THURSTON, Editor J GLEE WAS PREMATURE Last week the (people regwrded Italy's removal from active partici- pation in the war as tho end of hos- tilities in that country, but they did not know of the large numbers of Nazi troops occupying that country, apparently knowing that Italy was the weak link of the Axis nations. The Allies placed another landing party in Italy a few miles south of Naples and they are being hard pressed at the present time to keep the bridgehead they have occupied in that country-. The British Eighth Army, of whieh '.Canadians form a part, is hurrying forth from the heeJ of Italy and will endeavor to give relief to the hard pressed American Army, which had formed the bride- head, along with a Canadian tank brigade. The Germans are giving stiff resistance with a view that it is better to keep the enemy south of Rome, than to allow them to occupy ir fields close to Germany that would enable 'he Allied bomber planes to wreck venogeance on every city in the Reisch. In the East the "Umsiass are continuing their victor- Sous offensive and have taken many centres vital to Germany'* defense of the territory they had won during the past two years. But we are thankful that Itnly is out of the ftght and that the Medit- erranean is free from the threat of Italy's flee.t which has surrendered to the Allied fore -, most of the ships now being safe in Allied handa, and the final Hay of reckon- ing is that much closer to the mad Nazis. However, there is yet plenty of fighting to be done before the day of freedom will be at hand and many will be the homes saddened with the loss of loved ones in the battle for world freedom. Let us not have faint heart, but great cour- age to withstand the battles yet *o come. Catholic Church was taken as a hostage. Would it stop rioting with British troops in Quebec and bring the French Catholic Into the fight with full support to. British arms? The Dundalk night witchnutn will no doubt be in thu "Val'ey of Hum- iliation" this week, from the fact that he saw the robbers at their work and did not investigate.

THE RED SCHOOL IS OVER- LOOKED In these days when juvenile del- nquency is alarmingly on he increase and parental direction at a low ebb in many sections the voice of author- ity is heard proclaiming the need for better and greater educational facil- ities for the youth of the land. In the higher brackets State aid is recom- ended for youths without weans whose talent* warrant University training. It is true that in the past thousands of young people have gone out in the world and by individual ef- fort, pluck and self-denial acquired means to secure the knowledge that State aid now proposes to place at the disposal of poor, but ambitious, young persons. While Social Security is aim- ing at the higher thing* H is to be feared the "Little Red School House" is being almost entirely overlooked. The repert of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reveals that a very con- siderable number of small schools in Canada have had to remain closed or be put in charge of teachers without certificates as the regular teachers have drifted into more remunerative fields of work. The Bureau states that teachers' salaries in half the small schools in eight provinces, Quebec ex- cluded, do not amount to more than *AO monthly. You cannot attract any great teaching ability at this rate of pay and it fully accounts for the exod- us of 2,100 teachers since the out- break of war. Fully 80 per cent, of this loss was from the one-room rur- al schools, where one-third of the 50,100 teachers in the eight provinc- es reporting work. The showing in salaries paid is somewhat better in Ontario as compared with the remun- eration in the small schools in the seven provinces, but is really nothing to boait about. This situation ia a present day problem that calls- for redress and worthy to take precedence over post- war rehabilitation so much in the public view today. Renfrew Mer- cury. It would play havoc with the ap- proaching football season, if pigskin was rationed as well as pig. A curious thintr about cattle rusters is that they work so quietly there is no rustle about them. Great Britain and the United States have jointly sent Russia a million tons of sugar. That partly explains why we have sugar ration- ing.
