The St. Marys Journal -Argus of
December. 17th, tells an interesting
story of, the address given by Mr. J.
C. Bell, a well known Seaforth Old
BOY, and son of .Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
Bell, of town, before the St. Marys.
Rotarians on Monday of last week:.
"The story of a remarkable adven-
ture, . told in a quiet, modest way,
thrilled the Rotarians at their weekly
meeting Monday at the Royal, Edward
Hotel. The speaker was John C.
our townsman who came to St. Marys
a few months ago when he purchased
the Dunseitb. & Son coal business.
Mr. Bell, as stated by Harold, Chan-
nell, the speaker's introducer, is a
native of Seaforth,' Ont., where he
spent his boyhood years. Then _after
completing his studies in Engineer-
ing at the Univeraity ,of Toronto,,,,he
joined. the Colgate-Palmolive organila-
ton. For a time lit, Was located in
the United States7"---afid—in Mexico,
then for three years he represented
his firm in Australia, and latterly for
six years , in Europe. 'Said his smil-
ing introducer: "John was sent by
the big soap firm to clean up Europe,
but how well he succeeded, you may
31444e.,by.,,eonditionk over there now."
The ' aipeiikerixplained--thit shortir
after the 'outbreak of the war, he Was
called home= from Europe by his firm.
But when, the. French had settled
down all. winter behind the Maginot
Line, and there was talk of a "phoney
war" they insisted' on him going back
to. open a new branch in another coun-
try., And he found himself a passen-
ger on the ,steareship 'Washington'
bound for an Italian port. Many of
thotie on board were Germans,, Ital-
ians, Belgians, rich diamond merch-
ants, from Amsterdamete. Before,
landing, they got , word. that Hitler
.had . invaded Belgium and Holland.
Within two or three days many pas-
sengers who had been rich, 'realized
that they were penniless,) with no
,plaoeto go. Mr. Bell tried, to get off
at Gibraltar, to fly to England, but.
nobody was permitted to disembark
except a secret service man.,
Sailing into the great port ,of
'Naples, he saw the Italian naval fleet
ready for action. :-Tbe next day at
Genoa he saw from the hotel window
five hundred. Italian students demon-
strating against the British. This city
was to be a beautiful target later for
the British fleet. The next day at 3
p.in. he got a train'. for •France. At
