Say of Prayr and jXdic at ion.

At the request of His.Majesty the King last Sunday was oh served in the 'Churches ot* Stanley as a day of pray r. The following was the address delivered "by Mr.R. K. Kannaford (Lay Reader) at the morning service in Christ Church Cathedral*

'"Like as :h-■ hart desireth the water-brooks so longeth my soul after thee, 0 God". Psalrn M-2. Verse -1»

he, who have come'here this morning, to this special service, must feel there is a spirit of earnestness abroad, and that this hour ot? prayer and dedication gives us the opportunity of stating our National and personal needs to our Heavenly Father.

•vhe past five years have been an uphill road and have caus-d strain to many. In response to cur dedication', God gives up "His refreshing grace", and if we are willing to serve the <cause of Truth and might He will certainly sustain us.

The continuation of our uphill journey towards Victory demands our accepting the spiritual resources which God offers us. After all, Christianity provides us with the qualities for true happiness, and surely that•is our ultimate goal?

There is no other way.toward such a goal, although many people may think so, therefore let us learn to Value more and more, the Livine Gift of the teaching of Jesus, the Church, and Grace, -for these’ three are one.

His Majesty the King has invited us to this service of 3?r'ayer and Dedication. Let us as individuals truly dedicate ourselves to God---- now, remembering that a

fDEATHS..Nation-, of individuals dedicated to God is .well fitted

to take a leading place in the affairs of the World. Norman Nevill McAskill.Among those present at the Cathedral service v;ere

Various new. types of Christmas Cards are now on sale in Stanley, so if you intend to send any overseas this year - order now.

We have received a kindly worded letter of appreciation of the Weekly News from Mr P.Smale- a former Chief Stoker on E^M.S.Lxeter. Mr Smale had visited the Colony on that ship. He expresses his sympathy‘-'wi ch us in zhe loss of our Town Hall by fire.

The. Chief Stoker recalls th' hospitality of the Colony with gratitude. He has been in hospital with multiple iniurios since the 10th of January and in July was invalided out of the service.

We wish Mr Smale a speed:*- recovery from his injuries and all best wishes on his return to Civilian life.

By 11 The Londoner".

Until tor- middle of .July of this year the:: >:■ have been few pieces c.f historic:! interest destroyed or damaged in London by the German firing bombs; one is Guards1 Chapel at Wellington Barracks which was hit on a Sunday morning when a service v;as being held.The Chapel was virtualljr destroyed and many distin­guished officers of the Brigade of Guards, other members c.f the Forces and civilians were-either killed or wounded.

Thus passes a famous building’ which, although it had no great antiquity, had succeeded in gathering within itself a great deal of history, for within its walls there were, many symbols of the achievements of the farfertfs British regiments of Guards.

When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1337 the Guardsf Chapel, or the P-oyal military Chapel, to give it its official’ namewas- in- course of erection. The Queen, who had a particular, affection for her Guardsme.i, took s great interest in the building, and when. it was finally completed in 1333, -she presented a gift cf communion place, reserv­ing a scat for herself in the centre or the west gallery. * ...

It is with regret that I report that shooting is not much of a recreation here, as game is not too plentiful, in the near vicinity, owing, I an told, to the ravages of the "beak hunter381 o Cne penny per "beak is p?ir for the destruction of geese, three of which, It is said, will'consume as much grass as one sheep.

Outdoor games such as football, etc, which may appeal to 3 tar ley people am-, not popular owing to the small number of- men avail able-although one stalwart never misses a morning on the “golf links".

Social occasions centre around dancing, and I feel that more of these evenings could be held,than are at present.

• Recently two rights dancing in '-id of the Red Gross proved to be a great success. The latter plus a Mock Auction realised over p/\ 65,

I must mgnt-lon the generous w-y in which the Gamp people contribute ' to this cause - considering the average wage, it is astoundin '. '

Extract from a letter to the Times,

FTIP PLY UPUPUAY.Hr* Norman Coates.

In the House of Commons on June 29th hr Burgin said he had recently travelled on the American'continent and kmw v/het it meant ,!to live in a country controlled by military dictatorship, where th- re is complete and absolute censorship ov<r th- spoken and the written word® Almost all. t.h< republics of Latin America are complete instances of Nasi or Fascist control".

In* fairness to .Uruguay I would lihe it to go on record that, whatever the. leanings of other countries would appear to he, this does not apply? in the slight­est degree, to that country. Th .re is no c-nsership in Uruguayo Education,religion, and tin rights of decent citizens are respected as they are in very few

countrit* s to-day-.Although,’Uruguay is the smallest country in Couth

America, sh- has never hesitated to range herself on the side of. Great Britain, This was evident in the fast war,, when sh- came in as oho if tile first to help us, and more so during, this war, when,in spite of Nazi thrratsi-snd. things look- d very black in dee d- sho practically opened h( r 'ports to mu* Urvy.

Off • c.GS-This morning I inspected the now Public Works

^ Department building opposite the Police Cottages in Ross Road. The Department has just recently moved into its new home, after having hac to make the best of very temporary quarters, * since the loss of their offices in, the Town Hall fire last April.

The building is all on ground. level, on entering by the front door, straight ahead lies the Executive Engineer’s Office, to the East is th- main. Office, beyond it, the Foreman’s Office.At the extreme end of th-- building is a concrete block stoke-hold with a boiler which heats the- whole building through a system of pipes.

On the West side is accomodation for materials, drawings etc and cloak room.

I learned as I .went around* that almost everything I saw vras to the credit of local workmanship and skill, the tables for instance were locally made, the paving tiles at the main entrance in a tasteful pink

coloured cement were made in*town.One of the now features is notice board accomodat­

ion in the South side window? of the main Office.This is illuminated at night, and Government, Information, and suc'h like notices will here,th* s 'Greet.

I congratulate all who have helped to build this set of Offices, and happy period, of P.V/.D.

TKS BRITISH WOOL TEXTILE INDUSTRY*

Ancient records, prove -that British wool textiles ' were important frdm: earliest times. The sheep v.*as a

domestic .animal in. Britain b- -fore thi Roman occupation* The Romans established wool factories, and the quality of British wool products soon-acquired a great reputation on tie Continent of Bur ope. ‘From then until tk \ end of the 13th century, wool manufactures for home and export markets' were the most important in the country, and are still a source of great wealth.

In this article, Kr.a*Johnson, of thu Department of Textiles, Leeds University, describes, the processes of wool production and manufacture, developed in Britain, which provide the world with the finest wool cloths obtainable.

TM£/

For c-nturies Britain’s pasture lands h~ve supported countless flocks of sha-p which, in turn, have furnish­ed the people of Britain with mutton for food and wool for clothing. The Voluo of wool .was recognised • very early in' history, although In those early clays its full advantages such as strength, elasticity, ability to absorb moisture • nd resistance to burning, were little appreciated.

Thu supply ox' wool was more than sufficient. to meet the needs., cf 'the pi ople of Britain, while its quality was so superior* to that of other countries that it

•weaver were evident in the cloths they made.. After a . period of development, it was cloth that became the major export.

Cloth, -however, was difficult to produce in suffic­iently 1-rge qunatiti.es owing to the. inability of the domestic spinner to supply the weaver with‘sufficient

yarn. Hand spinning was then, still a primitive craft, employing few mechanical aids and relying upon a. technique originated before, the dawn of recorded history*'

All this whs chahged however', when a poor Lancashire" spinner invented;. n spinning machine which revolution-' ised the woollen industry. The Britis wool textile

0abbages that were transplanted in place during the autumn have, suffered much as a result of the severe winter. A dressing of Nitrate of Socle, applied to the soil about the plants now will soon promoce growth and the development of a rich green colour. Applications should he made at the rate of two ounces to the square yard,, and care should be exercised that the fertilizer does not come into contact with the foliage. A further application should be made about a month later, immediately following applications, the soil should bf hoed oyer. The best time to apply Nitrate is when rain is imminent.

In the event of Nitrate in some form, not being obtainable in sufficient quantities, Soot may be used to advantage. As a fertilizer, soot is a source of nitrogen in the form of sulphate of ammonia, but it would be well to remember that soot must be dry and not too fresh* Applications should be made to the soil at the rate of four ounces to the. square yard, but in this cose, hoeing in is not essential because if left on the soil surface it

On Friday the 1 5th September the members of the Old Pupils Association of the Government School, ; Stanley, were fortunate in having Captain ilcCubbing to address them. The subject of the lecture was "Why is Japan at War?" Although as -the Captain remarked at the opening of the talk, wo should probably not find the complete answer to that.,quest ion until japan had suff red complete defeat., what we learned during the forty five minute address concerning Japan and the Japanese proved most useful in gaining a true picture of far fastern Events. The lecturer spoke of the; belief of all Japanese that their Emperor is a direct descendant from the-gods, mentioning the

relationship of Empi.-ror to the Army, the Navy, and to the people.

Captain ficCubbi-ngJs talk was greatly appreciated by all present.

