the farm of Mr., Roy Gingerich, north

barn on the Gingerich property was
completely destroyed by fire. The
victim of the aebident was L.A.C.
Wilfred Raymond' Kell, son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. R. Kell, of Winnipeg,
Residents of the community ob-'
served that Kell’s plane" was flying
in formation and the report is that
the wings of the two planes ticked
when Kell’s plane went put of con
trol and yelled over several, times
before landing upside down. The
plane crashed between the Ginger
ich home and the barn. There were
two explosions as the plane burst
into flames, the flames setting the
barn on fire. The body of the air
man was pinned beneath the wreck
age and was badly burned. Emer
gency calls were sent to Grand Bend
and Centralia airports and ambu
lances .were soon on the scene. Work
ing in their asbestos suits the res
cuers moved among the burning
parts and removed the body. 1
The building was a large barn on
a stone fpundation. and was totally
destroyed, together? with about six
ty tons of hay, 200 chickens, the sea

“My 'husband
of a plane just as we were having
dinner,” related Mrs. Gingerich. “We
rushed to the door in time to see the
plane hit the ground hard between
the barn‘and the house as the pilot
was apparently attempting a forced
landing.
“Then .the plane seemed to hit the
side of the barn, -though not with
much force. Flames burst out im
mediately, however, setting fire to
the plane and the barn.”
The body was shipped from Lon
don by train at 7,20 p,m. Sunday to
Winnipeg, where a military funeral
will be held.
Classmates in Course 61 and. oth

Thousands of people visited the
scene of the crash Saturday and
Sunday. Cars were lined up on the
road for a mile long early Sunday,

the remnants of the barn and the

watch over the plane and over a

MEMORIAL HELD AT
. CAVEN CHURCH FOR
THE LATE ALEX STRANG
A memorial service for the late
Alexander Dougall Strang, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Strang, of Exe
ter, radio officer in His Majesty’s
Service, who lost his life at sea, was
held in Caven Presbyterian Church
on Sunday evening at which there
was a large attendance* members of
the Canadian Legion being present
in a body, The service was conduct
ed by the minister, Rev. John Gallo
way, who took for his subject, “The
Cost of a New World”. No man can
say today that he is a free man un
less he remembers ithat his freedom
was bought at a great price. In his
home town in Scotland there were
slabs and monuments to men who had
suffered and died for liberty and
freedom. The speaker said that
one of the last things he did before
leaving that town was 'to stand on
the spot where one man had given
up his life for freedom. Tonight we
are reminded of our great indebt
edness that we might be free.
The speaker referred to a child
blowing bubbles and wafting them,
on the air to break and come to.
naught; also of a little girl weeping
over her broken doll. In the mak
ing of manhood and womanhood
these little heartaches symbolize the
greater’ trials and troubles in later
-life. Today we are standing on
what 25 years ago was supposed to
be a new world. The foundations of
our way of life are being shaken to
night. One of ithe greatest -tragedies
would be to begin life over again
where we
gedy will

and ideals. . , ____
world that will put the emphasis on
■the human soul, on decent living
and a right to live.
The speaker had before him a
picture of St. Paul’s cathedral in
London and the destruction of those
old landmarks surrounding it dur
ing the German blitz. During the
intensity of the heat material things
were moulded together. Likewise
in adversity, rich and poor, high and
low are brought together. If the
flames of this war shall consume
selfishness, greed for material gain
and bring together this old world
to the glory of God and the contin
uance of His Church on earth, the
sacrifice shall not be in vain. What
of the price paid or the price we may
have to pay for the things that we
hope for and prize? Is freedom
worth the price? We wonder if
in this qutet little town already ipart
of that price has been paid-by
family. Are we better men
women for the sacrifice that
been made? Are we ready for
radical revolution that must come
out of this war? We are reminded
tonight of Him who gave His life
on Calvary for your life and mine.
It is to you that the voice of God
comes to make of
