From Red Cross
Sgt. Stirling Habkirk Tells of
Life in the German Prison
Camp
The following letter was received
by Mrs, Thos. Habkirk from her son,
Serge, G. Stirling Habkirk, of the
RAF, Who has been a prisoner of
war in Germany.
Germany, November 78h, 1942,
Dear Mother: I am still in the
same camp and feeling pretty goad.
I am getting used to the scant ra-
tions now. I guess my stomach has
shrunk. Winter is setting in now, and
it is quite cold and damp, but don't
worry, the other boys and the Red
Cross have fixed me 'up pretty good
as to clothes and food. T don't know
what we world do without the Red
Gross,
I sometimes feel bad about losing
all my things in 'England, but I am
alive and well and that's the main
thing. I am quite happy and feel
quite confident that the war will soon
be over. I am taking classes now and
studying German so my time is not
entirely wasted.
Please get Vnele eNorman to send
me lots of parcels and a good idea
would be to send me a small case
with a few clothes and lots of choco-
late and a pipe in it.
Wish everyone a Merry Xmas for
me and 'ouy yourself a real good
present out 'of my money and get
the rest of the family something too.
Sorry I can't be there but will for
the next Xmas. Be sure and let me
know how much money l have.
1 hope to 'get your first letter
about Xmas, until then take good
care of yourself and pray for the end •
of this war. Oh! for a nice big
pumpkin pie. Tell the boys to write
often and give me the news. Love,
STIRLING

LOSES ALL BELONGINGS
FOR SECOND TIME
Friends of Wesley Hoggart, of the
Canadian Navy, are beginning to
think he is lucky indeed. According
to word received by his parents, Mr.
and Mrs, Chas, Hoggart, of Hullett,
for the second time recently he has
lost all his belongings, but he him-
self escaped unscathed both times.
The tirst time was in the disastrous
fire at the Newfoundland army hostel
several weeks ago, when 100 persons
lost their lives, Wesley had fortunate-
ly stepped out of the building just
before the fire started, but all his
belongings were burned. Now his
parents have another letter from
him, which had been censored, and
does not tell what happened, but he
has again lost everything and two of
his friends are in hospital, but Wes-
ley is safe,

History Of The
Village of Kipper!
Post Office Named after Parish
in Scotland. A History
Written by T. N, Forsyth
The following historical_ review
was compiled by Mr. T. N. Forsyth,
of Kippen, and given at a recent
meeting of the Kippers East Wo-
men's Institute.
Geographically, this village is lo-
cated where the Townships of Hay,
Stanley and Tuckersmith converge,
a portion of each of these townships
being included within its boundaries.
It is on No. 4 highway almost mid -
Way between London and Wingham.
That portion of the village in Hay
Township is part of the farm of
Robert Doig. The part of the village
in Stanley Township is part of the
farm of James Anderson, while that
part located in Tuckersmithis on
parts 'of the farms of William Coop-
er and John McLean, all adjacent
pioneer farmers of the district,
'Records show that the earliest
Kippen families, the Bells, the Coop-
ers, the Doigs and the McLeans,
came to this district as early as 1836
to 1840.
The following account of how the
village of Kippen gots its name is
copied from The New Historical
Atlas of Huron County, Ontario,
compiled by Belden & Go. in 1879,
we, quote:
"When Lord Elgin and the Post
Master General paid a visit. to Lon-
don many years ago, Robert Bell of
Tuckersmith, obtained an interview
with the latter, and requested the
opening of a Post Office at the place.
The Postmaster General invited Mr.
Bell to name•the office when he sug-