This week the Association hold a dance in the Gymnasium on Friday night.ZXZX2XEXZXZX xsxzxzxzxzxzxsxzxzxzxzxzxsxzxzxzxzxsxz

trade immediately expanded, th-. quantity of the cloth improved, and Britis'- woollen cloths were exported to almost evury country of the world.Thai invention also l^icL the foundation of r British ti.-xtilr m^chin.Ty industry which has supplied spinning machines of th. highest grade to l-v< ry country in theworld.

This esrly load of the British textile machinist enabled him to specialise on the production of yarn from evv_ry typv of -wool, and on his ingeniously c instructed inames are spun the. soft,white wools of nustralia and 'Africa, th crisp, recipient fibres of few Sen lane and Canada, and cv n she coarser types imported from India.

fli-* principles of weaving, origins cod. countless years age, arc still incorporated in the modem powc r loom, Pony generations of British loom builders have devoted their lives to improving this important process and have evolved a machine which, within a shock-absorb­ing,. long-lived frame, incorporates mechanisms s.nsit- ivu enough to manipulate into cloth the finest woollen thr-c r ds «*

Fr^rn this infinite v-ri ty of yarns, the designer of fabrics makes, a selection which he uses as a palette in the creation of styles which have made British fabrics world-famous. His function is to co-ordinate the- shill of -spinner, weaver, dyer and finisher., so that the-resultant fabric justifies its reputation of being of the finest quality in the world.

The re*?; orchis of the colo' r chemist and the expc-ririess fy th- dyer have brought about revolutionary

in the colour and durability of effects produc­ed on th • wo’ren fabric, and have in addition, made great’economies in processing. A similiar development has.taken place in cloth finishing, and nowadays British finishes have obtained world-wide recognition.

Sore*'HT£*D€*r ofFalkland for two and a half years, worked in the Government School in Stanley; there ^ill however probably he other speakers also from time to time, for various lessons. For these wireless lessons the children in the camp will he grouped into classes accordingly to th ir age and the stage they have reached in" their work, and a clefinite^time-tahle of lessons, the sane wach week, will he followed*

This scheme will begin on :.ronch*y, October 2nd* The lessons will he held for an hour each afternoon, from Monday to Friday. They will begin each afterno n at a quarter past''two, just after the F.B*C. news that begins at two o1 clock (that is, two o'clock and a quarter padt two by sun time, without any alteration being made for summer time). To give listeners -tinie to tune in to Stanley, the lessons will be introduced by the second side of th record always used by the Stanley Broadenst-

- ing Station to introduce its programmes* Immediately after this record, the work for ■each class for the afternoon will be announced, and then the lessons will begin. Tht wave-length used will be the ordinary Stanley wave-1eng th, 83 metres.

Such is an outline of.the scheme as at present planned; it is still very much in*the experimental stage, and is likely to be altered a good deal from time to time, as experience is gained. The scheme will be faced with many difficulties. With the Jimited means available in so small a place, it will not be easy to make the lessens as varied and as interesting as they should be; nor will it be easy for the children to listen attentively throughout even short lessons, when they cannot sea their teacher but can only hear him.Not all children in the camp will be able to hear the lessons; some families have wireless sets on which Stan­ley can seldom or never be heard well; some families have no wireless sets at all* Sometimes bad wither conditions will prevent the lessons from bring heard on even the best wireless sets. For nil these difficult­ies, and many others, a solution will have to bo sought before any -scheme of wireless lessons can be ri complete success. It may for instance be possible to send ~

IN ThE CPvfaP

Listeners to the Stanley Broadcasting Station last Sunday heard details of a scheme that is going to be tried out shortly by the Education Department, with the co-operation and help of the Electrical and Tele­graph Department, for giving regular educational broadcasts to the children in the camp. In recent years, wireless broadcasts have played an increasingly important part in educational work in -11 parts of the world; and although conditions here are v.; ry different from those in most countries which have well-developed systems of school broadcasts, it is hoped that wireless lessons may be of some use here in the work of camp education.At pres ht, c°rnp education suffers from a number of

handicaps, among which are* the* length of time that passes between the travelling teachers1 visits, and the fact that the teachers have neith. r the equipment nor the time, in their short stays at each house, to deal thoroughly with all the normal school subjects.It is to counteract these handicaps, as far as it is possible, that the scheme of wireless lessons has been planned. The lessons will cover all the branches of school work that can be handled satisfactorily in wireless broadcasts, so that besides work in English and-arithmetic,there will be lessens or talks on a wide range of subjects, such as history, geography, nature study and general science. In history and" geography -the Falkland Islands will be studied as well ' as other parts of the world. There will be provision for undenominational religious teaching, and each day's programme will include a go d deal of music. Close liaison will be maintained with the travelling teachers, and, if*possible, with the parents, so that the wireless broadcasts can not only give th: children extra lessons but also help them with the homework set by the travelling teachers. Homework will also be" set in

* connection with the wireless lessons themselves^ The main speaker for the wireless lessens will br Mr.R.Rice, who worked as a travelling teacher on the Last to

I; 1 0y;«r-RESULTS. 23 Sept- SCOTS 2 v R.FA7Y 15After defeating the Defence Fore-. Jheavily on the previous Sunday,’the Navy 1 met last season’s champions (Scots2) on*Saturday last and were expected to give a good account of themselves. After a long period of even play, Scots 2 were awarded a goal for hands on the goal line. This was not p popular decision. Shortly afterwords Aeary, 0:1 the right wing, broke away on his own and put the Champions two. up „ .with a hard, low drive which had the Navy goalkeeper beaten all the way. Nr.vy reduced the lead with a goal scored from their right wing and continued to-press hard. Richards, on the left, made r. spectacular. run beating three opponents, and was unlucky to see.the ball rebound from the Scots’ crossbar from a shot that deserved a point. The result was put beyond .doubt by a third goal from the Champions’ centre forward at close range.

2h Sept.*Corpo had strengthened their tear.: -this season by forming an eleven from their .first- and second teams.In a drizzle from the u.W. for the greater part cT the game, with both sides going all out, Scots 1 secured both points by scoring two goals to the Corps’ one. But

... for 'some spectacular saves /py Kyle,. the winners’•" goalkeeper, the result might have been reversed,

Weakly TTews Office,' If Dahlias hnve not been repotted, this should be carried out without delay. Generally, the tubers are packed closely together in a box of light soil anu the plants are reproduced from cuttings which is not a difficult task and cuttings can b However, the practice vin this country is to retain, and grow the old tubers year after ye, though the plants as a result may not always b so robust and free flowering ns th. former .methed.

When repotting, th« old tubers should be turned out of their pots md th- old soil be carefully removed; large tubers should, be divided bo for* repotting* How single tubers will not survive unless the pressure of and ’ eye! is assured.. All ’ryes* from which growth can start, are clustered at the crown of the old stem. If there., is any doubt about this, simply cut vertically through the old stem, dividing it inio two or three sections- The sections required rwy then bo potted up into their final pots, the; most suitable size being, seven to eight inches in diameter,

The crown of the plant should bt. iust below the soil surface when potting is complete. It is suffic­

ient to press the soil home with the fingers because Dahlias are among thos< plants which require light potting and therefore a light open soil which should be well supplied with manure.

No water should be applied to the soil until the plants have started into growth when they may receive a thorough soaking; from then onwards, water as required.

rThe British V/ool Textile Industry. (continued)

.By Am Johnson, .M.3c

So far, attention has .been directed to proc<. sses and products rnther than to' operatives,, but the importance

of th•- latter*'must not be overlooked; -T-he-^ handle e raw material which is very easily affected during growth, and each batch of wool has peculiarities apparent only to the expert’. Highly developed faculties enable the wool-sorter unerringly to select areas*of a fleece in which the- fibres differ by only a few thousandths of. an inch in. diameter from those in neighbouring areas*, and, in a similar way, the spinner can assess the'maximum strain that a wool yarn can bear without breaking.

The spinner and weaver handle th most delicate threads with rapid dexterity, and the dyer and. finish­er readily perceive differences in colour so slight as to be incomprehensible to the- layman*. The reputation of a product rarely "becomes world wide in one' generat­ion ; thus such renowned fabrics as Scottish Tweeds, West of. hhglahd Woollens, and Huddersfield Suitings reflect th attention to detail pf successive generations of British textile craftsmen*

The British wool trade ib' alive to the importance of fundamental research on the growth and structure-' of the wool fibre, the Dominion’s, Colonies and tlfc mother country contributing great suns annually for this purpose. Many far-reaching discoveries have been made by this original British resjar.ch*, for example-/ wool can. now be .ir-de unshrinkable without damaging, its

* other desirable properties, thereby making a highly suitable material for' Iciittt d und> rwear, and, on 'other lines, the relationship'of -wocl* clothing to health has bet-n definitely and.fir.ml3r established.

Plans for p^st-wri? development are being Worked out by th. trade:, and many firms are arranging, for the • rebuilding of th-.ir factories and their .re-organization on modern lines, so that, by reducing costs,"wool consumption can be even mor,, widely spread* '

3DITORIAL.

