still features the Canadian'push' down
the right bank of the Rhine towards
Emmerich, but this is the story of ,a
eight of .thrills, scares and sleepless-
ness that ended happily.
It was the 'night of March 26-27.
The Caiiadia i battalion was the Stor-
mont, Dundas and Glengarry High-
landers; .the forward company, led by
Major Wally Braden, of Bowmanville,;
the forward'platoon was No. 8, under
Lieut. Blair Giln our, of Ottawa, and

chison, of Cornwall.
It 'was . well on toward midnight 'b -e -
fore the Glengarrians had won their
objective outside the village' of
Praest, three Miles from Emmerich,
and while Cpl. Atchison settled his
Mee in a. German farm house, the
Colonelsent three•' of his scouts .out
ahead to test: enemy strength in the
moated castle of Offenberg, which lav
just ahead, while Cpl. George (Curly)
Davis, of Kingston, Pte. J. Shanks 'of
Timmins, and' Pte. Don Castle of St.
Catharines, made the liatrol. Stealing
'forward in the dark they reached the
castle moat and discovered a single
drawbridge provided entrance to the
castie.. And the bridge was guarded 1
by two sentries.
•
With- a Sten and a Tommy -gun,
Shanks' and Castle disposed of .the
sentries, while Cpl. Davis ran across.
the bridge' to the 'heavy., castle door.
In the moonlight he saw the barrel
of a • German Schmieser poking
through the door. He seized and de-
fleetedit just as it fired a burst of
bullets.
The Germans in the caste
now fully aroused.. According
. to"the^
C.orepral, there was enough noise to
alarm an, entire company, so. the three
scouts started back''toveards their
own position- •
But their return wr,s delayed. by
developments behind them:.. Just nice-
ly settled in his German Tarin- house
with its cellist filled with terrified wo-
men, children and a paralyzed old,
man, Cpl- Atchison suddenly heard
the noise of tanks about one field
away.
He and- his six men were without
anything more deadly than Tomnny-
kuns, except for a Piat, and in Atchi-
son's words, "The. Piat is a. held of a
good '.weapon, but you can't get out
and use it against a tank unless you
have a hole to get into." •
Moreover, from the sounds, he and
his .men judged there were at least
five, enemy tanks outside. They tele-
phoned back for. artillery 'assistance
and then crouched outside the fare$
house to defend themselves against

Where these Itrearns have been. of

of a comeback,' This year'12,000 have
been applied for, and ma ;doubt will

This ,year the Club will ask the

This is a new experiment in, wild life

"When Drew opened Ontario House
in London, England, as a haven for
servicemen and women I agreed it
was a fine idea. Since then his agent
there is handing out immigration
propaganda inviting •100,000 persons
from England to settle in Ontario,"
said 'the speaker. "This ie not the

'.•respect; "'the Tory' minority Govern='
ment has not been popular with the'
farmers in regard to setting up agri-
culture committees. England's prob-
lem in agriculture is producing. On-
tario's is distribution. I will ,go a
long way with yr. Drew ,fri his views
on England, but not as far as he
goes."
Mr. Oliver' said the Conservatives
got thousands of, votes last election
on their promise to clear up the stock
yards. The speaker said their con-
dition a year after Mr. Drew took
office was worse than ever.
Hundreds of cattle died from filth
iu those yards last year, and the farm
ere were not compensated one red
cent, Mr. Oliver continued.
Mr."•, idliver said` the Liberal and the
C.C4F. have np excuse. 'few. defeat-

need any, .he added.
"Mr. Drew has failed to aetomplfsh
any of his 22 promises, That is my
answer to those who say we should
have carried along with Drew."
"You will probably find a smear
campaigu against Mr. Hepburn in this
election. But it won't work. Mitch
Hepburn is the most outstanding po-
litical Ieader in Ontario today. •
In 1943, the Ontario Liberals learn-
ed it wasn't enough to stand on' a
good record. Some people leaned a
little too far to the C.C.F. on the left
and what happened but the ,. Tories;
whom nobody wanted, squeezed in, he
asserted.

and age in the Liberal party. .Lib-
eralism has a place 'for both young

Hugh Hill, defeated Liberal candi-
date in .North Huron •in the last elec-
tion, said the Liberal party will go
to the people with a new program
that will appeal to the tank and file.
It was announced that pressure of
work at Ottawa prevented W. H.
Golding, 'of Seaforth, Federal member
for Huron -Perth, to be present. He
sent his regrets. -
