used for the wrong job. and never
properly sharpened. To sharpen par.
ing knives put sharpening stone on
a fiat surface, pour on few drops OF

holding the knife in your right hand,
with your left forefinger bearing

SHAVE the stone first toward you,
then away from you. The knife is
horizontal to the stone throughout
the sharpening process.

Or perhaps - and this is the most

slightly disordered. Not enough to

enough to distress those who love

anyone who heard him.
General Cariappa was one of the

been in the army ever since and
was the first Indian officer to COM

lieutenant colonel led his men
through the bitter days Of the Bur-

adiers. and also member of the
army reorganization committee. It
was in the latter capacity that he
has just completed a tour Of inspec.

Woolwich and Sandhurst, then the
Canadian school at Kingston, and
finally West Point and some of
our specialist schools. He hopes to
take acceptable features of all these
schools and combine them in the
