The young lad was leading one of the horses from the barn on a halter, when the cream separator exploded while it was in op- eration. The terrific noise of the ex- plosion made the horse rear' up and threw him to the ground where the animal trampled on his leg and ankle. —Harriston Review. 21 Years of Perfect Attendance A. W. Blowes, Mitchell's town clerk, is having his first real holiday in the twenty-one years he has served in this capacity. That is to say that the town is providing a supply for his duties during his absence. When Mr, Blow- es has gone to camp, as required in recent years, his wife has looked after the office, as well as during the time when he was engaged in selling Vic- tory Bonds during several campaigns. At that he always returns to town for council meetings and will do so next week, a record which he has estab- lished down through these 21 years. Not one such meeting has been missed since July, 1924. — Mitchell Advocate.

XING AND PRESIDENT MET History was made at Plymouth, England, Thursday when King George and President Truman met and ex- :charged greetings. The King had President Truman as his dinner guest aboard the cruiser Renown and the King later went aboard the United States cruiser Augusta to inspect a ward of honour. This is the first time that a president has bee in England since President Wilson went there following the last war. It is an important thing, not only for Bri- tain and the United States, but for the world in general that the friendship of these two countries be kept intact. The people of the United States have -supported the war in great measure with great sacrifice and so have -the British, The entry of the United States in the war when the British Empire stood alone against Germany was appreciated by all involved in the struggle. Our relationship with the 'United States has grown closer &ming 'these war years and it is just as im- portant for it to remain so during the :years of peace. * * * * STARLINGS A NUISANCE Efforts have been made in many 'localities to extinguish the starlings, but it is almost an impossible task -unless action is taken on a very large -scale. In ten days the three starling shoots have been held under the aus- pices of the Kitchener and Waterloo police and 1700 of these pests were destroyed. Efforts •have been made to -electrocute them and to trap them but each year it seems they are as plenti- ful or more so than ever, They clo harm. and , as they travel in flocks they spoil many trees where they roost. These birds are now a major problem and every effort should be made to exterminate them. We know of one beautiful woods that was practically destroyed by these teeth- ed pests. BLACK MARKET'S It is said that the black markets of Western Ontario will be the target of the Royal Mounted Police and the wartime Prices and Trade Board. The great enemy of price control is the operations of black markets. Few we imagine in this section would have any idea that the operation of the black market in Western Ontario were of such proportions to require an investi- gation. It is a difficult thing for the government and the Wartime Prices and Trade Board to keep prices within the control limits and anyone who- pur- chases on the black market is helping to put the skids under present price levels. • * * No hot dogs will be served on meat- less Tuesdays and Fridays.

St. Augustine Honoured Returnedif oldiers A very large crowd attended a re- ception in the St. Augustine parish hall on Wednesday night for four of the returned servicemen of that dis- trict: Rev, Father E. J. McMahon gave an address of welcome to the men and wished them the best in their future. A purse of money was pre- sented to each man by William Keni- han. The guests of honour were Wal- ter Tares, who was recently discharg- ed from the army after having served in Italy, where he was wounded, and Pte. Earl Leddy, John Foran and Bill Martin of the R.C,N.V.R. Swastika Flag on Display In the window of The Expositor of- fice this week there is displayed a genuine German flag, bearing a large black Swastika. It is not there be- cause we are Nazis, or have any- use for that breed, but because it is the prized souvenir of a gallant Canadian soldier, Sgt, j. 5. Holland, of Seaforth, who took it from a store window in Xanten, a German town near Wessel, on the Rhine River.—Seaforth Huron Expositor. Chicks Shipped to Mexico By Plane One hundred and eight baby chicks hatched in Fergus, travelled to Mex- ico by air and word has been' received by the Tweddle Chick Hatcheries, that they arrived at the end of their journey of a day and a half with every one alive and healthy.

