COUNTY DRIVE FOR
SCRAP METAL
Each Municipality Will Be Organized
By The Reeve
There is a concerted drive on at
the present time to raise money for
the, Third Victory Loan. It is grati-
fying to know that this campaign is
meeting with success. This money is
very necessary to keep our ArMed
Forces supplied.
The necessity to have all scrap iron
and steel collected is just as vital as
the collecting of money, for without
this material the necessary war
machinery cannot be manufactured,
The Steel Controller, realizing that
tons of scrap are lying around
throughout the entire Dominion, pas-
sed an order making it an offence to
retain more than 500 lbs.
The Wardens of each County have
been named as representative of the
Steel Controller and he in turn dele-
gated the Reeves as his representative
in each Municipality. A campaign
for the collection of scrap iron and
steel will be started on November 1st
and must be removed from the prem-
ises of every person by December 15.
The person having scrap iron and
steel has the privilege of disposing of
it in whatever manner he sees fit,
either by sale or donating it to some
War Service organization but in any
event he must not retain more than
500 lbs. The Warden and his Com-
mittees have the power to enforce this
law. The need for scrap is urgent
and it the intention of the Controller
p have it collected,
Each Municipality will be organiz-
ed for the collection of Salvage under
the Reeve and his Council, and it is
the duty of every citizen to co-oper-
ate to the fullest extent. Citizens are
requested to contact the Reeve or a
member of his Council for details of
their particular campaign.
The County of Huron has an envi-
able name in patriotic endeavor' and
they will rise to occasion in this mat-
ter as in other campaigns.
FARM INSURANCE
COMPANIES MET
District Farm Mutual Insurance
Companies held their Fall meeting at
Formosa on Thursday, October 22nd.
The meeting was attended by about
45 delegates from the various Comp-
anies.
The chief topic of discussion as in
previous meetings was how to draw
to the attention of the insuring public
the necessity of fire prevention. A
newspaper campaign for reduction in
fire losses had been sponsored through
the weekly papers, and the Companies
hoped that these items brought to the
attention of the insuring public were
well received and that many policy-
holders heeded the warnings given by
repairing some defect which they
found on their premises,
Several of the Companies advised
that their loss ratio was somewhat
higher than in the previous year, and
most losses could have been avoided
had the proper precautions been taken.
The unfortunate circumstances of a
fire at times such as these naturally
is that when a fire starts production
stops and the fact that today it is
practically impossible to rebuild, any
destroyed structure..
The meeting was presided over by
the President of the Group, F. W.
Hammond of Shelburne.

EVENING AUXILIARY
OCTOBER MEETING
Report Of Sectional Meeting Given
By Mrs. Howson and Mrs. Webster
The October meeting of the Even-
ing Auxiliary took place on Tuesday
last, at the home of Miss B. Bennett.
Miss Kate McGregor took charge of
the opening worship period, following
the form* in the Missionary Monthly
and using as the theme, "The Church
in My Community." Those assisting
were Miss D. Howell, a prayer; Mrs
A. Adams, the scripture and Miss K.
Wallace, the topic. This was made
very interesting indeed for the group,
and it dealt with the church and the
home. Miss Wallace pointed out, the
great effect that the home has on the
training of citizens, stating- that the
most .fundamental characteristics 'were
formed in the hcme before a child had
reached the age of 5 years. With the
help of the group, • characteristics
making up a Christian home were tab-
ulated, the following being the ones
suggested: (1) Co-operation; (2) Tol-
erance; (3). Honesty; (4) Dependabil-
ity; (5) Sympathy; (6) Affection; (7)
Moral, Wholesomeness; (8) Security.
Various members of the group helped
to develop the topic by reading selec-
ted passages from various books, art-
icles and periodicals. Miss Wallace
pointed out that modern life is very
complicated and hence tends to sep-
arate the family. The duty of the
church was therefore to develop a high,
sense of conduct and of value. show-
ing the different sections of ,a city and
its citizens, she indicated just how the
church could assist and what its duty
was there.
The busisess was conducted by
S. Hall. The regular business was
attended ,to and then Mrs. Webster
and Mrs, George Howson gave their
reports of the Sectional Meeting which
took place this month, The Treasur-
ers' Report showed that the receipts
to date amounted to $141,00, which
indicted that the members would have
to decide how the balance from $300.-
00 was to be raised by the end of tile
year. Several stiggestions. were made,
but it was finally decided that a gift
of fifty cents or Fiore from each

Mrs. 0. G.' Anderson, ,president of
the W. F. W. 0, was called on for a
few words and emphasized the need
of the Municipal Health plan and ad-
vised a committee in each unit to
further the activity-up till now Mrs,
Anderson said, we have worked on
cures, which are costly. Prevention
had never been tried,
George Watt, president of ,Hullett
Township Federation brought greet-
ings and said he believed the sucess
of any unit depended largely on the
directors in ...he various school sec-
tions.
Mr. Scott in commencing his ad-
dress outlined the basis of the Feder-.
ation which is the township unit, the
county, the province and the Domin-
ion. The greatest unity in Canadian
agriculture had been achieved under
the Canadian Federation of Agricul-
ture, and today it speaks with one
voice for Canadian agriculture. It's
council and advice is being increasing-
ly sought by Government agencies to
assist them in carrying out Canada's
wartime program, Mr. Scott urged
radio forums, and township feder-
ations to carry on to their utmost abil-
ity a program of "Food for Victory"
with the new price ceiling policies
now in effect and the advisory Lon).-
mittees to the 'Government function-
ing for many farm, products the speak-
er believes that agriculture is win-
ning its way toward greater respect
as an industry, better understanding
and more satisfactory adjustment in
the national economy. Mr. Scott ex-
plained that a committee of the Fed-
eration is now working with the In-
come Tax department to simplify if
possible, the present Income Tax
form, and intimated that the Income
Tax department were anxious that
farmers should, for their own protec-
tion against misimpressions on the
part of other groups ,fill in these
forms for 1942 and that the depart-
rnent would render them every assist-
ance possible, in so doing. In conclu-
sion, Mr. Scott felt that great changes
were upon us, that what was now be-
ing done in giving, supplies .to needy
people would probably continue under
the Atlantic Charter of freedom from
want everywhere. That the produc-
tion and distribution of essentials of
life and happiness widely distributed

