Plane Startles Horses- Palnterston's proximity to Cantil Borden has apparently made it a swell town for bombing practice, and is theoretically" blown off the map most every afternoon. The bombers swoop low over the town, and the full throated song of power from their raving exhausts is enough to startle the most docile horse. There have been some badly startled ones, but the first damage done to date to our knowledge came on Tuesday after- noon. A team was proceeding down Main Street, when a plane apparently with orders to render the C.N.R. de- pot unfit for human habitation. swooped low over the streets. The noise Was ear -shattering, and too much. for the peace-la)ing horses. They bolted over the sidewalk and across the lawn at the United Church parsonage. The tongue of the wagon wag broken and some of the harness parts were damaged. -Palmerston Oh. server. War Order for Fir Tent -Poles- When Canadian. troops go under canvas in a few weeks' time their tents nmy perhaps be supported by tent poles made in St. Marys by Max wells Ltd.

The production of the poles- is re. Oiling the attention of many vee. tione of the factory sirup the couple• Mon of the work involves not only the turning out of -month straight poles. but the fitting of pine and furls TO itt - , nd . Altogether side poles centre poles. end poles' :s and ridge poles are being p;odlte•ed so that the contract ir,rolves a gcod deal more thought and attention than would ar first be suggested. Douglas fir from Bluish Columbia is brine used ex elusively for material. -St. Marys Journal-Argus Late Conrad Truemner- The community was shocked on Sunday morning to learn of the very sudden passing of Mr. Conrad Truemner of the 14th concession, Hay Township. The departing from this life took place while the deceas- ed and his son Hilton were grooming the horses iu the morning, and as they were going about their work and chatting. Hilton noticed that the horse that his father was grooming sprang back in its stall, and he immediately went over and his father was lying helpless on the floor, and after re- moving the horse assistance was at once called and the almost lifeless body carried to the house where life soon had fled away. Mr. Truentner who had reached the age of 77 years. was born on the homestead. on the FOR SALE Goshen line south of Zurich. till the family moved to the 14th con. Hay.
