DISTRICT OF BEAUHARNOIS EIGHTIETH YEAR \u2019 | HUNTINGDON, QUE., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13th, 1943 SIX PAGES Objective For Farm Production in 1943 Production objectives for Canadian agriculture in 1943 were announced by the Hon.James G.Gardiner, Dominion Miniter of Agriculture, following a taree day conference between Dominion and Provincial agricultural officials in Ottawa, December Tth to 9th inclusive.The Ministers of Agriculture with their deputy ministers .da other officers from rons provinces participated in the d cussions that took place.The statement Issued emphasizes the need for increased output of practicaily all farm products and urges farmers to make plans for all-out production in 1843.With the exception of wheat, overseas commitments added to the greatly expanded demand at home will provide a market for all food products that can be produced in 1943.: It was brought out at the conference that production has increased av a very rapid rate every year since the outbreak of war put the demands of the armed forces, and of civizian population both in the United Kingdom and Canada are for still larger quantities of foods particularly those that are high in protein and in the vitamin So essential to the maintenance of health and energy.Dairy products, bacon, eggs, beef, fruits and fresh vegetables in ater volume than ever before are required.Labour and Machinery Those who attended the conference, sald Mr.Gardiner, recognized the difficulties being experienced by farmers in obtaining the labour and farm machinery necessary to insure maximum output.equipment are numerous and that all of these demands cannot be met.Because of this it will be necessary to organize production to make the best possible use of measures those areas where volume can be obtained to best advantage.Definite objectives in terms of various food products, including provincial quotas were agreed upon for all of the important comino- dities.With respect to grains the con- ference concluded that an increase in about four million acres seeded to oats, barley, flax and grass was desirable.A corresponding reduction in the acreage seeded to wheat was envisaged.The final action in this case will, however, depend upon the policy decided upon by the Dominion Government.The goal for beef cattle production calls for a 9 per cent increase with all of the provinces sharing in the larger total.One of the more important products dealt with by the conference \u2018was that of hog production.With a commitment to the United Kingdom of 675 milion pounds of bacon and increased domestic requirements, the objective set for \"1943 is 8,000,000 hogs to be marketed.An over-all increase in milk \u2018production of 6 per cent is required.The volume of cheese needed in 1943 will be about the same -as for 1942, namely 200 million pounds.The objective in creamery butter production is 15 per cent higher than that of 1942, Eggs, Fruits and Vegetables Mr.Gardiner pointed out that Great Britain is requesting more eggs and that to meet this demand plus a greatly increased consumption at home it will be necessary to.step up Canadian production by 29 per cent.There will, in addition, be a demand for all the poultry meats Canada can produce in 1943.The volume of fruits and vegetables required is \u2018Mkely to exceed that of 1942, Increased quantities for processing and dehydration may be a factor in raising the total.An increase of 11 per cent in potato production is required.The importance of fruits and vegetables in the family diet and their significance in providing an adequate food supply was emphasized.In summarizing the results of the conference the Honourable Mr.Gardiner pointed out the importance of the various set forth and the necessity of a maximum effort in meeting them.The provincial ministers in turn accepted the challenge to increase output and promised every effort to attain the volume of food products required.The 1943 objectives,

butter and cheese in the Province of Quebec.Butter and Cheese Prodtction: In December 1942 (corresponding figures for 1941 given within brackets) the butter production amounted tq, 3,114,619 (1,938,239) pounds, sh an increase of 60.7 per cent.The cheese production has reached 795,764 (1,759,780 pounds, show-\u2019 ing a decrease of 54.8 per cent as compared with corresponding month in 1041.During the year 1942, the total uction of butter amounted to \u201872,996,166 (76,460,768) pounds showing a decrease of 45 per cent.The cumulative cheese produc- phon has reached 62,930,061 (36,-

