four two -ton block 'busters were
dropped -at -the rate ef -about one
a mar' rite, plus 110,000 pounds of in-
cendiaries. The 30 -pound incendar-
ies were dropped about one a second.
Bright moonlight lit up the targets
for the first wave a bombers, but
before the raid' ended smoke, that
rose 8,000 feet in the air, obscurred
the city and made observation al-
most impossible.•

FORCED LANDING
An Avro-Anson bomber from Port
Albert Air Navigation School made
a' forced landing in a field on the,
farm of Kenneth Cameron abotit 5
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Con-
siderable damage was done » to the
machine, but its five -man crewe
escaped injuries.
the many, months of Continu-
ous flying over this area, since the
Opening af Tott-Albert attpart,--- it
was the first crack-up „ in this im-
mediate vicinity, and many specta-
tors visited the scene, before the
Plane was dismantled and the
wreckage removed.
Trouble developed we understand;
in the gasoline lines and as the
motors went dead and the ship lost
altitude a forced landing was im-
perative, irc a not $00 level 'field
on the , aatneron farm.
Comiricin from the east, the plane
caught a rail fence. The undercar-
riage was torn away and Part of a
wing sheared off strewing wreckage
-around for several yards. The plane
pivoted, facing almost in . the dir-
ection it had come in, and "pan-
- caked".
Eldon Miller; who was working
on the adjoining farm, heard the
crash and was one of the first at
the scene, but by this» time the
crewe was all out of the plane and
uninjured.

HURON BARNS WERE NEVER
SO FULL AS THIS YEAR
VII•Mr011•••••••
Despite the current labor short•
age, Huron County barns and tiles
were never so full of hay, feed
grains and roots as they are today,
James C. Shearer, agricultural rep-
resentative, told County Connell
last week at Goderich.
Mr. Shearer, who was public re-
lations officer in the recent Victory
Loan campaign, gave new and final
figures for Huron Countk. The total
raised is now $2,435,550, the most
of the three loan campaigns of this
war. One in every sit, or 6,951 peo-
ple of the 43,000 population of Hur-
on Cotifity, purchased a Victory
Bond. The average is $50 per head.
Total subseriptions of the four
county air training schools were
$121,100.
This winter schools to teach the
repair and maintenance of farm -
machinery will be conducted at 8
centres in Huron .County, said Mr.
Shearer. This plan has been evolved
in view of the fact that .only one-
fourth of» nornuil new farm mach-
inery production is to be „ manufac-
tured henceforth in Canada.

Last week we mentioned about

referring to this item, while not
condomng the actions of the' lads
of today, recalled a favorite pas-
time when he was a boy. The "gang"
at that time used to prefer a •gal-
lery seat too, and they took along
their peashooters. Gentlemen in the
seats below, with bald heads, were
favorite targets and -the gallery gang
kept missies bouncing off their cram=

prising accuracy,--during--the pe

DEER SEASON ENDED
ON• SATURDAY EVENING
The six-day open »deer season
ended at suri-down on Saturday ev-
ening, after a week of successful
hunting for many nimrods - with
prab-a.bly just as many, or inore; who
didn't have any luck.
It is estimated that the deer pop-
ulation in North Huron numbered
about 1,500 at the start of the hunt,
with some three hundred of them
being bagged during the week. The
week was free of hunting accidents.
Huron County Council's protest
of the Department's action in pro-
claiming an open season in North
Huron, brought a reply from
Queen's Park that there was no
resolution filed with the Depart-
• ment. opposing an open season. That
is true. but County Council mein-
bers were still of the opinion that
the Department was . cognizattt of
its wishes.. Before the session ad-
journed council passed a resoltition
to be fOrwarded to the Department
of Caine and Fisheries, to the effect
that in the future Huron Council
wantt to be consulted before any
future open deer season is declared
in the County.
