Eilber, Township Clerk Brinsley Girl Honored at Social Evening Sponsored by the choir of Brinsley United church, the Home of Mr, and Mrs. Rowland Neil was the locale for a social evening in honor of one of .its members, Miss Myrtle Neil, whose marriage in the church is to take place on Thursday at twelve o’clock, noon. “True and False”, “Truth or Consequences” games were the order of the evening, the sher­ bet bowl and plate being awarded to the minister for the largest num­ ber of correct answers submitted. The high-water mark of the eve­ ning was the presentation of a. beautiful framed painting to the guest Of honor, Miss Neil, the pre­ sentation address being read by Miss A delightful repast was tile hostess, Mrs. Row- ably assisted by her hus- __ the conclusion all. sang “For She’s a Jolly^ Good, Fellow.” Miss Neil lias beett an honored and valued member of the choir as well as evincing a practical interest in other phases of the church’s All her ‘friends would say Voyage.” “Somewhere in Great Britain” you will find members of an R.C.A.F, Boston fighter’-bomber crew poring over maps of Canada in their spare time. It’s all part of a new squad­ ron policy to name their aircraft after places in their native land, No more “C for Charlie” or “0 for Oswald”, F’or a while they tried Canadian city names, like “T for Toronto” and “C for Calgary”, but one of the brighter minds conceived the idea of utilizing picturesque names. So now the commanding of­ ficer’s aircraft is “A for Apiskigam- isli", another has become “T for Temagami”, another is “R for Res- tigouche” and a fourth is Hochelaga”/ Toronto and they say, are good exotic enough. * * Many Canadians annoyance over the large ' numbers of R.C.A.F." training craft which are seen flying over towns and villages from the Maritimes to the Pacific. A theory is held in some quarters that the airmen circle and bank for the express purpose of showing off for the benefit of relatives or femin­ ine admirers. The fact is that each time you see an aeroplane over a town or village it is carrying out al scheduled manoeuvre. Chances are that a member of the crew may be taking photographs so that when he flies over Germany his photo­ graphic skill will permit him to bring back evidence of targets for future attack, Or perhaps the navi­ gator is carrying out an exercise, using a certain building as a “pin­ point”, much the same as he will be required to “pinpoint” a power plant in Berlin or Essen, The‘pilot, too, may be engaged in a navigation ex­ ercise. He must be at»le to identify communities from the air-—and a, difficult trick it is, too, at times— so that when he finds himself over strange territory he will" recognize, objectives from .the maps lie has seen. It. all fits into the general picture of the vast air training program. No flying is done for fun, or for amusement, least of all the night flying exercises which must be carried put at all Service Flying Training Schools. Not long ago a woman complained to a neigh­ bor that she had been disturbed the night before by the sound of an aero­ plane circling overhead: “Did it have black crosses paint­ ed on it?” asked the neighbor. “No, I don’t believe it did,” the woman replied. “Well;” said the other, ‘you ought to feel thankful.” * * Not long ago a group of airmen at the Service Flying Training School near Brantford,. Ontario, had" a few days of extra time on their hands while waiting for a new course to begin. “They put it to good .advantage by turning out in a body to help the neighboring farmers get their crops in, Need.l.ess, to say, the gesture was appreciated1 by' tire'*'far­ mers who had reason to be doubly grateful to the R.C.A.F.« * * ' ■ ■■■■ If you've ever been on a Royal ■Air Force station, you may have been puzzled to see airmen and of­ ficers alike suddenly salute while walking through a particular area. It is a custom observed throughout the entire R.C.A.F., the object of the salute being the ensign which usually flies from a mast before the main administration building. The tradition is essentially a Canadian one and is a constant reminder to all who wear the uniform, of significance of their flag. * * * names, “H for Ottawa, hut not * have expressed * the It sounds paradoxical, but THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17th, 1942 How those Russians are exemplifying the good old quality of “Stick it!” and of “It’s dogged that does it!” * * * * * .