He also spoke of many other famous men who have from earliest British history stood by these high principles which are embodied in the story of St. George and the dragon. All down through the ages Britain has stood by the weak nations when they hove been oppressed by stronger nations; and today St. George has a. special significance in our na- tional life.

PRINCE COUNTY CHRONICLE

Mr. Turner was Well known Business man

Mr. William E. ‘Ins-o'er, DION"!- ont, business man of Olson-y, who died on Tuesday evening. had been ill for about, two months. Up t0 the time of his illness he had been on duty in the general store own- ed by himself and Mr. MacWil- llama. Mr. Turner was closely oon- nected with the business life of 0‘l..eary since quire a. young man. A son of Thomas Turner of O- msry, he entered the firm of Hen- ry W. Turner, s, cousin of his father, at 0'Leary as clerk and re- mained with the business in all its ups and downs until his death.

About. 25 years ago the late Hen- ry Turner retired from business and sold out to William Turner, James M. McWilliams and Vernon Mat.- thew. Mr. Matthew is now with the Canadian Notional Silver Fox Breeders Assn. The firm was oper- ated under Turners Ltd until it was burned out about 10 years ago. Turner and Macwillriams rebuilt on the same stand and carried on up to the present time.

Mr. Turner was a splendid busi- ness man and known throughout the Island for his honest dealings and upright character. He was interest- ed in all community affairs and a leading figure in the United Church.

He leaves to mourn his widow. formerly Alice Rayner. five sons, Edwin and Wendell in Uleary, Wil- liam. Kenneth and Allison at. home, two sisters, Mrs. MacAusland. char- lottetown. Mrs. Wm.

Thousands of splinters of fire seemed to sear the velvety, starlii. skies. "Flaming onions" slithered upwards to burst in red, blue, green and white flame.

Heart-broken generals tore up their plans when Hitler launched his men and machines across the Yugoslav frontier. Sensing the Yugoslav collapse before it occur- red, the Greek commanders fore- saw the impossibility of maintain- ing their north-western line and they gave the order to withdraw in order.

Not all obeyed. The brilliant ma- jor Manlatake: stayed with l. sui- oide squad in concrete blockhouses the Greeks had built beside Lake Ochrid and camly awaited the eun- my advance over a field planted with 3,000 land mines.

Two nights earlier, in stockinged feet to avoid noise, he had escort- ed me to within 200 yards of Ital- ian Alpini trenches and joked a- bout the “surprise party" that a- waited them.

Corizza and Argirokastro, twin symbols of Greek military prowess, were abandoned without a shot in a withdrawal executed with the precision of a peace-time manoeuvre —but with far deeper emotion.

Peasant soldiers cursed Mussolini ,and Hitler with all the troopers traditional vehemence.

Outmodcd mobilization orders were revised, and the Serbs were sent north to help defend Croatia; the Crofits south to fight in o. Ser- bia for whose lnhabiiants they bore no affection.
