If it were not for air pressure within our bodies the air outside would blow us away. . .-i. Their Bit fllontinued from page 191 what could this mean? Probably right around this vicinity, thought Diane. But how could a German plane get across the border of Canada without being seen by our observation posts? All this time Eric was roaming around still managing to protect him- self from being frost-bitten. The storm had abated somewhat and the sun was even trying to peep from the dark clouds only to be smothered by others. Eric's thoughts were of home and es- pecially of the wife who managed the household affairs so eiiiciently and who loved him as no one else. i Suddenly, something caught his ear, something strange indeed. He opened his cap to grasp the sound. Nearer it came and still nearer. First, he thought it might be the humming of a windmill, but, although the visibility was limited to about three hundred yards, it was- what shocked him-an aeroplane. It was coming down, preparing to land. Why would an aeroplane land in the middle of a snow-white wilderness? It did land, however, about one hundred yards ahead of him. What was on its rudder? On observing, more closely, he saw to his horror that it was a swas- tika. What was he to do next? At length he decided that he would sneak up to the plane and try to find out how many occupants it held. There at the cockpit sat a scowling Nazi and behind him an equally formidable-looking character. The latter, however, seemed to be ill because he was leaning over and had a very pale countenance. Quick as a dart, Eric threw the door open and after a slight struggle knocked the pilot senseless. He did not have to worry about the co-pilot as the latter was too weak to move. Eric explored around the plane but could not discover whence it had come, but one glance at the gas- meter told him why it had landed. The radio was still broadcasting and now the same announcement that Diane had heard, came over. He quickly re- ported to CBCX', over the aerogram, and, after giving his position by means of the scientific instruments on board, he received a message that two flying fortresses were coming to investigate. Indeed he did not have long to wait, for within twenty minutes he could hear the steady drone of the engines, but this time--Canadian. Soon he was at home, and in the evening as they were sitting by the fire- side, they again listened to a newscast. Naturally, this 'great event of the cap- ture of a German plane within the bor- ders of Canada was soon flashed all over the world. Eric was duly awarded the George Medal for his deed. That night he told his wife that he had made a great decision, he was going to join the R.C.A.F. He knew that l1is wife would have many hardships, struggles, and sacrifices ahead of her, but he reminded her that peace is worth it all. Diane understood, and bravely she determined to grimly fight it out as so many other Canadians have to do. -ELMER SAUDI-:R, XII
