"‘On our way hers from England, we lost practically everything we had or possessed. Can‘t tell you exactly where but we were attacked one evening by a few of the Jerry planes and our ship was torpedced and later sank. It was sure a grave situation for a while, as a person does feel so helpless with noâ€" thing but miles of water around you and nothing you can do. My chum and I were sitting on our top bunk playing cards at the time in the stern, where our quarters werse, when it struck the ship about the middle. We were given quite a scare as we were thrown quite aâ€"distance. The raid had been going on for some time but we didn‘t see so much dangex until it actually hit. Our u‘ ng‘ down Als') saw sovmal planes q.,down As we stood on deck and dered if the water was very cold, they ordered us to abandon ship. That meant to get overboard and try for raft; This was changed for a litt,le while then and there we stood. Next thing the order came again, and no sconer had it when we saw another ship coming to get us. We got into the water, kind of chilly alright, and must say there were a lot of pretty scared men too for a while. *"The other ship came up within a t distance and we made our way to it, and were there ever cheers when tthe other ship came in sight. It was quite a difficult job to get to the other ship and then to climb a rope ladder of another 100 feet. Getting on board was also tough. Presently we made it and were given dry clothing, blankets and coffee. Thcey really used us swell. We were separated from our officer, but rejoined. him and othery on arriving in Italy. "It was quite an experience and one 'We often talk over. We landed here as survivors and had to get equipped again.

This year parliament was held at Kitâ€" chener, where I arrived at eleven o‘clock Monday morning, nmy other fsoys from all over Ontario were arriving at the same time. We were welcomed by a Trail Ranger committee and from thy;:e we proceeded to the Kitcehner Zion Evangelical Church where all the sesâ€" zions of parliament were held. There were 66 members and all were friendly and sociable. We met the premier, Bob Lederman, of Kitchener, and the leader of the opposition, Bob Henderâ€" son, from Brockville. We then had the oath of allegiance ceremony where all the boys signed their names under the oath of allegiance reading as folâ€" lows:â€" I hereby promise that IL will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the King of Kings. This was a cereâ€" mony which impressed all the members and myself very much and something that we will never forget. Each day was started by morning worship in which the fellows themselves conducted the service and gave strmons. on varâ€" ious subjects. All members took part in the Leadership training classes which prepare us to te better leaders among boys. I was fortunate to pass the exâ€" amination on Leadership training and earn my certificate.

Special 'to The Advance. ' Once more the students of our High |School have szored an immense success ,m producing a play. Buddy Rosebrugh had a real part in taking the role of "Buddy Cahart"â€"goâ€" ing on seventeen. After the applause given him all through «the three acts Buddy must know he was a tremendous success. Not less so were his two pals, each really good in different waysâ€" Paul (Jack Anderson) and "Skinny‘"â€" (Jack Jay). These three, with aspiraâ€" tions toward producing a "magazine" were typical teen age lads who dressed, spoke and acted as modern youth of that age does. Jean Carruthers who scored a real success in last year‘s play, may add anâ€" other laurel to her crown. She was "Florence" and handled her beaux with proper care, even if the steady standâ€"by let her down in the last act by proving to be the villian of the piece. that age does. Elsr (Marjorie Fera) as the maid played the part welll She sang lustily if not tunefully and we were constantly reminded by her that "A Kiss is Still a Kiss,." even if slightly off key. Congratulations to the actors. The play was extremely well cast; the setâ€" tings good; the timings accurate:; there was no hesitation, nothing to interfere with the smooth running of the plot; and the attention given did not flag. Our applause was vociferous. It is nnot the thing to separate any one player from the rest and say he or she was the star in a High School play. We should like to hand (a bouâ€" quet though to Miss Jean .$. Adamson whose impersonation of the mother (Mrs. Cahart) in the play was excelâ€" lent. Her manner as well as her apâ€" pearance was convincing and natural. The actual play was a good one. The plot was good. It was extremely suitâ€" able for the players. It was humorous, both intentionally and occasionally unâ€" intentionally. But besides holding our attention as to the outcome of the situations inâ€" volved, the young players were so naâ€" tural that they appeared not to be actâ€" ing at all ! They gave it on Thursday to a full house,. and on Friday evening to one filled to overflowing, so much so that the Principal, Mr. Ralph Ellis, announcâ€" ed that it would be produced again on Saturday night to take care of the peoâ€" p‘a who were crowded out on Friday. Now, people as a general rule attend a High School play because they know the young actors or to support the good cause, or to show their good citizenship. Sometimes they really are entertained sometimes they really are entertained and come away marvelling (as we did on Friday night) at the versatility and understanding, and real talent displayâ€" ed by our ‘teenâ€"age young people. This time it was "Going on Sevenâ€" teen"â€"a production which was just the thing for girls and boys of that age.
