of britain are ftnced to go without the story is told by the ooderlch signalstar of some 300 radio tec who arrived at the clinton school surprised at being able to have such luxuries as eggs cheese and milk can we have eggs was one of the first questions put to the clinton cooks yes and cheese tool andmllkl so one can ima gine how busy the chefs at that cacdp would be for a few days making egg mad cheese sandwiches especially as ottntonisin the centre of a noted cheesenaelng belt these products are scarce in britain during these war days and canadians can once again count themselves lucky maybe it never occurred to you we wander if it ever occurred o you when singing that popular old hymn rock of ages who the autho was and under what circumstances it was written it seems this hymn was composed under unusual circum stances in 1t7s augusta toplady took shelter from a storm in a cleft of a large rock at barrington coombe in somerset e and while wal tog for the rain to stop wrote this famous song on the onry piece of paper he could rind a playing card keeping the boys informed it seems to be the thing to do to lend copies of the local newspaper to boys on active service we read where harriston town council is sub ciibing for papers to be sent to all their boys in the kings uniform earl rowe also made sure his const tuents in simcoeduiterin counties should read their home town paper while overseas so he subscribed for them at the regular rate hundreds of other weeklies across canada have been sending free copies to the boys in the service on their own initiative the herald having nearly a him died names on its list in return for this fine gesture on the part of the editors all is asked of the soldier boys and their friends is to be prompt in sending in changes of

worthwhile column have you been a regular reader cf j a strangs column in this paper if jou haven t you have been missing not only an interesting feature of the h r aid but an informative one too we
