AMONG US GIRLS

'Dear Girls:
Even in the midst of all these
strikes and peace treaty turmoil n
the like l seem to see a glimmer of
reconstruction and pre-war times.
Walking down town this morning i
encountered in the first place a young
lieutenant back to his position driving
q truck right behind him drove a
private (some say in the rear rank but
any way he was only a buck prlvate)
driving his OWE machine. waking
on / suddenly heard a long whistle
and turning 1 saw a laddie waving
from q machine and he shouted, Just
got a hitch to New Brunswick" A
sergeant he had been, but today ne
was once more a school boy with
books under his arm.
Later / met a young sailor, now ne
had forgotten all about the need OF
tying knots and the like and was earn
estty. If unsucoessfully, seeking a JOB.
Still other s~ergeants' corporals, n
even a wonderful captain were espec
lively going about their daily tasks.
The same old greetings were exchanft-
Cd, the strain the renewal OF TREND
ship has by now passed away and the
world is smiling again.
$50 1t seemed to me that these
strikes and the like must come to
some sort Of a conclusion all in their
good time.
TITS a nice old world after all girls,

FLAG MAN IS THE
DEFEAT TRADEMARK
wv. HI, GOch@.)

Nobody loves the flagman. He is
the trade mark of defeat. The swish
of his little red flag has blasted many
a hope and put a big black spot on
the career of what looked like n
good horse until he made a mistake Or
got the worst OF a hub rubbing affair
at a point where the judges could not
see who, was to blame. h.
Every afternoon during a race
meeting the flagman stands at his
dusty station on the stretch ready to
put a crimp in the Joy of a few who
thought they had a winner only to
find after the wore was given that
their selection was either shy Of speed
or racing manners. both of which are
always fatal on a race track. To them
the flutter of he bit of red bunting
brings down the curtain on what at
one time looked like an enjoyable
afternoon.
At all up to date race meetings, the
flagman is a necessary evil. They
come in all kinds Of attire from a
dapner old gentleman in a red vest
and creased pantaloons, who apollo
g1Zes whenever he is compelled to
end a horse to the barn, to an ex-
groom with a brand Of conversation
that is a cross between a few pages
from the Year Book and, a handful
Of tales from the Arabian nights
The flagman's position is not a
very interesting one, still there are a
few people who make bid for 1t. To
them the manoeuvering Of the drivers
and horses when scoring has fascina-
ton. while they forget the crisp
conversation that is used when a
driver finds that an outsider has slip
ped into his position, or when the
horses in the front tier rush off before
the trailers have turned.
In racing, the flagman acts on the
reverse. He is not expected to pay
any attention to the leaders which
tators and quick work in the Judges
stand when they are finishing heaos
apart. The tail enders are his prey.
As the field spreads on the second
trip up thu back stretch on a half-mile
track or approaches the three quart
ers on the large ovals, those who
begin to fall back make the cogs move
