From the past to the setting sun,
And many lie where the ripening rye,
Danced to the devil's fun.
They do not ask a golden casque,
Or a tower of graven stone,
But that men may live in a world set

From guilt by their blood atoned.

O'er the fields of the hallowed dead,
For young men fought and young men

Near the sea, where the earth is red.

Apple Doings
Take a flyer at making applesauce
with cores, skins , everything lint
worm holes . in the cookery pot.
Rub through seive when the stove has
done its job and then add sugar. One ,
teaspoon is enough for a medium sized
apple (sugar savers please note),
This non-peeling method saves labor-_ •
ions knife work and holds tight to all
the minerals and vitamins that seem to
concentrate themselves ion the inner
side of the apple skin,
And another word in the subject of
apples. The long, mild fait has caus-
ed some varieties of apples to ripen
more rapidly than usual. So, if you're
storing them in ,any quantity better
cheek them over Saatt some will
have to he used quietly to avoid SOO&

Clinton Flier Home
FO, Wm. "Blondie" Cook arrived
home. A few weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Cook were advised by their sop
that he had completed his second tour
of operations and would probably be
home soon. It will be remembered that
about two years ago, FO. ,Cook was
forced to bail out over France, and by
good fortune made his way safely to
Gibraltar, England and home for a
rest. He returned to operational
duties, and completed his second tour
in October. — Clinton News Record.
Fined For Fighting
Earl. Ritchie, with a local reputation
as a scrapper, was fined $25 and costs,
or 14 days in jail, and bound over to
keep the peace for 'assaulting Mervin
McAllister, at Goderich. His counter-
charge against McAllister failed, and
Ritchie was obliged to pay, a doctor's
bill and court costs': Joe Fritzley and
Clayton Weston, two other post-bev-
erage room closing scrappers, each
paid $5 and costs of $17.50 for "caus-
ing an affray."
Prisoner Takes Prisoners
'Gnr. Ralph Lettner, well-known in
Walkerton district, describes an experi-
ence he had while on active service
with the Canadian Army in Belgium.
Gnr. Lettner states that with nine of
his comrades, he was taken prisoner
on November 1 by the Germans, They
were taken to a small town and were
to be transported from there to Ger-
many. However, the German garrison
discovered they could not get through
to Germany, and on the fifth day,
when the Allies were approaching the
town, the entire garrison of 235 hand-
ea their arms Over to their prisoners,
numbering about 120, and asked their
protection. The Canadians, in turn,
marched them back to their lines,
where they are now prisoners of war.

Hello Mother:
Well, here I am again, trying to
-answer- smile of the letters .1 received
a few days ago. Thanks for the snaps,
they were swell and I think I shall
like our new house also, although, any
old shack back there would look like
a palace to most of us birds over here.
Yes Mom, if the war is over soon,
can just forget about that lighter, I
won't mind finishing up with what
matches we are issued and after that
I'll just bum a light.
Do you know something; one year
ago today, exactly, we landed in' Italy.
Isn't that a son-of-a-gun? I sure don't
want to see a second anniversary in
this country, but it sure looks like
another Christmas anyway.
Just received 600 cigarettes .from
Aunt Mary and let me tell you, they
are sure going to come in handy, I
was about down to my last package
of Canadian gigs. Guess I'll drop her
a few lines and say thank you.
Had another letter from Ted Bailey.
He' sure writes a dilly.
Tell Art to take it easy on his new
bike, He'll likely break his darn neck
if I remember Art at all. Goad job
he has a bigger brother to fix it up
for him every time he bends a pedal,
etc.
Boy, from the look of those pictures,
Cam is sure growing up. I showed the
pictures to Cpl. Lee and he said,
"Wow; what are those, civilians."
Those guys were sure dolled up to kill,
They would look nifty here in about
'two feet of mud. All the more power
to them through, the longer they can
keep those duds on the less time they
will have to Stick to one colour. Cam
will likely be getting his call pretty,
soon though, won't he.
Once again T am enclosing a page
of our paper for your approval On the
boys poetry, and especially the "An-
swer to a Question", I wish every
Zombie in Canada could get a look at
that poem and then they would have
about the correct idea of how most of
the fellows on active service feel about
those birds, There will be trouble
rust as sure as your born if somebody
does not do stattethitt With those guys.

