O'BRIEN LAST WEEK: Rollini, embitter- id by hit experience with Joan, tellp hit whole story to the coi- MMl, seedi no mercy for previous- ly having concealed certain facts.

Officers of the convoy break open sealed orders, discover strategy for eluding Nazi craft and getting sll of troops ssfely to England. * TO THE "WELCOME SNAIL" CHAPTER XI Deliberately or not. Lieutenant Rollins was given th toughest organisation chores upon arrival at Aldershor Camp. Assigned to the Divisional Headquarters Staff, he had been ruehed Immediately upon arrival at a Scottish port to the nearest railway terminal and sent, with a number of other officers, directly to AMwshot to handle endless detail work assoc- iated with the Mile-tin* of the Canadian soldiers due to follow on troop train*. But Rollins was glad of the 20- bour-a-day Job. It helped take his mind oft other thoughts that gnawed Into his brain at every u-is.ire moment. Besides, the tragic experience on "T 9" bad taken the edge off the glamor to be expected at the end of the zvg- saggy Atlantic odyssey. The lip had gone out of tbe whole drama, and his soul was haunted by a memory the soft light in a pair of hjue eyee as he- glanced fleet- ingly in Joan's direction that aw- ful night in the O. C.'s cabin. That he had followed the stern path of duty didn't ease his pain. There are emotions that rise above patriotism, and in the softness ot those* blue eyes even after his "betrayal" Greg had read for- giveness. He could have sworn that she had given him a kindly smile, as much as to say that she understood. But he felt every mo- ment he had spent with the girl would remain forever with him. That night before landing hail provided many thrills. In the late afternoon, the troops had plainly A FAMOUS BRAND Aden's FINE CUT Located in the picturesque range ranching country West of High River, Alberta, The Stampede Ranch is owned and operated by Guy Weddick, cowboy, writer, dean of International rodeo pro- ducers, who for many years pro- duced THE STAMPEDE at Calgary. ?"T-Hanging-S" Btond of THE STAMPEDE 3 RANCH : .. .1 I.-'VH gunfire in the dis- tant southeast and, strangely en- ough, the convoy had Immediately veered off an oddly irregular course in the direction of the action. An hour or so after sun- set, the booming noises bad end- ed, and the ocean ex-panee bad assumed the mantle of awesome tranquillity that comes with nighr. It was nearly one o'clock when a lonely winking light off the starboard bow made the night young. Outside, the ship remain- ed its same gloomy blacked-our self, but, inside, it wad pulsating with life and good fellowship. That lonely light meant the con- voy had actually come within sight of land most likely North ern Ireland and although the ships were obviously in dangerous waters the thrill of seeing a light house after so many days at sea dominated all other sensations. The party lasted to dawn when the men found themselves sailing serenely along the River Clyde flanked on either side by rolling Scottish hills with pretty villages dotting the breathtaking green- MU.

The escortinj men-of-war I lined up on the sides, and the tars elood on deck at attention, in salute to the passing contin- gent. Faiiied rivalry between Army and Navy went by the boards, and the soldiers cheered themselves hoarse. It was :i superb moment enough :ilmc.n for any man's lifetime. Nex: morning, Greg and his fel- low staff officers reached Alder- shot Camp. Army transport autos rushed them from the railway terminal through typically Eng- lish lanes, bordered by well-kept green hedges, quaint little villages, endlera., parr.de wounds level as Mi a billiard table, pretty stream's and dense wooded areas. Occas- ionally they slowed down along the left side of the road for pas.s- Ing lines of marching troop* or motorized convoys. Grecr remembered t!iat back borne he had heard a speaker compare the size of Montreal with that of Aldershot Montreal. 32,000 acres, and Aldershot, 30.- 0<X) acres. And too. that speaker had dwelt on the fact that upon these parade grounds where Can- adian feet now marched. Romans once marched to war, and ruins somewhere in the Atdershot area marked the spot where King Al- fred had built fortifications a thousand years before-. But that was all the time he had for romantically historical reflec- tions. Tl few minutes after arriv- ing at Vimy Barracks the Divis- ional H. Q. Rollins and his com- panions were put to work. In fact. for 25 hours he was at a desk without even leaving for meals. Now, three days after arriving at Aldershot. the hectic prelim- inary work had been completed. Headquarters Companies of the various units would now take, over, and Rollins found himself read- ing a notification from his O. C. that would ordinarily have brought a cheer to his lips. He had been granted his 48 hours' leave effec- tive immediately instead of hav- ing to wait for the expected ten days. With a grim smile, be fingered the biVk army note. A look-see at London would have been a new hig"h for him it .... if ... He shook his heart. Seated in a London-bound train, Reg read wltb interest a delayed newspaper report of the landing of "another contingent from Can- ada this time a complete division at an unnamed Scottish port." Another headline caught his eye: NAZIS BLITZED IN CON- VOY ATTACK. Under it a head- Ing read: U-BOAT TRAP BACK- FIRBS WITH HEAVY LOSES. "It was