We know aur readers will be greatly interested. "A new link has been forged in the chain of comradeship which has long existcd between the peo- ple of Pontypool, Monmouthshire, and Pontypool, Ontario. This week a fair-haired, smiling bachelar from Canada's Pontypool "drapped in" ta sec for himself how the folk of the other Panty- pool live. He brought with him a message of good cheer fram his friends -back home," and, in re- turn, has received hospitality. Wearing the uniform of a Cana- dian soldier, Lance Bombardier Rabert John Payne - that is his name- is the first persan ta came fram Pantypool, Ontario, ta Pan- typoal, Mon. Although Bombardier Payne is spending only part of seven days leave from his unit of the Royal Canadian Artillery (on service in this country) in the Eastern Val- ley, he has already been the guest of the Pontypool Rotary Club, been made an hanorary member of Pontypoal Conservative Club, attcnded a meeting of the Council and met many praminent people, including Alderman Arthur Jen- kins, M.P. for Pontypool. "I will always cherish my visit ta Pontypool, and if I ever plan a honeymoon I could not ask for a better place than Pontypool ta spend it," he told a South Wales Argus reporter. "I am having anc of the most wonderful times I have ever had, and I feel very unworthy of al that has been donc for me. If at any time anybody from the tawn here vîsits Pontypool in Canada I hope they will receive as good a welcame as I have had here. I find the people in this locality very much like ourselves." Bombardier Payne is modest about his own accomplishments. "I am just an ardinary fellow," he says. But "back home" he was a member and Deputy Reeve (the equivalent of vice-Chairman) of Manvers Township Council, which administers the Pantypool dis- trict, and was commonly known as "The Mayar." "You people," he explains, "might calaur Pontypool a ham- let. It has a population of 200 ta 250, mastly of rctircd farmers.

Pantypoal, Ontario, is about 14 miles fram Lake Ontario and 55 fmam Toronta. It is in a general farming and potato grawing dis- trict, but alsa caters for a large number of taurists. There are many names ta recall ta the in- habitants that their farbears were settlers from the other side of the Atlantic. Fourteen miles tram Pantypoal is the village of New- casthe. Pantypoal itself is in the caunty of Durham, with the caun- ty of Northumberland adjoining. Bombardier Payne has served on the Caunties Council for Dur- ham and Northumberland, as wel as on the Township Cauncil. . Staklng the ClaIm His father remembers the Ponty- pool area whcn thcre was anly one house in the bush. Sameane settled there, called it Pontypool, and staked a dlaim for Monmouth- shire in an area which has a strang bond with North country folk. Bombardier Payne is of Irish descent. His great-grandfather setthcd in Canada. In the hast war about 35 men of Pantypool servcd with the Al- lied Forces. The names of five who fell are inscribcd on a me- marial in a Memarial Park. At prcscnt there are four men from Pontypool on service in this coun- try, and many more have joined up. A contribution ta Pontypool's Spitfire Fund was sent from her namesake tawn. In civil life, Bombardier Payne is a farmer, and he milked a couple of caws when he was taken an a visit ta the farm of Mr. George Morgan, Lawer Hause, Kemeys Commander. When Bom'ardier Payne at- tended Pantypool Council, thc Chairman (County Counillar Ar- thur James, J.P.) welcomed him an behaîf of the Council and town. "Wc hope you will carry back ta Canada the very gaad wishes of this Council," said Cauncillar James. Councillors T. R. Wiglcy, John Rosie, J.P., and Charles Joncs alsa welcomed Bombardier Payne. "You Councillars may well be proud of your services," said Bom- bardier Payne, in reply. He added that nowhere on his travels in this country had he been trcated marc kindly than at Pantypoal, Mon- mauthshire. Through him, Ponty- pool, Ontario, sent greetings, and he would return anc day with the gaad wishcs of Monmouthshire people for his folk. He cancluded a speech, which was interspersed with humor, with the toast, "My country, right or wrang. If wrang, ta be set right; if right, ta be kept right." FIFTEEN YEARS' SERYÏCE Wesley Fice On July 21, 1942, Wes Fice celebrated fifteen years of service with Goodyea~r. Wes first saw the light of day in Cplumbus, and it was there that he received his early schaol- ing. Previaus ta entering this plant he spent two years as an apprentice at an undertaker's es- tablishment. On July 21, 1927, he started in the Belt Dept., where he has worked ever since, with the exception of one year, which he spent in the Receiving Room. Wes married and bas three sons. One son, lierman, is in the navy, another son, Raymond, is working in the Hase Department, but expects ta get a caîl for the navy very soon. Another younger son is still going to school. Mrs. Fice is also warking at the Good- year, as she was recently cmploy- ed ta work in the Laboratory. Wes' chief hobby is the church. He is an ardent church-goer, and a very hard worker in church affairs. He also likes hunting, as you may see in the picture. -Courtesy Wingfoot Clan.
