URGE SPEEDING
EFFORT IN WAR
Legions of Three Counties Call For
More Action
A largely attended meeting of rep
resentatives of Canadian Legion
branches in Huron, Perth and Bruce
Counties, held in Clinton recently, un
animously passed a resolution calling
on the Dominion Government to take
vigorous action to speed up Canada’s
war effort.
Several speakers stressed the need
for immediate' action, stating that
“apathy” displayed; by the public'was
“moist alarriiing.” Vigorous Govern
ment leadership was required, it was
claimed, in order to meet the threat
made so evident by the quick subju
gation of the Netherlands and the ter
rific battle now being waged in Bel
gium. ", ............
i The need for stricter .supervision of
enemy aliens and the immediate in
ternment of all suspected of subvers
ive activities was -urged.
•The meeting was in charge of R. E.
Pooley/zone commander for Zone 10,
and Earl Burgess, commander of Dis
trict No. 1, was the guest speaker.
It was decided to hold this year’s
annual Zone 10 church parade in, Sea
forth on Sunday, September 8th.
R. E. Pooleyf of Exeter,- and H. S.
Turner, Goderich,- were appointed zone
representatives to the Dominion con
vention to be held in Montreal the
end of this month.
The next regular zone meeting will
be held in Listowel on October 8th.

Why, it couldn’t be true. The first
two teeth ihad come through so nice
ly. Somebody must be wrong in their
diagnosis . . . but just as the doctor
said, the coughing kept up with no
teeth showing. Food came to have a
distressing habit of popping back up
after it seemed to be safely confined
amidships.
It’s become a nightly occurrence
for Mrs. Phil to sleep with one eye
open waiting for that first hacking
cough from the crib in the corner.
Then out of bed to mother the tiny
tot unable to control 'the rasping
coughing. Back to bed ... to sleep
and up again . . . while I, being a
mere male, flutter around in the back
ground, trying to help .but getting in
the road at all times.
With disdain for the ordained sys
tem of breakfast, dinner and supper
Two /tiny white teeth peeped
through a baby’s gums one day . . .
and with the pride of inxeperience we
gloried in the fact that Patricia Ann
wasn’t going to' have the routine
trouble of teething. Somehow, she
may have sensed our pride in this fact
. . . and displayde the two tiny ivor
ies. z
Everyone wanted to see her teeth.
They pried inquisitive- fingers along
the tiny, lower jaw and- winced as she
speckled determination in a pair of i at regular times, she develops peevish,
baby blue eyes and applied pressure. | cross spells just when the food is hot.
She was a constant source of admira
tion and displayed or covered the two
baby teeth according to her mood.
“My,, how lucky you are,” pepple
would' Say7, “Patricia Ann is not. going,
to have all the trouble ours had. .We,;
sat up for nights and nights with cross ,
babies.” Basking with pleasure, the
trio of us . . ■. Mrs. Phil,.myself and]
Patricia Ann, would agree . ., butl
we little knew what was coming:
It commenced with a coughing spell j
Quietened down, she smiles and seems
to be happy again . . . down to th'e
meal . . . and then she starts all ov
er again.
■ . Company is something she doesn’t
tolerate. She smiles sweetinly until
they’re settled . . . looks over Uncle
Peter’s' foul-smelling ibrier that he in-
l herited from a great uncle . . . re-
■' gards Aunt Tabitha’s .bonnet with cur
iosity . . . and when the party has
, settled down to general' remarks on
the neighbours, she reminds' all pres
ent that she’s having Her" teething
problems. >. ; :
In the midst of the most important
news despatch on the radio, she com
pletely forgets that we’re .listening to
London or Rome or Paris' . .. . but
calls attention to the fact that war is
not confined to Eprppd^aJbne ’. . .
there’s trouble on .the,.home front.
When at last she’s packed off in lier
trundle bed .... Mrs. Phil looks
across the table and doesn’t say‘any
thing. I know instinctively that she’s
thinking about the same thing as I
am. Remembering how mother and
father used to say, “You’ll never know
the trouble of children until you have
them of your own” . . ■. and rememb
ering and appreciating . . . the add-
ed line . . . “But a smile of happi
ness from a baby is worth all the
trouble you can have with them” . •. .
