Then the back cockpit opened and a vast, cherubic visage, with a cigar in it, beamed at us, He came out of the thing like a baby whale coming out of a chicken's egg. He stood on the wing, griming. He stuck up two fingers in the world-famous V-sign, but with just a sugges,. tion of the service-man's naughty gesture which looked much the same but meant some- thing quite different. Then he waved, an embracing wave that said, "Come on in 'anger." Our total complement of officer pilots was almost wiped out when the rear ranks surged through, around end over us, to cluster within touching distance of the old warhorse. He talked for five minutes, earthy vocabulary Caesar em- pieyee when addressing his le- gions, And then he was off, the incredibly toOlish and ga1- lant old man, hopping to another airfield, risking his skin to have a lock at us and let us have look at him, And human he was! My‘avor- ite story is the one involving Lady Astor, the hard-nosed, asp-tongued old aristrocrat. She became enraged during an argument with Churchill, and fired what she thought was the parting shot, “If you were my husband, I'd poison your cof- fee." To which the great man replied promptly and politely, "Madarne„ if you were my wife, I'd drink it." We shall not see his like again.

DISCUSS FIRE AID Representatives from Ailsa C r aige Dorchester, Granton, Ilderton, Lambeth, London and Lucan last Tuesday evening at- tended the Middlesex County Mutual Aid Fire Service Asso- ciation meeting in London's Central Fire Hall. Club dance March 5. Lunch committee was Sandra Abbott, Carol Latta, Don Coughlin and Lois Hodgins. With his usual superb sense of timing, Winston Churchill chose to die during a rather dull winter period when it was pos- sible to attract the attention of the entire world without fear of anyone stealing the scene from him. It was time to go. There is nothing more pitiable than a great man reduced to dotage and senility. He was spared this. Despite the avalanche of an- ecdotes and eulogies and re- prints of his speeches, I don't think there was deep and wide- spread sorrow at his demise. Certainly, there was none of the heart-in-throat grief that accompanied the death of Presi- dent Kennedy. It was more of a nostalgic sadness, a sense of the loss of an institution. One can imagine the English feeling like this Rec news BY J. E. BURT I am going to go into most of the news this week very briefly except for the Lucan Shamrock 3rd annual bantam hockey tour- nament which we held here at the centre Saturday. I will get to this later. In the Intermediate game be- tween Seaforth and the Lucan Combines Friday night, Jan. 29 the Combines blew a 5-1 second period lead and settled for a6-6 tie. We had a very good crowd to our Saturday night dance again as the weather was a lot better even if it was cold. Saturday morning hockey re- sumes this Saturday again as well as the Shamrock Squirt league and our usual Saturday night public skating. And now to get to the tourna- ment, I will not indulge into the statistics as you can find them in the Exeter news or on the sports page. What I do feel is important though is the work done by the officials in the ex- treme cold which prevailed in the arena throughout the day. I would like to thank the follow- ing for a job well done as they did a very good job. First Pat Crudge who helped Me set up the tournament and then looked after the checking of the teams, for eligibility to play in the tournament and the score cards; next the two judges Glenn McFalls and Jack Ryan, both of London; next the re- ferees, Pete Shipley, George Daunsey, Wes dolly, Bill An- derson, Glen McFalls, Art Hod- gins, Brian Haskett, all the peo- ple who helped on the door; also the 'nine boys who did a very competent job on the scrapers and sweeping out the rooms be- tween games. On behalf of the arena board and r ecreation committee I thank every one who helped make the day the success that it was.

Hodgins former Lucanite Mrs. Irene Hodgins, 75, of Scarborough passed away Tues- day, Jan. 26 in Scarborough General Hospital. Mrs. Hodgins was the former Irene Ruse. Her husband, the late Jack Hodgins, passed away in 1954. Survivors are one sis- ter Mary (Mrs. F. J. Stevens) and two nieces Irene (Mrs. George Bartley) and Miss Mary Stevens, all of Scarborough. While in Lucan Mr. and Mrs. Hodgins lived in several houses the last being the corner of Main and Princess. Mrs. Hod- gins was a faithful member of Holy Trinity Church, where she sang in the choir for years before taking over the organ. She was a member of the Ladies Guild and was treasurer of the Women's Auxiliary for many years. Since leaving Lucan after Mr. Hodgins' death she has been living with her sister. They recently moved to a new home at 147 Flora Drive, Scarbor- ough. Funeral service was held in Toronto Thursday, Jan. 28 at 11 am by Rev. C. L. Harding and the body was brought to St. James cemetery, Clandeboye for commital service at approx- imately 3 pm. Flowers in the United Church Sunday were in memory of Mr. Edwin C. Poole, father of Mrs. Robert Stitt. A wizard Jimmie Benn, six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Beim, Lucan, and a grade one student at the Biddulph Central School, is a mathematical wizard. But how he learned to handle fig- ures as well as he does, no one knows, not even his parents. He can count a roll of bills of large denominations and never misses a count in a game of cribbage. In this picture he's contemplating his next move. Last summer, before he started to school, he challenged his neighbor, Mrs. Roy Hamilton, to a game of cribbage and much to the chagrin of his opponent, ended up on top. CGIT to hold sale of baking Members of CGIT met with the Explorer group Monday to view a film strip Let's Visit Trinidad, followed by separate group discussions.

