Hutchins! Hutchins! grand and fair!The only School we serve;

For thee till death we'll do and dare,And nought can make us swerve.

Refrain:

Let your voices ring, lads!'Tis the old School's due:

Sing her praises, sing, lads---Hutchins! Hutchins! tried and true.

Thy name adown the ages pastThy sons salute and cheer;

And so shall we while life cloth last,With lips and lives revere.

We learn rhine ivied tower beneatkTo play the game of life,

And know they only win the wreathWho strive in honour's strife.

May all thy sons prove ever true,\Vhate'er their gifts and powers,

That man may yield to thee thy clue,Beloved School of ours.

Words by J,W, BethuneMusic by J. Scott-Power

POETRY is the expression of emotionconceived by intense feeling. Not only

is it the result of the state of mind of thepoet but also the key to that of the reader,the aim being completed when these areidentical. Thus, written poetry, from be-ing an end in itself, becomes a means tobring one personality to the same emo-tional standpoint as another.

Nothing is so wayward or diverse ashuman fancy. Moods, cross-sectioned withdiffering shades of feeling, are rarely re-captured. Poetry, the interpretation ofthese feelings, is equally varied, the worksof one poet, even when appearing to havebeen written in exactly similar moods,having each a subtle difference to oneanother so that the unhindered mind,following the train of thought, changeswith the changing emotion. No mind,however, can be said to be unhindered,external circumstances never being com-pletely forgotten, and the grafted sensa-tion must compete with the natural—com-plete harmony only being establishedwhen these are working in conjunction, orwhen the one is capable of submergingitself in the other.

Not only is the mature mind foreverchanging in itself, but also in its differentstages of development, persons of lesserintelligence remaining at one of the lo'werlevels. The child, not yet appreciating themedium of verse, is stirred by "TheCharge of the Light Brigade" and fasci-nated by the regularity of Southey andCowper, so maddening later in life. Theman of action, perhaps despising poetry,yet feels a bond of interest with Browningand the cultured cynic, remote and secure,sneers at the world with Pope and Dryden.

Thus, poetic or artistic union is effectedby sympathy and a unity of ideals.

When the first delight at finding Shelleyhas faded, youth turns to the "carvenimageries" of Keats. Too young to haveperfected his work as a whole, he infuseda spirit of enchantment throughout hispoetry, each picture standing out with theclearness of personal experience, held to-gether by an unreal magic, "drows'd withthe fume of poppies."

Perhaps the most loved lines in theEnglish language are those in the openingpassage of the "Eve of Saint Agnes"

where the frost lies like crystal on the verywords:

"The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold;The hare limp'd trembling through the trozen

grass;And silent was the flock in woolly fold."

Keats was a poet of colour; weaving richpatterns, ruby-like in their vividness. Un-like Wordsworth, immersed in his pan-theistic gospel, the goal, to him, was theroad - he was concerned, not with themoral significance of nature, as the LakePoet, nor with doctrine, as Shelley was,but with the "truth of imagination" thathas its life and assurance in the breath-taking beauty of his every line.

"The carved angels ever eager-eyed,Stared, where upon their heads the cornice rests,With hair blown back and wings put cross-wise

on their breasts."

Although Keats was so thoroughly aromanticist, his work gives promise to the -suggestive influence that revolutionizedworld art half a century later. Behind thewords there lies a depth of feeling that isneither joyful nor melancholy, but is amerging of all sensations into one. Theword "darkling," used in "Eve of SaintAgnes" and "Ode to a Nightingale," isan example of this ability to mould ameaning about a word so that not onlythe word, but the poetic feeling behind it,wholly independent of the meaning, strikethe same chord.

"Darkling, I listen .....The intensitylowers, a modulation of emotional tone toa minor key, brought about not by theform but the feel of the word.

In barely five years of writing, JohnKeats established a reputation that willpossibly over-reach that of any of his con-temporaries. Passionate and redolent ofrich detail, his work is the quintessence ofthat inner life that is unaffected by thehappenings of the stark world outside.

In the recent oral tests conducted bythe Alliance Française the following boyswere prize-winners: A. D. Dargaville, R.Smith, D. K. Dargavqle, J. D. Muir andI. Giblin. Many of our boys did very welland were placed high in the lists, spe.cially R. Wilson-Haffenden, G. Sheil,E. A. Parkes, P. C. Brothers, Ron Smithand P. McCabe.

We should like to congratulate theseboys and also to thank Madame J. Huttonand Mr. G. Inglis for kindly conductingdictation tests at the School.

