The hymn 'Gentle Jesus Meek and Mild," was sung. Two poems were read by Lorna Dale and passing of Mrs, Walter A. Eifert, r Kincardine General hospital, on; Tuesday evening of last week, re moved frorn our midst a dearly be- loved citizen, From a life of earthly activity .she was called to one of higher service by her heavenly Fath- er, in *hem she placed implicit faith, Mabel Hogg was born near Seaforth, a daughter of William E. Hogg and Agnes Grieve, After graduating from Seaforth High School and the Stratford Normal she taught in Mc- Killop, Auburn, Harrington West and Embro. Five years ago she was married to Walter A. Eifert, principal of the Ripley Continuation School, Since that time she has re- sided in Ripley, where she entered into the life of the community in the capacity of a leader and helper. She was ever mindful of the needs of others and no task was too great nor yet too menial, as she endeavored to bring happiness and comfort to those requiring assistance. In St. Andrew's Church, where she was especially ac- tive she organized and led the Ladles (Win -Some) Bible Class, and much of the work she accomplished, and which she thoroughly enjoyed stands as a lasting monument to her memory. As a Red Cross worker she was outstanding and enthusiastic. Many of our lads in the service, now over- seas, greatly appreciated her efforts -to bring them comfort, while she was convener of the committee which sent them boxes of good things regu- larly. The letters of appreciation which she received in return, were highly cherished by her. Prior to her fatal illness she had been elected president of the Ripley unit of the Red Cross Society, which position she would have filled with credit. In the midst of a life of needful activities she was stricken. In the hospital she was given the best of medical and nursing care. Blood transfusions were willingly given by friends, who were anxious that she be restored. In the midst of critical moments of suffering she was anx- ious regarding the needs of others. Her departure leaves a vacancy dif- ficult to fill, but her life of example and usefulness should serve as a stimulus to others, to endeavor to serve as was her great joy. Funeral services were conducted in St. Andrew's Church, Ripley, at 10 a.m. on Friday. The edifice was filled with sorrowing friends. The students of 'the Ripley Continuation School were present in' a body. In their , respectful attitude, they show- ed clearly they had lost a dear Betty Dunlop. A reading, "Rememb- friend.

An impres- Contribution of the Last Great War, sive address was delivered by Rev. referring to poets and writers. The E Beech,whospoke sincere words meeting closed with a hymn and the , benediction, of - eulogy very fitting to such an active Christian life. The remains were borne by Ross H. Martyn, J. R. White, D. M. McArthur, H. R. Kee- ne, 3. Willocks and J. A. McLeod. They were taken by motor to Sea - forth where services were held in the Presbyterian Church and where a large - number of sympathizing friends gathered. Rev. Hugh Jack, Pastor of the church, was assisted by Rev. E: Beech of Ripley and Rev. R. R. Conner of Embro. The last nam- ed officiated at their marriage in Stratford. Interment was made in Maitlandbank cemetery, Seaforth. She leaves a grief, stricken husband, father and mother, and one brother, Leslie, of Preston, to whom the sym- pathy of their friends is extended in their irreparable loss.

Who knows why the leaves are green? And who knows why the showers Come just when they are badly needed By the drooping flowers? Who knows why the streamlets sing? And why the sky is blue? And who knows how the 'flowers are painted Such a gorgeous lure? Who knows why the birdies Are the first to greet the sun? And why the dusk at evening Is the best time for our fun ?

Township passed away on Nov. 5, in —(Varna Scrap Book) the person William Aikenhead, at. • the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Lane,e. He was the son of the late John Aikenhead and Margaret Ross and was bern Feb. 13, 1862, on the farm on which he had always resided.

As you know I am a Serg- eant now which means a lot more military responsibility, and as I was in charge of a party of men on the trip, I said a little prayer to God to give me the strength and courage to lead my men into action, We were all confident, even when hell broke loose and the guys were getting hit. One fellow said to me, "I guess this is 310 scheme we are on this time, Jack.” Never saw one guy go haywire or get panicky, everybody was cool and ready to go. It was a marvellous display of battle discipline, and it made me mighty proud to be a Canadian Eng- ineer, but due to the many different kinds of Engineers it's quite under- standable. You see there are con- struction engineers, tunnelling co.'s, garrison engineers, survey engineers, and then comes the top of the list, a Field Co. A Field Co, is one of the senior combatant units in the whole Army. When you realize that al- though Field Engineers can replace Infantry, Infantry cannot replace En- gineers. To sum it all up, Sappers are first class infantry plus special train- ing, mainly explosives, mines and bridging. No doubt you have read of Major McTavish's death. He died a hero. and we all think he should hive got the "Victoria Cross." Also von will have read of Sgt. Hickson. I sleep in the same tent as he does. He received the D.C.M. He is from Kitchener and his Dad belongs to the Bell Telephone Co. On the evacuation of Dieppe we had quite a time and ended up getting towed back to Eng- land. Frenchy, one of my best pals. was next to me when he got hit. I hear from him and he will soon be back to the Unit. I cannot tell you much of the operation itself ou ac- count of security but will tell you all about it after the war, maybe. We are all keen to go back again. That's what we are here for and trained for, so let us get the bloody job over. so I can get back home again. We are prepare•] to accept casualties so we try to get the most out of life while we have the chance. Lost some very good friends of mine over there, so revenge is sweet. It is funny how a person's mental outlook ou life changes after three years in the Army. They are certainly calling the men up now, but much blood will be shed yet, before final victory Is achieved. A bunch of us Sergeants were sitting around today after din- ner, exchanging snapshots and wish- ing and saying how nice it would be to get back to Canada again. Can you imagine such a conversation among a group of grown up men 7 I enjoy the kids' letters a lot. Say hello to them for me. It is time I would close. it is the longest letter I ':ave ever written.
