His description of the episode was most amusing though he confessed 3-B.ii ;i uaqji Auunj sb uiaas ;,i;pip u happening. The mid-unper gunner had been the only member of the crew injured. Explaining that he had been navi- g'ator on Halifaxes. he said that most of the raids he was engaged in were on synthetic oil plants in Ger- niany, which, he claimed, were about the most heavily defended points in Germany. The remainder of the raids were on French targets, most- ly in daylight. The British Mark 14 bomibsight is one of the best that has ever been invented, he said, and was very accurate. He confessed he hadn't the faint- est idea when the war would end, at the same time expressing surprise at the amount of punishment the Ger- man people had taken. There are very few German aircraft over Bri- tain now, he said, stating that about the only ones are Heinkels which venture over the Thames Estuarv with V-2 bombs. .All told he had flown 172 hours and 50 minutes while engaged in raids. Answerir^g questions as to the diet overseas. Bill said they had R.- A.F. rations and that they were verv good though they p-ot monotonous. He had taken a skunner. howevef. to the sausages (wliich were 90 '^ bread), cabbage and powdered eggs. "T never want to see another Bruss- ells srprout," he declared with em- phasis. Delmer Brown of Riverview was on the same station, thoueh he (Bill) did".-t realize it till he saw that someone else was receiving The Herald there. "The first four or five trips are the worst." Bill confessed to his au- dience, addine that he was scared all the time. "WTien you get 27 or 28 trips to your credit and think you might get through, you get reallv «--ired all over again for fear you -^iehtn't". Bill said much to the amusement of the audience. i Prominent Artemesia Citizen Passed Atvay Monday (By Ceylon Reporter) There came to a close a long and useful life early Monday morning bf this week March 12th, when James Leslie McMullen, pasesd away at his home near Ceylon, in. his 86th year.

Red Cross Workers Are Unsung Heroes of The War .A.lthough the Canadian Bed Cross is a vast organization for the relief of suffering humanity. It is only as big as the women in the cities, towna and communities make it. For the Red Cross is organized neighborli- ness â€" what a woman would do for the people next door if they were ill or in distress. Throughout the world today in China, Greece, Russia and the other United Nations, there are neighbor* who urgently need help. And it is the Canadian women â€" through their Red Cross â€" who will labor and toil that the cry for help may be answer- ed. For the wome" -* Canada are the unsung heroes of this war. Day in and day out little groups of workers gather regularly to ent, sew, knit, quilt or perform such var- ious other tasks which spell conrforts and hospital supplies for soldiers ani civilians alike. Since the ont'oreak of war th« combined efforts for these littl» gatherings have meant 39,000,00> articles of comforts and snrgioail supplies for the men in the Canadiaa -Armed Forces and military hospitafiu Canadian quilts have become famoo^ among the people of BritaiT who wrapped "-hemselves in them i<V j --Tmth when they spent their night* i in the air raid shelter. 1 In the dayi; to come the peonies of . the liberated nations will bless the i names of Ca^ac'-an women for their ''â- â- '"'ness and generositv in makings '-â- *- a little more bearable.