it was discovered that Miss Adelaide Irvirie, had died of carbon-monoxide fumes, in her home at Ormstown.When the storm began and the power failed on December 30, the aged lady was unable to heat her house by the furnace, which was equipped with an oil burner and an electric blower.She sought refuge at the home of her neighbour, Mr.Dougal McCaig, until such times as the plumber was able to make changes that would keep her home warm.After having been offered the services of her host in righting her house, she decided she was able to do it for herself, and left on Monday moming, January 11th.As neighbours did not see any sign of the deceased after she returned to her home, they became alarmed, and late on Tuesday afternoon, decided to investigate.The door was forced open and Dr.M.R.Stalker and Mr.A, Cook found the aged lady lying face down omr a couch, afid the house filled with oil fumes, Upon examination, doctors found that life was extinct, An inquest was held on Tuesday evening, and a verdict of accidental death, due to carbon-monoxide gas fumes escaping, was returned.Miss Irvine had lived alone in the house since a niece, who had been living with her died.&he is known ned for the British merchent to have been over T0 years of age.ç \u2018 Jimmie Hordichuk, Athelstan.\u2019 Norma Gray, Fleming, Dundee.National Temperance Course Results For

Night\u2014Number of Cattle and Horses Led to Safety Fire of an unknown origin completely destroyed the barns on the farm of Mr.Narcisse Legault, on highway No.4, about 8 miles west of Huntingdon, on Friday night.The fire, which is alleged to have broken out in the cow barn, was first noticed by Mr.Legault about 11.30, and has gained considerable headway before he had roused his family.Because the phone service was out nf order as a result of the recent severe ice storm, the family were unable to call for assistance, and only a few people who saw the reflections were on hand to help.The livestock, including 18 cows, 15 young cattle and four horses, were led to safety.but 28 pigs were lost, as well as about 50 tons of hay and a large quantity of straw and oats.The only avallable water was from a well located in the barn, the firemen were forced to rely on snow to extinguish the blaze, and although they shovelled this onto the building with untiring efforts, the blaze quickly spread, and in a short time the large L-shaped structure consisting of the horse and cow barn and implement shed were razed to the ground.The farm, which is better known as the John E, White farm, was bought about 13 years ago when Mr.Legault moved to Huntingdon from St.Louis de Gonzague.Although it is not known if Mr.Legault carried fire insurance on his barns, it is known that he is planning to rebuild as soon as possible.His livestock, which was moved to the Wm, White barns after the fire, was later transferred to his son's farm, the former Peter Stark farm.With the Bomber Press in Great Britain ENGINEERS SHOW ALACRITY IN BRIDGE BUILDING Another in a series of articles written by W.R.Legge and C.V.Charters, who represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association in a recent tour overseas.ENGINEERS SHOW ALACRITY Quebec commanded by Major A.8.IN BRIDGE BUILDING (Article No.8) By C.V.CHARTERS If I had a job of bridge building to be done any time, anywhere, efficiently and with record speed, I would call on a group of the Royai Canadian Engineers.It was my good fortune to see these fellows in action and doing a real construction job overseas.They work like demons, A finer body of keen, physically fit Canadians would be hard to find anywhere.Engineers Koie Besides preparing for their operational role when the Canadians go into action, the Royal Canadian Engineers have done extensive experimental construction and development work since their arrival overseas.Aerodromes, camps, roads and buildings have been constructed and will remain for the use of the Imperial Army long after war has been won and the Canadians returned home.Special development work on mineral resources in the United Kingdom has been undertaken by the Engineers and in special cases the Tunnelling Company\u2014recruit- ed from the hard-rock miners of Northern Ontario and Manitoba\u2014 have pierced granite mountains to bring additional waterpower to munitions plants.The R.C.E.have also been working on new, secret, methods of warfare, Some of their projects include: new bridging equipment for river- crossing; camps constructed in record time; development of Cornish tin mines; construction of strategic roads and by-passes; aerodrome construction; special water- diversion tunnelling; Base Ordnance Workshop constructed, largest project eva: undertaken by Army Engineers; training in bomb disposal work; tunnelling and construction work in Gibraltar.Bridge lding Competition The rnoon that the press party were privileged to visit them, a competition in bridge building was put on between a Field Company from British Columbia, commanded by Major T.H.Jermyn, Vancouver, representing Western Canada, and a Field Company of overseas, and his daughter, Rutherford, Montreal, representing Eastern Canada.The equipment demonstrated in the bridging operations was the F.B.E.(Folding Boat Equipment), 8.B.G.