Two facts seem to-call for comment in this week’ s issue,'in the activities of the Community* The first is the response to the Plying Bomb Appeal. We all appreciate our homes, this is as true of our Ocloiiy as an.whe?r. and tht knowledge in our minds that nailer of our fellow beings in the south of. England anc in the great city of London have recently had thuir homes devasted by the Flying Bombs, with the attendant injuries and sufferings draws sympathy from all. The practical nature of a people's sympathy cannot be

better -measured, as fa - as we are concerned, than in the splendid response, to-the flying Bomb Appeal.

The second fact is the inauguration of the Educational Broadcasts, from Stanley to. the Gamp. We congratulate those responsi le for th scheme and ©all for patience, understanding, and full co-operation on the. part of all parents/of .children in th Camp*Go out of your way to encourage your children to make ‘full use oi this broadcast programme-by doing so yon will be. helping to give them something that is worth a - lot, -and which, is uesily.carried about- a sound education.

Thc editor of the -Weekly News lv*s been given n considerable number of used books. He has decided to try and use these to provide reading for the Camp.They are of fairly recent publication.

He herpes to send, thorn out to the various settlements, the mainland of the bast and the West, and. also to

the Islands. The.bc.s.t way to make .sure that the books are circulated as freely as possible, is for each settlement to provide a vol-nteer to open tho library at certain convenient times, and give out • th. books/ taking down name and borrower and putting tho number of boons he has taken h'ow the stock against his name#Ro borrower will be able to get any now books unless he has returned the old ones. People, living in the Settlements will only be able to borrow' one book at a time, but people in the outhouses will be able to borrow

Dancing commenced at 8.30. p.m. and continued until ■midnight . At that hour everybody sat down tc sample the good things'provided by the ladies of Douglas Station. After supper when everyone was in good humour, the able local auctionee'r-hr George Short, did good business, and. the money "rolled in". The * dancing continued until 3.30. a. m. Everyone went home than, to have a rest, and await the next days, event’s*

On the Saturday afternoon, there was a darts tournament, a whist drive, and a wheel of fortune.

■ Tea was served in the course of the afternoon. Dancing commenced at .8.30. p.m. as on the previous night, and continued until midnight, when all again tested the good things providec:/ Pollowi-ng thi3 ,v/as another auction, and the drawing of the raffles.

v< ry favourably impressed with what I had s^en .and with what I had learned .. f its programme and its progress. I must confess that wh. n I first heard that a unit was to be fornr c in the Falklands I was a little doubtful, for here, as in most small places, such organisations tend to start well, to stagger on for a week or two and then to collapse. The Stanley Boys1 Brigade, after several months, is still marching and, from what I saw on my visit, marching jolly well.

Much of the sustained enthusiasm is, I think* due to the variety of interests that th - boys are offered-. Th Brigade caters for most young men’s needs a glance at its weekly programme will shew. On Tuesdays there is a P.T., class in the Drill Hall: on Fridays .and ambul°nce class is held in the Tabernacle schorl- room, ahd a drill parade is held later in the Drill Hall: on Saturday the boys run a Blub from 6.3a. .until

and on Sunday there is - Bible- Class. The aim of Brigade is the age-old one of "n healthy mind in

a heklthy -body!i- an indeal slogan for the building of future citizens - and th- programme seems to keep that idea firmly fixed in front of it.. fh-r are now 61 boys on tk- roll, and the nightly attendance av rage exceeds 9Q;i. mJ.though at present

of the instruction is carried on by adults, - the. ultimate idea is to place much of the control of the brigade’s activities in the hands of the boys .-themselves* For example, th* poplar Saturday club evenings 'are run entirely by tlv boys, with the seniors present as guests onlyg

Uniforms arc expected'to arrive at the end of the and if the drill that I watched keeps up its

Now th ' inexperi* need often kill th- plants immediately after transpl niing by oyer-vat-, ring*. A sign of this, is that tn stem about the base of zhr ■plaiV-3 becomes black nod-and withered* l/hat 'induces on to supply water? Possibly* because the plant-flags •excessively during-bright sunshine *• This characteristic is not generally a sign, thae water is required,’ at least, not in a newly planted plant, but for shade.

Unless-the soil is parched, no water should be •supplied for some considerable tine, depending upon

- how-quickly the plants become established, but.it has been known for a plant to go tkree-wedks without water being; required.

Shade mus~c be provided after transplanting during bright periods until signs of flag, ing are past, plants may receive light over—head sprayings with tepid water until established*

It must be renerabered however, that when the Tomato is firmly established and growing fri/.vj water will be required in copious quantities.

Succession^! cropping is not practised to the extant it might be in this country* On-.,, fat too often observes quantities of Cabbages, Lov;uces and Hadishes wasting, simply because th supply is grat'.r than the d. in and. This waste may be minimized by making successioual. sowings in sufficient quantities to meet the d'mends of a household over a period.

•As guide to successions! sewings or plantings,.a sufficient number of cabbage should-now bo planted out-theso of course, have either stood th. winter .'in sheltered open borders, cr in cold frames, be in use from late Dec _hb«.r,

The attention of th- public is invited to the following points:

(1)’Nurses and Sisters arc not permitted to diagnose and prescribe. This is a principle of Medical ethics of very long standing. Mutual embarrassment will be avoided if those who require medical advifco will'be good enough to bear thie in mind.

(§) Only’ those remedies which are prescribe d by the att nding doctor are dispensed at the Hospital.Those who. wish to proscribe for their own ailments muse purchase their medicaments through the ordinary trade channels.

(3) Persons who require some remedy ever a prolonged period, even though it has been prescribed by the attending physician, are normally required to meet their needs by private arrangement.

(4) Persons’entitled to free medical attendance are reminded that medical and surgical supplies,which are not specifically prescribed by the Medical- Officer but are desired for the stocking of the family medicine chest, must be bought through normal trade channels.' ~

I.feature, hut alioviu. for this adnitedly great difficulty I still think more could ho clone by the 3.3.C. if only imagination and energy was forthcoming. Suppose a feature-program :o- mas compiled for the South Atlantic Islands - . -T-klunds, South Georgia Tristan da Cunha, Ascension, etc and perhaps British luiana, introducing local interest. Ter? 'Toll v-hy not a T.B.0.Correspondent T-i each place to cable nev/sy items -.flick. a professional radio writer could put together tc nuke a contrasting appeal. South Georgian sue-: and blizzard could contrast vita Ascension heat *70.-0; the progress of the penguin laying season wink the crocidile breeding season of Omrana or the heu Cross effort of one place v/ith the .far lord buying record of another.

Then, returnlr Service folk could he asked to report to the D.h.0. for interview and natives invited aloiv to si-oal:. Oh ye: , a little push an:, go could

Falkland Island Girl In Gymkhana

(Extract t*<$xL a letter w*i*.ten- by W?*zl Cora Nawing)

"Three: other girls and'Ihhad 6 horses between us and two buggy traps* I rode them all at intervals — three of them in the Show ring0 Y-Thile we weren’t in the ring we rode round the place changing horses all the time and getting used to their step*

There were over 50 entries in the class when I rode "Dash"* First we had to walk single file round the ring with the fudges in the centre then trot, canter and finally gallop full pelt* Then the best horses were chosen and had to line up before the judges* My one was picked out with 8 ethers - the. remainder were dismissed* These 9 best horses were examined closely and each in turn made to trot and canter around the. " ring alone* I don’t know how I looked trying to manage with a double rein and a slippery little English saddle and sitting .up straight carrying a switch and being told to gallop figure eights in front of the judgeso However, I think I must have managed alright,I didn’t cone off anyway and the crowd clapped* The first, second and third horses were chosen and the others highly commended- I felt quite proud* The next one I entered was a little grey and later a black with a white face*

Neither of these did anything outstanding nor did the pony and trap*

After the horse show we had races and games -of all kinds. I rode in the Musical Chairs and Mounted Potato race and then in a race called "Bending"* Here

VTRAFALGAR DAY 1?44* :a line of poles was arranged and each horse had to

gallop full speed in and out to the other end, tnrn around and zig zag hack. The horse I rode in this was hot headed and caused some commotion - when galloping

•hack we1 rooted a pole clean out of the grouhd* He was . a ferocious little brute, he let out both heels and kicked a man in the back - luckily he wasn’t hurt11.

Contributed by Edith Stewart.

In the year 1805 on October 21st, a naval battle was fought off Cape Trafalgar between the British and the French and Spanish forces. The British were under

the command, of Lord Nelscn, the enemy under that of Villeneuve. The action resulted i.i a British victory.

Lord Nelson was born in 175o at Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk* He was the son of a clergyman* He was a delicate child, but always brave and filled with a high sense of duty. He entered the navy in 1770 at the age of twelve as a captain’s servant on his uncle’s ship, and served- in the West Indies and the Arctic Seas* He became a captain in 1779*

In 1787 Nelson married Frances Nisbet, a widow with one son. Nelson commanded the Agernemnon in the Mediterranean in 1793* He was largely responsible for the capture of Calvi in Corsica in 1794, where he lost his eye, and he took part in the seige of Toulon in 1795.After the Battle of St.Vincent in 1797 he was made

Rear-Admiral and knighted. In July 1797 he failed in an attack on Santa Cruz, his right arm was shattered and had to be amputated. In 1793 he was made Admiral of the Fleet, and in the Battle of the Nile, he

destroyed the French fleet, thus preventing Napoleon forming an Eastern Empire. In 1601 he bombarded Copenhagen capturing the whole Danish fleet.

