Clinton Locker Plant
Rapidly Nearing
Completion
Official Opening Dates To Be
Announced Next Week
Mink Meat Storage Available
Construction of the Clinton locker
plant is rapidly nearing completion,
and those who have spent some time
watching this construction have been
greatly impressed with the quality of
workinanship and precision with
which the work is carried on.
The refrigeration equipment is now
being installed and test runs are ex-
pected to be made by the end of this
week, when the plan will be shut down
again for "the installation of lockers
and processing equipment.
Wide Range of Services
In order to give the maximum in
convenience to locker patrons, and in
order that they may derive the full
benefit of locker storage, which is
rapidly becoming a highly developed
industry, Mr, Batkin is incorporating
a wide range of services. For in-
stance, for those living in the town
and who do not produce cattle or
hogs, these will be made available. in.
quarters or halves at wholesale prices,
which will mean that a portion will
be able to use the very choicest of
baby beef at less than the price or
ordinary meat. For those who do pro-
duce these commodities, but who have
not the facilities for proper slaughter-
ing, this will be done for them at a
ac millet cost.
This beef when properly butchered
can be taken to the Plant where com-
plete processing service will be offer-
ed. That is, a regular processing tag
will ha supplied to the customer on
which the will mark the actual cuts,
and their weights, that are desired to
be taken from the carcass, and this
meat will be cut up, wrapped, and
frozen in convenient roasts, steaks,
chops, hamburg or sausage, that one
would buy for daily consumption, The
chilling room faciiities. will make it
Feasible for all of these carcasses to
be properly aged before cutting is
done.
Mink Meat Storage
A special room constructed at the
rear of the Plant for the storage of
mink meat has been built. This ad -
clition to the locker service will be
good news to fur farmers in the dist-
rid who have been shipping mink
meat many miles to obtain proper
storage.
Rates for storage are very reason-
able and it is expected that it will be
possible to take mink meat in, the
early part of next week. Complete
arrangements can be made by seeing
Mr, Batkin at the Plant,

erday that Ontario has gone over its

al Appeal, total returns from Ontario
branches totalling $2,401,688, This
amount was reached approximately
three weeks ahead of the correspond-
ing period of last year when $2,600,-
000 was brought in. When all returns
are in it is hope to this year exceed
the previous. mark.,
The objective • set for Canada was
$5,000,000. Ontario's share being half

Mrs. Harry Ahrens, who spent the
summer at the Trail Blazers Cottage
here has returned to her home in De-
troit, where she will open her fall
engagement with her orchestra, "The
Western Trail Blazers." The follow-
ing is a poem Mrs. Ahrens wrote:
Street Summertime
The beautiful summer has faded
away
To a place I'll calf No -Where, far,
far away;
All the violets are withered
And the lilacs are dead,
And the timely wee cowslips
Are all tucked in their bed.
The corn is cut, the threshing done,
The apples so red, hanging there in
the sun.
And although I have kissed
The sweet summer good-bye,
I love the beautiful fail,
And here is just why—Apples for all,
the Northern Spy.
The maples are turning to purple and
• gold,
So stately and high in their beauty
untold.
See that fall maple tree, t
Standing there in the land,
And at Robin is singing a farewell
refrain,
Good-bye everybody, I'll see you
again.
The birds are flying to their south-
ern home,
So far, far away, leaving us all alone.
Yes, summer had gone, leaving mem.-
ories dear,
And to some just a kiss and to some
a tear,
But to me just a sweetheart I hold
very dear, '
My beautiful summer I wish you'd
stay here.
And so I'll be waiting and watching
each day,
For I know you'll be back as sure
as you say,
Never once have you failed me,
Kept your word every time.
I'll be waiting and watching, sweet-
heart mine,
The girl of my dreams, My Sweet
Summertime.
The pumpkins are left in the garden
alone,
The cabbage and carrots have all
gone home,
Not a thing can you see that's a weel
bit green,
The pumrkins are hanging in for old
Hallowe'en.
So once more I'll say, sweet summer,
goodbye,
As you sail far away beneath a blue
sky..:
And as sure asthe sun goes to sleep
in the west,
Of all the sweethearts I've had, I
• yjove summer the best, • .

