You will see two rubber dinghies in the foreground. They are the sort used by airmen when their 'plane comas down in the sea. 'One belongs to a Hudson aircraft of the British R.A. F. Coastal Command, the other to the British Sunderland flying boat in the background. The Sunderland. called to the scene of the first air- craft's .mishap owing to engine ed their dinghy and towed their trouble it had come down in Mid- Atla'nHc alighted in a rough sa and in doing so damaged one engine, and one of the floats, was carried away. The flying boat drifted in the heavy seas, away from the marooned men in tfieir frail rubber dinghy. They were too exhausted to row to the Sunderland, so the crew launch- comrades to the damaged flying- boat. Our artist has depicted the scene according to official British Air Ministry details.

Klngsdale 4344 'Another Chimney Fire' The home of Mrs. McGeoch and Mrs. Irish had a close call from a serigus- fire on Thursday evening last. The firemen were called by a passerby to what was supposed to be the usual chimney fire. Miss Irish heard the siren and wondered where the fire was. Thinking it might be their own place she investigatd and on her way upstairs heard a roar coming from the chimney and on entering the room found the paper on the wall, over a stove pipe h3le. starting to burn. By that time help had arrived and the fire extinguish- td before it had made much head- way. They found it paid that time to give a chimney fire alarm, as the flames might have made considerable headway before dis- covered. Criticism has been heard at various times of tjfe firemen being called for ordinary chimney blazes.

" FARM GIRLS TO RECEIVE BADGES FOR FARM WORK Ontario farm girls are needed to produce food on the home farm this ; ear. says Miss Florence P. Eadie. director of Homemaking Club work for rural junior girls. Women's Insti- tute Branch. Ontario Department of Agriculture. Farm girls, with vill- age, town and city girls, will be call- ed on this year as n-ever before, to aid in the production of food. Miss Eadie suggests that farm girls at home should now plan to assume responsibility for some par- ticular work on the home farm this year. She should assign herself daily work which might include the care of poultry and milking. Sea- sonal undertakings of importance would include the planting and weed- ing of the home vegetable garden. A physically fit and willing farm daughter could also help by driving horses or tractor and might assist in hoeing and other farm jobs. Girls from 12 to 26 years of age who are at home on the farm may register for farm service with the Ontario Farm Service Force. Application for registration should be made immediately to one of the following: leader Homemaking Club; Secretary of Women's insti- tute; County Home Economics Coach O r Florence P. Eadio. Women's Insti- tute Branch. Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto. The Ontario Department of Laboi will issue Farm Service Fore'e badges on completion of registration and certificates will be issued in Septem- ber to Rirls whose records show they have rendered National Farm Service.

Many young men and girls now urgently want to leave school or college and go into the war. into defence work or into a job. vacat- ed by someone. For some this may- be th right move, but for some it is not and may make a serious dif- ference in the reconstruction era in which they must prepare them- selves to take part. At least they should think before they act. We live in an age that demands skill- ed workers. If the war is a fairly short one and the after period runs true to form, it is the unskilled worker who will most quickly be out of a job. If it is to be a long war, it will demand more and mroe engineers, technicians. specialists of every sort and those now train- ing will be most useful if they stay in school and learn more. Test- fut- ure guardians of our cultural her- itage may be called upon to svvvo in the future as can no others.

This is cheap cxo'-- eise besides it is a pleasure to skate. NO SIDELINES NOW The entry of Japan into the war has brought more Canadians to the realization of the warning which people of this country have had for two years, that nobbing short of total war effort in Canada will be good enough to defeat the foes of free people. Now that Canada's western coast line is actually part of the battle front and now that we have the spectacle of unbounded energy set loose in the United Sta- es.there can be few people left in Canada who do not grasp the truth that no one in the country can es- cape some contribution to an allout war effort. Sometimes it is easier to do th spectalacular thing than it is to earn- out the drab duty. Workmen in factories can be carried on to almost superhuman efforts by the definite knowledge that their handi- work is neded desperately by the boys who man the guns. Sailors, soldiers and airmen can rise to heights of heroism knowing that the very existence of their country depends on them. But it can be harder for the civilian left at home to realize that his job is just as vital in its way as that of the war factory worker is. as that of the youth in the armed forces. Yet that is true. Canada cannot sup- ply the ships and guns and planes and ammunition unless her citeens nrovide the money. The issue <rf bonds being offered next month will meet peple who are in a new mood. The man or woman who was satisfied to buy a hundred dollar bond last June will likley feel the need now to Mtay five hundred dollars worth ^>r more. Few will limit his purchas of bonds now that the enemy is on Canada's d-vorstep. A Kansas woman fudge held court in her home, which is where the ladies usually lay down the law. Mrs. H. A. McCauley received a letter last week from Mr. and Mrs. Poutrlas Morsran of Calgarjf, Alta., expressing their appreeiatioWT>f the KHrket sent to them by the people of FK'sherton.
