Here is a list of the 1940 color schemes for the different provinces in Canada: Alberta, orange on black; British Columbia, yellow on black; Manitoba, white on apple green; New Brunswick, yellow on green; Nava Scotia, white on black; Ontario, black on yellow; Prince Ed- ward Island, white on. black; Quebec, White on black; Saskatchewan, red on white.

A "B•ONNIE FECHTER" (Sherbrooke Record) A woman whose husband has been called for war service was standing on the station platform as the train sped. away. Suddenly she burst into tears. When- the stationmaster tried to, 'cheer her up by saying that her hus- band would come back all right, she replied: "It's not him I'm crying about—it's them poor Germans. P know what my Bill's temper is like when he starts." AMBULANCE, BLANKETS WILL BE SENT OVERSEAS. Dr. Fred W. Routley, national corn- missioner of the Canadian Red Cross Socie€y, said it is planned to ship more than 100 ambulances to the British Isles just as soon as trans- portation can be arranged. Blank- ets also will be sent. .The number of ambulances promis- ed the British Red Cross by individ- uals, business firms and clubs. throughout Canada has reached more than 130, and 'more .than. 58,000 blankets have .been collected. Presentation. to Teacher S, S. No. 10, Iriullett held their annual picnic at Harbor Park, God- erieh, on Friday, June 21st, with a large attendanoe. The afternoon was pleasantly spent in sports conducted by the trustees and teacher. After a bountiful picnic supper, the teach- er, Miss Beth Arnett, was honoured by the school. section, the ex -pupils and the pupils, in presentations. On behalf of the section, an ad- dress was read by Mr. Edward Yung- blutt. Then Mr. John Snell, Mr. Wilfred Fenfound and Mr. William Govier presented Miss -Arnett with a walnut writing desk. Mr. Yungblutt also read a letter of recommenda- tion and appreciation of the work done by Miss Arnett cluring the thir- teen and a half years that she .has been teacher of S. S. No. 10, Hallett. This letter was also presented to Miss Arnett. The ex -pupils showed their ap- preciation in an address read by Miss Eleanor Sprung and the presentation of a walnut end table by Miss Elva Snell and Miss' Ruth Vodden, On behalf of the pupils, Lucile Case and Elgin Penfound. presented Miss Arnett with a chair, following the readingof an address by Berva Mair. Though taken by surprise Miss Arnett feelingly replied in a few words, in which she expressed her appreciation for the gifts and for the many acts of kindness and goodwill shown to her by the pupils, parents and school board, during her years as teacher. All joined in singing, "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow." FREEWILL ,OFFERINGS LARGE, SMALL, POUR IN TO AID CANADA'S CAUSE A spirit of splendid ' sacrifice courses through the still increasing list of freewill offerings to Canada's war cause. Large and small, gifts pour in to the Minister of Finance. 1 John Douglas, a farmer of Rose - 1 dale, Alberta, writes: "I have 400 acres rn wheat and aver 100 head of pigs and cattle, so I am willing to turn everything I've got if it will on ly help Canada win the war, as long as I am able to get gas and oil for niy tractor to keep ploughing and en- ough to eat. P11 do my part, and I believe that hundreds mare would do the same." Gentlemen cadets and members of the staff of the Royal College, King- ston, ccitribute $1,792.55. Ninety per cent of the contribution comes from 104 gentlemen cadets, half of whom are. completing their course this mon- th and are then joining active ser- vice components of the defence forces of Canada and Great Britain. The balance was contributed by the staff of the College. Students of a boy's school have .undertaken. a programme of system- atic saving by purchasing war sav- ings stamps and have donated their first stamps to Canada's war budget. The amount involved is $1.20. WHAT ABOUT TWO YEAR TERM? If citizens desira municipal elec- tions to be held annually after this year it is necessary that they intim- ate this to the Council. The Council may decide to put the, decision for the longer term up to the ratepay- ers. If they do not do this a petition. from five percent of the ratepayers obligates the Council to pass the by- law and submit the question at the election this year and leo doubt many Councils will let the ratepayers de- cide on whatever plan may be desir- ed. If Council does not submit a by- law, the two-year term automatically becomes effective and the municipal bodies elected for 1941 carry on for a two-year term. If a vacancy oc- curs during the, tenure of office the remaining members of the Council or Board choose the person for the position.—Acton Free Press. RESPONSIBLE FOR ' MANY THINGS Besides the Victorian Era, the passing of which is so bitterly lamented by some old people, and likewise rejoiced in by some young people, Good Queen Victoria was re- sponsible for many other causes and events. And among them was the inven- tion of the safety pin. When Queen Victoria was a baby a call was sent out through the whole of England for a pin that would hold her baby clothes upon her, without attacking or attaching any of the tender skin. And an old jeweler whose name is now unknown, solved the problem by taking a piece. of wire and cut- ting a groove the whole length of it, and then putting a smaller pointed wire in the groove. LONDON ROAD The regular monthly meeting of the Huron Road Club was held at the home of Mrs. Geo. Falconer, the meeting was opened with singing, "Blue Bells of Scotland". 18 mem- bers were present. The creed was repeated and the roll call was an- swered by "flower gardens". The secretary's report was given. $10 was donated to the Red Cross. 9 pair socks were brought in, and more yarn given out and quilt patches given out. Plans for the picnic to be held in Goderich on the 18th of July were• made and all on the London Road are invited. A program was given, the current events was given by Mrs. Anderson; readings by Mrs. Plum- steel and .Mrs.. Manning. The Na- tional Anthem Was followed by lunch served by the hostess.

