-PHIL .OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By limy J, Boyle
00,•••••••••,..,
' I haven't travelled inuch in the pre-
sent sense of the word „ which means
to ramble all over the world, Some.
times I read at night of the boys who
are wandering in far-off places and it
makes my heart a little sad, I too
would, like to go with the Smythe boy
to distant Ceylon and tread in the halls
of ancient Indian prince's , . ,or wan-
der along the cold shores of Iceland
with little Billy Prince who used to
hoe turnips for me in the summer-
time.
.
The paper tells me that the
banker's son is oh a special mission
contacting a guerilla leader in. Yugo-
sla.via. and The Daily Paper had a pic-
ture of the barber's lad taken in a,
palace in Italy: Yes, I would like to
go and •see those distant placeS and
yet there's something to be said about
travelling right here in our county.
Going to the county town the other
day on the train I was watching the
people in the coach and most of them
looked bored, Actually, they didn't
enjoy travelling. A mother with a
little girl kept busy pulling the tyke's
bloomers and socks and complaining
to.her neighbour about the high cost
of living. A traveller was trotting
back to the washroom about every,ten
minutes to partake no doubt from a
bottle of stimulant he was carrying on
his hip, Three soldiers were asleep
and a fourth one was reading a maga-
zine, A girl across the aisle was try-
ing to get him into conversation blit
he was more interested in the girl in
the story than he was in the real life
girl with the red lips and rosy . . •
too-rosy cheeks.
There wasn't anybody paying any
attention to the changing scenes out-
side the windows of the train. The
man sitting in the seat beside me
roused himself from a sort of stupor
and said, "Pretty dull travelling on
these country trains isn't it?" That
sort of roused my ire and I asked him
to explain himself. He grabbed for
words like a drowning man ,grasping
wreckage and ended up, "Well, there's
nothing to do." I suggested that he
try looking out the window and he
snorted with laughter.
Then I started pointing things out
to him. We weren't travelling very
fast and so I pointed- out where the
old lime-kiln used to be and farther
along the, way the old woollen mill and
grist mill and the three houses that are
all remaining of what was once a pro-
sperous country village built around
the river and its source of power for
small industries. We had quite a
chat about the disappearance of court-
'try places in favour of the city com-
munities.
Conversation lagged again and we
looked out the windows. A boy and a
girl with bright caps were skating
gracefully on a pond of frozen ice.
They were literally skimmi4g along

WINGHAM ADVANCZTIN1ES PA
WHEN a man is Wounded in action or seriously ill,
VV he is rushed through field and base hospitals with
all possible speed, to the place where most effective treat-
ment can be given. ' Because of this rapid movement, his
mail may not "catch up" for some time, yet, if ever he,
longed for a letter from home, it is at such a time.
To offset possible delays, a new "Short-Cut" mail
service has been put into effect. A Priority Casualty Card
is filled in and rushed by Air Mail to his friends or
relatives with instructions to add the words "In Hospital"
to the unit address they usually use.
Letters mailed from Canada bearing the words "In
Hospital" are routed direct to the records office in the.
United Kingdom or the Central Mediterranean Force, as
the case may be. They are given preference in transport,
whether sent by Air Mail or regular mail. Thus they will
reach .the addressee faster than ever before.
a
It is inevitable that in tracing men who have been
moved, or wounded, some delays occur. But you can rest
assured everything that can mean speedier deliveries of
letters to your men is being well and thoroughly done -
and.will be done.
When you get a Priority Casualty Card be sure the
words "In Hospital" are added to the regular unit address
when writing overseas.

He's Not Alone
A shy girl sat next to a bishop at
a formal dinner. Seeing some bananas
passed, she seized on this as a topic
of conservation,
"I beg your pardon, but arc you.
fond of bananas?" she asked.
The bishop, who was slightly deaf,
replied, "Pardon me, but what did you
say?"
.The girl blushed furiously. "I said,,
do you like bananas?"
The bishop pondered a moment,
then answered, "It is a curious titles-.
tion, but I have always preferred the
old-fashioned nightshirt,"
The servant of the Lord must not
strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt
to teach, patient. -II Timothy 2;24.
Moved by King and Fischer, that
we adjourn to meet at Bluevale on.
Monday, May 12th, 1944, Carried.
W. R. Cruikshank, H. Moffat,
Clerk, Reeve.
and we were close enough to see their
happy faces. My companion started
to recall his boyhood in the catmint
and with a certain amount of pride
confessed that he had won certain dis-
tinction as a figure skater . . . but he
had started on a pond behind the barn
on his folks farm.
Somehow we found it was fun to
watch the changing scenes that flitted
by our windows. Sometimes we skid-
ded along through dark tunnels of
close packed trees and a rabbit stared
out at us from our thicket, Other times
we burst around a sharp corner and
streaked across a .flab valley with neat
houses and barns padlocked by win-
ter. We had a strange feeling as the
train sped along over a bridge that
we couldn't see. Looking down at the
frozen river with it's narrow channel
of flowing water in the centre that
frost couldn't hoist . it seemed as if
the train had suddenly taken wings
and was flying front bank to bank.
Soon the trip was over and we thank-
ed each other for pleasant compan-
ionship and yet each of us knew that
the time had passed because we had'
been intetested in the changing land-
staple and the memories and imagin-
ation' it had stirred.