In 1 804 Spain joined France and in 1 805 ' Villeneuve put to sea* On October 21st. Nelson met the enemy fleet off Trafalgar. He commanded the Victory, which lie selected when appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean in 1303.

Just before the battle started he hoisted his famous signal,

• "England expects every man to do his Duty".He was mortally wounded by a shot fired from the

mizzen-top of the French ship "Redoubtable"; ho was earried below by Hardy his flag-captain* Hardy told him the victory was won with fifteen enemy ships destroyed or captured. His.last words were, "Thank

NOTES.

There were plenty of Dances in town last .week-on Tuesday evening, the Old Pupils Association organised one, on the Thursday the Army wore the .sponsors, and on'Friday the Navy had a turn.

We’have a correction to make of a. misprint in the seventeenth line of the second pago of Mr.Lawrence Sedgwick’s letter about tho Fellowship of the Bellows, in last week’s paper-instead of the words-"Although we have not severed our connection with the Fellowship" it should have read— "although we have now severed our connection with the Fellowship"* Copies of the paper sent to the Camp from our Office were corrected, through someone kindly drawing our attention to the error*

• 7 The School Roll is now 239 the highest on Record in the history of the School.

B.B* C*During "London Bridge" last night — the B* 3. C. programme specially for the Islands of th South Atlantic and pur Colony,'we were interested to. hear that in the programme next’week,* request records from our Colony will be heard.

We :appreciate the fact that the B.3.C. have tried to cater for all tastes in the programme in which they have selected the records^ send your requests to Rev. W.F;*McWhan ('-Information Officer, Stanley).

the shorn sheep.■'The men usually take from four to five minutes

to • shear one sheep. ’The fleeces are classed, and. very often 7/001 buyers arc present at the farms to examine the clip. The wool is often carted away as it is bailed, down to the port.

When shearing is over, a draft of sheep is picked for the Frigbrif ico, where they-are kill led, and eventually-exported as frozen mutton. •

Sheep are “booked11 in lots of *1 000 or perhaps1 ,500 for the Freezers* and may be on the track from2 days to two months. The journey from the farms up in the Lakes, will take about sixty, days, but as long as they are driven slowly, and given plenty of-wateron the Journey, they will arrive in good condition.

After the fat sheep have been dispatched, there is usually - another dipping- agains t scab.

The beginning of winter is upon us, and the-, stores-six months at a time must be ordered and received. Fuel-is attended to. This consists of wood, and a sort of peat (green tufts) cut with a pick fixe and dried. This latter fuel is very.dusty,' and does hot burn-as well as Falkland peat.

Breeding occupies the- interest of the farming people, and man-'-of the small towns have their own shows. The grand champion in Santa Cruz won a prize of two thousand-dollars, in the pure bred sheep Class.

The 'Show is usually held in February, then follows a period of three days or so, of Lancing, and social activity. ' . .

After the Show, some go for a holiday to Eu-nos Aires, and others go back to their farms, and face ano ther winter.

A very interesting Talk was given to the local Joc’-f group, last Thursday Night,, when they met for • • their Meeting. The speaker was Ldg. S.eaman.W.Lewis.' The speaker introduced his subject, by recalling that the- famous Scientist Darwin said that Patagonia was a vast shingle bed, and that was a true descript­ion. The whole was- covered with a short j^ellowy grass, “small bushes (wind prevents the. growing of big pushes)-; and on first sight, seemed to be very.depressing.-

Once on 9. farm, and interested in the work, then the;"country.began to • have mere of an ;appeal to you.

The winter season was one of rest, when }/ou could attend to the requirements of your home, then came the thaw, and one was kept* to thy house, .-through mud caused, by the snow melting. This was. a period of a sort of flue, which -made you mentally lethargic; and seemed even to affect the animals.- .Shortly after this,

'came a period-short* in duration when the green grass flourished, and the call to real work began.

The first-dipping took place before the thaw in August, then after the thaw cane 1 smb-marking, when the men would often have. ..to Camp out, and take materials with them for temporary pens, supplies of

. .sheep nets etc*. During, these expeditions, as ado was served, the ooojv collecting wood, mace oeing paosed Pouund, -and after each mid-day meal a brief siesta,

• • In answer to questions the speaker cleared up quite a few points-there is no turkey buzzard problem in Patagonia, but they share ..with our Colony the problem of the geese 'eating the grass. People often travel to Buenos Aires, from the south, by car tc BaHida Blanca/ then by train. Road making is easy in Patagonia, compared to the Falklands, because shingle is bed surface of the land.

/Teal Inlet Partyys Adventure.

Contributed by ex-camp.er)Last Friday morning, was nice, and calm, so the

Teal Inlet motor boat left the settlement, towing a scow and ding?/ snaking- for High Island - a run of about an hour. On board the vessel were Mr and Mrs Barton and Mr and Mrs Beatty and nine of the the Station.

Before long rain and wind squalls got up, but the boat continued upon its journey. On reaching-High Island, the party managed to get 3 scowloaus.of horses off to the nearest point on the mainland where Mr . and Mrs Barton and fir and Mrs Beatty went ash.oro and walked home.

The men returned to the Island for the last lord of horses and by this time the .wind was rapidly rising to a violent pitch. The men were- unable- to ship anymore horses. Expecting to return the-same evening, the. m n took very little food with them, - and so were- on the Island with little prospect of getting off, and practically no food. But Falkland Islanders are versatile and capable people, so one; of the men managed t-. catch a gc-ese, which had to be cooked in salt water.

So great was the fury of the* gale,that the motor boat and the scow blew onto the bench/ and as a result the motor boat was badly knocked about.

In the meantime the men had managed to pull the-dingy up into the tussock. For. two nights all hands had to remain on the Island, living in c. small hut.

On the Sunday mining when tho storm had passed, the men were able to pull to the nearest point on the* mainland, and then walk home, and right glad they were to bo back.

Tnc Douglas Station motor boat has assisted the Te^l Inlet people, to get the other horses off.

-the Most Rev.William Temple- ' GARDENING ■ NOTES.% ' *

(continued from last wecJt)It was with regret that we learned last Thursday

from the B.BoC.News-of the death of Dr.William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, a.t the comparatively young age of 63 years.

Dr o Temple, was a memb'er of "His Majesty’s privy Council, and as a proof of his scholastic abilities, had in earlier years gained the coveted degree of Doctor of Literature.

William Temple was a man of many interests, a scholar, Minister of the Gospel, Social Reformer, and a fearless champion for truth.

..When the time for the final, potting up arrivesrtfor the"* Ger allium plants , a seven inch.pot will be ample.

During tht* hot, bright days of. summer, porches - become very* hot and as a result, the atmosphere is

dry ,’ more so , when no ventilation is "provided* These conditions have a detrimental effect- they become drawn and unhealthy, and the flowering .period is short. S. ...

:To some extent, this state may be eliminated by -opening'the porch door of ventilators .if provided* It should always be remembered,' that the free circulation of air is essential to the life of growing plants, and therefore, every opportunity should bo. taken to open

. ventilators, even though a door is used for th- purpose*

On bright days 'during the summer, the floor'of the porch or greenhouse should be damped down at least once a day, preferably at mid-day.

He was born in Exeter, his father being, a^ .un time Bishop of that city, later 3ishop of London, and Archbishop of Canterbury* " . . .•

• Thus father and son held the most responsible post in the Anglican’ Chuich-surely a most unique record*

Dr.Temple was educated at-Hughv and Balliol College, Oxford* from 1901 until 1904 he was a Fellow’and Lecturer of Queen’s College,, in the same University, in the subject of Fhilcsophy, leaving that post to become Headmaster of Repton School, where in after years he was always warmly received not onl2r as a guest, but also as a'former "head”.

During the first Great War years, Dr Temple was rector of ,3trJames’ Piccadilly, London* He;was BZToiixteii a. Cau.cn of Westminster later becoming ' . Bishop of Manchester.* From 1921 until 1929, he served in' this .'sphere, then went to York as Arch­bishop,- ana from there, on the resignation of the Are hoi shop of Canterbury^. Dr .Lang, he was called to be the leader of his church, in that high office.

It was in the early part of 1942 that I sat in a great audienqe in a.City Hall, in Scotland, listen­ing to the appealing foice of this man- a man who had won tile respect of all'classes and conditions of people-he spoke with the same earnestness from Cathedral and village Church pulpit, as to a working raen'-.s 0pen Air Meeting, outside the place where they worked* vis message could be summed up in a few words:

Lord Beavorbrook1s speech in the House of Lords at the beginning of this year in which he announced that plans already existed for at least one type of huge plane with a capacity for fifty passengers, has turned Britain's thoughts towards the airways of the Empire again.

It is realised here that the British Empire, by very reason of its geographic situation will have a supremely important part to play in the future development of civil aviation. The very dispersion of the Common­wealth possessions which, in the days of sailing ships meant isolation and imposed difficulties of organisation and Government,will,in the future,serve to knit the Empire even more closely together.

