The Real Invasion Is On!

NATIONWIDE REACTION to
~ the erroneous report last
Saturday afternoon that the
Allies had landed in France DEM
onstrates beyond question that the
American people are fully pre-
pared for the impending show
down struggle with the Nazis.
When the false flash was heard
the nation proved instantly that it
possesses strength of spirit and
emotional steadiness SO essential
in moments of great crisis.
On Tuesday of this week the
invasion began. At last reports
the Allied armies are more than
holding their own.
For months our people have
been prepared for the day when
millions of our fighting men will
come to grips with the German
military machine on European
soil. We have been expecting the
supreme test at any moment. For
a few minutes last Saturday
afternoon the nation thought
D-Day had come. And in spite of
months of anxious tension our
people reacted calmly, grimly, rev.
erently.
There was no sign of either
panic or elation. Most of our
people who were aware of the
report reacted in much the same
manner as did a large crowd at a
baseball game in New York City,
When the first flash was an
nounced over the loud speaker sys-
tenn the game was stopped and the
spectators stood for a minute OF
silent prayer.
Yes, America was prepared for
the real D-Day which came on
Tuesday. The stuff of which this
nation is made was clearly demon
strated last Saturday.

43 Per Cent Of 1941

Passenger car drivers now re-

gasoline as they used in 1941, the
Petroleum Administration for War

duced passenger car mileage from
the peacetime level by about 81

theirs by 88 per cent.

Misbehaving Defendants

judge to throw some Of them into
Jail for contempt.
The presiding judge has exhib-
tied considerable patience. There
is a limit to what he should per-
NIT, however, and the quicker he
places the obstreperous persons
behind the bars for contempt of
court the better. Then, in the abb

the same manner that absent de-

campaign, the German officials
are bolstering the home-front by
proclaiming the readiness of the
Nazis to meet all attacks.
The same psychology is appar-

A casual comparison of the war

upon, he joined the economics fac
ulty at McGill University, later be-
coming head Of the department, re-
firing in 1886.
His first book, Elements of Po-
litical Science" was published in
1906, and from that time until his
death he wrote more than 40
books, as well as many articles and
essays. They included such con-
trasting titles as "The Unsolved
Riddle of Social Justice" and ar
|cadian Adventures With the Idle
Rich"
Gave Fortune to Cancer Research.
In 1900 he married Beatrix Hamil-
ton of Toronto. They had one son,
Stephen, born in 1915. After his
wife died of cancer in Liverpool
in December, 1926, he gave most of
his fortune to cancer research.
In 1888 Mr.. Leacock won the
Tweedsmuir Prize for his book, my
Discovery of the West"
Mr.. Leacock wrote many serious
volumes, but it was for the cheerful
nonsense he turned out in such
books as Literary Lapses" and
Behind the Beyond" that he be-
came famous.
He was noted as a speaker, too.
and had travelled extensively on lee
ture tours. At his superannuation
in 1886 he was given a banquet
at which he made his last lecture to
his students. He entitled it Para
disc Lost" The paradise lost was
not Milon's. he said, but yours and
mine and that of all who find their
time at college has run out"
Wrote After Retirement.
That was typical Of Mr.. Leacock
when he spoke on topics he consid-
cred serious.
Two years later in an address he
said: Now that am on the shelf
I am going to remain on the shelf
I am going to be as high as a parsee
on tower. I shall reflect a hell Of
a lot, but I shall say nothing"
That was typical of Mr.. Leocock
when he spoke in jesting vein.
He did reflect in his retirement,
and much of his reflection was put
into print. He published "Humor
and Humanity" in 1887, Here Are
My Lectures" in the same year,
Canada, the Foundations of It's
Future" In 194l, MY Remarkable
Iuncle" inai942 and Montreal, Sea-