An outline of the history of the Queen'sCollege A. A. Stephens MemorialScholarship was given by Mr. A. R.Hewer, who, accompanied by Mr. H. C.Smith, another member of the Queen'sCollege Old Boys' Committee, was presentat assembly on 27th November. Mr.Hewer paid a fine tribute to Mr. A. A.Stephens, the Headmaster of Queen'sCollege, who joined the staff of Hutchinsat the time of the merging of the twoschools,

Next day we were honoured by the visitof Dr. G. H. Cranswick, formerly Bishopof Gippsland and now Chairman of theAustralian Board of Missions. BishopCranswick, who is the brother of ourVisitor, spoke of the fine service the peo-ple of New Guinea had rendered in thepresent war. He appealed strongly to ouryouth not only to enter the Church tohelp these people, to whom we owed somuch, but to serve as doctors, engineersand administrators. Photographs fromthe Department of Information were onview, and aroused much interest.

LADY CLARK

LADY CLARK, the wife of His Excel-lency the Governor, Sir Ernest Clark,

died, after a short illness, on Tuesday, 5thSeptember. The whole State mourned thepassing of a very noble and gracious lady,and peopie from all parts of the Stateand all walks of life attended the verymoving service in the Cathedral on the7th September.

The School holds the memory of LadyClark very dear. She was a constant visitorto the School on official occasions, andtook a lively interest in its activities, notonly on these official visits, but at alltimes. We shall miss her greatly. Mes-sages of sympathy were sent to Sir Ernestfrom the Board of Management, theHeadmaster, staff and boys.

MR. B. B. UNWIN

The sudden deuth of Mr. Ernest EwartUnwin on Wednesday, 20th September,came as a seere blow to all interested ineducation, and to all connected with theAssociated Public Schools in particular.For twenty-one years Mr. Uriwin wasHeadmaster of the Friends' School, andthe fine reputation of the School was duein no small measure to his influence. Buthe did more than contribute to his ownschool's welfare: he was one of the driv-

18th August a number of boys ofthe School attended the inaugural

meeting- of the Junior R.S.P.C.A. As aresult a branch of the Junior R.S.P.C.A.was formed within the School, with RossSmith as leader. It is hoped this move-ment will flourish and help to instil in allboys a love and a regard for our nativefauna as well as pets.

A very interesting address,"The Leagueof Nations," was given at assembly onWednesday, 30th August, by Mr. R. F.Boyer, a member of the BroadcastingCommission and a former delegate toGeneva. The American Consul-Generalfor Australia (Mr. L. Spiker) also spokeon the work of the League.

ing forces in the Association of PublicSchools in Tasmania, and we of the otherschools will miss.him greatly.

In the field of education his energy wasunbounded. He was a member of theUniversity Council, a past president of theFree Kindergarten Association; he was afine broadcaster of educational subjects,particularly in the sciences of botany andzoology; for many years he was the presi-dent of thO New Education Fellowship inHobart, and the secretary of our PublicSchools' Association. But his interestswere much wider. He was an accom-plished artist, and was a vice-president ofthe Art Society. He was a member of theRoyal Society and a former vice-president,and he was one of the founders of theHobart Repertory Society. He was activelyassociated with many movements con-cerned with the welfare of the community,and particularly the youth of the com-munity.

I had the privilege of knowing Mr.Unwin fOr only a little over two years, butin that time, through ciose associationwith him in school and other activities, Icame to know him well and was able toappreciate his versatility, his extraord-inary energy and enthusiasm, and hisvigorous personality. Our deepest sym-pathy goes to Mrs. Unwin and to theFriends' School in their great loss.

The School extends its sympathy toMiss C. Hammond, the curator of theSchool tuck shop, on the loss of heremother, who died on 26th November.

We offer our best wishes to Mrs. Per-kins, who has resigned after having beenSub-Matron foi twelve years. Althoughher resignation was to have taken effect atthe end of the third term, we are gratefulthat she was able to complete the yearwith us, thus relieving the house staff con-siderably.

W/E have had to bid farewell to twomembers of the staff since the last

issue of the Magazine. Mr. Shann hasbeen appointed Headmaster of HamiltonCollege, Victoria, and Mr. Seymour hasresigned owing to ill'health. We wish Mr.Shann every success in his new appoint-ment, and Mr. Seymour a speedy andpermanent recovery. To the new Englishmaster, Mr. J. M. Howard, and to Mr.Seymour's successor in the Junior School,Mrs. Mansfield, we extend a cordial wel-come. We also record our sippreciation ofthe work of Miss W. P. Walter, who cameto the assistance of the Leaving and Inter-mediate French classes during Mr. Hick-man's illness.

