The Young People held their Meet-
Fit. Sgt. 0, E, Armstrong Missing'
Mr. and. Mrs. Dave Armstrong of
13elgrave, formerly of Eardwich, were
notified Monday at noon, last week,
by a telegram from Defence Head-
quarters, Ottawa, that their second son,
Mt. Sgt, Gibson E; Armstrong, age
is reported missing after air oper-
ations overseas, No further informa-
tion had been received up to press time
Wednesday, There is possibilities that
better word may yet come, In the
meantime, the heartfelt sympathy of
old friends here goes out to the sor-
rowing parents, two' brothers and sister
in their anxiety and grief. The missing
airman was born May 26, 1923, when
the 'parents resided on the 6th line
of Howick, east of Fordwiele
Gibson enlisted in the R.C.A,F. at
Toronto in 'October '1942, but it was
not until April 12th, 1.943, that he was
called to report. Training at Brandon,
Calgary and Jarvis, he graduated at
the latter station February. 25th, 1944,
as a Wireless Air Gunner, and went
overseas' March 25th last year, He
was promoted to Flight Sergeant in
Britain and, we underitande was slated
for commissioned rank for some weeks
past.
In recent letters to his parents and
relatives here it was intimated that he
was not on operational duty for a
month or so, but no reason was given.
It was not until last week that a clip-
ping from a Station Paper reached his
parentse‘giving the probable solution.
It seems the heavy bomber on which
Gibson was the wireless air gunner had
been heavily damaged by flak, two
engines were put out of commission
and their navigator severely wounded
in the legs, In the clipping, Gibson
was credited with applying splints and
dressings to the wounded man, who
was able to chart a course whereby the
pilot got the crippled machine and its
crew back to the base. Gibson did
write that their navigator had a
"broken" leg, but no lint as to how it
happened. The clipping was sent by
his younger brother, LAC Jack Arm-
strong, also in England with the
RCAF.
Grading Fine If Used Right
The, Bodmin Farm Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Coultes
with 24 present. The topic for dis-
cussion was "Producing for Consumer
Needs".
The members thought that grading
was all right if used right. It would
lead to a better price for top grades,
and so better grades would be produc-
ed.. The marks of grade should 'be
carried through to the consumer and
there should be more spread in price
between top and low grades.
To reduce production in some lines
there should be a government market
control to take care of surplus and the
grades adjusted to give high returns
for top grades.
Mrs. Wm. Kelly and Mr. Wm.
Speirs were the recreational committee.
Progressive euchre was played, the
high prizes won by Mr. M. Grasby,
Mrs, R. Procter, and low by Mrs. C.
R. Coultes and Mr. J. Yuill. Lunch
was served.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Procter,
with Mr, Wm. McMurray and Mr.
Robert Yuill as recreational committee.
6th Line Forum
The 6th Line East Wawanosh
Farm Forum met Monday night at
the borne of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley
Cook, with an attendance of 17. Mrs.
Melvin Taylor conducted the meet-
ing. The grading of farm produtcs,
was discussed. The group thought the
grading system a good one because
it encouraged the production of good
products. In answer to part B of the
question, it was thought that meat
sold over 'the counter should be
stamped with the grade which was al-
lowed the farmer when he sold the
animal. If the time comes when agri-
culture production in some lines must
be reduced the opinion of the meeting
was, the reduction should take place
by means of quotas assigned by boards
established for that purpose, One
reason for this stand. is that those
present did not believe in the digtruc-
tion of surplus 'goods allowing - the
price to fall, if it can be avoided.
Mrs. Grain conducted the recreation-
al period. The next meeting will be
held at the home of Mr: and Mrs,
Hugh Blair.
