Let us start this new era right. There are thousands of soldiers returning ,from over- seas. The Government is doing all in its power to get these men back to civil life. It is . giving a War Service Gratuity—more than any other nation—to keep the soldier going till he gets a job. It 'gives him a pension—where his usefulness is impaired - by his service. It teaches a man a-. new trade when his service unfits him for his former trade. It gives him free medical treatment when ill- ness recurs, and supplies free artificial limbs and surgical appliances. It is bringing back to Canada at the public expense the soldiers' dependents now overseas. But the Government, how ever willing, cannot provide the personal touch needed in this work of repatriation. That must be given by the people themselves. The men who went from these parts to fight in Fland- ° ,.ers deserve a real welcome home—the best we can give. In most towns committees of citizens have already been organized to meet the soldiers and their dependents at the station, to provide hot meals, supply automobiles, afford temporary accommodation when necessary. In addition, many other towns are organizing social gatherings to give public wel- come to returned men after they have been home a few days. After he has rested, the soldier must be provided with an opportunity for employ- ment. In towns of 10,000 population, Public Employ- ment Offices have been estab- lished to help soldiers, as well as war -workers, secure good jobs quickly. Where these exist, citizens should co-oper- ate. Where they do not exist, the citizens themselves should help put the soldier in touch with employment. �f* * The fighting job is done. It has cost many a heart -burn- ' ing. But it has been well done. The least we can do is to show our appreciation in no uncertain manner. Don't let the welcome die away with the cheel5s. The Repatriation Committee OTI."AWA liehnore 11Irs 8 Jackson of Bluevaie, spent a few days with her parents, Mr, and Mrs. W. 'twin. - Mr Jae. Austin is visiting his sister* in North Toronto. An eltcellent concert in the form of, a contest between the young people of Bruce and 1luron was given in the hall ,on Friday evening both sides put on a good programme, the 'judge's decision **a in favor of the 14uronitei. Mr. Otto photo brought home three fine hordes from "Toronto last week. Mrs. Richard McDaniel of Teeswater, visited at the home of Mr Fleming l3allagh, Sr. Mr.'W B. Edwards intends moving to hla new farm on the 17th of Howiek tide week Mr. Chas Nickle held an auction male of farm mock and implements on Thurs- day Iasi, Mr Nickle had a fine class of stock which *old for a good figure, he intends moving to Belmore into the house vacated by Mr. Ildwerde. LTriation the total eeore of the war in the air has not yet been made up, an intel- ligent idea of its magnitude is found in the figures compiled for the first four years of the conflict by Laurence La Tourette Driggs WA - printed in his "Heroes of Aviation." That the collection by laymen of offi- cial data about sky battles was cult became evident early in the war. The Frenoh, who would not publish their army casualties, gave out the records of their aces. The British, who regularly issued casualty totals, bad little to make public about the exploits of their airmen. Even now, when Mr. Driggs is able to give the records of the British aces, the total number of German aircraft brought down by all Britons can only be guessed at, but the guess must be a big one, for on the work of acee— men who had five or more kills -- the British easily lead the Allies, says the New York Sun, and it might be added that Frank Simonds, the Tribune's expert, is of the same opinion. Here are the number of vic- tories won by the aces of each nation and the number of men who did the trick: Victories. Aces. Britain 1 629 • 111 F}'ance 847 77 Italy . 193 14. United States 121 14 Belgium . 77 / 8 Russia 28 8 Totals . 2 895 227 The score of the aces who flew for the Central Powers is, of course, based on German claims. It was pointed out frequently during the war that while a French aviator re- ceived credit only for victories 'ac- complished within the sight of an otflcial observer, the German airmen made up their own scores. Here, however, is what Mr. Driggs sets down for the Gelrmans and Aus- trians: Victories. Aces. Central Powers 2,108 101 Were the Germany flier%, with an average of twenty victories for each ace, better trained or equipped than the Allies? Berlin was notoriously liberal with credits to its airmen, The British were careful in check- ing. The French, were what might be called stingy; almost 'every French ace brought down within the German lines and beyod the view of his observer from 40 to 100 per cent. more German aircraft than ap- peared in the citations. As for the appearance of German superiority over the British in the cloud Mr. Driggs says; "It was not until I visit- ed England in 1918 as the guest of the British Government that I dis- t'overed that twenty British airmen have exceeded by more than 100 the number of victories claimed by the best twenty aces of the Huns. The five leaders in the Royal Air. Force at the time the book was writ- ten were these, with the number of their victories: Major Raymond Collishaw...,.. 77 Col. William A. Bishop....... 72 Major E. Mannock 71 Capt. Jas. McCudden (killed) 58 Capt. P. F. Fullard 48 The Me leaders of the French air- men were as follows: Lieut. Rene Fonck Capt. G. Guynemer (killed) Lieut. C. Nungesser Lieut. G.

