For when the bells and whistles set up their cacaphony it was more than the traditional New Year's noise—II was a tribute to a year of trial which brought a new sense of strength and ability to sttnd up to the worst; and il was i greeting to another year bringing new accomplishments and new hope baaed upon performances of the put year. Throughout the watchnight service! tt seven Nelson churches, throughout the four gay dances and Ihe midnight frolics at the Civic Theatre, throughout house parties in hundreds of istrict homes, this feeling persisted—that 1940 might have been a "tough" year in many respects, but a worthwhile one; and lhat 1041 offered much. While the passing of the old year and the arrival of the new took many Nelsonites to services for prayer and worship; others literally "took off the lid" in their merrymaking.

Pigging Butter Price Protested MONTREAL, Dec. 31 (CP). - The Montreal Provision Trades Association has protested to Trade Minister MacKinnon against the peg- f;lng of wholesale butter prices at Bvels in effect Dec. 12. The announcement was made simultaneously with the release of a letter to Mr. MacKinnon, in which K. H .Olive said: "The members of this Association are very much disturbed over the action of your Board in pegging the butter prices on Dec. 27 at the levels prevailing two weeks ear Her on Dec. 12. The application of a ruling to make prices retroactive is at all times and under all circumstances a most vicious principle particularly where legitimate business practice is involved, and they fail to understand the reason or justice for this unexpected action." OTTAWA, Dec. 31 (CP). - The Wartime Prices and Trade Board is convinced its policy of fixing the price of butter will, in the long run, work to the advantage of producers as well as consumer,. Hector MacKinnon, Chairman, said today. The Board, said Mr. MacKinnon g.ve long and careful consideration before acting in the butter situation and took Into account the interests nf the farmers as well as those of the consumers.

Stephen Early, the President'!; press secretary, said it would seem logical to him for Mr. Roosevelt to talk about the proposal at that time He added, however, that he did not think the President had decided whether to go into it in detail or only in a general way, leaving details for submission later. At any rate, he said, the entire proposal will go before Congress soon after the start of the session January 3 Early discussed Mr. Roosevelt's message at a press conference. He said that the chief executive had not yet started writing it and that undoubtedly he would confer with congressional leaders before he personally delivers it to a Joint session of the Senate and the House. Reporters at the conference asked Early for his views on an editorial suggesting that various committees interested in aid to the Allies for keeping America out of war disband in the interest of national unity and reform into an agency wholeheartedly behind the President. Early replied that he hoped the idea "is contagious." Messages of reaction to the Sunday night speech still were pourine in. Early said. He intimated that that address might tie In with the annual message. There were some things, he said, which the chief executive could not crowd into his radio talk and ideas were left over that might "very usefully be included in the message to Congress."

Hitler Boasts About the Great 1941 Victory pl MaiTHlW I BERLIN, Dee. 81 (AP). - In a boastfully-worded yetr-end order of the dty, Hitler today declared "the year 1941 will bring completion of Ihe greatest victory of our' hlitory." Victory will come, the Fuehrer declared, becauie Germany stands "armed ai never before." "It it the will of the democratic war inciters and their Jewish-capitalistic wirepullers that the war must be continued," he asserted. Hitler made no mention in his message of President Roosevelt's Sunday night speech calling for increased war aid to Britain. In an Impassioned New Year's message to National Socialists (Nazis), Hitler said Germany fights for her rights against a vast coalition of democracies, capitalists and Jews who seek to destroy the Reich. He said "Providence, in a year ol extraordinary accomplishment, shielded Germany from a conspiracy of scorn and hatred." Hitler denied that Germany or Italy would attempt to conquer the world. On the contrary, ''World- conquering nations declared war on Germany,'' he said. The message to the army was Issued in the form of an order of Uie day, which follows: "Soldiers! "In the war year of 1940 the National Socialist armed forces of the Greater German Reich won the most glorious victories of unparalleled greatness. "With unequalled audacity the enemy was defeated on land, at sea, in the air. "All tasks which I was compelled to demand of you were accomplished by your heroic courage and your soldierly ability. "You have conquered the fighting forces of our opponents through the power of arms but conquered morally territories taken possession of by you through your proud conduct and exemplary discipline. "Thus, thanks to your soldierly qualities, we succeeded in a few months of world historic struggle In giving success supplementarily to the vain, heroic fight ot the Gtr- victory ln tteadfatt belief In the future of Greater Germany.

Hitler said that tt far back at 1933 opponent! employed every meant to hinder Nazi aspirations. "Internal hate" wat manifested not only against German goods, ht added, but against the German people and "democratic papers even in the smallest lands" regarded it as their privilege "to scold the greatest middle European power, insult tmpttng. 4AY 1670 New Year's Day STORE CLOSED Watch This Space Thursday With the arrival in England of the eighth contingent of Canadian troops, the Second Division, C.A.S.F., is new complete.