* ' * * THE WINNER’S WAY We were talking to the man in charge of the marching, or who had a good deal to do with the marching of our soldiers. “When we're on parade before the grandstand we march at one hundred, and twenty paces take one hundred long day of it we V to the minute, When we’re really marching we and ten paces to the minute. When we have a slog along.” Our readers will see the poipt. * * * * * * * ** MUST RE QUALIFIED We were talking with a Highlander the other night upon the subject of 'marching. “Nae mon should don the kilts onless he can sweng easily frae the hep and joggle the knee, onless he dis sae his kilt will nae sweng an’ gae wi’ a deegnified wiggle-waggle. Only such qualified anes sud wear the kilt,” * * * *' * * * ♦ A PROGRESSIVE TRANSI’ORMATION In our columns some time ago we noted the formation of a new trucking company in this good town. The other morning we noted that the proprietors, me and Jimmie and Charles and the horse have been transformed into a progressive transportation company in His Majesty’s service. The horse is now a combination of high-grade engine and austere driver, who challenges every other Exeter trio for gasoline, Unfortunately there is a lack of gasoline coupons. » $ ***** ♦ PIN THIS IN YOUR, HAT: , We pass on the following to our readers as the best of all pos­ sible advice for times like these: «*• “Five things observe with care— Of whom you speak, To whom you speak, And how, and when and where.” In plain English, this country is shot through with Axis spies. Our enemies are out to learn what we think of the war, of what we think of our enemies, what are our resources of men, materials and courage and expectation. 'Further, one simply does not know who the spy may be. Every hour of the day some suggestion-comes that our enemies wish to hear us discuss in order that they may look into our most important secrets. Our worst enemies may be those of our own households. In these terrible days we’ll do well to remember that the least we say about the war to almost anyone may be too much. For the most part, till the war is well ove^, we may be sure that our mouths are for eating with and little else except keeping shut, " * * * * *- * * * HOW IT WORKS Speaking of spy work, take this for an example. Word comes that Bill Wallopem has been killed. Now it is known to our enemies that Bill belongs to a certain groups serving in just such and such a spot at just such and such a timm To say that Bill has not been killed or something that gives news of his whereabouts gives infor­ mation to our foe of troop movements,, the very thing the Jerries and the Jappies want. Here is still another possible way of getting at our thought and judging-, of our spirit. Word will come that Hitler or the Japanese emperor are calling for delegates to arrange ' for a new imap of Asia or of Europe, these delegates to. he selected from all countries of the world, which includes Canada, of course, these delegates to make a new map of the world. Such questions and statements are pure decoys, someone says, but if we discuss them at all the Germans know our mind, the very thing they desire. For them to be informed, is fox’ all of us to suffer, no matter what we say on the Subject. Every once in a while we hear -someone broadcasting in one way or another, that a certain part of this province, or of'the Domin­ ion is particularly vital to the welfare of the country, that this part is easily reached by bombers and that very part is not well guarded. What better information for Hitler? What more could any German spy do than to scatter just such information over Ger­ many. Yet we fear that oui’ warning against such a practice is greatly needed. We have the innocence of the dove but we have not the wisdom of the serpent, y $ % ** “I’M READY!” Mary Lee. served by land Neil, band. At life.

These are the men who must operate the “crash boats” and the various types of rescue craft and tenders employed along Canada’s coasts, as well as in the Waters over Which aircraft from bombing and gunnery schools opera'te. There are even marine gunners, as distinct from air gunners, Who receive spec­ ial training in operating large cal­ ibre machine guns While skimming over the waves at breakneck speed.

Soloists in the anthem were Mrs. Lin. Craven, Miss Mary Lee. Mrs. pan Dewis and Mrs. Wes­ ley Lewis sang a duet at the morn­ ing service. Mr. Wall and daugh­ ter, of London, sang a duet with Miss Wall rendering a solo in the evening.. Mr. Lin, Craven ail'd Mrs. Clausen also rendered a duet in the evening anthem. For the splendid choral work of the day, much cre­ dit is due to Mrs. Dan. Lewis, choir leader, and Mrs. F. Fenton, organist, not forgetting the loyalty and en­ thusiasms displayed by all members of t the choir. The stewards of the church were greatly encouraged by the splendid financial response of the congregations, the offerings sur­ passing those of past years. For this sustained loyalty the officials of the church, together with its min­ ister, render thanks to its people.

