BALL•MACAULAY LIMITED SEAFORTH - 527- 0910 The hamlet of Blake, two and a hail miles north-west of Zurich, may beam bright with light every night following a pe- tition from residents to the Hay Township council on Monday. The petition asked to have a dusk-to- dawn light installed at the main intersection of the Bronson Line and Town Line, In the heart of downtown Blake. Actually the intersection has been a dangerous spot for many years, with visibility almost ob- scured from three directions. A light would be a great asset to the situation. The council instructed clerk Wayne Horner to contact Stanley Township regarding the stallation of a light, and also to contact Ontario Hydro in con- nection with the proposed installation of the same. Council felt that the light could be installed on a rental basis with Ontario Hydro. Another major decision reached at the Hay council meet- ing on Monday was the opening, of the waste disposal site for ' two days each week, instead of on Saturdays only. In future, the disposal site will remain open ' on both Wednesday and Saturday, from nine o'clock in the morning and until five o'clock in the afternoon. Appar- ently council was receiving many complaints about being open only one day each week, , Road Superintendent Karl Haberer was given approval to call tenders for the supplying, weighing, loading, hauling and spreading of approximately 36,000 tons of crushed gravel, at a price per ton for hauling onto the Township roads.

Not until early 1943 could it mount" a sustained offensive. Even then its frontline strength of 550 aircraft was only half of what its chief, Air MarshalSir Arthur Harris, considered essential. But about 65 percent of this force was made up of the long-awaited four-engined Stirling, Halifax and Lancaster bombers, and their numbers kept increasing.Within a year almost the entire daily strength of some 950 aircraft were heavy bombers, mostly the celebrated Lancasters. The heavies could carry '0 bombloads up to 14,000 pounds and the monthly tonnage in- creased greatly. The bombs themselves were bigger and more powerful and included Block Bus- ters ranging from 2000 to 12,000 pounds, thin-cased bombs with a great blasting effect. Almost every aircraft also carried the improved Mark XIV bombsight which automatically computed much of the required data and allowed the aircraft to take gentle evasive action against anti-aircraft fire right up to bomb release. Developments in arial cameras and photo inter- pretation permitted scientific analysis of bombing results. In the spring of 1943, two re- volutionary radar aids came into service. Oboe enabled transmit- ters in England to direct a bomber to its target and radio a bomb- release signal. It was highly accurate and had a range of 270 miles, easily covering the Ruhr. Since each pair of stations could. control only six aircraft an hour, Oboe was limited to the target- marking pathfinder force with its fast, high-altitude Mosquito fighter-bomber - one of the most versatile aircraft of the war. H2S, the second radar aid, was carried aboard the aircraft. Mounted downward, it enabled the navigator to "see" through dark and cloud by boUncing radio signals off the ground.

TUCKER,SMITH GROUP I The Tuekersmith Group 1 of Brucefield United Church met in the Sunday School room which was decorated with hearts and flowers for Valentine. Mrs. J. Henderson and Mrs. H. Berry were in charge of the Devotions. Mrs. Berry opened the meeting with a poem "I'd like to be the sort of friend you have been to me". Mrs. A. Ham was pianist. Mrs. Henderson read the Scripture and spoke on "India" showing a display of Indian pro- ducts. The offering was re- ceived by Mrs. Berry and dedi- cated by Mrs. Henderson. Prayer by Mrs. Berry followed and Mrs. Stoll, the Unit president, was in charge of business. Thank you notes were read from the Chapman family and Miss M.E.Swan. MissSwan asked to be relieved of sending cards to the sick- it -the group. Mrs. Jno. Broadfoot is taking her place. A travelling apron was sent out as a money making project for February.

Baker Public Relations Officer Branch 156 THE WAR IN THE AIR THE SEARCH FOR ACCITRACY To improve bombing accuracy the bomber crew was re-organ- ized: the second pilot was re- placed by a flight engineer; a bomb-aimer was added; the observer, renamed navigator, gave up his other duties of bomb- aiming and gunnery to concen- trate on navigation, In August 1942 Bomber Command created a pathfinder force to mark the bombers' route and target with flares. A year later it intro- duced master bombers to con- trol target marking and direct incoming bombers throughout the raid. In March 1942 a new radio navigation aid called Gee came into service. It enabled the navigator to fix his position from radio impulses transmitted from ground stations in England. The Germans countered with Heinrich, a transmitter which jammed Gee signals once the aircraft crossed the occupied coast. But Gee remained useful, giving a final fix before abomber entered enemy territory and a homing signal on its return. More important, perhaps, Gee enabled the Command to use a bomber-stream technique' to overwhelm Germany's early- warning radar system. The German network stretched along the occupied coast and the ap- proaches to the Ruhr in an inter- locking chain of radar stations about 20 miles apart. Each had a 75-mile Freya radar and two short-range Giant Wurzburg ra- dars. As a bomber approached, the Freya reported, its position to a controller who alerted the anti-aircraft defenses and dis- patched a radar-equipped night fighter to orbit the station. Now the two wurzburgs,took over - , one tracked the bomber's approach, the other guided the night fighter until its own two- mile ,LichtensteM, radar could pick up the bomber, The system had a serious drawback: each station could engage only one bomber at a time. Nevertheless it worked because the Allied bombers flew independently - navigation was too imprecise for concentrated formations. This situation changed dra- matically with Gee navigation. , On May 30, 1942, the night of the first 1000-plane raid, the - bomber-stream tactic was used for the first time. The bombers all took the same route to Co- logne, flying in waves at timed intervd.ls and staggered heights. Instead of lasting 7 hours, the raid was completed in 2 1/2. ' Although four aircraft were lost in collisions, over the target and 39 were destroyed, mostly by night fighters, 910 of the 1096 bombers that took off actually bombed the target. They caused almost as much damage as all the previous raids on Germany. Said' Churchill: "This is the herald of what Germany will receive, city by city, from n6w on."
