December 12, 1942 Dear George: Two items in last wcek's States- man had my special attention. There was the fine understand- ing tribute paid ta the memory of that master of sang, Henry Knight. Who that ever heard him will forget the way he cauld put saul into what he sang? Do you remember tIc request of gaod aid Dr. Brimacombe that at his fun- emal service Henry Knight sîould sing "The Glory Sang." Those were great days in Bowmanvilie musical circles, when Henry Knight and Mrs. Arthur Cawker were in their prime. And then there was Everett Haar's letter from the far north. I remember him as anc of the bright sturdy lads who came ta the high school from Darlington township in my time. Years after, I saw him when he had a branch office of his trucking business here in London, and naw I read with great interest his message fram Dawson Crcek, B.C. Everet has literally gane far during the years. Good luck ta him. And further. an item in the daily press which stated that Rev. H. S. Cobb, B.A., B.D., United Church minister at Tilisanburg and chaîrman of Oxford Presby- tery, had esigned ta accept ser- vice in the Veterans' Guard of Canada as a combatant afficer with the rank of Lieutenant and was ta report for duty at London on Dec. llth, has also a Darling-. ton suggestion. Mrs. Cobb, for- merly Ella Wight, will be rcmem- bercd by former B.H.S. students ORANGES GRAPEFRUIT COOKING APPLES CRANEERRIES GRAES Calil CELERY YAMS LOUISIA GIFT- SUGGESTIONS We invite You To Inspect Our Stock For Your Gits of Superlor Quallty at Lowest Prices In The Editor's Mail, Detroit, Mich. December 10, 1942 Dear George James,- Here it is time once more ta renew our subscription to the home town paper. We stili are most eager to go over its pages. Once in a while we find ourselves rather confused over the genera tion of some old familiar narne but that is flot surprising after being away more than forty ycars. It has been in our family a long time and after seeing a few per- sonal lines in the "Fifty Years Ago" colum-n recenlly it remind- ed us that is many years! The fine morale of the paper neyer wavers. We scarcely expect this holiday time ta be quite as merry as usual with so much sadness and suffer- ing in this war-torn time but we must celebrate Christmas with al its beauty of meaning and trust a happier new year may follow. Frank joins me in sincere good wishes. Velma Jewell Downs.
