front.For example, he explained, the | Lennoxville Auxiliary Police assist-; ed in the flood of last spring and .aided in searches for German prison-I ers of war.I The next speaker was Director of Police and Fire Percy Donahue.He voiced his appreciation to the Sher-ibrooke Mobile Police for aiding municipal police in all emergencies | during the present year.1 \u201cThese men have fulfilled their ; duties to the best of their ability,\u201d | he said, urging the different groups jto continue for the duration because Ithey have rendered a good service, î È.J.Kingsland, 0.C.of the | Magog Mobile Police, termed the ]policeman\u2019s job a profession, saying 'that a policeman cannot be made in 'a day and must undergo a thorough 1 training before becoming full-; fledged.He also outlined the responsibilities of a constable.I He scored the Government action :in ordering disbanding of civilian auxiliary services in some sectors of [the Dominion and asserted he was at !a loss to understand the motive since the men are offering their services and purchasing their uniforms and weapons.Brief remarks were made by J.K.Flaherty, Business Manager and Victory Loan Officials And Workers wtsplll Ü QUALITY in TEA and COFFEE gives you greater QUANTITY IN CUPS Pictured here are a number of Victory Loan campaign officials and workers for the County of Sherbrooke.Front row, from left to right: L.R.Hebert, county organizer; P.Kennedy, divisional organizer; D.J.Sails, joint chairman; Hon.Jacob Nicol, member of the Provincial Committee; Louis fodere, joint chairman with Mr.Salis; H.A.Clark, Sherbrooke organizer, and Henri Rohiiaille, divisional organizer.Others in the group, photographed prior to a dinner given at the Club Social by Hon.Jacob Nicol, include; A.Gauthier, Mrs.B.N.Holtham, Mrs.Percy Buckland, Miss L.Fales, Miss Louisette Blondeau, Mrs.A.],.Frizzle and Airs.Jean-Mario Lafontaine.CITY BRIEFLETS Ladies\u2019 Aid chicken patty tea and Christmas sale, St.Andrew\u2019s Ch.hall, Wed., Nov.17, 3 to 6 p.m.Adm.35c.TEA £>COFFEE \u2022 * # WATCH MUR U0HÎ AHO COARD tMSTCHJ, Free delivery, 10-30 a.m order day before.Terry\u2019s Lunch & 'Confectionery, 10 Dutïcrin.Tel.195.Editor of the Sherbrooke Daily Piecord.He pledged co-operation in the future as in the past in connection with the support in the columns of the paper of the activities of the Mobile Police Forces in this district.Adjutant Charles Heon, of the local unit, gave a resume in French of what had been said, especially for the French-speaking members of the various forces.Others who spoke briefly were the Rev.Wr.Gray, of Cookshire, Padre; Captain Pat Slattery, O.C.Company Two, Sherbrooke, and Fred Barter, O.C.Cookshire Mobile Police; Section Commander W.S.Richardson and Sidney Spanswick, of Lennoxville, and Dr| G.Saine, Medical Officer.Mr.Foote read a letter of regret from Mayor A.C.Ross, who was unable to attend due to a Council Municipal Taxation Levies Remain FATHER, SON Unchanged For Next Fiscal Period BANQUET HELD AT LENNOXVILLE Despite the steadily mounting sur-j sold within the city limits by licensed plus in the Sherbrooke municipal ; dealers, the City to be recompensed daily,; finances, the tax rate for the coming | for this payment along with admin- year will remain unchanged at ten and a half mills on the dollar, a bylaw to this effect being given all three readings at the regular session of the City Council last evening and adopted.In addition an additional half-mil!

