portion of the bone. Elymer has been
in hospital since that time.

All Municipalities In Huron Oversub-
scribed Their Quotas As Canada
Rolls Up Record Sales
Wingham Total $224,850 - 117,7%
Of The Quota
Huron once snore has demonstrated
her ability to meet a challenge. Early
in the Seventh Victory Loan campaign
there were some who were of the
opinion that Huron would not reach
the required quota. But when the final
returns rolled in the quota was not
only oversubscribed but the extra 15
per cent which the Minister of Fin-
atice requested was also oversubscrib-
ed.
Canada as a whole also met the
challenge and it is expected that the
loan total finally tabulated that the
returns will reach well over the
$1,450,000,000 mark, Tentative final

Somewhere in Holland
Dear ,Mother;
Yes, n9 doubt you've got a shock
by now in seeing that I'm on the other
side of the English Channel, but there's,
no need to worry for rin O.K. and in
a relatively safe place. I was in Brus-
sels for -a few days and had quite a
good time seeing here and there about
the city. Everyone there still ,stops
and says hello to us and say how glad
they are to see as even though Bras-
sels was liberated over a month ago,
Ire all the cafes, etc., there's no end
of merriment and they can't do enough
for you. Some of the fellows who•
were there at the first say the big 'wel-
come was almost unbelievable, bigger
than at Paris, I came over last week-
end and the flight was quite nice and
I
we could see quite a bit on the way
over. So far I've enjoyed it all im-
mensely. They speak French in' Bel-
gium so my high school French really
came in handy for once and I got along
amazingly well too, Last Sunday
afternoon one of the local dentists who
keeps bees as a hobby, took us out to
his bee farm and gave us a two-hour
lecture and demonstration •on the life
of the bees in their colonies. After that
he took us to his home where he gave
us a glass of the loveliest French wine
and his wife had supper all ready for
us. It was very nice and included a
good supply of the honey from his -
own bees. I've never tasted honey-
quite like it. It was really delicious.
I guess the flowers and blossoms they
get their nectar from is wl?at makes
the difference. One of the first things
.,.of course a Canadian notices over here
is-thaf they drive On'tlie right side Or
the street. How strange that such a
funny little thing as that seems to
mean so much, but it does. There is
some very pretty country about Brus-
sels and some lovely scenery through-
out the city itself. On the way up
here we passed through some lovely
stretches of country. In some places
along the road the trees form an arch-
way for a hundred yards or so at a.
stretch and right now the leaves are
turning red and look very much ,like
