Ea<;h one was successful in winning a prize. There were 14 prizes each for boys and girls and the contest was open to all under 19 years of age in the Grey-Bruce district. Credit is due their teacher, Mrs. C. Martin of Eugenia when her three pupils re- ceived prizes. Congratulations to the scholars as it is quite unusual that there should be threo winners from one school. The prize winners were: Murray Thompson, age 12, grade vl, won 3rd. prize ($10.(K) in war saving certificates) for his story entitled "Somewhere A Man Died For Me To- day". Ruth Graham, 13, grade VI 1, won $1 00 m war-ea*ing stamps for her story "No Order Too Large Or Too Small; and Eleanor McMullen, age 18, grade VI, also won $1.00 in war saving stamps for her story, "Always A Meeting Place". How The Soldier Get HU Pay Have you ever witnessed an Army pay parade? On approximately the fifteenth and last days of each month the Canadian soldier marches up to the paymaster, salutes smartly and picks up hii semi-monthly stipend. On pay parades the soldiers line ap first in order of rank - from N.C O. down to private - and then each group of ranks is sorted alphabetical- ly. The paymaster with a huge bun- dle of cash in front of him and guar- ded by an armed N.C.O., hands out each warrior's pay according to a list prepared by the Pay Office. Names are called out by an N.C.O. who sits at the paymaster's side and as the soldiers step forward, display- ing their identification cards to prove they are the legitimate would-be re- cipients, they sign their names beside their listing. Then they march in front of the paymaster, salute, take their pay, -tip back two paces, salute , and wheeling regimentally to their left or right, march away. The amount of pay each soldier re- cwves is governed by many circum- stances. Rank, of course, holds pri- ority. Each promotion means more t>ay, and the Paymasters of each un- t are kept busy readjusting their hooks to take care of these monetary boosts. The purchase of Victory Bonds by installmpnts, the payment of insur- ance, assignments to wives or other dependents, the fines for drunken- ness or loss of equipment - all these influence how strongly the ghost will walk. .â- Actually, the Army is only required to pay its civilian employees each month-end. The fifteenth of the month pay, called "Advance Pay," is a kind gesture by the military to help the soldier better adjust his or her finances. While soldiers cannot make loans against their pay, they canto be ad- vanced more than their allotment when going on furlough, when being transferred for temporary duty In a place where barrack accommodation is not available or when going on compassionate leave. All in all, the main difference be- tween the soldier and the civilian on pay-days is that the former lines up and salutes tn collect. One never hears any abjection to this regulation - discipline is as important on pay parades as it is on the battel-fields, and as far as Canada's warriors are concerned, where could one find a more pleasant way to illustrate dis- ciplinary teaching. TPR. JOE LITTLE ON DUTY Tpr. Joe Little has made such splendid progress from his wound.s that he is now able to be back on light duty. He is at present attached to a reinforcement unit. Tpr. Little was severely wounded in Italy on May 12th last. The first question asked by German airmen after landing by parachute in the metropolis was, "Is this Lon- don?" When our pilots bail out they ask, "Was this Berlin?"â€" -Punch. The unveiling of the Ceylon Com munity Honor Roll wil be held in Cey- lon Public School, on Thursday even- ing, August 24th.

RCAjF, England, June 6, 1944, No. 29. Dearest Mom; Well, this is it- As I dared to pre- dict to you not long, ago, all hell broke loose here this morning, and I could not help but think I was in your thoughts. . A thousand questions are at this moment racing through your mind as must be the case with count- less others at home. If anyone asked me. "What is an Englishmen's virture," I believe I could answer quite easily: he v/aits patiently and with confidence in the face of odds or anxiety for an out- come which he seems to know will come in its own good time. The reaction of these people- this morning to the news would surprise you. They talk quietly among them- selves â€" and most of them wear a smile of complacency on their faces- a smle of inward satisfaction, and they are recalling the years 1940-41 and what Jerries' aircraft did to their cities. But they're not filled with revenge â€" ^rather a desire to liberate those more unfortunate than them- selves. For I don't think London's smile will assume its broadest as>i>ect until Paris smiles. They seem to me to be related. They're show places that seem to be interwoven. I don't think there can be much doubt of the outcome. And the fact that Canadians were one of the three invading forces reassures me further. But at a time like this, people turn to God and pray. That is because they realize they finally need His help. What a pity it requires a thing so vital as this to reveal to some the worth of 'His intervention- Mother, please dont think me a sissy for saying this. I certainly wouldn't want that. Take your bible nd read carefully and slowly Psalms, chapters 4, 6, 20, 25. In them you find an answer to anyone needing prayer. In Psalms 42 amd 51 many times have I found peace both within my soul and within my mind. Often I become afraid and I turn to 42 and 51. Then I an rest and, yes, una fraid. Are you surprised or ashamed when I say I often become afraid? Don't he. I'm not ashamed to say it. Though I know a lot -who wouldn't. In Psalms 42 and 51 I find something I can find no where else. Perhaps, Mom, you wonder where I learned of the benefits of those particular chap- ters of God's word. Again, I guess, I should ask you not to think me a sissy or a good little boy who never does anything v/vong. Well . I'll tell you. I have a little Bible in Air Force blue leather given me by Aunt Deila when ' got my wings. When I was first in this country and on a long train ride, for want of some- thing to read to pass the time, I used to take this little book from my pock- et and read it. Then when I started flying it became a haibit. Bom CAREFOOT â€" To Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Carefool (nee Isabel Lough- eed) a daughter, Minerva Isabel.

GOOD CROPS THIS YEAR This district has harvested a fine crop Of grain this fall. All the grain has been cut and most of it is in the barns. Mr. Jas. Russell of Rock Mills last week threshed nine acres of oats and barley and had 350 bu- shels in the bins, the oats weighing 40 pounds to the bushel. They should make splendid seed oats. The past three weeks there has been an entire absence of rain and tlie pastures are very dry at the present time. OVERSEAS LETTERS The following letter was received recently by Mrs. John Nuhn from Flying Officer Geo. Mitchell, who is ill France with the RCAF; The cigarettes from your commit- tee come with such regularity that they tend to be taken for granted but I assure you they are appreciated. I am sure the people overseas in the last war were not so well looked after as those in this war. I know that I liave wanted for nothing since I came to England and Prance. I have been unfortunate in that 1 don't seem tc run into anyone from the home town over here. Lillian Bunt's husband visited our airfield for a day and it was pleasant to see him. Gregory Clark had an article in the issue of June 6th of the Star Weekly which told of the activities of our unit. Incidentally he is with us and gets as much pleasure as I do from the Flesherton Advance. We are both intensely interested in what is -happening in your town. The effort of the community Is wonderful but they may well be proud of the Canadian Army troops which covered themselves with glory in the initial assault. The Air Force boys certainly hand it to them. I was for- tunate in coming to Franco over the beaches which the Candaian troops had taken. I was proud. Again many thanks. George Mitchell.
