PC DST WA R GERMANY successful future for all of us is the world's hope. We are all keenly on the lookout for opportunities that the peace should bring us. Our great worry is how to subdue the Germans, and to make their people revert to Christian and civilized ideas. Dr. Goebells said : It is not the :Xmerican Secretary of Finance nor the Under- Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Great Britain that will decide the law by which the German people will live and breathe g we will not tolerate that they will make C1 potato Held out of the Reich or a hell out of our country . But they ruined the poor peasants' potato fields in occupied countries, and ate the potatoes themselves without thinking of all the starving people. YYhat about the torture and hell they made for our military and civilian prisoners of war, including women and children F liven though they are now getting a little tasteoftheirown medicine, we will never stoop to using torture andother mean actions as they have done in the occupied countries. After the war is over there will be much guerilla fighting in Germany by the men who, when boys of nine or ten years of age, were taught that Hitler was infallible, that the Germans were on the just side of the war, and other similar fanatical ideas. The Allies will have to superintend the rebuilding of houses, factories and churches, but above all, special tutors and professors should re-educate the children who have been fanatically taught. lt is hard to believe that the Germans, who were so cultured and produced wonder- ful mcn such as the musicians Schubert, Shumann, Wagner and Beethoven, the poet Got-theg Koch, who discovered the tubercle and cholera bacillus, and Roentgen who in- vented X-rays, could stoop to low mean warfare, and make slaves of free people.

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1944-1945 at the end of the 'Ind period. Gray scored his fourth goal of the game in an even last period. Gray again stood out, but the rest of the team saw to it that he had a rather easier time than in the first match. Both forward lines went well with Bovey and Pollard showing the best form. Mar. Sth. LBYDER I-I v. Roslyn School at the Coliseum. - Won 8-l. Scorers for S. H. S. were Gray I-ll, Bartholomew 123, Pollard and Currie l each. In the absence of Bovey, Bartholomew was moved up to centre and played a very good game. Gray was used sparingly in order not to spoil the interest in the match. Currie showed to good advantage in his first appearance on the team. The following matches were unfortunately cancelled owing to the weather:- March lst LTNDER I2 v. L. C. C. 3rd I5 V. B. C. S.

FOR THE SCHOOL YF.-XR 1944-1945 ROAST TURKEY I-IENEVER I see a FULISI turkey, it makes me think of pleasant things. I always associate it with Christmas. It reminds me of the delightful smell which issues forth when it is brought in, steaming hot. I would not like to be the carver, for I would be greatly tempted to give myself the first and largest portion. The taste is even better than the smell, and with cranberry sauce it is superb. Sometimes I wonder about the turkey's life and I like to make up stories about it. It might have lived on a farm on the St. Lawrence River. One day, perhaps, a horse noticed that this large fowl did nothing and got well fed and he began to get very jealous. But soon Christmas time came around and he had to take a huge load to the station. In the load was the turkey, but he was dead. The horse had learned a lesson l The crate containing the turkey was put in the freight car of the only train that passed the little station. In the same car was a dog, who, smelling some meat, succeeded in chewing to pieces the string which was tied round the crate, much to the annoyance of the man who unloaded the freight. Soon the turkey was hung up in a butcher's shop and a lucky customer bought it. Then it was roasted and put on a plate. But as I reach this point I remember that this is only a story, and as I know the present I have to look to the future. Perhaps the farmer will imagine a headless, featherless turkey chasing him around the farm. Perhaps the horse will dream that he is a turkey about to be killed, and perhaps the butcher will dream that all the turkeys he ever sold have suddenly fallen on top of him and he is about to be smothered! Stories of roasting always bring to mind Iilia's magnificent essay on Roast Pig. ' If the reader wants a treat he might read this instead of my attempt I - T. P., Form 3.
