The letter written on April 2nd., states to date 60 parcels of clothing had arrived. Some of the clothing had been sent to a mission and from there given to the poor children ih the country. He said life in Korea is pretty grim, with poverty everywhere. It will be a sastisfaction to those who shared and also to those who went to the trouble to pack and mail this clothing to' know that parcels are ar- riving and meeting the need sensed by our boys from Canada who are in service there. It will not likely be possible to know the exact amount shipped but later it is hoped a near estimate can be made. Besides the clothing donated, money was given to pay postage which amounted to fifteen cents per pound.

Vor the past five years we have been hearing and read- ing stories about the phenomenon known as "flying sauc- ers", a term used only because no better one has been suggested, All these tales seemed more than a bit remote and in this section of Western Ontario We have been prone to forget the whole goofy thing as the imaginings of those observers whose reason is too readily affected by rumor. On Sunday, however, our thoughts along this line suddenly bumped into the nearest thing to reality so far produced by flying saucers. Thousands of people in On- tario, including hundreds in our immediate district did actually see the vapor trail left in the sky by some rapidly moving object. There is no question whatsoever about the trail. There may be some question about reports of (a) a radiation of light from "something" at the leading edge of the trail and (b) the actual appearance of some form of solid object in the same position. Detailed observations as to height and rate of travel were made by airport officials at points as widely separat- ed as -Toronto, London and Detroit, so there is no doubt- ing the reality of the strange occurrence. A few centuries ago men would have dismissed the entire business with a shudder and fervent crossings of themselves to ward off Satan and his dread doings. To- day, however, we are part of the age which must know the answer to everything, If the thing were a hit more credible we would undoubtedly blame it all on the Rus- sians, but at present we don't even credit them with such mysterious advances. Unquestionably the thought, perhaps by most sen- sible people unexpressed, is that maybe, just possibly, the strange objects could be from another planet. When it comes to the subject, of interplanetary travel, we are groping in the dark. None of the most learned scientists have as yet ascertained whether or not any of the known planets are inhabited. The strange and somewhat eerie visions which arise in the human mind when confronted with the unexplain- able, bring one back with a forcible slap to the funda- mentals. We all seem so well able to deal with the prob- lems of the known world that m all thought of the basic outlines of human history is forgotten. But spend a few moments contemplating the possibility of an invasion from man of another world . . • then indeed one begins to search for the word of the prophets. When you boil things down, the Bible is about the only source of information which can give us any clue to our future. Many of the ancient prophecies have already been fulfilled, and we therefore tend to search the Scrip- tures for some portent of a possible visitation from other worlds. Students seem to be agreed that any such indi- cation is lacking. The whole truth of the matter is that no logical ex- planation is available. If you happen to be the worrying kind, you don't find much comfort in such an indefinite conclusion. Personally, at the moment, we find the -entire matter so interesting that we have little time to be worried. However to return to reasonable supposition, it seems likely that the strange trails have been made by high-flying aircraft from Canadian or American bases, of which we have not been informed. SCOUTS ARE MISSING ITEM HERE During- the past few weeks this newspaper has carried an advertisement which sought to secure the names of those boys in the community who are interested in Scout- ing. It is some time since there was an active Scout Troop in Wingham, so perhaps the boys, as well as their parents, have forgotten just what a fine thing Scouting really is. The success of Scouting in any community is largely dependent upon good and continuing leadership. Bill Conron is the man who is interested in re-organizing the movement, but his interest is matched by many another former Scout or Leader, all of whom kno\ from previous experience just how great is the beneficial influence exert- ed in any community by Boy Scouts. Scouting has remained, for many years, the best thing of its ,kind. The reason that changing times and condi- tions have not lessened its effectiveness is contained in the soundness of the conception of the original plan by Lord Baden-Powell, its founder. He rightly guessed that an ap- peal to a boy's better nature, if made through his love of nature and his interest in hobbies, would get results. The Boy Scout movement was the interpretation of this reason- ing and it has been a success over the whole world. OPEN SEASON AGAIN? There was a time, a few years ago, when the week- end accident toll commenced with the first heavy travel at the first of July. Nov we find that the first fine days, Of spring are bringing motorists out in such numbers that the toll of dead and injured,makes the number one ttory in every Monday's newspapers. Surety, surely, we super-intelligent humans, who have brains enough to manufacture ever better and faster means of transportation, should be bright enough to contrive some more fool-proof method of -operation. We shudder in horror when the casualty lists are sent home from ft I(orea—but we read and promptly forget about the much higher figures which are 'being accumulated on our high-: ways.
