THE NEW CANADIAN
Her little chamber is hard by the roof.
Under the star.
When she has climbed the winding stairs
She runs to the slanted windows
And peers down . . . down, to the dusky street below.
Who is that passing swiftly out of the house-door?
Now he is crossing the road by the lamplight yonder.
His face leaps white and is lost in the swallowing darkness.
Out of her skyward’window leaning
She beckons and throws, what he does not see
Her heart like a falling star
It whirls and whirls in the air,
Seeking a home,
then,
finding none sinks cold
and shrivelled to ashes,
a handful of dust in the night.
—Miyo Ishiwata
Joies on Nationality and Citizenship

tinuing post-graduate studies on a fellowship fiom the University of
Toronto).

Life and Tinies in
Wartime Britain
The Wider World
(From Time Magazine)
Shy, pawky, pink-faced Nathan
iel Gubbins lives with his buxom,
red-topped wife, his two daught
ers, and assorted animals in a
cozy house in Surrey which he
calls “The Nest.” Each week, an
army of Britons (including Win
ston Churchill) regularly read Nat
Gubbins’ column “Sitting on the
Fence” in Lord Beaverbrook’s Sun
day Express. There Britain’s most
popular columnist sets out,
through various mouthpiece char
acters (including himself) his of
ten tart, always British comments
on his life and hard times.
Last week, in the wake of the
British Government’s White Paper
(“Statistics Relating to the War
Effort of the United Kingdom”)
Gubbins published a White Paper
of his own: “Statistics Relating to
the War Effort of N. Gubbins,
Esq., his Life Partner, Sally the
Cat, and Six Hens at The Nest.”
Excerpts:
“It may now be revealed that
from September 1939 up to Sept
ember 1944 he has written 520,000
words, all original and all ex
tremely funny, often in the worst
possible circumstances. Sometimes
they have been written with, influ
enza during all-night air raids,
and sometimes with just influenza.
In the winter they have been writ
ten with no coal . . . and in the
summer either, in a cloud of wasps
or (as in the summer of 1944) in
a cloud of wasps and a nonstop
bombardment by flying oombs.
During the raids there was the
ever-present anxiety that the lot al
[pub] had been hit, thus cutting
the last link with civilization. This
anxiety entailed frequent visits to
the locvl to check up on where! the
last bomb dropped, causing a ser
ious loss in man-hours and a vast
expenditure of money which might
have gone into war savings.
“In addition to this N. Gubbins,
Esq., spent four and a, half years
in the Home Guard, crawling
about on his .stomach in summer
dust and winter snow, learning the
parts of machine guns and learn
ing how to fire rockets at enemy
aircraft . . . He thinks it is [now]
safe to say that he still knows
very little about either.
“Food .and Clothing. The only
additions to the weekly ration . . .
were vegetables grown in the gar
den and the eggs provided by six
hens known to readers of this
column as the Six Little Suckers.
The Six Little Suckers now at The
Nest are not the original Suckers.
Some have died of layers’ cramp,
some have been killed by dear lit
tle doggies, and some, weary of
their concentration camp and dis
gusting food, have committed sui

the wire netting and twisting
their own necks. But apart from
the few who took the coward’s
way out, tribute must be paid to
those who have carried on . . .
They have produced in four years
more than 600 eggs. Of these at
least 50 have been eaten by rats
or squashed by the darling feet of
dear little doggie;s . .
“It may be noted here that
apart from all the other hardships
endured by -women in this war
the small humiliations of shopping
have been the most difficult to
bear. N. Gubbins, Esq., can re

who want bones besides you,’
there were murmurs of approval

the life pertner of N. Gubbins,

Her little chamber is hard by the roof.
Under the star.
When she has climbed the winding stairs
She runs to the slanted windows
And peers down . . . down, to the dusky street below.
Who is that passing swiftly out of the house-door?
Now he is crossing the road by the lamplight yonder.
His face leaps white and is lost in the swallowing darkness.
Out of her skyward’window leaning
She beckons and throws, what he does not see
Her heart like a falling star
It whirls and whirls in the air,
Seeking a home,
then,
finding none sinks cold
and shrivelled to ashes,
a handful of dust in the night.

Joies on Nationality and Citizenship
By GEORGE T. TAMAKI
(Content neither with a brilliant scholastic record at Dalhousie
Law School, Halifax, N.S., where he was awarded his bachelor’s degree
in law, nor with a subsequent career as village schoolmaster in the
