THE LLANO NMW8, LLANO. TEXAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1943.
to the "Battle of the Atlan-
l¥¥AVE you seen them, the tight
'll little ahlps, the Corvette* of
the Royal Canadian Navy, with
I their create proudly emblazoned
on ttelr gun turrets, as they sail
out Ifti
tic"?
* They carry on In the best trad!
tlons of Sir Francis Drake, whose
fleet sailed against the Armada,
iWlth their armorial bearings hung
to the rigging . . . and they fight
.equally -well. ^ .■_
j Create Chosen By Sailor*
As the clana and nations of me-
diaeval days adopted emblems in
order that their ships and warriors
could distinguish each other in the
melee of Battle, so have the Cana-
dian Corvettes been adorned, the
’badges of these "crusaders” being
chosen at will by the men who
sail them.
In many cases beasts and birds
,play upon the bearer’s name. For
instance there Is the Griffin, a cht
■nerical animal, the fore part hav-
ing the head, legs and talons of
an eagle, and the other part, with
tall and hind legs, being that of a
• ion It has large wings, like an
eigle’s. The Griffin, tearing a U
boat In half, was chosen as the
Coat of Arms of the H.M.C.S
"PICTOU” for the very simple and
appropriate reason that the Com
tnanding Officer Is Lieutenant A. G
S. Griffin, R.C.N.V.R., of Hamilton
Lieutenant Griffin’s two brothers,
one an R.C.A.F. pilot overseas and
the other In charge of a Tank unit,
have also adopted this crest which
Is boldly displayed on plane and
tank.
Each Is Symbolic
However, not all of the Corvette
crests possess a symbolic meaning,
■but “every picture tells a story”
and. having been born of the ex-
igencies of submarine warfare,
many of the designs lean to U-boats
and In the majority of cases the
legend is humorous, directed in the
main at Hitler and his pig-boats.
In the Sea-Ctoing Officers’ Club
are deposited the plaques, replica
of the “coat of arms” of the va-
rious Canadian corvettes Here
in this lofty perch looking out
into the harbour, come naval and
merchant ship officers to sip their
bitters and “talk it over.” Here
m re displayed these badges of
originality that bring hearty laugh
ter from all who inspect them
and yet are guarded jealously

Your County War Fund is another "Victory weapon."
The United War Chest of Texas through war fund
organizations in every county of the state is charged with
the responsibility of raising $4,885,781.00 for the 17
approved war appeals of the National War Fund. The
national goal is $125,000,000.
Each of the 17 participating agencies was carefully
budgeted to stretch every dollar contributed before it
received the approval of the President's War Relief
Control Board.
Texans now are being asked to take a Texan’s share
in their County War Funds to aid three fronts with one
gift—the Military Front, the United Nations Front, and
the Home Front. Remember, President Roosevelt has
said that a share in the National War Fund is a share in
winning the war. Use this “Victory weapon.” Give to your
County War Fund.