But I thank you also in the name of the entire German people. "We remember the comrades who gave their lives in this struggle for the future of our people. We similarly think of the courageous soldiers of Allied Fascist Italy. "It is the will of the democratic war inciters and their Jewish-capitalistic wirepullers that the war must be continued. Representatives of the shattering world hope perhaps in 1941 still to achieve that they failed to achieve in the past "We are ready. "Armed as never before, we stand at the door of the new year. "I know everyone of you will do his duty. The Almighty, however, will not abandon those who, threatened by the world, determined with courageous hearts to help themselves. "Soldiers of the National Socialist armed forces of the Greater Reich, the year 1941 will bring completion of the greatest victory of our history." Hitler's statement was followed by messages to their respective commands from Goering, Commander of the Air Force, Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch, Commander in Chief of the Army, and Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, Commander in Chief of the Navy. Goering boasted that British bombing raids had caused no military damage in Germany and declared the German air force had "fulfilled" Hitler's pledge of "one- hundredfold retaliation. "At present," he told the ' Nazi airmen, "you, besides our naval forces, are the main pillars of the direct fight against England." Von Brauchitsch proclaimed faith of the army in Hitler and declared that "with this faith in him we shall also defeat the last remaining foe." He closed his message with the slogan: "Forward with God for Germany." Raeder's message said the German fleet had "severely shaken England's position ln the world." He expressed the conviction the navy would carry on "with all power and the highest courage to final its leading men, ridicule its government and agitate for military violence against it" Every effort on the part of Germany to be co-operative in the society of nations was "repulsed with cynicism," _|e said, and Germany was exploited by plutocrats. "Characterless emigrants," Hitler went on, "Joined with Jewish parasites who had left the Reich, cast suspicion on the German people and its leadership and thus helped generate a psychosis which tooner or later was bound to lead to war. "For centuries some nations — headed by the English—have carried their wares over the world and robbed with force all they could gather, oppressed and impoverished great peoples totalling millions and. In such manner, built their so-called empires of blood and tears." Hitler recapitulated his "peace offer" to Britain and France oi Oct. 6, 1939, and expressW scorn for "the practices of democratic war criminals" who, he said, label any German peace move as "weakness". Hitler asserted Winston Churchill's "babbling revealed Just in the right hour" that he had designt on Norway so that German counter- measures could be made promptly. Hitler said that if the British contend France stopped fighting unnecessarily, his retort is that the first to give up the battle in the West were the British divisions. "When we attacked, the British army had only one thought which waa to leave the continent as fast as possible, using the Hollanders, Belgians and French to cover their retreat," he asserted. After completion of the action in the West, he said, he appealed again to Britain to "end this senseless war.'' Italian Transport Shi Torpedoed in Adria BELGRADE.

Germany Issued repeated warnings and was taunted with statements that she was incapable of doing likewise..

By HAROLD FAIR (Cantditn Preu Stiff Wrlttr) LONDON, Dec. 31 (CP Cable) — Defeat of the mass daylight bombing raids was described as the outstanding feature of the air war in .1940 by a high Royal Air Force source today. "There ls no doubt that 1940 has given the day bomber a sensibly diminished horizon," the source asserted ln reviewing a year In which British fighters triumphed over immense odds as the Germans beat at the island. Looking ahead he saw the Empire air scheme producing impressive results. The policy has been to transform many graduates into In structors. He pointed out that if the R.A.F. took graduates from Canada immediately they completed the course it would mean a bigger air force for a few months but no permanent ascendancy. TVrefore the authorities have followed the policy of putting back the profit into the business so the business will expand." Dunkerque, he said, was the first check on the German bombers which had had things their own way in Poland and Holland once the defenders were overwhelmed. The breathing space following Dunkerque enabled Britain to replenish losses suffered there. When the Battle of Britain started, the de fenders were retdy.. The officer described as "entirely Incorrect" the assertion of Ralph Ingersoll, New York editor, that the British fighter force was stretched almost to the breaking point during the Battle of Britain. He admitted no air force could have fought such a decisive battle without losses. "But at the end of that period we htd expanded our fighting force," he added. "We had more tquadrons operating in the line at she end of the Battle of Britain than at the be ginning." , , That battle broke the invasion threat, but the officer warned ttiat "it (the Invasion) must be regarded for a long time to come as a standing dish in Hitler's menu." He said the R.A.F.'s bombing policy is to hit Germany and Italy hard. He believed the R.A.F. had done more damage to military objectives in Germany than the Nazis have done here.

