Norman McLarty Says Premier McKenzie King Needed At The Peace Table At a meeting of the Liberal Assoc- iation of North Huron (Federal) and Huron-Bruce (Provincial) held in the Town Hall here on Friday evening it 'was decided to amalgamate these as- sociations into one organization. It was the opinion of those assembled that this would make a Much more ef- ficient. organization. The officers of the association are: President—Alex Alexander of Grey, 1st, Vice-Pres.—H. C. MacLean of Wingham. 2nd. Vice-Pres.—Frank Fingland, K. C., Clinton. 3rd. Vice-Pres.—Dr. E, J. Weiler, ,Sec'y.-Treas.—Cecil Attridge, Gode- rich. It was decided that the chairman of the municipalities would be arranged for by the executive in co-operation with groups of workers in those var- ious municipalities. Hon. Norman McLarty The special speaker for the meeting was the Hon. Norman McLarty, Sec- retary of State of Canada. He was introduced by Dr. Shaw of Clinton. The minister said that much water has gone under the bridge in the last five long, weary years of war. The people of Canada, he said, would not let down their effort until the war is won. If a person would look at the war with celestial eyes we could see that the war is about to be won. He spoke of the vicious attack of Japan in the East and said we sat by at that time and at the time Etheopia was ra- vaged a little too complacent. He told of the spreading of the war, over the Pacific, in India, Burma, North Africa, throughout Europe. Now we' find that, the tide has turned. We are in Nor- mand!, Cherbourg and Caen have !been retaken.. We are progressing in Italy following a successful issue in North Africa. We have conquered the sub- marine menace and Nazi have almost disappeared the air. Hitler had n.said that for every plane that attacked Germany 100 would attack Britain. How wrong he was. It is two years since Stalingrad and during that time the Russian armies have pushed the Germans back 1000 miles and are now on the door step of Prussia. Our arm- ies are ever moving onward. It has been suggested he said that I give you'the date of the election. That cannot do, he declared„but I will say that it will be prior to June 1,5th., 1945 and I do not know that it will not be sooner. When the election comes there are three things that the people,„will have (Continued on page six) Silver Wedding Day On Monday, 1.Mr, and Mrs. C. B.

TO BOIL Executive of the Progressive Conserv- ative Association of North Huron Meet Here Political activity in the riding of North Huron has been stepped up this past week and many people are of the opinion that things will move in a quickened pace before long.

On Monday night the Executive of the Progressive Conservative Asso- ciation of North Huron held a meet- ing with all parts of the riding repre- sented.

TROOPS It is considered a great honour to be chosen for the Pathfinder Force by members of the R.C.A.F. This honour' has come to one of our WinghaM boys, F. O.. Darrell Biggs, son of Mr. and Mrs, Percy. Biggs. The work of the Pathfinders is "a thrilling, important task. They scout the targets and mark them for the following streams of bombers, They use a bomb sight, the Mark XIV which was first made available to them in. August 1942. Dar- rell is a navigator and as such holds the most responsible position in the crew. It is very seldom that fliers who have not had much experience in operations over enemy territory are chosen for this job but Darrell in a recent letter tells of seeing the robot planes. He said "I got a great kick in London of seeing the darn doodlebugs as there was practicallysa continual raid on and I remember on Tuesday night it start- ed about eleven thirty just when we got to bed and I went over to the window and could see a dozen or so pencils of white searchlights probing the sky over London'and in the centre of the cone of light Was the white sil- very object. It realty looked sort of beautiful and fascindting. I watched it come across the city, very high up and toward Greenford, then we heard the chug, chug of the motor and in a minute or •so the motor cut out and the whistling sound began as it began to glide down, its really weird and then followed a terrific, explosion. You know I often think some of these people back at home, could see a little of this over here they 'wouldn't be so ready to grumble and sit back. I ad- mire these people here so much as it is a terrible strain 'every minute not knowing when these things are com- ing." * * * When the H.M.C.$, Athabaskan was sunk John Wesley Maguire, a nephew of Mrs. R. Maguir4 of town lost his life, . He is .the, sont of, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Maguire of Evansburg, near Ed- monton.

SPARE-TIRES, WHEELS WERE STOLEN OFF CAR Were Removed From Percy Stainton's Car During Thursday Night Some time 'between 11 p. m. Thurs- day night and 7 o'clock the following morning Percy Stainton's car was stripped of its two spare wheels and tires. The police were notified but so far no trace has been found of the missing articles. The loss of wheels and tires 'at this time when others cannot be procured is a serious one for Mr. Stainton. In many places there has been an epidemic of tire stealing ibut so far we have been' free of this menace. It is hoped that the culprits will be brought to justice but the task of locating such articles is most difficult for the police. FLOUR MILL BURNED AT HARRISTON Midnight Blaze Destroyed Mill And Endangered Nearby Property Believed to have been caused by a' motor which Operated the elevator, fire shortly after midnight, Monday, destroyed Walker's Flour Mills at Harriston, and endangered a number of other nearby commercial and resi- dental properties. It was one of• the worst fires in Harriston's history and the loss will be high. The mill was in- sured for $10,000 but there was no protection against loss to the grain and other contents. It was believed that the blaze start- ed on the top floor of the three-story building owned by George Walker. Flames spread rapidly and Harriston firemen, with the help of the Palmer- ston fire brigade, managed to save about five of the ten carloads of grain. No one was injured and no other damage was caused. This is the third fire this month for Harriston, The other two were caused by coal oil and•wood stoves and des- troyed two frame houses.

