Sponsored by THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) J in the interests of nutrition and health i as an aid to Victory- A well attended convention of the C.C,F., the first to be held in the rid- ing of South Huron, was held In the Town Hall. Hensall, on Wednesday evening, July 21st, and it was 1.30 o’clock Thursday morning before the gathering dispersed. Harold Jack- son, of Seaforth, was the able chair­ man. 8 Five were nominated: Reg "McGee, Goderich; Harold Jackson, Seaforth; Mrs. Lloyd Taylor, Exeter; Wm. M. Sproat. Seaforth; and Edwin Ches­ ney, Seaforth. Each nominee spoke briefly and all withdrew their names. J. H. Brockelbank, M.L.A., Leader of the Opposition in the Saskatche­ wan Legislature, conducted the or­ ganization. Officers appointed were: President. Joseph Forrest, Londes- boro; vice-president, Wm. Landsbor- ough, Clinton; secretary-treasurer, to be appointed by executive. The speaker, Mr. Brockelbank, in , addressing the gathering, said that the C.C.F. differs fundamentally from the old political parties in that it was organized by the’farmers and work­ ing people and is supported directly by them financially with work for the C.C.F. cause and* with their vote3. This fact explains the phenomenal growth of the Co-operative Common­ wealth Federation. Because the peo­ ple own and control the C.C.F. and lay down its policies, the pre-election promises of the C.C.F. can be fulfill­ ed, neither Conservatives nor Liberals can make such promises and keep them because those parties receive their support from such monopoly in­ dustries as the power corporations, steel companies and liquor manufac­ turers. The speaker continued to say that the C.C.F. Government in On­ tario can develop the national resour­ ces of the province in the interests of the people, not for profit for private companies and to supply nickel and- copper to Japan to make war on China. >itTbe nutritional statements in ,,F.at~lo-W'ork-to-V(/itt” are acceptable to Nutrition Services, Department of Pensions and National Health, Ottawa, for the Canadian Nutrition Pro­ gramme, $ THIS COUPON Word was received at Staffa of the death of Mrs, Daniel H.

July 7, 19 43 Dear Mom and Dad and Gram: How do you like that for an ad- : dress—really an envelope filler. I Would you mind seeing that all my 1 relations get it as I won’t have time to write to them for quite some time. I I sent an Airgraph giving part of my past experiences of the past few days—As you may know by now we have travelled over 7 00 miles since my last letter. Actually we left our starting point at a quarter to five on July 1st and reached our desination at noon on July 5. Altogether we -have travelled well ’ over a here. ; The ■ most through territory that the Germans . and Italians had once held—we saw smashed tanks, planes, cars and trucks—and of course the graves— newly constructed at the very side of the road in many cases with only a rough cross over top. I found a 1 German helmet which I am now using as a wash basin. Jt has the eagle and swastika painted on the side and ’ it back loads of munition cactus plants. Some of the towns hereabouts are pretty badly knocked about. We at ' least feel that we are getting near a war. We have a rather interesting task before us that you will be reading about in the papers before you get this letter, most likely. Our Com­ mando course is going to be useful after all, but don’t worry-—our job is quite safe, just enough excite­ ment to make life interesting. At the moment I am sitting my big blue kit bag (remember underneath an olive tree trying write this letter on my knee, bed consists of some oliVe boughs and a blanket with a ground sheet underneath and the night blue sky above. Yesterday the temperature reached 122 degrees in the shade. I was out driving in an open Jeep looking for some equipment spaces and after driving for a few minutes the driver had to stop so we could both close our eyes—the wind was so terrifical­ ly hot that it dried up the moisture in our eyes and gnve them a most peculiar feeling. Our eyeballs just seemed to burn in their sockets— never before have I experienced heat like that. My experiences a-re picking up and we should* certainly have plenty to talk about when I do come home— that's if I have time to talk about it or feel in the mood, will probably be so glad that it’s all over that I Will’want to forget about it. Haven't had any letter from home for some time now but with this hew address they should reach me much faster, My light is fading so will have to close—Dove from your North Africa, The annual Thompson clan Union was hold at the farm home of John Pepper, Tucketsmith, with 37' members attending from the district, Races, a picnic supper and ball game highlighted the gathering, HIGH SCHOOL his chosen life work.