DUTCH SAILORS TO JAIL
Sixteen members of the crew of the
Netherlands package freighter; Prins
Willem III, which tied up at Goderich
on Wednesday afternoon of last week,
were taken an the ship early Friday
evening by a squad' of Royal Canadian
Mounted Police and lodged in the
county jail, The men were removed'
from the freighter in groups of two
and placed in police cars, which
swiftly conveyed therm to the jail. The
act of transportation was performed
so quietly that few in town knew the
men had been removed from the ves-
sel until they were informed of it
the next morning, after the ship hadf
slipped out of the harbor. Two of
the original eighteen prisoners &hang-
ed their minds and decided to stay
with Capt. W. P. C. Helsdingen and
serve in the British merchant marine
service, under which flag the Neth-
erlands ferighter was automatically ,
placed by the decree of Queen Wilhel-
mina when the Netherlands capitulat-
ed to Germany in May. Outside of
the captain, the steward and the two
men just mentioned, the crew which
sailed the vessel was made up of Can-
adian seamen from Montreal.

ATHLONES TAKE STROLL
ACROSS VICTORIA BRIDGE
Montreal—An historic bridge pro-
vided for the Governor-General and
the Princess Alice an opportunity for
a period of quiet seldom offered to
the viceregal couple during an offic-
ial visit. During their stay in Mont-
real, Their Royal highnesses had
motored to the South Shore and plan-
ned their return by way of Victoria
Bridge which carries to the Island of
Montreal, East and South train lines
of the -Canadian National Railways, a
vehicular roadway, an electric subur-
ban line and a pedestrian footpath.
Discovering this path on the down-
stream side of the bridge presenting
an extensive vista of the Metropolis,
the Harbor, St. Helen's Island and the
River St. Lawrence, the Athlones left
their car, and, accompanied by an
Aide, began their walk. From the St.
Lambert shore to the Montreal side,
the distance over the approaches and
the bridge spans is 9,144 feet, ap-
proximately one and three-quarter
miles, a nice constitutional on a pleas-
ant Autumn afternoon. When the
vice -regal couple reached the Mont-
real side the Canadian National Rail-
ways toll collectors and the bridge
guard formed at attention and their
salute was graciously acknowledged.
Vict5ria Bridge is named after
Queen Victoria, grandmother of the
Princess Alice. It was built as an
undertaking of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way, work commencing in July, 1854
on a steel tube carried on stone piers.
The first train crossing was on Nov-
ember 24, 1859. The official opening
followed in 1860 when on August 25,
the last rivet was driven by HRH, the
Prince of Wales, later to become
King Edward VII. After long service
increasing traffic neoessitated'the re-
placement of the original steel tube
single track bridge by an open-work
steel bridge carrying double track.
The work was completed December
13, 1898. During the Canadian visit
of HRH, the Duke and Duchess .of
Cornwall (King George V), on Octob-
er 16, 1901, they were escorted to the
spot where in 1860 the then Prince
,of Wales had driven the final rivet,
to formally "open" the reconstructed
bridge. The visit of the Princess Alice
thus brought a third member of the
royal. family , toathis, historic span

A Letter to the Canadian
People
Thousands of letters and parcels
for soldiers overseas are reaching the
Base Post Office bearing insufficient
or incorrect addresses. The Postal
Service does everything possible to
search military records to complete
the addresses, but even when this
can be done delay is inevitable.
Such delay causes disappointment
and anxiety to soldiers whose mail
fail to arrive when expected.
In order that the Canadian Postal
Corps may handle soldiers' mail
promptly, the co-operation of the
public in properly addressing letters
and parcels to soldiers is required.
May I count on your help?
Please remember, `that a complete
address is essential. Always indicate
the Regimental Number, Rank, Name
and details of Unit, i.e. Company or
Section, Squadron, Battery, Holding
Unit, etc., in addition to the Regi-
ment or Service, Base Post Office,
Canada.
If the addressee is still in Can-
ada, mail should not be addressed to
the Base Post Office, but to the Unit
and Camp in Canada.
Posters showing the proper method
of addressing soldiers' mail are on
display in all Post Offices.
Yours faithfully,
Postmaster -General.