That Destroyed His Home Trapped in his burning home Sam- uel McComb, aged Kinloss farmer, was burned to death when fire ravag- ed his home on Monday, The house was of frame construction and the fire which started shortly after the noon hour quickly made the building a rag- ing inferno. Mr. 'McComb, over eighty years of age lived alone and by the time the neighbours arrived to assist in fighting the blaze the fire had so advanced that it was impossible to check it. Lack of water also contrib- uted to inefficient fire fighting. The charred remains were not removed .from the burned structure until even- ing. BLOOD DONOR CLINIC HERE IN TWO WEEKS Objective is 225 Donors.

OVERSEAS LETTERS FROM LOCAL BOYS *ogle CoPiet; Five Cents VVINGHAIVI, ONTARIO, THUItSDAY JULY 20th, 190 The 'following are letters from Over- seas which we are sure will make very interesting reading for our subscribers. The first letter is from Lieut. J. 'AL, McKague 'written to Dr, and Mrs. L. Stewart. s ra., Monday, Tune 1,9th, Dear Dr. and Mrs, Stewart;-- As you will probably have learned, by this time we are in sunny France, a battlefield once more for the libera, tion of Europe. We are very proud to be practically on the spearhead of the assault and to have played such a top role on the initial phase. We have all come through so far without a scratch as far as Wingham is concerned and are considering ourselves very lucky as that certainly didn't happen to a lot of the lads. 014 mother earth has become very dear to us these days and we take re- fuge 6 feet do"wn as soon as possible. As a matter of fact I am writing this down in the hole right now while the guns are roaring over head like a cloud burst. We are staying pretty close to home these nights and-nor spending much money. We are into, the franc business now if we want to dicker with the French. The French people as a whole have received us very kindly, it is just like letting them out of jail. I have a great time understanding them and they have the same trouble with me. I wish I had paid more attention at school. The main trouble is every time I greet them with "Bon jour' Monsieur" their eyes pop open and say to themselves. "ah he speaks French" and they are away at 60 miles an hour with arms flinging and' all before I can explain to them that "Je parle un petite frangais." This afternoon I had an operation on a cow for a peasant lady where I removed a large shell splinter from the cow's cheek. It had penetrated the fleshy cheek muscle and was lodg- ed in 4 inches just against the lower molars. She was very grateful and fed me a bowl of the biggest straw- berries I have ever seen. This evening for recreation I had a nice canter on a 'German Staff Offic- er's mount, a fine horse, which was left behind on their hasty retreat. I also picked up a lovely German saddle but I don't know just how I am going to carry it to Berlin and back. It has been pretty quiet the last few day§ on, this sector so I suppose it is the lull before the storm, Once we get supplies and reinforce- ments in to keep us going we'll make that Bosh run so fast they'll trip if they look around. It would be nice to be home for Christmas this year, Well I hope you are both 'in good health, best wishes to you both, here's hoping we will see you before too long., Sincerely, J. M. MacKague * * * * The letter that follows is from Lieut. Harvey Beccroft to his parents, Rev. W. A and Mrs. Beecroft. Harvey is in Italy and. the letter tells of visit to Pompeii, ,etc. 12th June, 1944; Dear Mother and Dad:— On Sunday I took a group of gun- ners in three lorries down to pompeii to see the ruins and we, Jim Hazel- wood and myself went through them quite extensively. They are wonderful and most interesting and in a fine state of preservation, It took about three hours to see what we saw, the• principal points of interest but it would take days to see it entirely. We went from„Pompeii to Naples by train then came right back after having dinner. It is rather amusing travelling twenty miles just to have dinner but the hit- ch-hiking is excellent. We then went to see the beautiful modern cathedral in Pompeii which was completed in 1042. It is without a doubt the most beautiful building I have ever seen. It makes T. Eaton memorial in Toronto look almost amateurish and as far as Painting is concerned there is just no comparison. The columns are all Cor- inthian and carved front the finest marble. The altar is marble as are all the altars in the different shrines, The campanile bell tower is a very high structure with a wonderful view front the 'top. An elevator takes you up which runs as smoothly as the Peace Tower only this one is equipped with seats. The bells are of very fine quality but the best music comes .from the ecl» ossat organ above the entrance to the church: organ music is played twice a day and it is surprising the notribet (Continued on page six) •