GROVES PRINCESS STREET — CLINTON, ONTARIO Asking For Homes For Refugee Children Applications are being received by the Huron County Children's Aid Society front people who are willing to take refugee children who are coating to Canada from England. In many cases the homes of these child- ren have already been destroyed. The children range in age from 5 to 16, and several applicants for girls have already been received, but Routes are urgently needed for boys, Every hone will be inspected be- fore the children are placed. This is to prevent them getting into homes where they might be over worked or otherwise deprived of the privileges of childhood, The houses must be free, that is people who accept child- ren will be contributing to the war effort of the Empire, as no person , is to be paid for taking one or more for such period of time as circum- 1 stances may warrant. }Iurcn County can be relied upon to do its full duty in this direction.' Applications for children should be addressed to Mr. H. T. Edwards, Superintendent of Children's Aid' Society, Goderich. Remember the words of our Say- 1 1 iour, "Suffer little children to come unto me," MAKE DRIVE FOR WAR FUNDS 1 Wanting to share in, the nation's war work, Kincardine High School1 pupils have assigned themselves the task of raising' funds which will be turned over for the purchase of war 1 materials. The objective of each pu- pil is $10., and the deadline for rais- ing the sum is the close of the school term. As a consequence, a hive of in- dustry has arisen in the community. Pupils are attempting all kinds of endeavor to raise the money. Girls are doing housework, giving teas.and centering into other forms of sctiv- ity. Boys are mowing lawns, wash- ing cars, and taking every kind of work they can get to earn their quota. THIN WEDDING RINGS IN GERMANY Hitler is now cutting down on wed- ding •rings. A rapidly diminishing gold supply is one, of Germany's trouble. Official decrees, published in the Franithu'ter Zeitung, reveal the Reich running so short of gold that the German fountain pen may no longer be fitted with gold nibs; that gold is not to be used as a mount for precious stones and even roman- tic Leischen's wedding rings must be of no more than 5 carat gold. Lest the bride should be tempted to secure a heavier wedding ring, another de- ' tree steps in with another "verbot- en." For the total weight Rf metal I in the • ring . is alsolimited, , REV. S. J. ALLIN !1 DIES IN TORONTO 1 In Ministry 08 Years Rev. Samuel James Allen, 83 died on Friday at his home in Toronto, bringing to a close a ministry that 'through over much of Ontario and through 68 years, Mr. Allen though he had been retired from the active ministry for some years, had, as his last ministerial work, been assistant to Rev. Dr. C. C. Scott at Howard Park United Church, Mr. Allen was born in Ilfracombe, Devonshire, England, and came with his fancily tothis country at the age of seven.

FIRST CASUALTY FROM KINCARDINE DISTRICT Bringing closer to home the fact that there is a bitter war in progress in which Canada is engaged is word of the first casualty from Kincardine district. Pilot Officer Marvin Ii. Brown, son of Mrs. W. J. Brown of Point Clark was reported on Monday to have been wounded while serving with the air force in the battle of France. Extent of the injuries is not known, but there is no word to in- dicate they are serious. Pilot Officer Brown was one of the first to be accepted by the R.C.A.F. and has been overseas for some time. GIFTS WITHOUT SET PURPOSE PREFERRED While the Govermnent fully ap- preciates free will money contribu- tion by Canadian citiaons, it is point- ed out by Finance Minister Ralston that it is preferable not to earmark the giftfor a particular piece of equipment, The donors should permit their contributions to be added to the consolidated revenue fund.
