Jealousy Among
Quins
There is trouble in the Dianne household at Callander, Ontario. Two of the Quins are jealous of their other throo sisters, and all because Collie, Marle and Emile have lost some of their first teeth.
Yvonne And
Annette, United Press, are envious of their sister achievement. I fact, they havo tried every means within their power to extract some of their own teeth, so far without result.

teeth of the Quins will be mounted and kept as ́a contri- bution to medical history.'

LONDON-Complacency appears to be deemed SHOWN R.A.F. Raid Hero
Britain's greatest danger at the present stage of the war, judging from the extent to which stress on the seriousness of the task of defeating Germany is suddenly being redoubled here.
The development can hardly be dissociated from the secret session of Parliament when war supplies were discussed and the Government faced a barrage of questions on the effectiveness of the war effort.
The vehemence with which radio listeners are urged to face the fact, "we are fighting for our lives and for our freedom" struck an usually highpitched note compared with normal calm tone of British radiocasts.
un- the
Maj. Gen. Sir Ernest Swinton in his weekly review of the war situation was the BBC spokes- man, but a similar warning line has been taken by Mr. Anthony Eden and Sir Arthur Salter in
speech since Parliament's sessions and by newspaper writers, notably Mr. Vernon Bartlett, M.P., and Mr. G. Ward Price, expert on Germany.
Sub. Victims
The Secretary of the Admiralty regrets to announce that the following officers and ratings who formed the ships' companies of H.M. Submarines Seahorse, Undine, and Starfish are missing.
The German wireless has an- nounced that part of the crews of the Undine and Starfish have been rescued, but their names are not yet available.

"If we are to beat Germany," Sir Ernest said, "we have got to take things more seriously than we are doing. We have got to put our house in order. We have got to pre- vent overlapping in our effort und the waste of money. We have lo sheer through red tape and get a move on. May we do it before it is too late. The red light is at danger and repeat with all the seriousness of which I am capable the words I spoke 15 minutes ago. We are fight- ing for our lives and, for our free- dom. I add, once we realize that, we are bound to win."
The appeal for no belittling of the war task and no underrating of the Nazi war machine was made by Mr. Eden al literary lunch organized by Foyle's Book Shop, presided over by Viscount Halifax and attended by many prominent persons among the 1,200 guests.
This curious phenomenon was photographed by a reader of the "Telegraph" at last week's big fire in the Shamshulpo aren. The shadow, of the onlooker is plainly visible on tho smoke of the fire.

Taking as his text "Towards Lasting Fence," Mr. Eden based hopes on three objectives: First, nothing
should distract the British from win- ning
the war; second, Anglo-French co-operation should be still further extended during the war and shouir be fully maintained afterward; third, co-operation between members of the British Commonwealth should be brought closer and closer.

Further support for the view that the British people are taking the wor loo complacently comes from Mr. Price, who, writing in the Dally Mall contends that too much money and energy are being wasted in the crowded theatres, restaurants,
and night clubs of London and the chief provincial cities. Further he alleges wasteful bureaucratic methods, and stack enforcement of such measures as gasolene restriction, under which big cars currying one person are seen beading to the city dilly.
