Britain Strikes Another Blow To Axis Shipping
in the Mediterranean
Recently the British Fleet Air Arm has been very active
in attacking Axis shipping in the Mediterranean. British
Swordfish torpedo-carrying aircraft are shown in this artist’s
Impression successfully attacking a large Axis convoy, ...Three
of the convoy received, direct torpedo hits and a vessel of
6,000 tons sank after two, hours. A tanker was left blazing
and a merchantman which -beached after being struck by a
torpedo was later set on fire by a heavy bomlj from a British
Blenheim bomber. Recent weeks have proved disastrous, for
Axis shipping both iij Eastern and Western waters, and, all
services of the Allied Forces are united in their de
termination to strike harder blows ‘for freedom, until the
Nazi regime is driven from Europe,
pair work is carried on.
Thanking you for your valuable
space, I am ,
Yours| sincerely,

Goderich, Ont.At this critical time in our coun
try’s life, when all that we hold
dear, freedom, liberty and the right
■to say and do as we will within
just limits are at stake and when
we have been told by ail the lead
ing men of our country, both public
and private, th at every dollar is and
will be needed to win the war, and
when each and every one has been
; asked to sacrifice'-and .save in every

pal authorities have been asked and
warned to cut expenditures and
help the war effort in every
sible way.
During the past year what
port has our County Council given
us as an example of leadership to
the municipalities within the Coun
ty and to our citizens. In the first
nine months of ,1941 they spent on
maintenance of the County Roads
$65,847.23, our present roads must
of course be kept in good condi-
f tion if at all possible. On construc-
• tion they spent $63,668.98, $12,-
625.83 of which was used in ‘wid
ening, cutting and streamlining the
road north of Brussels. This was
a gravel road and in good condition
which with proper maintenance
such as gravel and dragging would
have carried all the traffic that will
go over if in these years of war, aS
it has no military significance.
$23,358.54 was spent on road No.two years, just maintenance and re-

Campaign, and they are pointed to
by a large number of ratepayers,

why I should sacrifice or save when

As one of the leading
of the Province I would
urge our County Council to discon
tinue road construction for the
duration "of the war and that the
money thus saved be used for the
purchase of planes, tanks, guns cr
other war material or to reduce the
tax rate accordingly that 'the resi
dents of the county may put more,
into War Savings Stamps and Cer-

set a worthy exampie of leadership,
patriotism and sacrifice and thus
make a real 100 per cent war ef