(Small Box Girder) pontoon equipment and another new type of bridge still on the secret list.Each company fielded three teams.The equipment and sites were selected by draw, and the race was on, The Job To Be Done The F.B.E.bridge to be constructed was 120 ft, Stores had to be laid out with the boats on shore.The bridge was fudged completed when one vehicle had crossed it.The time was taken at this point.The judges now inspected the bridge, then the group which had shown such skill and alacrity in creating this sizeable structure immediately proceeded to tear it down.This dismantling was done in the same orderly and efficient manner as the erection.When this work was completed and the stores all neatly and properly laid out, the officer In charge reported to the judges.The total obtainable for this particular item on the programme was 115 points.® A Marvellous Feat In the other event, two gaps of 64\u2019 and 48\u2019 were successively bridged with 8.B.G.Here also the two teams worked with clock-like precision and accuracy.It was a great show-\u2014a marvellous feat of engineering brains and physical strength.The Eastern group from Montreal triumphed by the narrow margin of ten points, so the judges declared, although to us laymen it looked like a draw, so evenly did the two crews finish, Lt.Col.D.H.Storms, M.C., of Toronto, was in charge of the Bridge building competition.Formerly with the Storms Construction Company, he seems right at home at this type of work.His son is Lt.Peter, also with the Engineers Mrs.Scandreth, is in England as an M.- T.C.driver.During this very interesting afternoon with the Engineers, we were treated to other demonstrations of technical skill and physical endurance.It was made abundantly clear Mill Employees Support The War Effort Well Checking up at the year end has brought to light an interesting item in connection with the different campaigns conducted during the year 1942, as they affect.the employees al the Leach Textiles and Spinners Lid.At each of these plants seventy-five persons are employed and they subscribed to the Victory Loan in 1942 in the following manner: First issue in March\u2014Leach employees subscribed $5050.00, while Spinners subscribed $2650.00, or a total of $7700.00; November is- sue\u2014Leach $6200.00 and Spinners $3950.00, or a total of $10,- 150.00, a grand total of $17,850.00 for the year.In the War Savings Campaign, Leach employces have subscribed $3930.75 and Spinners $758.50, or a grand total of $4,689.25.The following amount of money was raised during the Red Cross Campaign: Leach employees $308.00 and Spinners $136.20, or a grand total of $444.20.Summing up all the amounts Subscribed by these 150 employees of the two plants we find that $22,983.45 was the grand total toward the war effort.The average per head of the employees works out to approximately $153.22.This is a commendable record and one the workers should be proud of.Athelstan Boy Suffers Hip Injury On Saturday, an unfortunate accident occurred in Athelstan village, when Master Albin Clausson, son of Mr, and Mrs.George Clauesson, had the misfortune to suffer a leg injury while getting some blocks of firewood which were piled outside the house.The blocks were covered by a heavy door and considerable snow and ice.The door slid down, pining the little lad beneath it.No one saw the accident happen, but the family was attracted by their police dog, continually barking and running back and forth between the house and the wood pile.They went to investigate and found Albin pinned down, being practically buried by the snow, etc.Dr.Mc- Ewen was called and the boy was removed to the Barrie Memor- lal Hospital, Ormstown.The X- ray showed a dislocated hip.The little lad was as comfortable as could be expected on Monday afternoon, and will be allowed home this week if improvement continues.ROYAL NAVY TURNS FROM RUM TO MILK LONDON\u2014The modern Royal Navy is turning more and more from rum to milk.The Navy reported that only 40 percent.of its sailors now take their rum ru- tion, compared with 65 percent.in 1924, 88 percent.in 1913 and 91 percent.in 1850.It said 24,000,000 cans of condensed milk were supplied to the fleet in rerent months.brain and brawn to the task in hand determined not to be outdône by anything the enemy may devise, but on the contrary, to outdistance him whenever and wherever possible.The spirit and sparkle of these men was grand to behold, They fully realize the importance of thelr task.Meet Ex-Minister It was during this afternoon with the Engineers that our Ontario press men were privileged to meet and renew acquaintance with Lt.Colin Campbell, RCE.former Ontario Minister of Public Works.He had just come back from service in Gibraltar.While there, he was engaged in tunnelling and providing a hospital in the underground to us that here is a group applying rock.Pictures of the Storm Havoc as it Affected Tel highways.ephone Lines DU AIRE : In the picture, upper right, will be seen the emergency battery charging equipment

