t CHICK GUARD
TEAR OUT THIS AD!
Tear out this a<L bring or mail it in with your order
for 200 or jpore Bray Chicks before the end of Jan-
.uary,, and We will see that you get one of these Chick
Guards, It’s a mighty handy thing to have around
your brooder’ the first few days—helps keep the
qhicks close to the warmth, prevents piling in cor-
jiers, and breaks floor drafts.
You don’t have to take delivery of these 200 Bray
Chicks in January—just order them. But the way
things are shaping in the poultry business, we believe
it would be good business (if you have the proper
equipment to handle them) to take delivery, too.

FATAL SHOOTING
ACCIDENT
Edwin Dean, 23, san of Mr. and
Mrs. E. L. Dean of Goderich, was
fatally injured while on a hunting
trip on New Year’s Day,
The accident happened about
three o’clock in Colborne Township.
Edwin had gone with a -party pf
hunters on a rabbit drive, He, with
Judge T. M, Costello and Ray Dean,
his elder brother, had gone up a
laneway on the farm of William
Young, proceeding to cross into a
field over, a fence on which was a
top line of barbed wire, His •com
panions had got over the fence, and
Edwin was in the act of climbing
over when his overcoat caught on
the wire. He stood his gun against
the fence with the butt on the
ground and bent over to unfasten
the coat, when in some way the
gun discharged, the charge enter
ing the lower right chest, seriously
injuring him internally, causing
hemorrhages which resulted in al
most instantaneous death.
On graduating from the Colleg
iate Dean joined the staff of the
Bank of Montreal at Goderich, lat
er being transferred to the branch
es at .Parkhill and Kingston. Home
for holidays, he had just, complet
ed his thirty-day period at Wood-
stock training centre with
Company.

That’s a strong argument, it seems to us, to order
good chicks (e.g., Bray Chicks) early. Usually, early
chicks pay best. Early cockerels usually hit better
markets; early pullets are fully developed & laying
premium-sized eggs by the time the egg market beg

THE NAVY THAT .FLIES
Story Behind the Hpfc of Taranto
(By a Naval Correspondent)
Once referred to as the Navy's
youngest child, the Fleet Air Arm.
to-day has grown into a young stal
wart that has nothing whatever to
learn about air fighting,
For many months of the war the
naval Air Arm came little into the
news, The traditions of a “[Silent
Service” are its traditions too. Lit
tle or nothing was said of the
thousands of miles of the North
Sea and Atlantic .ceaselessly pat
rolled, of the clashes

of enemy U-boats. In
searching for enemy
“Ark Royal” covered
while her ’planes reconnoitred five
million square miles ,of sea,
Then- came Norway. Within a
few days of that gallant, ill-fated
.expedition, the deeds of the Fleet
Air Arm leapt into world promin
ence, when it played a great part
in protecting our troops and ships
against enemy bombers,, a^d,
launched its own daring attacks
upon the enemy bases, warships,
transports and supply ships,
Admiralty’s Praise
*'We are proud of the Fleet
Arm” was the signal made by

the
Admiralty to the young fliers at
the conclusion of these operations.
It is rare, for the deeds of the Navy
to be so warmly commended.
There was a Royal Naval
Service before 1914. In 1917
R.N.A.S. Most of its pilots
Air
the
and
all its observers were provided by
the Navy while the R.A.F. supplied
the maintenance staff. As the
need for a stronger Naval Air
Force became apparent,, it was de
cided to abandon the dual method.
In May, 1-9 3i9, the Fleet Air Arm
passed to the control of the Navy,
To-day the Fleet Air Arm lives
in Britain’s growing fleet of air-
craft carriers, in warships, carrying
up to four planes each, in shore
stations, which, like all naval es
tablishments ashore, carry the
name of His. Majesty’s ships. There
is H.M.S. Doedalus, H.M.S. Kestrel,
H.M.G. Peregrine—-to name but a
; tent
; The machines flown by these gal
lant young men of the Fleet Air
Arm are of first-class quality and
can he used for nearly every pur
pose. There are a number of
types in use, among them the
Fairey Swordfish, the IFairey Al
bacore, the Fairey Fulmar and,
others.
As fighters, long-range recon
naissance machines and torpedo
bombers they have more
proved their efficiency.
- Defying the Barrage
The firing of a torpedo from
aircraft is as tricky a business
can be imagined. . Though no de
tails as to the exact method used
to put three of Mussolini’s capital
ships out of action have been re
vealed, there are many who think
that torpedoes, rather than heavy
bombs, have been used,
If this is the case, still greater
credit redounds to the Fleet Air
Arm. To fire a torpedo, the mach
ine must come so low as to risk the
almost point-blank range of the
enemy’s anti-aircraft guns. De
spite the barrage, the machine must
be poised with great accuracy at
the low height and angle from
which the torpedo reaches its mark.
No matter how the epic of Tar
anto was accomplished, the Fleet
Air Arm inflicted a smashing naval
defeat on the enemy. In addition,
it provided a great new feather in
the cap of the Navy that flies, and
shows, if we did not already know
it, that the Fleet Air. Arm has taken
into the air the naval tradition of
centuries. P

SWINGS
Again Takes First Place
In Motor Car Sales
IN EVERY PROVINCE OF THE DOMINION
YOU have awarded Chevrolet-
General Motors’ No. 1 Car—the
coveted honor of being No. 1 car
in popular demand in 1940. /
. For years you Canadian rriotor-
ists have purchased more Chev
rolets than any other make of
automobile, regardless of type,
size or price. You did it again in
the year just closed —most em
phatically, in every province in
Canada.
We want to thank you for your
mark of high favor and for your
confidence. You place on us a
definite responsibility to continue
to give motoi* car leadership —
and we accept that responsibility.
Since you rate Chevrolet first in
value, we are under the obligation
to keep it first in value.
We consider that there is an
entirely new call this year upon
Chevrolet quality arid depend
ability because Chevrolet is an
essential part of Canada’s war
effort. To fill its place in the
transportation program of a
nation at work to win the war,
Chevrolet must be built to an,
effective arid enduring standard.
These are the reasons why we
have redoubled our effort to
widen and increase Chevrolet
value leadership
in out4 new cars
for ’41. If yori
will examine the
new Chevrolet carefully, you will
agree we have succeeded. You
will find, for example, that Chev
rolet alone among the low-priced
cars includes as standard equip
ment certain quality features
which a buyer would be wise,
under present circumstances, to
insist upon. You' will find that
Chevrolet with its thrilling new
bigness is styled ahead for your
protection.
It is worth mohey to you to
know that Chevrolet is the only
low-priced car providing, at no
extra cost, original Vacuum-
Power Shift'•which makes gear
shifting 80%> automatic and re
quires only 20% driver effort;
genuine Unitized Knee-Action
which absorbs road shocks and
prevents pitching and tossing; a
body by Fisher of the same
design and quality featured on
higher-priced cars; and Con
cealed Safety Steps which pre
vent die accumulation of ice and
snow and are the mark of truly
advanced styling.
