EMPRESS OF BRITAIN HAS BEEN SUNK The Empress of Britain, proud flag­ ship of Canada’s merchant marine in time of peace, and sturdy transport in war, has been sunk by “enemy action” the Admiralty and War Office an­ nounced. Casualties were placed at 45 missing while 598 persons were res­ cued. Last Saturday afternoon-when she was 150 miles west of Ireland Nazi raiders attacked her, raking her decks with machine-gun fire. High explosive as well as incendi­ ary bombs rained down on the broad decks of the 42,348-ton vessel, which little more than a year ago carried the King and Queen back to Britain after their momentous tour of Canada. As the battered ship. 10th largest passenger vessel afloat, was being towed to port, after warships had res­ cued most of those aboard,, she sud­ denly blew up and sank..:-Germans claimed that a submarinne- delivered the coup de grace but this was confirmed in London. not ITALY AND GREECE NOW AT WAR Premier Mussolini ordered his Fas­ cist forces to .attack Greece Monday in a drive for air and naval bases from which to fight Britain in the Mediter­ ranean and then, after a long confer­ ence with Hitler at Florence, an­ nounced complete agreement “on all present questions.” An announcement said ‘the Italians took action against Greece after ex­ piration of a three-houj ultimatum, de­ manding permission to occupy strat­ egic Greek territory for the duration of the war. Britain gave Greece assurance her wartime resources are behind the Bal­ kan kingdom which Italian troops in­ vaded. ’ The King and Prime Minister Churchill personally sent messages stating that Britain will give every possible help. Canadian Destroyer Margaree Sunk The Canadian destroyer Margaree lies at the bottom of the Atlantic Oc­ ean—sunk in a wartime collision at sea after escaping destruction from enemy bombers while being prepared for service in the docks of London. Missing and believed lost with this recent addition to Canada’s expanded destroyer fleet are 140 officers and men, including their brilliant, youthful officer commanding. . Thirty-one oth­ ers, rescued by the merchant vessel whose steel hull sank their ship, are now enroute to Canada, Premier King announced that the ship will be re­ placed, The Margaree was acquired from Britain to replace the destroyer Fraser, by strange coincidence also the victim of a collision.

It might be a good idea if the Hur­ ons could link up with the Huron- Perth League to the south of us in place of playing with the Bruce out­ fit, who this year could not have op­ erated without the entries from out­ side the county. The local club was not at all satisfied with the manner in which the Bruce League was con­ ducted this year and travelling such distances to play is not economically sound. The Huron-Perth league is comparatively close to us and would cut down travelling expenses and this league appears to have prospered produced some good ball clubs. and HOME AND SCHOOL CLUBS HELD RALLY South Huron Branhces Convened at Centralia A Rally of the Home and School Clubs of South Huron was held in the Centralia School on Wednesday even­ ing, Oct. 23rd, when members from Central and Victoria schools, Goder­ ich, Grand Bend, Shipka, B.

Mrs. A. Taylor, of Goderich, was invited to take charge of the program. Each club gave a short report of their work during the past year, telling of interesting speakers, worthwhile activ­ ities, and increased interest in Home and School work. The members present from schools in Stephen Township were keenly in­ terested in the Health program for the prevention of diphtheria and other contagious diseases, and a resolution, was passed that the matter be brought before the Board of Health of the Township for their consideration. Owing to distance, and difficulties in transportation, it has been found impossible to meet regularly as a County Council, so it was decided to hold an Annual Rally when reports of the year’s work will be given, and matters of general Interest may be O. E. Manning Manager discussed. Au invitation was accept­ ed to hold the Rally next year at Grand, Bend. .

G. Webb, of Shipka, being unable to accept the re­ sponsibilities at the present time. Mrs. Taylor referred to the cam­ paign in Oxford and Middlesex Coun­ ties for the Beautification of Rural Schools, and suggested that the Rural Schools represented at the Rally might give .a lead to a campaign for Huron. Community singing, instrumental numbers, a reading, and a splendid solo were contributed by members of the various clubs, and the meeting- closed with the singing of the Nation­ al Anthem. 1 * ; Refreshments were served by the' Centralia members, and a cordial vote of thanks was tendered to them by Miss G.
