CANADA'S YOUNGEST HONORARY COLONEL i To four-yeur-old "Teddy" I'art- wriuht life in Cobourg these days is pretty dull. And sail. yHonor- nry colonel of a hospital unit stationed at Cobourg, he said his i;oo<i-byc.s bravely when he in- spected the unit for the last time. Arrival of the unit overseas has been announced. "Colonel" Cart- wright is pictured above. With Col. C. F. Abbott, officer com- manding the unit, he is seen at right making a final inspection of the unit. The best pals he ever bad lm\e now gone off to war and he has been left behind with nothing to console him but memories of the happiest days of his short life. Teddy "joined" the Canadian Army several months ago when the unit took up headquarters in the Cobourg armories for the period of < its mobilization and OTTAWA REPORTS training. Living practically next door to the armories, Teddy be- gan paying daily visits to all ranks and so popular did he be- come that the lads had a regula- tion battle dress made for him. In recognition of his then three years of life, Colonel 0. F. Ab- bott, officer commanding the unit, made him a sergeant and gave him throe service stripei for his sleeve. Because he took his soldiering -eriously and was on hand for parade every day, Teddy was later promoted to the rank of honorary lieutenant-colonel. Hs is Undoubtedly the youngest per- son in all Canada to hold that rank. THE WAR WEEK Commentary on Current Events Record Of Four Years Of War Is Full Of German Mistakes The Nazis seemed to have good reason to believe that the war, which Is now about to enter UK fifth year, could be brought to a conclusion satisfactory to them within perhaps the first twelve months, nays the New York Times. For more than twelve months, Indeed, everything turned out even better than they bad expected. In I'oland the wi-utb,M .-mil' 'I on t!i- MI and the roads and fields remained conveniently iky for their tanks. The French were more divided and even less well prepared than early reports Imil Indicated. The British were un- ready, except at sea and in tin; little matter of fighting aircraft. In fact, the very weakness ol (!<T- inany's enemies in 1940 was per- haps responsible for throwiii': ihe Nazi machine out of gear. With a di 'eimint'd effort the Nazis mi^lit have effected a landing in I'.iitaiu in July or August, 19-10. Union tin- ately for them, the blueprints for this opera! ion were not complet- ed. The invasion was transferred to the air, and In the air Germany was repulsed The Wlseit Course Yet the situation was still hope- ful for tile Nazis. If they could not invade Ilntain it was still leas possible for Britain and her do- minion allies to invade the Con- tinent. At the beginning of 1941 any calculation of material war -ii. n "ili would havu suggested that a Nazi victory was only a matter of lime. On the basis of previous experience, it seemed un- likely that either Russia or the Vnited States would enter the war unleHH attacked. Germany's wisest mi KM-, one would have thought, would have been to lake North Atrli a, Suez and th Near lOast, with some assistance from I ho It. ih ,11 batter or starve Britain into Hubmlusion, and then inquire of the.

On The Defensive But by this time the Nazis were either too confident or too appre- hensive, it i hard to tell which. To forestall a two-front war they started one. They opened qgainsl Russia a "battle of annihilation." Then they added Japan to their active allies and the United Slates to their active enemies. They kill- ed a great many people during 1941, but they ended the year with_ about 300,000,000 more antagonists' than they had had at its begin- ning. Every spring since 1041 it has heen customary lo say that if the Nazis did not win that summer they would not win. They failed of a conclusive victory In 1!)41 and ai;ain in 1942. This sumnior, ex- cept for a limited and futile of- fensive In the neighborhood of Kursk, they liavo not even tried for victory. They have been too busy staving off defeat. Nazi Mistakes Tin 1 record of the four years Is full of Nazi mistakes. Most of them were due to their inability to understand other people. To their Ravage cruelty In Norway, the Low Lands and France they added wholesale pilfering, alienat- ing millions who might otherwise have become resigned to their rule. They were humorless and corrupt abroad as at home They stirred up lnilred and disgust among their own allies, notably In Italy but also, beyond doubt, in Rumania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Austria. They misjudged Ameri- ca's fighting qualities. They gross- ly underestimated Russia's strength. Lesson For Axis These things help to explain why Germany cannot now win. They also point tho moral that no nation, however well prepared, however ruthless, can be master of the whole world. The enemies of such a nntlon increase faster than they can bo disarmed or slain. Their courage. Ingenuity and persistence are sharpened by per- il. The aggressor nation stirs up forces against which It cannot stand, and which will be satiated with nothing loss than Its military destruction. Mankind simply will not endure Nazi rule, or any rule resembling it. This is a lesson for the Axis, and for any future aggressors. Back To Burma Appointment of Lord Louis Mountbatten to be supreme Allied commander in Southeast Asia puts all but the finishing touches on plans for a Burma campaign. Evi- dently Burma is to be the objec- tive of operations designed to re- connect China with its Allies. Na- turally the time for the attack i- not announced, but the monsoons will last until October. To reasons for the selection of Lord Mounthatten for this assign- ment are Immediately obvious: (1) In that theater of war, the Allies need to wipe out memories of old defeats; a commander with the Mountbatten record will help to Instill confidence where it is needed. (2| The character of the operations In Hurnui will call for exactly the type of experience Lord Mountliatten has had as head of the famed Commandos; tho Allies must approach Burma in force In a combined sea, air a'ul land operation. _ The knowledge of these plans must have been heartening to China's foreign minister, T. V. SOOMK, who atiended the Quebec conference. Their disclosure is heartening to all who have been wondering how long it would he before the United Nations could amass power enough to contem- plate strategic as well as tactical offensives in the Far Kast.

