;United Church, W, M. S. Held Annual
Meeting
A lighted Christmas tree, candles,
flowers and other decorations made an
appropriate setting for the Christmas
meeting of the. Woman's Missionary
Society in Wingham United Church,
The program was arranged and con-
,ducted by Mrs. W. A. Beecroft and
took the form of a Canadian Friend-
ship Service:—He who would have a
friend,'must first be one. This theme
was further expressed iby the singing
'of carols of different nations. dine of
the most majestic carols of all times
is of French origin, "0 Come All- Ye
Faithful." This was sung in the
French cathedrals as early as 1760.
'Then followed a Polish carol, "Infant
:Holy, Infant Lowly"; and the lovely
°German carol, which is called Luther's
°Cradle Song, "Away in a Manger."
The beautiful English carol, "The r4ipt, Nowell" which expresses our
love for, the Christ-child and a Cana-
.dian carol, "Gentle Mary Laid Her
Babe," the music of this having been
'composed by Sir Ernest McMillan.
'The singing was led by Mrs. Beecroft
-with Miss Reynolds at the piano.
Candles were then lighted expressing
Christian friendship for the people
-from all countries who have made
their homes in Canada. The Bible
lesson, "The story of Jesus", was given
'by Mrs. Wm., Hamilton. , The study.
'of Christian Missions in the South
Pacific, particularly, the Netherlands
missions in the Dutch East Indies, was
arranged by Mrs. Robt. Laidlaw.' A
large map showing all these islands
made the talk most interesting and in-
structive. The meeting was closed
with prayer by Mrs. Field.

CAR ACCIDENT AT
THE FIRST BRIDGE
Cars Were Badly Damaged, No One
Was Injured
The first bridge south of town was
the scene of another accident. This
time it was Saturday evening and the
cars involved were driven by Walt.
Mason, No. 4 Highway, and Gus
Healy of town. Walt Mason was pro-
ceeding north into Wingham and Gus
Healy was on his way to his parents
home in Morris, The roads were in
very slippery condition and it is
thought this may have caused the ac-
cident.
Apparently the Mason car slipped
on the ice and the rear of the car hit
the Healy coupe, The result was
both cars were removed by the wreck-
ing car. No one was injured. The
accident took place on the bridge. No
charges were laid. County Constable

Frank Taylor investigated.

WE DID NOT GET THE
WORST OF THE STORM
It Now Looks As If We Will Have
A White Christmas
Toronto, Hamilton, Si. Catherines,
are digging out of one of the worst
snow storms they have ever experi-
enced. 29 inches of snow fell in the
Hamilton district and 22 in Toronto,
Traffic was tied up, buses did not
operate and street ears were miles off
schedule, Private cars were not al-
lowed out by order of the traffic con-
troller. The Globe and Mail did not'
publish this morning, Wednesday, for
the first time in its history. The
morning train from Wingharn did not
reach Toronto until nearly six p.m.
Train service generally in the districts
mentioned were off schedule, badly so.
The train from Stratford to Clinton
was four hours late and the Palmer-
ston train did not reach Wingham
until about 6 o'clock in place of noon
hour.
We here did not get the full blast
of the storm. We had quite a snow
fall about 7 inches with a fair wind.
The highways were open all the time
as were many side roads. The going
was tough on many roads and plows
were in operation,
About 10 or eleven days ago there
was a storm that swept across the
London area and we did not get much
of it and now we have missed the
storm which to a great extent that tied

Somewhere In Holland
October 23.,
Dear Folks:
Just a few lines this morning hoping
this finds everyone in the best of
health as it leaves me fine, I have had
blood poison in my first finger on my
right band so I have not been able to
write for a while. I went, to the M.O..
and he told me to keep bathing it in
warm salty water, so in a few days
I went back and he lanced it and boy
what a relief, Tell Dad I received the
cigarettes fine, they were sent in Aug-
ust so they took quite a while. They
were the first that I had received since
I left. England 'in July. Jack has been
getting his people to try Buckingham
and they seem to come better. I
wonder if it would be worth a try,
got Helen's parcel and was real glad
to get it, everything kept fine, We
have had some good old feeds in the
evening. Thank Harry for the choco-
lates and peanuts they were a ,real
treat, Did I tell you I met Phil Sam-
uel last week, he is getting along fine,
lie is in the tank corps. We were
quite surprised to run into each other.
His brother was wounded in Italy but
is getting along O.K. This is Wed-
nesday morning' and it quite foggy
around but as long as it don't rain it
is not so bad. We are in Holland now
and getting along O.K. ,It is not a
bad place what we have seen of it,
hut I would rather have Belgium.
They are real nice people much like
the Canadians. I had a real home
there while I was back for a few days.
The people could speak good English
and were well off. The average per-
son is pretty well educated. They
speak French, Flemish, German and
English. They learn it all at school
and with the English people spending
their holidays there in peace time they
used it quite a lot. Uncle Joe's sister
and her son spent a few days with
them. They were glad to get away
from London for a few days. What
used to be the 99th from home is
right 'beside us. ' I have just met three
that I know but the most of them come
from Blyth, Listowel and Lucknow
and other places around, They were
broke up so the fellows have been
separated, It was too bad about Cliff
Taman. He was killed in the same
place as I saw him. It was quite bad
there. I saw the other fellow that
used to work for Swanson but I can't
think of his name. (Editor: Hugh
Cummings). I will close now hoping
to hear from you soon.

DeWitt Miller Told Of His
Experiences In Ceylon

March of 1942 and lived in Ceylon

BATTERY OFFICERS
ARE HOLDING DANCE
URGENT CALL MADE
FOR BLOOD DONORS
Give A Pint Qf Blood As 4. Christmas
Gift To The Wounded
Another Red Cross mobile blood
donor clinic will be held here, Wed-
nesday morning, December 20th.
Throughout Canada 'there has been a
slackening in the number of donations.
This has not been the case, here, but
to keep up with the objective set for
this district many new donors are re-
quired at each clinic, What better
Christmas gift could be made than a
pint of blood for one of our wounded
men .
J. V. McAree, noted Canadian
columnist, has declared, that in the
present war blood is as necessary as
food. He points out that in the North
African, campaign only three out of
every 100 wounded men in evacuation
hospitals died, compared with 18 in
the last war. In the last war about
80 per cent of the wounds were the
result of bayonet or bullet. In the
present war between 80 and 85 ,per
cent are the result of shell or bomb
fragments. They are in consequence
much more severe and require greater
quantities of blood and transfusions.
Many thousands of lives of Allied sol-
diers have been saved by blood trans-
fusions and there are thousands 'of
Canadians who owe their lives to the
blood which civilians in Canada have
provided for- them.
The need for blood is greater than
ever. Mr. McAree says "failure to
provide all that is needed would be a
military disaster of the first magni-
tude."
50,000 new donors are needed at
Canadian Red Cross clinics in Ontario
if 'the needed maximum objective is
to be achieved and maintained.
