I dont see how we can. The painters had another hour or two of work today and then was to come in a fatigue party to scrub the decks. Tonight we work far far into the night to get the furniture back into place and then the grand re-opening. Breen, Melvln and I have J list finished washing down the walls In the ladles' lounge and Douglas has almost choked himself to death dusting the library books and CANADA putting them back on the shelves. We're so happy in the service! It seems I should have written up last week's concert but neglected to do so. From this far date, however, I do recall it as quite the best local talent one yet. A newcomer, Horace Booth of the Navy, made a great hit with hts'songs and Red Painter gave that rousing modern ballad should a ballad be rousing, I think, not. but nevertheless- this by L. S. B. SHAPIRO War correspondent for the Monfreal Gazelle and famous for his regular broadcasts from London. Canadian Army on Manoeuvres, Somewhere in England You probably never heard of the Battle qf .Long Crendon. It will not.go down in the history of this war. No Axis troops have been defeatecTin the hills overlooking the picvJresque English town called Long Crendon. Yet it was an important battle to the men in the war office, poring over maps and blueprints, who are responsible for the strategy of our coming offensive. These men will remember Long Crendon because it tested the efficiency of Canadian transport. "The dagger pointed at the heart of Berlin" is the Canadian army that must be thrust forward on wheels. Long Crendon proved that Canadians have the wheels and the men to drive them. The "battle" occurred during the great Canadian-British manoeuvres just completed. I was with the Canadians spearheading the attack at the fringe of the "enemy" line. A break-through at this point was important to the whole campaign. Time was short. The zero hour for the battle of Long Crendon was set for six-thirty under lengthening shadows of a setting sun. Transport had to be brought up fast carriers, artillery, anti-aircraft, ammunition supplies, tanks. Hundreds of vehicles roared through the English countryside. They sped over asphalt highways and struggled across water-logged meadows and rutted country roads. This was a test of speed and mechanical efficiency. Then six-thirty the zero hour. Our troops moved across a wide valley to attack on high ground overlooking Long Crendori. War Office referees examined our dispositions. The transport was there all of it. Every supply truck, every carrier, every motor-drawn field piece was in its proper place, mudsplattere'd , but triumphant. Referees gave us the nod. Our men and supplies had arrived in time and in sufficient superiority to overwhelm the "enemy". That's the brief story of the battle of Long Crendon. You won't read it in history books. But bur High Command knows as a result of Long Crendon that when tie great offensive starts the Canadian dagger will be thrust forward on wheels, with a hundred per, cent, efficiency. There was no more significant feature of this gruelling 10 days' workout than the magnificent performance of the Canadian Army's .THE DAILY NEWS one is) "There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere." Both Horace arid Red were encored time after time. Cleaver Wilson's 'Temperature Lecture," repeated by special request, brought down the house. The rest of the program was on the same high level and, as a tender tribute to Mother's Day, a leading aircraftsman sang "Mother O' Mine." In the quiz contest conducted" by the erudite MacLelland the Air Force won over the Army This week the Air Force will be the challengers. Last Monday mgnt the seamen of JlMCS. Chatham put on one of the best dances in navy circles this season. Carefully planned In every detail by Leading Seaman Samson, and committee It was a well deserved success. We are still wondering where our volunteer Air Force pianlxt went DAGGER Wednesday night? To date he Is.1 still adrift. Thanks pal, It certainly put us in a spot. 3 Fresh Local Raw and 1 Pasteurized MILK VALENTIN DAIRY g FIIONE 657 ADY TO STRIKE ! Canadian-built mechanized equipment.
