D J.C., Halifax bomber pilot, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Palmer, Dundalk, arrived home Saturday midnight on a imonth's leave. Hundreds turned out to watch as he rode along an avenue of torches held by 'teen-age boys to a flag decked stand where Councillor A. D. McAllister made a speech of welcome. Wing Cmdr. Palmer, who left Britain by plane on Friday morning and landed in Montreal the same day, said the BritiS'h people never de- spaired of victory in the darkest days of this war, and are confident that it is not far oifif now. He received the DJP.C. from King George for a law-level attack on enemy searchlights at Flensburg. He left Canada in Septemlber, 1941, as a sergeant-pilot. His twin brother, Sgt. James Palmer is in the educational department of the R.C.AJ". overseas. Engagement Mr. and Mrs. James Oliver of Priceville, announce the engagement of their daughter, Sadie Christina Janet, to Mr. John Wier Ritchie, son of Mrs. Ritchie, and the late Mr. Edgar Ritchie, the marriage to take place on Saturday, June a4th. Wing Commander Palmer was the guest speaker at the Rotary Club meeting in Markdale on Tuesday evening, when he gave some interest- ing information of the working of the Bomiber Command and the pre- paration made for a bombing raid. .His unassuming manner in telling about the work of the bombers was noted, but many would have been pleased to hear of some of his ex- periences. While Charlie had been awarded the DistinguisTied Flying Cross, he stated that while he had been given the decoration, it was really won by all memibers of the crew, who were equally meritorious and deserved such a decoration. Charlie Palmer is a credit to the great tradition of the Royal Canad- ian Air Force. The editor of The Advance was privileged to be a guest of the Rotary Club on the occasion and greatly enjoyed the talk of Wing Commander Palmer. Card of Thanks I wish to express my sincere thanks to friends and neighbors for their many acts of kindness and symipathy to myself and parents at the time of our sad beref.vement. â€" Lawson White.

This is your call to service. May be your son or btother or that fine boy across the street are in the thick of the fight and will need your help to sur- mount the effects of wounds which otherwise might prove fatal. Who knows but that the blood of those given during the past four clinics, might have been used to keep life flowing in the district boys who were wounded recently in Italy: Sergt. Bill Kerton, TIpr. Jos. Little, and others. With the invasion now in progrress many more local boys will be wound- ed and will need the life-giving blood plasma. Last clinic over 120 gave their blood. Could we not have more Friday mornig? There are many people in thS district who have not attended! either of the clinics and to these we ask that they come out and do their part to keep the soldiers living, so that they may i-eturn home and partake of the privileges enjoyed by those at home.
