The water rose to a height of five feet on the fish shanties on the north side of the river, before it found en outlet over the piers, None of the buildings were damaged but when the water subsided it was found that everything inside the shanties were turned upside down and the nets were full of niud. Louis McLeod, Bayfieid's veteran fisherman,s Says that it will set them back two weeks cleaning things up. He never remembers seeing the ice piled up three and four feet on the South pier as it is now. He was at the river and had a row boat in readiness, for any emergency. The water rose over the flats so iuiekly that Pat Graham and Charlie Guest, tvho were waiting to . see the ice go out, had only time to get into Louis McLeods' boat which was beached for the winter with other boats west of the shanties. Louis joined them in Itis row boat and was instrumental in drawing' other boats to safety. By this time the other fishermen had arrived and boats were drawn farther up and secured to trees. Despitetheiref- forts, however, some damage was done by the huge cakes of ice. The rud- der on Toms Bros, 'boat was broken, Ed Sturgeon's was damaged, Fred Tel- ford's boat jammed against the shanty when it was floated and then jammed on a nigger head; breaking the plank- ing. A flat bottomed boat belonging to Ia. Telford escaped and was carried out into the lake by the strong cur- rent One hydro pole was broken and hydro wires snapped. A heavy fog which arose about five o'clock ob- scared the view, When the mouth of the river cleared the water went down almost as quickly as it had risen leav- ing huge cakes of ice' on the land. Peter's Rock garden is piled high. The boys had an exciting time killing river rats which had been flooded out of their holes. They sought refuge on all high spots, even on net reels. Second of Canada's Oldest Twins Dies Hanover's oldest resident, Charles Wendorf, died at tile home of his daughter, Mrs. C. Schaaf. He would have anarked his 96th, birthday on Ap- ril 8. He was born a twin brother of the late 'William Wendorf, whose death occurred three : years ago, and who before the latter's death were Cana- da's oldest twin brothers. Mr. Wendorf was born in Mechlen-: burg, Germany, and served in the Franco-German war in 1870. In 1875 the twin brothers came to Canada and settled in Hanover; where for many years they were engaged in the livery business, one at each end of the town. They were keen rivals in business but always close friends. Surviving are two daughters and three sons. Mr. Edward Wendorf of Clinton is a cousin of the deceased. As seen by the Hamilton Spectator: "Mr. Churchill is still the dauntless warrior, the master of pure diction and a statesman whose nature grows • with the mellowing, years."

V Call -Up For April Shows Marked Cut The: April call-up of Western Ontar- io manpower for compulsory military service will be slightly less than 90" it was learned Monday. This fig- ure is a marked reduction from the fall and early winter months when as high as 1,400 men' were '.being called over a 30 -day period. Lowering of the April call-up is taken as evidence of increased recog- nition by the Dominion Government of the farm labor shortage problem., With unlimited deferments being granted to farmers, draftees are being taken almost exclusively from city and Farm Help Wanted Single men,. military exempt. 11/fer- ried men, with families of working age.

They also said it has been decid- ed that airmail rates will be raised front silt to seven cents. Until now it was not known whether air mail as well as regular mail would carry the extra one -cent. tax imposed in Fin- ance Minister Ilsley's budget. Under an international agreement the unit stamp—now three cents in Canada and four cents when the one- cent additional tax is applied— must be read, To meet this requirement a new four cent stamp in red is being prepared and is expected to be avail- able about April 15. • i Color for the three -cent stamp in the new issue which will be in eon- siderable demand for "drops' Ietters addressed within the 'city where they are mailed, has not yet been decided. town employment, and „the subsequent narrowing down of the manpower field in this district' as well as in the rest of Canada may result in further exten-. sign of the callable age limit. As the farm production season rolls round, miltiary authorities are granting large numbers of "farm fur- loughs"' to ex -farmers who have vol- unteered for active -service. District soldiers are returning home on fur- loughs from as far away as British Columbia to take part in plowing and seeding operations. While farm labor will be none too plentiful in Western Ontario this summer, military and Selective Ser- vice authorities; believe the present system of granting deferments and farm furloughs will ease the farm pro- blem.
