To Norma, it is with a feeling of deep regret that we realize that you are to leave our immediate midst. Many of us assembled here tonight have watched you grown from child­ hood to young womanhood and so have your welfare at heart. However, we realize that our- loss will be an­ other gain, for we feel that in your new home you will reign as a charm­ ing and gracious sovereign, being a true home-maker in every sense of the word. Fortunate indeed, is the young man who is to share it with you. It is our purpose, therefore, in gathering here tonight to ask you to accept this gift, not for its intrinsic value, but as a slight token of the es­ teen in which you are held by your many friends in .this community.

He Was the oldest sort of the late James and Mrs. Wilkinson, Belgrave. For the bast 51 years he has resided oft his farm in Morris Township, mov­ ing in August of this year to Brussels. He was a member of Brussels United Church. Mh Wilkinson was highly Mrs.. G E. Hall We extend our sincere sympathy to Mr. George Edward Hall, proprietor of the Clinton News Record, on the death of his wife, Marion Elizabeth Hutchings, who passed on Tuesday last week in her 67th year. She was a native of Dorsetshire, England and came to Canada in 1882 with her sleep in my mother-in-law’s shelters We started off by having about nine grown-ups and two babies in it. It was mo joke sitting huddled together at night for six hours and not being, above to move a foot. Now our little-, family has dwindled down to four so we have a mattress down there and. just manage to lie down. I manage about five hours sleep a night now,, which is not too bad during a ten- hour raid. We hear old Jerry -overhead all night long and the guns continually firing. We seem to be surrounded by A.A. batteries at Loughton and do they make a row. Still we have grown accustomed to it now and sleep righit through it. I awoke to a terrific bang: at 1 a.m. today.' They had dropped’ something about 300 yards away- lit knocked about a dozen houses over, I believe. That has been the nearest to us except a small bomb in the cricket field 100 yards away. Wet don’t mind it during the day as our? fighters give them a severe handling/. When I was on duty in the city last Saturday afternoon I watched a love­ ly fight. A big formation of Jerries, bombers and fighters, came over and about a dozen of our Spitfires sailed family. She was married in 1899 and right into them at all angles. Did they after living in” Simcoe and Kitchener break" them up! They don’t appear they moved to Clinton in 1906 where to like our fellows at all. they have since resided. Besides her husband there survive two sons, Ernest of Toronto, Gordon of Cayuga, and one daughter, Evelyn, at home; a daughter, Mildred, died in 1907; one sister, Mrs. Charles Trickett of Port Rowan and one brother, Percival, of Tillsonburg; one brother and two sisters died several years ago. ... The funeral was held from the fam­ ily residence, Clinton on Friday after­ noon,1 The Rev. A. E. H. O’Neil. service was conducted by Silver, assisted by Rev, A, ANOTHER LETTER FROM LONDON The following letter received from London by Mr. J. R. M. Spittai, Manager- of the Dominion Bank, from his brother, gives some idea of the life of a business man in that bombed city. Despite the heavy bombings this letter shows, as others have, that the spirit of the people there is wonderful. As Mr. Spittai’s brother says “If any­ one says we are on our knees, just dot him one.” Royal Bank of Canada, 6 Lothbury, London, E.C.L. 19, 9, 40 My Dear Inez and Jim: I suppose you have heard there is a war on. We certainly know all about it now. I shipped Eileen and Graham (wife and son) off to Scotland about a fortnight ago, so have felt since that a ton weight has been removed from my shoulders. Jerry has been taking a crack at., London and vicinity and has given it a good dent, but by no means broken. As you doubtless know, it is the poor­ er people who have been most seri­ ously affected. If they have not lost their lives, they have lost everything else except their courage. How long this state of affairs is going to con­ tinue I don’t know, but it Can’t finish any too soon for me. Thank God, so fat we, that is, my •family., and connections down here, have not been affected except a cer­ tain amount of inconvenience*, I have hot been to bed for weeks;, but we manage to get a certain amount of i. Of course, I could tell you Tots o£ things, but it would fill a book. E don’t know what kind of news you. get out there, but if anyone says we are on our knees just dot him one. Business has, of course, been affect­ ed, as it is bound to when we have these continual raids. We seem to travel to work and go home again in- a raid. I Was in two on the way home yesterday. Of course, 'you don’t see anything most times. I left home at 8.15 this morning and arrived at the office at 11 a.m. Not bad for 15 miles. They appear to have hit a bit of our railway during the- night. • • . Nowadays it is a case of going home, get your meal, change into -your old bags and expect Jerry about .8- p.m. If you venture out after that you risk a piece of shell on the topper- I have several tiles smashed on my roof but if nothing worse than that, happens I have no grumble. I don’t know what Hitler is playing at today. He has not annoyed us since 8.30 a.m. It is now 3 p.m. He mush be losing his krip. You will probably be getting some snaps from Scotland. I asked' Eileen to have them sent on. I have a week’s holiday due in Oc­ tober, so if all goes well I shall up north for a rest. Hello, I spoke too soon. Sounds1 like a great bomb, in the next road. Just popped out for a cup of tea and was told it was a delayed action bomb about ^-mile away. Well, I want to get away early so- will pack up, I could write a deal more but will do so later. After the invasion if the lunatic •to try it. Don’t worry about come out in the wash, when you have time. Hope all are well. Bob. P.S.—Eileen’s brother is a prisoner* Great relief, is mad enough us.
