AU that I remember was a terrific `Bang' close by. The cinema we had just vacated suffered a direct hit by a high explosive bomb. The casualties were ironical- ly enough several of the cinema staff still in the building. Had it have been a few minutes earlier the outcome would have been catastrophic in casulaties. Notably too, also ironic, was the name of the film being shown "Gone with the Wind." During that darkest and most traumatic time of the war for Britain and her allies, most of whom were from the overseas common- wealth countries, the abbreviated German word of `Blitzkreig' more commonly became known as the `Blitzes' which in our language was synonomous with the continued heavy areil bombardment on all British major cities for mangy, months on end: Coventry with it's tremendous industrial output of war supplies Have you trued THE NEW EOCisitor CASH & CARRY CLASSIFIED CORNER HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT.

Jim Campbell was the hero for the Seaforth squad, showing his true form early in the game by rounding up four goals in the first period. John Dale and Dan Wesenberg got the other first period goals for Seaforth. The defense limited Exeter to one goal. In the second period Jerry W right got two goals for Seaforth while Brian Steckley, Campbell and Mike Betties each added one. Exeter was again held to the one goal per period limit. In the third period Mike Betties recorded two goals and Barry Campbell got one. Exeter scored once. The Centenaires play their next home game Friday at 8:30 p.m. against Lucan.

That was to end suddenly, and devastatingly, on November 14, 1940, when the enemy gave us his absolute undivided attention and used several hundred bombers to concentrate an all-out attack on the city.. I was worldng on the night shift that week, and it was on the Thursday night. I had to cross the entire city to reach my place of employment. It was while making that journey to work that the air-raid sirens were sounding the alert in the early evening. Finally reaching my destination and making the short walk to our plant gates, I had some time to spare before `starting -time'. There, gathered together in groups were many of my colleagues, all of whom were looking in the direction of the city. The elevation from that point was high which provided a view of the whole city two miles away and what we all observed we sure as hell did not like. Descending in huge clusters suspended from parachutes, dozens and dozens of flares were illuminating the whole area of the city. Huge flares, with their phospherescent light. Suddenly all hell seemed to let loose when batteries of anti-aircraft guns and search- lights close to our plant went into action. The noise was ear-splitting, but somewhat comforting as we dashed towards our air-raid shelters. We never did start work that night. The pencil -like beams from those powerful searchlights were seeking out in the blacken- ed sky the enemy aircraft to aid the gunners. To be caught in the open during such times was extremely dangerous more from the large and small fragments of our own anti-aircraft shells than anything else. An extraordinary burst of flames could be seen as one of our many barrage balloons were being shot down. The veritable hail of thousands of incendary bombs raining down on the city and it's environs soon had it's desired effect for the enemy. Building after building became raging infernos in scattered parts of downtown, creating an almost impossible situation for the valiant and noble efforts of the many fire -fighting forces. Not much conversation was being engaged in as we sat on those wooden benches in the comparative safety of our air-raid shelters listening intently and cringing at the sound of every bomb burst emanating from the direction of the city, hour after every unbelievable hour, until almost dawn. Noticeably, but ironically, our anti-aircraft guns consecutively stopped firing as each battery ran out of ammunition. There we were, unalterably, at the complete mercy of the enemy. A few stray bombs landed on the railroad tracks quite close to our plant which sort of shook us up, a bit. As dawn broke through that November morning we all emerged cautiously from the shelters bleary- eyed and somewhat bewildered. There was a heavy mist covering the ground together with a slight frost as we glanced towards the city above which could be seen a red glow, an ominous sight to say the least. No "All -Clear" had sounded, there was no electricity, There were no busses running to lake us home. W e were to learn later that the entire fleet of busses which served the whole city, some two or three hundred of them, COUNTY APPOINTMENTS HURON COUNTY COUNCILLORS Appointments are made each year by the County of Huron for three non- members of Council to The Huron Coun- ty Public library Board.

Many of my colleagues appeared sort of irrational, muttering to themselves, as if in some kind of Shock It seemed to be as I stood on the edge of the sidewalk, like some kind of bad dream. I shivered slightly not knowing exactly what to do until one of my friends hollered from his car window, "You want a ride to town Allan?" Gracefully and thankfully I accepted. That's what I thought at that time, until we encountered the first bomb crater, less than a quarter -of -a -mile away which luckily we were able to negotiate, but not the next one a few hundred yards further along. Forced to abandon the vehicle, we started to walk, there was no alternative. The ultimate in vileness, infamy and horror stretched out in all directions as the red glow in the sky beyondstill permeated that early dawn as we began our efforts to walk home, not knowing exactly what to expect or what to see, or anything until we became confronted with the diabolical scenes. At least We were still alive. As a group we soon took off in various directions to make our way homewards but constant detours were necessary due to signs -signifying "unex- ploded bombs". Or maybe your -route ahead was impassable because of still smoldering debris of totally destroyed buildings. Lending a helping hand to someone in distress, the sight of corpses laying there awaiting disposal, some humanely covered, all com- bined to make an ungodly and macabre scene. It dulled the senses and aroused vengeful anger within you, while trying desperately, but somewhat incoherently, to combat a feeling of helplessness. It took me the whole of that morning to finally reach my sister's house, a mere three miles, but it was more of a struggle than a walk together with what seemed like a lifetime of agonizing horror which became indelibly impressed upon my tormented mind and not an experience that I would ever again want to repeat. I was virtually exhausted. Pausing momentarily at the garden gate at the house I saw with much disdain that most of the windows were blown out by bomb blast, upstairs and down, the chimney pot on the roof was somewhat awry. Apart from that, all else appeared not too bad for damage until I ventured around to the rear of the house where we normally entered. All was completely shattered and deathly quiet. Finding no one in our bomb shelter my whole body shook with concern for my sister and her family. Frenzidly I rushed back into the street to enquire of anyone, about the whereabouts of my family. As one may assume not many people were around. A steel -helmeted air-raid warden whom I accosted, suggested that i try the local rest center in the nearby ' church. Unbelievably, all three were there and physically unharmed but suffering slight shock, there was quite a reunion. They in turn had suffered for my safety. Nonchalantly, my sister asked why it had taken me so long to get home from work. My reply was but a slow shake of the head coupled with an assuring smile.
