But One Marker in 1943 hien brought to the hospital myself," I got on my cycle and went to Mr. Quark, who was at the A.R,P. office , Then I came home, called the girls into the school hall, had prayer and ,sent the day pupils home. On the day Rangoon fell we had sent home all boarders up to Ferm P1. We now made. plans to send all home as quickly as possible. I went to the bank to get money to pay the teachers. Everyone there was very calm, I had just returned home when the siren gave the mostterrible wail. Even before I got the money into the safe the children were running to the trenlches, very nvell indeed, everyone to her own place. I called to Miss Hinman, "I believe this is the real thing," and ran to one of + the trenches, It seemed only a • t second: before the planes were over our heads. 'When we dug the trenches they had seemed so protest ii ed with foliage, but now when the g leaves ware off they seemed so exposed. 11 called to the girls to put their saris into their mouths and keep their steads down. The planes seemed to pass right over DDT heads several times. I wondered if they were going be bomb the govern- ment offices (next door to the school). Then we heard the dull thuds, not so loud as I had expected, and finally the all clear. We got the first, lot of girls to the station. I sent all far the north to Tuns and got everyone for the south out of town, nut many times I des- paired of ever getting them away. Wbdle we were in the ticket office the siren went again. A man opened the door and called in, "This is the real thing." I got the girls into the ticketoffice, made them sit down with their saris in their mouths and waited. They had shunted Dans and cars of oil from Burmaih Shell to the Town Station, so they were right beside us. Thea very black thunder clouds and heavy wind came up, and we seemed to be saved: from the sehond r*ld, The• station platform was like bed urn. ,But some blow we god the girls on the train. Then Miss Hannan went with the Ramachan- drapuram girls to the canal boats. But instead she got them on the bus far Dmakshanam, which was touch better. By evening all but one or two were away. Two children were in the hospital all through the raid. I got them off the following morning, The 'huge tanks by the shore had been, hit, but really only one empty Manufacture of Ontario motor vehicle plates for 1043 has been or- dered stopped by the federal steel controller in the interests of conserv- ing steel tor war industry. As a con - .sequence with 400,000 plates of steel already manufactured at Guelph Re- formatory, any needed balance will have a plate: made of some other ma- terial. Only one plate: per vehicle is being ,ntanufaotured, and probably only 400,000 vehicles will operate be- cause of general conditions arising from the rubber shortage and gaso- line restrictions. This year, however, the department issued 025,000 sets of plates, No Christmas Stockings! (+Huron Expositor) Perhaps its a little early to be talking about Christmas, but at that Christmas is only some thirteen weeks away, and when it does come, the British children are going to miss their Ctn'istinas stockings, The British radio. said last week , that children, over there got a little shock when they heard one morning that Christmas, stockings are going to be heavily rationed. B.J3.00, said that restrictions in raw materials and shortage of labor mean. that this year only one child out of every sixteen, will be able to get a manufactured Christmas stock- ing, and lucky ones will just have to be content with wooden toys and paper toys no metal clan be used.

Matches where chiiliren can get them are as dangerous as a fire maniac. Putting coal oil in the stove is akin to putting a torch to your house. A car, truck or tractor driven on your barn floor may reduce your buildings to "scorched earth." Safeguard life and property by practising every safety measure. Don't set a lantern down, even on a window ledge, but hang well up with a good strong snap. Keep matches in metal boxes out of the reach of children. Don't revive a fire with coal oil or gasoline. If you must drive a motor driven vehicle on your barn floor, make sure that the floor is swept clown of everything flammable. Life is dear—and buildings almost impossible to replace for the duration. Furthermore, your farm is one of the food 'baskets of the Empire—a vital cog in our Victory machine. Fight'to prevent fires, for your loss is the Nation's loss now.