announced today by the admiralty that a major assault on an incoming convoy was re- pulsed with heavy losses suffered by the Nazis. At least five U- boats were destroyed." the ac- count stated, "and 12 enemy bom- bers and lighters downed in one of the fiercest engagements of short duration seen in the war to date. "The Admiralty admitted that the force and co-ordination of the enemy attack would Indicate tliat a trap had been set for the con- voy, but the Navy had no inten- tion of allowing 'any more JY:-\is Bay tragedies.' "No indication was given of the size of the British escort or ot the whereabouts of the attack, but it was stated that some of the planes shot down carried R.A.F. markings which is alleged to have been the reason for the sinking of a liner some weeks ago. It would appear, therefore, that the R.A.F h;..* dvcised a signal system that, has checkmated the latest Hitli'i-ian device. "F.xi-ipt for one lighter which, failed to return from the engage- ment, the only loss suffered by the British forces was some dam age to a destroyer raid the sink- ing of a trawler, the Loch Lomond. The gallant skipper, whoso nams had not yet been ascertained as this edition went to press, found himself near a U-boat that had apparently been driven to the sin-- face by depth-charges. "Instead of veering away from the U-boat and allowing nearby warships to attack, the Lock Lo- nioud turned her bow directly at the Nazi and approached full speed ahead. A British destroyer was forced to hold its tire in fear of hitting the trawler while the U-boat, opoucd fife on the Loch U>imi<;. It wa-i point-blank range, and the trawler was severe- ly hit several tinier, sinking be- fore achieving its evident purpose to ram the U-boat which was later captured by the destroyer. No survivors of the Loch Lomond have been reported." Rollins smiled sadly to himself. He was recalling the ruddy-faced Scot who had stood on the. bridge and waved merrily as he passed the troop ehipe back In the Ca- nadian port while the men sung the song suggested by the painted- over name on the bow. It was evening when Greg landed in Waterloo Station. For th first time, the lieutenant found himself in something of a quan- dary. Where would he go? Lon- don was cloaked in Its nightly blackout shadows, and there was nothing to be seen by uedesti'ians. Stretch It Because fighting planes must have countless tires such aa these, U. S. is stretching its rub- ber supply as far as possible, reclaiming all it can. Tire on bottom tits medium bomber. A roast beef dinner at Simpson's might be the best bet. He felt his way gingerly into a cab. " To Simpson'fl, driver, and there's no hurry." He settled back In the darkness, then leaned for- ward again, tappiug the glass. "Could you drive me. instead, to a restaurant on Greek Street in the Soho? It's called the 'Wel- come Snail'." In th^ gloom of the c:il>. Rol- lins' face was lined with a whim- sical smile. Thin would have been a glorious night if he had been on his way to a meeting with Joan. He mentally pictured the scene, and even imagined how she would look, what they would talk about and . . . He shook his head. This wae tearing open wounds that had cut deeply into his very being. (To be concluded) Against The Law To Destroy Rubber Scope of the regulation making it an offence to destroy 'ires has been broadened to Include all scrap rubber, it was announced recently by the De-partmpnt of Munitions and Supply. The order now provides that no person shall burn, cut, or destroy "any tire or tube of a passenger 'ar, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, air- plane or other vehicle, any rub- ber boots, hose, scrap from repair- ing or from making repair mater- ials, buffing scrap from, preparing for retreating, retread scrap, fan belts, radiator hose," or other need or discarded rubber products or rubber scrap. An authorized lire dealer must make the best possible use ut tires and tubes wliivh can be made fit for further iiise on the road, must resell those which, are in good con- dition, must repair and resell those which cun be madt; safe for operation, hut is allowed lo sell to another authorized dealer for re- pair and resale a tire which he does not want to repair himself. All tires or tubes which cannot be> sold, or repaired for sale, to a vehicle owner must be disposed of to a salvage collector such as a local branch of the National Salvage committee or sold to a scrap dealer. Improve Vision With Vitamin A Remember green is the color signal for vitamin A, necessary for ;rood vision among other health factors. Yellow vegetables and fr-.;* s.ich as carrots, squash, apricots and peaches also contain this import ;nt vitamin. Leaf lettuce is one. but just a leaf under a salad isn't going to provide the day's requirements. It must be eaten in quantity, in- cluding the outer dark leaves which arc highest in food value. In buyiiiK either leaf or head let- tuce watch for fresh, crisp tender leaves. Spinach and the wild Kreen "lamb's quarters," are early green vejictables. Cook for the shortest time necessary and with little water. That which clings to the leaves after washing is suf- ficient. Avoid usinn 1 soda to re- tain color since it destroys vita- mins A and C, advises Nutrition Services, Department of Pensions and National Health. Onions add flavour to spring menus. L'sc the jrreen tops finely chopped in salads.
