The speaker showed .tow iii resources, industry, manpower and contribution a total war effort is now More effect- ively being brought about. He referred to the repudiation in the Canadian Legion's letter of the statement that Canada is unable to return,wage total war because of the return, ante of Quebec. The Legion said that there are no more fervent patriots that the citizens of that great Prole Mee. What is needed, said the speak- er, is a greater effort on the part of the rest of Canada to understand Quebec and to work with that Pro, vince. We must not allow differences of race and language or even of re- ligion to make us suspicious of one another and to be unfairly prejudiced against each other. "Why total war?" The answer of the Legion is that it is necessary for victory. Anything else is unthinkable. We must tlrerefo'e pay the price. Why can we not gladly sacrifice our tea, gas, sugar, de luxe ears, money and gold elides rather than lose all in defeat, We can only win the war by being ready to sacrifice as many men and things as Germany. Much is being said today about a new World Order — and .such an order is essential. This is what we promised in the years 1914-18. Did we live up to our promises? We went back to the old way of doing things, This time we must not fail, indeed labour and returned soldiers will do much to see that we carry our promises into effect.

LAC. Wilfred Raymond Kell, Win- nipeg, in charge of a training plane from No, 9 Servide Flying Training School at Centralia, was killed Sat- urday at noon when This machine crashed on the farm of Roy Gingrich; of the Bronson Line, near Zurich, LAC. Kell was the son of Mr. and Ml's. W. R. Kell, Winnipeg, The plane, which farmers said ap- parently had been in difficulties for some time before it fell, crashed be- tween the Gingrich farm home and barn, and exploded. The body of the airman, pinned in the wreckage of the craft, was burned beyond recog- nition, it was said. Flanges from the burning machine set the barn ablaze resulting in loss of several thousands of dollars as the' season's crops, implements and about 200 chickens were destroyed. "My husband and I heard the roar of a plane just as we were having dinner," related Mrs. Gingrich. "We rushed to the door in time to see the plane hit the ground hard between the barn and the .house as the pilot was apparently attempting a forced landing. Then the plane seemed to bit the side of the barn, though not with much force. Flames burst out immediately, however, setting fire to the plane and the barn." The body was shipped from Lon- don by train Sunday evening to Win- nipeg, where a military funeral was held. Classmates in Course 61 and others of all ranks attended a service -tar the flyer at the Centralia Air School Sunday. Sqdn. Ldr. F. F. Crankshaw, Protestant chaplain at the station, officiated. One report said that Ken's plane was flying in formation with•.another plane, and that the wings ticked. The report was not confirmed. District farmers said that they saw the plane coming down in a tailspin. Thousands of people visited the scene of the crash over the week end. Cars were lined up on the road for a mile.. although all that could be seen were the remnants of the barn and the plane. Souvenir seeTcers were disappointed, as two air force guards kept watch over the plane and over fire fn straw stack which was stiff burning during the night. The two entail children of Mr. and Mrs'. Roy Gingrich suffered severe' shock. They were eating noon dinner in the house when the crash occurred.

I will be thinking of you and hoping the war soon stops. The Germans are o.k. Will write every chance. Love, Sterling." Letter Received by Mrs. Habklrk From Son's Commander. No. 10G Squadron, Royal Aix Force, England. 24th September, 1942. "Dear Mrs, Habkirk,—I ani writ- ing to express my sympathy in the anxiety and suspense which must be yours upon receipt of the news that your Son is missing on operations. "He was the Air Bomber of an aircraft which left here on an opera- tional sortie in the Baltic on the night 18 -19th, September, 1942. No messages were received from the air- craft after leaving here, and I regret that it did not return. There is ab- solutely no knowledge of what hap- pened, but it is possible, of course, that the aircraft made a forced -land- ing, or that the crew baled out, and that, although prisoners of war, they are safe. We all hope that this is in- deed the case. During the weeks your Son had served with my Squadron, he had taken part in eight raids on enemy territory, carrying out his difficult and dangerous duties always with :skill and courage. His coolness and accuracy under enemy fire was ex- emplary, and materially contributed to the success of his crew. I am most sorry to have lost him. I am enclosing a list of the names and addresses of the next-of-kin of the remainder of the crew, as I think perhaps, you niay care to write to them. "Personal effects will be forwarded as soon as possible to the Central Depository, by whom they cannot be released until certain formalities have been complied with..
