' 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 here, no .snow, Don't worry I'll be seeing you. Mrs. F.

With Puck and Stick .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. 'Presbyterian Annual Business Meeting The annual meeting of the Presby- terian congregation was held in the church on Monday evening. Dr. J. W. Shaw was appointed chairman of the meeting and Ed, McLeod editing secretary. The departmental reports, were all indicative of substantial progress. The congregation was without the services of a regular minister for more than six months and was served by students and by ministers who might transfer to this charge.) The present minister, Rev. B.

Government 'Asks 120 Mil- lion in War Bond Drive Volunteer Workers Wi11 Canvass Of- fices, Factories, Homes, Seeking $5 Monthly Pledges Frani 'Little Man' -Ontario's Objective is $4,680,00b a Month. How big is the "little" man? This question of size will be an'- swered in Canada by the end of Feb- ruary, for on hien will depend the suc- cess of a new nation-wide war savings, drive, to start within three weeks. During the month campaign, an army of, volunteer workers will seek 2,000,000 "little" men who are big enough to pledge a $5 monthly pur- chase in war saving certificates Multiplication of these mere and $5 pledges sets the goal at $10,000,000. And .$10.000,000 per month means $120,000,000 in 1941. That's the min - BACK TO - For return personal appearance broadcast Three months ago the first "BARN DANCE," broadcast from Clinton broken all attendance rec- ords.

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. Price Hill, only one man in 100,00 didn't buy on the first bond issue (Continued on lingo 7) ?SFS GU 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. 310 John van Guilder
