Older residents recall when the early morning run would be jammed to capacity, the engineer stopping at each crossing to pick up farmers' wives with their hampers of butter and eggs. Ihe line was always a quite active rut, but in recent years the bus and truck lines from London up through the Brice peninsula have cut in on the railroad rrevenue. So far not enough thee has elapsed to get a kielcrback on Satufrday',s notification, but all those contacted say that a strong protest will be made against the action of the .rail - toad in closing this section of the road It is' feared that the, closing of the Toad would mean .serious delay in the mail from London unless provis- ion was made to have the express and mail delivered from Clinton to. Wingham by means of other trans- portation facilities. Cutting off of the railroad from Wingham to Clinton would also mean leaving such centres as Belgrave and Londesboro without rail connections. It would leave' Wingham served by A Sister Passes Word was received early Monday evening of the death of Mrs. Albert Halstead of Winnipeg, Man. She is a sister of Mas. Geo. Holland and Mr. J. B.

T. Cooper:, ' October 21st, 1940 MY DEAR MOTHER AND DAD: Here is my first letter to you from a dugout! The• time is 7.15 p.m. I have just finished my 'high teae and as the sirens have sounded, I have retired to the shelter in the woods because I find it quite impossible to remain indoors when the Beche, planes start coming over as they have each night now for more than six weeks. None of the "front-line" effects is missing. There is the woe -woe -woe of the planes, the sharp bark of the light guns and the deep -throated roar of the large guns in the barrage. There is the noise of shells overhead and the all too frequent "crump of bombs sometimes in the distance, sometimes unpleasantly close at hand. If I were outside I would probably see parachute flares descending and "flaming onions" going up towards them in an effort to extinguish them. Moat of the planes go right over to. London but it often happens that they elect to circle overhead sometimes for an hour or more at a time, in an ef- fort to find their targets. You see we are rather unfortunately placed in relation to railways, roads, and other military objectives which I can- not relate. You know these circling planes will drop their eargo some- time and unless we always hope for the best, there is sufficent uncertain- ty about the whole business to make it most unappetising. I have a big shell fragment with various jagged edges and a spent machine-gun bullet in my pocket which were found on the lawn to- day. Several of our tiles have been knocked off but otherwise our home has escaped unscathed. Other people have not been so fortunate and hard- ly a day elapses at the factory with- out one of our employees coming in— on time to report that bis or her hcme is a mass of ruins. Lack of sleep is what finest of us find the worst to bear. Things al- ways seem' blacker and much more terrible when you are tired and fag- ged out. These raids which become earlier each night last often until 6,30 or 7 o'clock in the morning. I do a 2 hours spell of duty in our Close every night in case incendiary bombs are dropped, (several homes have been burned out irk Esher), in addition to which I put in a full night each week in charge of the Home Guard at the factory. Going to bed with a book and reading for awhile before putting out the lights for a peaceful right just seems a dream now. Evon during the day and the fowler the weather the better, the Bache planes come ever. At first we used to go to .cover immediately the "alert" was sounded but all that is altered now. Only when the alarm sounded by the roof watch goes, do we take shelter at the factory and only by such a method which saves 90s: of the time wasted hinder the original scheme, can rr•nduetion, so essential to our war ef- frht, proceed. Such a system is in force all over the country. Every ei»ilian—at least in the bigger cities —is literally "in the front line" now. eril r roud they are tco of sharing to dangers with their•cotnrailes in khaki and making their contribution towards the ultimate over(hro-w of Hitler• & Mussolini, and their tesl ee- tive assassins, Make no mistake, this is not a natioa to be cowered aril frightened by the brutal onslaught of the Nazi bombers with its hideous attack on defenceless citizens; this is a nation united es never before in a determined resolve to rid the world of one of the fowlest and cruelest regimes it has ever known. That they will succeed in their crelada is as certain as that night will follow day; You see this now front the utterances of our leaders, not from the writings in the. -papers, but from the determin- ed set of the jaw and the steely glint in the eyes, of the man in the street, the worker who bears all his suffering without flinching, the girl who turns upon time despite disloca- tion of .traffic, to take her place in the nation's workshop. Perhaps the experiences are a Little grisnmer these days but there is still tithe for a cheery salutation in the morning and a 'fond welcome for the family at night before 'going to earth' for, yes, another nocturnal pergatory. These people will never be beaten, they just don't know the meaning of the word. It may be a long and cruel journey butt they will arrive at the post in the end well ahead of those savages who stand for all that is fowlest; and mast bestial in this 20th century civiliza- tion which they have exploded for their own selfish ends. Above all are the people over here grateful to the Dominions for their support in this time of crisis. Our boys from Can- ada have been given a great recep- tion and it must be a source of great pertubation to the enemy to see the way the Empire rallies to the Mother- land with even increasing weight of human and material numbers as the time of their inevitable overthrow proceeds relentlessly to its climax. If there is anything in the forego- ing wlrielt the "Record" might like to print, then they are welcome to it" Wesley -Willis W. A. Christ- mas Party The December meeting of the W. A. of Wesley -Willis Chinch was held on Wednesday, Dec. 4th and took the form of a Christmas party, with a splendid attendance. The president, 14Irs. Patterson presiding.

It willget them ready for market in 6 months or less, thirdA and vital reason why SHUR--GAIN Hog Concentrate should' be fed to your hogs is that grain alone does not supply the pro- tein, minerals and vitamins that a hog needs. SHUR-GAIN is designed to supply just these elements - and when added to your own grains, you achieve a balanced feed which will get best results in hog feeding. SHUR-GAIN is economical - you require only a little more than half as much grain - your hogs will be ready for market earlier - they will be healthier, stronger and will grade better. Your feed costs will be lower - if you use SHUR-GAIN. 1 3 CLINTON, ONTARIO re +diereiaretererr sere eieramereiereiPie'rasemzer2r rGrer2lirrrrmetietereteserereteleseiererererere a^i CLINTON FEED MILL I.
