What did
Saturday,
the Traveller say- arriving at an
obvious conclusion?
"Good old JOHNNIE WALKER
-there's a whisky for you"
"Good old Johnnie Walker "linot only an enthusiastic tribute; it is also an accurate description of this famous whisky. "Good" is something of an under- statement considering that Johnnie Walker is blended from all the finest whiskies of Scotland; "old" recalle the many years these whiskies matured in the wood before blending.

Little Island's War Sacrifices
20 Times Greater Than Rest Of Britain
STORNOWAY (Isle of
Lewis), Dec. 18. So far in the war this small island has lost twenty- times as many men as the rest of the country, în pro- portion to its population.
Yet the boys are so keen to fight that most of those between the ages of twenty and twenty- three joined the Navy before they could be conscripted,
In the village of Barvas only one young man remained to be called up in the first age group-and he was a cripple.

Last week three more men from this island of North-east Scotland were drowned on netive service.
Donald Mac-
kenzie, of Swor- dale village, has Jost his two sons within a month.
Roderick Mac- kenzie, of the same village, lost his father in the Inst war, and when he stepped ashore a few days адо he learned that his only brother, Malcolm, is missing,
Roderick at Anco reported for nctive sor- vice.
Murdo Nicholson was lost in the Rawalpindi and his cousin Alexan- der Crichton has just been blown up in a minesweeper. Both came from the village of Bayble, and each has two brothers on active service,
Already 1,880 men of Lewis- volunteers and reservists-are pery- ing-with the Royal Navy. The total population is only 25,000.
So many men went into the Navy when war broke out that the women on many crafts have had to get in the harvest on their own.
The women. too, are working at the Harris tweed looms where the men left off.
And, despite its losses in the last war and in this, the island of Lewis has not a single consetentious objec- tor.
