BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS A nation-wide campaign will be conducted, throughout Canada very soon to enlist 2,000,000 Canadians who will be asked to pledge themselves to buy $10,000,000 in war savings certifi­ cates each month, Wingham, to hold up its end in this campaign, would have to buy $2,000 per month. The present sales for the Dominion are about $3,000,000 monthly, so it will require an enormous effort to reach the objective of $10,000,000. Wingham has already planned a campaign and all will be given an opportunity to take part. The War Savings Commit­ tee of the Patriotic Association will launch a campaign here the end of •this week. High School students will conduct the canvass and make regular calls as required to sell war savings stamps. Plan now to take part in this very important part of Canada’s war effort. You will not only help your country but will also be making an in­ vestment backed by the resources of our country. The call for help is go­ ing out to you. Be sure you answer by planning to invest systematically. , * * * * # AFFECTS SMALL CENTRES That the successful operation of hospitals in smaller centres is becom­ ing increasingly difficult is generally recognized. Practically all the smaller hospitals at one time conducted train­ ing schools which supplied the various localities with nurses. To-day this is a thing of the past in most cases, as ’ restrictions have been made so string­ ent that it is impossible for small hos­ pitals to conduct training schools. The result is that before very long the rur- CAPORAL “THE PUREST FORM IN WHICH TOBACCO CAN BE SMOKED." al sections will not have sufficient nurses to meet their requirements. ’ Goderich Hospital had continued- to conduct a training school but now have decided to dispense with this ac­ tivity. The present class of’ ten will finish their training in schools at Lon­ don, St. Thomas and Brantford- The reason given for this action is that it has been increasingly difficult for the board to meet present regulations fin­ ancially, which required the services of an instructress for the training school alone. For years nurses grad­ uated, from the small hospitals and -served their home communities wel£ but anyone who now desires this train­ ing must go to the larger centres, # THE MAN OF THE YEAR WinstOn Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain, was chosen by Time magazine as "the man’of the year" for 1940, A selection is made yearly by the management of the magazine. This selection will meet with world-wide approval except in Germany, Italy and Japan. Even Russia will, we think, concur. Churchill has done and is do­ ing a wonderful job for Britain, the Empire and Democracy. His fearless, frank manner and his brilliant mind, have captured the hearts or the peo­ ple. When he took over he said "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat . . come then, let us go forward together with our united strength." And forward the Empire went. Later when the threat of invas­ ion was greatest, he said "British air­ men . . are turning the tide . . Never . in the field of human conflict was so - much owed by so many to so few.” He said of Hitler: "Herr Hitler pro­ tests with frantic words and gestures that he only desired peace. What do these ravings and outpourings count before the silence of Neville Chamber­ lain’s tomb?" Of Mussolini, he said to the Italian people, "One man and one man alone, ordered Italian sold­ iers to ravage their neighbor’s vine­ yard. Surely the time has come when the Italian monarchy and people, who ,guard the sacred centre of Christen­ dom, should have a word to say about these awe-inspiring issues.” These are sayings from the lips of “the man of the year”, Winston Churchill.

WINGHAM AD VANCE’TIMES outlet for nylon yarns, the unique pro- ! perties of this new mammade textile fiber are such as to suggest a wide variety of uses, writes Ted Sanderson in the December issue of C-I-L Oval. In telling the story of nylon, its birth and potentialities, Mr., Sander­ son states that knit goods, woven dress materials, lace and silk, are just a few of the fields that may well bene­ fit from its hard-wearing, quick-dry­ ing qualities. A highly specialized pos­ sible application for nylon yarn is in the making of parachutes, which up to now' have been made only of silk from the Orient, Textiles, "however, by no means end the possibilities for nylon, declares the writer,' While solid nylon filaments may be drawn so fine as to be almost invisible, they may also be made coarse enough for bristles, or even rods. In this way nylon monofilament bristles find their way into aH kinds of industrial and miscellaneous brush­ es and are said to wear at least twice as long as the best natural ones, From this filament also comes fishing lead­ ers, strings for tennis racquets, surgic­ al sutures and musical instrument strings. So it is, concludes Mr. Sanderson’s article, that in the few short months of nylon’s introduction, men and wo­ men with diverse'aims and thoughts have found in it a new and unexpected friend. Who can venture to predict the scope of the ultimate field of nylon? causing the gun to discharge.

The sun was shining on the doorstep and the caterpillar was moving as briskly as in summertime. This .is interpreted as another sign of an open winter. — Orangeville Banner. Bagged Fox Carman Thompson shot another fox to bring the total of three local hunt­ ers this winter up to an even half doz­ en. Herb. Duffy has got three so far, Carman two, and J. C. McIntyre one. However, Carman’s victim on Monday proved about the best -of the bunch, and was certainly the largest fox. — Tees water News. Heavy Losses For Sheep In the financial statement of Mel- anchthon Township, payments for "sheep killed by dogs” looms large. The total sum in 1940 was $938.75. This is a record for the township. In ,1937 $823.30 was paid. Over a period of twelve years, $7,600 has been lost in this way. The dog taxes have paid this huge bill. — Arthur Enterprise- News. Bullet Smashed Finger Art Juergens, of Carrick, had two fingers on his left hand injured when a repeating rifle discharged sending a soft nosed bullet through the joint on his third finger, and grazing the other. On examination at the Hanover Hos­ pital it was found necessary to ampu­ tate -the one finger. The gun had been ,‘uspended from the stable ceiling by two straps, and Art not knowing it was loaded, went to remove it to clean it when the trigger caught in one of the straps causing it to go off. The bullet passed between two other per­ sons present and lodged in the oppos­ ite wall.

