HOME GUARD OPERATIONS It is suggested by the leader of the Home Guard that drills be resumed Thursday evening of this week at the town hall at 8 p.m. All members are urged to be present. AIRPLANE FORCED DOWN IN OSPREY (By Buckingham Correspondent) Considerable excitement, as well as anxiety, was caused here Monday night when a plane from the Port Albert air port made a forced land- ing in Mr. Herb Hawton's field. The machine, a twin motored Blenheim bomber, developed engine trouble half an hour after taking- off and was brought down with slight damage to the Diane and a small cut on the face of one of the crew. An inspector and mechanics from the air port arrived later to test the engines and remove small part pre- paratory to having it taken out by truck when the roads are fit. Mean- while two men from the air port are guarding the plane and staying at the home of Mr. Herb Taylor. A large number of people took advantage of the opportunity to see one of these machines on the ground and the pleasant, courteous manner of those men from England in show- ing all who came and in answering innumerable questions, but strength- ens our wish for their success and safety in training- to do battle with Hitler's birds of prey. CEYLON PUPILS AID TELEGRAM BRITISH WAR VICTIMS' FUND About $45.00 was realized by the teacher and pupils of Ceylon Public School for the Toronto Telegram British War Victims Fund. The pupils cut put blocks for a quilt, the mothers did the quilting; and the pupils sold tickets on the quilt for a draw, which was made at a dance held in the Ceylon hall Wednesday night of last week. Mr. Bert Magee of Eugenia was the lucky winner. The money has been sent to the To- ronto Telegram for the fund. ** How About a New Suit This Spring?

H. W. Hickling, in her 77th year. Death occurred at 6.30 a.m. at her home here following a lengthy illness of some three years. The late Mrs. Hickling waa a daughter of the late John W. Arm- strong and was born at Inistioge on the old homestead and moved with her parents to Flesherton a t an early age. Her father was a J.P. and Div- ision Court Clerk for the Flesherton district She spent almost her entire life in Flesherton, except when she attended Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby. She was united marriage in 1901 to Frederick H. W. Hickling of Flesh- erton and had resided here most of the time except for several years when they lived at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.

The late Mrs. Hickling was a lady of sterling quality and was highly regarded by all who knew her. She was a member of St. John's United Church, and while health prevailed was a constant attendant at the ser- vices. She also took an active part in the work of the Ladies' Aid, Wo- man's Missionary Society and the Women's Institute and a willing worker in the W.C.T.U. Her loss to her native town is greatly deplored and she will be missed in all the village activities. The funeral was held on Thursday afternoon, April 10th, when service was held in St. John's United church at 2:30 o'clock p.m., with her pastor, Rev. G. K. McMillan, officiating, assisted by Rev. Fred Ashton of the Flesherton Baptist church. Interment was made in the family plot in Flesherton Cemetery. - The pallbearers were six nephews: Berry Armstrong, Samuel A. Goff, John Armstrong, Ernest Armstrong, Jas. Aikenhead and W. Aikenhead. Among the large number of beau- tiful floral tributes carried by four- teen of the Flesherton business men were tokens of sympathy from the following: Village Ratepayers, Bus- iness Men, Wray's Ladies' Wear of Owen Sound, friends and neighbors, Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' As- sociation of Flesherton, Flesherton Old Boys and Girls of Toronto, Gord- on McKay Limited (Geo.

The Canadian War Services Fund campaign in Flesherton has been al- most completed and to date the amount collected has been disap- pointingly small, as the total amount collected is under two hundred dollars. It was hoped that the committee would be able to turn over to the County committee two hundred and fifty dollars. If there has been any person n-ot contacted for a donation, the committee would be pleased to have their contribution. SAFE LOCK WIRE FENCE is best because stays are flexible, not rigid.

Aid Ontario Tourist Campaign In States Citizens of Ontario and those in sister provinces are at last rflally wide awake to the real neH for the millions of dollars of United States f umlii wbkh pour across tie boHi-r wit',; the arri al of tourists. Never before have all our various public agencies put so much effort into the job of coaxing United States citizens to spend their holidays in Canada. Advertisements in periodicals pub- lished on the other side of the line have been increasing in volume and in quality. Through one of these advertisements, Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King has personally addressed United States people, extending a very hearty invitation to them to come on up. In this province, Douglas R. Oliver, in charge of the tourist bureau, is redoubling his efforts to increase the flow of U. S. cars into Ontario this summer. Convention bureaus are exerting unusual effort to get more people in, and as one result of this, thousands of members of the American Legion will comj to Toronto this summer for their annual meeting. The general result of all this act- ivity should be good, but only if we continue to fight against the propa- ganda which Nazi agents in the United States continue to spread. Friends of Germany, without doubt, will keep up their whispering cam- paign that tourists may be held for military duty in Canada, that food is rationed, and that gasoline is ex- pensive and scarce. It would seem to be in order now for Canadians to set up the machinery to make sure that citizens throughout the United States read the truth. You cannot always fight progaiganda with silence. To the end of making the invita- tion a more personal one to friends in the United States The Advance suggested that the Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association sponsor a local movement for a Grey County Old' Home Week the latter part of June and the first week in July to take in the American national holiday and through the columns of the local press give a personal invitation to their friends to come to Ontario and Grey County for their holidays this summer. We would like to have an organizer come to Flesherton at an early date and explain the scheme to the lively local Old Boys' and Girls' Association, the logical organization tio sponsor such an event.
