JJUITISH HKING DOWN ENEMY Ofiiaaiiy has been full-oul in her â- Stir attack upon thu iiritish Islc-s dur- ing the past week and they have suf- fered tremendous losses in Iheii 4ittenipt to bnnjf Britain to her ktiee^ by means of the bombers, Sunday 185 German bombers and titrlucrs were shot down by thi- British light- ers and anti-aircraft guns, the larg- est day's baK since the attack on the British Isles commenced. The British losses were in a ratio of seven planes to one. The German air attacks have caused tremendous damage to build- ings in London, some military targets but most of them were private dwell- ings and business blocks. Apparently the Gemans have made attempts on the lives of the King and Queen, as Buckingham Palace has been bomb ed on three separate occasions, som^ damage being caused. The British people are taking their reverses with wonderful calm and their determina- tion to withstand the air attacks and come out on top in the end, is grow- ing with each day passed. The de- mand is being made for wholesale raids un German territory by British bombers and fighters and give the Huns more than has been received. This will come in good time. At pre- sent the British attacks are centred on military objectives in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany, and prevent, as far as possible, the rush- ing of goods and war materials for the expected military invasion of England. It is an anxious time, but the authoritie.? there are making all the preparations they can to repel the inva.sion and chase the Huns if they ever attempt tho crossing of the channel. In the meantime the air force is candying on in a most courageous and glorious manner that is winning the plaudits of the world. those from the cities. The fall is the most beautiful time of the year. * • * * German airplane losses since the buttle of Britain started have am- ounted to 2,123 planes, including Sunday's losses. The loss of the planes will be felt by Germany, but the tremendous casualties of the aii personnel who were highly trained is greater. * * • • During the past year a number of our local young men have enlisted for overseas service, some of whom tiave already reached England. There are others still with us. Before they also leave it would be a fitting trib- ute to their sacrifice in serving their country for the people of .•â-  i.shertun to publicly give expres- -iun to their appreciation by holding a jiresentation for these young men before they depart and present, them with some suitable item, to remind them that their services are remem- bered by the people back home. Let us not delay any longer in this matter. HOLDFAST U. F. W. O. The September meeting of Hold- fast Club was held at the home of Mrs. John McWilliam with an at- tendance of 20. Mrs. Beaton presided and opened the meeting with singing. The roll call was answered by each member naming an article manufact- ured in Canada. Soldier socks were handed in and more yarn distributed. A paper on current events was read. The program opened with a solo by Mrs. A. C. Muir. The guest speaker for the afternoon was Mr. H. Bailey Dundalk. His subject was "Health," and he asked the question "Are we satisfied with the way in which our health is looked after?" Does the thought of having the doctor, fright- en us because we wonder if we can pay him ? He stated that there were two ways by which money could be derived to pay our doctor bills (1) by health insurance, which woiAd be on a voluntary basis (2) by each per- son paying extra in his taxes. This is a subject that should be widely (liscusse<l. A great deal of interest in the Club was aroused by Mr Bailey's address: Mrs. A. |L. Minck.'-- asid Mis. M. Hogarth gave a two-part song "The Co-op. Way." ' .Sides wor chosen for a geography msitch. The meeting closed with thi ainging of the Nati nal Anthem. The nc::t mreting will bo held at the home of Mi-s. Brady Irwin. FISHING NOT SO GOOD Trout fishing in this district this year was not as good as in former years, but even then some fine large trout were caught. Disappointment was felt that the famous Eugenia fishing grounds were not better, but this is easily understood when it is realized that hundreds visit the lake during the season and take some ot the trout away each trip. At the same time the natural increase is not enough to provide for the losses from various causes, and the government has not been restocking that popular resort as it should. Only a couple of thousand small fish wore deposited there this year, which is not enough. We understand that thousands of .=imall troHt have been placed in the S.vdenham river neai' Ow(n Sound on private property and any person wishing to angle must pay a one dol- lar fee for the privilege, while the Eugenia area is free and wotild .tervc the greater number of enthusiasts. Expert* state that with all the fish placed in the Sydenham river, very few fish are caught. In that same river we notice that there arc Rain- 1k)W trout and Brown trout together, «o how can the poor Speckled trout flourish. It seems that the Depart- ment of Game and Fisheries should revise their policy and refrain from Htocking private streams and place the fish in those where they will be the most benefit and in surroundings where they will have an even chance of siirvivinjr.
