The campaign is now about half completed. Progress has been Slow for the canvassers in the rural districts; but with improved roads it is hoped the fund will continue to grow. The objective is $6,225. Just one phase of Red Cross work is sending parcels to prisoners of war in Germany. A letter dated Jan. 5th, recently received by Mrs. Habkirk from her son, Sgt. Sterling Habkirk, prisoner of war in Germ- any, expresses appreciation for a parcel received at Christmas from the Red Cross. Writing of life as a prisoner of war in Germany, Gunner N. H. Goold gives a graphic glimpse of th anted, for more and more food parcels to keep hope alive in the hearts of the boys behind barbed wire. "Existence as a prisoner of war canperhaps be likened to a vacuum," says Gunner Goold. "One has a past and a future, but one's usefulness as a member of society is for the pre- sent - nil, It is the nature of a pris- oner's activity during his captivity that will decide his future usefulness to himself and his fellow -men. In- evitably many reminiscences are shared of happy occasions in the past, but it is the discussions and thoughts of aims and ambitious for the future that do and will carry weight. "1 have been a prisoner of war now for nearly two years;" continues Gun- ner Goold. "Before the war I had a comfortable and congenial position as county representative for an insur- ance company. The threat of war prompted me to join the county Yeo- manry Regiment, and the actuality of war found me in France within a month of its inception. Later, in 1940, therefollowed three hurricane weeks of action, terminating in "gefangen- Centinued en Ynte Fear *'blue coat' • - lar SOLID FULL i11R SOLID COMFORT E. L.

By Flood at Bayfield River Break -Up Causes Heavy WeeLossesk For Fishermen This One fishing boat was swept into Lake Huron and thousands of dollars damage done to other fish boats and fishermen's nets and equipment as the Bayfield River went on a rampage late Tuesday afternoon and swept through the harbor area at Bayfield, in its spring freshet. Water rose five feet into the fish houses, and when it subsided, left undetermined damage to half a dozen boats pulled up along the docks into winter quarters. A fiat -bottomed fish boat, owned by Fred Telford, was carried into the lake, and doubt was expressed if it would be salvaged. Mr. Telford's se- cond boat was jammed by the ice against his fish shanty, and its win- ter slip damaged, Tom Brothers' boat had the rudder torn of, and Edward Sturgeon's craft was crushed. Full extent of the damage will not be determined until the ice is cleared from around the boats. The river water rose rapidly as the break-up came about 5 p.m. Tuesday. Water carried huge cakes of ice over the piers, and left a four -foot depth over the wharves and around the fish houses. A. hydro pole on the 'fisher- men's dock was snapped off, and wires fell, leaving the area in dark- ness, A heavy. fog shrouded the dis- trict and concealed the full damage. A large section of the harbor area was flooded briefly, and a rock gar- den at the bridge head was left filled with large cakes of ice. Perhaps the heaviest damage was done in the fish houses, where old and many new nets were filled with. ytubbish and dirt. Louis McLeod, vet- bran Bayfield fisherman, said it would take at least two weeks to re- pair damage and clear up the disord- ered fish houses. No estimate could be obtained of the full damage to fishing craft, but it is expected to run into several tho- usand dollars. At Egmondville on Tuesday the Bayfield river was very high, but no. damage was reported. NORTHSIDE W. M. S. HOLD MARCH MEETING The March meeting of the W. M.S. of Northside United Church was held in the Sunday School room on Thurs- day afternoon. The President opened the meeting with hymn 308, and prayer. The min- utes were read and approved.

Somerville was followed with a Bible reading, 1 Cor. 13, by Mrs. Consitt. Hymn 174 was sung in memory of a departed member, Mrs. A. Dodds. Silent prayer was offered for the sick and shut-in. Prayer by Mrs. Finlay- son and the Lord's prayer in unison. The topic was community neigh- borliness. A paper was read by Mrs. I. Hudson. A questionaire was led by Mrs. Hay, "Opportdnities in dark days," The offering .was received. Mrs. Hay led in prayer and: the meet- ing closed with Hymn 385 and prayer. MY CHURCH 7t Before I was born my church gave to my parents ideals .of life and love that made my home a place of strength and beauty. My church 'en- riched my childhood with romance and religion and lessons of life that have woven into the texture of my soul. Sometimes I seem to have for- gotten, and then, when.I might have surrendered to foolish and futile ideals of life, the truths my church taught became radiant, insistent, and inescapable. In the stress and storm of adoles- cence my church heard the surge of my soul and guided my footsteps by lifting my eyes toward the stars, When my heart was seemed with sorrow •and I thought the sten could lever shine again, my church drew Ise to the Friend of all the weary and whispered to me the hope of another' naming, eternal, and tearless. When my steps nave slipped and I' I known the bitterness of, sin, my church has believed, in me and woo- ngly she has called me back to live vithin the heights of myself. My Church calls the to her heart. She asks my service and my loyalty, She has a right to ask it. I will help her to do for others what she has done for me, in this place in which live, I will help her keep aflame and loft the torch of a.' living faith. `,1 HIGHWAYS OPEN While the Provincial Highway through Seaforth has been open and in excellent condition, the county roads north and south of Seaforth were blocked for more than a week until Wilson Allan's plow from He sail opened the Kippen road late Monday afternoon, and the road to Brussels was plowed out on Tuesday night.

They are meant to be held, not cashed. Canada promised that it would cash the certificates under cer- tain circumstances, but this was done to avoid hardship in special circum- stances, not because cashing a certi- ficate before maturity was anything but bad for the owner and bad for Canada. That promise will he kept of course, as Dominion of Canada fin- ancial obligations have always been kept. But too many thoughtless owners of War Savings Certificates are ask- ing Canada to give them back their cash now—without any good reason except that they want to spend the money and at a time when the mon- ey is badly needed to fight. Every person who buys a certificate does a patriotic action, and at the same time gets himself a good investment and a cushion against postwar hard times. Every person who cashes in a certificate unnecessarily, does an un- patriotic action, cheats himself of part of its value, and weakens the shock absorber which may save him from nasty post-war bumps. The certificate for which you pay $4.00 now is worth 55 if you keep it to maturity. If you cash it in after six months you only get 54 for it. Net loss 51. And actually you lose more than that, because by spending your 54 at present high prices you get less value per dollar than you will when prices are back to normal. St. Andrew's cross.
