Results Are For Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 LAWRENCE HISELER HOME FROM ENGLAND Says It Peels Great To Be I•lorne The first soldier to return home to. Wingham from Overseas is Pte, Law- Tence Hiseler of the R.C.0,C., who arrived in town by bus on Monday -afternoon, He landed in New York +Friday evening (and left that port for London Saturday morning, He says that the trip back was quite unevents Sul but that some distance from the ship on which he travelled depth .charges were dropped and it was be- lieved that a submarine had been des- troyed. Lawrence enlisted in March, 1941 and proceeded overseas in January this year. The crossing was a very rough one the -storms being very bad and rite waves at times rising to the height .of 75 feet. While enroute, during a roil call, the boat listed badly and several soldiers were thrown to the -deck. Lawrence was one of them and he was thrown .on the bottom of the pile and injured his back. He thought little of the incident at .the time but after arriving in England and taking commando training his back became -very sore so he reported to the medi- cal officer who discovered that the lower vertebrae has been torn from the spine. He was immediately placed in hospital and boarded for Canada. After -two weeks leave here he will report to London for further examination. Lawrence says that the commando training is really strenuous but it keeps the boys over there in good spirits and in wonderful .condition. On behalf of his friends here we 'extend the hope that his injury will very soon cease to trouble him.

PUPILS HONOR PRINCIPAL MIXED BOWLING - TOURNEY HELD Twenty Rinks Took Part In The Play The County of North Huron Loyal . Orange Lodge, attended Divine Serv- ice in the evening at St. Paul's church, The members met at the hall of Wing, ham. L.O.L. 794 and directed by the Martial and Standard Bearer proceed- ed to the 'Church. County Master, Robert Wallace of Blyth, and R, W. Bro. R. J. McMurray as well as many County officers were present. The service was conducted by Right Worshipful Brother, Rev. B, 0. Gal- lagher, Deputy Grand Chaplain of Ontario West and Master of Wing- ham L.O,L., who also addressed the brethern, The offertory anthen was "0 Lord be Gracious unto us," A special service form was provided for the use of the brethern. In his address, the rector described briefly the history of the Christian Church, since its beginning and the work of the Orange Association the past 258 years, and the history of Can- ada in the past 75 years. He was not here, he said, to extol the virtues of the Association, but rather to paint.' out its responsibilities; In 75 years Canada had not solved her political, race or religious problems. She had been a nation of compromises. Can- ada had not turned out to be what the founders of Confederation thought she would be. She could not depend on her own good earth, The nation must choose good, but can only do so by setting its eyes on the One who is supremely good, and then ask whether He would consent to that action. Our most dangerous enemy is apathy. The Bible gives us no hope of build- ing a worldly kingdom. At the end of human progress stands death. Be- yond. Death stands Judgment Day, the resurrection to life or damnation. To solve the problem of death, more than the Golden Rule is needed. We need God Himself. We need Jesus as Lord and Saviour, not a sermon on being good, but the Cross, and the Resurrec- tion from the dead, the forgiveness of sins and the Holy Ghost. Children Playing With Matches Cause Qf Blaze A fire at the home of Mrs. Lloyd Hayden on Thursday afternoon did about $100 damage to the kitchen be- fore it was brought under control.
