OK N X — WINGHAM For Sale at All Grocery and Hardware Stores Major Nairn Returns to Goderich After Commanding Elgins in Italy Just as long as one can see or hear the robot bomb he may rest easy with a feeling of security 'from being killed or injured; but once the robot's lights cease to shine and the engine stops buzzing anything is apt to happen, so iook out below'. Thus spoke Major D.„ R. Nairn, E,D., just home on leave from England and Italy, And Major Nairn should know, for It was less than three weeks ago that a robot exploded only fifty" yards from the building, the Elgin's Regiment's mess, hi which he was at the time, along with ether officers. The building, a temporary one, cop- lapsed from the shock of the explo- sion, but no one was injured beyond. a few bruises and scratches. The bomb landed on open ground, The Major estimates the robots travel from three to five miles after 11011 engine cuts out and that there is a lapse of thirty seconds between that and the explosion, Naturally people are losing sleep, he says, but • the English are long since hardened to that and the robots are not getting them down or affecting their morale in the slightest degree. When Major Nairn went active over four years, ago to join the Elgins, ho took about 220 men of the Middlesex -Hurons with hien and about ninety per cent of these are still with the unit, the 25th Armored Delivery Regiment (E. 11•), which he took to Algiers and later to Italy last December to join the famous Eighth Army. The Eights' job is to deliver the armored equip- ment up the line and to keep it bit tleworthy, Just before the drive on Roine the Elgins were transferred front the east to .the west coast of Italy in a `secret trove". and partici- pated in the march . on the Eternal City, Goderich's former town solicitor talks intimately of his men, with whorl he is very popular. Most of them cone from Goderich and sm- rounding townships,. Clinton, Sea - forth, Exeter, and from Strathroy and other parts of Middlesex county. Ile spoke of Capt. Duman,,. Duman, acting 0.0., whose father. operates a shoe factory in Seaforth, Lieuut. A. B. Sturdy, former C.N.R. express agent, in Goclevicli, Ken Suck, C. E. 'Gliddon,. Art McMichael, Bert Mohriug•, Benny, Shear(own, Johnny McGraw, "Duck- y" Duckworth I.I. R. Thompson, Tom Wilson, Benny Million and many oth- ers. Licht Sturdy is now second in commend of Ole unit. After so long a period of training, the Eights are glad to be in action' Major Nairn says, They are on top of the world, glad to be fighting. They think that victory is "in the bag," but they are not slackening their ef- forts. Their chief concern is what Is going to become of them after they return to Canada. Their mail and parcels -came through to Italy In good shape. A letter frau hone giving them the news about people and of what is going on is still the best gift a soldier can receive–He can't get too many of them. The winter of 1943-44 was a cold one in Italy, with mud the worst fea- ture, It was further related, The Ital- ian people, with few exceptions, did not get unduly excited over the ar- rival of the Allies. To many it was just another invading army. But they liked the "Amgot" paper money, guaranteed by the United States and British Governments, Major Nairn carried a few five and one -hundred lite notes, redeemable after the wan. To some 'Italians difference between Germ EMS and Canadians in Italy is that Canadians pay for what they get—as much as 26 cents an egg— wherea.s the Huns stole everything in sight., The Major says ice Cream made of goat's milk was a real treat and that Italian wine isn't too bad,. but that the Germans carried away the better brands. Major Nairn 1s on thirty -day leave, but whether or not he returns to a combat theatre depends entirely on. the medical board of his military dis- trict, Just now he is enjoying awell- earned rest with, his wife, the former Margaret Watson, and his mother. He spent three weeks in hospital in Italy and three weeks in England. While in Italy •he saw Mount Vesuvius in eruption and visited Po'peii, Naples, and Rome. His unit had its head- quarters near Ortnua, the scene of 0 much heavy fighting in which the Canadians were engaged last Christ- m"as season, .Early in the war be was sent to Engiand to take a special off- ficer's course, return to Canada to., train his regiment, of which he was for a time acting 0.0., and eventual= ly to take his men overseas.—Goder- ich Signal -Star.

"Mind Reading Is The Bunk" It's just "old-fashioned hocus-pocus .magical mumbo -Jumbo", scoffs Richard Himber, noted orchestra lead- er and amateur magician. Read his series exposing the tricks of mind readers, starting in The American Weekly with this Sunday's (July 23) issue of The Detroit Sunday Times. There are upwards of 180,000 more Bell tele- phones in service today than when the war began. NOW' WE ARE "SCRAPING THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL" In spite of the most careful use of available supplies, we have had to use up most of the `margins' built into telephone plant. We are working facilities at maximum capacity. Telephone' sets, switching equipment for central offices, and other parts of telephone plant cannot be obtained for civilian use because telephone material is still going to war. We regret that to the many applicants for residence tele- phones who are still waiting, as well as those who want telephones and have not even applied, we must say: "Sorry, but we must rigidly conserve remaining supplies of tele- phones and materials. We can install telephones for only the most essential service." So long as the needs of war have first claim, we shall have to keep on doing the best we can with the equipment obtainable. Meanwhile, we say "Thank You" for your cordial under- standing of our position. Olattf a' fr8 H. H. P. JOHNSTON Menaser, •y:'ge•"3 ' sCs•:;: ,S yam' 1 . :.: r :..., • NPA
