They had, however, other ideas in regard to the use of the wealth which had come to their hands. Each man intended to enlist. Each decided to turn over his earnings, and! so today the Receiver General of Canada is enriched by a cheque of $41.25 to be used as they have stated for the Red Cross, the War Services of Can- ada, or for Legion War Services. There seem to be some places in Canada where income taxes and war profits taxes are not needed. Lac la Ronge may be one of them. These men offered what they had â€" their money and their lives. Bowden Lumber & Coal CO.LTD. LUMBER OF ALL KINDS Insulex, Donnacona Board, etc. There is a c105ed season on beaver in the province of Saskatchewan, but sometimes these animals are caught in traps set for muskrat and other animals. In these cases the trapper must hand over such pelts to the Department of Natural Resources. The pelts are sold at auction, and the Department allows those who reâ€" port and send in the hides approxi- mately half the value of the animals by way of payment. Four men were trapping muskrat in the vicinity of Lac La Ronge, Saskatchewan. Their names were Ragnar Victorson, Wm. J. Isbister, Rod Scrine, and Pete Isbister. Canadian beavers are paying for the war, not gladly but due to one of those unfortunate accidents which sometimes happen in the best regu- lated of our fur bearing families.

If we have grown more adaptable, have learned to eat . . sleep . . pray . at unwanted hours, we have also grown more neighbourly. We have learned the value of team work. A group of neighbours will combine to buy a stirrup pump and learn how to use it. Mr. Brown’s garden hose, Mr. White’s long ladder, Mrs. Black’s first-aid chest, are ready for gen- eral service. Miss Grey can leave her spaniel â€"â€" who is a bit of a coward when the bangs go off â€" with the Green family when she is needed for Air Raid duty. We share other things as well. We feel a special glow of pride when the son of Mrs. Scarlet, up the road, gets the Military Medal. We are sorry Pink back. The Prime Minister told us during the French battles that we ought to be proud if we had to share some dangers with men at the front. We are prouder still to-day, for now we are the front! Seamen, airmen, sol- diers, civilians, are all part of the garrison that holds our island fort. Things that seemed rather useless in the long months of sitting still are now of immense importance. The men in the searchlight posts, who combed the sky night after night in the long cruel winter, the anti-air- craft gunners, the listeners and obâ€" servers, the crews of the barrage balloons, all these are manning the front line. “I take my knitting out with me in my shopping bag,” said one wo- man, “in case of meeting a raid. I was caught at the grocer’s the other day. Mr. Grits is a Warden. He pushed us all into the cellar with the chests of tea. There I sat, do- ing nothing, when I cauld have turnâ€" ed the heel of my sock.” The banshee’s wail some have call- ed it! But most of us think of that strident instrument as a watchful friend. “Be careful,” it says, “don’t give the Germans a chance!” In a moment the busy street is empty ex- cept for the Air Raid Wardens, in their dark blue overall uniforms and their tin hats â€" our friends in shop and drawingroom and office â€" but now “local authority” stern in en- forcing the rule to take cover! Then the “all clear” and we are out again. Wartime life in Smalltown is at once simpler and fuller than life in peace time. We are all busy, often doing odd things at odd hours. We have learned to adapt ourselves. Pe'oples whose daily existences seem- ed to follow a course as ordered as that of the sun, now, like the Snark of Lewis Carroll’s poem, “frequently breakfast at five o'clock tea and dine on the following day.” The inevitable “stranger in these parts” took cover in a Smalltown public shelter this week. He politely asked the other inmates if it were the town’s first raid)! “If an Air Raid warning sounds before Church time," announced the vicar from the pulpit, “we will start our service-fifteen minutes after the all clear.” “Hitler‘s men call this place Hell’s corner," he was told. “We says to him â€" let them come!" The official name for the air-raid warning is the siren. Smalltown people of the refined sort call it the sireen. I have heard it called the syringe! To most of us it is the hooter. Officialdom gave it an occa- sional practice in the months of the sitting war, to accustom us to the “warbling note" of the warning, the sustained note" of the raiders past. Now, in the hitting war, there are still one or two people who find it hard to tell the difference between these varieties of sound. Having missed the first hooter, they are seen conscientiously trotting to take cover as the rest of the world comes out! “If some of us is killed,” went on Mrs. Ragg, turning her power- ful eye on a waiting customer who had, as she put it afterwards, a sort of nervous look, “which ain’t more likely than on the roads any day, it’s no worse than what our bOys got in France. I’ve me shelter and we goes to it. But when I hears them things come over I just says to meself: “Ah, me beauties, there’s some that’ll not get back.” We smalltown people treat the terror that flies by night and by day with contempt, as we think it deserves. “That air raid warning’s just chronic!" said Mrs. Ragg, who keeps the newspaper shop at the corner. “Seems old Hitler likes getting his ‘pTanes knocked down!“ We, too, everyday men and women Glimpses of Life in Britain Under Nazi Air Bombardmen ts and proud too, when little Joe is not one of those to come (By Kathleen Coyngham Greene, O.B.E.) 1 Thomas VanHorne, a resident of 'Lloydtown during most of the 82 ‘years of his life, was buried in :Lloydtown cemetery on Wednesday, 'rAugust 7th. Mr. VanHorne died on Ithe preceding Monday. He is sur- lvived by his brother, William, of To- ronto, and a sister, Mrs. W. Smith, {of Newmarket. I The funeral service was conduct- fed by the Rev. E.

