B.C., THURSDAY, MARCH 7th, 1940 N o . 47 NEIBVES Germany started w hat she was pleased to call "a war of ̂* nerve.s ̂ on the British Empire. And already she has had; her answer. Nobody but a German with his fundamental lack of iiumor would have even thought of such a policy, for common sense .should have suggested th a t those who could regard the H y m n of Hateri as a subject for m irth and bontiriually find things to laugh a t in, the battle line were the last people likely to sutler from nerved And so the boomerang has struck, and . the Hun--he has shown himself to be still a Hun--is stagger^ ing from the shock. , Wc British are' a seafaring folk, even those of us who tpossibly for generations have lived out their lives inland. The lift of the waves and the roar of the storm wind are in our yory blood, and nothing can move us quite so much as some oki or new epic of the sea. We can, for instance, appreciate and feel proud of the struggles of our pioneer forefathers in carv­ ing this Canada of ours out of the wilderness, but we thrilled to the story of the recent battle of Harwood and his m erry men. . That is our hard old mother, the sea, calling;, and those whose forebears or who personally have ridden out the storms of all the oceans with ai laugh or a curse are not the kind who suffer from nerves. Certainly we are traders too, yet still s e a ' tiadors, and the re is a whole world of difference between them. Our tale has not yet been told,'nor will it be, while th a t call has power to'm ove us. We still love freedom more than all else, we still oan laugh a t frightfulness, and ,so long as these things be, we peoples of British stock will still have a contri­ bution to make to th a t progj'ess of man which is called civil­ ization. j MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS A.
