Iii the wilds of ' Northern Ontario,
-north of Thessalon, local fishermen
made a great catch. There were three
in the party, Dr. W. M. Connell, How-
ard Sherbondy and Fred Armstrong,
from Goderich. They were a week in
the bush and they came home with
their full quota of speckled trout, and
three lake trout that totalled 25
pOunds in weight.
The speckled trout were truly
dandies, the largest of which weighed
5 'pounds. One weighed '41/2 pounds
and some were of the 4 and 3 pound
variety. They were the answer to a,.
fisherman's dream. The lake trout
were caught in South Bay on the way
back.

Mr. and Mrs. Percy Harris have
received a letter from their son, L/Cpl,
William R. Harris, who is with the
invasion forces in Normandy.
The following letter was received by
Mrs. George King from her son Joe:
Dear Mom and all:—
Well, here I am in France at last
and feeling fine, Our reception on
"D" Day was anything but friendly.
But since then things are going fine.
Bert (King) is with us and feeling
tops. It seems a •bit hard to realize
this is actually France. It's a nice
country but I guess no other country
in the world has been the battlefields
for nations as often as France.
However, the inhabitants seem to take
it all in a day's work and carry on.
Our mail and cigarettes should be
here any day now. Hope to have a
chance to take a few pictures of the
gang of us. How is everyone at home?
Don't worry about mt. I'm in the
best of health and having as good a
time as, possible.
Well, suppose I had better get back
to my job so will close for this time,
Take good care of yourself Mom, and
give my love to everyone at home, not
forgetting aunt Jane and uncle Jim.
Cheerio Mom.
Joe.

pital. It was pointed out that Huron

BATTERY ATTENDED
ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
Rev. E. 0. Gallagher Spoke On Peace'
The annual church parade of the
99th (Res.) Battery, R.C.A., was held
Sunday morning to St, Paul's church.
About 50 were on parade and the bat-
tery marched from the armouries to
the church.
Rev. E. 0. Gallagher, the rector,
chose for his text "Peace, Peace, when
there is no peace". He stressed the
fact that peace could only come to
troubled Europe 'through christianity
as this comparatively small continent
is composed of so many countries
each with their own governments,
armies, and language. He said that
legislation could not bring peace to
these people and that only through the
christian doctrinei and practice could
this be accomplished.
Mrs. George Taylor rendered a
beautiful solo.
