And Canada's boundless acres would provide plenty of living room for the Germans and the Japs. But what of the Canadians? The answer is simple when you think what happened and is still happening to the Poles, the Greeks, the Yugo- Slays—and all the others—in terms of slow starvation, slave labor, mass executions. Every time a hard-working Cana- dian man or woman buys a Victory Bond, the plans of Hitler and !Hiro- hito receive a set -back. The more you save and lend -the mole certain you help make it that our enemies shall never put their greedy claws on Canada. SMITH'S SHOE STORE SEAFORTH Compliments of COMMERCIAL HOTEL MRS, F.

DALY DICK HOUSE Phone 171 Seaforth FORD - MERCURY DEALER Seaforth This Advertisement published by Co-operation of above Business Concerns Harry C. Johnston, Blyth — The community was shocked re- •cently to learn that Harry C. John- ston, prominent businessman of the village of Blyth, has passed away in Seaforth hospital alter a brief illness. The previous Sunday he had become suddenly ill and was taken to the hospital, and his condition grew steadily more serious until death claimed him. Although Mr. Johnston hacl not been in his usual good health throughout the summer, his sudden demise was a severe sock to his family, and his many friends. His death at the comparatively early age of 45 years is keenly regretted by all who knew hint. The late Mr. John- ston was born in East Wawanosh, on May 2nd, 1897, a son of William Johnston and Minnie Farrow. When a lad he moved with his parents to Blyth, where he attended Public and Continuation. School, later attending Clinton Collegiate. During the last war he enlisted with the 161st Batta- lion, serving overseas. At the conclu-, sion of the war he returned to Blyth, and established himself in the groc- ery business. In 1922 he removed to Hamilton where he purchased a groc- ery business. In 1924 he' married Ruby Metcalfe, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ross Metcalfe of Wat- erdown. They continued to reside in Hamilton until 1926, when he return- ed to Blyth to take over the hotel business from his, father. He contin- ued to operate the business since then. The late Mr. Johnston was a member of the Blyth United Church, and was .also a member 'of Blyth Lodge A.F. & A.M., No. 303, and Blyth I.0.0.2'. No. 366. Bombers Patrol Far Out to Sea (By Flight Lieutenant T. C. Mc- Call, RCAF.) You don't have to budge off this continent to find a part of it that is at war, grimly, earnestly and on a round-the-clock basis. Find, if you can, this base where a bomber .reconnaissance squadron is stationed and within five minutes of your arrival it will be borne home to you with a pronounced degree of clarity that the war which has al- ready engulfed most of the earth, is already right on the North American doorstep. It is being fought twenty-four hours a day by lads from your own home town. They live in remote out- posts along our coasts, do their jobs quietly and effectively and succeed in helping to maintain the lifelines from the ,New World to the Old. They miss out in the glory that ac- crues to their brothers overseas. There are few communiques about their work. But you'll find morale and spirits as high as anywhere in the world. These chaps know what they're doing—a man-sized job and doing it well, They're hitting Adolf where it hurts him the most, spoiling the carefully laid plans of, the last ten years to destroy Britain and her Empire by cutting her supply routes. This Bomber-Reeonnaissance squa- dron is just one of the Rd al Canad- ian Air Force units engaged in the vital task of searching out sea raid- ers and protecting shipping from the scourge of submarine wolf -packs, Its. planes, huger twin -motored craft, range far out over the North Atlan- tic every day and night. Bad weeni- er, poor ,visibility, extreme icing con- ditions mean little to these lads. *hen the seagulls are thumbing rides the planes of this Squadron are still in the air looking for subs. They find them, too. Security does not permit revelation of details of attacks and the results achieved, but when the record of this war is writt- en, some pages -will be devoted to the exploits of this group. Visit the squadron at their base and you'll be struck very forcibly by one fact. A bomber crew is not a collection of individuals but rather a well-cordinated team. It is in many respects like a football team. The pi- lots are the lads who carry the ball. They get most of the gallery's ap- plause and share in all the spectacu- lar plays, but they are the first to admit that . without the best efforts of the other members of the crew, their own work would be useless. There is "Tail -end Charlie," the wireless operator -air gunner or plain air gunner. He does the blocking for the team, fights off the opposition, outguesses his opponents and is gen- erally indispensable. And there is the air navigator who calls the signals, acts as boss a good part of the time and steps modestly aside when the kudos is being handed around. In a bomber -reconnaissance squad- ron which works hundreds of miles at sea and far from its base, the nav- igator is probably the number one man, if any man in the outfit can be considered more important than the rest. Here is why: In the first place, the aircraft must reach its objective which in this case might be a hundred -square -mile area of ocean over which a "sweep" is to be carried out. This particular region may be three hundred miles off the coast. It is the navigator's job to see that the plane gets there by provid- ing the pilot with a course which will take into account the constantly changing speed and direction of wind. as well as atmospheric conditions which might build up ice on the wings. Assuming that the patrol area is reached without difficulty and. that the "sweep" is carried out, the next task of the navigator is to get the aircraft back to its base safely. A good portion of the tllene's fuel sup- ply has already been used and the chances are that the thanks do not provide for a sightseeing junket to Greenland or Cale Carl. What the navigator has to do is to set a course which will bring the bomber right spang over its home aerodrome. Pro- bably night has fallen in the mean- time and there is a fine drizzle of rain. It is still up to the navigator to find exactly where he is and how to get from there to where he wants to be, quickly and accurately. Between its present position and the base the plane may run through fog or heavy clouds which, under winter conditions will load inches of ice on its wings in a matter of minutes. And a heavily loaded plane will require more fuel. Or, arriving back over the aerodrome the pilot may find that the weather• has closed in—as it frequently does on coast bases—and it is impossible to cone down. So the navigator has to help select an alternative field, perhaps 000 miles away, and provide a course which will get the craft there before its fuel tanks run dry. J.
