WANT NEW HATS—Men who
wear the Royal Canadian Navy
hats want a change of style.
They want something distinctive
And, if that sounds too much
like a girlish demand, they point
out that style, in this case, is
functional. They say the pre
sent style always results in their
being mistaken for British sea
men and that’s embarrassing
sometimes. And on top of all
that, they want to be identified
as Canadians by their chapeau.
Something new and different
such as a beret, a pom-pom, is
the seaman’s choice. C.P.C
Good Hay Harvest
Harold Campbell, Hay Town
ship, had a better-than-average
hay crop this year. Besides the
value of his hay, he harvested a
wallet containing over $200. He
lost it last year during elec

vertised for it and did every
thing possible to locate it but he
finally chalked it down to bad
luck.
The wallet was dropped in a
manure pile and spread over the
field this spring. It was noticed
during the hay cutting. The bills
were faded but the bank accept
ed them.
