Teams have been specially selected to compete against personnel of the Italian and German armies in inter- national events, and at the end of this month (August) British soldier -motor cyclists will be Competing in Ger- many against motor cyclists of the German Army, with Herr Hitler lik- ely to be among the spectators. The British riders are in strict training under the guidance of civil experts like George Rowley, Bert Perrigo and Len Beath. Any one of the team can now hold their own with most civilian "scramble" and trial experts; they can even change a broken fork in 'a few minutes The importance of the mechanise- tion "of" the Army to the British motor ay -de industry cannot be exag- gerated. Practically every unit of the Army now has its motor cycle detachment. The total number - of machines in use is understood to be nearly 22,000 yet had it been sug- gested twelve months ago that the Army would soon have even 10,000 machines, it would not have been be- lieved. British manufacturers are seeing to it that the machines are the very best; industry is leaving nothing to chance.

Miss Nellie Campbell, daughter of Rev. A. C. Campbell, pastor of the St. Marys Baptist Church, died from the effects of a heart attack while bathing at Grand Bend last Thursday. A ten -year-old boy from Dublin wandered from his. home Friday and was at the C. N. R. depot at Strat- ford when noticed by a police officer. The little fellow was scared of the officer and started to run away, but was overtaken. , How he !reached Stratford is a mystery.

ONTARIO FIRE LOSSES COULD BE CUT BY MORE CARE IN AVERAGE HOME Property valued, at more than $1,800,000 was destroyed in 4,179 fires in Ontario in April, May and June of this year - and official stat- istics, released today, show that ap- proximately 24% of the total losses, occurred in dwellings in which much of the loss could lave been avoided, accordingta an announcement by the Canadian Underwriters' Association. Fourteen per cent of the total fires were caused by carelessness in smok- ing which led to destruction of prop- erty amounting to $235,890, by far the largest individual cause of the loss exceeding. $1,800,000. In the Second three -months ea the year the number o£ fires intaeased by 499 with an increase in loss of $261,824 over th e coxreaponding quarter of 1938; while for the -first half' of 1939 there were 482 more fires than in the first half of 1938, although total logs figures showed a reduction. "The number of losses," according to the Canada'ae 'Underwriters' As- sociation, "can easily be seduced by more care on the part of the individ- ual householder. The `Board' comp- anies are constantly utilizing all their services to help reduce losses with the idea of reducing insurance costs, but, in the final analysis, citizens have the remedylargely in their own hands because the figures prove be- yond doubt that .most of the fires are attributable to 'causes 'which can be largely eliminated by. a little extra personal attention to the question of safety in the home." osably satisfactory. Comments the Mechanical Expert: "It is a very good idea., From tests I have made at different stopping distances, . it is proven correct" For the firsttime in 140 years New Zealand has experienced a general snow fall. We who live in Canada and who are thoroughly acquainted with fierce snow storms, can hardly appreciate the surprise and delight of the New Zealanders. An unusual record for civil service can be claimed by Dawn and Camden townships, both able to boast of hav- ing township clerks still on duty whose combined years of service total More than a century. Bakers in Huron County are be- coming thoroughly aroused over the inroads made into their business by bakers from outside towns who are peddling products. Clinton bakers raised' a protest a ,short time ago and Mitchell bakers have also petitioned their council to do something about the matter. THE BAPTIST CIIUIWCII Rev. • A. E.

But "well -Jed" does not mean over fed: Good feeding calls for a balanced ration of grains and proteins. Grain, by itself, is not sufficient to develop and bring your hogs to market requirements economically. Proteins of animal origin, such as skim milk and tankage, are of equal importance.