Our warm congratulations are extendedto Mr. R.. S. Waring, who this year com-pletes his Silver Jubilee at the School.This long period of service is only ex-ceeded by those of Messrs. H. D. Erwinand T. C. Brammall, who have each beenon the staff in full-time and part-timecapacity for over thirty years. Messrs.R. L. Collings (23 years) and W. J. Ger-lach (21 years) must also be associatedwith this record of long service. We feelthat such devotion to the School is notonly a tribute to these gentlemen but tothe School also.

THE FUTURE OF AVIATION

HE future of air power is being widelydiscussed in newspaper articles, radio

addresses and international conferences.The lessons that mankind is learning fromthe bitter experiences of the war will surelybe taken to heart and applied in a moreconstructive way, and with wider range,after this conflict is over. It is now seenthat flying has possibilities undreamed ofeven as recently as five or six years ago—possibilities that are no longer figments ofthe imagination.

An arresting book on this subject hasjust appeared from the pen of MajorOliver Stewart. An airman of the last war,Editor of the publication "Aeronautics,"and a B.B.C. broadcaster who is oftenheard in Tasmania, Major Stewart issteeped in the subject of commercial andmilitary flying.

The book traces the mechanical deve.lopment of the aeroplane in the past andlooks forward to the use we are likely tomake of it in the future. The author holdsthe opinion that "civilization is trans-port." On foot, by horse, by means ofrailways and then by steamships the worldcommunity expanded. Then the aeroplanecame and threw everything out of scalewith its prodigious innovations of newspeeds and distances. The warring nationswere the blind instruments of this worldchange, a change which was enforced bythe development of human controlledflight. Major Stewart points Out, what isnow obvious to everybody, that mankindmust, after the war, control this machineor be its victim.

The speed of the aeroplane is contin-tially increasing and our author thinksthat soon 500 miles an hour will be a regu-lar thing. This in itself will be a greatachievement, but he views the future withapprehension, and indulges in a dismalprophecy. This expansion of flying, hesays, will open up the world's wealth tointernational man and bring nations to anever increasing extent into competitionwith each other. The world and all that itcontains will be plundered to make moreand more aircraft. Huge communitieslinked together by air lines and radio, and

using these two mighty forces as weaponsof offence, will clash together in hugerwars. Whole nations will be blotted out bythe deadly power of the aeroplane and theflying bomb, and civilization itself mayconceivably perish from the earth.

Such a destiny for the human race isunthinkable. Surely the nations will havelearned a lesson from the dreadful ordealthrough which they are now passing andwill render impossible a catastrophe likethis. Is there not some way of avoidingthis doom? Is there not some means ofbringing countries together on the modelof our own British Empire that wouldmake it as unnatural for, say, Russia tofight America as for Australia to go towar with NeW Zealand? This is the prob-lem that will confront the statesmen ofthe peace loving countries after the war.Oliver Stewart is not, however, sanguineof a solution.

But there is a brighter side to this deve-lopment of aviation. The new world ofair will be open to the individual traveller,the suburbanite, the farmer and thedoctor.

The helicopter is a machine that canrise vertically by airscreWs revolving hori-zontally. Igor Sikorsky has shown thatthis machine can ascend vertically from aspace hardly larger than the diameter ofits rotor. It can rite from land or water orswamp. It can stand still in the air andfly backwards and sideways and alightdownwards at the will of the pilot. Inpost-war times aeroplanes of this type maybecome as common as motor cars are now,and private citizens, even of very modestmeans, will own their Own little machines.

The man or woman who has a fair sizedbackyard or access to a convenient park-ing lot or even the flat roof of a lrgehouse will be able to go out for a fly onSunday afternoons at the leisurely rate of200 miles per hour.

If the nations could agree to foster thisside of aviation and rigidly to control itsdestructive side, thus making the aero-plane a servant and not a master, it wouldbe an important contribution to the main-tenance of world peace.

But Dr. von Koenigswald'sreports to the Carnegie Institute on thenew skulls and jaws that he himself dis-covered show positively that this could notbe true. So many individuals with thesame abnormal skulls could not be ex-pected. The brain capacity of the pithe-canthropus is calculated at between 800and 1,000 cubic centimetres.

approaches, a number of interesting meet-ings have ben held which, generally, werewell attended. All who were present atthe August meeting appreciated the excel-lent address given by Professor C. S. Kingon the importance and uses of libraries.So impressed were members that they arewilling to give every assistance in improv-ing library facilities at the School, andpropose to hold a Fair on 13th April nextwith a reference library as its objective.In this connection a meeting will be heldas soon as school re-opens. Considerationis being given also to the matter of hold-ing a function that might take the placeof the School Party and Dance, whichhave been cancelled.

