The Tail Twister, Ken Edgar, was
his usual bothersome self. One has to
give him credit for at least being con-

feel slighted if he didn't give us a
"ride."
The Publicity Committee re-establi-

Major Hetherington, who was in com-
mand of the 99th Battery, R.C,A., from
its mobilization in Sept. 1941, until its
recent return to Wingham, gave a most
interesting word picture of the activ-
ities of the 19th Field Regiment, of
which the 99th Battery formed a part,
from the time it started invasion 'train-
ing in October, 1943. He told how
they went into Hitler's Europe on D-
Day, via the Normandy beaches; of
how the invasion was evidently a com-
plete surprise to the Nazis, whose de-
fence positions were undermanned;
of how weather conditions hampered
the invaders a few days after the first
landing, holding back re-inforcements
and rendering the general supply situ-
ation most critical. He described act-
ions at Caen and Falaise, in France,
on the Schelde Estuary and in Hol-
land. It is impossible for us to convey
to our readers the whole picture he so
vividly portrayed; time and space will
not permit. He told of visiting the

Tavish; with 20 in attendance. The

portant is rural community organizat-

Women's Missionary Society
The January meeting of the W.M.S.
was held in the United Church School
room on Friday, January 11th., with
14 members and 2 -visitors' present.
The president; Mrs. A. Munroe' presid-
ed and the meeting opened with Invoc-
ation and ,the singing of the hymn,
battlefields of 1914-18, around Amiens,
Arras and Vimy Ridge, and assured
his audience that the Canadian Mem-
orial at Vimy had been untouched by
this war, and that no scars were visible
in any of these sectors where the Can-
adian Army of 30 years ago saw so
much action. Speaking of !Germany, the
Major said all the large cities he had
seen with one exception, were reduced
to rubble. The Allied advance had, in
most cases, followed main highways
and for miles on either side all was de-
vastation, but much of the rural areas
and small towns were unscathed. There
was no doubt that Germany's indus-
trial life was reduced to ashes, as it
were.
The speaker was accorded a most
hearty vote of appreciation for his fine
effort.
After the ladies had been thanked
for the excellent supper, the meeting
adjourned at 10 o'clock.
