Lillian Ferne Vogan Lillian Ferne Vogan, Reg. N., only daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Vogan, of Carrick, passed away on Tuesday afternoon last week, at the Freeport Sanatarium, near Kitchener, where she had been a patient for nearly five years. Miss Vogan trained at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital, and after her graduation followed her profession for several years with out- standing success. While nursing at 'Sudbury hospital, her system became infected by a serious malady, and she was removed to the sanatarium for treatment. For a time it was thought that she might recover and she never gave up her struggle and hope for the regaining of her health. During her long period of illness she busied her- self with Red Cross and other patriotic work, and maintained a remarkably cheerful demeanor at all times. On Tuesday morning the hospital notified Mr. and Mrs. Vogan that her condition was failing and they immediately went to see her and were at her bedside when she passed away at 6;30 on Tuesday evening. Deceased was in her thirtieth year, and her early passing is deeply mourn- ed, not' only by her own family and relatives, but also by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, who knew and loved her for her many excellent qualities. She is survived by her parents and three brothers, Harry and Ross, both in the R.C.A.F., the latter being over- seas, and Bruce, at Sarnia. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Arthur Hewitt at the home of her parents, Concession 3, Carrick, on Friday afternoon, Burial took place in McIntosh Cemetery.

BORN HOT CHKISS Af Wingham Gen. eial Hospital, on Thursday, June 1, to Mr, and Mrs. George Hotehkiss, Witigham, a daughter, Helen Myr. tie, Gen, Eisenhower Says First, of Battle in Normandy Exceeded klis Expectations That the head of the Allied. Forces is well satisfied with the condition of the battle front in Normandy, is good news for the home front, It was the greatest operation of its kirtd for all time pnd will not likely be exCeeded during this war, That the Allies were able to crack the defences and make a succesaful landing on a 60 mile beach front showed the valour of our troops and the wonderful preparation for the in- vasion. It is expected that Cherbourg will fall before many days has passed and with this fine port available the Allies will be in a much better position to pour supplies and troops into the peninsula. The stiff fighting around Caen shows that the Germans are try- ing desperately to hold this city. The roads to the east ancl„west have been, cut by the Allies, but the south road is still in German use. The might of the German counter- attack is still to be felt but the Allies are stronger each day to meet these thrusts. - Planes are now operating from strips on the peninsula and are giving great support to the ground forces. The Allies continuing their great bombing sorties, not only close to the battle front also on important centres well back of the line and in Germany, The air command is still making every effort to disrupt German transport and manufacturing facilities, EAST WAWANOSH COUNCIL ; • Council met on June 6, in Court of Revision of Assessment Roll for 1944.
