George Streeter overseas. They got an empty tin can, packed it with bran, and placed five eggs safely among the packing. The eggs survived the lorig trip and arrived in good condition, so the boys may be getting more such luxuries. The Brit- ish boys who spent the week-end here remarked that the egg ration at home is one egg per person per month, so they don't get them very often. Chesley Enterprise.

Suspect Wolves or Bear When Mr. Albert Schumacher of the 8th concession returned home from Mildmay, he heard dogs barking ex- citedly in the field adjoining his bush. He went back to ascertain the cause of the commotion, and as he neared the scene, the vicious glare of a wild animal's eyes met his own, 'and being unarmed, he decided to retrace his steps homeward. Later an his own dog, which was in the party, returned home so badly that it died a few days later. Mr. Schumacher is convinced that the animal was either a bear or a wolf, Mildmay Gazette. Found Snake in Mailbox If there is anything in the world that Michael Voigt, the Formosa mail courier detests, it is a snake. Imagine then, the horror he experienced the other morning when he opened the mail box at the station to lift the let- ters for the early train, and his' hand came into contact with a live copper snake about a foot long, The reptile wound itself around. Mike's finger and fortunately did not attempt to attack its unwelcome intruder. This reptile was undoubtedly placed in the mail- box by mischievous boys. — Mildmay Gazette. Thieves Steal Gasoline The recent rationing of gasoline has put such a premium on that now pt%ec- ions fluid that frequent thefts have been reported to the police. Siphon- ing gas from parked cars is the com- mon method resorted to by the thiev- es, when they secured small quantities, but during the past week-end the light- fingered gentry went at it in a more wholesale manner removing a large quantity from the tank of the Central Service Station of which Mr, Les. T-Iallailay is the operator. — Walker- ton Herald Timee. •••,=r.,/ Woman Gets Insurance Money Mr, justice Hogg, presiding at the non-jury session of the Supreme Court, dismissed with costs the action of W.

"Phil, do you think I look well in blue? . . . Silence from behind the newspaper. The question will be re- peated. A grunt and a great show of stirring from the head of the house- hold. "Why yes , .. you look well in . . . In . . . n'm." Mrs. Phil is too interested in the catalogue to notice that the sentence is never finished. "Phil, do yOu think I should have a lace collar on my dress?" The man of the house stirs around, looks up vaguely and says in a democratic way. "Why of course." He doesn't know just what she said but figures that he has answered the question in a fine way. Mrs. Phil looks .up accusingly, "But you said that you didn't like that brown dress of mine with the lace on it," He comes out of a dangerous position in the siege of Singapore to, say, "It looks bad." There is a pained silence, 'I meant the •Singapore situa- tion, dear," he finally says. "That green dress looks fine on you." That does it! "You haven't been paying any at- tention to mei" After that everything the culprit says can be used against him. However, Mrs. Phil usually sees another dress somewhere in the cata- logue which she likes the style of and "everything settles down quietly again. "Phil, did you notice any dresses in the window of Murphy's store yest- erday?" By this time he is engrossed in Popeye and looks up laughing, "Spinach." There is another tangle which has to be unsnarled. There is a faint trace of a smirk on the dog's face and,the cat seems to get here doz- ing caught up in her throat. The next step is selecting buttons. From a bureau drawer Airs, Phil selects several cards of buttons and be. gins placing them out in neat groups oil the table, She has' formulated a plan for the dress . .. knows exactly what kind of cloth she will buy and how the dress wilt be cut. She waists to decide on the kind.of buttons to use. The husband makes several more breaks and finally reaching over selects the kind of buttons he likes best . the ones, incidentally, of which she has only two left—left hi a drawer some place. Women chit eget together and talk over dresses but a man always seems to say the wrong thing, Watch wo,, men in operation some time and see how they decide on a dress, With mysterious sweeps and waves of the arms and hands they will make the motions that signify Just how the dress ehottld be and they will under- Farmer*- .Sue ,aver Grain Sale • Seven.

Rowe suffered a dizzy spell and fell from. a ladder, receiving a shaking tip.

This is but one of the great tasks of the Canadian Red Cross; great tasks require great effort and much money. More than 40,000 prisoners-of-war food parcels are sent overseas by the Red Cross every week. This number must be more than doubled to meet the actual need. More than a million such parcels have already been sent to prisoners-of-war. It all costs money. The Canadian Red Cross Society has not campaigned nationally for funds since October, 1940. It now asks urgently for $9,000,000 in the only national campaign for war service funds to be authorized by the Govern- ment this year. Every dollar contributed by you is wisely dealt with and. economically adminis- tered. All Red Cross accounts are subject to scrutiny by the Auditor-General of Canada. The Canadian Red Cross Society maintains Enquiry Bureaus through which families in Canada obtain information regarding missing relatives. Through these Bureaus, prisoners-of-war or missing civilians are located. The work is carried on in co-opera- tion with the International Red Cross at Geneva, Switzerland. The Canadian Red Cross has supplied 36 mobile kitchen units for Britain's fire fighters. These units are equipped to go into bombed areas and feed 250 workers at a time.