A pronounced increase: in both tonnage of green stalks,, ears,, and earlier maturity on the fertil­ ized plots as compared to the eheck, was discussed by Prof, H. G. Bell, O.A-C., Guelph. He stated that the bountiful crops this year were not only due to satisfactory weather but also to the increased use of commer­ cial fertilizers to supplement the barnyard manure and . clovers ploughed down. The Coughlin’s hybrid corn pro­ vides an excellent demonstration of propei’ fertilizing, ment, them, grown hybrid seed corn is being mended by the Ridgetown mental Farm. The Reeve of Sfephen, McCann, welcomed the farmers to the meeting and pointed out the superior merits of hybrid corn for either ensilage or husking pur­ poses; stressing lesser injury by the corn borer, greater root develop­ ment and increased yields. David Hunter, ot the Agricul­ tural Supplies Board, Ottawa, urg­ ed farmers to keep on producing these lines of farming that they were familiar with such as bacon, milk, beef, eggs and grain 5 TIRES m ON THE ROAO FOR *2.00 care and manage- Altogether 25 acres of nor- You can’t g«t newHrsi.

Lot 32, L.R.W..........................................1939-40 2.00 It was getting on. to four-thirty last 'Friday when a messenger came to the cook out there on the fair grounds asking, “Will sup­ per be ready for the soldiers?” “I’m ready,” was the quick reply. The writer was curious about camp cooking. When the last Great War broke out it was no uncommon thing, for Tommy to go to the supply house, secure his allowance of meat and tea and vegetables and find the best way he knew of getting the cooking done. Before that period Mr. Atkins did his cooking around the camp fire, and a poor job he was obliged to do in many cases. That is not the way now. The most up-to-date cookers are supplied and the best sort of cook is provided. Tommy now secures his mess dish, goes to the supply tent, is given his allowance of food well cooked and well served in a highly practical way. He leaves his soldier exercises on ' the dot and gets his meals on the dot. That Friday, he was given a liberal helping of the be«t Irish stew we ever tasted, excellently cooked potatoes, good bread and butter, tea and plain rice pudding. On Saturday morning the men got a sufficient supply of well-made porridge, bacon and eggs, tea and bread and butter. “Y.ou see,” we were told, “it is good business to feed the men properly. Actual figures prove this. No end of the men who were permanently in­ capacitated in the last war trace their troubles to improperly prepar­ ed food. It is better business to feed the men well than to keep them in hospitals and on the periston lists.” Those men look fit and act fit and they are getting fitter every day. That is what is needed. We notice come back from overseas. The purpose of their return is obvious. They bring back to the Canadian soldier word of what is going on in the training camps in England. All that is to the good. As far as possible, our Canadians are kept in touch with what is doing in the way of discipline and getting ready for action as from actual war conditions. Everywhere we heard •spoken that our men should be getting into action. “What do you men wish us to do for you in the forts?” I asked an old timer. “We appreciate anything you do. “You’re right about that. But we do like shaving soap and razor blades and shoe laces and shoe polish, those little things that we can carry with us. Shoe laces are always breaking and Duttons coming loose and tears get into our shirts and clothes.” Evidently the men are well fed and supplied with essential clothing, but the little things mentioned and other things are necessary. Letters and papers from the old town/ are needed.. But yourself In Tommy’s place wheti making up your box and you’ll not go far wrong. “I’m ready!” the cook said Saturday morning when word came that the route for marching had been changed and -the march was • something like abandoned, Tommy had got up from his bed’in the very long and dewy grass and was busy shaving here and there ais best he could in the about-fifty atmosphere. The smell of cereal and frying bacon and eggs was in his nostril and the coffee was there. "He and his comrades were prepared. All that he wanted was leadership and he was on his way. How important for the cook to be ready. He saves grousing and gets the men ready for the stern duties of soldier life. Those route marches are not picnics. System is a great friend of patriotism.