MEMBER Or THE CANADIAN PRESS AND THE AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCBLATIONS. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1941. A YEAR FOR CANADA'S UTMOST EFFORT While the year 1941 has doubtlesa had and will have the usual voci'fe. ous welcome all around the globe, following the aun, a spirit of Ughthear.edi.eM is not the one in . which to view its advent. Canadians should welcome the New Year, but wei- come it as a year of opportunity to glva greater service than ever before. Our resolutions should have reference to a new devotion, to a new consecration to the work before us, that of pulling our utmost weight in the task of defeating a soulless Germany mechanised for war and openly claiming practically world rulership. We are told by British spokesmen that Canada's effort, industrial and otherwise, is one of the absolutely essential elements in the victory to which the Empire, with its Allies, looks forward. Nothing should be left undone that will contribute to victory. Personally, we are all going to be taxed, taxed as never before in our history. It is one of the essentials if victory is to be reasonably priced. To meet the taxes will require some foresight and preparation. We cannot spend prodigally on our private concerns, and have the money we shall need to meet two separate requirements—first, the taxes, and second, the next war low. The war will march a great way in 1941 in the direction of a decision—how far depends in part on us. It will be a year of intense preparation coincident with striking of fearful blows. But tanks must be piled up and piled up", guns must be multiplied and multiplied; planes jj must be turned out endlessly, till there are vast reserves | of them, fully comparable to Germany's, reserves. Muni- aons must be poured into Britain in a never-ceasing stream, irach a stream that extensive losses will have little relative ; effect Canada must be geared for war in every respect. The Kootenay must be geared for war. Nelson, and every community, large or small, must be geared for war. This year will be a year of change as well as a year of effort, a year of realization of the meaning of war participation. And the utmost that Canada can do, in the way of sacrifice, cannot compare with the sacrifice heroically made by Britain. The British example is an inspiration to everyone in whose veins runs the blood of free men. THIS NEW YEAR Invariably the New Year raises the question of our ultimate destiny. Before us stretches the chasm of uncertainty. Uncertainty of events, and often of purpose. Living in a world where issues are confused and values constantly changing, it is necessary to tear ourselves away from patterned thinking and for each individual to find peace and a feeling of stability which can come only when ideals and circumstances are reconciled. With conflict surging around, it is more vital than ever that we should develop this stabilising force to serve as a check against the emotional strain to which the world is being subjected. And this stabilization can emanate only from the individual. A new year should find us with the courage to examine our past mistakes, to change our preconceived opinions, and with sufficient faith in ourselves to believe that the new year will leave us stronger and better spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Man's eternal quest"for happiness is confused because the ingredients which would serve to give him happiness in the fullest measure are often discarded as non-essential. Suffering can be fought against, ignored, or accepted. It can be a defeat in itself, or it can be used as a vital force necessary to a balanced existence, and a measure whereby the true values of life are fitted in constant harmony to bring a deep sense of satisfaction to a man's innermost being. War with its frightfulness is bringing to the world a rich, terrible, and wonderful opportunity to evaluate the ideals on which Christianity originally was erected, and to reconsider the accepted methods by which it has been ■* practiced. Out of this war has already arisen courage, consistency, strength, and simplicity, symbolized by England and. her people, which shine as a beacon, not only of ultimate victory for a hard wrought nation, but as an example of how a nation, welded ,by the strength of purpose of each individual into a supreme unity, can show a strength far 'bayond previous human conception. For this purpose is yet another year being granted. A year in which the need for individual courage, individual unselfishness and the exercise of individual strength of ^purpose is urgent.. It is a year in which we may come Hearer to discovering the basic qualities of existence, of finding the true meaning of unutterable and unshatterable peace which has come to men and women who have earned the right of knowledge that material substance never has been and never will be the goal of human happiness. -mvt-vn twin., rearer*, mtvrtww. th ii, uttmttm immiviiq .ni., THUMBS UP"! 1, !»*. a.- i.i i ' CONTRACT... __ annul. oohv_-nt_on 90 ooimtmoN u more pnerelly accepted tmong flat playen than thtt devlltd ntirly ltn yetrt tgo by Theodore A.

