lave No Forgiveness in Souls

They know the hardsllips that their people
re now suffering-the cold and the hunger that
lists conquered people.
They have seen the destrAetion-have seen
death in its most violent form.
Death holds no fear for them. They are beyond
that stage.
They are driven onward by the desire for re-
venge-revenge for everything that has visited
Poland in the past 200 years.
Perhaps the Polish government has forgiven
the Russians now that the Reds have joined the
Allies.
Not so these men-they keep thinking of those
battles-of the hardships of their escape
They have no forgiveness in their souls. If
they did they might not be in Owen Sound today.
They are in Owen Sound to prepare themselves
for gigantic job-the job of restoring free
Poland once and for all.
To make Poland FREE and INDEPENDENT
of all countries.

equivalent in French money held in the United
States.
The Poles have spent this money wisely. With
it they pay the salaries of the men, buy uniforms
and guns and pay passage to Europe.
No money was spent for frills at the camp, for
there is no unnecessary thing in either the officers
headatiarters or the mems barracks.

In charge of the panzer group is Polish-speak-

The Kosciuszko Camp has two sources of in
come-the lend-lease bill and French money.
The amount of lease-lend aid given the Polish
troops in Canada by the United States government
is cosely-guarded secret. 1t is admitted, how
ever, that all of the equipment needed by the
Polish for training is furnished by Uncle Sam.
Before the invasion of Poland the government
sent the Polish money to France for safe-keeping.
When France fell the Germans seized the Poles
money.
The United States government ruled that the
French had been lax in not sending the Polish
money to the United States as they sent most of

Think Most Of Going TO Europe

Everything is stripped to the barest essentials;
No curtains cover the windows of the officers,
mess no soft comfortable chairs are in the officers
recreation room-only straight-back folding chairs
are provided.
These officers and men want no comforts
they want to leave Owen Sound for Europe.
Every Pole talked with had the thought OF
his departure uppermost in his mind That's what
he lives for-the day when he will reach Europe
nd again join the battlefront.
It's no bravado or desire for adventure that
lrives these men onward-its something much
leeper-more sincere.
The knowledge of the fate of their relatives,
heir friends and their country if they do not come

LANSING. Feb. 13.-Republican
plans 10 curb the spending powers
of the Democratic highway depart
mant went haywire today when a
flaw large as a bass drum was
found in Senator Joseph A. Bald
wins proposal to divert 10 per
cent Of gasoline and weight tax
funds for retiring the states
deficit.
His idea. known as Joint reso-
luton c. was enthusiastically re-
ceived by sniping COP members,
Shuttled in and out of the judi
ciary committee in record time.
The committee even added an
amendment of its own Which would
divert soc of the money for old
age and assistance and this re-
celved the approval of the Senate.
Then came the awakening.
Under federal statutes, highway
funds can be diverted only if the
STATE is willing to give up ALL
congressional grants for road pur-
poses. This would cost Michigan
millions and would end all talk of
crosS-town super highway for
Detroit which is expected to be
built largely with federal funds.
Baldwin'S resolution was sent
right back TO committee.
