The big bomb-er of which Mr. Har- ris is Flight Engineer is under the command of Capt. Zimmerman, an American fly'er with extensive ex- perience. and the crew includes J. H. W. Allen of Lon-don, England as navigator; H. Choutau, first officer, and J. H. Cook, radio officer. The big bomber landledl in Montreal and a. few days stop there enabled Mr. Harris to have a short visit in Rich- mond Hill. The plane is the Con- solidated Liberator 324, one of America’s- largest and longest range bombers, and many of them have seen- service in Europe with the RAF. The ship has four 1.200 horse power twin row Wasp engines, a top speed of 3130 miles per hour and a range of 3000 miles. It will carw Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Beatty and family of Capreol Visited the form- er’s parents over the week-end. We are glad to report that Mr. R. J. Beatty is improving nicely after his accident a few weeks ago with a runaway team of horses. We are very glad to know that Rev. MclKay was fortunate enough to not receive any personal injury on Sunday evening when another car hit his car on the 4th concession. Leonard W. Harris, som of Mr. and Mrs. William Harris, Arn-old' Street, paid) a flying visit to his home here Last week. “Bucky” as he is popu- larly known in Richmond Hill has been for some time now with the Ferry Command of the Royal Air Force and his duties in; this branch of the service have taken him to many distant spots and completely around the world. About 4.12 attended the Y.P.U. corn roast and all report a good time. \Mrs. Matheson anti daughter Dorâ€" othy, Mr. Donnelly of Ripley and Miss Kathleen Mathes-on of London spent a few days with Mrs. D.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Ross McKay, 5th line, on the birth of a son. Mfissi C. Heise had) the misfortune to catch her hand‘ in the electric wringer.

Mrs. Rathiffe has been pian- ist of our Sunday School and will be greatly missed in her usual place. At a meeting of the board» of Stewards it was decided to canvass the congregation for a free will off- ering towards the mortgage on the parsonage some time during Sep- tember. Then on November lst we will hold our regular fall annivers- ary service and a free will offering will be taken to make up the amount usually raised by the fowl supper which is being dispensed with for this year.

They have already made and sent in no less than 100 quilts ma- ‘terial for which has been donated. These quilts will both brighten and warm many a home in the bomb- ,s‘hattered districts of England. Flight Engineer Harris wouldn’t talk too much in detail about where they had been flying: the big- plane or where they are presently bound, but from autographs and by dqfies a load of 6000 pounds of bombs, and itself weighs 40,000 pounds. The wing Span is 110 feet. Painted on the sides of the ship is the inscription “Eight Ball" and the “African Sh‘aganalpp-e” together with a vivid painting,r of this queer animal whose heritage and1 identity has never been closely inwestigxated'. inscribed on the fusilage of the plane it was obvious the ship had' been around! the world at least once and' probably several times. Among the names and addresses were some from Egypt, other points in Africa, Eng- land, Australia and Trinidad. Mark- ings indicated« that it was in Cairo, Egypt on Monday, South' America on Tuesday, and in Florida and' Washington, DJC. on Wednesday. The old saying was “join the navy and see the world”. The 1942 RAF Ferry Command brings the saying up to date. “join the Ferry Com- mand and see the. world â€"â€" in a hurry”. The Mission Circle are asked to meet at the home of Mrs. Douglas Gee on Friday evening, September 25th for the regular monthly ser- vice. ' Mr. Richard Brock called on friends in the community Sunday ev~ ening. Keep October 9th an open date for a. card party to be heLd in the hall under the auspices of the War Work Unit to raise money to send‘ Christmas boxes to the boys. Messrs. Fraser Gee and Walter Smith have receivedl their call for a medical examination. Mr. Cake'bread is busy making im- provements about his home. Mr. John Williamson is spending a few days with friends here. When you consider that there are only six members of this dime club doing this work we think that their record will be hard to ‘beat. Their work is much appreciated by the branch of the R.S.W.A to which they belong and also by the Headâ€" quarters Who receive and forward the goods. In addition to the quilts they have made 12 ditty bags, 25 pair of sex, 2 sweaters, 1 scarf, 4 pair boys’ pants, 2 pair baby mitts and; 15 baby jackets.

If the pump is to be secured a higher priority rat- ing than the one secured} at first will be necessary. The water main has now been laid and work will start soon on the pump‘hous‘e building. If the pumping equipment could be se- cured the new supply would soon be in use but due to the demandl for such material in war work it is» poss~ ible the work will have to be post- poned until next spring.
