Lloyd Lindenfield, 'Lloyd and Bill Servent camps close to their trip across, like a millpond, had their train land after landing, the trees and holly were green and the snow-cap­ ped mountains in the distance pleted a beautiful scene. Verne says they are having drill but plenty of study in reading and instructions in the use of army trucks. It takes time to become familiar with keeping to the left side of the road. 'He adds tlfat he doubts if half a mile of straight road could be found in the district. The boys felt the recent unusual cold spell which swept England. Ted Wethey had been moved to more, comfortable quarters after some of the men had left for France. British broadcasting is curtailed but one station broad­ casts regularly to the troops in France. When the German news broadcast comes on, a number ga­ ther around to listen to “Lord Haw* Haw” as they name the German an­ nouncer with the Oxford voice and untrue news. They find him nearly as funny as jack Benny, Roses until recently Were in bloom but the cold snap froze some of the water pipes and caused tem­ porary discomfort, expect a move for very busy issuing however, thinks France may come Lloyd Hunter says that the boys are anxiously awaiting letters from home. After a month in England he has not as yet received any mail. Bill Servent has been in hospital with a cold. Lloyd Lindenfield writes that they had a five-day leave in London and he was enter­ tained by a Mr. and Mrs, Davis, Lambeth St, He took in the sights of the city including the Wax Works the parliament Buildings, Trafal­ gar Square, London Bridge, Picca­ dilly Circus, Westminster Abbey, etc. Tobacco, says one of the boys, is very dear and not like our good old Canadian tobacco. A splendid tribute was paid the Exeter JLions Club on the excellent work it has achieved since its> inau­ guration by District Governor W. I. Carroll, of Mitchell, who addressed the club at its supper meeting in the Bossenberry Hotel Monday evening. Mr. Carroll spoke on the subject ‘Upon What Will the Continued Suc­ cess of this Club Depend.” He spoke of the large sums of money that have been raised by the club and spent for welfare work. He was par­ ticularly interested in the work the club is doing in providing milk for the children of the public school. One of the first essentials tor a successful club is the quality of the .Members. Quality is needed because the club must gain the confidence of the community in which it is serv­ ing; because it needs good strong men as its officers and to head its committees, and because there is work to be done and sacrifices to be made. Emphasis should be plac­ ed upon attendance because without attendance there is lack of interest. He spoke of the Mitchell club which has had a hundred per cent, attend dance since last October. He com­ plimented the club on theii’ efficient secretary, Lion J. B. Creech, and the song leader, Lion T. O. Southcott. “There are few things done today because we feel it a duty to do them” pointed out the speaker. “We come to a service club tbecause we feel it is time well spent.” Foi’ this reason it is important that the program committee arrange something worth while for every meeting. Knowledge of Lionism is also a good thing for the members. Lion­ ism began in 1917 and at present there are 3 600 clubs. In 1920 in Ontario there were 8 clubs; in 1930 26 clubs; in 1935, 47 clubs and in 1940, 94 clubs, the number having doubled in the past five years, There must be something to command such growth. The latest club in the dis­ trict to organize is St. Marys. Clubs are successful largely because of their activities. Lionism aims to make the town a better pl^ce in which to live; its service work is to help some child that through neglect might otherwise have to go through life with some physical drawback. Mr. Carroll stressed co-operation among the officers, the members and the* committee. Finances should be budgeted each committee having a knowledge of how much it is ex­ pected to spend^ remarks . with the as one lad starts a it grows as others get behind it. Previous to the Carroll Lion Thos. pryde outlined the work that the Canadian iLegion War Services are endeavoring to do in educational and personal service work for the Canadians enlisted in the fighting appealed to the members erous response when the make their rounds next week. Lion President Sandy Elliot was in the chair. The speaker was intro­ duced by Past President Dr. Weekes. Two cases brought to bers. Hensail .... Exeter Crediton .... Lucan ....... Dashwood .

