A WOMEN AND WAR WORK During the Great War and after, it was said by many who should know, that the women of Canada made a -Contribution to war effort the value of which could not stated in dollars ■and cents. The work carried on by the women of Canada was thoroughly appreciated by those who were on ac­ tive service. Canada has at present 4150,000 women who have registered for war work. This fig-ure we are sure <does not begin to tell the story of the war effort put forth by our women Ms there are large numbers who make socks, etc., for the Red Cross in their homes who are not included in this number. The prompt and efficient manner with vfrhich the local women took hold of the Red Cross work here was truly wonderful and those who missed attending the display of the r J $ The Bray Chick does the trick.

Comparatively, the Finns did not have a greatt loss of life’ but many of their citjes and towns suffered great dam­ age from bombs. It has been said that if help could* have been sent to Fin­ land' she could have held out against the Russian horde. The responsibil­ ity for this lack of help apparently rests on Norway and Sweden as these countries would not allow any organ­ ized help to cross their lands, to Fin­ land. Britain and France stood ready to help this little nation that won the admiration of the world by their splendid resistance but these friendly nations were unable to apt as Finland was in an isolated position. The Finn­ ish parliament accepted the peace treaty but if Norway and Sweden had played the game a very different chap­ ter might have been written on the history of Finland. ■ * * * . * HITLER TO STRIKE According to reports last week Hit­ ler is planning to invade the Nether­ lands. It is said, that his excuse for so doing will be that Germany re­ quires air and submarine bases to ef­ fectively combat the British and • French blockade. It would appear that’ it is almost an impossible task for Germany to crack the Maginot line and, no doubt, to keep the people of Germany keyed up Hitler may try his hand against the law countries. The way of a dictator is to keep the people in a state of excitement by pro­ paganda and other means. When one begins to fail the other method is adopted. The German people were told that German^’' could win in the other side as they did in Poland. It 'Sfis 4 r jr . WIKGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES Thursday, March 2I»t, 194# may be that this war of nerves is get* ting the people and ..that Hitler, to stop unrest, will try his luck as stated above. The blockade is having a great effect on the people of Germany and there is no doubt they will try some­ thing soon to try and offset the effect it is having on their people, We must be prepared for action that may come this spring* NEWS of the DISTRICT Baby Scalded • Walter, little’ son of Mr, and Mrs, Fred R.

Al­ though the Indians succeeded in scalp­ ing the Sepoys they came home with sore heel’s; batter shins and other cuts and,* bruises that required repair* It was a case of home , town refereeing (?) and these teams can mix it Up without this added, provocation. The Indians bowed to the Luck­ now team here so this win makes the Indians feel like doing a war dance. There was a large number of fans made the trip to see the battle and they all felt that the Indians should have won by a much larger score* The Indians had two &oals called back on them, among other bright de­ cisions.

The game was a real thriller and the kids deserve ’great praise for their efforts not only in this game hut throughout the winter* To name a star for our team would /M-* ■* * C-410B ' t not be fair but one cannot but men­ tion the fine work of. Wilson, in goal. He was injured into the bargain, in the second period, but gamely^com- pleted the game. The first .period, was .decidedly Wingham. The Lions grabbed off five goals and it looked, like there was to be a walk-away,. and when Hamil­ ton scored in a minute of the second frame to make it six-love, thet fans were ready to watch a rout. Things changed quite rapidly, as the Elora kids tied, things up by the time the period was a little over half over. Wilson was hurt just after the Rocks got their girst goal but came back to finish the game. The period was on the way out when the Lion* again took the le£d on a G. johnson- Weiss play. The third period was the kind you read about and, for young players they surely turned it on. Biggs and Weiss combined for a goal early in the per­ iod and With two up the Lions kept fighting anti the Rocks kept pressing but could not put one by Wilson. Alt in all, It was a great game from a spectator’s, point of view, but the vis­ itors made a great come-back that just about gave some of the crowd heart failure..
