Rimouski station.Eight other lumbermen on the truck were injured, three perhaps' fatally, when the Montreal-Halifax | train crashed into the vehicle in a blinding snowstorm and dragged it 350 feet from a level crossing to the ; station platform.The dead : Isidore Lepage, Mario Landry, Hector Desrosiers, Jean-Daniel Lepage and Isidore Cote.The injured: Rosaire Lepage, Albert Lepage, Herve Lepage, Joe Huard, George Huard, Willie Proulx, Rene Tremblay, Armand Tremblay and Rolland Labbe.All were residents of the neighboring Parish of St.Odile.The Le-pages were described as relatives but not members of the same family.George Huard is the son of Joe Huard.A fourteenth occupant of the truck, Gerard Lepage, escaped with only a few scratches when he was able to grab a hold on the locomotive and hang on until the train came to a stop.Lepage said he heard a bell and saw the train about twenty-five or thirty feet away.In the next instant there was the crash as the heavy-train bowled the truck over.Although the Halifax-bound train was slowing for the stop, it carried the wreckage high up to the station platform.Most of the dead and injured were spilled along the right-of-way, but required forty minutes to remove one of the bodies from the wreckage.Most of the survivors on the rear of the truck, covered by a tarpaulin, had little idea of what happened.About one hundred residents of this town, four hundred miles northeast of Montreal, were waiting on the platform to greet the train, a nightly custom of citizens in most French-Canadian towns.They heard the crash and screams of the victims but, because of the storm, were unable to see the accident.The locomotive engineer, Bob Flann of Rimouski, would not comment.The truck driver, Jean-Daniel Lepage, was one of the victims.At an early hour this morning, no inquest date had been set.Funeral Services Held Satur- United States Destroyers Still Engineering, Railway and day Afternoon for William\tEffective in\tKeeping Mer-\tCivil Service Groups Seek Hutchison, for Fifty-Three\tchant Fleet\tin Tampico\tincrease to Meet Higher Years Resident of City.\tHarbor.\tLiving Costs.age to the second floor residence and the ground fl\"0\" which is 0n-cd under the presidency of Mr.Justice Charles D.White.Roach, who at the tunc f the shooting was a Frontiersman guard at the Dominion Textile plant, is claimed by the Crown to have gone to the Magog police station on the night of December 16 and to have made a deliberate attempt to take the life of Leduc with a 12-gauge shotgun.Five witnesses Donat Mayer, former Provincial Police inspector, Gustave Dufresne, constable at Dominion Textile plant, Merrick Belknap, who was on guard duty on the nignt in question, Gcdeon Rouleau, of ihe Magog police, and Leduc, Leduc, the maries of the bullet wounds on his chin still visible, gave a graphic description of the developments in answer to questions asked him by Ashton R.Tobin, joint Crown Prosecutor.With Constable Rouleau, Leduc went to the guard honso on Dominion Textile property to question Roach concerning a complaint received by police that the accused had caused a disturbance in a Magog dwelling.\u201cRoach was lying on a cot, and I shook him, because he appeared to be asleep,\u201d Leduc stated.\"Then I said to him, \u2018George, you were in the Textile block some time ago,\u2019 he told me 1 was a liar.He swore at me, and 1 told him he was lucky I had my uniform on and that it was Textile property, or he would not be able to talk that way to me.\u201d Leduc told the Court that Roach had thrown a cigarette butt in his face and had jumped from the cot and took a swing at him.Rouleau and Leduc grabbed Roach\u2019s arms, and I then the accused asked to be left j alone, declaring he had had enough.\u201c1 told Roach 1 would report him to the Sergeant in charge of the guard, and that he was not fit to be on the job,\u201d Leduc declared.R e tu rn ing to the Station, Leduc Continued on page 7, col.2.YOUR OWN BRAND BRYANTS EXTRA DRY GINGERALE ^ZHE PERFECT BLEND ^ / l> licpord Rhoiograhper.The above scenes were taken Saturday afternoon at the official inauguration of the Red Shield Club in the Griffith Building on Dufferin Avenue.The entertainment and recreation centre is sponsored by the Salvation Army.MISTLETOE aktkum K-CLUIEB CURRANTS or SULTANA\tJ* A RAISINS - Itfe\t AYLMER\u2019S\t15-oz.Tin \u2014 Choice Quality ^\tSLICED OR HALVES PEACHE\t:S ™ 10c \u201cPOÎVSINION\u201d TOP\tQUALITY MEATS BONELESS ROUND\tPORK STEAK\tCHOPS FULL SLICE\tCENTER CUTS ib.22=\tib.22= FRESH\tSTEWING SPARE RIBS\tLAMB lb.| 0c\tlb.1 0= FRUIT DEPARTMENT SPECIALS\t FLORIDA\tFULL OF JUICE, ORANGES «\"K.IJjc\t EXTRA SPECIAL WHILE THEY\tLAST!

