MCKILLOP YOUTH After deliberating briefly Tuesday night a coroner's jury at London in- quiring into the death of Ronald, Car- ter, 14 -year-old Seaferth 1aa, who died . from injuries received when his 'bicycle crashed broadside into a truck at Colborne and. Simcoe' Streets, Au- gust 12th, found that "we earnot at - 'tach any blame to the dtriver of the truck." ° The boy died at Victoria Hospital the day following the acci- dent. Winston Callaghan, aged 24, 40 Lambeth Street, the truck driver, said that the boy failed to see the ' truck until the bicycle was. in the in- tersection, and that he then apparent- ly became confused and took too wide a turn and crashed 'into the sicLe of the truck. "I was going east on Simcoe Street at about 20 miles an Mar. WIien I. was 100 feet from the intersection with, Colborne Street, I slowed down' and saw the boy coming from the north, about the same distance from the intersection as I was," Callaghan told the jury. "He was leaning over the bicycle. 1 blew my horn• and stopped the truck. The bey saw me and apparently be- came confueed and he took too wide a turn, crashing sato the truck." Thomas, Johnston, 512 Simcoe St., told of seeing the boy travelling fast .and coming down the centre, of Col- borne Street from the north. "The toy was sitting straight up en the bike, but Ire had lost control of the pedals. I think the got excited when he saw the truck," Johnston testified. He 'said the truck was stepped near the southwest corner of the intersec= tion for five or nix seconds prior' to the crash: • The boy's . grandfather}' William J. Harrison, Scaforth, told the jury the boy did not have a bicycle of his own but had often ridden those of other boys at nor me . Young Carter had been visiting' in the city at the home of a cousin, Wil- bert S. Everritt, of Simcoe Street, and was riding a bicycle belonging to a men:filer of the family. Dr. Fred Laney, who performed the post -Mortem, said . • that tbe boy re- ceived serious internal injuries in- cluding a'perforation, of 'the intestine and that death was due to shock re- ' suiting from these injuries. • Return Billfold But No Money When a Tuckersmith young . man lost his billfold, containing a sum of money and papers a week ago, he advertised the fact in The Huron Ex- positor. Two days after the paper came out he received the billfold through the mail, but the seven dbl- lars, which had been in it, was miss- ing. Police are investigating. • Win U. of W.O.

NEED STILL GREAT COMMITTEE SAYS Latest information oa the • purchase of War Savings Certificates and War Savings Stamps for this district shows a distinct failing off, according to the Seaforth committee. • Appar- ently pledges given during the last drive are not being maintained. rr Possibly the holiday season bas ac- couated in a large way for this less- ening of effort, but with this season Over the committee feels that • every one should now put their shoulders to the sybeel. Too much complacency may well spell the difference between sure victory, soon, or long years of suffering, pain and sorrow in atone- ment for slackness. - - Seaforth's monthly quota of $2,400- has 2,400has not been reached for three - months, figures maintained by the Seaforth committee indicate. 'rhe ex- cellent beginning which the Seaforth diatrict reported in April, when the objective was oversubscribed by a Iarge percentage, has diminished, un- til in July the returns were less 'than half the objective. A possible incentive to increased purchases, particularly among chil- dren„ will be a new issue of war sav- ings stamps, designed particularly -to appeal to school children, which wilt go on sale at the post office het'e ie the near future. The stamps, called the "V For Vic- tory" series in the post office bulle- tin, will be issued• in a series of ,eight different •designs depicting Canada's armed forces in the air, on the land I and on the sea. The stamps are cont° iried in books which have a total value of $10. EV - cry book contains five pages of sav- ings stamps, eagh of different' design.

Lady in England Appreciates Gift Miss' Jean- Habkirk, daughter 91 Mr. and Mrs. Errol H1bkirk, of McKillop, some time ago knitted a jacket which was forwarded in a Red. Crd'ss bundle to England. She has reeeived the following acknowledgment from the recipient there: 28 Brookend Rd., - Sidcup, Kent, England. Dear Jean: In answer to your little 'letter I received in a 'parcel from the Red Cross, I must thank you and your friends'in Canada for the wonderful gifts. Your jacket fitted my daughter lovely, although. She is only, eight, rather igh,rather a big girl far` her age. I ave two daughters, Pamela, the eldest, and °Pauline, who is six. They were delighted, when .1 read your letteeto them and askedto reply for them. I was very eased, too, as I am a Canadian yself. I was born in Brat}tford,• Ont., but came to England when I was nine during the last war. I still have a Silver Cup presented to me by • the City of To- ronto foVbeing born in Leap Year, 1908, so you see, Jean, it is lather a strange coincidence that your letter should find me. . Well, • Jean, we have had some rougih times during the air raids. They have dropped all :ardund us. The last one they dropped blew me along the passage, over a chair where I landed up against the kitchen door. I got up, put my head into the kit- chen' to see if • my family were all right as they were under the table. We had our windows blown out and the tiles on the roof were lifted up. Still I thank God we are safe and sound. We have been very fortunate lately as we had no raids for 'home weeks now, so Letts .hope • they have finished. Well, Jean, I must close now, thanking you again for your won- derful gifts and give my kind regards to your Mummy and Daddy. Hoping this finds you all right, so let me know if you received this letter. So Cheerio and God bless you all. . From a very grateful friend, A. BRIND The following is an excerpt from a leading English newspaper, which should be of interest to everyone who has helped to bring' comfort to the people of that beleaguered island: "Having• had. the good fortune to help unpack some, of the • superb clothing and quilts, etc , sent here ay Our Canadian Dominion and United °lates sisters, may [ Mae 'that every opportunity be taken to show them to the clothes rationed public? Scraps of material have b..uit used in a fash- icn generally-forgotteabere, and such examples of housewifely • success would be most helpful now. Our gratitude to the ovetsess donors will be deeper, if pc'ssrole ter their help in helping us to help ourselves." This, arid the never ceasing- flow of t.rnnks which comes to us from over- seas, should be sufficient incentive to us all who play a role In alleviating c;istress. • Although sometimes it may seem to the 'women working for the Red Cross in the Province that their efforts go unheralded. This is not so! Head - Quarters are acutely aware of the good work that is being done . anti their appreciation is manifold and is ca..ly foreshadowed by our desire to do all that is possible for those who are being called upon to sacrifice ev- en life itself. * * * Help Keep the Jam Kettles Boiling "Last week we asked for donations of apples fore the Making of jelly for overseas shipment, 'and; to our great delight we received 119 pounds of sugar, 411 quarts and 28 quart baskets Of plums and so many apples we gave up counting.
