The following is a letter received

' Edinburgh, Scotland,
January 14th, 1941
Dear Mother and Family:
Well I'll bet you sure have been
wondering what has happened to me, 1
bat never worry because I'll be al-
-right. I hope you got your Christ-
mas present all right. I had no pos-
sible chance of sending gifts hours so
I figured you could use the money to
a better advantage. Iso you remem-
ber the last letter I wrote you saying
that I was on the M. S. "Oslofjord."
Well luck was against us and we got
mined on the way from Bermuda to
England. I stayed there 10 days
and then went to Glasgow with anoth-
er chum and' got another Norwegian
ship, an oil tanker. When we were ,
on our way to Edinburg after coming
back from Malta we hacl a collision'
with another ship which -was in con- I
voy, We were towed into Grange-;
mouth Dry- Dock which is about 25 j
miles from Edinburgh, So now we
will be here for another month. I
sure was disappointed because we
were supposed to got right to New
York, and then I was going to pay
off and come home, But I guess it
will be another month or two before
I can think about it now. I am an
oiler on this Norwegian tanker and
am getting f24.8 a month and a bon-
us besides. That is about $118.00 per
month and 75c a day for every clay
we are in 'English waters. When I
got paid on the "Oslofjord" I had.
£73. which is about $350.00. I sent
you 435 and kept the rest but every-
thing is taxed so hutch that it sloes
not last long. I wc'uld have Written
you sooner only I figured that as it
tal::s alnto:,t a month for a 'letter to
go across that I would be home by
j then. Well how is everybody at
home? Its 50 101 g since I have been
!home that I guess evAcybody has
forgotten 1ne. I guess the fishing
:leas been over for a long time now.
I suppose Dean is still in Stratford.
George and Ronny sure will be grow -
1 ing up, Niter thing yon linow they
• will be as big' and strong as ane,
but I hope not as much roamers as I
am. I am writing this letter on Tues-
day 10.30 a.m. At the same instant
I ant writing this letter it will be 3.30
at honaw. I hope Grandma Currie and
' Grandma Castle are keeping well.
,Give therm my lave and regards. Last
Saturday night I was in Edinburgh
and I was just going in to sleep when
a :fellow came wanting up behind me.
It was a Canadian soldier 10001 C•lth.
I knew him well at home. His 051110
is 'Clive Coombs. He was on leave
and had to go back the following day,
so we sat up and talked, about the
good old times at home until about
2.30 pan. He sure was glad to see 100
. . . I met two chaps from Toronto a
few weeks ago. Their ship had sunk
and they were stranded over here,
broke. I gave one of then a sweater,
suit and coat and he said as soon. as
11e gob home he would send it to me.
I don't suppose he has sent it yet,
has he? Are Stewart, Mac, Eugene
still around? 7 sgppos0 Chuck Park-
er will have been home at least two
months DOW.
Well I guess I will close now witth.
all my love ands regards. Give lova
to all the family.
Your loving son,
1 Ken,
P.S. Dad have the Dodge 'working,
when get home. It sure is swell oyer

.Froin The Free Press Jan, 28, 1906
The Seventh Regiment Iintertned-
iates notched their fourth victory last
night, defeating Clinton at the Prin-
cess Rink by a score of 7 to 4. The
score at half time was 2 to 2, It was,
easily :the best game seen on local ice
this season to judge it from a true
hockey standard. No attempt at
roughness was apparent on the part of
either team, each being content to
measure skill with the other as skat-
ers and 'stick -handlers.
The speed, was ,consequently ter-
rific throughout and it was apparent
chin stiron). the first that the better.
• conditioned`team would be the winners
:and this proved to be correct. Olin -
:ton at the outset set a fast pace, which
they were unable to maintain, and
during the• second, half were worn out.
They stuck to their work, however and
at times'kept the local defence busy.
The Cliatoniforward line is extremely
fast and show considerable combin-
ation. They have been severely hand-
icapped because of the lack of lee
and the consequent loss of practise
but despite this fact they are even
now capable of serious trouble to any
team. Sheppard at centre played a
star game showing up perhaps the
best of any man on the ice. Abram
was a good second.
The London rover played a hard
game, doing his best work of the sea-
son. There were two changes on the
local lineup. Canfield was off sick„
and his place ore the left wing was
taken by Powell, of last year's Hor-
tons. Powell, did much good. work
but was too light foe his check. Ile
showed great willingness, and kept
"digging in." Walter Little took the
place of McLennan, who has been
transferred by his firm to St. Marys,
at cover, point, and played a good
game. Clinton has all excellent goal-
keeperin Johnston. His stops last
taight were it 51 imposs-
ible, But ethe feature of the game
was the work of Referee Muir. Ile is
the. best official seen at a game in
this city inyears, Ile caught all off-
sides and was death on'Geeiang, The
teams had to play ho:ekey, and they
knew it, soon after 11e get started. The
teams lined up as follows:
Clinton - Johnston, goal; Dayment,
pont; McRae, cover; Moore, left wing;
Doherty, right wing; Sheppard, ,celr-
tre;. Forrester, -rover.
London - Reynolds, goal; Cassel -
man, point; Little, cover; Powell, left
wing; Car'rothers, right wing; McMa-
hen cetre; Ahram rover.