Charles Elliott, a native of W00d~ bridge, died suddenly at his home on Wallace St. late Tuesday night, Au- gust 13th. Mr. Elliott, who was in his 64th year, was the son of the late Levi Elliott and Hannah Jane Wallace, both natives of Ontario. He retired from the blacksmithing busi- ness about 14 years ago and had been an invalid for the past few years. Surviving is a brother, Levi, of Woodhridgen BALING Hay & Straw Funeral services this afternoon (Friday) were conducted at the home by the Rev. C. W. Barrett of WOOd- vridge United Church.

London, Engâ€"Councillor James Pressnail, of Chatham, Kent, town council, created a “burning impres- sion” on other members of his c'oun- cilArecently. PRINTED IN GERMANY Spain placed an order same months ago with Germany to print Spanish currency. It was not long before Spaniards discovered duplicate num- bers among the notes. Soon they realized that the Germans had print- ed a duplicate set of notes and were using them to make purchases in Spain and to pay for espionage.â€" (From the Montreal Financial Times.) Taking :41 £5 note from his pocket andfi setting lighg to it he dgclaregi: “Look avt itZâ€"flames, smoke, ashes, dust. That is what your money will be if Englang falls}: Councillor Pressnail moved a reso- lution, which the council adopted, that the government should be ask- ed forthwith to mobilize the whole of the country’s man power and in- dustrial and capital resources, for the successful prosecution of the war. Yesterday two of us, Smalltown citizens, using an hour’s leisure to walk our dogs on the high ground above the town, heard a rattle of gun fire. Above us a bomber was dodging, now in, now out, of low- lying fleecy clouds, two little ’planes at its heels. Now the big ’plane was driven out into the open sky. The spit- fires were at it, darting, like silver bees in the intense July blueness. Then the German was smoking... was dropping...falling, in a slow, spiral dive. We held our breath and wished him a safe landling! With the honour of sharing the danger, the interest of sharing the battle, we ordinary people get quite often, the pride of seeing victory. Something, like an immense white leaf, broke away and: drifted 510wly ...slowly...with the wind, down- wards. The pilot in his parachute! ‘The instinct to save life is still, thank God, more deeply rooted in most of us than the instinct to kill. Two minutes ago the pilot of the bomber was the “enemy.” Now he was just a fellow man, hanging be- tween sky and earth, between death and life. “Seems old Hitler likes getting his ’planes knocked down," said Mrs. Ragg. We are all helping to knock them! Councillor Burns Note to Explain Meaning of Smalltown, members of First Aid Detachments, bicycle messengers, auxiliary fire fighters, telephonists at Report Posts â€" have all our part in the game. There is an alertness about us now, an exhilaration. We hold our heads higher, walk With a lighter step.

The involved parties thereupon stood up and the obliging clergyman stretched the ceremony to its utmost possible limits concluding with a lengthy discourse on the proprieties of social life. When the ceremony was over the couple were well tied. “Well,” said the visitor, “me and my gal want to be joined together; can you do it now?” Mr. Bredon signified his assent and asked for the lady. “I’ll bring her,” was the reply as he disappeared. About 1870 there lived in Rich- mond Hill, a methodist minister, the late Rev. John Bredon. A typical Irishman of the educated class, he was always ready for an intellectual combat in thepulpit, on the platform or in the press. or in the press. One morning while on this circuit ho‘ was walking on the lawn in front of the parsonage when he was accosted by an exceedingly rustic looking individual. “Be you the chap that marries folks?” he was asked. Mr. Bredon replied that he did jobs like that occasionally. The minister just had time to don his clerical robes when the parson- age door opened and the yOuthful aspirant ushered in a fine handsome looking young woman, dressed in the height of fashion, decked with the gayest ribbons and her face wreath- ed in smiles. Births, Marriages and Deaths or" as a local editcr put it several yearsl ago Hatches, Matches and Des- patches always form an integral part of a newspaper. In the history of Richmond Hill our births have not been without their incidents, our marriages not without their rom- ances nor our deaths without their solemnity. From the lighter side we find several amusing incidents. LOOKING BACKWARD By Paul L. Fox A WEEKLY GLIMPSE AT LOCAL HISTORY [j Maclean’s Magazine, 1 Yr. [3 National Home Monthly, 1 I”.