Order Will Effect a More Equitable Allo- cation of Jam*, Syrup*, etc. The new ration allowances for jams, jellies, syrups, canned fruit and similar products, with the permission to obtain as an alter- native one-half pound of sugar for each coupon, is really a big end important concession to the rural folk of Canada. The news behind the news of that order is that the Wartime Prices and Trade Hoard realized that inasmuch as rural folk for the most part do their own pre- serving of these tasty commodi- ties and country stores are rarely stocked with them in jny event, the old situation worked inequal- ity. * * * The country people claimed that any more or less even d's- tribution of sugar for home can- ning was unfair to them, and the new order was issued in recogni- tion of that claim, and to effect a more nearly equitable a'loca- tion of sweetspreads in the light of real circumstances. The new order meaiis, in effect, sugar for the rural folk for their fall apple sauce and more partic- ularly sugar with which to sweet- en those preserves which they put down earlier without sugar. The new order means that when they open those jars of unsweetened fruits they will have ample sugvir with which to sweeten them. At the same time the urban folk have their permission to use their coupons to obtain their jam rations at the city stores. * * * Two "D" coupons from the new ration book become good each month and for each coupon the purchaser has the choice of: 1. Six fluid ounces of jam. jelly, marmalade, extracted honey, apple butter, maple butter or honey butter, or; 2. Ten fluid ounces of molasses or maple syrup, or; 3. Ten fluid ounces of canned fruit, or; 4. Twelve fluid ounces of corn syrup, cane syrup or any blended table syrup, or; 5. One-half pound of maple lugar or comb honey in squares. As an alternative to any of these commodities the consumer may obtain for his "D" coupon one-half pound of sugar. SCOUTING . . . A recent census of the Boy Scout Movement iu Great Britain shows an average increase of 21 percent. Hundreds of Canadian Boy Scouts will shortly be assisting in a nation widfi drive for milkweed which is urgently needed for experimental work on synthetic rubber. Instructions will shortly go out to all Scout leaders In Canada on the method of collect- ing and drying the leaves. Oldest delegate to attend the re- cent National Scout Conference in Ottawa was Chief Justice J. II. M. Baxter of New Drunswick. The Chief Justice Is 75 years old and was bllletted with other Scout leaders at Klmwood ^school where be made his own bed each morn- ing. The Chief Justice has been for many years president of the WISE INVESTORS PREFER STOCKS TO CASH It ii beginning to down en many investori, tfcot boarded capital and unproductive bonk accounts are pretty poor aids in meeting increased toes and tK* high cost of living. Particularly BOW. when it is passible to buy many sound common stocks, at bargain prices, which possess substantial market appreciation possibilities. Nevertheless, this is no time to just buy stocks blindly. Most in- vestors ore in possession of such meagre information on security values, that it is purely a matter of luck if they happen to make any profits at all. Not only is it important to know what to BUY but that which is more important is to know whan to HOLD or SELL. PREDICTING THE TREND In March of this year we went on record that a Bull market of major proportions was in the making, and we further predict that this powerful Bull market should carry through to the year end. Right now American buying of Canadian securities is ot a new peak and "good buys" ore becoming increasingly scarce. This u one of the many reasons why we ore continuously on the lookout for low-priced issues that have unusual profit-making possibilities. EVEN NOW WE ARE INVESTIGATING THE MERITS OF SfVERAL LOW-PRICED STOCKS, WHICH, IF THEY MEA- SURE UP TO OUR EXPECTATIONS, SHOULD OFFER OUT- STANDING SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. These recommendations will be sent to you without cost by HM "special service department" of Clifford Reilly Investment Counsellor owned and operated by Clifford Reilly and Company. We feel that with a record breaking stock market in piotpect we con offer you an intelligent, honest and efficient investment service, but we expect no business unless and until we can con- clusively prove that you need our Investment Counsel.