imuul need.
During , the month of February
there will be conducted one of the
most intense campaigns on behalf of
War Savings ever attemped in the
Dominion.
Canada wants TWO MILLION sub-
scribers to War Savings Certificates
for a total of $10,000,000 monthly, or
$120.000,000 for 1941, Ontario's
share averages snore than $1.20 per
month for every than, women and
child in the Province.
Providing every conunun1ty, --- ur-
ban and rural, were able to raise its
monthly quota, Clinton's share with
a population approximating 1800
would be about $2100 monthly, or
$25,9'20 for the year. As it will be
difficult for some of the less pros -
Porous, communities, particularly in
the country, to raise their quotas,
those cities, towns and viilages of
more substantial mean will be clml-
lenged to exceed their minimum mon-
thly objective.
Citizens are asked to support the
monthly Bank or Honour Pledge Plan.
Through the fenner they can pledge
themselves to lend to Canada for as-
sistance in the war effort, up to $40
per month or such lesser amounts us
they may be financially capable of
through authority to the Bank to
retake the mouthy deductions. Where
the Dank Deduction Plan is not defillfreds-
-
Tee
sired, the Honour Pledge system of
agreeing to invest so much monthly
in War Savings Certificates can be
followed.
At the close of the last Great War
a famous British diplomat made the
following remark;
"The Great War was won not by
genius of the few, but the faith-
fulness of the maey."
Plan Extensive Canvass
From house to house, factory to
factory, into stores and offices will
go these volunteer workers as the bid
for support of Canadians a, the war-
effort accelerates with tlu. urgency.
Another group will be delegated to
arrange for speeches, public rallies,
parades, advertisements 15 newspap-
er's and appeals by radio and bill-
boards.
In the first great war, a group of
patriotic 01011 in Cincinnati decided
they were going to sell so malty Lib-
erty bonds the statue would forsake
New York harbor for the Ohio river.
Services of the crack salesmen in
the city were obtained and for weeks
the pressure was poured to the people.
The result: Cincinnati had the larg-
est per capita contribution of any
large city in the States.
In one section of the Ohio city.

FUN Willi LOG1-ITBNG
High speed film -candies not too far from the subject -tens set at f/0.3
-and a one-half second time exposure got this perfectly. Be sure to use
a firm camera support for "time" shots.
WE HAVE had a lot of fun at our
Vbouse recently, taking pictures
with unusual types of light and
lighting. Tt all began with our fire-
side shots - using hood bulbs
tucked back in the fireplace to simu-
late firelight.
Prom those fireplace shots -they
were good ones, too -we proceeded
to candlelight and lamplight. For
the shots by candlelight, we used
real candles. Some were in branched
candelabra -which are very attrac-
tive in pictures --and for one series,
we arranged a birthday party with
a cake and small candles. It wasn't
anybody's birthday, really -but a
cake had just been baked for Sun-
day, and we managed to borrow it.
02 course, candlelight is rather
weak -so we used high speed film
and time exposures. By having ser
eral candles, and placing the sub-
jects quite near them (but not too
close for safety) we were able to
make exposures of one-half to one
second at 1/6.3. That would be two
to four seconds with a box camera
-and, don't forget, high speed flim.
Daytime flim is much slower by the
yellow candlelight.
We used two lamps in our lamp'
light pictures. One was a keno,
sena Iamp, with an interesting old-
fashioned design, that we found in
the attic, With that one, we got
good results at the sante exposures
used for candlelight. The other
hone had a chimney and base, like
the oil types, but was wired for an
electric bulb. When ,[inn held the
lamp, she shielded the bulb with
her hand -and we concealed the
electric cord, too -so the results
were quite realistic.
Exposures were shorter for our
electric lamp -but the tlino will al-
ways depend on the wattage of the
bulb, and its distance from the sub -
:feet. That's the point to keep in
mind When you try tlreeo special
shots. The clearer the subject, the
stronger the light. It works the
same way when you use photo
bulbs, Candles one foot from a sb.
ject are four times as efficient as
they would be when two feet from
the subject,
I'm sire you'll want to try some
of these shots. Tho nice point about
them is that you call have the lamp
or candles right in the picture.
Sometimes, possibly, you might
get a reflection spot or "flare spot"
on the film -but we didn't. And
anyway, the shots are so interesting
they're well worth that slight risk.
