To >â€" to, Ont KI. 4344 < > < « < > < « < > < > Canadians, who have always ranked high among the Empire's marksmen, are now learning a new kind oi marksmanship. Day after day student bombers drop practice bombs with in- creasing accuracy on floating and stationary targets, finding out how to keep their eyes on the target while travelling at nearly 265 miles an hour, writes Leonard Lewis in an article in the March issue of C-I-L Oval, Air bombing is a scientific occupa- tion requiring a knowledge of mathe- matics, steady nerves, quick thinking and capable hands. At the Jarvis School on Lake Erie, No. 1 of 10 bombing and gunnery schools to be established under the Commonwealth Air Training Plan, nearly 100 train- ing planes are in constant action and the administrative, instructional and maintenance staff consists of 800 men, mostly ILCA-iFl personeV .Before going to Jarvis, the student fliers have gone through most of the other air training courses, passing rigid tests and accumulating considerable of flying before they enter this final stage. Chemistry, which enters in many ways into the making of aircraft, also makes an important contributioin to bomber training through the small practice bombs used in these final exercises. Practice bombs weigh lli-^ pounds each, compared to the 500 to 2,000 pound projectiles used in act;ial warfare, and are 15 inches long with a diameter of three inches at their thickest section. All parts of the practice bombs are made in Canada, including the charge which is a product of the explosives chemist, according to the article. On ground targets, bontibj charged with stannic chloride are used; on water targets, titanium tetrachloriHe. On contact with the ground or water ? small charge of the explosives blows oflf the tail of the bomb and frees the chemical charge. Contact of these acids with atmosphere or water causes a puff of white smoke by which the bomb aimer, thousands of feet aSave, may judge the accuracy of his aim. ^Arrived In England Sglmn. John Cook arrived in Eng land on Saturday, according to a cablegram received on Monday by Mrs. Cook, Two weeks ago he left an' Eastern Canadian port for his overeas destination and hp '^flfB, ar- rival shows to what extant Britain has control of the seas. Sigrnalman Cook enlisted last August in the Corps of Signals and trained mtil a month sigo at Barriefield Camp, when he wa3 mqve(^.to an ElastecS poi^t. His wife and liree children '^reside in FleshertOBy, Comforts FoMfpys Defeodiog Oar Homes He's just a lad as years go, and he's full of the joy of living â€" even in this mad, grief-stricken world that has forgotten how to "play the game.'' We took his from schools, shops, farms, factories and offices. He laid down his fishing rod and tennis racquet and ski-is, and donned a uni- form and shouldered a rifle â€" with- out a murmur, without a complaint. He did these things willingly, proudly, because he knows that he and his pals, and older friends, have a mighty important job on theii hands right now. He knows the meaning of war and sacrifice â€" heaven knows that's been drilled into our children since the last show â€" but he knows the mean- ing of Nazi bestiality and slavery. And he's determined that it will never overcome £^ngland. will never find its way to this side of the Atlantic to destroy the freedom and security of those near and dear to him â€" and the Canada he loves. This boy is somebody's son, some- body's brother. He COULD be yours . . . This lad, this youth of high ideals and principles, is our hope of the fu ture. We rely on him â€" and thous- ands others like him â€" to carry on where we leave off, to make this na- tion fill the high role of leadership in the new and happier world of na- tions that is to follow. His King, his Empire, is proud of his brave and unselfish response in this hour of need. And we â€" his folk back home to whom he has waved a "cheerio" and "thumhs up" â€" are proud of him? Words, mere words, cannot answer that. Today, we who hold the home frent are being challenged â€" challenged by a conscience that will not let s be. For today we have the one and only opportunity that will come w^ith- in the next 12 months to show our love, our gratitude, to this youth who stands for all Canadian youths. Perhaps he is still among us. Per- haps he is "over there" in that Island Fortress we call Britain. But where- ever he is, he is counting on YOU to continue for his benefit, education, entertainment, recreation and person- al assistance â€" services that only YOU can provide. You won't let him down. He's con- fident of that. And because he has faith in you, and faith in the cause foe which he is fighting, he'll never let you down. He's asking you â€" his mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sweet- heart and friends â€" to give now, give generously, to the Canadian Wai Services Fund. For he knows that if you fail him in this cause, the things that have helped to make his life on active service happier, more purpose- ful, will not be there to help hini carry on to victory. The campaign opens March 24 an^^ the parti.'ipating organizations are the Canadian Legion, L0.D.E., Sal- vation .\rmy. Knights of Columbu.?. Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A.

Mussolini himself, it is under- stood, is eating crow. Comfort is an insidious guest to harbour in your house, for it is so pleasant that you do not notice hov it drives beauty from the threshold and soothes your senses into thought- lessness and selfishness.

Cigarettes For Soldiers Last fall containers were placed in the stores in Flesherton into which small change could be dropped, for the purpose of sending smokes to the boys at overseas points. On Saturday the money was collected and it was found that $13.40 had been donated for a good cause. The boys overseas will thus be enabled o have a more regular supply of Canadian brand tobacco, w^hich they have greatly missed since they went overseas. The containers are again in place and any contributions you can make will b« enjoyed by the boys.