During the years that have passed, many Goodyear
discoveries have been adopted as Standard in the tire
building field. During these years tire performance has
improved immeasurably . : tire costs have consistently
reduced. '
Goodyear continually reaches ahead of tomorrow to
provide the best for you today. That is one reason why
there was no delay in utilizing synthetic rubber to meet
the needs of wartime. Goodyear was ready when the
need arose: Long ago Goodyear discovered how to
use this new material:
In today's Goodyear Synthetic Rubber Tire you get

Deer Was Friendly
While Cliff. Coffey and Jack Ward,
of 13allycroy, were driving to Orange-
ville,they sighted a large doe feeding
on the roadside this side of Mono Mills
near the village school. They stopped
their car and pelted the animal with
snowballs, thinking it would take
fright and jump the fence, The deer
was undisturbed and finally allowed
the men to get close enough to pet
its head and face with their hands.
They declared they would halter and
take it home if it was still there when
they returned,—Orangeville Banner.
Wolf Shot Near Clinton
Messrs. HaroldiGlew,.Bill Glew and
Harold Fremlin went out fox-hunting
and bagged a huge timber wolf instead,
In an interview with Mr. Harold Glew,
who shot the wolf with a 12 gauge
shot-gun, at a distance of approximate-
ly 30 yards, we learned that red.foxes
are fairly numerous in the rural area
surrounding Clinton. Several farmers
have suffered large losses among their
flocks of sheep, which appeared to
have been attacked by a wolf. The
wolf weighed forty pounds and from
tip to tip,, measured 6 feet 4' inches.
Many interested people have called at
Mr. Glew's to have a, "close-up" view
of the killer. When the hide is fully
dried, Mr. Glew will have it on dis-
lay.—Clintoh News-Record. •

Cattle Suffocated
A farmer in the Dundalk district,
Albert Coe, had four head of cattle,
a cow, and three yearlings, smothered
last week under a strawstack, which
toppled over on them. The cattle were
pasturing on the former Dobson farm,
and had eaten away the base of the
stack leaving it top-heavy. — Mount

Since its foundation, at the turn of the century, Goodyear
has carried on with relentless energy its quest for
improvement in the making and application of better
rubber products.
In the Goodyear Research Laboratory,, skilled chemists
and engineers with "shirt sleeve" imaginations, utilize
all the skill, all the experience, all the knowledge
Goodyear has acquired through more than forty years of
working with rubber.
There is no waiting for the results of Goodyear
research. Ideas and improvements, created by need,
become practical realities in the laboratory. Then,
tested and proven, in day to day service . . they are
incorporated into modern Goodyear products.

British girls,.
Chose to stay and tend the wounded
men?
Where are they now, and where, we
ask
Are your brothers, cousins, friends,
who heard the call.
For the harvest is not all the yield of
the soil,
Nor the furrows the mark of the
plough,
But the earth's rich red is the blood
'of the dead,
The dead who are sleeping now.
They came from the sea, like you and
me,
But they beached on a steel-rimmed
coast.
They carved their way through othe
Hun at bay,
And blasted the tyrant's boast
That no might could breach the wave-
locked shore,
No Allied foot gain hold:
The sea would be red with the blood
of the dead,
The dead who had been too bold.
On their left and right were Britain's
men,
And from south of the Forty-nine
Came the western flanks of the Allied
ranks
Through mortar, shell and mine.
The wall \vas stormed, the beaches
won,
As skies grew sullen and wild,
Till the strength of the mighty men of
the sea
Scented less than the strength of 'a

ANSWER 'TO A QUESTION
From the "Maple Leaf" the Soldiers
Paper
You, who have never heard the sound
of shells,
Have never trembled from a mortar
bursting close,
Have never, seen your friends lie
mangled, dead,
Nor fought beside them when they
Went to meet their God.
You know not what is means to live
in Winter
Crouched in a burrow scraped from
oozing mud,
Nor yet, to stand and say farewell
To fri*nd who faced death with a
smile,
Who will forget the Falaise Gap?
Or Phicott west of the Orne?
But at Auchie, and Gruchy, and
Franqueville
Were these later victories born.
We see the crosses standing stark and
think
Of friends who, lie beneath the winter
sky.
We ask, how can our home breed such
as you
And call you men, while heroes gladly
die?
The men who fight don't want your
kind,
We'll finish this with what we have.
Five years of war, and yet you waver
still,
Be not afraid, stay home, we'll carry
on—alone I

STRANGE HARVEST
The flares at night, the diving planes,
The awful tearing sound that chills the
spine,
You know them not, nor have you seen
Men rise to heights which you will
never gain,
You, who have never sailed in a fight-
ing ship
And manned her guns in heat and
freezing cold,
Or flown through hell, while friends
On either side
Plummet to earth, a blazing ball of
fire,
