Huge Implement A giant trenching plow weigh- ing four tons is now at work in England turning acres of water. logged ground into land which will yield crops next year. It is an ingenious trenching im- Dement designed in the north of ingland chiefly for use in land drainage. The new machine cuts ¢hannels to a depth of two feet nine inches at a rate of a hundred yards in four minutes, The base of the trench is eyt by a share; while cutters carve the sides, the earth passing up in- clined boards to ground level where "it is formed into equal xidges on each side. The imple- ment is hauled by a pair of wind lasses, driven by two diesel en- gines placed at each end of the field. One windlass pulls the im- plement along when cutting, the other returns it into position for cutting. the next trench. The standard windlass employ- i for this work by the designers as a range of gears with differ- nt speeds for different soils, and Ju winding drum carries 460 ards of steel plow rope. . The implement can be hauled {by the steam cable engines used i plowing and cultivating, or by he large types of direct tractors. In the Zuider Zee reclamation, $f machine from the same design- prs cut {wo million yards of trenches in '20 20 minktes: Bomber S. 2 On Record Hop A record time for the eastward crossing of the Atlantic of 8 hours 23 minutes was made by a - four-motored Liberator bomber that arrived in Britain recently, the . Air Ministry reported. Cap- tain 0. P. Jones piloted the plane throughout the trip. The previous fastest wesl-east time of 8 hours 46 minutes was made by a Liberator--the Amer- ican-built Consolidated B-24 -- and a Boeing Flying Fortress. Captain Jones is a former Im- perial Airways and British Over- seas Airways pilot and has flown about 2,000,000 miles. Last June- he pildted "the British plane that inaugurated the London-Lisbon ¥al service, SO "DAVE" WILLIAMS A LIFE OF SERVICE "Dave" Williams, editor of the Collingwood Enterprise - Bulletin, , is this month to receive the hon- oracy degree of Doctor of Civil Laws from the University of To- ronto. He Is an outstanding ex- ample of what can be accom- __ plished by a lifelong resident of a comparatively small community; of what can be accomplished in service not only to that commun- ity, but-to his fellow men in a much wider field, . Although he was born in Perth county, he has lived in Collingwood since he was four--and he is now 72. He has . been bb years in newspaper 'work there; editor of the town's weekly paper for 46 years. In addition to his local journa- listic activities, Mr, Williams has busied himself with an astonishing number of: outside interests. He . has been associated for many . years with various press organiza« tions, Red Cross societies, library boards, Historical societies, hospi- tal- boards; Canadian- Club, Board- of Education, Horticultural Soci. ety, Board of Trade and the Great ~ Northern Exhibition, He' has been mayor of Collingwood, ~~ frinity United Church he been 'a member of the financial stewards, and seven years chair- man 'of finance.

The extra 2,000 parcels are an insurance that everybody gets one, The first lap was to Lisbon; the next to Marseilles; then on to Geneva, and so to Germany. In each box was a Christmas pudding, a double ration of choco- late, chocolate biscuits, rye bis- cuits, jam, margarine, roast pork and stuffing, a tin of steak and tomato, condensed -milk, four ounces of sugar, two ounces of tea and a Christmas cake. 7,200,000 cigarcts went off at the same time in separate- packages of 100--a double ration for each man, The value of this Christ- masvgift is £36,000. : Nor has the Red Cross forgot- ten the little band of eleven Brit- ish children in German intern- ment camps.

A despatch fom Cairo in the mid. dle of last week stated that be- tween lulls in the" gunfire, the sound of the bagpipes could be heard puttin, fresh heart into their comrades, A later despatch told of the joy with which a Highland regiment heard the skirl of the pipes coming from up in front, That was a pre-arranged signal that a certain point had been cap- tured. reference Colors 'In Action In olden days bands used to play the regiméuls into action. The colors of the regiment were carried into the fight too, and th. wusie and the colors were great sources of inspiration. When theso customs were abolished, the bandsmen efth- er went into action, too, or acted as stretchor-bearers, It seems, however, that the Scots' pipers go into action still, to fnspird and encourage. thelr com- rades, 'Scots are. stirred by the story of the capture of the heights of Dargal during the Chitra cam- paign In northwest India in 1897, the hero of which Piper James Findlater of the Gordon Highland. ors, is still living, and visited rela- tives in Canada a few years ago, Twice, English regiments had at- tempted to storm the heights, but were driven back by a withering fire. Then Colonel Mathias rode up to his men and said: "The gen- eral says that hill must be taken. The Gordons will take it."

For some time now the Italians have been be- coming increasingly restive since they are finding by bitter experi- ence that as Hitler's jackal they get remarkably few tit-bits, A most interesting article recently appeared in an English newspaper by an Englishman who has lived in Italy for many years and who was very recently a prisoner in Tuscany. The writer says that Italy is subjected by the Nazis to almost as much indignity as a conquered country. There is Ger- man control on all railway sta- tions, German supervision in seve eral centres, and the Italian scc- ret police takes second place to the Gestapo. Food is exceedingly scarce; the Italians have had no butter since they entered the war, and they have meat only once a week, The main reason for this is that the Germans hive annexed most of their products such as oil, fat, oranges and lemons, Ilit- ler adopts his "bleeding white" policy towards his friends as well as towards his enemies, 1941 Farm Income Higher Than 1940 Increase of 46', Million and Trend Production The prairie trend to mixed farm- ing was exemplified in figures of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics _showing that farm income for the first nino months of 1941 was sub- stantially higher than for the same period in 1940.