Elect Trial by Jttry The Platten brothers, Charles and Dayton, of Toronto, elected trial by Judge and jury on charges of breaking, entering and theft of a safe at the Sea- forth Creamery on June I. The pre- liminary hearing was set for next Thursday's weekly court at Goderich, by Magistrate A. F. Cook, * American $20 Bills Traps Juveniles Judge T. M. Costello adjourned 10 juvenile cases for a week, Three Gode- rich boys were charged with breaking, entering and theft at 5. C. Cutts store several weeks ago front .which groc- eries, chocolate bars, cigarettes and syrup were taken. 'The exchange of American $20 bills, for purchases in local stores led to the apprehension of three boys. Valuable papers and $72 were recovered of $90 contained in a wallet taken by the boys from a park- ed American car parked at the beach. Jumped from Car - Injured Said to have become panicky when the conversation turned to the topic of auto brakes that do not hold, Mrs. Haberer, of Zurich, opened the door of the car in which she was riding and jumped out. Falling headlong on the road, she was badly cut, scratched and bruised, and had several teeth knocked out, Suicide Verdict in Arthur Death Dr. E. C. McFarlane, Arthur phys- ician and surgeon, signed his wife's death certificate and attributed her death to indigestion and cardiac fail- ure as a means to "hush up" the fact that she was suicide. The doctor ad- mitted this to a coroner's jury at Ar- thur during an investigation into the death of Mrs. McFarlane. The jury found that she died of self-administer- ed strychnine and. said: that the coron- er, Dr. 5, IC Blair,, was lax in his duties for not holding an autopsy of the woman's. body befbre releasing it for burial when a: croubt existed:in his mind' as to, the, cause of death.. The jury also found' that the death certifi- cate was not in, proper. form in: that it had not been signed' by-an independent physitian before being signed' by the coroner:. Mrs ETcbarlane died on July 9, and' was buried two, .:lays later. On July- 20' the body, was exhumed on order of the attorney-general and an autopsy- was performed. By Frank Morriss Re-establishment Pacts Its nice to have the facts straight on any subject, and when it comes to the re-establishment of the men and wo- men who have served their country in uniform in the difficult days ahead .. well, its doubly important that we get things straight. And that is the reason that the Re- habilitation Information Committee, with the assistance of the Wartime Information Board, is putting such stress on booklets dealing with the question of re-establishment The first of these booklets, "The Common-sense of Re-establishment," lately of the press is yours for the ask- ing. A copy may be obtained by writ- ing to the Distribution Section, War,' time Information Beard, Ottawa. "The. Common-sense of Re-estab- lishment" is just what its title implies —a straightforward, easy-to-read sum- mary of rehabilitation. Its 88 pages contain pretty well everything the ord- inary cititen needs to know about the subject. Adding to ifs appeal are bright, witty illustrations that serve to point up the message the printed word conveys. * * * A Quick Glance Let's take a quick glance through the booklet. It takes you, step-by-step through the re-establishment machin- ery. Having explained this, the book- let goes on to tell about "Getting the Old Job Back," Getting a New Job," educational grants, vocational training, land settlement grants, commercial fishing, owning your own home, estab- lishing a small business, getting tools or equipment or working capital, gov- ernment insurance . . in fact, all the phases of rehabilitation. * * * India's Contribution Glancing through another booklet, "India at War," issued by the British Information Services, I learned a good many things about India's war effort. I found out, for instance, that the pre- war strength .of the Indian army was ,182,000, and today it is more than 2,000,000. FOr three and one-half years recruitment has been at the rate Of 50;000 to 60,000 a month, The per- sonnel of the Royal Indian Navy has :increased' from 1,200 officers and men 'at the time, of the outbreak of war to .nearly 30,000 by the beginning of 1944. `The Indian Air Force has also made wonderful advances. The booklet also details India's industrial effort, which is also surprising. India has contributed £29,000,000 worth of reciprocal aid to the United States. India is the only source of jute supply to the United States and is a principal supplier of mica. Other important Indian materials exported arc manganese, shellac, talc, beryl and kyanite. Safer Travelling With Radar Radar, which has been a priceless wartime asset, bids fair to bring a greater measure of safety into peace- time living. Peacetime uses for radar may prevent airplanes from crashing into mountain sides, reduce shipwrecks and collisions, avert many tragic rail- way accidents, and eventually render lighthouses unnecessary. It is only recently that the veil of secrecy was torn from radar, the "magic eye" which -locates moving targets despite fog, cloud, darkness or distance. Canada has played an out- standing part in making this weapon for Allied nations, For instance, the government-owned Re-search Enter- prises Limited produced radar and optical instruments valued at more than $2,000,000. The way radar works may be be- yond the understanding of us laymen. But we do know that it played an im- portant role in the Battle of Britain; in bottling up the Italian. Navy; in opera- tions in Italy, Normandy, the Phillip- pines and Iwo lima. U.S. Boosts Budget Washington, — A revised federal bcdget of $85,000,000,000 was issued on the assumption the war in the Pacific will roar on until next summer or longer. Spending by the United States Government now is forecast at $85,000,000,000 in the fiscal year 1946, which began a month ago. A record- breaking $100,000,000,000 was spent in fiscal 1945.