On the day arranged, we left Stanley* Cm1 trip had begun. Our first call was at Darwin, “on thu East Falklands, where by the time wo arrived, it was raining and blowing. The Darwin Cutter came out with mutton, which we took on board.

Eventually we started again, this time to Deception Island, So ith Shetlands. About the second day in" February, we saw the first glimpse of the

covered peaks in the distance. The next day we were passing through the straits.

__~~~either side were free of any snowand we could sec the volcanic gravel on their sides, with small touches of green.

After we had passed through we found ourselves in a kind of crater with one side broken down to form the strait.

After I had boon through the- empty houses ashore,I visited the cemetery, and saw the headstones with the men’s names (mostly Norwegian) who died here when whaling.

The next morning we saw the hot springs on the beach, but ail of the remaining days were*bad, and I stayed on board the boat.

At first it is warm and tender, (painful to touch )# During the next two days it may become larger, hot and very painful, and the swell­ing may occupy the whole of the space between the two lower jaw bones# It gradually gets softer towards one point at the cen­tre of the swelling, and should he lanced (opened) at this point before it bursts, but not until it has become definitely soft.

When the:* disease affects the animal more seriously, breath­ing becomes noisy (this condition is known as ’roaring1 )• and the feet and ears may become puffy and swollen, while, the condition of the body becomes very poor*

When the abdomen or the upper part of the. head ( the pouches above the eyes) becomes affected th- dibase may persist in the animal for months after it Jjvas apparently recovered, and may recur at irregular intervals#

*xvlt

The disease is especially serious because of the* larger number of after effects that may develop. Among these are roaring 0^" whistling, which affects about 20 percent# of all infected animals the growing together of the lungs and. the ribs, or of the entrails' to the surrounding walls, and sometimes the joints retrain stiff and painful throughout the remainder of the animal’s life.’ The most serious alter efiect is possioly the. development of a di '^nqp of the blood circulatory system which causes the death’o half th animals that contract the disease.

Ticks are small animals that suck the blood of all kinds of the higher animals, mammals, birds, reptiles etc® They are related to mites, and distantly related to spiders® They have four pairs of legs in their mature stages. This separates them from insects which never have more than three pairs of legs* The parasite that is commonly called Sheep Tick in this Colony, is therefore not a true tick since it has only three pairs of legs. In Britain it is .known as the Kod, because there, shoep are sometimes attacked by a real Tick®

8* Do not lance (cut into the soft part of the swelling) too soon or com­plications may set in* Wait until the sort fluctuating -spot .is ’found*It develops in a few days. Do not then delay too long before opening because if the abscess bursts there is great destruction of the tissues and healing takes longer, and If it bursts internally the animals swallow the pus and the infection may spread to the lungs and the intestines®

9* After opening the abscess wash it out with a good disinfectant but do not make the disinfectant so strong that it burns the tissues® -*A suitable treatment would be 1 part of tincture of iodine to three parts of water, or 1 part of kerol or fluid sheep dip to 50 parts of water*

There are many kinds of ticks, and, though some may be less than one tenth of an inch long, others -may grow until they are 1r; inches long; but they all have the same general type of development* on the ground, and these hatch into six-legged larvae.

Last week was quite an interesting one in Stanley* On Thursday the* Annual Poppy Fund Dance, of the British Legion took place, and was organised under* the capable hands of the Amy. The Bands gave their services free, and altogether the large crowd present had a very happy evening*

Earlier on Thursday evening I dropped in to the Annual General Meeting of the Local Branch of the Red Cross-. Thirteen members were present. Surely one or two more could have been there*1 Such a Meeting is very important, and no matter what a person's views may bo upon Committees, you cannot run any valuable public body such as a Branch of the. Red Cross, or any thing else for that matter, without good support.

With that off my chest, I must say that I was impressed with the- Reports, and the splendid amounts sent home for the general work of the Red Cross during the Branch's financial year, as well as the ' very successful Plying Bomb Relief. Appeal* Well done, everybody!—and that is all the* people in Stanley, on the East and on the West, and on the Islands, who gave >their "bit" towards these splendid results.

Now I believe in giving praise whe-rt praise is duo, and I must say that Mrs Hamilton (Chairman) deserves great praise for all she has done in that capacity, Mrs Lewis the Secretary also fills an important Roll, and the Colony is indebted to her, for her services in this valuable cause. Miss MwBiggs has a reputation in this Colony, for service to ethers, and in her work as Treasurer - all these posts are honorary of Course-Miss Biggs has put in many hours

I looked into the Canteen the same night. There again I saw a quiet but important -service going- on- those responsible doing their best to giv-o. the soldiers a meeting place in the' centre of the .town.

The murder of Lord Moyne tack from the councils of the Empire a. man of unusual value whose work was comparatively little known to the general public. He was a rich man and- devoted his whole life to the service of his King sbd country, thinking neither of profit nor. of reward, entirely regardless of personal cost to himself. He was the perfect example of .that person, the almost obsolete Victorian country land- owner and father of his people.

Miniature Rifle Club was. this year able to enter.; * a team in the Colonial Small-Bore Match organised by the Society^of MjLniature .Rifle Clubs*

'Throughout the season the scores generally had been somewhat disappointing, but in the match trials great improvement-was shown, with the result that the composition of the team could not be finally decided until the actual- evening of the match when

, ' five members had to shoot off to qualify for the two remaining .-.places' in the team.

The Ladies section of the Club, which had produced some'excellent scores ’ throughout the season, was well represented in the preliminary trials.., but .the- only lady to qualify for a place in the - team was MrscR. Hills who has the .honour of being the first lady to represent the Colony in an inter-Colonial shooting match.

The practice of stopping plants is often overdone* It is easy to say when a piano should he stopped, but not quite so easy to say which plants,^ in f;;.ct very few plants require this treatment and therefore, the golden rule tofollow is---- don’t attempt to stop a plant if it showsthe least sign of branching* The object of the operation is of course to. induce branching. S chi z an thus are among the plants often stopped, but generally this plant branches quite- freely. .. •

But they hat.ed.more .the’ taxgatherers, who were not only working for their enemies, hut were also very greedy men* Matthew (or Levi as he is called in the

; verses you read) was one of these taxgatherers. One . ..day. Matthew made friends with Jesus,, and Jesus asked

him* to follow Him or/he one of His disciples. Matthew - did so. He left his task and went with Jesus from

place to place, helping Kim in His work of doing good and telling the people about Cod. We learn from this story that Jesus, gets the best out of us, if we trust Him and become His disciples..

Aftcr the short ceremony of the kick off performed . ably by Mrs .Mart in — The Scots who won the toss immediately made roads for England’s goal, several narrow escapes here, but, th - English half backs were making their presence felt, and Scotland could make little head-way. The pace was terrific and the crowd wer*; kept on their toes, both goals having narrow escapes. After half an hour's’play, Sectland :took the' lead with a penal ty scored -by Paul for a foul against Harris. Hoary was unlucky about tills time not to score, his shot struck the upright. Cunningham was playing a heroes' game as the English team was getting into full stride now*. Boyes and Smith were unfortunate not to score - Half time Scot.1.

O'Neil, Kyle was caught on the hop with a smart shot from close in. Play was /very keen and several players had to receive attention from the trainers, England scored again but it was chalked off ■ for a previous infringement—Scotland had most chances of winning this game," but England, I think, had a little more class, a draw was the best result of this miniature international. All the players deserve mention for this display which was thoroughly -enjoyed by everyone.

.When my bairns playe.d beside me,Happy and carefree,Gathered flowers from off the Hillside And brought them home to me.

I can hear the lambs all bleating when They’re brought in from the hills,I can hear the dogs abarking,And the shepherds whistle loud and shrill.

• I can see that dear old homestead,Beside the Southern sea9And hear the robins singing loud and clear. I can hear the milk cows lowing As the wind blows from the west,And in all- this wide, wide, world.Its the spot that I love best.

Lear Sir.The Public Notice in the Weekly News of Nov.16th.

relating W the vacancy which exists for Apprentice Printer, brought tc mind a scheme I have often thought about, namely, a Correspondence course for the success­ful, candidate whether he be’Banker, Accountant, Agriculture, Wireless operator or Lngineer.

The Apprentice to commence the course when commencing his apprenticeship, so that on the succesful complet­ion, of his course, he would have in his possession, a certificate recognized throughout the world.

If for instance the apprentice was to be a Wireless operator he; would either take a course in ”City and Guiids Telecommunications” or P.M.G. Certificate for ■Wireless operatorsn.

A scheme"such as this would he a benefit to both future employer and employee alike, irrespective of

whom he works for, Government service or in the service of a private Firm.

The success of the scheme would depend on the Candidate having reached a high standard in the Government School, and finally on the apprentice showing sufficient interest in his work.

There was an old man who said ”Wh&t On earth do they mean by the rot That they print in the News?”— Then he called for his shoes

Gar deni jig Notes.As soon as potato crops and vegetable seedlings oan

be clearly defined in the rows,- use should bo made of the dutch-hoe. Not only arc; weeds kept under control, but the baked surface of the soil is broken up, this proving beneficial to the crops. From now onwards,, the hoe should be used freely.

Flower beds and borders, may nis- be hoed over at fairly Regular intervals, more especially where the plants are well spaced.

