an attempt has been made to deal briefly simplyand adequately with the manv phases and relationships between the newspaper and the territory it serves ii is not without purpose that this editorial has

one or canadas fore most weekly newspapermen when the canadian weekly newspaper association decided a few months ago to present a series of articles on the royal canadian air force and the commonwealth air training plan it was eminently proper that they should choose a writer of mr temp- lins calibre to do the job for them one of his claims to fame is the fact that every week year in and yeakout he writes a full page of editorial material for the newsrecord not dull and drab editorials which are sometimes found in publications but keen comments on local and national things of imrtance spiced with knowledge gained from reading and experience he is an authority on local history a fact recognized by the canadian authors association of which he is a member and his business ability has been acknowledged by the cwjja on different occasions by including him on the executive of the association and on various committees we think you will enjoy mr templlns articles many of our readers have husbands sons and brothers with the rcap and these especially should be interested in reading about life in this branch of our- fightingservices if you do enjoy them we could think of no better way of showing your appreciation than by writing a personal note to the fergus editor and telling him about it perhaps when he has covered this phase of the subject hugh templin can be persuaded to keep at tt and give us the story of canada s army and navy a soldier writes we are indebted to miss audrey grieve for showing us a letter received by her from an english soldier last week several months ago when a shipment of sox was sent overseas miss grieve put slips with her name and address in some of the so one of the men who received a pair of these sox was lbdr j h plxon of the raoc and he wrote a most interesting letter in reply a scotland where he is stationed its rather amusing how i came to discover your note he an i wore them two days and on getting up this morning to put on my socks i thou i had a s in them on turning them inside out i found your address on a slip of paper ltbdr dixon who is 21 years old is a native of west harueoool county durham he was a pt instructor for a time after joining the army but is now in an raojo workshop working at his peacetime trade as a joiner i wonder what its like in canada he muses nice and quiet and peaceful i guess butf at times its peaceful here too 1 wen for a walk along the canal bank last night and forget about the war for a few moments it seemed like a dream and i hope tt soon comes true the sox which lbdr dixon describes as lovely and comfortable were made by mrs sam tennant mr oram reminisces last weeks mall brought another interesting letter from howard p oram who during the past few years has favoured the herald from time to time with some of his memories and recollections of o h s mr oram a toronto accountant has never forgotten his school days in georgetown which most certainly is a tribute to both his school and his teachers inasmuch as it is over forty years since his student days here we thank him for his informative article and hope he will soon contribute another one over the top with a bang oeorgetown acquitted herself nobly in the victory loan drive and has added fresh laurels to her record at time of writing complete statistics are not available but we may conservatively estimate that at least 325000 has been subscribed in this district with posalbly another 100000 in special name subscriptions our objective has thus been exceeded by almost half the original quota of 160000 which is in line with the general oversubscription throughout the dominion 200 millions above the woo million asked tfrom investors canada has shown that her citizens are