and on the right 2 noon -Factor The success of the national nutrition program being sponsored by the government depends upon the interest and initiative of individuals, according to Mrs.W.E.West, Director of Women's Voluntary Services, Ottawa.Through Nutrition Services, Department of Pensions and National Health and through provincial heulth departments, valuable information on food elements and the best method of maintaining their value, Is being made avallable.\u201cHveryone in Canada\u2014town and country housewives, office, factory and farm workers, all can improve their health if proper use is made of the material being made available by the government,\u201d Mrs, West declares.She believes that the program offers a challenge to volunteers who through this adventure in nu- tritlon can help along the war effort and safeguard the younger generation.\u201cIf there is a Nutrition Committee set up in the community, W.- VS.Centres or other voluntary organization could be of great assistance in working out nutrition programs.Tf there is no Committee, volunteers can take the initiative and organize one drawing into it health officers, dietitians and other individuals and groups especially interested.\u201d \u201cIn many farming communities and small centres there may be no trained nutritionist advice available but by writing either to the provincial health department or to Nutrition Services, Ottawa, material call be obtained for use at home or in study groups.There is room for everyone in this national program and everyone is needed.\" EAT RIGHT\u2014FEEL RIGHT The front line in the chorus of the 1942 edition of the Food Revue is filled by the foods that play the stellar roles in this production whose theme song 1s \u201cEat Right to Feel Right.\u201d Milk, fruits, vegetables, meat and whole grain cereals are the front-liners, while sweety and butter along with other fats provide energy In the back row.It must be remembered, says Nutrition Services, that butter is a source of some of the daily requirement of Vitamin A as well as n source of energy.The principal sources of this vitamin are the leafy green and yellow vegetables, 50 be sure to Include more of these In menus when limiting the family's supply of butter.MUST EAT PROPER FOOD From early infancy through the seven ages of man, food makes a difference.Were Shakespeare alive today, he might rewrite that famous speech.The picture he draws of \u201can infant, mulling and puking In his nurse's arms\u201d is very different from the happy and contented Infants of today, and food is one of the factors responsible for the difference.The schoolboy \u201cno longer \u201ccrawls like a snall unwillingly to school\u201d.Today's lover isn't the languid lad of Bhakepeare's lines.He's much more likely to be a brawny, peppy soldier or a husky young worker in some war Industry; and Instead of spending his spare time \u201csighing like a furnace\u2019 and \u201cwriting a sonnet to his Mistress\u2019 eyebrow\u201d he's much more likely to spend it dancing to the straing of a juke box.The older generation, active and still able to play a useful part in this busy modern life are a far cry from the picture Shakespeare drew of them \u201cin second childishness Land mere oblivion.Bans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.\u201d Food, of course is not wholly responsible for the changed picture of man throughout his seven ages, but proper food is a tremendously important factor In general wellbeing.Nutrition Services points out that the types and amounts of food required by different people is dependent on age, sex, weight and occupation.Everyone must have a certain amount of food, even when completely inactive, in order that the body may carry on it's functions.This amount varies with individuals and ig known as the basal requirement.Work can be done and activities maintained, only when sufficient extra food is supplied over the basal requirement.Babies and children must have plenty of the bufiding foods, or proteins for growth; minerals and vitamins found in the protective foods, to build strong bones and \u201cThe Silver Cloud\u201d Splendid Book of Poems The above is the title of a small book of poems from the pen of Mrs.Dorothy Sproule of Montreal, which has just come to the editor's desk.The hook has been reviewed by Gordon LeClaire, who is a native of Ormastown, and a book critic for several newspapers and Taking an excerpt from Mr.Le- Clair's review, we quote the following: \u201cOne cannot read these poems of Dorothy Sproule without exper- fencing that sense of spiritual uplift and philosophical peace which is the world's greatest desideration during these war-haunted hours.