Wedneday, March 4, 1942 THE FLESHERUON ADVANCE The Late R. J. Talbot On February lth at Lord Dufforin Hospital, Orangeville, there passed on one of the pioneers of this com- munity in the person of Robert John Talbot. He had lived HJB entire life of 74 years in Proton and Osprey Townships. Mr. Talbot was a man of genial temperament, who always met life with a smile, and will be greatly missed in this district. He was born on the farm now owned by Wm. G. Achcstni, Proton. When quite young he moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Talbot, to a farm now owned by Wm. Talbot on No. 10 Highway. In 1889 h. settled on Lots 13-14, Con. 3, S.D.R., Osprey. Two years later he married Ann Jane Arnott and they farmed there for 50 years. Thirteen months ago Mr. and Mrs. Talbot moved to Dundalk, where they have since re- sided. Mr. Talbot was a member of Os- prey Council for five years. R. J. was the eldest of the family and con- sequently knew the hardships of pioneer life. He was the son of John and Elizabeth Ann Talbot. An Anglican in religion, he formerly was a member of St. Mary's Anglic- an Church, Maxwell, and bitterly of St. Paul's, Melancthon. He is survived by his sorrowing widow, three sons and two daughters: John, of Laurel; Edward, on the homestead; Albert, of Welland; Mrs. Merritt Lonaway (Mabel) Corbetton, and Mrs. Neil R. McCann- ell (Ethel), Proton Station. Two brothers also survive, namely: Sam- uel, of Osprey, and William, on No 10 Highway. The funeral was held on Saturday, February 21st, from his late home in Dundelk to St. James' Anglican Church, Rev. E. M. Caldwell being in charge. During the service a trio comprising Messrs . C. R. Wcrry, Harry Minke a nd T . F. Ashton sang "Abide With Me." The remains were taken to the mortuary chapel, Dun- dalk Cemetery. The pall-bearers were schoolmates and chums of the deceased; Albert and R. J. Little, Abe Sherson, R. G. Acheson, Wesley Lons- way and John Lougheed. Friends from a distance who at- etnded the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Albert Talbot, Welland; John Talbot, Laurel; Albert and R. J. Little, Mrs. R. G. Richardson and Leslie Little, Primrose; Driver R. J Talbot, Camp Borden; Mr. and Mrs. S. N. McCannell, Mrs. Sam McLean, Swinton Park; and Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Talbot, Swinton Park. Dundalk Herald.

TRAVELLER USED GUM IN UNEXPECTED WAY The delightful old lady traveller has been the subject of possibly as many alleged comic stories as the much-maligned mother-in-law, but every now and then a true incident occurs which puts even the best in- vented story to shame. Recently one of those old lady travellers made her first trip on a Trans-Canada Airlines plane. She had ear trouble, she said, and, was afraid of the liner's taking off and landing. Supervisory Stewardess Margaret Dixon, of the Trans-Canada Airlines, gave her a package of gum and assured her that if she would chew it there would be no trouble to her ears. The plant- rose steadily and all was well but the old lady. She called Stewardess Dixon and shouted she was "stone deaf." Margaret was worried. The old lady could pot hear. She pointed to the gum. The old lady pointed to her ears. She had chewed the gum and plugged her ears with it. A minor operation with a hair pin re- stored the old lady's hearing.