Library books, as well as extra schoolprizes, provided recently, will no doubtgive the boys additional encouragement.

It is regretted that the matter of pro-viding adequate heating facilities has notprogressed as rapidly as was anticipated.That the work will be carried out duringthe Christmas vacationis the earnest de-sire of every member.

Addresses, which were appreciated,were given on "The Public Service asa Career" by the. Honourable H. S.Baker, M.H.A.. and the CommonwealthPublic Service Inspector (Mr. A. B.Smith) at the final quarterly rneeting on4th December.

HE activities of the Society during thehalf-year have been, of necessity,

limited. It had been proposed to hold aMock Trial, but this was abandoned, notthrough lack of support- but ratherthrough lack of time.

The chief activities during the thirdterm were the Junior House debates.These - were won by Stephens, followedclosely by School. On the whole, thesedebates were marked by great keenness,though audiences, as usual, were veryscanty. As a result of these debates Ben-nison becomes Junior Orator for the year.

LIEUT. R. J. HARRIS

It is with extreme regret that we learnof the resignation of Lieut. R. 3 . Harrisfrom the position of O.C. of the SchoolCadet Detachment. John Harris was aCadet-Lieutenant for two years whilehe was at school. When Mr. Wattsleft at the end of 1942, John volun-teered to take over the command. Thitwas no easy position for one who had justleft school, but he carried out his workso well that the traditional efficiency ofthe Detachment was more than main-tained. For nearly two years the cadetshave been under his command, and thestrength of the Detachment has been thehighest since the old compulsory trainingdays. The School wishes to express its deepappreciation of the fine work Lieut.I larris has done for the cadets.

THE Scout Troop has had a busy half-year and, in spite of the absence on

leave of some of our Seniors, who havebeen concentrating on examination workfor the last three months, some of ourrecruits have made excellent progress.;

We held a four-day indoor camp at theBerriedale camp-site during the Michael-mas holidays—indoors because the wea-ther was most unkind to us, the rain pour-ing down continuously from Friday night

H

till Tuesday morning. We were very gladto have the shelter of the Army huts, witha dry kitchen for the cooks. Although wewere unable to do much outside work, wegot through a lot of practical work in-doors and all had quite a good time. Thevisitors on the Sunday afternoon were"deeply affected" by the hot scones whichour cooks provided for afternoon tea.

We were again successful in winning theDistrict Scouts Athletic Shield from a

large field. after a very close contest withthe 6th Hobart Troop. Dargavilie 1,Sheil i, Shelton and Jack ii were out-standing for 3rd Hobart. Our friends,Bunty Inglis of 1st Derwent, and CharlieDobles of 10th Hobart, gave us a fewthrills irs the musical cycles event, buteach time when we expected Charlie tobe overwhelmed by the weight of oppos-ing armour he managed to avoid thecharging mammoth, and finally won theevent.

At the Scout Fair and Exhibition theTroop also held its own, the work - inpioneering and camp-craft sections parti-cularly—being well up to standard. Noneof us, however, is satisfied with the generalstandard of our work, and we are deter-mined to make a much better display nexttime. Our Scout den, in a small portableroom on one side of the hall, was one ofthe main attractions of the show, and ourtrophies of the chase and of the race,photographs, native weapons and curioscreated much interest. Unfortunately, wewere unable to show the work of those

'W7E have concluded a most successfulyear, having won the Bethune Shield.

Many of the inter-House contests havebeen strenuous and close. However, dueto the abundant talent in the House wemanaged to win a substantial number ofthem,

In the "A" division we won the Swim-ming, Football, Rowing, and StandardAthletics, Our main adversary was Buck-land House, who also won four of theevents,

We also operated a Lucky Flying Foxon which a large model aeroplane, carrying lucky parcels, was transported fromgallery to gallery across the hall.

In addition to our frequent visitors,Shorty Cox and Minty Johnson, we re-cently had the pleasure of welcoming oldScouts Atkinson and Warlow-Davies, whohave many thrilling tales to tell of hair-breadth 'scapes by air and sea.

At the excellent signalling school heldat Berriedale during the long week-end inNovember, four of our Scouts attendedand "Little Minty" Johnson passed hisfirst-class test; the others passed in pro-cedure, but need to develop more speed.

