BOY DESCRIBES RAID BY GERMAN BOMBER 13-Year-Old Lad Writes to Aunt in Hensall The-J.’ollowing letter„was received by Mrs. Maude Hedden, Hensall, from her nephew, Roy Copperwaite, of Reading, Eng., who is 13 years of age: Dear Aunt Maude: Wjell, the sirens have just gone. I suppose we are in for it again. Did Mum tell you about the bombs that were dropped on Broad street kil­ ling 4il people and injuring 90? I was on Broad street when it happen­ ed. Lots of people saw him come over and he swooped low and drop­ ped three bombs. One hit Welstead' straight on the top of it, almost leveling it to the ground. The other hit a restaurant killing 41 people, the other hit St. Lawrence Church causing much damage. The Arcade was completely shattered. Glass was all over the place and all the shop windows were out for a half mile around. A bus had its body smashed. As Uncle Jack and I walked home we saw them bringing the dead out. You see’Uncle Jack and I had just come out of the picture show when it happened. Well, I can give you a jolly good description of the plane. She was black like most of them and was a Dornier DO.217. Well, the all clear has just gone; thank goodness for that. Well, the family are going to come to Canada after the war, as we have made up our minds. 1 Your loving nephew, Roy. 14 Leopald Road, Reading, Eng­ land.

The Shipka Honor Roll was unveiled by Mrs. William Lovie, after which the minister, Rev. Lawrence I-I. Turner, B.A. of­ fered the dedicatory prayer. The guest speaker, Rev, C. K. Salisbury, delivered a very thought­ ful and challenging sermon on "Freedom" defining firstly, its negative aspect of deliverance from tyrany and oppression. This, he said, is the crux of all our struggles and sacrifices. There is, however, a positive aspect of freedom, main­ ly, the expression of personality in terms of friendship with God. Only within the realm of sonship and daughtership with God can persona­ lity rightly and faithfully express its freedom. The only freedom worth­ while is that of the pursuance of the truth as it is expressed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thanks is expressed to the chap­ lain of the Centralia Airport for his generosity in the giving of his time and talent. The names inscribed on the hon­ or rolls are: Crediton—John F.
