kinds of talent
One of our air
women, A.W.l Woodworth, is par
ticularly gifted in the writing of
verse. We append herewith an ex
ample of her work and we are sure
that readers will appreciate its
beauty of thought and feeling,
Though They Died
And though, they died, there still
Are flaming maples on the hill,
Blue waters laughing, trailing vines,
Wind malting music in the pines.
And still the sparks fly upward,
Little children play,
Though there are places empty
At the close of day.
Life must go on, and spring will
come once more,
Great storms throw strange new
shells upon the shore.
They would not want you to forget
To walk at evening when the sun is
set.
Remember mountains, veiled with
coming rain,
To laugh sometimes, and learn to
laugh again.
A.W.l Wood worth. Al. N.

fight. It is believed 17 Liberals
have been elected and 12 Conser
vatives. Last year there were 14
of the former and fifteen of the lat
ter.
Those seeking the wardenship are
Reeves Alex MacDonald, Ashfield;

es of the law and complaints; an
average of nearly 15,000 miles for
each.
There was no serious crime re
ported. Petty thefts headed the
list, with breaches of the Liquor
Control Act next. Tweuty-five
cases of alleged subversive activity

written by Don to the LO.D.E. at
Goderich, thanking them fpr one of
their ditty bags. It reads: Ahoy
Goderich LO.D.E. Here I am writ
ing to you people for the lovely dit
ty bag t received on board from our
Captain. They are a wonderful
present and mean quite a bit in
passing the time at Christmas and
shows that the people back home
• have not forgotten. Some Of the
men have their friends to send them
parcels, but on the other hand, some
of them have nobody?1
COMMUNICATION
The city of Woodstock has a good
suggestion in inviting the farmers
who received help from the town
citizens with their crops in the sum’
mer and fall to return the favor by
helping with their teams and sleighs
in hauling away the snow from
Main street after each heavy fall
of snow. This idea can nicely be
passed on to the farmers of the
Exeter district, because there is
hardly a* farmer who received help
in 1942 or who expects to receive
help in 1943 who could not help
several afternoons during the win
ter. Sleighs are the important
things at this job, and we hope this
will be acted upon.
