Lorne T. McLaughlin, D.S.O., C.M. G., of Bowmanville, told members of Bowmanville Rotary Club on Friday. Col. McLaughlin was one of a Canadian clelegation to thet Coronation who later went as aE representative of the Canadian Legion to Qermany as'a goodwillt gesture. On Friday Col. Mc- Laughlin told the Rotary Club of the impressions he had of that memorable trip. His first insight into the spirit existing between the British and German races was at the Naval review in connection with the Coronation. Here the British of- ficers and crews mingled in a friendly manner and demonstrat- ed their manifest desire neyer to fight again. In Germany, the Colonel said, the delegation was treatecl with1 the greatest hospitality. The claily1 newspapers, h-e adcled, had oo1 inuch adverse news about Ger-1 xnany. Great Britain seems o1 have that peculiar faculty of be-1 ing friendly even with the enemy1 as soon as a war is over. A little4 more exercise of that same f acul- ty was needecl throughout the world, he sakl. The Canadian party was met by a guard of honor and a band play- hig God Save the King on their arrivaI in Oermany. Throughout their seven day stay, they were guests at many banquets ancl were taken on numerous trips. They were given ample opportunity to inspect the country at their leis- tire and were in no way conifined to official trips. Col. McLaughlin f ound the Ger- man people a friendly folk who were tackling a tremenclous eco- nomic problem wlth good success.

The change was macle necessary as the car is to be loadecl on the C.P.R. sidmng in Bowm.anville, commencing today. On Tuesclay and Wednesclay the farmers and citizens of the Newcastle district brought their offerings Vo the car which was located on the sicing there, and today the car was mov- ed to Bowmanville. We are reliably informed yes- terday that the response to the appeal is this year greater than ever. Both local service clubs, the Rotary and Lions Clubs, have do- nated $25 each o purchase pro- duce for the cars. One Darling- ton f armer informecl us that he was sending in ten bags of pota- toes, and many otiters have tele- phonecl for instructions as Vo where nroduce 15 Vo be taken or when Àt will be pickecl Up. If you have flot yet deciclecl o do your share, make Up your micl now and bring in your produce Vo the car at the C .P. R. sicing in Bowmianville. or phone T. H. Lockhart at 516 or R. M. Cotton at 611, and arrangements will be macle Vo have your produce brought to the car. If you live in the country, telephone your cir- cuit minister who will give you directions. Officiais of the committee in charge are optimistic that not only one, but two cars will be shipped. Present incications are that the first car will be filled to capacity and that another car will be asked for to ship f urther supplies. Even two cars will only do a small part in relievlng the distress in the stricken area. but it wiil let the people of the Chap- lin district know th2at the East has every sympathy with them in the recurring misf ortune of drought. Chaplin is a C. P. R. mainline station, midway between Moose Jaw and Swi.ft Current. Sask. It has a population of 500 people in the village, a.ndlof course quite a rural population.
