TO THE R. A. F. Never since English ships went out To singe the beard of Spain, Or English sea-dogs diced with death Along the Spanish Main; Never since Drake and Raleigh won Our freedom of the seas, Have sons of Britain dared and done More valiantly than these. Whether at midnight or at noon, Through mist or open sky, Eagles of freedom, all our hearts Are up with you on high; While Britain's mighty ghosts look down From realms beyond the sun. And whisper, as their record pales. Their breathless, deep, "Well done"! Alfred Noyes. When a man prefers the company of men to women he is usually broke. Dieting to reduce doesnt count when you do it onlv between meals. Mae West wants to divorce her husband, and the husband is asking for $1,000 per month, something a real he-man would never accept. People who think that the home town newspaper doe.sn't print all the news should be thankful that it doesn't. This winter people are planning to save money for next summer the same money they planned last sum- mer to save this winter. British War Victims' Fund CALLING ALL CANVASSERS On Friday evening, Nov. 28th, the proceeds of the present canvass will be turned over to the Toronto Evening Telegram.

Let us all keep plugging to the last day, so that our contribution will do credit to the residents of Artemesia and Flesherton. Donations may be directed to the undermentioned : R. B. Heard H. W.

BATES & NADDOCKS FUNERAL CHAPEL Honored After 25 / Years With Simpsons An interesting event took place in Toronto in the Arcadian Court in the Robert Simpson store, on Wednes- day evening, Nov. 12th, when Mr. Roy McCauley, brother of Mr. H. A. McCauley of town, and well known in this district, completed 25 years of service with the Robert Simpson organization. He is at present head of the men's and boys' clothing and the boys' furnishings. All members of his department attended, together with representatives of Keen's Man- ufacturing Company, of which Roy is supervisor. Mr. C. L. Burton, presi- dent of the firm, was unable to be present but sent Mr. McCauley a per- sonal letter of congratulation. Ad- dresses were given by J. G. Clark, store manager, H. G. Colebrook, gen- eral merchandise manager and John M. Duff, who is in charge of the Keen Company. The chairman was William Wyatt. A short skit by members of the staff dealing with many high- lights in Mr. McCauley's life, was a feature, and songs were given by Jack Grant. Mr. McCauley was pre- sented with a pen set on an onyx base. Roy commenced his business car- eer in Flesherton with F. H. W. Hickling and his experience there came in handy when he went to To- ronto after a year and entered the employ of the Robert Simpson Co., with which firm he has steadily risen from his own ability, making a spec- ial study of merchandising, as relat- ing to a large department store. Roy is a young man yet and his pro- gress will be watched with interest by people in bis old home town, where he grew up into young man- hood.

Roadway Sank On 10th Lioe Osprey Osprey Township has a problem on | its hands when about 150 yards of roadway on the 10th line, sank com- pletely from sight, as it was being repaired. With the aid of several trucks gravel has been brought from the hill on the farm of Thos. Elliott and 3,000 yards were used in an ef- fort to fill tile hole, which was 30 feet in depth in one place. As the gravt-1 was dumped in it spread the bottom of the sink hole and heaved the sur- rounding land several feet, the sides turning over as the earth below came to the surface. On Monday Provincial Engineer Haws of Toronto, Road Superintend- ent Jas. McKenzie of Osprey. and members of the Osprey Council, con- ducted an inspection of the road. The Provincial Engineer stated that it migrht take 20,000 yards of material to build the road up again, and may- bo more. The scene of the cave-in is :hree miles west of Singhampton on the tOth line.

It took the King Paving Company one month with six trucks working night and day, to fill the huge cavity. The incident, how- ever, did not cost Flesherton any money as the Department of High- ways had control of that section of the road.
