THESE ARE NOVEL WAR SOUVENIRS Horseshoe and Rings Made from Ger­ man Plane Received in Lucknow ser- OBITUARY Henry Howard A veteran, with 20 years army vice, Henry Howard passed on in his sleep shortly after midnight Thursday last at his residence Charles Street. He was in his 61st year. Six years ago Mr. Howard suffered a stroke and since that time has not enjoyed good health, but up until last May was about and able to’do some work, but since May had been confined to home d-ue to a heart condition. Mr, Howard served the Empire well. He was a veteran member of the Norfolk Regiment' of England and with it served in China, India and the Boer War. In 1912 he came to Wing­ ham and when the Great War broke out two years later he joined the 1st Battalion of the Canadian Expedition­ ary Force, serving throughout the conflict without injury, returning to Wingham in 1919, He was a native of England, his home town being Nor­ wich. Twenty-one years ago he mar­ ried Mrs. Susan Chittieburg. He leaves to mourn his passing, his wife, a daughter, Lilian, and a son, Harry, both at home. He is also sur­ vived by two step-children, Mrs, A. M. Forbes and Robert Chittieburg, al­ so of town. One sister, Emily, and a brother, William, reside at Norwich, England. The funeral service was held in St. Paul’s Anglican Church, of which he was a member, Monday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev, E. O. Gallagher, the rector. Wingham Branch No. 180, Canadian Legion, B. E.S.L., attended in a body and honor­ ed their departed member with a ser­ vice at the graveside conducted by the Legion chaplain, Comrade Rev. W. A. Beecroft. The Last Post and Reveille were sounded by Sergt. Alvin Ham­ mond. Members of the Legion were pall­ bearers and flower-bearers. The pall­ bearers were: George Williams, Frank Sturdy, Frank Seddon, William Case- more, Percy Harris, Tenant Hender­ son. Burial took place in Wingham Cem­ etery. Herb. McQuillin, with the Royal Canadian Engineers, somewhere in England, who was pn leave at the time a German plane was shot down after an attack on Windsor Castle last fall* secured a piece of aluminum off the wrecked machine from which he made a horseshoe and two rings. These priz­ ed souvenirs were received by Mrs, McQuillin, of Lucknow, last week. En­ graved on the horseshoe is “Mother and Boys from Dad,” and on the back of it the date the plane was brought down, October 3, 1940. The two rings for his sons, Sam and Carman, have their initials inscribed. John .Haller A life-long resident of Preston, John Haller, father of Mr. George Haller, of town, passed on in St. Marys Hos­ pital, Kitchener, on Jan. Sth. He was in his 84th year and had been confin­ ed to his bed for the greater part of the past four years due to a leg injury. He was in hospital for two weeks. In October last year he and Mrs. Haller celebrated their 59th wedding anniver­ sary at their home.

E. Bellerose, General Manager, Can­ adian National Express. Such pack­ ages on which express charges must be prepaid have certain limitations as to weight and measurement, and food­ stuffs must not be packed with other articles not in that category, he said. By bonefide gift shipments is meant that the shipment has been sent entire­ ly unsolicited, and that no transfer of money will be made in respect of such gift, neither must gift shipments in­ clude jewellery, money, securities or goods of great value, Mr. Bellerose explained. It is pointed out that owing to the uncertainty of sailings and the limited amount of steamship space available, all gift shipments are subject to delay, and perishable goods will be carried entirely at owner’s risk, no cold stor­ age on steamships being available at the present time. While gift parcels for members of the Canadian Active Service Force and Canadians serving: in the United Kingdom Forces enter the United Kingdom duty free, stated Mr. Bellerose, those for private indi­ viduals are subject to regular customs duty; however, if acompanied by pro­ per certificates of origin, preferential rates of duty can be obtained, The forwardance of gift shipments, particularly foodstuffs, to the United Kingdom is steadily increasing, he said. The fact that arrangements can be made with the Canadian National Express for the payment of customs duty and other charges, thus ensuring of the shipments being delivered without payment of any duty or charges by consignees, should prove of considerable advantage to senders of packages overseas during war lime, Mr. Bellerose concluded.
