choosing the winner in the various
classes, but their troubles were as
nothing compared toi what confronted
them in determining the "Best -in-
Show," the Star in a story on Wed -

"Thejudges then were faced with
awarding . a .'best -in -show' trophy to
one of thea first three prize winners.
This, perhaps, surprisingly did not go
to the largest .and most elaborate
bird house in the show, but to a very
ateats tidy and useful little model, the
project of an ,11 -year-old boy." •

Part in Parade.
R.A.F. CHAPLAIN \
IS GUEST SPEAKER
"Britain today is a land of heroes,
most of whom are not in uniform,"
Squadron Leader A. Hooper, padre at
the R.A.F. Navigation School at Port
Albert told an audience of more than
1,000 which filled First • Presbyterian
Church, .Seaforth, on- Sunday after-
noon. The rally was held under the
auspices. of the Huron County War
Services Campaign which is now in
progress.
The speaker told of •the magnificent
work which the auxiliary services are
doing in, defending London and Bri-
tain. The firemen, the A.R.P. work-
ers,
the ambulance drivers„ the police,
all are unsung heroes, be ,said.
One thing that had made its im-
pression on him since coming to Can-
ada,
an-
ada was the difference lifehere
as
compared to Great Britain. In Bri-
tain the people are living on the brink'
of the mad house of the Continent of
Europe where the enslavement of free
and -innocent people is the means tb
an end for the glorification of the
Nazi 'party:
Britain stands today as the last bul-
tiark of Christianity, of civilization,
the last defender of all things held
dear by a• -free people, she said.
"Do you noir thrill with pride , at
'this amazing fight' which your fellow
British citizens are putting up?"
Squadron Leader Hooper asked.
"And yet there are 'still a few 'who
think that the • fight is not their fight.
It is incredible that there are today
men and women who do not realize
that their personal liberty, freedom of
body, speech and worship is .depend-,
ing upon, the result ,of the fight which
is being put up in that little island,"
he continued.
The rally was preceded by a parade
in which appeared members, of the
branches of the Canadian Legion and
cimpaniesfrom the Middlesex and
Hurd'n Regiment of Seaforth and God-
:lsrn' Gh the lfnss rs
P-I{'x te
r and
the
9 i th Battery of Wingh+am. Three
bands paraded, the Seaforth Highland-
ers, Winghans Citizens and Stratford
Salvation Army. Charles Holmes,
Seaforth, was parade Marshall, while
-the rally was arranged by •a commit-
tee headed by George W.. Schaeffer,
Goderich.
Prior to dismissal the troops 'par-
aded. past the Town Hall where the
salute was taken by Major Thomas
Morgan, of the Middlesex and Huron
Regiment.. On the reviewing stand
with hint was .R. E. Pooley, of 'Exeter,
zone commander of, the Canadian Leg-
ion.
Mayor John J. Cluff extended a civic
welcome. The chairman of the meet-
ing was E. S. Copeland, of Wingham.
Hundreds 'unable • to .gain admittance
to the church heard the, program -from
loud speakers outside:'
J. D. "Thomas, chairman the
County Board in charge. of the cam-
paign, told the meeting that Huron
had already raised.62; per cent of its
objectives. The . campaign is only 50
per cent completed;- he' said.,
Rev. Mr. Beecroft, of Wing -ham,
.spoke briefly and -urged support of the
campaign. "This war is an. occasion
for service and sacrifice.," he said,
"not for gain and prosperity from our
country's agony." -
The monthly meeting of the Crom-
arty Ladies' Aid was held at the home
of Mrs. Andrew McLellan on Wednes-
day afternoon with a good attendance.
The president, Mrs. Roy McCulloch
opened the meeting with the sinking
of Hymn 218, followed by the Scrip-
ture lesson and prayer. Various por-
tions of business Was discussed and
adopter.' . Mrs T. L. Scott and Mrs.
P. Laing each read a. short paper.
The meeting was closed by singing
the National Anthem.. A bountiful
lunch was served and a social time
Spent.
The, monthly meeting of the W.M.S.
was' held at the Manse on Thursday
last with a good attendance in spite
of bad rosins, there having been quite
a lot of snow at that time. Ini the
absence Of the president, Mrs. Wm.
Hamilton, Mrs. Jamieson Presided.I
The • Meeting was opened by singing
Psalm No. 19. The Scripture lesson,
Matthew 28, was read by Mrs. Roy
McCulloch, followed with prayer by
Mrs. Jamieiion. Roll gall Was respond-
ed to by 15 members. Treasurer's re-
port by Mrs. Hill was encouraging.
A solo was rendered by Mrs. Roy Me-
Culloch followed by a reading ,by Mrs.
James Scott and Hymen 212 was sung.

book; current events by Mrs. John

iod to cinch the victory. The third
goal scored was disputed and . the
game had to be held up while, the ice
was cleared. Mac Craig was so well
