(ne( A cousin in England last week si>nt Mr. Richard Booker an unusual sort of souvenir of the Nazi air raids on | Britain. This souvenir suggests a num. :‘ber of thoughts, among them being " the fact that it was dropped in a part of London where there are no war inâ€" t dustries or military objectives and so under international law and ethics there should have been no bomb dropâ€" 'ped in that locality at ali. A second ‘thought is that international law is against the use of shrapnel in bombs. ©hrapnel would have little destructive value againsit buildings, but would add [ to the danger of injury to civilians. The [ use of shrapnel in bombs thus suggests |that the Nazi intention is not to damâ€" age military objectives so much as to harm civilians as much as possible. Publisbed at Tmmins, Ont.., Canada Kvery MONDAY and THURSDAY The piece of shrapneéel sent here was picked up in a garden in Putney, Lonâ€" don. It is about three inches long and an inch or so thick, with nasty ragged edges that would make a painful and dangerous wound should the piece of shrapnel strike a human target. The shrapnel looks more like "slag" than anything elss and no doubt was made by melting down various kinds of metal. It was picked up after a bomb had exploded in the garden and was one of a large number of similar pieces of shrapnel thrown in all directions when the bomb exploded. Luckily, this parâ€" ticular bomb did not do much damage, none of the people in the vicinity com. Ing within its range and the shrapnel itself being of little value in the work of damaging the buildings nearby. Miss Lila Brosseau spent Chnristmas at her home in North Bay.
