Minister
Churchill
celebrated
his
70th
birthday
today-hard
at
work.
The
Commons
rose
to
cheer
when
he
entered
the
House
this
morning
but
Mr.
Churchill
quickly
waded
Into
the
question
of
lend-lease.
He
said
that
after
Germany
Is
defeated,
Britain
hopes
to
be
alV
to
cut
the

TERRACE,
Nov.

The
departure
of
several
hundred
men
of
a
Saskatchewan
regiment
for
a
new
posting
after
having
been
stationed
here
was
orderly
and
smoothly
carried
out.
There
was
no
evidence
of
any
compulsion.
The
soldiers
left
the
camp
and
walked
In
small
groups
to
the
'train.
None
carried
arms.
The
wives
of
a
few
of
the
men
were
present
and
there
were
the
usual
farewells.
Troops
of
Quebec
and
Prince
Edward
Island
regiments,
who
as
late
as
Sunday
night
had
endeavoured
to
prevent
other
Home
Defence
men
who
tried
to
leave
Terrace,
remained
at
their
camps
while
the
troop
train
was
being
loaded.
The
situation
today
in
the
military
camp
appears
to
be
getting
back
to
normal.
At
any
rate
all
Is
quiet
today.
,'
The
people
cl
Terrace
did
not
take
alarm
as
might
have
been
supposed
ln
such
a
serious
situation
where
over
1000
soldiers
had
staged
what
they
regarded
a
sit-down
strike
but
which
Jn
military
affairs
,-was
dubbed
nothing
less
than
mutiny.
Instead,
a
sense
of
humor
appeared
as
when
the
beer
parlors
and
the
liquor
Store
were
closed,
as
they
still
are,
some
proposals
were
made
to
organize
a
par
ade
o;
civilians
bearing
placards
through
the
military
camp
with
the
slogan
"We
Want
our
Booze."

The

seems
substantiated
by
the
reports

Nazi

waging
a
savage
fight