Wiekcns, W. E. Myers, Clerks. Head of Corps (Continued from Page 1) are needed by the Army and they cannot be taken out of industry. The trade schools are therefore worth there weight ra gold. Repair shops are vitally necessary. None of the mechanical equipment was actually ( defective, 'but there were some faults in design at first because of the sud- den jump into production, instead of having the usual two years of test- ing. The manufacturers sent experts over and corrected the faults. The new stuff is exactly as we wish it. For the past year, Canadiantroops have been arriving in Britain fully equipped. Our Air Force, Navy and industrial development have enlar- ged. General MeNaughton would not say how many should go into indus- try. We should survey our man first. We want no flash fa the pan. We must plan for a war of long dur- ation and not put all our goods In the show window now. No one wants to break up a Division which has been formed. Someone must decide what is to be our maximum war effort. The General believed there would have to he an invasion of the Con- tinent. (That was one of the fav- orite topics for debate in England at that time.) He said there was no doubt about it. A well organized nation cannot be brought to its knees by missels and bombs alone. The Air Training Scheme is still Can- ada's greatest effort, but bombing from the air has its limitations. In a week at the end of the last war, over 200,000 tons of missels were used in 2600 yards on the front and more could have been used. Air power cannot drop enough bombs and infantry cannot ge there fast enough after theb ombs are dropp- ed to (be of the maximum use. One of the editors asked whether the young man with a good educa- tion should go into the Air Force rather than the Army. General MeNaughton said educated men were needed in every branch of the service. Even if they enlist as priv- ates in the Infantry, they will be found by a card index system and put at the work where they are mont needed. Most Mechanized Army The Canadian Corps has a suffici- ent supply of mechanical transport, and has two R.C.A.F. squadrons at- tached to it, which is more than the average. There are twice as many Engeneers as in the last war. There are five regiments of long range guns, an armored division, survey and meteorological sections and a thoroughly balanced force. The Can- adians have far more mechanization than the British, and Engineers to keep the roads open. We are now on interior lines with a water barrier and can take the offensive in any direction. An inva- sion of the Continent is easier than an invasion of England. The Ger- mans may yet attempt an invasion of England and it may be that the best time to strike back will be after that butnot necessarily. The Germans have 25 times as much coastline to guard as we have, which gives them an impossible task. The Russian campaign has been as gold, frankincense and myrrh for us. There is no need' for Canadians to tell Americans what to do: they know their own show and we need not tell them. At that time, the Russian armi<% were still in retreat, Petrograd was surrounded and Moscow was threat- ened. But even at that, the General did not believe that Russia was going to be knocked out of the war. He was so heartened by their perform- ance, even in thos days, that he was willing to base plans for the future on the fact that they would continue to fight. We can give them mechan- ical assistance to add to what they are producing in the Urals. Official reports from Russia must have been prepared with enormous mechaniza- tion and there was no need to be greatly surprised at their stand. They are careful not to let even their allies know any more than possible. Shipping CondStions Improve It is a scarcity of shipping alone which has held back Canada's Army overseas. Every possible ship has been used. Ships are now getting, across the Atlantic much more quick- J education helps to put in their spare time and proves beneficial as well. Not long before that, there had been an expedition to Spitsbergen Island in the Arctic. The inhabitants had been taken off and the coal mines destroyed so that the enemy could not use them. The Canadians ran that expedition. It was useful in many ways. Britain, Norway and Russia all asked for it. A Dagger at the Heart of Berlin In the end, the Canadian Corps is a dagger pointed at the heart of Ber- lin. In lighting value and range of action, we have an edge on the Ger- man panzer divisions. The 6th Can- adian Armored Division is stronger than any the Germans have. The first Canadian tanks were then being received. They would be severely tested before going into action. There was no need to doubt their quality, nor the quality of any other Canad- ian-made equipment. Btren fguns from Canada are as nearly perfect as any gun ever turned out and they came through their trials with fly- ing colors. Summing up, the General said that Canada's great problem was the de- velopment of its manpower to the best advantage. It might be that the recent census would help. There is a big job to be done. As the editors rose to leave after spending nearly- two hours at the Corps Headquarters, General Me- Naughton shook us each by the hand again. 'We departed, feeling that we had met one of the greatest of all Canadians and one who had been perfectly frank and outspoken. Un- der his direction, the Canadian Corps can be depended upon to give a good account of itself. Since then, the General has taken a rest because of ill-health due to overwork. Now he has recovered and has come to Canada to confer with the Government and Army officials here about plans for the future.
