"It is certainly sple | but I have no idea why | get it," said the flight lieutenant when informed of the second des- patch containing confirmation.

"You know, I have been out of touch with things since returning to Can- ada, but I imagine I shall receive formal notification of the award tomorrow or thé next day."

From east of Brussels to the | Channel, Barton was in the air for hours on end, carrying out recon- naissance operations.

Nor was I woundzd during that engagement. 'The Germans don't like reconnais- sance planes and often make it very hot for us." Born in England in 1918, the year the first Great War ended, young Barton was brought to Canada by his parents the following year. He was- educated at Pickering College, Newmarket, and joined the Victoria and Haliburton Regiment, a non- permanent militia unit. In 1936 he went to England and enlisted in the R.A.F., training as a pilot. Later he joined an -army co-operation squadron and last March was pro- moted to the rank of Acting Flight Lieutenant, An older brother was killed in England recently in the crash of a bomber.

The Ford plant in Canada was doing a great deal of work to assist Can- ada's war effort. T. L. Church (Conservative, To- | ronto-Broadview) was bitter in his | condemnation of Mr. Ford and all | his associates in the parent com- { pany. Mr. Ford, he sald, was "the | chief isolationist against Britain | and France," and ought to be | "quarantined." 1 The parent company "banned for all time" so far as Can- ada was concerned, Mr. Church | said. "Henry Ford is a menace to | the freedom and civilization of the world today." The House Special passed the War Revenue Tax Act covering the | | new war exchange tax of 10 per cent on importations, and th? auto- mobile taxes, and dealt with the | Excess Profits Tax Act, which was | amended slightly in respect to ad- | ministration. Finance Minister Ilsley Government would make no excep- tions to the War Exchange Act as ON REVENUE ACT should be | said the! requested by Western members who | desired to see farm implements and | parts exempt, | warned Chapman.

She was on the | opposite side of the river and con- | sequently could give no help her- self, Standing in a canoe while fish- ing in Rice Lake near Keene nearly cost the lives of three American tourists. Scott Gettman and Paul Bell of Hanover, Ohio, rescued L. Lennie, his 15-year-old son and an- other companion when the canoe | upset. The men were flung into the water and succeeded in cling- ing to the boat until help arrived. Most spectacular rescue was that of James Scanlon, 40, of Campbell- ford, who fell from a wall of the Trent Canal near his home. Mrs. ! Herbert Prike saw the man slip from a five-foot high retaining wall and she promptly telephoned for help. Dr. E. A. Stuart and Hector Mac- Arthur were the first to reach the scene and they discovered Scanlon floating upright in the water only his hair showing. With Dr. Stuart | in the lead, a human chain was formed, composed of MacArthur and two new arrivals, Cyril Slogett and | Bud Cresson. They managed to get | and keep the man's head above water uniil George Pace and Ken { Morgan arrived with a heavy scant- ling. The 200-pound man was haul- ed to the top of the wall and arti- I ficial respiration was started. Scan- [lon was unconscious and had turned blue" when his rescuers went to work. For nearly an hour the men worked over him and were finally successful. It is believed Scanlon swallowed his tomgue, thus preventing water from reaching his lungs.
