Muskrat Bites Woman A most 'unusual occurrence' took place here one- day last week when a large rat came across the lawn and bit Miss Lavina Klages on the leg as she 'was on her way home. It then dashed across the street, where C. R. Ankenmann's )(log noticed it, and after a 'brief fight, killed it, Alf. Woods, town delivery man, happened to come along at the time, and noticed that it was a muskrat, so he picked it up, took it to a dealer in hides, and got $2 for the skin. It was certainly unusual for a muskrat to be seen on the Main street of Chesley, and also that it should attack humans who were not bothering it Chesley Enterprise. Opens Swimming Season ' It used to be considered that the 24th of May marked the opening of the swimming season, but young Geo. Miller and another boy took advantage of the warm weather to inaugurate the season at Scone on Tuesday, March 27, The boys said the water was a Warm as during the summer, so it may not be long until the gang gathers above the dam here and enjoys this sport.— Chesley Enterprise.

In April, 1942, he 'en- listed in the 12..C.A.M.C. for active service.—Listowel Banner. Girls, Do Paint Job The Knox Service Club, a group of young ladies of the Presbyterian church, who have taken upon them- selves the obligation of redecorating the Sunday School Room, ,passed an- other milestone in their self-imposed contract last week when they painted no less than two hundred chairs used in the basement.---Walkerton Herald Times.

Cultoss Airman Presumed Dead Pilot Officer "Ted" Moran, missing overseas for the past 18 Months, has now been declared "presumed dead," According to information received 1!,y his parents, Mr. and Mrs, Prank Mor- an, of Cujross Township, PO, Moran was reported missing on February 20, 1944, after air operations, over enctriy territory, He lad been eorittilisSioried IN MANY WAYS BETTER THAN . .% Managing a farm is in many ways similar to managing any other business. That is why reserve savings in liquid form are so helpful to a farmer. Victory Bonds provide the handiest form in which savings can be kept, with safety. Their security is without question. They represent money owing to you by the Dominion of Canada, just as dollar bills do. And . . better than dollar bills . . . they earn interest' for you every day you hold them; even when put away for safe keeping in a bank vault or in a safe. They pay double bank interest. You can get cash for Victory Bonds if you need cash in an emergency. Any bank will buy them from you. You can borrow on them, without any formality. Simply take them to any bank and get' the loan you need. The interest, the bonds earn pays a large part of the bank inter-est on the loan. • So, realize this fact, Victory Bonds are better than cash because they earn interest. Buy Victory Bonds to have cash where you need it, when you may need it. Buy Victory Bonds to help maintain your country's war effort. agaaaafi'litaaaa,a,a-,. .4.1tr• • You will want Cash if you plan to improve your borne when the war ends . . 47,5rf"..f • • You will want cash if you plan to improve your live stock . .„ lllll aara.

This branch carried on for many years in a more or less Spectacular manner but :the ground Work was laid by the few who were in that service for the big things that were. ahead. On Sunday the R.C.A.F, celebrated its 21st birthday and proud- ly looked back on a record of re- marka'ble achievement, Its peace rec- ord was one of planning and organiz- ation and its war record has been one of great heroism, its members having won 5000 awards. The administration of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan stands out as a job well done, The air force with the advent of war grew from a mere 4000 to the strong striking force of more than 40 squadrons. Many trained for the R,C.A.F, are with the R,A.F, and are doing a grand job with the mother organization. • * HYDRO NEEDED ON THE FARMS Much has been said of late of the need of electricity on the farms of On- tario. There is little doubt but that great strides in this direction would 19 have been made if the war had not taken place. It is generally agreed that the extention of hydro to all rural areas is necessary. The war used great quantities of materials that would have been available for this work. It now appears that Victory is not too far distant and these materials will gradually come on the market in great quantities. When that time ar- rives there will be a great expansion of electrification and within a very few years hydro should be in most farm homes in Ontario.. That the Hydro Electric Power Commission is prepar- ing for such a move is shown by the announcement last week that the com- mission has a five year $22,000;000 plan in the post-war era. There are many reasons why our farmers should have the use of electricity. It will to a great extent lighten the work as well as homes. It will be a great day for Ontario when the Hydro wires reach every home in the province. * * * * Churchill says the "Hour of Success is Near". Our efforts should not slacken but increase to make it so. • * The Red Cross Blood Clinic will be held here next week. This • notice should be sufficient, but is it? * * * Since D-day the Allies have captur- ed 1,219,700 Germans on the Western Front. In the great push now under way prisoners number about 22,000 per day. Our men in Europe are do- ing a grand job. • * * * This early arrival' of Spring has created much talk of other early Springs. It appears that 90 years ago we had such an early start. Many have seeding well under way, others feel despite favourable weather condi- tions, it is a bit early to sow, 5 Canada will have another opportun- ity soon to .back the boys and girls who stood between us and the enemy, On April '23rd the Victory Loan will start, Plan now to invest in the Vic- tory of our forces to the limit, 4, 4, 4, *. Canada's 1944 crop set a new top figure, 08006,129. This is an in- crease of $13,000,000 over the previous year and is 40 per cent greater than the production figures of 1989,. which. was $872,000,000, This is a grand showing indeed in the face of man-' power shortage and many other diffi- culties. •1NININNIIaSIIt,, ...INI.IItairH(,NgtylItti1t/rNt,Nt,tl fNlNutt 2 0 a INTERESTING CLIPS I OF DISTRICT NEws ,, , ,, „„„...., ,, ,,,,, ,, lll llll 4 lll .1 111 ll Centralia Station To Stay Two district R.C.A.F, stations, at Aylmer and Centralia, will probably continue in operation after the war as important links in a nation-wide chain of permanent force airports, it was learned.
