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.

All accounts, notices of tions and other business requiring the attention of Council should be in the hands of the County Clerk not later than Saturday, January 17th, 1942. N. W. MILLER,' County Clerk, 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 and invest in War Sav- :ates. Also all munici­ 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- extravagant road pro­ be carried out?

When out men from this coun­ ty are offering their lives and some have already paid the supreme sac­ rifice for us, are the County Coun­ cil not willing to sacrifice their pet road program? Last summer were all asked to cut out all un­ necessary driving and save gas. Did tEeT county back up the gas saving campaign. No. Did they, cut their road expenditures to have money foi’ the war effort? No. Did they set an example of leadership in their County as a genuine, win-the- war effort, when they allowed this expensive, gram to I submit, tions this past year they have ex­ tensively injured our War Savings Campaign, and they are pointed to by a large number of ratepayers, whom I have interviewed, who ask why I should sacrifice or save when the County keeps on .building roads like the one north of Brussels, which is not needed. Who are ing, Churchill or Hitler? 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- tificates. By doing so they would set a worthy exampie of leadership, patriotism and sacrifice and thus make a real 100 per cent war ef­ fort.
