Bill Kerton, who served with the 8th .irmy in Sicily and Italy. Bill went overseas in 1939 with the 48th High- iL'.ndsrs of Toronto.

Kerton was escorted to Max- â- .v:l! by .several horn-blowng cars. Three Pound Bass From District Waters Week end bass Ashing around this district was exceptionally good and some splendid fish were caught.

At Wilcock Lake Barney Welton caught a tliree pound bass with a light flj rod and Jack Pawlitzke of London, landed a 3'j pound beauty with bait. Edwin Kay of Toronto and Barney caught ten bass on Saturday weigh- ing 18 pounds. Messrs. Jack Sutton of Toronto and Charlie Flynn of Brantford each caught 10 speckled trout on Saturday, the former landing a 2V2 lb. trout. Speckled trout fishing throughout the district has been exceptionally good most of the summer and some fine average catches have been re- ported. Many of the streams and ponds have had fish placed therein during the summer and in the past few weeks and some excellent fishing is expected again next year. This country is the acknowledged home of the best speckled trout and every effort is being made to keep it as high class fishing grounds. BROKE PELVIS BONE WHEN CAR CRASHED -^ where an informal welcome was ex- tended to him by Rev, O. W. Holmes on behalf of the community.

In the evening a large crowd gath- ered in the Orange Hall to dance and to present Sergt. Kerton and Mrs. Kerton and family of two little girls, Joan and Betty Lou, with a purse of money, as a small token of appre- ciation felt. The happy party broke up in the small hours with the sing- ing of the National Anthem. Sergt. Kerton went overseas with tlie First Division, landing in Eng- land the middle of December. The atlvance of the German army through Fra;icc in 1940 saw the 48Lh ready a».u fit for the figiit and tl.cy •.â- cr.. taken to France, landing at Brest on June 11th.

Sixth Victory Loan Objective Is $1,300,000,000 Finance Minister Ilsley has -riv- en Canadians a new high target of $1,300,000,000 for the seventh Vic- tory Loan campaign which, he has announced, will open Oct. 23. The $1,800,000,000 figMre. which he described as "the minimum ob- jective," is SlOO million above the objective of the sixth Victory Loan campaign which last May yielded $1,407,547,650. In his announcement Mr. Ilsley said the borrowing requirements for the current fiscal year still stood at the $3,200,000,000 figure estimated in his Budget speech June 26. Pro- vision has been made in the Budget for uncertainties . and it appeared likely that an increase $500 mil- lion might have to be made in es- timates of war expenditures. Individual subscriptions have an objective of $600 million in the Oct- ober campaign, a $75 million in- crease over abjective in the sixth loan. STRONGER SHELLS NEEDED A call has gone to Canadian agri- cultural scisntists to help the poul- try industry in obtaining greater strength in the shells of eggs. There are two S'pecial reasons for this: the loss to the industry gener- ally through breakage of shells in transport and handling during the past year has been excessive, and Canadian eggs for export in the shell require strong sheMs. Poultry authorities point out that the loss is not alone in the actual breakage but in the smearing of the unbroken eggs. Shortage of help, inexper- ienced help, any more volume of bus- iness than can be properly serviced are all contributory causes. To pre- vent the breakage , there are two methods of approach â€" greater care in handling, and a tighter-texured stronger shell. The latter may be solved by research ork. Baptist Church Notes Cautioning against over-optimism and smu.g complacency, Mr. F. B, Keys, speaking on the subject, "The War is Won" last Sunday said, "there is much fighting and. praying yet to do. Nevertheless the victorious cul- mination of the spiritual struggle that has ensued down the ages of time is assured in the words from tke cross, "it is finshed," and from tlie throne, "it is done", (Rev. 10:17. Mr. F. B. Keys will be absent from the pulpit this Sunday, taking charge of anniversary services at Monck. Mr. Roy Langford and Mrs. Keys will be in harge of Cedarsirt* Church, Flesherton and at Rock Mills Church. 'llESEST
