V Long Distance Telephone Calls to Begin at 6 p.m. The announcement that from March 1, night rates on long distance calls will begin at 6 p, m. instead of 7 as •heretofore, will be of special interest to boys and girls telephoning home from camps and barracks all over the country. The change will be effective also on all lines of the Trans -Canada Telephone System. Two main results are expected from this change—the added conveni- ence of the longer night rateperiod and lessoned congestion on war -busy lines which, because of material shortages, cannot be extended. Further, of course, there will be an obvious saving to users through the one -hour's lengthening of the night rate period. V "Sky Falls" on New Addition to Overseas Fighting Canadians The following is taken from the Newmarket ^ Era and Express and refers to Kenneth Johns, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Johns of Newmarket and formerly of Clinton. Kenneth was born in Clinton and is a nephew of Mrs. Albert Seeley. "A rather interesting evening" somewhere overseas is described, by L/Bdr. Kenneth A. Johns, New- market, in a letter to his sister-in- law, Mrs. George E. Johns. It was an air-raid "Suddenly we heard a very faint whistle and being novices we stood and looked at each other until an enormous flash lit up the sky. A few seconds later a ter rific concussion rocked us and we knew we had .witnessed our first bomb. "All the time the search -lights were• focussed on one spot and due to slight haze we couldn't actually see the plane but by this time it was almost directly above us. "You may imagine how we felt at this time when far above us we de- tected a faint whistle which rapidly increased to a nerve -shattering whine. I may say that I'in expecting the V. C. for being the first man to hit the ground. We were fooled again, as the bomb passed us by and blasted a crater. in a nearby common. We didn't think we were the target. These eggs were just jettisoned. "The blast broke a few windows and 'when it passed everyone got shakily to their feet, as the show had just started. High in the heav- ens directly above us we heard the reassuring roar of a British night - fighter. Evidently it passed a radio signal to the lights that it had spot - ed the bomber, as they shut off as ne. Then right above us at about 0,000 'feet the sky became bright with tracers. "Twice we heard the night -fighter's ngines roar as he dived to attack and the ,rattle of machine-guns and the roar of cannons echoed down on us. Then the biggest thrill came. A bright flash lit the sky and the sound of the German motors increas- ed in tempo as he raced to evade the issue, but he had been fatally hit, as with engines roaring at top speed he came hurtling down. It hadn't caught fire, so it wasn't until a search -light flashed and showed it spinning down that 'we were able to glimpse its fate. With a flame that lit the whole countryside it crashed into a' hill a mile and .a half away.
