Order Miss Dorothy Krauskof was guest of honour at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Eckert, when about thirteen girl friends gathered to bade farewell be- for her departure to join the Ursuline Novitiate, Chatham. Horse Runs Away, Twq Boys Hurt Two lads 'from Kingsbridge, 18 miles north of Goderich' made a trip to London on horseback and on their return trip came to grief in Exeter. The lads were Pat Courtney, aged 18, and Wm. McDonald, aged 16. From the report we are able to gather the lads had visited the former's father in London and had traded their saddle for an old cart and harness. When north of the bridge the horse became frightened and ran away. Both boys were thrown from the cart and Court- ney was rendered unconscious. He was treated by Dr. Dunlop and was later able to proceed home on horse- back while McDonald had to foot it. • —Exeter Times Advocate. Near Drowning At Seaforth P901 A fatal drowning accident was averted at the Lions swimming pool on. Sunday afternoon, only by the courageous action of Jack Wright, a well known Seaforth boy, when he dived into the deep pool with all his clothes on and succeeded in bringing to the surface and shore LAC, Harold. Walker, an airman from Desoronto Station. Although first aid was im- mediately given, it was some time be- fore be came to, when he was taken to Scott Memorial Hospital, but was able to return home with his cousins whom he was visiting. — Seaforth Huron Expositor, Son Of Col. Combe, Clinton, Killed In Action Colonel H. B. Combe and Mrs. Combe received word on Wednesday morning that their only son Lieut. Owen Combe, was killed in action in France on August 27th. Lieut. Combe was well known in Clinton and vicin- ity, having been born here and receiv- ed most of his education in the' Clin- ton Public School, and Clinton Colleg- iate Institute. He also attended Trin- ity College School in Port Hope. Col. Combe was Officer Commanding the 161st Battalion in the last war: PILOT INSURANCE COMPANY then the greatest of all the invasion of France. That this has been the most wonderful military operation of all time will be recorded by history. But the point is that when these lead- ers get together another plan is made which spells further success for the Allies, These two great leaders will, meet without Stalin this time, Russia is not at war with Japan, The war in Europe is fast nearing the closing stage, although there are some author- ities that are of the opinion that this year will not see the end of the wan with Germany, When this is accomp- lished the full weight of the British American forces can be used to aid United States in her fight against Japan. The war in the Pacific is go- ing well but is not in a total war stage as yet, The wisdom of defeating the Nazis first is now a clear picture, What is planned for Japan at Quebec in the near future one can imagine, it will be an all out effort to crush the Nips. Plans to aid the freed countries may be further advanced no doubt, but the Japanese conquest will most likely take the important place in the talks and plans. * * * * It is good news that Canada is to retain a navy after the war. The an- nouncement by Navy Minister Angus Macdonald, that authorization had been made for a post-war complement of 9000 officers and men was well re- ceived. He would, prefer a permanent strength of 15,000, this plan may yet be adopted and this increase in strength would meet little opposition. * * * The lights will be turned on in Britain again this coming Sunday. What a grand and glorious feeling this will be for the folk of that country who have patiently awaited such a day. The authorities must be very certain that the German air strength is al- most a thing of the past. That also is a very pleasant supposition. MILKWEED PODS GO. ACTIVE Who Would ever have thought that the common milkweed would be much sought after, In fact the whole coun- try is being organized to collect milk- weed pods, The milkweed floss is urgently required for making life pre- servers and other buoyant equipment for the armed forces. Kapok was formerly used for this purpose but it is now on the unobtainable list so the milkweed has become an important Plant, Quotas have been set for the various parts of the province. Huron. bas a quota of 6000 bags and Bruce 8000. The Agricultural Supplies board provides bags for collecting, each bag bolds a bushel of pods. They pay 20 for a bag. Most schools are organized for this drive but we understand that some are not, This is a chance for children to make a fine• contribution to the war effort and now is the time. Collection should begin as soon as some of the seeds in the pod are brown. See the Agricultural Repre- sentative for detailed information, * * TROUBLE IN STORE FOR JAPAN Last November Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt had conferences with Stalin of Russia and the result of those conferences have had a direct 'bearing on the successful course of the war. Russia has swept back across her own country and gone even further afield. The British and the United States forces have made great gains in Italy since that time and INTERESTING CLIPS OF DISTRICT NEWS ea Joins.

At the work meeting on Tues- day, Mr. George Tolchard handed in some more work done by him, and it proved to be the 190th pair of socks he has knit. Most of them were sea- nien's socks, too; which used to be 26 inches long and are now 18 inches, and which takes more knitting than regular army socks.—Chesley Enter- prise. ..11111.01•111111101111•1011..••••••••••••••••11111111111, Listowel Cadets Retain Shield The Listowel High School Cadet Corps will retain the Campbell Shield, symbolic of the best corps, composed of 100 boys or less in M.D. No, 1, for another year.

GOODYEAR SYNTHETIC RUBBER TIRES* the wool, cotton and rayon yarn she requuts. We have always had to get a substantial part of our requirements. from other countries, even in peace- time. But since the war, there has been an acute shortage of underwear yarns everywhere. There has been a.greatly increased demand in addition to production difficulties. The efforts of the Board to meet the problem are given below. OBVIOUSLY babies and children must have underwear. So—the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has given special attention to the production of these garments. The problem has not been so much one of a lack of raw materials, but of getting the raw materials (wool, cotton, rayon), spun into yarns—and then knit into garments. Canada has never produced all Have a "COMPRESSED TREAD" This is Goodyear's latest type of tire construction. Proper inflation of tire compresses the tread, makes it less liable to puncture* and assures longer wear. It's a pre-war feature that helped keep Goodyear "Canada's first choice In tires". THE INCREASED DEMAND RESULTED FROM• Attended Threshing 70 Years Ago One day last week there was a threshing on the old Dalgarno farm on concession 6, Arthur Township. The farm has this summer been worked by Mr. Ross Mainland, a great grandson of the late Andrew Dalgarno, the pioneer who cleared it from the virgin forest and erected buildings upon it. One of the men at the threshing was Mr. lames Casey of Kenilworth, who was present more as a guest than• a participa.nt in the threshing operations. He recalled that seventy years ago he had attended a threshing on the same farm.—Arthur Enterprise News. Reduced use of second-hand or "hand-me7down" garments. More babies ... apparently always the way in wartime. 14 Extra buying . . . Perhaps toe many people wanted to be "on the safe side." k Increased consumer buying ... More people with more money. Less home sewing ... Mothers have been working outside the home. MORE UNDERWEAR: but still not enough! The reason is that it just has not been possible to produce with the skilled' workers and machines available to the united Nations enough yarn and garments to meet the increased' demands all over the world.
