Gamble,, reeve of Howick township, died at his home from in- juries received in a fall which occurr- ed on Thursday morning while he was cleaning out the eavetrough of his barn. No one was with him whbn the accident happened, but owing to the fact that the ladder on which he was standing was not broken, but had broken the hydro wires, it is supposed he slipped on the ladder. He never regained consciousness, He leaves his wife and two daugh- ters, (Vera) Mrs, Albert Heibein and (Janet) Mrs. Cecil Grainger. One son predeceased him some years ago.

To the Seaforth News: For the last two or three Years I have been seriously thinking of a plan to get the aged together for so- cial enjoyment and to pass away some of their time during the long winter days, weeks and months, 00 as to break the monotony, of sitting around all the time, doing nothing and no place to go. No other person taking the initiative, I ooneluded, fin- ally, to make an effort to organize an aged man's Clubby inserting an ad in our local paper calling a meeting of all men in. the town and vicinity who were 70 years of age and over, The response was a gathering of twenty of these veterans at the meet- ing and phone calls from several ethers statingthat they were unable to be with us that day, but they were with us in spirit. This group decided to organize under e t he• name of "70 and over Club" and that an Execut- lve Committee consisting of a Presi- dent, a First and Second Vice -Presi- dent and a Secretary -Treasurer be elected forthwith. This was done and I happened to be their unanimous choice, for their President. The town granted the Club the free use of their town hall for the first and third Monday of each month. This will be a god -send to these veterans who will now have someplace to go and spend at least two afternoons each month. The oldest veteran in attendance will be 85 on the 18th day of October, and the youngest has just passed his 70th birthday on the 24th of August. The combined ages of the twenty veterans is 1514 years or an average of 76.28 years. I expect a membership of some where between 50 and 100 as soon as they find out the object ,of the Club. And let us hope that this will be an incentive to others to organize such a Club in their respective districts and help to make these veterans as happy as ;possible during their advanced years. I am a great lover of Youth and Old Age, and nothing 3s too good for the latter. God Bless Them. WM. MURRAY, I With the R.C,A.F. Overseas Written by Waiter It, Legge, in collaboration with C. .V: Charters, 1e- e1r'esentatives of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association on trip to Great Britain, After a week with various activi- ties of the Canadian Army in Eng- land, we started to see what the Royal Canadian Air, Force is doing. On Saturday, September 5, we were. received by Air Marshal FL E. Edwards, Air Officer Commanding in Chief, RCAF (Overseas) at an in- formal press conference at which he freely answered all the questions put to him 'by the Canadian, editors. The Air Marshal made it clear that he fully favors Canadianizatiou of the RCAF and that those who are 1n opposition to do this do net fully understand What is meant. Canadian- ization of the RCAF overseas does not mean ,that it will cease to co- operate with the rest of the RCAF, any more than some famous regi- ments would operate independently of the rest of the army. "The very root of high morale finds itself in identityee declared the Air Marshal.. He expressed himself as well sat- isfied with the standard and training • of the men coming over from Canada, and summed it up in the words "Our Air Force is superb." At another time, he said "This war will be won in the air, It is the only way it can be won. Not without the Almy and the Navy, but definitely in the air." After such an interview, we were more anxious than ever to study the work of the RCAF at first hand. The first squadron which we visited was the one commanded by Squadron Leader Keith Hodson, DFC., of Lon- don, Ontario. One of the interesting things to be seen at this station is a remarkably fine scrap book contain- ing photos and clippings of all mat- ters which have taken place at this station. It is an excellent idea and very well carried out... At this station we chatted with Flight Sgt. C. H. J. Fisher, of Wad- ena, Sask., who spoke of the pleasure lie gets from his home town weekly which he has been receiving all 1 through the two years he has been overseas. a Another member of this station with whom we conversed was Flight Sgt. J. W. Cantelon, of Ridge- tpwn, Ontario. A fine show of forma- tion flying and manoeuvres was wit- nessed by the editors during the aft- ernoon. • On Monday, going to a more dist- ant station, the visiting editors were lucky enough to be abble to see the departure and return of a bomber squadron which formed part of a -raid on Duisburg. The same evening -we witnessed a German raid on a neighboring town. The whole even- ing was such a unique experience. that it will be the subject of a sep- arate article. President.

Guests Were present from Stratford, Hamilton, Toronto, Seaforth, Scarboro'Bluffs, Port Ar- thur and Delhi. An Unusual Coincidence.— Call it fate if you want to, but its certainly unusual to have a son rush- ed to the hospital to have his appen- dix removed exactly twenty-five years after the father hashad his appendix out. This is the case in the Nediger family. Billy, son of Coun- cillor and Mrs. J. W. Nediger, Jr., was rushed to the hospital on Sept. 16th, 1942, for an appendicitis oper- ation. Twenty-five years ago, on September 16, 1917, J. W. Nediger, Sr., also a councillor then, and Mrs. Nediger, rushed their son John to the Goderich hospital for an appendicitis operation—Clinon News -Record. Red'er-Schilbe.— The wedding took place in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Zurich, on September 26, when Rev. L. Heim- rich,united in marriage Miss Elsie Nena, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Henry Schilbe and Mr. Jacob Reder of London.

M. Robertson, ot the Dominion Forest Servcie, Ottawa. The owner of a five -acre woodlot in Ontario has so cared for and manag- ed his lot that he has been able to cut 41/s cords from it every year for the past thirty years. This repre- sents a yearly return of $5.40 per acre when the 'price of wood is $6 per cord. If he continues to keep the live -stock out of the lot, and to select the proper trees to be removed, the an- nual cut need never be less than what he has been cutting in the past. The first selection cutting from another lot of fully grown trees yield- ed $40 per acre after paying all costs of making fuelwood, The stand was left in better growing condition than it was before the cutting, and will provide a cord per acre per year as long as the woodlot is properly cared for. In contrast a farmer with a 30 - acre hardwood •woodlot has been sop - plying his fuelwood needs for the past twenty years by cutting only the dead and dying trees, He thought that was all that was necessary to keep his stand in good growing con- ditiou. But because he did not cut any of the mature, living trees, where they were too thick, the stand was always so overstocked that the trees had no room to grow and many of them died each year. A more serious mistake was to allow the sheep and cattle to graze in the lot. As a result, there were no new trees coming in Among those whom we met at the station were Flight Lieut. Cliff Guest, of Barrie and Ottawa, who Immedi- ately asked after Mr. and Mrs. J. A. MooLaren, of the Barrie Examiner, and Pilot Officer Arthur Morlidge, whose father -ie a member of the staff of the Lloydminster Times. There are a number of Montrealers attached to this station. While there, a number of Halifax and Wellington bombers were inspected. The next day we moved on to an- other station where Lancaster bomb- ers are located, and were given an opportunity to climb on board one of them. Some of the largest bombs be- ing used against Germany were seen, to replace the trees that were dying, and the editors also saw a bomber The advice given to this farmer was:.