Young cabbages .that are being subjected to winds can be supported by drawing the soil about the stems.

Should cauliflower be treated in this way, care must be taken to av>id soil particles entering the heart- of the plant.- Soil entering the heart often causes ’blindness1, and the plant is useless.

Why the V*C, means so much*

The V.C* is not awarded for spectacular heroics though there have been many extraordinary episodes which have resulted in this most coveted decoration.The Victoria Cross spells bravery* This is perhaps not quite the same thing, as the actions of "Lieut:*"" Alex Horwooa which resulted in a V*C. and his death may show*

The Lieutenant's men faced the Japanese across an open area that had been completely bared of cover by concentrated air bombing* The enemy were occupying a heavily defended position and Lieut.Horwood brought several mortars to bear on them* He personally lay out in the open operating a set of mortars while the rest of the -troops manoeuvred in order to locate the exact positions of the enemy bunkers and machine-gun nests* Throughout the day he was under intense rifle, machine- gun and rnortar fire.

Not content with these activities he then deliber­ately scrambled about the bare ridge above the cliff on reconnaissance and in order to draw the fire of •»

the enemy so that the attackers might locate the Japanese* He remained on the ridge the whole night and the following day went back to firing mortars while further attacks were launched.

Ho become convinced that the enemy would crack with one further and determined attack and he volunteered to lead this himself* He did so in the afternoon with the utmost calm but while standing amid the enemy wire entanglement, directing his men, he was shot pt point blank range and fatally wounded.

This is an example of sustained bravery under continuous fire that is hard to comprehend—not a sudden flash of heroism but a coldly calculated ana sustained effort continuing for three days and nights*zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxsxzxzxzxzxzxTh* record snaed set up so far, for motor cycling on

XA Journey tc Stanley from the Camp* -iIn England one travels; from the outlying district

into the town by train or motor bus, or.bicycle -here is the storjr of how a girl of sixteen travelled

recently by herself‘from an outlying farm to Stanley- a distance of some thirty miles.

It was early morning-Mr H rode up towards the farm- house-he had just come from the town, on this thirty

mile ,iourne3r into the Cafflp-on horseback# Life in this part of the world is the real thing—no sitting in a corafortable '

^y cinenia, and watching wild west ridersgalloping along on their steeds, with the

wind blowing in thfcir faces.- and a faint background of soul-stirring music.

The journey from town to this Camp station is over undulating country, without roads- or properly marked out tracks. This is a sheep rearing country, and the farms are large. You must know the way by yourself, of else have a guide.

On your journey you must travel to the gates in the various boundary fences, you must climb a mountain where the going Is rough* you must pass over about half a dozen creeks, which must be passed when the tide i-s not too high,and as you travel along, hour after*-hour you may not meet a soul.

Mr H. arrived at the corral-he dismounted, and appro-ached a young girl who was in the process of

. gearing up her horse. In his pocket was a letter for •the young lady, from a relation in town. VJouid she

GARDENING- NOTES. (continued.)Vegetable seedlings must be thinned out as soon as

they are large enough to handle easily; seedlings are often allowed to grow on far too long, becoming drao-vi alia weakened before thinning takes place.

Annual flower seedlings should also be thinned if best results are to be obtained. Some indication as to the distances required between the different classes of plants are—small, compact plants, four to six inches; medium plants, nine inches, and large plants, twelve inches*

Seeds of Wallflower-, Myosotis .and Aubrietia may be sown now for flowering during the next spring and early summer. Some of the Wallflower plants will of course be lifted and potted up for winter flowering under glass* The seeds sbou1 d be sown in a seed-bed, and when large enough to handle, wild be transu?-^uted into a nursery unti? ready for planting out in" place tov„r^ the end of April.

3th November, 1944*

In response to a request received from certain members of the Labour Advisory Board, His Excellency has approved the publication of the follvroing report on the recent deliberations of the -.Board concerning the question of the Cost of Living in the Colony

At the end of September the Board was instructed by His Excellency'the Governor to investigate the question of the Cost of Living in the Colony, as a Eesult of a request made to him'b:- the Labour Federation for a grant of an increase in wages.

. Changes in the composition .of the Board, necessit­ated by the temporary absence of two of its permanent members, delayed the.Boardfs deliberations somewhat, but by 23rd* October agreement was’reached upon the Report to be submitted to His Excellency*

As a basis for their investigations the Board took the table of articles agreed upon in 1942 when carry­ing out their investigation* that year* The comparison then made was as to the difference in cost, between \938 and 1942, of agreed _uni-ts of these articles, representing the approximate monthly requirements of

family of five (father, mother and 3 children).These articles were termed "essentials", though in actuality they automatically divide themselves in'eo "vital" essentials and "virtual" essentials- (They are capable of further sub—division, but this lias not yet been attempted by the Board).*

The itemsccnsistcd of 124 in all, classified as

In the case of the majority of the items .it was possible, by making enquiries at the shops in the Town, to reach oornpl eze agreement -as to * current- prices o' '

In the case of some items, such as carting and seldom-recurring articles like household utensils and linen which it is impossible to itemise completely, a compromise figure was arrived at according tc the estimates of the-majority of'the Board - usually in favour of the case for the wage-earner.

The result of these investigations and calculations showed that the cost of rent, tobacco and light remained unchanged from 1942-. Carting and Household (miscellan­eous) showed slight.increases; foodstuffs and cleansers a slight increase. Crockery etc, showed a fairly heavy increase, and bed and table linen a heavy Individual items of clothing showed increases in varying amounts, but these were entirelj*- offset by the rationing scheme which came into force in January 1943* less than one-half -of "the value-of-the items shown in the clothing tables being obtainable under the coupon sustem* .

aThe final totals of the two budgets were:-

1942. £26* 19* £26.The 3o.a-r4'therefore'reportedbto-His'. Excellency that

they found there had been no increase in the Cost of Living since the last survey was carried out, but that there was.In fact a very slight decrease.IMPORTANT ■ To. expl a In any seeming anomaly between total monthly costs and standard wage-earnings, the expression ."Requirements of a family-of five" assumes that every such household uses evs ry item appearing in the lists; that no sacrifices or reductions are made to meet exceptional circumstances; that every item is bought in the shops or from tradesmen, nothing (except fresh

THREE •K’.-.T.KLAItD ISLANEKRS BECOME R,A.F.MOTOR BOAT CREW ------- --------- MEKE.CRS.

\t a R«/®F. Marine Training School in Scotland are three sturdy wnii-irnd Islanders undergoing training to become efficient members of the p "7 f. " Motor Boat/ service. They are A.C.2. J.A.Kirk, A.0.2.O.L.Summers and *02 PoBerrido , nil of Port Stanley,

After their training course they will be employed as members of a crew of a High Speed Launch cither engaged on Air Sea Rescue work, possibly on the petrol boats which refuel Sunderlands and Catalinas, or

they might be employed on vessels which carry the bombs to theseor

again . _ ...Coastal Command aircrait.

Whilst hoping they will be chosen for the more exciting Air Sea Rescue work, whatever task is allotted them they will do well and fteartily*

They have’ served a few years in the Merchant Service plying-between the Falkland Islands and South America. Shortly after the outbreak of war they transferred from the Merchant Navy to the Falkland Islands Defence Force - memories of Admiral Graf 3pee in the last war who was routed by Admiral Sturdee impressed on the inhabitants of these Islands that where there’s war there’s danger - and when R.A.F. volunteers were sought they quickly offered themselves.

\ Their previous knowledge of .seamanship was excellent experience for Motor Boat work. In a ‘recent interview they stated that they were thoroughly happy and although they hud to learn a lot of new things they were not finding it v ry difficult.

They are getting on splendidly with their companions who arc, it sec-ms, very curious about th-_. Falkland, islands* The majority of Englishmen they have met.were astounded to hear that the total population of the island?, was only about 3>000.

The Falklnnders were very surprised to find that food was so good after nearly five years of war. They expected that conditions would be very much worse, the standard of food would be lower and the supplies smaller* Their living quarters are comfortable so that they feel that good living and good sleeping are helping them to do some good work.

They have only one grumble. The Mail is very slow in arriving. In four months there has been one letter® But they have adopted the philosophical attitude common with seafaring people and appreciate that it takes time for letters to travel 8,000 miles by sea those days.

Summers, Kirk and Borrido all have brothers or sisters serving in the^Forces® Summers has two sister who are R.A. I'b Nursing Orderlies in England and a brother j.n the Merchant Service who is based in England. He

V has seen his brother, and hopes to see the sisters before many weeks have passed, Kirk has one brother in the R.A.F*- they came over together - and another brother in th« Royal Navy. Berrido has two brothers in the

. Merchant Navy, and has been fortunate enough to see both of theguFalkland Islanders will be glad to know that three potential R*A>F.

Motor Boat crew members arc faring well in the Mother Country*, ihey ha ■- asked that the follwoing message should be published:— w:!o &rc v.ell, ho Happy as Kings and on,joying our job. V/e have had a week afloat ana arc looking forward to spending a lot of time at sea as Airm ;n-3ai-ors. i^e all hope to be back home before many months have passed”.

