bread was once placed on Sunday for
distribution under an old bequest.
Above is the gallery where the singers
and players sat.
The most interesting memorial in
the church is called the Fordwich
Stone. It is of roughly carved stone
and resembles a chest. The top is
rounded and carved with shell or tile
like decoration roughly cut. The sides
have round headed arcading. Sonic
historians hold the opinion that this is
the front part of the tomb of St.
Augustine from Canterbury. Other
historians hold the theory that it is
the front of Archbishop Ode's tomb.
We know that in 866 the Abbey of St.
Augustine, at Canterbury, held land
at Fordwich and this land led to
trouble with the monks of Christ
Church, at 'Canterbury, who set up a
rival quay at Fordwich, of which the
Fordwich Arms Inn is supposed to be
the original Crane House. So per-,
haps this part of St. Augustine's tomb
is at home. The church too has the
unusual distinction of having a heart
shaped shrine which was found in
1904.
Fordwich trout are famous. Isaak
Walton knew the trout and in his
"Complete Angler" we can read; "A
trout called there a Fordige trout,
A trout that bears the name of the
town where it is usually caught, that
is accounted the rarest of fish . .
many of them near the bigness of
salmon but known by their different
colour."

RECENT & READABLE
For those who like sea stories, the
Winghani Public Library has one of
the latest and most interesting books
of the sea on its shelves,
THE CAINE MUTINY
by Herman Wouk
The Caine Mutiny is a sea yarn
plus. It is a full colorful novel of
two main stands. One is the story of
Willie Keith; the other is the strange
triangle .pn the old destroyer-mine-
sweeper Caine which results in the
almost incredible fact of a mutiny
aboard a United States Navy ship in
World War II,
Willie Keith, through whose eyes
the reader sees the Caine mutiny,
starts out as a careless, good-humor-
ed -Princeton boy and ends as the
grini and battered captain of the
Caine. The story of his growing up is
dramatized in his long love affair
with May Wynn, who scrapes a living
as a singer in the lower reaches of
the Broadway night-club world.
The triangle on the Caine consists
of Captain Queeg, a half-comic, half-
tragic petty tyrant; his executive
officer, Lieutenant Maryk, an excel-
lent naval officer, but beyond his
depth in the tense and frightening
situation that develops on the mine-
sweeper; and the 'third-in-command,
Lieutenant Keeffer, an embittered,
witty intellectual who sparks the re-
volt.
Paralleling the experience of a
confident young man entering the
military life, the novel starts in a
humorous and romantic vein. When
Willie Keith comes aboard the battle-
scarred tramp called the Caine the
tone begins to deepen and the lens
to broaden. Tremendous scenes (ol-
low the mounting tension on board as
the ship prepares to go into the
Kwajelein ' invasion; the wild panor
ama of the typhoon off the Philip-
pines in December 1944, at the height
of which the mutiny takes place; and
the court-Martial of Maryls which
follows, and which turns on the testi-
mony of Willie Keith.
Presenting to the reader a surface
of swift, vigorous entertainment, The
Caine Mutiny also contains a search-
ing, indirect comment on the basic
problems of discipline and commaltd
in the civilian-swelled armed forces
of a free country. But this is left for
the reader to complete in pis own
mind, after he has enjoyed the
comedy, the long thrilling drama, and
the moving love story which are the
main elements of the structure. It
is the third novel by the author of
Aurora Dawn and City Boy, and it
is the biggest and most important of
his works.
Date of Yorkshire
Sale Is Changed
The 1952 Yorkshire Sale will again
be held at Dickson Park, Galt, on
Thursday, October 16th. This an-
nouncement was made recently by
R. H. Graham, Secretary of the
Ontario SWine Breeders' Association,
under whose auspices the sale is
held. The sale date, originally Oc-
tober 8th, was changed in order that
the sale would follow the Regional
Show at Erin, on October 13th.
Mr. Graham points out that pros-
pective buyers can buy with confi-
dence from among the 40 bred sows,
12 open sows and 12 boars which are
being offered. These entries are
from some of the top Yorkshire herds
in Ontario, and most of them will
have A,R. backing. An important
feature is that bred sows will have
service dates which will ensure the
buyer of litters arriving shortly after
purchase. Animala consigned to this

low ebb is, practically over and that

in mind, now is the time to make

Belgrave Ousts
Wroxeter 16 to 5;
With three games to their credit,
against Wroxeter's two, Belgrave went
after that decisive win on Wednesday
night, and after the fourth innings,
their victory was never in doubt. A
large crowd was on hand to cheer for
their respective sides on this warm
August night.
Although there were plenty of er-
rors on both sides, Belgrave was for-
tunate in their battery of Anderson
and Irwin. Anderson went the dis-
tance for the Belgrave squad and
managed to keep things well under
control. Irwin, behind the plate, play-
ed heads up ball all night and made
some fine catches.
Brown started on the mound for
Wroxeter but was blasted off his
perch, and was replaced by K. Edgar
who took the same route, with Brown
coming back to finish up for him.
The four runs in the fourth spelled
the doom of the Wroxeter team and
they never recovered from the on-J
slaught.
In their first game with Port Elgin
on Saturday night, Belgrave fell to
the score of 8-0, The next game is
slated for Thursday night in Wing-
ham park.