The first hour was spent in social Inter- course and many were the greetings amongst old time friends and it was a pleasure to see such old stalwarts from the county as Dr. and Mrs, Sloan former- ly of Blyth, Dr. and Mrs. Graham form- erly of Brussels, Mr. Silas Davis formerly of Clinton, Mts. Thomas formerly of Goderich and Mrs, AlexSaunders of Goderi:.h. The presence of such staunch old Huronites was certainly inspiring to the younger members of the Association, At nine o'clock progressive Euchre was commenced. Thirty tables were required to accommodate the euchre players, while many others played "Flinch" and other games. Robert Holmes Ex M. P. super- vised the "Flinch" game and he certainly had some contract to keep T. S. Tremaine from flinching. The following were the prize -winners: Gentlemen. 1st, J. Dawson, 2nd, 3, H. McHardy: Ladies lst., Mrs, Arlington, 2nd., Mrs. Brickenden. I fAt eleven o'clock refreshments were served, and the ladies in charge, Mes- dames Beck, Floody, Martin, Holmes and Morrish deserve special credit for the ex- cellence; variety and splendid service of the menu, They could certainly hand out some good pointers to the city caterers. Dancing was then indulged in until twelve -thirty, the music being ably sup plied by Mrs. H. Collins formerly of Goderich. During the evening Mrs. F, Saunders formerly of Clinton sang a solo, and Master King of Goderich rendered several music selections. Lieut. Barachini, of the Italian trying forces and Lieut. Coppens, of the Belgian army, ranked with the great fliers named; one with 31 vic- tories, the other with 30. America carne too late to have a chance to make a very high score in the air, and 12 Yankees landed on the im- mortal list of aces. The top five men are listed as follows: Capt. Raoul Lufbery •(killed).. Lieut. D. A. Putnam (killed).. Lieut. F. L. Baylies (killed) .. Lieut. Frank Baer (captured).. Major William Tham ,... 18 13 12 9 6 Of the Americans who fought in the air, Lufbery may be longest re- membered in the United States, just as Capt. Albert Ball of the British will be best remembered in England. Putnam, however, was the Albert Ball of the American air force, for he brought down five Germans in one day, a feat exceeded by only two men in all the war—Fonek of the French and Trollope of the British. Amer- tean aces are credited with 121 wins, but the total of German airplanes sent to earth by( all American avia- tors was 167. Of the German fliers, Capt. von Richthoffen heads Mr. Draggs' list with 80 claimed victories. His predecessor in prominence, Capt. Boelke, who was killed in October, 1917, has a score of 40. Imnelmann 'nade only 15 kills. ' Welcomed At Stratford - The many friends of Pte. Roland- Huff- man are glad to welcome him home after fighting the Hun for the last two 'years. We are pleased to state that Rev. Mr. Pte. Hufintan eniisted with the 161st Stride, who has been 111 for the past few Huron Battalion in 105► and was wound- wteks, was able to take charge of the ser - ed in Francs on Aug. 16, 1018. i"Te is vices in the Wroxeter circuit last Sunday. now residing with his %tronta at 218 Mr. Alex.

W., Australia, men who encourage 'bees to work for them are making a hubbub over the mortality among their swarms. Whole colonies are dying out, and this is attributed to the tree -poisoning car- ried out by the government on a re- turned soldiers' settlement area. Ar• senic and soda are used on the tim- ber, and an expert has been detailed to make inquiries as to the mixture's share in the destruction. ►re of the Freshening Oow. This is the month when a large number Of cows freshen. 'Both fresh, cows and newly -born calves should receive special attention. Cows ex- pected to freshen should be placed in a box stall for a few days before and after freshening. Many valuable cows and calves are lost by neglecting to provide box stall accommodation.

His experience as public school teacher stands him in good stead in the chair. Secretary E. Floody had a smile as big as the side of the house.. He believes "that nothing succeeds like success," Treasurer Pridham was in his glory. He likes to see the crowd likewise the money; Dr. Graham hasn't lost much of his old time energy and enthusiasm. He is a grand hustler. Goderich, Clinton, Exeter, Blyth, Wingharn and Brussels were well repre- sented, butSeaforth made a poor showing Mr. J Bowman, M.

Hodgson knows how to handle a euchre party, Nobody had any kick coming. • Geo. A. Newton, formerly of Wingharn, is an adept at making sandwiches. If you don't believe it jtitt ask- the Ladies' Committee. Major Beck and John Robertson made a dead set on the lst prize but neither of. them got it. - Just to think of Roger Crocker and N. B. Cobbledick, both from Exeter getting beaten at a game of euchre. Its enough to make the old town disown them. Roger says a game of cards is like a horse race, you have got to hold the cards to play them. Albert Gregg, Ex, M. P. P. 'Deputy Minister of Lands and Forest, and a Wawanosh old Boy was much missed. He was away up in New Ontario on a busi- ness.,,aijp,.0` A. G.

Valentine parties throughout the city kept some of the younger members away, and they missed a whole lot.

To wander along the quays was an absorbing occupation, not only for the sake of the joy of the find when it came, but to me for the queer little bits 'of reading that I got by the way. Scenes from forgotten novels; three verses of a poem, quaint little bits from books that only figure in histories of literature, odd facts from all the sciences; e, , cerpts from school class books, and amid the drab of text -books, the sudden color of a page from the "Felibres," the modern writers of the modern "langue d'oc," redolent with the sunshine and the scents of the "midi," which I would have to spell out sioevly as a strange near tongue.