During the first week of the Christmasholidays we expect to camp on the Pages'property at Plenty, and we wish to thankMr. Page for making us welcome.

This victory was gained by the keennessof only a majority of the House, and ifwe are to do our best next year the lazierboys should resolve now to mend theirways.

Half-way through the year we lost Mr.Shann, and are pleased to welcome as ournew House master 14r. 3. M. Howard.

but owing to a slight lack of enthusiasmwe only filled third place in the Juniorgrade.

We offer our heartiest congratulationsto Stephens on their good all-round effort.

In all, we were successful in winningthe Cricket, Athletics, Tennis, Cross-Country and Debating in the "A" grade,and the Cross-Country in the "B" grade.

Rifle shooting was held again this year,but we had to be content with second placeas "the farmers" lived up to their reputa-tion. Congratulations to School on win-ning both divisions of "the shoot."

Standard Athletics were completed inthe fourth term, but considerable diffi-culty was experienced in getting some ofthe boys to attend, Consequently, our re-sults were not up to expectations.

In the Rowing, although well repre-sented, we were unable to hold off thechallenge of the other Houses.

Congratulations to Stephens on theirdouble victory.

Taken as a whole, Bucks have reallyhad quite a successful year, and those ofus who are leaving look to our Housemates to continue the struggle for sup-remacy next year, and wish them the bestof luck.

SCHOOL House has had another un-successful year in the field, although

we have done better during the last termthan we did in the preceding terms. Oureffort, however, came too late, and againwe filled the last place in the "A" divi-sion. In "B" division we had a much bet-ter all-round team and managed to securesecond place. In the aggregate, the mar-gin by which our "B" team won theirsecond place was not sufficient to lift usout of last position.

We had expected to hold our own inStandard Athletics, but too many of ourboys failed to qualify and we were last in"A" division and second in "B."

In Football we had a few very goodplayers, but they did not get the neces-sary support from the remainder of our"A" team; but we were fortunate in hav-ing a good "B" ream, ably led by Dick1km, which defeated both of our oppo-nents.

In the "A" grade Tennis we were easilybeaten by Stephens, but our games againstBuckland were more evenly contested. In"B" grade we were much weaker than theother two Houses.

Again we must congratulate Stephens,who won both divisions of the Rowing.Although we had no member of theSchool Four in our first crew, we man-aged to fill second place in the "A" gradeand were unfortunate in losing the "B"race through disqualification. Through amisupderstanding, our crew, which rowedvery well indeed, took the wrong course.

The "B" division Cricket m.atches wereplayed this term, and our team was suc-cessful in both its games. Ikin's free scor-ing gave us the match against Stephens,and our defeat of Buckland was largelydue to the elegant batting of Duncan.

There is. however, something that wecan do quite well, and we are all pleasedto be able to congratulate our Shootingteams on a very fine performance. The"A" team, with two "possibles" to Agnewand Ransom, scored 156 out of 160, andthe "B" team 146. We hope that next yeara little more of this skill and "applica-tion" may be shown in our other sports.

We congratulate Buckland and Stephenson their success in the competitions, andwe hope to give them both a much harderbattle next year.

HOLES

HOLES, taken on the whole, holy orunholy, could be generally described

as nothing surrounded by something.Holes can be found almost anywhere -in our socks, under the desk, over thegarden wall in fact, wherever there isan aperture there is a hole. Fishing netscontain an abundance of holes strungtogether with string. Such holes as thesemay be expanded or contracted at amoment's notice, and even wrapped upand put in your fishing bag if the occa-sion arises.

Then there was the story of the C.D.L.men who were filling in slit trenches.When they had finished the job there wasa huge pile of earth left over, thus ren-dering it a blot on the landscape. Oneof these brainy civil administrators imme-diately put forward the suggestion of dig-ging a large hole and placing the un-wanted dirt therein. This just goes toshow how useful these things can be in adifficult situation.

I remember a man who earned a for-tune by making holes for farmers to puttheir fence-posts in. Naturally, hecharged a reasonable price as he couldmake several hundred of these per day.

I think the price for these time-savingdevices was threepence a hole and four-pence for gate-post holes, which weremuch bigger. I recommend this profes-sion to anyone who is really good at put-ting holes in his socks, as he would haveno trouble at all right from the start.

