McKillop Farmer
IsFatally Injured
Viet ru"tnx of an accident, George
Aberhatt, 70, prominent McKillop
Township farmer, was fatally In-
jured at the gravel pit on his
farm on Tuesday. He died about
11 p.m. from injuries received
that morning.
Mr Aberhart apparently was
standing on a load of gravel when
his clothing caught in the shaft of
a conveyor belt. The clothing
wound around the shaft and was
completely torn from the upper
part of his body.
The only witness was Wilfred
Coleman, who, at the time, was
bringing more gravel from the pit
He stopped the motor of the load-
er and freed Mr, Aberhart, then
sent for help.
Ab, Harrison, a neighbor, sum-
moned doctors who gave first aid
and had the victim removed to
Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth
Blood plasma was administered'
for shock.
Deceased is survived by three
sons—one of them Don Aberhart,
Goderich, president Huron County
Garage Operators' Association—
and four daughters, as well as
three brothers and a sister and
13 grandchildren.

W/C A. C. HULL
URGES ADEQUATE
DEFENCE PLANS
Wing Commander A. Chester
Hull, DFC, commanding officer,
RCAF Station, Clinton, delivered
a very timely address to the
members of Clinton Lions Club
at their Tuesday evening dinner
meeting in St. Paul's Parish Hall.
He was introduced by ,Fit. Lt
G, G. Agnew and was thanked in.
behalf of the Club by V. D. Fal-
coner. President W. E. Perdue
was in the chair,
W/C Hull declared that it had
been stated that unless nations
are prepared to accept UNO, then
it can do more than the ill-fated
League of Nations. Many writers,
noting nationalistic disputes, have
gone so far as to state that an-
other war is not only possible but
inevitable. This future war would
be ruinous through the destruc-
tion caused by the atomic bomb.
"However, until world govern-
ment is assured, Canada must be
prpeared to defend herself," the
speaker declared: He pointed out
that the range of fighting aircraft
was over 6,000 miles so that Can-
ada was well within range.
W/C Hull stated that Canada's
needs included defence against
aggression, assistance to the civil
power in the maintenance of law
and order, and the carrying out
of an undertaking required for
the safety of the country. Our
first line of defence was to work
with other friendly nations to
prevent war. "Let's be like the
builders of King • Solomon's
temple—with trowel in hand and
sword at side."
The armed forces play a very,
necessary role in the defence of
the country in peacetime, but
they, are only the tools. "Are
the services keeping up to date
with other countries? Are the
