Mayor Brown
Mr. Attridge introduced Mayor E. D.
-Browns who after greeting the audience
read) a letter which he had received re-
eently from a nephew in England who
. lives on ;the outekirts of London and
who, in addition to his normal occupa-
tion, acts as an A.B.P.: warden.. The
letter told how the people of London
are going about their business as usual
despite speradie .bombings. • Redone

writer expressed bis regret that Hitler
• :has not had a -go at invading England,
.f_s but "you can't expect him to be s that
. obliging- ." The writer closed by say-
ing, "Well, I must get on with mywork
now." • - •

Mayor Brown .suggested that the,
letter was a- Perfect example or the
British. Ririe "The .people in Eng-
land are standing inhuman conditions,
•'"
butaretaking it and going about their
workas usual." He compared their
life with what We.have here in Canada.
",Etverything is The same as it Ittaitya
was here.We hear planes overhead,,
bat we look up not. with per but with
pride and. gratitude. The -wet- has
scarcely touched Me. We have Simply
given .a few • dollars and a little tf our

our effort. We are jest getting into
stride. The 'ming. men are enlisting
;as fast as • they are called. • The , Red,
-10ross is filled.- with materials to aid
--the_ wounded ane the.fa.ctories of Can-
ada are opening up to replace What Is
lost in England. We have just com-
pleted a war savings drive; now a
further opportunity is before us -an op-
portunity te further the comforts of the
young men who are enlisting. The
army provides clothing,Shelter and
food, but the soCial, recreational And
:educational ;end is pp to us. Where
will the -soldier go' afterdutyThe
answer is in the various war services
which we shall: hear of thisevening."
. The Mayor expressed hisi,torifidence
that the people of Goderich" will meet
' the . canvassers with open pbeketbooks.
