When the swineherds had gone to the city and told the story, the people came and saw the man and also the swine dead in the sea. Seeing the loss of their property, they asked Jesus to depart out of their coast, choosing the safety of their swine rather than to have Jesus, who could heal them. , Harry Dougall, Exeter, express- ed the appreciation of the Junior Farmers to the minister and to the church.

A Exeter District Man To Receive Award For Gallant Action Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has approved the award of the George Medal to a Netherland im- migrant farmer who is credited with saving the lives of two RCAF Flight Cadets from the tangled wreckage of their burning plane. The award, ivhich is only grant- ed for acts of great bravery, will be presented to Wilhelm. Koele, Exeter, Ontario, He received the Netherlands Civil Award, compar- able to the George Medal, last January in recognition of his brave deed. The RCAF Expeditor aircraft from the Air Force Flying Train- ing School at Centralia, Ont., crashed on Mr, Koele's farm and burst into flames. Two men were trapped inside the wreckage. Without regard for his own saf- eV, Mr. Koele pulled the flyers from the wreckage and an RCAF investigation later disclosed that the two men would have died if it had not been for the actions of Mr. Koele. Arrangements for the . presenta- tion of the George Medal to Mr, Koele will be announced at a later date. 0 — THE WEATHER 1952 1951 High Low High Low Sept. la 66 65 68 41 19 62 51 72 44 20 62 50 1/ 5/ 21 60 42 81 60 22 62 45 74 58 21 59 411 61 50 24 60 46 65 52 Hein: .98 his, 11 A special ceremonial parade was held at RCAF Station, Clin- ton, Tuesday afternoon. It has been the practice of the station to have a brief graduation cere- mony for the ground crew courses at the completion of their train- ing here. This is not because ;the ground crew graduations are thought any less important than those of aircrew and ground crew officers, who receive their "wings" or diplomas at a cere- monial parade. Since there are ground crew graduations each week, the time involved in a ceremonial parade for, one would cut too deeply into the training schedule of the school. However, in conjunction with the parade on Tuesday, Group Captain, E. A. D. Hutton, CD, emiirifandiag' Officer ofetheeSta-- tion, installed a commemorative plaque on the Radar and Com- munications Headquarters Build- ing, which is under construction. This building when completed, in the summer of 1953, will add greatly to the training facilities, and enable Station Clinton to train a much greater number of airmen and airwomen for the de- fence of our country. The Commanding Officer, at the graduation ceremony, em- phasized the importance of team- work in the RCAF, saying that "we will. not complete the over- all Air Force mission successfully unless each one of us pulls his or her weight." Guests at the Station included Mr, A. Y. McLean, M.P. for Huron-Perth, and Mr. Tom Pryde, M.L:A. for Huron, both of whom addressed the Station personnel and guests at the installation ceremony. 0 CLINTON COUPLE CELEBRATED SILVER WEDDING Planning to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary quiet- ly with a few guests, Mr. and R Inducted at Finch St. Luke's Presbyterian Church, Finch, was the scene of a large congregation when the Presbytery' of Glengarry met to indect Rev John Honeymare RA„ into the pastoral charge of Finch and Crysler Presbyterian ehurches.

Mc- age, we shall lose much that is Fall Fair Domestic Science Features Hayfield Fall Fair opened yest- erday as• expert judges made their carefhl decisions and awarded prizes for some of the best dis- plays of handwork, garden pro- duce, etc., ever to be shown in Huron County. Entries in the classes for school displays were numerous. There was a good number of glass paint- ings, some of which showed ex- ceptional originality in execution. There were two models of Ind- ian villages constructed by dif- ferent schools; one of them feat- ured a natural looking lake, sur- rounded by evergreen forest; the other featured very well con- structed totem poles, and wig- wams made of burlap sacking. The special class for apple dis- plays, which of necessity included six by-products of the apple, gained considerable attention. Most of the exhibitors had many more than the required six by- products, and they showed that a good deal of thought went in- to their arrangement. The domestic science classes for adults, including all sorts of baking, school lunch packing, and appetizing trays for sick folk received many entries. Judging of all indoor classes was complete by six o'clock yest- erday evening, and entries for out-door classes were expected on the Fair grounds early this morning. We expect to have a complete list of prize awards for publica- tion next week.
