In a letter addressed to the soldier's mother, Mrs.W.E.Logan), from his Commanding Officer, Major, E, F.Klugnan, dated March 20th, 1945, the nature of Private Logan\u2019s final action is vividly des- © cribed.Major Klugnan writes: \u201cOur battalion crossed the Rhine early in the morning of the 24th .of March, and the evening we attacked Speldrop.The village was strongly held by the Germans and Nelson's platoon was leading the attack, Nelson was killed by ma- chine-gun fire during the attack on this place which lies just east of the Rhine.The time was about 8 o'clock in the evening.He was hit in the back and died almost immediately.Nelson was always regarded by all of us as a good soldier and a fine fellow.His death, therefore, is a great shock to all of us who knew him, He will be screly missed and a soldier difficult to replace.He Is buried in a temporary Canadian Cemetery just outside Bienen, a village just east of the Rhine.The funeral was conducted by our Unit Padre, Capt.J.Anderson.You will be advised of the permanent resting place in due course.1942, having just passed his 19th birthday, and proceeded to The Late Pte.Nelson Andrew Logan -0- In the course of la the Sermon, the Minister spoke of the dead soldier in the following accomplished.\u201d terms: \u201cWie, his countrymen, his kinsmen, his friends and his acquaintances, owe him a debt which can never be fully discharged.We honour him; we pay our humble tribute to his memory.In this time of sorrow and mourning in thousands and in hundreds of thousands of homes, we bring our heartfelt sympathy to his father and to his mother: to his brother; to each member of the sorrowing family; and to his friends.\u201d The Minister continued: \u201cThe victory which a just God is giving even now into our hands, is being gained at a cost that is terrible to contemplate; at a cost that is coming home to us, to our own hearthsides, with an outpouring of precious human treasure that brings us this day face to face with sorrow and bereavement.But if we can learn to pray together and to say: \u2018Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven\u2019; if we can begin to see that God has made of one blood all nations of men to dwell upon the face of the earth\u2019; and if the men who hold | the nower in this year of grace, can find it within themselves to make even the first, halting, groping step toward the great dream of TO THE CITIZENS OF CHATEAUGUAY WEST The War in Europe is at an end.It is now our task, and opportunity to make the \u201c Heave\u201d for the 8th Victory Loan, and put it over in Chateauguay West better than ever.By this means we can show our fighting men that just as we were behind them during the darkest days of the War, so too are we with them in the hour of their great triumph.Let us also remember that we still have g,job to finish with Japan.By the time this newspaper reaches you the 8th Victory Loan Campaign will be drawing to a close, Our Unit objective is $390,000.Our sales as of this date amount to $189,150, so that | we need $200,850 more between now and the close of the Campaign.There are many of our Citizens who for one good reason or another have not yet bought their Victory bonds, but, we are confident that when their applications are recorded we shall not only reach our objective but exceed it by a substantial mount.In the 7th Victory Loan Campaign we sold $440,000 of bonds.We can do it again, with your help.\u201cO Canada We Stand on Guard For Thee\u201d.Yours very truly, D.A.BARRINGTON, SIMEON BEAUDIN, Joint Unit Chairmen

Huntingdon County Victory Loan Campaign show that $536,550 have been collected in sales of Victory Bonds or 74.4 of the total minimum objective of $721,000.Two townships have reached their objectives and gone over the top, these \u2018are Dundee with 109.7 % on Wednesday, May 9th and Hin- chinbrook which went over the top on Saturday for 1079%.Have- lock which won the plaque in the last loan, is holding bottom position at this time.The official closing date of fhe Ÿ + lonn is Saturday.May 12th, and A there is still better than 25% tO go to make the County Objective.« Thus there is much more work to be done if the objective is to be reached before the close of the loan as was done in the last campaign.There is a considerable amount of canvassing remaining to be done in the county, but at the moment it looks like there will be a fight between Dundee and Hinchinbrook as to which will win the plaque and which salesmen will win the ts.However some of the other astricts could quite easily step up and pass these two if extra effort is put forth.Elgin is stepping up with 827% of its objective and could possibly get into the running with Dundee and Hinchinbrook.The results of the County

meeting of the Huntingdon Rotary Club, the members heard a talk by Major g 8.Aber, of C.C.No.4, Huntingdon, which brought out some rather wonderful facts pertaining to the treatments given at Chateauguay Barracks, He gave an outline of what was being done at the Centre to refit the men going through it for either duty or return to civilian life.The speaker said he felt that a large number of people in Hunt- ingdon, although living so near the centre, did not fully realize what actually went on there.He wanted to take this opportunity of telling those present something of the work done and how it was done.In most cases the men going through the centre were battle casualties from all battle fronts and who were recovering from their wounds and injuries.There were some cases where operations had been performed for appendicitis and hernia and other sicknesses, but the majority were battle casualties.The treatment at this centre was in the form of various exercises and therapy.Unlike the old methods of treatment, when a patient with broken limbs was allowed to stay in hed for months on end, the patient is now given exercises as soon as possible after the fractured limb has knitted together and during the time that the patient is required to remain in bed.The idea of this is so that the muscles of the other parts of the body do not lose strength and require that the patient has to be trained to regain the use of them.Various forms of exercise are given the patient while in bed and as soon as he can be got up, exercises are given for the injured part of the body as well.Two startling facts were brought out by the speaker, in that patients operated upon for appendicitis were got up and exercised in about eight hours after the operation, or as soon as they have recovered from the effects of the anaesthetic.Those operated upon for hernia were up at about 48 hours after the operation.Exercises of a slight nature and for short periods were given in earch of as the patient recovered.This method on the cases, \u2018increasing | exercising has.been found to be most beneficial | in practically all cases treated at' Dave made a host of novelties.It] Treatment - it was made from common articles that could be found around almost any household.For instance, various sizes of dumbells were made from tin cans filled with cement and lengths of pipe put in to make grips, these were painted and placed in a wooden rack for tidiness.Various sizes were there and various weights, but all made in the same way.The boards on which ankles were exercised have all been made at the centre from lumber bought for the purpose.Certain finger and hand exercisers have been made from wood, right at the centre.Perhaps the only things that have been bought as special equipment are the ropes, balls alu mattresses that are used, Various hurdles and jumping and climbing equipment have all been made at the centre.Prom the Drill Hall the group visited the Canteens.The reading roofn caught the eye of the visitors in the fact of the very comfortable fur ishings, \u2018all supplied through t Canadian Legion War Ser- vic of which Captain Allan Mutray is in charge.At the far end of the room are maps that have beeh drawn and painted by a member\u2019 of the centre and keep the men informed as to the progress of the war on all fronts.Classes aye held in this part which give the men education in many subjects and also keep them posted on events all over the world, poll- tical and otherwise.A well stocked library provides for all tastes in reading or book leaming.From here the visitors were taken to the movie theatre where a movie of the Battle of Britain was being shown.The group then visited the therapy division of the centre.Here they saw treatment being given to various heat methods and wave, Massage is also given to the patients and a hot wax treatment for broken and mending bones, Various types of exercises are given such as pedalling bicycles, winding up weights, treadmill, and many other methods.In the craft shops.patients\u2019 minds are taken from the injurles by giving them various types of handicraft to do.Various types of machinery and tools are here for the men to work with and they various patients by Violet Ray and | short | MAY 9th, 1945 Overcome by Gas Fumes A defective gasoline tank was almost the cause of a