C. ■WBMBBBBBW&B& RON NEWELL ANN AMBROSE JOHN LIVINGSTONE ~_Vp___P___S________1________ .!_____________ Abuse Heaped on Roosevelt Speech; Nazis Say 'Appeals lo Low Instincts' r BERLIN, Dec. 31 (AP)-fhe Ger. mm press, with a nod of content from tht German Government, re itated today a torrent of caustic comment on President Roosevelt'! .latest suggestion to give every pos tible American aid to Britain. With the appearance of explosive editorials on the subject there was evidence on every side of tenting emotions. But at the same time there were loud declarations that Germany would not permit herself to gel unduly excited or allow hertelf to be "provoked". '[here wat i disposition to refer tne whole controversy back to the "conscience of the American people". The attitude was that the United Statei know how Germany feels—and thtt America hat a chance to reflect before the It com- m.lted lo t course more hostile to Germany. Informed toured taid that the p:ess comment, for the preient at least, would constitute Hitler's re- *T to Mr. Roosevelt's Sunday night _/-ech. Before the appearance of afternoon papers, the press attitude was outlined as putting down the Resident's fireside talk Sunday night as "undignified in tone, weak in argu- ent tnd not convincing." In iddition, lt wat said, the talk would be characterized at "an ap peal to the lowest instincts of the American people." The press will tlso use the argument tne President's speech is uninteresting because "American sup- Sirt of England, no matter in what rm it comes, cannot delay—much less prevent—Britain's defeat." The German press at Hitler's behest, it wat learned, will accuse the President of taking certain of the words from Hitler's address on Dec. 10 out of their "socio-political context." The German press, acting on precise instructions will further ex- gret* astonishment that United tates officialdom on the one hind allegedly always tells the American people that Britain as an island is protected and Impregnable, yet President Roasveelt "conjures up" German danger to the United States though an ocean separates the two nations. Mr. Rooeevelt't alleged "co-re- aponsibility" for the start of the war and nit "responsibility for its prolongation" were emphasized by most of the influential German newspapers. In tome quartan, the President was accused of trying to pledge his nation to grave changes of policy before Congress had a chance to weigh every issue. But the fact that in the American Governmental Plan Congress is a backstop which must approve fundamental policies was regarded as a comfort In other quarters Mr. Rootevelt's talk was pronounced "unstatesman- like", while some commentators ■aid he was afflicted with jitters •which caused him to conjure up goblins that don't exist, Repeatedly he was challenged on the score that he had misrepresented German aspirations to the Amer- ' an people. The statement to which German papers took most objection was the charge that Germany and Italy seek world domination. The press echoed an emphatic denial by Hitler himself of any such ambition and asserted the Reich demands only human rights commensurate with its tiz_, power and capacities. The Lokalanzeigcr commented: "Roosevelt is completely partisan, full of hate and astoundingly excited despite the fact that neither Germany, Italy nor Japan ever did anything to Americans. "But Roosevelt's nervousness Is understandable because he sees' the war and its prolongation, for which tit It responsible, are not working out as had been forseen ... the situation of England must be very precarious if the President of the U.SA. ao completely disregards the rules o_ International courtesy." Nachtusgabe made an oblique reference to the President's aasertion that he had information that the Axis can't win the war, saying: "Roosevelt picked words and phrases for his explosions of hate from newspaper articles and books of Jewish emigrants. Probably his 'secret material' concerning developments in the European war come from the same source." The Deutsche Allgemeine Zei- tung said that, after soothing tpeeches during the Presidential . cimpalgn. Mr. Roosevelt "now has ltt tht cat—or to ate hit own form of ipeech, the tiger of war hate- completely out of the bag." Thli newspaper further accused the Pruident of falsifying history by misrepresenting important pointi of Hitler policy. In comment headed "Bad Conscience," Boersen Zeitung uld. "In time before the war Rooievelt wat behind the scenes, an important stage director in a drama of enmity toward Germany." Urges Brain Bank for Present "Dark Age" PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31 (AP).- Establishment of a "brain bank" in the Western hemisphere to preserve the world's learning during the present 'dark age" of civilization was urged today by a United Statet scientist. In an address before the American Association for the Advancement of Science Dr. K. A. C. Eliott of the Institute of Pennsylvania hospital declared countries of the Western hemisphere are faced with the responsibility of .trying on the work of European and Asiatic scientists. Canadian Pilot Rescues Crew oi Italian Plane ATHENS, Dec. 31 (AP)-A Canadian pilot serving with the Royal Air Force in "Greece shot down an Italian seaplane over the Albanian Coast today and described how he dropped a boat to rescue the Italian crew hanging onto the wreckage "When we saw the enemy," the Canadian pilot said, "we dived to attack and quickly silenced the rear gun. I was pumping lead Into him until I wondered what was holding the aircraft up. 'The Cant (Italian aircraft tyne) had to float down but itill wat flying, so I decided to make a final attempt to down 'him. I attacked trom the front and fired till I had to break away to avoid a head-on collision. "As I climbed I saw the aircraft dip a wing Into the sea and then crash. We flew around for a bit and saw two of the crew, one of them waving a handkerchief. Three or four others were lying on the wing. We dropped our rubber dinghy and then returned home." The Canadian's name wai not given. Goebbels Gives New Year Propaganda BERLIN, Dec. 31 (AP)—Propaganda Minister Goebbels uked in a New Year's eve radio address tonight, "whether Churchill and his associates are not engaging in a frivolous jargon to shout down their own fears of things to come?v The Prbpaganda Minister declared that "Schuschnigg boasted agiinst the Reich even raro hours before he was chased out of the Vienna Chancellery. . . .
