Dropping Food is Greater Pleasure to Exeter Officer than Dropping Bombs TIRES REMOVED FROM STOLEN TRANSPORT On Saturday afternoon last oua of the Tuckey Transport trucks Wai? stolen in London and the, thieves, after removing six automobile tires from the cargo, abandoned the truck. Harold McDonald and Eric Heywood were In London collecting a load tp bring to Exeter, Eric had left the truck standing on Talbot street while he went into one of the stores for a pick-up parcel, He had left Harold McDonald a short distance away on a similar mission. When he came out of the store the truck was gone and Harold had taken it him to return. When to show up he went him and found him waiting. It was then they realized the truck had. been stolen, They immediately con­ tacted the police and called Mr. Tuckey in Exeter, mediately left for London by auto and picked up a couple of airmen on the way. Instead of going right into London Mr. Tuckey decided to take the back road west of the Un­ iversity into the city. Luckily they discovered the truck abandoned on a sideroad and Mr, Tuckey drove it back into the city while one of the aiimen drove his car. On an exam­ ination of the load it was discover­ ed that six tires destined for Mr. H. Laing, of the Supertest Service Station, were missing but the re­ mainder of the load was intact. Exeter mourns the loss of one of its most prominent and active citizens ixi the person pf My, Kenneth George Clarice, caretaker of the Exeter cemetery, who passed away at his home on Friday, July 6 th. in his 51st year, Mr. Clarice was taken ill two weeks previous to his death and from the first- his condition was critical. His early life yas spent in London. He was united in marriage with Miss Fran­ ces Bowey, of town, and they re­ sided in London for some time. For a number of years they lived in Windsor before coming to Exe­ ter about ten years ago. Since that time he has been the manager at the Exetei’ .cemetery and under his supervision the cemetery has grown to be one of the most attractive of its kind to be found anywhere. Mr. Clarke was a veteran of the last war and for -the past five years 'he has been secretary of the Exeter- Hensall Branch of the -Canadian Legion (B.E.S.L.) and hag been most active and energetic in pro­ moting the welfare of the Legion and through the Legion has been instrumental in the raising of funds for Red Cross and patriotic pur­ poses. Besides his bereaved widow j he is survived by one daughter, •Mrs, Roy Lamport of Crediton and an only sister, Mrs. Harry Lewis, of London. A public funeral service was held from the Trivitt Memorial Church Monday afternoon. Members of the Legion from Hensail, Kippen and Exeter, including some recently re­ turned men were present in a large body. Zone commander N. W. Mil­ ler, county clerk, was among them. Group -Captain E. G. Fullerton and a flight from the Centralia |Ajir School, were also in attendance as were the reeve and members of municipal council and of Cemetery Board. The service was conducted by Rector, Rev. M. A. Hunt, assisted by Rev. Wm, Mair, chaplain of the1 Legion, who read a scripture les­ son. Hymns “'Unto the hills around do I life up my longing eyes” and “Abide With" Me” Were sung, In closing the ~>jdhhrai sermon Mr. Hunt paid glowing tribute to the memory of the departed. They had been warm friends, he said. Mr Clarke had taken a great delight in assisting with the arrangements of the various public services that been held in the church. He kindness personified. It was greatest delight when he was dering service to someone else. He will be greatly missed in the com­ munity. The beauty of the Exetei’ cemetery was largely- due to him who had its oversight. He loved the beautiful—the flowers and shrubs. The casket was draped with the Union Jack and with a steel hel­ met. The floral tributes were mag­ nificent. Standing at attention, as the casket was opened to view the remains, were Comrades John Wil­ lis and Rufus Kestle, color bearers The bearers were Comrades Dr. E. 'S. Steiner, Andrew Easton, Reginald Knight, Peter McNaugh­ ton, Sidney McArthur and William Stone. Members of the Legion acted as flower bearers. The legion as- sited with the service at the cem­ etery, dropping a poppy upon the ■casket. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lewis, and son Gordon, of London attend­ ed the funeral. WITH CANADIANS IN THE R.A.F.—,Flight Lientenant A. R. H. Butler, Lancaster pilot, (17 Park Place), <St. Catharines, Ont., and Flying Officer T. R.

I don’t know where they could have hid it from the Gestapo all these years. Our crew got their biggest surprise, however, when four Jerry soldiers on the beach waved to us as we whipped over­ head at about 500 feet.” Fog blanketed their home air­ field after the Christmas Eve at­ tack on’ Cologne. They were divert­ ed to another airfield near Black­ pool, but it too was shrouded when they arrived. With petrol running short, they had to bail out. Flight Sergeant L. Cox, air bomber, (209 Howland A,ve.), Toronto, landed in a swamp. It was morning before some of the soaked .crew found their' way out. Flak knocked out-an engine and their oxygen system over Gelsenkir­ chen but they made their way back safely. Dunlop, who for the past sixteen years has been a prac­ tising physician in Exeter, has dis­ posed ’of his practice to Dr. R. H. Doyle, of Simcoe. Dr. Doyle, who comes to'Exeter highly recommend­ ed, will take over the practice on August 1st and will move his wife and daughter Patricia into the residence -now occupied by Dr. Dun­ lop. Graduating from the University of Toronto in 19 21 Dr. Doyle prac­ ticed in Detroit for eight years prior to moving to Simcoe where he has been for the past twelve years. A native of Toronto he is a veteran of the first Great War, serving four years -overseas with the field ar­ tillery. Dr. Dunlop, who ’has enjoyed an extensive practice, and a wide pop­ ularity, has made the decision to sell his practice and his home only after careful consideration. The heavy burden that has been placed upon the medical profession during the war years and the rigor of travel during the winter months, have been contributing factors to the doctor’s decision. At the pres­ ent time he has no plans for the future.