Unfortunately, I can only touch on thesubject of holes. Maybe later I will produce a volume in ten chapters wherein Ishall describe the various types of holes,large and small, which exist in the worldtoday. To round off, let me mention oneimportant hole of interest to all. Thishole will be found in the Hutchins SchoolMagazine unless this essay is published.In this case I am sure the Editor will con-descend to fill up my hole with a noticereading:

THOSE PEOPLE NEXT DOORWVTHEN we first heard they were coming

to live next door, there was indigna-tion in our home, and in the homes nearto us. Our locality was noted for its"respectability," and it was felt that thenewcomers would be a "blot on the , neigh-bourhood." My tather was particularlybitter. "Can't stand foreigners! Surelythere's some land down the hill that theycould buy." My mother's opinions weiegentler, but she, too, thought the strangerswould be "unsuitable." I was biassed fromthe start and thought the same as myparents. The unfortunate fact was thatthe people who were coming to live,nextdoor were Chinese. "Probably market gar-deners!" snorted my father.

The newcomers arrived. With my eye toa hole in the fence I discovered that therewas a man and his wife, and a small boyof about my own age. My first introduc-tion to the boy was when I climbed Ontothe fence for a better view. He was sit-ting on a box, carving something out of apiece of wood. I called out, jeeringly,"Ching, chong, Chinaman!" He turnedmy way and looked at me with steady eyes—so steady that I began to feel very un-comfortable. He was quite still and silent.Then I saw his queer almond eyes slowlyfill with tears which rolled down hischeeks. He bit his lip - but still he kepthis tear-filled eyes towards me. I jumpedquickly from the fence; I was ashamed ofmyself. I did not know why, but I knewI had hurt something I did not under-stand.

I saw the father after, hurrying alongthe Street. He looked very business-like,and always appeared to be on someerrand of importance. He was certainlyno "vegetable gardener," as father hadfirst expected. Through my hole in thefence I often watched him with his son,and rather envied the happy comradeshipthey seemed to have together. He spentmuch of his time at home with his wifeand son.

The mother I did not see until one dayI had to go to their door to ask if I mightlook for a ball which I had lost over thefence. I can still remember the sight thatmet my eyes when the door opened. Shewore a long, strangely embroidered housegown, with long jade ear-rings, and Iknow that her hair was arranged withoriental attractiveness. But it was hersmile and her friendliness that held mespellbound. I thought I had never seenanyone so beautiful before. I just stoodand stared.

"What can I do for you, little boy?"I stammered that my ball was lost, and

asked if I might find it.

"Of course," she said, and together wehunted the lost bail, and I was lost in adaze . love at first sight - for this beau-

Ful foreigner.

Fortunately, the opinion in the neigh-urhood had completely changed. My

:oher no longer snorted about "thosepeople next door," and I was encouragedto become friendly wit the boy Li. Ihave never- had a truer friend; and Ioften wonder where he is now.

I will never forget the first evening intheir home. I do not know what I ex-pected to find, but I remember most theatmosphere of warmth and welcome. Agenuine friendship grew up between usall, and "those people next door" dis-appeared for ever.

Today. I think of those past years, andthe forming of the friendship with the"newcomers" next door. And I think,too, of our great next-door neighbour,China. Have we not in the past been in-clined to think of her as a land of "mar-ket gardeners"? As with "those peoplenext door," we are beginning to under-stand her, and to measure her worth. AsI learned as a child to accept a familyfrom this great land, so we as a countryare beginning to accept . China, and itmust be partly our task to see that shetakes her place in the fellowship of

nations. The incident of the past, on a fargreater scale, is to be tested again; and itshould-prove true of two great countries,as it did of two families. The people nextdoor have a claim to our understandingand friendship. They are part of God'suniverse, and we must help them tooccupy their rightful place in the world.

.ALTHOUGH the word "commando" iscomparatively modern, the actions

which are represented are as old as man-kind. Let us first consider the most ancientof commandos and their development intowhat we modern races call "shock troops."The first troops of this - nature whichdirectly concern our British race were theRoman landings in 55 and 54 B.C. Cae-sar, with his huge landing barges, ap-proached sandy coves on the south- coastof Britain. This invasion fleet which drewnear the multi-colour-ed coastline thet withopposition which was not so difficult forthe average Roman infantryman to en-dure; for the most part they were used tothe bafbaric warriors with hairy bodies,and faces and limbs painted in hideouscolours. Then methods of fighting weremuch the same as those of thf Gauls wholived just across the straits. But evenwith those things to strengthen their -morale, their task was indeed difficult; toland on a strange coast, to fight their wayinland, through treachet-ous marshes,such actions needed -heroism. TheseRoman bock troops were armed withswords -- i javelins. The sword was short—abou: .-. a ct long—straight, and dou-ble Thus it was more used forstabbin t :'an slashing or parrying. Thejavelin was rather more than six feet inlength, some four feet consisting of theiron head and hollow socket into whichthe wooden shaft was fixed. The weight ofthis weapon was about ten pounds, andit could be thrown from thirty to fortyyards. Their manoeuvres were ingenious:they relied mainly on the solidness andresource of their infantry.

