Would Hitler be stopped today?
The following are some
thoughts from Seaforth World.
War 1 veteran, Harry Palin.
First in a series of three.
In the days before the First
World War the English pub was
more like a club. In the evening
as the poet read "the Plowman
Homeward plods his weary
way." He would go home and
have his supper, then on to the
pub and his friends. He would
have a pint of beer and great
things were argued and settled.
High on the agenda was social-
ism. It was agreed that it
wouldn't work, it never had and
it never would.
One night gluey- td`�scussed
whether monkeys were smarter
than them. After much arguing it
by Harry Palin
JI
remember
m
was decided that some monkeys
were smarter than some men,
and after a great deal of thought
in my 95 years, I have decided
that this is true. I am writing this
not to tell what I know but
something to make you think.
We send children to school to
teach them things, not to get a
job or education. Education
starts when you leave school if it
hasn't started before. We all
know our education has gone to
pot. It all started when Bill
Davis took the stick out of
school, and people started read-
ing Dr. Spock.
We are supposed to teach
history at school but we all
know nobody ever learned any-
thing from history. Take the time
between the two world wars.
Hitler went shouting up and
down Europe and people listened
to him especially the Germans.
Churchill was talking in England
and nobody listened to him, not
till about 1938. And Chamber-
lain tried to hold the war back
till England could get ready for
it. At least some people were
getting smarter than monkeys but
not soon enough. I wonder if
another Hitler comes along, and
it seems possible, will there be
another Winston Churchill to
counteract hini?
Thief attempts car
break-in at Kippen
There was an attempted theft
from a vehicle on the side of High-
way 4 in Tuckersmith Twp., just
North of Kippen. The vehicle
involved ran into the ditch due to
poor road conditions at about 7:15
p.m. Dec. 22 and a thief got the
face plate off but failed to steal the
stereo before the tow truck came to
remove the vehicle.
On Dec. 18 at 12:01 a.m. thieves
were foiled at Lot 9, Cons. 3,
Tuckersmith Twp., (the edge of
Egmondville). The perpetrators
were attempting to steal a car when
they were interrupted by the owner.
The would-be thieves who had
damaged the glove box, ignition
and the plastic cowling with a
screw driver are described as fol-
lows:
The first suspect is tall and thin,
possibly 5 ft 11 inches and approxi-
mately 16 years old. The second is
short and stocky about 5 ft 4 inches
and about 16 years old.
Both suspects were wearing
multi -coloured, patch -styled coats
and white baseball caps.

This -photo, courtesy Frank Sills, shows the first aeroplane ever seen in the district which drew crowds u
to the farm of Robert Garrow, opposite the Maitlandbank cemetery. The plane was flown by Cadet
Claude Wilson. The pilot was later killed in an air battle a day or two before the close of the war. On the
day of his death he encountered five German planes_ He downed three before being shot down by the
other two. He was a grandson of the late W. R. Wilson, of Brussels.„