things that were wise and many things that were good.This was to be expected as the Justice Minister has a reputation for\t,\t-, i \u2022 , V\t'T'* I .\t,\t1\ti piling a work pile ot jobs that mav be done after intelligence, integrity and moderation.But be also ventured into fields that seem rather new to him, especially in regard to the promises he is making, for Canadians in the post-war world.When he attacked the C.G.F., fie was standing RE-MAKING THE GERMANS St.Thomas Times-Journal.The problem of what to do with the German people themselves after the war is one that is exercising the minds of many people.How are they to be re-educated away from their \u201cmaster race\u201d complex which they always had and which has been so disastrously intensified by Adolf Hitler, so that some day they will be re-made and are willing and capable of being absorbed among the peace-loving nations of the -world?Various suggestions have been advanced, and we note the address of Jonkheer MichieLs van Verduynen, Ambassador of the expatriate Netherlands Government in London, at London University during Netherlands Week.Mr.van Verduynen said it would be hard for a Hollander to admit that there are any \u201cgood\u201d Germans, a view which a large number of people will agree with, although not going so far as to say that the only good German is a dead one.He is opposed to splitting Germany into separate states, believing that would create an irredentist spirit, but he feels there should be a lengthy occupation of Germany by civilian organizations, as well as military supervision, to teach the German people not only the truth about war, including the events that led up to it, but the principles of democracy.His plan is to first give them free and untrammeled municipal elections, followed by test provincial or state elections, and fini lly national self-government.One advantage in dealing with the Germans is that they have \u201can aptitude for obedience.\u201d The German is accustomed to doing as he is bidden by those in authority without questioning the why or wherefore of the orders.This is a hopeful factor in the German situation.The question may arise, however, whether this re-education should be in the hands of occupying civilians or by \u201cconverted\u201d Germans themselves.The Germans might be resentful, hostile and non-co-operative toward representatives of their conquerors, although there is a probability they are sick of thoir own masters.We favor the idea of Allied teachers.The Germans were left to their own devices after the last war.The result was Nazism.at Brewster.DeLorenzo joined both just to play safe.The C.I.O.United Auto Workers won the election and DeLorenzo\u2019s union career was under way.Incidentally, DeLorenzo admitted under questioning by committee members that he had previously stated the union\u2019s policy as not to win the war at any cost but to win it without sacrificing too many rights.He also admitted he had said \u201cin substance\u201d that if he had brothers at the front who needed ten to twelve planes, he would let them die rather than sacrifice all the union\u2019s rights.DeLorenzo said that all workers at Brewster hope conditions will improve under Mr.Kaiser.We might add that if the substitution of Mr Kaiser for the former Brewster management is expected to improve conditions, it is only reasonable to suppose that an even greater improvement Plight be effected by the substitution of somebody\u2014almost anybody\u2014for DeLorenzo or whatever you choose to call him.OLD HOME WEAK !\\ TESTUHG £URoPA 3* '¦\u201c2:$-\t** AS m, l**S!H4£gjS5£ ¦dlSfeL______ SO THEY SAY Do You Know?the war.The idea of making a check-up of what remodelling,

known as Thomas V.DeLorenzo.He is president of Local 365 of the United Auto Work-! ers of America.But DeLorenzo is not his name.He was born Harry Posner, picked DeLorenzo \u201cbecause ; it sounded nice\u201d and had his name changed in 193;.He has also been known as James Harris,Sid Traurig and several other names \u201cwhenever they came in handy.\u201d DeLorenzo, or whatever you choose ; to call him, was a witness before a ; House investigating committee the ] other day.He amazed the members with the na,ures of the admissions he made in telling the story of his life and rise to pov er in the union he now heads.Among other things he admitted that he had lied to the Brew* r company and his draft, board about his work experience, that he had lied about his age, lied about his police record which includes charges of riot and fifteen traffic violations, and would tie \u201cany time in order to eat.