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. ST.

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 THE SHADOW KNOWS WATCH FOR VIM Radio's Greatest Mystery Character ermy wrstri Wednesday Noim,A I AS. 8 td 8.30 p.m. presented by THE °blue coal DEALERS OF CANADA 40=o==01=, O o LEVER BROS., LTD.

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.

Find, if you can, this base where a Bomber Reconnaissance squadron is stationed and within five minutes of your arrival it will 'be borne home to you with a pronounced degree of char- ity that the war which has already en- gulged most of the earth, is already right on the North. American door- step. It is being fought twenty-four hours a day by lads from your own home town! They live in remote outposts along our coasts, do their jobs quiet- ly and effectively and succeed in help- ing to maititain the lifelines from the New World to the Old, They miss out in the glory that ac- ernes to .heir brothers overseas. There are few communiques about their work. But you'll morale and spirits as high as anywhere hi the world, These chaps know that they're doing a man-sized job and doing it well. They're hitting Adolf where it hurts hit* the most--spoiling the carefully laid plans of the last ten years to de- stroy Britain and her Empire by cut- ting her supply routes, This Bomber-Rteonnaissance Squa- dron is just one of the Royal Canadian Air Force units engaged in the vital tGod called hint away from us to his Eternal rest, Away in the beautiful Hills of God by the valley of rest so fair Sonia time, some day, we hope not Tong, we will ,meet mat Floyd up there, Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his lonely Father and Mother, 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.

OPEN SEASON FOR DEER NOV. 16 - 21 Shooting Will Bb Allowed In North Huron, Bruce, Grey, Dufferin and Simcoe . Here is good news for those who wish to take a shot at deer in our own district. An open season for deer will be held in that part of Huron County lying north of the south boundaries of Goderich, Hullett and McKiliop towi- ships also in Bruce, Grey, Dufferin and Simcoe, The date for this open season is November 16 to 21 inclus- ive. Use of doge in hunting is pro- hibited. Shooting of gray and .black squirrels will be permitted on November 5, 6, arid 7 with a daily bag limit of five squirrels. DRIVE THE DAGGER DEEPER-BUY MORE VICTORY BONDS (Continued from page one) 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. Christmas is drawing near. The giving of gifts is an old custom. How- about buying Victory Bonds for- Christmas presents this year? DO YOUR AXIS SHOPPING EARLY-BUY VICTORY BONDS.. A VICTORY BOND IS AN IDEAL GIFT It Is Ten Times A Gift Thrifty and patriotic citizens are finding an excellent outlet for both, these qualities in the purchase of Vic- tory Bonds as Christmas Gifts. After they have made their purchase of a. Bond, to the limit of their investment funds, they pUrchase bonds of smaller denominations as Christmas Gifts for members of their family or others they wish to remember in a special way. This idea is very commendable be- cause a Victory Bond a's a Christmas Gift is ten times a gift. 1. It is a gift when it is presented_ 2. It is a gift when it comes. due. 3. It is a gift to the next generation, for whom 'it helps secure the price- less prize, of freedom. 4.

It is' a gift to Canada because it helps her achieve her purpose, 9.It is a gift to the United Nations. because it helps Canada show them. the depth of her determination to, fully play her part. 10. It is a gift to the Cause of Peace because it helps provide the strength which alone can bring the peace.
