Kester Dies Friends here were injdeed sorry to leam of the sudden death of Sergt. Noel Thompson Kester, R.C.A.F., son of Dr. and Mrs. E. Kester of St. Catharines, which took place over- seas. In a letter received by Mrs. Wesley Plantt, his mother stated that he had crashed at 12.20 a.m. while night flying on May aeth, and was buried May 30th at Eldzell, near Breckin, Angus, Scotland, on May 30. Sergt. Kester was 22 years old and had a life full of promise. Many times he had visited with his mother at the Plantt farm and attended the Blackburn re-unions. Mr. Harry Thompson of TrjOn Collegre is an uncle and Mrs. Sarah Simmons is the only great aunt living. An only brother, Howard, is with the Can- adian' Forces in England. They have given their all To their country's call. The true, the noble and brave; Laying down the torch Oti the onward narch. That heir country they might save And we who remain In this fair domain. Have our part in battle and strife. Others burdens to bear, Then be often in prayer, 'Till me meet in the better life. Battle news â- *'rom all fronts is en- couraging but there 's yet work o toe done. So far, the Allies have not been able to ecure what may be said to Le a secure toehold in France, but they are getting there. It is a long way from the coast of Normandy to Berlin, and w-; would warn our read- ers from thinking the war is yet won.

Pictures how TOWN HALL FLESHERTON Monday, June 26 "TWISTED RAILS" and War Pictures ADMIiSSION: S&c and 20c Need Reinforcemenfs Commencement of the long-await- ed invasion of Europe with Canad- ians in the spearhead of the attack creates the problem of reinforce- ment. Obviously the casualties will be heavy, not only during the present operations but throughout the whole phase of the battle of Western Europe â€" a war in itself comparable to that of 1914I..18, but with much greater difficulties. It is vital that these casualties be replaced as the success of the opera- tion is not solely in the attack but in the relentless 'pursuit of the enemy. Now and in th months ahead Can ada needs more and more infantry- men â€" the fellows with the rifle and bayonet and the hand grenades who, in the last analysis, are still the boys who win battles. And for this reason the recruitment of more and more men for the Active Army, and more and more women for the CWAC, as- sumes a gravity which cannot poss- ibly be overemphasized. TURKEY MAKES OUTSTANDING LAYING RECORD Mrs. James Semple of Euphrasia Township, about one and a half miles north of the village, has a turkey which has made an outstanding re- cord in the matter of laying. Early in the season she producert t.venty eggs which were placed in a nest for her to hatch. She took to the sitting without objection but on each succes- sive day for the twenty-eight days she laid another egg. These were re- moved from- the nest as they came. The day on which the baby turkeys were hatched an egg was added as usual and on the following day an- other. There are fourteen young turkeys fijom the origijnal twenty eggs and another fifteen eggs ready to place under a hen to produce an- other flock of turkeys. â€" Markdale. Standfard. Loses $1000 On Street The Mitchell Advocate reports the following: A farmer got a cheque for $1,000 for some hogs he had sold, and he took it to the bank to get the cash. He wore two pair of overalls, not simply because he could afford them, but because he figured he would put the cash in the pocket of the inner pair, where it would be safer. He drew out ten $100 bills and stowed them away according to plan, and went walking down the street. A .nan behind him was amazed to find a $100 bill lying on the sidewalk. A little farther on he found another, then another. This exciting paper cJiase continued until he had picked up $1,000 and had discovered that the farmer up ahead was dropping them as he walked along. The bills were handed over before their loss was dis- covered. The farmer had missed the inner pocket and had sliiwed the bank roll between the two suits of overalls.

We owe a debt to all who have labored in its organized activities, and to those who still carry them on.
