Where is the proud army, navy and air force that we built up during the years until we had to take a second place to none as regards equipment, men and materials Yes, where is it? It certainly doesn‘t exist today as it did during the war years. As a matter of plain unvarnished fact, it is altogether probable that the pitiful remnants of our once proud armed forces, would not even compare favourably with what we had in 1939 and it was common knowledge then, that we could not fight our way out of a paper bag with the men and equipment maintained in the guise of a "standing army" or "reserve force". « On paper, Canada has a reserve army of 185,000. but the actual enlistments are less than half that number. Of those that do belong to the permanent army, the majority are tied to desk jobs of one kind or another. The truth is that our reserve units are as badly off two years.after the war as they were in 1939 and the present regular forces if they were all massed together at one time, would not make one good fighting brigade. We have at all times in the past depended not on our own armed might or on our own resources to defend our country, but rather on the might and resources of Britain. If we got into hot water in any shape or form, we could always hang onto Britain‘s skirt and be protected. The days of depending on some other country for protection of our own is gone. Britain at the present time is not even in position to protect herself, let alone send troops and equipment to Canada if we were invaded. We have been caught without either adequate defensive or offensive means in two wars. If we are caught in a like position the next time, then it is altogether possible that we will have no opporâ€" tunity to try again.

This new issue will go on sale on October 1st. If such a thing should happen that we were to be invaded by a foreign power and were caught once more without a properly trained and equipped army, navy and air force, a trained reserve and proper defensive measures, then the first thing that should be done is to take those government officials responsible for the defense of our country, out, and shoot them for treason.

All normal soils contain certain quanâ€" tities of all these elements in a form usually available to the plant, but if the mgply is depleted it must be replaced by the farmer if he exâ€" pects to maintain his soil in a ferâ€" tile condition.

Clear the air passage by pullâ€" ing out tongue and any other obâ€" struction. 4 2. Apply artificial _ respiration (preferably the Schaeffer method). 3. Keep artificial respiration up for at least four hours, or until riâ€" gor mortis sets in. _ Any one who has had experience with the rescue of drowning casuâ€" alties can recall imstances in which unconscious persons have been reâ€" vived after almost every one gaâ€" ent had given up hope. Dr. tes himself points to cases of successâ€" ful resuscitation in which the vicâ€" tim had been under water for nearâ€" ly half an hour before being resâ€" cued. The fact underlines the imâ€" portance of continuing artificial reâ€" spiration as long as the slightest hope for recovery remains. In view of the large number of drowning fatalities that have been reported this year, the advice of Dr. Gordon Bates of the Health Leafue of Canada is worth the atâ€" tention of all. Too often, Dr. Bates declares, artificial respiration has not been continued long enough to be certain that life is extinct. As a result, it is only fair to conclude, some unfortunate victims have been given up for dead when their lives meight have been saved by continued effort. \ DON‘T GIVE UP TOO EASILY Children go back to school ... leaves redden and fall ... darkness comes carlier ... the last crops are taken in ... fires become popular again ... there is frost in the morning air.
