STRATHMORE STANDARD VOL XXXIV — No. 50. — Strathmore, Alberta, October 14th, 1945 Subscription per annum — $2.00; Foreign — $2.50 Petty Officer Leland Lewis Addresses Strathmore«Lions nn ts On Thursday, October ith., the Strathmore Lions Ciub were privileged to hear a most interesting taik on the experiences of Petty Officer Leland Lewis (of the Log Cabin Gaiage at Cheadle) as a member of Lord Louis Montbatten’s commandos. He spoke very lustily of this com- mander, who led his men into battle, instead of merely giving orders. In- cidently, Montbatten uses the term, “combined operations” instead of com- mandos to designate those who co-oper ate with the army in aggressive opeia- tions. As such, they are not entirely “navy men”. Petty Officer Lewis first described the rigid commando training in the bleak north of Scotland where’ there was no amusement, but the men didn’t mind because after severe exercise the only place they wanted te go was to bed. Practice on landing barges lLere was a precourser to the Dieppe vaid, which he said was not a blunder, but a very valuable experience in reconis- sance on a large scale. At Dieppe on- ly four types of barges were used, some of ply-wood which were very in- ferior. Now there are about 17 types of landing barges. The experiences at Dieppe, even though they meant a large loss of men (some of his best buddies) was nevertheless justified in the knowledge obtained which was lat er used in North Africa and _ Sicily. He said the Germans are no fools, and that German intelligence knew of the coming raid 2 or 8 days before and were waiting with “brass bands ard typewriters” on shore and U-boats in the water. The Canadian Army en- gineers were especially complimented on their fighting in this raid. After Dieppe the British people were much warmer to the Canadians and a leave was greatly appreciated. His next action was in the landing of troops at North Africa. Very litue resistance was met on landing and things were much more orderly due to experiences at Dieppe. After landing, however, the Americans were “almost pushed out of Oran and Casablanca” by the French Foreign Legion, who en- joy fighting, and don’t care who they fight with. A compliment to the commandos was given when he stated that all the equipment was put ashore in six days of “hard work” whereas it took eight- een days with cranes and docks to load the convoy at England. Another leave and more training and then they went south stopping at west port, Africa, where there was nothing but a _ fueling base and “real Africa” such as one reads of in books. The next stop was Rhodesia, which is a “White Man’s Paradise”. Here the color line is drawn very sharply, “coffee and cream” or white and black The blacks do all the physical labor and servants are plentiful. The four days ashore they were treated like members of the families in whose houses all of the Canadian boys (200 In all) were welcomed and they were given a wonderful time. Pushing north, they came to Aden, which was so dry as it hadn't rained for seven years. Here the British government gives a man credit fora years service if he can stay six months but few can stay long, as itis a sagreeable a place to live. On northward to Suez, where they practiced Manouevers with the army in preparation for Sicily. On a leave to Cairo he went to see the great pyr- amids and Sphinx, which were very great and most interesting. The main corrider of the larger pyramid is lined up with the pole star. Shortly after this they were inspect: ed by General Montgomery who is very unassuming and no one would know his high office except by recog- nizing him from his pictures or from the fact that he wears two hat badges. Montgomery addressed the Comman- dos and said, ‘You are going back to England, (loud cheers), through France-” Next came Sicily which was un. pleasant due to rough seas which up- set many intestinal tracts. The landing was only 15 minutes, sharp fighting on the beach and the commandos only stayed 14 hours be: fore leaving. Malta, Algiers and Oran and _ then back to England (with Italian prison- ers). During successive leaves of 5 to 14 days he was able to see a few “gold braids” and wangled a leave home to Canada of 51 days. Coming home on Corvettes was rough sailing but after 16 drafts and 43 ships he was mighty glad to be home. He says the boys overseas want letters from home and Canadian cig- arettes. The Strathmore Standard, which has been sent to all the boys overseas, is greatly appreciated and is just like a news letter from home.

In 1942-43 more than 126,000 persons vis- ited Banff National Park alone, and the figures for this year are holding up surprisingly well. About 25 or 30 per cent are men and women from the Armed Forces, including many airmen from Great Britain and the other Do- minions. Such visits should have an important effect in promoting interest in the national parks in some other countries withing the British Common- wealth, and also in the United States. It is apparent that due to war-time conditions a great desire for travel and change is being dammed up which will express itself with the return of peace. Before the present restrictions came into effect the national parks “were receiving more than a _ million visitors each year. It may be expect- ed that the demand for recreation and travel after the war will be greater put enough @ THE STANDARD — STRATHMORE @ The Minister of Finance of the Dominion of Canada offers for public subscription $1.200,.000.,000 Fifth VICTORY LOAN Dated and bearing interest from Ist November 1943, and offered in two maturities, the choice of which is optional with the subscriber, as follows: 15 years and 2 months 3% Bonds Due Ist January 1959 Callable in or after 1956 Interest payable lst January and July Bearer denominations, $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $25,000 Issue Price: 100% Principal and interest payable in lawful money of Canada; the principal at any agency of the Bank of Canada and the interest semi-annually, without charge, at any branch in Canada of any Chartered Bank, excepting that the first interest payment on the 3% Bonds will be for Fully-Paid Subscriptions—Subscriptions for either or both maturities of the loan may be paid in full while the lists are open at the issue price in each case without accrued interest.
