We will now give you a play by play description of a day in camp. At 6.15 precisely a cowbell rings but it is, greeted .only by loud groans and a too feeble attempt to roll out of the bed. Fifteen miutes later the breakfast bell rouses everyone and everything. There is a mad, dazed rush to the washroom where half- closed eyes become open bytle i nvi g - orating and chilling effect of the icy water, The breakfast room is tlteti visited very hurriedly, minds as we have to gulp down our food and olimb into the truck, using one hand to elevate ourselves and the other one to crani the remainder of our break- fast into our mouths. We are awakened thoroughly on the ride to work by the chilly air and the bumpy road to D'Arey Cropp's orchard, where all passengers are discharged gratis. We begin oux labour which is picking fruit and af- ter nine hours the foreman regards the fruits of our labour with what we hope is an approving glance. At five o'clock, no whistle is need- ed to induce us to discontinue any activity, which may have been appar- ent' during the day as we have been asking the time every five minutes in the -last four hours. At 5.01 the truck is ready to leave for our derelict castle. The next hour and a half is spent in first reading' our mail and then in scrubbing the dirt off (in- formation about good dirt remover will" bre gratefully received). At 6.30 the cow }fell 'tinge again and this time we are in the dining ball before the last clang of the .bell dies away, greedily grabbing for a plate. Soon the plates: are emptied and filled once more (we drink only 95 qts. of milk a day and eat 20 loav- es of bread a day). After replenish- ing aur calories we make the lunches for the next day. In the evening the girls go out on various activities. On late leave nights- the et g nderellas ar- rive back to camp at 12 pin. and on other nights the lights are out at ten. Two late leaves a week are enjoyed. But seriously we would not have missed these experiences for any- thing. We are looking forward to another Holiday with pay in 1942. We now feel that we are doing our bit towards bringing mu country nearer victory. yours sincerely Clinton Farmerettes.

(Stratford Beaeon Herald). Miss Frances Hawkins Gives Address In St. Paul's Chur tilt Mists Frances .Hawkins, ?tvho re* turned front Japan this past spring,, addressed St. Paul's congregation last Sunday morning. Miss Rawlins stat- ed that, with the rise of the present militaristic government in Japan, it seemed as though the missionary ef- forts of the past eighty years would crumble, From the facts .of the Story of missionary work, 'achieved by Miss Hawkins and her co-workers, as well as other missionary enterpris- es in Japan, one would feel confident that sparks of Christianity will glow,. until the missionaries are able to re- turn to spread the gospel story. , Before leaving Japati, the mission- aries saw that many of the native workers would not be able to carry on due to lack •of funds. However, in, some cases, parents were willing to - bear the cost of the ki.nclergardens in: . order that the splendid work among the little children may be carried on. Miss Hawkins was certain that many of the Japenese people would. prefer that their country had remain- ed friendly with Great Britain, rath- er than join Germany and Italy. Be- fore she left Japan, Miss Hat'flcins noted that increasing numbers of Ger- mans were coating into japan to as» sist in the "new order." They post, sess very overbearing manners, and the ordinary Japanese tradesman doee not treat them as kindly as he does British customers. 'Since returning u•ning to Canada,Miss: • Hawkins a ms that id •t a at she had t c had oc- casional people say that they did not wish to hear about Japan, but, before leaving, Miss Hawkins said, many people expressed their, desire to re- main Christians and knew that it would be easier to do, when they knew that friends in Canada wero- praying for them. As Miss Hawkins said in conclusion, many marvellous things etre wrought by prayer. She begged that Christians in Canasta,. should pray for their fellow Midst - tans in hidst-ians•in Japan, hoping for the day when peace will unite the nations, Assist in Service at St.. Paul's Last Sunday evening, men from the Clinton Radio School took, part in the: services in St. Paul's church, Five men, P.O. Boucher, Cpl, Lawson, AC.. Robinson, AC. Gorton and AO. Halla am formed the choir. AC Townson: presided at the organ. AC Hallam read the passage of scripture. Al- though there are many differences. between the form of service used in England and that in use in Canada. the men took their parts very well. It is expected that they will assist at the evening service each Sunday ev- ening dining the month of .August.. R'ev. G. W. Moore's sermon was based on the life , hymns and relig- ious poems of Rev. John Kible, At the. conclusion of the service Mr. Moore was pleasantly surprised.whem one of the airmen stated he eamo from the home town of John Kible.. After the service, members of the congregation and the airmen gathered in the Parish Hall. Rev. G. W. Mooren welcomed the men, who later intro duced themeselves and told comet - thing .of omet.thing.o£ their home town. An inter- esting social ]tour was, enjoyed by alfl,,