task of searching out sea raiders and
protecting- shipping from the scourge
of submarine wolf-packs. Its planes-
huge, twin-motored craft range far
out over the North Atlantic every day
and night, Bad weather, poor visibil-
ity, extreme icing conditions mewl lit-
tle to these lads, When the seagulls
are thumbing rides, the planes of this
Squadron are still in the air looking
for subs,
They find them, too. Security does
not permit revelation of details of at-
tacks and the results achieved., hut
when the record of this war is writ-
ten, some pages will be devoted to the
exploits of this group.
Visit the squadron at their base and
you'll be struck very forcibly by one
fact. A bomber crew is not a collec-
tion of individuals but rather a well-
co-ordinated team. It is in many re-
spects like a football team. The pilots
are the lads who carry the ball. They
get most of the gallery's applause and
share in all the spectacular plays, but
they are first to admit that without
the best efforts of the other members
of the crew ,their own work would be
useless. There is "Tail-end Charlie,"
plain air gunner, He does the block-
ing for the team, fights off the oppos-
ition, outguesses his opponents and is
generally indispensable. And there is
the air navigator who calls the signals,
acts as boss a good part of the time
and steps modestly aside when ..the
kudos is being handed around,
In a bomber-reconnaissance squad-
ron which works hundreds of miles
at sea and far from its base, the nav-
igator is probably the number one
man, if any man in the outfit can be
considered more important than the
rest.. Here is why.
In the first place the, aircraft must
reach its objective which in this case
might be a hundred-square-mile area
of ocean over which a "sweep" is to
be carried out. This particular region
may be three hundred miles off the
coast. It is the navigator's job to see
that the plane gets there by, providing
the pilot with a course which will take
into account the constantly changing
speed and direction of wind as well
as atmospheric conditions which might
build up icing on the wings,
Assuming that the patrol area is
reached without difficulty and that the
"sweep" is carried out, the next task
of the navigator is to get the aircraft
back to its base safely. A good port-
ion of the plane's fuel supply has al-
ready been Used and the chances are
that the tanks do not provide for a
sightseeing junket to Greenland or
Cape Cod. -What the navigator has
to do is to set a course which will
bring the bomber right spang over its
home aerodrome. Probably night has
fallen in the meantime and there is a
1 fine drizzle of rain, • It is still .up to
the navigator to find exactly where he
is and how to get from there to where
he wants to be, quickly and accurately.
Between its present position and the
base the plane may' run through fog
or heavy clouds which, under winter
conditions, will load inches of ice on
its wings in a matter of minutes., And
a heavily loaded plane will require
more fuel. On, arriving back over
the aerodrome, the pilot may find that
the weather has closed in-as it fre-
quently does on coast bases - and it
is impossible to come down. So the
navigator has to help select an alterna-
tive field, perhaps 600 miles away, and
provide a course which will get the
craft there before its gas tanks run
dry.
Little wonder, then, that the naviga-
tor rates very highly in the Air Force's
book. In a' pinch he must be able to
man the guns, and on occasion to help
with the plane's controls. For all this
he has the unstinted praise of his fel-
low crew-members and the satisfaction
of. knowing that the pilot must rely
upon his store of specialized . know-
ledge.
Table Linen Thin Spots
Should Be Re-Inforced
To Prolong Wearability
When table linens are weak and
about to wear through, re-inforee
underneath. If there is a small hole
it can be darned. ,If there is a burn
from a cigarette, it may be concealed
by appliqueing on a piece of lace or
linen motif and adding one or two
more to make a symmetrical balance.
It 'is a good plan to wrap blue paper
around white linens that are not to
be used often, as this helps to keep
them white, This paper may be ob-
tained in most department or station-
ery stores.

Another story that should be made
known comes from Goderich. The
Dominion Road Machinery Co. took
on some new men recently on war pro-
duction. One of these men formerly
served on a merchant ship. His boat
was torpedoed on the Atlantic and he
landed on one of the islands of the
British West Indies. He lost all his
clothing, money and possessions. The
only clothes he had were the ones he
was wearing, After a long period of
time, he arrived back in Canada, pen-
niless, and secured Work at Goderich.
When the Victory Loan canvasser
came around, you can imagine the re-
ception he .received. However the
story of this man's family was told,
His Mother bought Victory bonds
during the last war and found them
mighty handy during the depression;
His brother is in the army and serv-
ing with distinction; so to make a
long story short, this man bought a
$50.00 Victory Bond on the install-
ment plan. Was this not a sacrifice?
This man had suffered already as a
result of the war, but when the call
came for money to help finance our
war effort, he responded nobly. Surely
examples of this man and the whole-
hearted response of the R.A,F. and
13,,C.A.F, men at Huron Air Stations
should spur its on in our Campaign
to oversubscribe the County quota of
$1,900,000.
