The Huron Expositor, 1941-05-23, Page 1Eighty-second Year Whole Number 3832 WINTHROP AND SEAFQRTilt,,MAY COMBINE IN H:F.A. Huron Football .Association Draws Schedule . For Games. FIRST GAME MAY 26 It is probable that Winthrop will withdraw its entry.in the Huron Foot- ball League 'this year, according to information available, following the association executive meeting on Monday at which a schedule • was drawn. Winthrop made ant entry and is included in the schedule, but later in the evening when a canvass of players available had been completed, it was apparently found that the en- try was not .feasible. It is expected that a number of the players will play with Seaforth, who also were hard pressed ,for enough men to field a team. Association Secretary A. W. Dick said Thursday that while he had not been officially 'informed of, Winthrop's withdrawal,. he believed that such ac- tion was contemplated. The association decided on a two - group schedule with a Port Albert team in each. .• Teams finishing first and second in the group will play off for the finals, goals to count. In the finals, group winners will .play with games to count. Should' a third game be nec- essary it will, be played on neutral grounds. Teams baying the .highest points in group playoffs has the choice of grounds. ' The schedule: --h South' Group May 26—Port Albert at St. Columban. May 28—Seaforth' at Port Albert.

I� NFF • Broker,' Eggs Delay- Mail Damaged fruit, broken glass jars which had contained maple syrup and cartons of fresh eggs, all broken, causing damage to the surrounding mails, are being- removed from par- cels addressed to our Overseas Troops at the Base Post Office, Ottawa. Canadian Postal Corps' officials have reported to Hon. Wm. P. Mulock, K.C., Postmaster General; that last week 16 pareels in one brig of army mail miss- ed a despatch because they required r., ,c;ng, as a result of the breii,kage of a glass jar of maple syrup in one parcel. 'Fresh eggs that had been en- closed without wrapping, along with two tins of maple syrup, in !pother parcel had also broken and spread. Five bananas with but a single paper coyer and two thin cartons of eggs merely wrapped in paper were remov- ed from other packages: The above examplea illustrate the folly of sending perishable or fragile article's through the mails to our troops, especially' in view • of the long journey by land and sea under war- time conditions. Parcel's containing lieriShable goods likely to spoil w' -*.h• in the time 'required for transporta- tion and delivery, or which contain articles likely .to become damaged in transit, are not acceptable fot m'a9- ing. If a parcel fe worth mailing it is worth care in packing. All parcels should be fully prepaid, securely packed in strong containers, wrapped in several layers of thick paper and tied with. Strong twine. A slip con= taining the address of the soldier and the return address' of the' sender should be enclosed with the contents. The sender's address 'should appear ori the cover.

Ottawa on Wednesday he had been informed' that a $900,000 "radio air .,school" will be established near Clinton, Ont., by the Royal Air Force, according to a story from that. city. "I have no details of the project," - Mr. Golding said. "All I know is that it is supposed to be a radio air. school —I don't know just what type—ane that it is to cost $900,000." ' The member declined to disclose the source of his inforfnation. . -Officials 'of the• Royal Canadian Air Force and Department, of Munitions and Supply, said they had no word of plans- to build such a school. : It was considered possible here that the school,. if it is built, might have some connection with the training of radio technicians' to man British de- vices being used to locate night bomb- ers. Youths recruited by the R.C.A. F. to serve overseas in this capacity are prepared to undergo courses of instruction at various Canadian uni- versities. Meanwhile Norman Tyndall has sold his 1.00 -acre farm south of Clinton and work commenced Wednesday' morning on the erection of offices, Mr. Tyndall is having a clearing sale on Friday.

Bee -1 croft, of Wingham, and discussed de -.I tails concerning the county organiza- tion: • "Canada 'has not yet become war conscious," said - the speaker, "but Canada will+. yet ' beconde war con- seious. Our complacency may be jar- red Wide open and roused to boiling point. We .put our trust in God, but I say it with all reverence God can not win this war for us without our help. We are the instruments in His hands. Nor can we win the war without God's help for without Him we are undone. The Empire has' often been at . war in the past but rever 'in a war like this one. We thought "the last war was tough, and • we had allies to help use, ..Today we stand alone and the job is the tough- est the old Empire has ever under- taken. The army,- the air, force, the navy are all doing 'their part; they are making.the complete offering. Our standard of service should be a com- plete offering of all the money we can raise. Every hank account in Huron .county 'should be drawn upon to the limit. What matter if • we all go bankrupt 'so long,as we are free. What use to us zv111' our money be if Hitler wins? He won't win if we all do our part. Th'e' city of London in one week raised a sum of 70 million • pounds sterling for war equiprne'nt. "Men of. Huron," said the speaker in conclusion. "Canada, the Empire ex- pects that every Man will do his duty, in this Victory Loan drive." Other speakers heard were Mayer Knowles who explained and outlined the organization; Peter Jaffray, E. E.

Stanley, on Friday marked tire 100th .anniversary of its founding, when, a centenary celebra- tion was held. The school is'on the. Mill Road; -a short, distance: west of Brticefield. The ceremony began with the plant- ing of a tree in honor of the pioneers, after which a short program of patri- otic choruses, two-part songs, etc., un- der the direction of S. Rennie, were rendered by- the school: George Wil- son acted as chairman: John McEw- en, who started to school in 1867, the year of Confederation, gave a very in- teresting historical account of the school and its teachers, interspersed. with some amusing incidents of the pioneer days. - The first log schoolhouse, he re- marked, was built in 1854. It was destroyed by fire in 1858, and a new brick one was erected. While it was being- built school was held in Mr. Gull's house west of the .school: It was soon found that this building was not large enough• for the 75 children who attended during the winter, and in 1876 'a two -room -school was:lxriit: The present school house was erected. in 1922. A teleplay 'of articles used by the pioneers=grain cradles, yokes, yarn reels, pinking irons, and some of the scbool books used 'in the early days --attracted . •considerable attention. The .weather being ideal, a bountiful lunch was' -enjoyed on the .school lawn. Many pupils who ' later occupied prominent places in the life of the province attended the school, number- ing ainong, them the distinguished Canadian writer, Agnes Laut; Thorn- ton Mustard. who was )ost in the sink- ing of the Athenia- soon 'after being appointed principal of the Toronto - Normal School; Arthur Ketchen, Dep- uty- Minister of Agriculture, Saskat- chewan, and others who have made their mark in various walks of life.

Is the importance of this question, which, is often so readily asked and Whiter is meant more', to serve asa conversation opener than to obtain. information, fully Felt? Is it realized that. now all men on this earth must choose between one side or the other and that no Cana- dian will be able to avoid ‚tbe penalty of economic and physical slavery which will be 'imposed upon U3 if we' lose? Are there still people in this .coun- try•who assume that this war -can be. won by letting the other man do it? Do we fully realize the horrible- ness of modern war; the horrors of being "blitzed," and the. many forms of torture which the people the Ger- mans have conquered are enduring? We Canadians are very fortunate in- deed that we live in a good country and it is .comparatively easy to earn,. a comfortable living, but will it re-. main se?" ' Unquestionably we are • a great, country and have the ability to over- come the German ideas and Nazt plans . which are attempting to obtain control of this country and of the world. However, unless we make the tremendous effort se very necessary, the Germans can and will conquer us ",Who is going to 'win the war?" We can and must, but only if we are willing to make sacrifices today will we be able to look forward to tomor- row with confidence and hope 'and the inner knowledge that' we, the pre- sent citizens of this great country of ours, and those who follow after us,, w:11 be dictated to by only ourselves.