He stood the gun against the fence with the butt on the ground and bent over to unfasten his coat. When do­ ing so the gun discharged and the charge entered his right .chest. He died almost instantly. Judge Costello and Ray Dean heard the shot and turned in time to see the young man fall. Coroner Dr. W. S. Gallow was called and decided an inquest was not necessary.

No Fires in1940 The village has been very fortunate in having no fires in 1940.’ Not even an alarm'was given, and our citizens are to be commended for their pre­ cautions to prevent any outbreak of flames.

The motorist, giving his name as Mr. Robertson, stated that he was out of gas about a mile down the road, and wanted to call a garage. The gen­ erous farmer, realizing the position he was in, and at such an hour, played the part of the Good Samaritan. He filled a five-gallon Can of gas and went with the motorist to the stranded car where he found another man behind the wheel. The can was drained of its gasoline, the starter was stepped on, the motor responded, and with 'Mr, Roberston’ on -the .running board away it went, to the amazement of Mr, Far-, iner, but who was not too amazed to take the license number 194-V-5. ’Lucknow Sentinel.

INDIANS TOO GOOD FOR PORT ALBERT R.A.F.’s from Port Albert Snowed Up 18-5 None Qualify at Auburn Although seven men were nominat­ ed for the office of village trustee at Auburn, all failed to qualify, thus ne­ cessitating another nomination meet­ ing. The trustees for 1040 were James W. Medd, Thomas &iddell and Edgar Lawson, Two-Tone Colored Egg With two-toned curs taking* the limelight in the automotive world, there is at least one hen that does not want to take a back seat. While grad­ ing a crate of eggs, Gordon Brown, of Bridget!, a merchant, discovered an egg with the pointed end a deep ted color and the other half was a gray color, The egg was divided evenly us to color as though it had been painted by hand. Without extending themselves to any great extent, the Indians opened the hockey season here Friday night by defeating the Port Albert R.A.F. by the cricket score of 18-5. The game was late in getting -under way as the bus carrying the airmen broke an axle, patiently started. It was the refereeing was concerned. Two of­ ficials were on hand, Gregg from Kin­ cardine and Kemp, of Listowel. These games support but one referee but, through a misunderstanding, two were on the job. The game was just a good work­ out for the Indians. They were able to score at will ahd at that they had only two lines and one extra defense- ‘ mam The lines were re-arranged from the exhibition game which was played against Listowel. Cy. Proctor and his brother, Dan, with Johnson, formed an effective line, while Nichol, Foster and Elliott teamed up splendidly on the other line. Fromanger and Eng­ lish, with the aid of Bert Mitchell, did good defense wotk as well as some good rushing. Strake, in goal, was not overworked and probably would do better in a tighter game. This kid will do. There is little to say except that the Indians were too good for the R.A.F/s but the fliers will do better as they had not been on ice this year and had only received their equipment the day of the game.

"Because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation" disaster will come upon youi cried otir Lord over I-Iis be­ loved city Jerusalem, A few short years and the disaster fell. He had visited the city, but >the’city declined to receive Him. On more than one occasion He visited and On every oc­ casion she rejected. It is so with us. God visits us frequently and on every and more often than not we "know not the time of bur visitation." Such a visit is made in opportunity, which is buf the unveiling of * His presence. When the door opens upon thq way of sacrifice and enlargement, He is there. No longer does He visit us in bodily form. He comes in the form of cir­ cumstances. He speaks to us in the voice of events. We may see His com­ ings arid goings in the movement of the day, We may see Him in a tend­ ency: wb may hear Him in a chal­ lenge: we may find Him in the midst of upheaval and unrest. He comes to us in the brightness of some glorious hope, and He comes to us in the shad­ ow of some chilling disappointment visiting us "in the night seasons." ..What a fine attainment in grace it is to be able so to interpret events as to discern the presence of the Lord! We are advancing in His school when we know the time of His visitations, when we can look upon the robe of light, or the pale of darkness and say "It is the Lord." But*when events have no divine significance, when they i are as empty as a drum, life becomes *a very hollow procession, Nay it is not a procession, it is only a wild dis­ orderly assemblage of blind and war­ ring instincts, rushing out of the night into the night again. Then let us train ourselves to rec* ognize the divine, visitation, to dis­ cern the "Visitor." Let us train our­ selves to know Him as He comes to th© door. He is not the ordinary knock. It is easily discernible. All we need is the consecrated ear, the ear sanctified in the consecrated hearts. When the heart is sanctified all the scribes are awake to the presence of the Lord.