Oyster and Ham Supper at Caven Church, tonight (Thursday). At the Lions Club meeting Mon­ day evening Lion Thos. Pryde, who has been appointed chairman in Ex­ eter for the Canadian Legion War Service drive for funds, the canvas for. which will be made next week, outlined the work the Legion have undertaken to carry on in providing Educational and Vocational training for the boys who have joined our fighting forces. The Legion realiz­ ing that ex-service men had much experience gained in. the last war and in the period of demobilization offered its services to the govern­ ment and .at the request of the gov­ ernment have undertaken to pro­ vide educational and personal ser­ vices to the soldiers. For this work the Legion have enlisted the ser­ vices of the Canadian Association for Adult Education. It brings to­ gether all the universities of Can­ ada, the provincial departments of education and some fifty other insti­ tutions and it is soliciting the co­ operation of all service clubs. This work should have the hearty sup­ port of all our citizens and the $500,- OiOO required to be raised in all of Canada should not be a difficult matter if all do their part. Not one cent of the'money raised in this cam­ paign will go to the Canadian Leg­ ion. It is a separate organization handling all funds.

Exeter 5, Crediton 2 Exeter jumped into second one point behind Hensall, by de­ feating Crediton 5 to 2 in the first game of a double-header Tuesday evening. Although the ice was a little draggy owing to the mild wea­ ther, the game did not lack in speed or thrills. A crowd of 650 persons saw Exeter take a one goal lead from the face-off and hold an edge on the play throughout the sixty minutes. At the face-off Moise got the puck which rolled to MacDonald who rounded the defense and de­ flected a long shot off goalie Smith’s pads into the not. (Crediton tied up the score, Bowden batting in a loose puck after Ford had made a sensational sprawling save. Creech and Ryckman combined in a nice duet to put Exeter into the lead. 'Creech again led a* rush, passing the puck to MacDonald who rebounded to Creech and an­ other tally was chalked up. Exeter staged a three-way attack early in the second semester, Cor­ nish, Ryckman and Willard in on the play. Cornish led the rush and Willard hit the hemp .with Ryckman's pass. The Fahrner brothers combined in Crediton’s second and last counter, Austin tak­ ing Wally’s pass at the blue-line, swooped in on Ford with the de­ fense drawn out of position. The power-play of both teams were dis­ organized when in turn each team was a man short near the end of the period. Exeter swarmed Smith’s doorstep during the opening minutes of the third period. Crediton began check­ ing their men better and played more cautious hockey. There was one tally in this close-check- period, Dinney backhanding place out. make their appeal allocation for the is $400. If each one quarter of Canvassers next week.

The Red Cross executive will meet Monday, February 12th o’clock. All units should sented. Considerable increase made in the amount of money re­ ceived by the treasurer recently, through the ’efforts of various or­ ganizations and communities, and it is to be hoped that many others will make an effort to raise addi­ tional funds. The executive com­ mittee could buy twice as much material and give out twice as much to the only too-willing workers who are eager to have more to do, if they could see their way clear to pay for the material over the next few months. As it is, it is not easy to satisfy all the fifteen units of the Exeter Branch, by supplying them with all the work they ask for. Grand Bena people put on an Oyster Supper in the Brenner Ho­ tel recently which netted $115.00. A most excellent result considering the unfavorable weather. The use of the hotel was given without charge. Many eatables were donated and others bought at cost. 'Grand Bend unit is to be congratulated The Exeter Junior Red Cross put on a dance in the Arena, and this unit is to be commended on their work. They turned in $89.32 to the Red Cross treasurer. Crediton unit netted $28/0’0 from a supper in the Town Hall one night last week at duly 25c a plate. Pretty good too. The Exeter Branch in co-opera­ tion with the Leavitt Theatre se­ cured the pictures of the Royal Vis­ it of last summer and they were shown last week with good crowds in attendance.

Willard In the second game of the twin bill Hensall and Lucan played to ah overtime tie 3-3. With the score 3-1 Lucan unleashed a terrific drive in the last few minutes of the game and R. Paul scored two goals to tie the score. In the overtime Hensall was awarded a penalty shot but Hudson drove the puck into the goalie’s pads. Lucan opened the scoring, Shier netting McCarty’s draw from the face-off near the net. Fairbairn got the equalizer when he shot the puck out from behind the net and it was deflected in off the goalie’s stick. In the second things livened up a bit and tempers flew but no punches were thrown. K. Passmore got the only goal of the period when his long shot from centre dribbled' into the net. Cluff was sent to the pen­ alty box and was given a major tor arguing with the referee. Hensall made it 3-1 early in the third, K. Passmore circling the net and swooping in the puck.
