Elliot The Exetei’ Branch of the Cross Society has again1 exceeded all previous efforts in -the annual campaign for funds that are large­ ly used to send parcels to prisoners of war in enemy countries. Last year Exeter and District sub­ scribed $7,618, of which Exeter gave $2,903, the Airport $1,166, Huron County Council $600, and the dis­ trict surrounding Exeter $2,949. This year the quota set for Exeter and District was $7,000, and we confidently expect that when all re­ turns are in the $8,000 mark will be passed. At this writing Exeter has sub­ scribed $3,336, the Airport $1,079, Huron County Council $600, and the district $2,674, with Dashwood and a few other smaller canvassing dis- stricts to hear from. The total to date is $7/689: Notes of the Campaign Every canvassing district in Exe­ ter exceeded the amount received last year. Among the rural districts that passed last year’s mark to date are Zion, Elimville, Thames Road, Hurondale, Sections 4 and 5 Us­ borne (last year one unit, this year two units), No. 4 Highway north, cons. 2 and 3 Stephen, Grand Bend, Crediton, Centralia, Dashwood, and all the others were close to and when all reports are in doubtedly be over. We would like to give credit to every canvasser in trict for the effort they put into the work, and it was a very fine effort indeed-; likewise we would like to give personal credit to every con­ tributor, but since we do not pub­ lish a list we are unable to do so, consequently the best we can do is to thank one and all for contributing to fine result achieved. The Hay Township Fire Insurance Co., at a recent meeting voted $2'0 0 for the Red Cross Canvass and $200 for the Navy League. The Red Cross donation is divided equally among four branches, Exetei*, Hensail, Zurich and Varna, each receiving $50.00.

Lome Howey, D.F.C., who has been on instructional duties with the R.C,A.J\ at Debert, N.S., has been granted his release with the airforce and has accepted, a position as pilot with the Trans­ continental Canadian Airways. Fit. Lieut. Howey, son of Mrs. L. F. Howey, of town, returned from over­ seas in February of last year after spending over a year in England where he piloted one of the big Hudson bombers.

He was a member of the “Demon” squadron of the Coastal Command. We congratulate him on his new appointment. ■ave at at by 1944 were were read motion of Sweitzer: . Library Flying Officer Ted Buswell in writing to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Buswell, from Gibraltar, tells of an interesting meeting he with Jack Wadland, formerly C.'A. officer at No. 9, S.F.T.S., Cen­ tralia, now supervisor of Y.M.C.A.’s in the Mediterranean theatre. The two men met by chance in the of­ ficer’s mess and chatted over old times at Centralia. Mr. Wadland while at Cetralia was the editor of the Airport News which appeared in the Times-Advocate.. Ted produced a copy of the paper which Mr. Wad­ land eagerly perused. Ted says "de­ voured” but anyone eating a copy of the Times-Advocate would surely get indigestion. Mr. Wadland en­ quired about another old friend, F.O. Weston, and Ted asked him if he would like to see him, and promptly called him in from another room. There was an interesting talk­ fest reviewing old times. The meet­ ing of Buswell and Weston is anoth­ er interesting story. While the two were at Centralia Weston was Bus­ well’s instructor and while on fly­ ing operations they took a trip over Lucknow and there discovered that Weston as a lad had spent his sum­ mer holidays at Lucknow and he and Ted had played together as chums. They had come together again by chance at Gibraltar. There is an old saying that it is a small world. had Y.M.
