* Yes, all Canada's great resources
her minerals, her wheat
fields, her forests, her factories .
could be put to wonderful use by the
ruthless bully -boys from Germany,
by the polite little savages from
Japan.
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.

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.
