Will Be Dismantled
The Canadian National Rahway is
exercising the permission granted by
the Board of Transport Commission
and is closing the line from Clinton
Junction to \\ringham Junction on
April 27th. This will mean the
complete abandonment of this sec-
tion of track which has served this
district since 1876.
Belgrave will be without the ser-
vices of a railway at their door, and
r
will have to use \\ ingham Brussels
or Blyth for railway shipping points.
The closing of this line may be the
signal for some of the munleipallties
effected to start legal proceedings as
they have agreements with the rail-
way. Hullett has a clause in their
contract which calls for the return
of the $25,000 they invested in tate
railway, plus interest dating from
the time the agreement was insti-
tuted. Other townships have agree-
ments for continuous service but
they do not contain the sante clause
as does the Hnllelt agreement.

Warns That Liberty
Depends on Fight
Padre Tells How British Battle
For The Freedom Of The
World
'Britain today is a land of heroes,
most of whom are not in uniform,"
Squadron Leader .A. Hooper, padre at
the R.A.F. Navigation School at Port
Albert, told a large audience which
filled First Presbyterian Church, Sea -
forth, on Sunday aftereoon. The rally
was held under the auspices of the
Huron county war services campaign
which is now in progress.
'The speaker told of the magnificent
work which the 'auxiliary services are
doing in defending London and !Bri-
tain. The firemen, the 'A.R.P. work-
ers, the amibulance drivers. the police,
all are unsung heroes, he said.
One tiling eha•t had made its im-
pression on him since coming to Can-
ada was the difference in life here as
compared to Great Britain, In Bri-
tain the people are driving Cal the brink
of the mad 'house of the ,conntinent o,f
Europe where the enslavement of
free and innocent people is the means
to an end' for the glorification of the
Nazi party.
Britain today stands as the last !bul-
wark ,of (Christiaeity, of civilization,
the east defender of all things held
dear by a free people.
'Do you not thrill with pride at
this .amazing -fght which your fellow
15ritish citizens are [putting up?"
Squadron Leader Hooper asked.
"And yet 'there are still a ,few who
think that the 'fight is not their fight.
It is incredible thatthere are today
men and women who do not realize
that ,their personal liberty, 'freedom
of body, speech and worship is dep-
ending epee the result of the fight
Which is being put dip in that little
island," he ,continued.
The rally was preceded by a parade
which appeared m•emlbers of the
branches of the Canadian Legion and
companies of the Middlesex and
Heroin Regiment of Seafortle and Go-
derich, odic ,Hussars of !Exeter and the
97th !.Battery. of ,Wtih'gham, Three