The invasion of the Saxons need notbe discussed, as the way in which thenAngles, Saxons and Jutes invaded was notin the true "commando" style. It was notuntil later, in , the time of Alfred theGreat, that the science of war was re-born.Alfred cunningly spied on his enemies,

98th ANNIVERSARY OF THEFOUNDATION OF THE

SCHOOL

3rd August, 1944

The programme this year was well car-ried out. We were fortunate enough tohave the Bishop; to address us at boththe Cathedral Service and the AnnualLuncheon, and his words, whilst arousing

matches were played against the Schoos,resulting in wins for the Old Boys' teams.

HUTCHINS OLD BOYS' LODGEThe fourteenth Annual Picnic was

given to the children of the ClarendonHome last December. As usual, it washeld at Brown's River and a very happyafternoon was spent, highlights beinggames on the beach, a treasure hunt, icecreams and, of course, a bountiful repast.

After a lapse of two years, owing towar conditions, the Annual Cricket Matchwith Lodge Rechab was held in April.After a most, enjoyable game, our teamwas successful, largely due to the goodbatting of the Headmaster and Mr. Ger-lach.

The Annual Installation was held inJuly, when Bro. J. Z. Bidencope was in-stalled in the Chair of King Solomon byRt. Wor. Bro. John Lord, assisted byGrand Lodge officers.

Official visits have been exchanged withour daughter Lodge, Old Grammarians,whilst forthcoming visits during theChristmas vacation will be to GlenoraLodge and Derwent Valley Lodge. Also,in November an official visit was receivedfrom the recently-formed Past Masters'Association.

Our membership now stands at 69, ofwhom 22 are on, or have returned from,active service.

As a mark of appreciation of hisser-vices to the Lodge since its foundation,V. Wor. Bro. R. S. Waring was unani-mously elected a Life Member at theJanuary meeting.

Under the newspaper caption "Bishop'sSon Keeps Watch on Japs," the followingrecently appeared:

"Flying unarmed fighters, relying solelyon height and speed for protection againstJapanese fighters, and often photograph-ing through heavy anti-aircraft fire, Aus-tralian photographic reconnaissance pilotsare helping to keep watch on Japanesemovements in Burma and Siam.

"One Spitfire squadron, half of whosepilots are Australian, operates over dis-tances greater than from London to Ber-lin, which it claims is a record for a single-engined photo reconnaissance unit.

"One of its members is F/Officer G. G.Blackwood, of Hobart, who is known tosquadron as 'Bish,' because his father isBishop of Gippsland."

On a recent visit to Hobart, Sq./Ldr.Cohn Butler told some of his overseaexperiences to members of the HobartLegacy Club.

Capt. R. H. Radchiff, son of Mr. C. F.Radcliff. of Sandy Bay, is probably thefirst Tasmanian in the Allied invasionarmies who has crossed onto German soil.

In an airgraph letter to his fatherwritten "from German soil," he statedthat his unit was the fitst part of theBritish Army which entered Germany,and he was the only Tasmanian in theunit.


was the mid-upper gunner, George Heath,also an Aussie. We have both been toge-ther since Canada.

"We had a few close shaves, as the placewas crowded with Jerries.. At one stage wewere sleeping in the next room to threeGerman S.S. officers. They were there fortwo days and nights. They left in themorning, so we thought we would be ableto breathe freely for a while, but, as luckwould have it, a Gestapo officer came inlate in the afternoon demanding to be putup for the night, so we had three days andnights in one room talking in whispers.It was a bit of a strain, but we got awaywith it.

"We had one little experience whichamused us a bit. One of the Germanofficers got a violin off one of the boys inthe house, and played it for two or threehours. Little did he know that he wasentertaining parachutists in the nextroom.

"We had been behind Jerry lines fornine weeks when the boys came throughand liberated us. I've never been so happyin all my life, and I can honestly say thatI have never seen people as happy as theFrench.

"Before we were shot down, e didn'thave too much time for the French peo-pk, but now that I have lived with themI'll take my hat off to them. They aredoing a great job, and doing it well, eventhough they are running a terrible risk.If it had not been for them, there arethousands of chaps who would have beencaught."