how do you do it?\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s quite simple,\u201d replied his friend.\u201cI make a fuss of nxy wife and kiss her quite often.\u201d dotted line\u2014serves moreover to raise the question as to why, when food is at a war premium in Germany, he nevertheless keeps so large a cross-secticm of France\u2019s male population in the concentration camps of the Reich.This answer is not far to seek.Those 2,(HK),(KX) French prisoners proclaim Herr Hitler\u2019s anticipation of the day when a British expeditionary force will blast its way through Nazi-occupied France, and will draw thousands of eager recruits from all parts of that brave nation, to join the final Allied offensive against Germany.For unless he can cajole the hatred and feared British into a bargained peace, the war-maniac o.\u2018 Berlin has no illusions as to how this war is going to end.ed and they know they are then back on the course which will lead them directly to their objective.Non-directional signals from standard broadcast wave stations in the Reich also can be used to assist in navigation.Their radio compass is tuned to the signals from these stations and the lines plotted from the directional reading's then cross to show their position.This is merely one phase of the nightly activities of British airmen over Germany.Hitler in forging a mighty military machine seems to have neglected his home defences.British bombers are over Berlin and other large cities for hours and do not appear to be challenged seriously.At first Dr.Goebbels\u2019 bureau j tried to lay it to the invisible varnish on enemy bombers.That was.not too convincing.Perhaps the ability of British pilots to make use of radio beams is more of a factor in the success of raids than one can i imagine.How ironical if some of Dr.Goebbels\u2019 pet broadcasters are giving enemy airmen the locations they need for effective attacks.They\u2019ll get Lord Haw Haw yet, if he doesn\u2019t watch out.McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKenney, America's Card Authority DARK HORSE TEAM WINS N.Y.TOURNEY IN PHOTO FINISH AMPLE MATCH FOR AXIS AND ALLIES London Truth Though the United States, unlike Britain, did not declare war on Germany, the partiality shown by Washington for the cause of demoo The husband decided to try this!\the-me more and more um method, and when, on arriving home, his wife opened the door, he kissed her.His wife burst into bears.\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d he asked.\u201cOh, dear'\u201d sobbed the wife.\u201cEverything has gone wrong today.I ¦feil down and broke a lot of china, the maid has given notice, and now you come home drunk!\u201d Citizens expressed concern over reports that an advance of one cent per quart was imminent in the price of milk, bring that commodity to eight cents per quart.The following were elected officers at the organization meeting of the Magog Hockey Club: C.E.Hanna, Sr., C.B.Gordon, A.B.Mole, E.G.Daniels, J.H.Hindle, A.W.Watson, E.Williamson, C.E.Hanna, Jr., J.T.Connors, E.A.Robertson.J.Robertson, J.Moffatt and G.F.Garceau.It is reported that the Government is looking favorably to the proposals of motorists organization that a trunk highway be constructed between Montreal and Sherbrooke.Many non-motoring groups were strongly opposed to the expenditure.The committee named to take charge of the tombola in aid of the 53rd Regiment comprised Lt.-Col.R.J.Spearing.Major T.S.Somers, Major K.W.Farwell, Capt.J.P.Wells, Capt.F.C.Bowen, Capt.J.R.Duncan and Lieut.Adams.Rev.J.Miller, of White Lake, Ont., has accepted the call to the Presbyterian Church at Inverness.Government officials and private parties are co A couple had just been married.The clergyman shook hands with the bride, then, held out his hand to ;he bridegroom.The latter took no notice, but stood with his hand deep in trousers pocket.When he saw that the clergyman continued to hold out his hand, he said in a very annoyed tone, \u201cHang it all! Can\u2019t you see I\u2019m ge.ting the money out as fast as I can.\u201d Smith, on the way to the city, found a slip of paper just outside the gate of his house.It was a detailed plan of his private office.The exact position of the stairs was shown.Notes showed which doors swung in and which swung out.Even the windows were set down.Smith, alarmed, rushed back into his house.\u201cSome burglar must be going to raid my office,\u201d he told his family.\u201cOh, it isn\u2019t that.\u201d cried his daughter glancing at the sketch.\u201cThese notes are in John's handwriting.He\u2019s coming to

the Americans by now have committed themselves too irrevocably to draw back.They are well aware that, if Britain were defeated, it would be their turn next, and that they would have to face Hitler\u2019s fury without a single friend.Britain will not be defeated.The combined forces of the two great democracies will be an ample match for the Axis and its Allies.Of that we are certain, and the resources at our disposal give every reason for confidence.Confidence, however, must not degenerate into easy optimism.We must not underrate our enemies or imagine that the struggle will be anything but long and arduous.If we are to overcome the difficulties, we must assess them accurately and unflinchingly and form a clear picture in our minds of what we are up against.THE PRICE OF BLOOD (Ottawa Citizen) London recently admitted that in one day\u2019s air raid four hundred lives were lost and that about 2,200 tons of bombs were unloaded on the city.That is an average of 6% tons of bombs for one human life.Now on this continent a 1,000-pound bomb costs between $175 and $200, so Stis tons would run between $1,650 and $2,000.In Germany, where labor is cheaper and factories are government-controlled, the cost may be somewhat lower.But in addition to the cost of the bomb, there must be planes and men to drop them, and they must have gas and oil, food and shelter, so that it would be a fair estimate to say that each life the German bombers took on this day cost at least $2,000\u2014not counting plane losses.That is the price the Nazis are willing to pay for the life of a Londoner.Could anything be more extravagant, wasteful and stupid, calculated by material results?Bridge, like all sports, has a dark | horse winner occasionally.The iMetropolitan Open Pair

some evening and find a British bomb crashing through the roof.That is how effective British airmen are becoming in what is known as \u201criding the beam.\u201d That means that Royal Air Force pilots are picking up short wave directional signals and following the radio beam to its destination.They also have found ways of detecting the locality of non-directional signals.Here is how it is done: Radio-equipped British bombing planes take advantage of signals emitted by German transmitters to reach their objective in the Reich.Where short-wave transmitters employ directional antennas to send the broadcasts, the plane crews tune their radios to that station and then ride the beam to their objective.When the signal fades, they realize Fields of lava, volcanic craters, \u201csputter
