Theletters of the navigator of the S.S.“Teakwood,” have been particularlyenjoyable.

HOWARD HENRY ADDRESSEDKIWAN1S CLUB Members of the Ingersoll Ki wan is'Club heard an interesting addresson Thursday evening given by PilotOfficer Howard Henry of Ottawa, who was with one of the first groupsent oversea* in 1941, in connectionwith the Empire Training School(Plan, he is now an instructor at No. 3 training command, Montreal, andhSs recently been attached to thebomber command of the R.A.F.P.O. Henry is a brother of Gor­don Henry, Ingersoll. In his address, he told an interested audience thathe had made 15 trips over Germanyand one trip over France, givingmany incidents and experiences. He gave an account of his visit to Lon­don soon after his arrival in Sc<A-land and told of the dreadful trag­edy of war concerning the bombed victims and thejr underground hide­outs. He was surprised to find how­ever, that London was not as badlybombed as he had expected. He as­sures us that the British Govern­ ment is doing all it possibly can toaid these bonibed-out victims. Hedrew very vivid word pictures ofthe biackouts and spoke with pathos of the innocent little children andaged folk spending a great deal oftheire time in shelters with only ablanket between them and the cold floors because their homes weregone and they had no other shelter.He gave his experience of hisfirst air raid over there and com­mended the work of the valiant Red Cross. He explained why thereshould be no criticism when thereseemed to be a lull in our bombingactivities, because weather and num­ erous obstacles intervened, and hesaid: “We are looking to you backhome here for that same kind of co­operation that we have with our ground crews. We in the sky areonly as good as our ground crews,although we get the glory. We canonly carry on and do over there what you people here make possible.Those in defence work aredoing a marvellous jab. Those ofyou engaged in food productiorf are doing a grand one and one that ishighly essential at the present timefor an army marches on its stomachand can go as far as and be as good as its production lines. And to allof you who possibly can. I urgeyou on behalf of my buddies in this,war and for the suffering peoplebuy war bonds and help bring'-iKis struggle to a close. If we wish tocontinue living in a civilised worldand see the chfidren grow up in anykind of decent times, we must have your co-operation. Whether thisworld is good or bad depends on howwe make it."President of Kiwanis, S. L. Shel­ ton, took charge of the meeting andthe song leader for the evening wasF. Earl Johnston.

Rogerssome sixty guests are deeply indebt­ed for an evening's pleasure, which will not soon be forgotten, when onThursday evening Oast, they present­ed a very charming house-guest,Miss Doreen O'Brien, in an out­ standing recital. MiSs O’Brien, Eng­lish solo-dramatist, had appeared inSt. Thomas and London early in theweek and stopped off in Ingersoll tovisit her friend, Mrs. Rogers. It was indeed a kindly thought on the partof the hostesses to prevail on Miss O'Brien to give a program in aid ofthe Russian Fund and also give somuch pleasure to her guests. The program given -was the same as shehad presented to the Women’s MusicClub in London. The numbers wereall written by her and in their en­ tirety evinced the versatility of thisgifted artist. Dr. Rogers introduced MissO’Brien and gave a short sketch of her activities in her profession.In her initial number “TheQueen Cousins,” a characterization *bf Elizabeth of England, and Maryof Scots, Miss O'Brien was so clev­erly adequate to the characters inportraying the queen’s vastly differ­ ent personalities. The costumes de­picted those of the period and werevery lovely. She was especially fineas Elizabeth when she received Mary after her flight from Scotland.Other numbers were modernsketches, “The Sisters," “The PrizeDistribution" and “Come Sue and Goodbye."In "The Sisters", Miss O’Brienastutely played the parts of two adorable elderly Sadies with greatsimplicity, not without charm. In"The Prize Distribution", as a prin­ cipal of a girls' school, she wasreally fine and in her admonitions oswell as her commendations to the pupils. "Come Sue and Goodbye,”was lovely and as she sang a lullabyto the little Sue and as she bade hergoodbye, one was indeed touched by the farewell to the dying baby.The thanks of those privileged toenjoy the recital were kindly ex­ pressed to the artist at the close ofher program.The proceeds of a generous nat­ ure, were given to the Ingersoll WarCharities and sent by the board tothe Russian Relief Fund. Dr. and Mrs. Rogers entertainedtheir guests at an informal supperfollowing the program. USED FUR ARTICLES REQUIRED BY RED CROSS Mrs. J. M.

W. . IWHBRAL BOMB. Social and Personal PRESERVED, PACKED AND SHIPPED Farmers, fishermen and stock-raisers would labour in vain to supply food to the United Nations, were it not for the added labour of those who prepare, preserve, pack and ship the food. Thousands of Canadian men and women are doing a most necessary job of converting live and raw products co usable, transportable food for millions of fighting men and civilians overseas. In estimat­ ing the value of various tasks in the total war effort, much credit should be given to the workers in the canning, dehydration, curing, packing, refrigerating and shipping industries. “Bacon for Britain”? Yes, but also canned salmon and dried fruits and evaporated milk for Britain and our allies overseas. The Bank of Montreal is working with all war-time industries and their workers by supplying the kind of banking service needed—through hundreds of conveniently located branches.