What liberation will mean to France* * • -France-T*s future existence is threatened by the

fact that Germany is holding 3,900,000 Frenchmen in bondage, the French Committee of National Liberation asserts*

The committee, in a' report on the manpower and industrial cost- of the German occupation, said that in

a little more than three 3/ears the Germans “had cost France 720*000,000,000 francs (#18,000,000,000 at the pre-war exchange rate) and the bulk of her industrial and agricultural wealth* One-fifth of the active population of France—the most virile element—is held by Germany as war prisoners, slave labourers and labourers working for Germany^within France, the committee.asserted, threatening a population loss that would preclude the existence of a strong French nation*

Since the .armistice,German looting of France has gene on methodically and continues today, the committee changed* Thus far the Germans have requisit­ioned 140,000 horses, 212,000,000 gallons of wine, 2,000,000 tons of wheat, 2,000,000 tons of fodder and 50Q*,000 -tons of meat*

In the, last two years-1 have-had a number, of opportunities to visit places r-oo;ud -shese islands and I will leave the Colony when the time comes, with feelings of sincere regard for the hospitable folk of the Camp Settlements.

Wherever my ship called our welcome was both spontaneous and overwhelming. Did we wish to. ride or shoot; did we wish to dance or. spend a convivial evening?-it was only for us to say*

.What always amazed me was the lavish feasts-which appeared to be conjured from nowhere. Often the ship would appear without*warning. An hour later colossal meals would most.like!:/' be available for any who went ashore. .

The- greatest feat in this direction was performed by Mrs Pe~ck Eetts of Pebble. Y/e arrived one day eu.ite unannounced and all except the duty crew went .ashore.It was almost tradition that everyone• at once makes for„,?JiRi 'Peclfs ■place”.

On this occasion officers and men to the number of about 'sixteen arrived. From nowhere came vast quantities of meat, potatoes, luscious salad,, cake, tea and what have you. We. fed in two relays, Mrs Feck quietly and efficiently seeing to it that every man had his fill • Afterwards it was Jim’s turn-but we dr aw

and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.Last week I had an interesting letter from Sir

• ' Clutha Mackenzie, our Representative in India* He ” ‘ told me of the official opening of our Indian Training

Centre at Dehra Dun, by K.S.Sir Maurice Hallett, Governor of the United Provinces« He said:

: "The sun shone brightly, the grounds were spick and span in consequence of excellent work by our gardeners and coolies and the buildings looked well avnid their•* lush green trees* A big lot of people turned up, in fact all official and military Dehra Dun and a generous representation of the Indian community * Our St. Dunstanf s . men. deserve top marks for their whole part in the proceedings, really a splendid spirit which would make you proud. Their smartness and drill Wore tip-top and their exhibition of work in their various departments left nothing to be desired11*

I believe Sir Clutha has now between thirty and forty blinded Indian soldiers under his care. They seem to be getting on very well and I think people all over India arc watching this experiment with keen interest. As you probably know, there* is a great deal of blindness among the civil population there. Sir Clutha himself was blinded at Gallipoli during the last war.

LETTER RECEIVED BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR, FROM ST. DUNSTAN'S.

2 2nd August, 1944.Dear Sir Allan,

As you have been good enough to take an interest in our work and been instrumental in sending us much valuable help from the Falkland Islands, you may like to hear something of our progress to-day*

V7e are very busy at St. Duns ton's at the moment.We have had quit.1 a number of blinded casualties from Sicily amd Italy and little parties of men are now arriving at our new Hospital Unit from Northern France. At the end of June we moved cur hospital Unit from Shropshire to considerably further South. During the past year hospitalization of service casualties'in Shropshire has become increasingly difficult owing to the absence of available ancillary surgical and medical services; for instance plastic, ear, nose and throat and other specialists have had to visit us from London and with mounting casualties increased service would bo required from these surgeons who have less instead of more time to spend in.;travelling.

The hospital to which we have moved is a big E*M.S* one and_it has been arranged that two large wards are- set aside for our exclusive use. They are called the St.Duns tan's Wards. A large hutment is being erected close to these wards to provide a lounge for the men and a rcon in which preliminary training can be given in braille and typewriting . There is available in the Hospital an Occupational Therapy Unit, vrher^ such men as desire it can do a bit of elementary joinery, or make a rug.

The other day I spent an end of term week-end at the Training Centre, ..which is still in Shropshire. We had a busy time with sports,. which are very popular.The heats had been run during the previous week and the finals came cn the Saturday. It was a regular sports meeting and some ofih men did extraordinarily well. There were races of all kinds, sack races, relay races, three-legged races, tandem tortoise races, etc., and iect3 of skill like putting the weight and throwing the discus. St.Dunstan’s Band played with great vigour•I ,

With our good wishes to you and the Members of your Committee,

Yours sincerely (Sgd) IAN FRA33E.

Chairman.zxzxzxzxzxzxzxsxzxzxzxsxsxzxsxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx

Extract from the Baptist Times 26s13:44*

The Late Rsv.H.H.Eill;(One time Minister of the'T&bornacie, Stanley)

In .the death of Rev.Herbert Henry Hill there has passed away a Christian gentleman who was well loved

• for his cheerful disposition and understanding' heart* He was trained in Spurgeon’s College, and intended

to serve in Congo under the auspices .'of the 3.LI.S but after a serious illness during his college training C.H.Spurgeon advised him to offer for service in the Falkland Islands, .where' he laboured from i 896 to 1898. Returning td this country, he held pastorates at East Kirleby abd Kirkby-in-Ashfiold; Brixham; Selisbury-rond, Plymouth, and finally Dudley from 1919 to 1938. A faithful pastor'and an able leader, he won the affection of old .and j^cung alike. His evangelical zeal and his marked5business ability enriched the churches where he vras pastor. Ho was the first minister at rSalisbury-raod> Plymouth, - and- was instrumental ’in th.: formation of th/ church, where

’ he worked for 13 years. The church at Priory-road Dudley, is' a fitting monument to <?. "life of devoted service. Hie funeral took place at Coventry, where ho lived in retirement. '

CHILDREN'S SPORTS.We regret to report the death of Mr Gideon McKay

on the West, after a short illness}on the 4th oi December in his 56th year*

Gid was born at Lester Creek, Pox Bay West. He first started work when a boy in tht employment of Stickney Brothers at Spring Point, After working there for some time he went to work for Dean and

Gid worked on this Station forchildren wasAnson at Chartres.thirty years. .

For many years Gid kept a diary of his day by day life; as th-. years went past this diary became known all over the Islands. Any person calling to

Gid always asked for a read of his diary. He gladly handed the manuscript over to the guest remarking as he did so that there was only one person who could read it, and that was himself I Gid had his

idea how the English language should be written.When War broke out in 1939* Gid put diary up

for Raffle to help raise money for the Red Cross. It was won by one of his old Shanty mates.

Gid tried farming on a small scale on his own on Green Island. He succeeded in rearing some of the finest beef#cattle ever seen on the West. Transport difficulties in getting the beef to town ended the venture-Gid tried^sheep farming but was not too successful.

Eventually Gid left the main West Island and worked for Mr.J.Hamilton on th: Passage Islands and at Weddell. He was working there until the time of his death;G.id/paBse.d away on Weddell Island.

To complete the afternoon's events, a Cinema show was given.in the Gymnasium - this was n most generous gesture from Mr Leslie Her civ.

■ As_ each child entered the Gymnasium, members of the W.M.S.C. distributed gifts of sweets.

The children must have slept soundly on Friday night.

•SFALKLAND ISLANDS DEFENCE FORCE CLUB. The alliance of the Defence Force with units of

the Regular Army at home which, as announced last week, has been approved by His Majesty the King is a very great honour for the;. members of the Falkland Islands Defence Force. Such alliances are rare and they have all. tp. be.approved by His Majesty the King personally. When approved they are published in Army Orders. bny‘arc recorded annually in the Army List immediately-, after the title of the Regular Unit concerned. Possibly-no body-of people have suchjealously guarded rights, privileges, customs and traditions as .the various units of the British Army and the sharing of such with volunteer Forces means

.-.that the latter have a deep obligation' to perform * in.maintaining them. For the Falkland Islands Defence ••Force, therefore, - to be allowed the honour of sharing tli.. particular traditions and privileges of the-'Royel Regiment of Artillery and The West Yorkshire Regiment ‘(.The Prince of Wales’ Own) means that these Regiments have sufficient opinion of our local Force to be willing to ‘entrust such maintenance to their care.

Soldierf s Life in the Falkland?.

Bdr. -Harrison*s Thanks For Hospitality*' Bombardier jiF.Harrison, RoA«? 21 >"Princestst., who recently returned after two years with-the forces in the Falkland Islands, feels he would like to .thank the Islanders for their hospitality, and hopes that a copy of this week's "Standard” may reach them,

B dr* Harrison was in th. Co-operative furnishing departmento a ke-en sportsman he played rugby for the Town, cricket and rugby for Old bene onions., and. was captain of Milton Park C.C. £or four years. He .joined tne Array 42 years ago. .^ .

