The summer is on the way out believe. it or not. * * * * The japs eee taking a terrible ing from the planes of the Allies these days. How long will they take it? We hope until they are properly sub- dued. t I INTERESTING CLIPS OF DISTRICT NEWS * * Many of our lads are arriving each week from overseas. Many of them are just home for a short stay as they will shortly be leaving for the Pacific, This is a grim reminder that the war is not over yet. * There will be another Victory Loan this fall, Much of this money willebe used for the re-establishment of the, boys and girls who are leaving the services. It is just as important that we support this loan. We all have said we would not let our soldiers down and the Victory Loan will be a practical way of carrying out this pro- mise, Many Leafed Clover If the four leaved clover brings luck, Oliver Anderson, well known Hullett farmer, and his hired man will remem- ber the summer of 1945 for a long time. On Saturday last, Mr. Ander- son brought to the Expositor, not only a number of four-leafed clovers, but several with five and six leaves and one with seven. These were picked on the Anderson farm on Saturday morn- ing by Roy Niven, who works for Mr. Anderson.—Seaforth Huron Expositor.

LEVEL CROSSING ACCIDENTS We have noticed that the number of level crossing accidents have increased during the past few months, This is the same every summer as traffic be- comes heavier. No doubt some of these accidents are due to careless driving! but there are many crossings where' one's view is quite blacked out. The bus companies have a rule that their drivers must come to a stop before proceeding over a railway crossing, This no doubt has saved the lives of many who use this type of transpor- tation. If it is a good idea for the bus operators to follow one would imagine that it would be good for all and a law to this effect would be in order. * * SHORTAGE OF HOUSES One of the greatest problems facing practically every municipality in Can- ada is the shortage of accommodation for its present population and this con- dition is aggravated by the fact that many of the lads now returning from overseas cannot find a place to start a borne. Some places have taken a very serious view of this situation and have instituted ways and means of over coming it, Sarnia had a group of citi- zens, mostly businessmen, who have organized a company to build houses to be resold at cost to returning veter- ans. They have taken a long term viewof the project and may not break even on the deal. They have however gone into the project with great thought but fearlessly and they will erect 150 homes. The National Hous- ing plan has given many municipalities an opportunity of trying to build more houses. The need here is great and it would be a wonderful thing if some one would take the lead in this hous- ing question. * * * * FARMING A HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION One cannot look at a paper these days without reading of an accident on a farm, Farming during the past num- ber of years has developed into a high- ly scientific business and added to this it is a very hazardous one. A farmer to be successful to-day must know all about crops, how to raise cattle, sheep, hogs, hens, etc., and on top of that be a mechanic of no mean proportions. PUBLICITY • J CHIEF. ' H • Campbell, Western Lines press repre- sentative, Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and since October 1, 1942, on loan to the Dominion government and in charge of the Canadian War- time information Board at Washing- ton, has been promoted to the post of general publicity agent for the com- pany, according to an announcement by D.

Wrong Body Arrived People travelling by train sometimes get on the wrong train if they are not too alert but usually the conductor dis- covers their mistake before the train proceeds very far. Apparently the conductor does not keep as close a check on dead people on the train, On Monday morning a corpse arrived at Milverton on the northbound C.N.R. passenger train which at first was be- lieved to be the body of the late Miss Jean Kines, who died ill New York City and was buried in Milverton on Monday, but on opening the rough box, it was found to contain the body of a man. A brief investigation re- vealed that it was a Mr, Steinoff, of Detroit, and should have been sent to St. Thomas, As the southbound train was still at the station the body was immediately sent south on , that train. Just how the mixup occurred is not known,. Miss Kilns' body cattle from New York on a later train to London and was brought to Milver- ton by Mr. It. MeMane.—Milverton. Sun.

Rath Pfohle daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pfohl, 'was wading around in the creek which passed through the park when she 'got into difficulties and went under. Fortun- ately, the child's mother was close by and as the youngster went below the surface for the second time Mrs. Pfohl pulled her to safety.—Mildmay Gazette, Breaks Arm Second 'Time Young Joe Whitby had the misfort- une last week to break his left arm for a second time in less than four months.

The arm was previously broken at the same place. The first mishap occurred on Tuesday, April 3rd., while Joe was spending the Eas- ter holidays in Kincardine, At that time he was playing ball.—Lucknow Sentinel.

Gas Takes Fire As Tank Being Filled There were an exciting few minutes at Graham Arthur's Service Station on Tuesday afternoon when fire started while one of the gasoline tanks was being filled with gasoline. Gasoline was being run into one of the large underground tanks from a gasoline truck when Allen Westcott happened to pass close by and the gasoline fum- es were ignited. How the fire started is a mystery, but it is thought that owing to the intense heat at the time a spark possibly caused by a nail in Al- lan's shoe might have done the trick. The fire was quickly put out.—Exeter Times-Advocate. 11 a 0 q. 0=101-0=0 a 0 0 0 0 0 0 O =0.2.0=0====0=0===0=0=10=01====01=110X=== The Wingham Advance-Times Telephone 34 The sale actually commences after the order is closed and the product has left your premises.

It's name, however given, carried pro- LETTERS TO Park Outrage THE EDITOR clamation of the use it was intended to be put to. It has been known as the "Ball Park" and until quite recently has looked its part, and has been help- ed to maintain its status by assistance from our Town Council and assiduous tendance by boys interested in sport welfare. Today, as a result of diabolical mas- age applied to its surface our park has been converted into a terrible eye-sore and made utterly unfit to administer the service it was intended to furnish. From many mouths I hear the ques- tion "who is responsible for this weird and wicked transformation. Who are they who have conspired to throttle sport in our town. On behalf of those who resent the tragic maltreatment our park has been subjected to I call upon our Council to tabulate its reasons for so manhand- ling a public plot that has been the scene of so many thrills in past years.