\u201d DeLorenzo admitted to the 1 committee that until he went to Brewster he had never had any air-' craft experience or even belonged to a union.At that time both the C.I.O.and A.F.L.were fighting for control WHEN THE WAR WILL END Ottawa Journal.The pity of Lord Halifax\u2019s weekend statements on the possibilities of the war ending soon is that his hopes wilt be mistaken for convictions, his speculations ior absolute predictions, Lord Halifax said that the war has reached a point where \u201canything may happen\u201d and that it was logical to believe th vt an internal crackup in Germany may come at \u201cany time\u201d\u2014-and upon this the optimists will pounce.What the optimis .= : nd too mai.j others will not notice is th; t Lord Halifax also warned we shouldn\u2019t count too heavily on a sudden collapse.Said he: \u201cOne part of your mind should prepare for .long and tougl struggle, but with the other part you can legitimately watch for anything to happen.\u201d And Lord Halifax, it will be noted, was not talking about a crackup of the German Army but of an \u201cinternal\u201d crack-up of Germany, There is a difference.The difference that while the state and power of the Gernirn Army can b-measured by actual conditions in the field, the state of German internal morale cannot easily be measured.We canno' know with anything of certainty how \u201c-ongh that morale is.It may turn out to be very brittle, but then again it ma; happen that the German people will display unexpected powers of endurance.There are those who, approaching the date of the armistice in the last war, hold that conditions in Germany are n uch what they ve.e before the collapse of 1918, pin their faith , pon that.Yet what the experience of the past four years seems to chow is that forecasts about the present war based upon the last have almost invariably been silly.At any rate, it would be the worst sort of folly at this time to take our hope, and relax our efforts.The most !ucces*ful fighter is the fellow who tries ail the harder when his ; opponent

Germany in often-bombed England is afforded by a recent poll taken by Professor A.A.Low.Having in mind the hundreds of attacks made by enemy fliers on the British Isles, the massacre of Coventry, the raids on Southhampton, Plymouth and East London, the thousands of families killed and the countless homes demolished, The scientist sought to learn the intensity of the hostility left as a result.The attacks began long before the very effective reprisals now under way had been launched, and wreaked havoc on churches, hospitals, schools, convents, orphanages and public buildings of all sorts throughout the British Isles.Thousands of lives, chiefly among the poorer classes, were sacrificed to this indiscriminating ferocity.To test the heritage of hate resulting from these onslaughts, Professor Low.through the London Sunday Chronicle, asked a hypothetical question.It was: \u201cIf a new weapon were invented which would kill every man, woman and child in Germany tomorrow by pressing

much better, Walter Nash, the first Minister ever sent to Washington by New Zealand, has written a book: \u201cNew Zealand Has a Democracy That Works.\u201d Mr.Nash was a.former Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand, and he should have his facts straight.In.his book he tells us that New Zealand\u2019s democracy is anything but a \u201cdictatorship by the proletariat.'' Most of New Zealand\u2019s workers, he tells us, have elected to accept compulsory arbitration.Their government has prohibited strikes and lockouts for the duration and draft-1 ed men and women not only for the! army but for industry.It has required employers to fine their men for absenteeism and has extended the normal week on defense projects from forty to fifty-four hours with overtime in excess only of forty-eight and no special holiday or Sunday rates.Imagine the ht wl that would go up from the C.C.F.politicians if the Ottawa Governmen- were to institute such \u201creforms\u201d in Canaia.Compare the labor policy of New Zealand with the demands being made by the striking miners of Alberta.Perhaps Canada \u2022 tight to appoint Mr.Nasi as tjie labor representative on the National War Labor Board to take the place of Mr.Cohen.tons\t\tG E\t&\tP\ti Iepclluip\t to 1.\t8 He was\t 13 Mistake\tEE\tP L\tAikkiaAisiL iiCÎElAÎSEID\t\t POET OF EIRE I HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured poet, William But- Answer to Previous Puzzle _______1 H A=?E A|_p LANGPOPD ULE S i NG S AN 1 LE 14\tSymbol for ruthenium 15\tWeird 16\tPoints a weapon 17\tLease IS Young salmon 19\tOf the thing 20\tObserve 22\tEarly English (abbr.) 23\tJewels 24\tBehold! 2G Driving command 27 Fillip 31\tMystic-syllable 32\tSymbol for nickel 33\tMeasure 34\tSeem 37 Row 39\tAgainst 40\tPungent 42 Mother 44 Render'unfit for eating 47 War Office (abbr.) 49 Unbleached 51\tSnatch 52\tSo be it! 54 Fixed look 56\tHeart (Egypt) 57\tCubic meter 58\tAsh-gray 59\tBachelor ol Science (abbr ) 80 Flower PÎT ___________________,.S E A ROlEbAEjAiRl sfepi ATI \"N UPlo !