• This is what he writes: Through the medium of the "Standard”, I would like to place on record .the appreciation felt by the majority of Falkland Islands forces,, for the kindness and..hospitality shorn to them

, by the inhabitants of those -islands* These forces spent soke two years on this, the f&rthest cutpost of the British Empire* Even as the troops were landed, hearts and homes- were opened to make their necessary stay a lot; easier.

•The islanders jarc most patriotic in their ways ana viewso : One never hears the word "England” - always "homeyb

Although only some 2,000 live on the islands, they havxj contributed large sums of money to the Fed Cross and other war funds. One would have understood the reason had these very British' people•expressed *' annoyanac or shown indifference to trip "invasion" by the imperial troops, because th-ir population was at once doubled, causing real inconvenience and hardship* But rather, the?/ did all possible to help their brothers from across the seas to settle down to an unusual existence.

We made friends - real friends>• whom, wo shall;. always think about in years to corne* We sincerely hope

. that in the net too distant future1 some of th-m will find it possible to visit us in the heart of our Empire.

Friday last,I5th December was the occasion of the first display given by the newly-formed Beys1 Brigade Company.After a short opening prayer,His Excellency the Governor inspected the Company ana was rewarded by the boys with three of the lustiest cheers heard in Stanley for seme time.

There followed demonstrations of Company and Recruits Drill,P, T, and Boxing of a very high standard, but even better were the first-aid,vaulting box and

parallel bar displays,There muse have been many men in the audience who would have thought twice before per-

. forming some of the intricate feats made to lock so easy by these boys.The enthusiasm and determination of the lads was well demonstrated by Stanley Hirtle during the vaulting-box display.In a short address His Excellency congratulated the Officcrs(Capt.Shepherd,Lieuts.Biy ch,Bound and Williams and Warrant-officer H alii day )for the work they have put in to bring the Company to such a standard of excellence in so short a time.The Boys’ Brigade Movement he said ' would help these lads in their future lives and he wished the Company every success *

The collection realized no loss than £Io:3:9-proof enough that the spectators .appreciated the grand shew put on by these young men of tomorrow.

It is understood that the Company will be going to Gamp for 5 days during the School holidays,and it is hoped that the employers of the older boys will encourage the movement by granting them the necessary leave of absence. V.

Apparently after having a guide for the main part of the journey Father Drumra thought that ho could save- the guide by completing the journey to town by himself - but he 'had difficulty with his horse, and setting off on-foot, was uncertain of his bearings,

So ended another 3th Shoot.To the winners congratul -ions and to the losers better luck and shooting next time*

For the interest of readers it may ho mentioned that the Stanley Gup was provided by public* subscription and presented to the Defence Force to be competed for on the Sth December each year in commemoration of the Falkland Islands Battle*The first year of Competition was 1515 and the Cup was won that year by "Dan,?Lehen who unfortunately did not compete this year owing to his exile , at Eliza Cove.Conditions have varied over this longiperiod but this year o’-Trere more or less as laid dov.iT’vat the eommencement of the competition 7 rounds, deliberate at 200 yards,7 rounds snap at the wee* manny at'200 yards ,4 seconds expo sure, 8,rbull and 7 rounds deliberate at 500 yards' with a possible score of 105 •

The morning of the 3th was dull and cold tut the Committee-which was new to their job rightly decided * to hold the shoot,which commenced soon after nine o’clock*The weather improved and a steady breeze blew from the left.Some excellent scores were' returned at 200 yards deliberate, the. best being possibles by P.*L* ‘ Robson,W.F.Strrnmers and W.Browning.At snap-shooting which up-sets many a man’s score the best returned were by R.I.King 33,L.A.Se<3gwick 32 and C^Henrickson 30o

On retiring to the 500 yards range R.I. King and L.A.Sedgwick each had scored 65 closely followed, by R.L.Eobson W.Browning and W.F.Summers. Speculation was rife as to who would be the ultimate

winner fend when 2*1. “.King fired and finished with 96 it was onl.3r'possible for or three members to beat him#£ut when L.A.Sedgwick got going with an inner‘first to count followed by a bull every eye was strained to see how he would finjsh*Shooting perfectly lie scored six bulls and finished with the record score fo 99«No omor competitor could equal this fine effort and one remain —acr* who had good scores could only do their rest lor piapiac

It was regretted that Captain Aldridge who is such an enthusuastic shot was unable to be present and com­pete on account of a leg injury received at football recently. . _

If the Committee had thought to provide a couple of dart .boards and a few packs of cards how happy Timnapjoe & Co would have been.This is a suggestion for next year.

D. DAY.

I was drafted to a Naval Commando training camp somewhere in England in early April and was put through all the usual toughening-up processes associated with that type of war-fare. Hand to hand fighting, unarmed combat, bayonet practice, target practice, physical training, sealing walls, etc.Being a cook I had also to do a course of field cookery. This consisted chiefly of learning how to make your own stoves and ovens out of old bins, sheet iron or, in case that was not available, out of loose o.ddments and clay. These were run on petrol and air on a similar principal to that of the primus stove.

Three days before D. Day, the C.O. assembled all in camp and told us we were going to France and that nobody would be' permitted to ieaye the camp. That night orders wore given to pack cur gear for embark­ation. We left for London, from there to a. port on the south Coast, arriving there the following day. Each invasion unit was assembled in a numbered box, which was something like can enclosure, ready for embarkation. After one day*s wait, we were’ told we were leaving about midnight and net to leave our box. We all slept how and where we could until whistles summoned us at 23*45* to board our lorries which took us to the docks where our* unit boarded a U*3*i.$T,T.C. The crossing went well - the weather was good; clear sky, little mist, no rain; the sea slightly chopp?/ but fast becoming calm. There were no enemy aircraft; a small British fighter escort wore thd only pianos visible; and-no enemy ships were sighted. Everybody seqmed hpppy- we were playing cards with French money

r (not even knowing the value or it) -and hinging instilv nobody scorned to be fueling homesick or moaning .-about^ wore like one big happy family. .

The lorries had been greased and covered and the exhaust pipe was fixed in such a way .that it was above the surface of the water.

^exterminated as soon as they were spotted. As wo got farther along the road wo began to bo shelled from

Some of the lorries wore hit and set on fire but casualties were small. The comparatively easy advance cf the Americans in the Cherbourg penunsula was put down to the fact that the Germans had switched their panzer divisions to Caen which they intended to hold'. Advance allied units driving beyond Caen to the north east towards Le

Control of white grub is not easy,but when a plant is found to .be attacked,an attack is indicated by the total collapse of the plant which on removal leaves the soil just below the surface.On examination of the stein, and the soil in the immediate vicinity,the grubs will be found and should be destroyed.Attacks can also be minimized by the constant use of the dutch hoe where possible, Decause the pest dislikes soil movement ^norther

more effective means of control,is the use of Napthalene applied to the infected area in'Spring.Carbon disulphide has also been used most effectively*

Seeds cf cabbage for Spring, use should be sown now.It is essential that the sowing should not be delayed, otherwise tne resulting plants will be too tender to withstand the rigours of winter and a valuable crop may be lost.Those fortunate enough to possess stocks of Enfield Market /slower of Spring,Harbinger, Early Market or Early Offenham are advised to sow any of these in preference to present saleable varieties.

S&.Wyp should be planted in place without delay* This is a valuable winter cabbage providing a most palatable green vegetable ot o. time when there is little else except kale.The °avcy requires a firm,rich,soil,and should be spaced at least eighteen inches apart*

Soil about, the base of Shallots shouJ.d be removed until the bulbs are just sitting on the so’ll surface,

several Bills.Most of them consolidatingOraiumcesiwhich• form part of the revlaionof the laws.In addition there is a Bill to enable-the trout which have been success-

■ fully bred in -the Moody Stream to be protected.Further- importations of trout during 1945 .are to be earmarked

for distribution in the' streams, outside the Stanley area. There'ere also two Bills which will'be of interest to-the farming comiinahi-ty.'The ’first is an enabling Ordinance giving the Government power to control the importation of all kinds of plants and seeds.This

. measure'has been Icing over due and should be a great help in keeping plant disease out of the Colony*Finally there is an amendment to the Live Stock Ordinance which, has.been introduced' at the request of the farmers.The effect;'of this amendment is that nobody may drive any sheep across anyone elses station without having in his possession a V/ay Bill ..stating the number. description and marking of the sheep.Notice must also be given to the Manager of the Station at least 24 hours before the s>ie.ep are driven across and given details of time and plate.These formalities can only be dispensed with by written permission from the Manager concerned.

As the year 1944 is nor closing re wish to convey our thanks and best wishes to our customers who have supported our trade during the year,and have put up with'our manyJahortcomings in regard to supplios>and services*

It is quite certain that the War will continue to drag on for some considerable time to come and that there is little hope of any prices felling to any extent-on the contrary everything points co the fact that prices will continue to rise— oven after Germany is defeated*"because as the enslaved population of Europe "become liberated the demands for goods in Europe itself will expand very rapidly,end this is

certain to affect prices in the River PI at o* our main source of supply at present*

However our friends may rest assured that the Estate Louis Williams will continue to exert every effort to keep prices on an even keel and to endeavour to effect a fair distribution of available supplies.

Again we thank you,one and alio
