NAZI -MS -ON "CANADA.
Orson Welles, who is coming to
Canada to put his sturdy and flam-
boyant shoulder to
lamboyant'shoulder.to the war finance
wheel, has one great problem. That's
keeping up with the Orson Welles le-
gend. Fiver since Orson burst upon the
American, stage with the erratic efful-
fenPof mor e' hasp been trying
to kcee8'p upa .withetehis own reputation,
He has been regarded with mingled
alarm; admiration and disbelief as a
sort of baby Gargantua, he has been
hailed as the white hope of the lang-
uishing American theatre. "Orion
Welles," said one critic after watch-
ing him rornp through a rehearsal of
Native Son, with which he returned to
the New York stage after. two years
in Hollywood, "Orson Welles is a very
noisy young man,,but he is no phony."
George Orson Welles was born in
Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 1915. Right
from the start he met painters, writ-
ers, actors and all sorts of talented,
personalities in the arts, who treated
him as if -he were an adult, and soon
he believed' he was. At 27 he is a
very old man indeed, old in experience
and accomplishment, that is, but far
too young' for the beard which he
wore briefly in Hollywood.
He was a guest star at the Abbey
Theatre, Dublin, when he was only 16
(he had gone to Ireland on a sketch-
ing tour), and his production of Citi-
zen Kane last year climaxed the first
stage of a career which promises to
go tight on being more spectacular
than any of the characters he por-
trays..
Mr. Welles' role in Canadawill be
that of Sam. J. Dornan,'editor of the
weekly newspaper in Alameda, Sask-
atchewan, and hero of the 6th play in
the war finance series, "Nazi Eyes on
Canada." The broadcast will be heard
coast-to-coast from the Toronto stu-
dios of the OBC' on Sunday, October
25th at 7.30 pan. EDT, 8.30 p.m. ADT.

ing an article on Homes. The dedica-
tory prayer was offered by Mrs. Mc-
Kinley.
The program ,of a Thanksgiving
nature was in charge of Mrs. Addi-
son, who led in prayer and presented
a very pleasing and complete report'
of the sectional meeting which was
held at•Brucefield. Assisting her were
_I' Mrs. Van Horne, who read the 96th
Psalm, Mrs. Oakes ,who contributed
a vocal solo, and Mrs. Britton, who
gave a report on Christian Steward-
ship. '

pah benediction.
Officer Makes Big
Catch in B. C.
Lieutenant W. K. Rorke, son of
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Rorke, now in
command of a platoon of the Cana-
dian Army at a British Columbia
coast point, spends some of his off-
duty hours in fishing and has written
his parents describing his experience
in that sport. He writes' that one
fish he caught "fed our whole pla-
toon and then some, and was really
good. I hooked it about 6.00 p.m. and
didn't dare try to get_at near the boat
for over an hour. They're all fight
and this once he just went crazy run-
ning a hundred yards or so in differ-
ent directions."
"Recently I went with Wally Mc-
Pherson, Bill Ball's cousin (Bill Ball
of Clinton, new in the army), to a
place called Cowichan Bay, a famous
fishing place, and saw salmon leaping
out of the water all' over the place,"
he writes. "Strangely ,however, ,they
weren't biting, but, it is, not unusual
to get six or eight big ones. They
(echoes) go up to,la ]'bs, but the us-
ualwitch is 5 to` 8 lbs. A few were
caught but not many and there were
at least 150 boats,out in the bay."
.Retching to his work Ken •(Dick)
writes': "Our Men are having a good
time and have about completed their
period of training.,Work,is••mucir eas-
ier here than at Niagara—only one
platoon, whereas there I' had eight
platoons at one titre."

Letter to Farmers Regard-
• ing the Victory Loan
By President A. W. Morgan
Dear. Editor:
Regarding the Victory Loan, we
have something to say to Our fellow:
farmers throughout Huron County.
This is our War and our Govern-
ment is find'in'g it necessary to
raise unprecedented sums of 'mon'ey to
prosecute it as we demand. They
have two sources of revenue, taxation
and borrowing from Canadian citi-
zens. Victory .positively necessitates
voluntary sacrifice ,both of life and.
the giving up of things, we - want.
Should we fail to win the war, your
farm, your homes, your investments
and your savings as well as the pro-
ducts of your labours will be Hitler's
prize. Your sacrifice now will mean
freedom later and your 'purchase of
victory Bonds now will, mean Money
to use when the war is won: '
Some imagine that the smaller i
Bonds are umirnppntant but it is to
secure these that we have Victory
an drives, Oon't leave it 'all to •the