Plans were also made for the anniversary play and program to be presented February 26 when all members of the church youth groups will parade to the United Church Sunday morning service February 7 to celebrate Christian Youth Week. Declare champions in public speaking when Queen Victoria died, after 60-odd years on the throne. Quite a man was Sir Winston. And just that. Not a superman, but a man. And that was why he was able to seize and shake and straight- en the hearts of the free world, with his courage and his tears, his defiance and his prayers, during those days when Europe, and the world, were threatened with "a thousand years of dark- ness." Most of us have several ele- ments in our character. Cher- chill was a kaleidoscope of the colors of life. He was reaction- ary andreformer; he was earth- ly realist and poet; he was dreamer and doer; he was sel- fish and selfless; he was arro- gant and humble. He was part pirate, part prophet; part im- perialist and part imp. He was ruthless, but he wept easily. He was a hundred other things, just as contradictory. I was 19 when the "phoney war" ended, and the German legions smashed through Bel- gium, and life suddenly became very real. And I shall never forget the thrill, the sense of hope and of resolution, that surged through us when the lion's growl rasped over the Atlantic on the airwaves, "We shall never surrender." It's difficult to realize that he was 65 then, an age when most men are retiring from life and the struggle. I saw the old fire-eater once, and was almost trampled to death in the process. It was on an airstrip in Normandy, in the summer of 1944, a few weeks after the invasion. We were drawn up on parade in the dust and heat, officers in front, other ranks in the rear, and we stood there, mut- tering curses, for half an hour. Suddenly a little two-seater scout plane popped over the horizon and squatted 60 feet in front of us. The pilot climbed out. We could see his air-vice- marshall's stripes and grumbl- ed our disgust for all brass.

Barbara Park read a thiltiren's story. Plant were made to check at the Couple's I'd like to tell you of the most exciting fertilizer idea I've run across in 30 years of farm reporting. It's an idea that's helping top farmers break .through their personal yield barriers to such yields as 130-bushel corn 5-ton hay , . , 45-bushel soy- beans ... 3000-1b. tobacco. The idea is Super QP...), a fertilizer so exclusive you can't even buy it .. . But I'm getting ahead of my story: Two years ago a select group of local manufac- turers were stung into action by a disturbing truth. The top farmers were moving faster than their advisers . . demanding that fertilizer companies improve their scattergun approach to fertility prob- lems. So, these hometown manufacturers pooled their strength in a giant cooperative effort. They called in the best..scientific brains, and handed them this "impossible" assignment: I. Develop the best fertilizer it is humanly possible to make. 2. Forget about price-per-ton. But be dead sure this fertilizer will realm the farmer more net profit than any other product on the market. We want to guarantee it will, not just talk about it. 3. formulate it for the top farmers in each com- munity. We'll refuse to sell it to anyone but the topl 4. ttifk it to fit a specific area . yes, even a seteffit moisture level, 5. Make a different fertilizer for corn, for barley, tobacco, wheat, soybeans. 6. Use the best form of nutrients for the crop—not the cheapest or easiest for the manufacturer. Wow! Sonic of those who were called in declared: "You just can't get all those coons up one tree!" But other scientists rose to the challenge. They tested soil and moisture on top farms in each com- munity , pored over the latest research .. an- alyzed new manufacturing techniques, new mate- rials. They picked the brains of ag college special- lists, interviewed top farmers on their personal goals. And then they created Super Q. The Super Q program is a national effort. It has all the efficiency and breadth of bigness . . but with the pinpoint local accuracy to give the individ- ual grower higher yields and profits. In side-by- side tests on hundreds of farms with six different crops, Super Q outyielded the best commercial fertilizers by as much as 25%. Successful as they have been with Super Q, the scientists do not See their job as done. As Dr. Ray Starostka, chief formulator for Super Q, explained to me, "Don't memorize the numbers on a Super Q bag; they'll change the minute we get a new test or technique—or as local conditions demand." I certainly don't want to give the impression that Super Q is a cure-all. On the contrary, it will only be sold to top farmers—the top 20% in yields and management. They'll make Super Q pay off. T surveyed 900 farmers in ten areas, and it was really exciting to hear them talk of their goals. Quite a few told me they were shooting for 200- bushel corn . . 7-ton hay ... 600-bushel potatoes . 60-bushel soybeans 3500-lb. tobacco — 70- bushel wheat ... 100-bushel barley .. 25-ton sugar beets ...30-ton silage. 135-bushel oats. The Super Q Manufacturers arc a select group, jealous of their reputation. Among other things, they must agree to disciplinary a ction sheuki they fall below the rigid standards, They must pledge to provide soil and crop and management services that will help Super Qfarmcrs make more profit.