L.A.C. Brian Simmonds:Canada

"Lake Louise itself is just like a pieceof glass dropped into the little hollow be--tweers great towering masses of snow-covered rock; round the lake side thereare small mountain fir trees, but furtherup the slopes these give way to the barerock, and all the peaks and ridges arebare. At the top end of the lake there is

.a gap between the mountains, and throughthis the Victoria Glacier appears. Thisglacier actually feeds the lake, along withthe snow water from the surroundingpeaks, which are always snow-capped.

'All these peaks and the glacier arereflected perfectly in the lake, and in onephoto, taken from the weir at the lowerend, it is almost impossible to tell which-way the photo should be held; the only

give away is a small piece of wood whichstuck up into the bottom corner of thesnap!

'Unfortunately, we didn't have enoughtime to climb up to the Valley of TenPeaks, about two hours' climb - from thechateau, and a simply wonderful sight soI am told. You climb up between twopeaks through a sort of canyon, passingseveral tiny lakelets tucked away in littlefolds in the hillside and looking just likemirrors glued onto the hillside and heldin position by the mountain firs.

"Just before entering the canyon onelooks back across and into the Lake LouiseValley, down over the Lakes in the Clouds—the little ones I have just described—and in each is reflected the snow-cappedpeaks across the valley, and at the lowerend the great Chateau with its brilliantsplashes of colourful gardens and theLouise Creek (or river, it's called overhere) running out and round the back ofthe Chateau to career off down the steephillside and, after many cascades andsteep falls, eventually find its way into theBow River, which runs past Calgary whereit is about the size of the Derwent atPlenty, into the Saskatchewan River andso to Hudson Bay after a journey of sev-eral thousand miles.

"Passing through the canyon, we comeout in a narrow valley thickly wooded andclosed- in by towering mountain sides, wekeep on climbing up past another smallstream and emerge from the timber at theedge of a small lake, while on every sidethere are great towers of rock and snowreaching thousands of feet above us andthreatening to plunge down into the nar-row basin below. This is the Valley of theTen Peaks, of which I have one phototaken from some distance away but whichwill give you some idea of the scene.

"We finally tore ourselves away andleft Lake Louise, passing on the way out'Deer Lodge,' now doing a roaring tradeas the Chateau has been taken over by theArmed Forces for use as a hospital orconvalescent depot and at present isempty. 'Deer Lodge' should be spelt 'DearLodge' by reason of its tariff, so I am toldby some people who've been staying there.They're certainly making hay while thesun shines!

"We got back to Banff at about 6 p.m.,having stopped at Johnston's Canyon forabout ten minutes for a snack. We didn'thave time to go up to the top, but evi-dently didn't miss very much.

"That evening I went to a 'weiner roast.'I'm not sure if I described it to you in thelast letter or no. Anyway, here goesagain.

"We (I was with the baggage party)left Banff in a very ancient roadsterFord 'A,' I think - and chugged aboutthree miles Out along the river road to aspot below the Bow River Falls wherethere's a sort of beach at the foot of a

-cliff and almost opposite the Banff SpringsHotel—also closed up—of which I thinkI sent a snap.

"Well, we got all the stuff, bottles ofdrink (soft), bread rolls, weiners (save-loys on a small scale), large numbers ofhamburgher steaks and rolls, doughnuts,chocolate royal biscuits - there's no foodshortage in Canada worth mentioning! -and frying pans, etc., down to the beach.It was easy enough, had boxes and putthe stuff in and let go - it would slidedown to the bloke below, who would holdit until we got lcner down, and then slidea bit further. The last step being an al-most sheer drop of about 20 feet, wethrew the bpttles and paper parcels downand they were caught below and piledsafely. Only two bottles burst during thewhole proceeding, so we didn't do toobadly!

"The last of the bottles were just goingover when the foot party arrived. It wasvery good timing, so we all set to gather-ing fuel for the fire. It was a huge oneand nearly drove us off the beach - wecouldn't get within ten feet of it when itwas well alight, and had to wait nearlyan hour before cooking our supper - thehamburghers in the frying-pan and theweiners—in the usual saveloy fashion athome—on forked sticks.

"After supper we sat round the fireand sang—or howled—until about teno'clock, when we left to go home.

"The baggage party drove off in thcar—I drove—and we went up to the topof a small mountain at the back of therown, where we had the most wonderfulview of the town with its rows of neonlights and strings of coloured lightsdraped through the fir trees lining thestreets. - It looked like a fairy - town downthere with the mountains sharply outlinedagainst the evening sky."