\u201d The booklet contains a fine selection of poems which are a credit to Mrs.Sproule, the poetess, who is rated as one of the best on this continent today.It is tastefully made up and prepared and would grace any library.We wish to express our appreciation to Mrs.Sproule for the copy of \u201cThe Silver Cloud\u201d which we have received, magazines in this country and the United States.Nutrition Program\u2019s Success Depends on Individual Effort \u201cEat Right to Feel Right\u201d is Theme in Canada\u2019s Nutrition Campaign\u2014Proper Food is Important teeth, rich blood, and to set up resistance more active.The child's requirements of energy foods Increase as he becomes more active.The woman doing office work and her more active sister who does her own housework or a \u201cman\u2019s job\u201d in a factory require approximately the same amounts of proteins and the protective foods but the office worker does not need as much of the energy producing foods as her more active sister.Men doing active work require more of the energy foods, and more protein.As old age approaches less food is required with lessening physical activity, Throughout the \u2018seven ages\u201d it ls important to be sure that everyone gets plenty of the all-important protective foods which include milk, fresh fruits and vegetables.C.N.Brakeman In Accident Injuries Prove Fatal To George Lacombe, When Thrown From Engine A tragic accident occurred at Howick on Tuesday, Jan.5, when Mr.George Lacombe, 57, well- known brakeman on the regular C.NR.freight train for many ycars suffered injuries that later caused his death when he is alleged to have been thrown from the cow-catcher at the switchyard near Howick.Dr.Jas.Quintin, of Ormstown, was called to the scene of the accident and made the patient, who had suffered a fracture of one leg and multiple chest injuries, as comfortable as possible.He was later transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, where he passed away on Thursday.Dewittville Red Cross Workers Make Progress The Dewittville Group of Red Cross workers is not very large, but is steadily increasing in members, while some of the women are doing a remarkable amount of work.Mrs.Carr, who has charge of the distribution of the work, has expended a great deal time and energy to promote interest in this important service on the home front.It is of such vital importance that we must give up some of our other duties in order to keep the Red Cross supplies moving to our boys, who need them s0 badly.Even if the furniture does show a flim of dust occaslonally\u2014what does it matter?But it does matter that the health of our fighting men be protected as far as lies in our power to do it.Mrs.Carr gave a deltghtful luncheon recently to about twenty ladles with a view to discussing the work and creating more interest.Rev.W.8.Hatcher spoke after the luncheon, and told us about different interesting phases of the work.As a result of this very pleasant get-together, quite a number of new workers were added to the Group.Mrs.Carr does a great amount of the sewing hersel.We have two other outstanding workers, Mrs, Geo.Moore and Mrs.G.Smiles.Mrs.Moore is not a young woman, and did her share of Red Cross work in t last war, but she still accomplishes more work than many a woman half her inc the group was formed she has handed in seventy-five peirs of pyjamas, as well as about one hundred other pieces of sewing and knitting, including nightgowns, body belts, slips, scarves, mitts, bloomers, sheets, etc, Besides all this she pieced, and quilted thir- ten quilts and gave them- to the society.Mrs.G.Smiles is a faithful and tireless worker.Within the last two weeks she has turned in three beautifully knit boys\u2019 sweaters as well as some sewing.Since the Group staited here, a year and a half ago, Mrs.Smiles has handed in over two hundred and forty pieces of sewing and knitting.This included 76 pairs of pyjamas; 27 sweaters; 22 hloom- ers; 54 towels; 14 sheets; 6 night gowns as well as gloves, mitteus, caps, etc.Such tireless devotion is praise- worthy and a wonderful example which should spur many of us to redouble our efforts.But yet it is a mistaken view for any woman to think that just because she finds it impossible to do as much as some other member, it Is no use trying to do anything at all.Let such a one remember that what she fails to do will remain undone, because each and all have their individual part to perform, and the sum total.of their efforts, whether great or small, will form a worthwhile con- tory on.In the strugglé for vip - ~ pv.ERTL

Hun- tingdon, no ladies have been present to give their views on the matter.It is felt that a hospital is almost a majority in the realm of the ladles, as they are called upon to help out in cases of sickness.They are the ones who become the nurses in their own homes and their counsel is often sought by others in matters of sickness and the care of the sick.They also have a very fair knowledge of linen requirements, what it takes to keep a place clean and neat, something along the line of what il.takes to run a household in food requirements, ete.All this knowledge is valuable when estimates are being compiled as to probable ¢ost of upkeep in an institution of the above nature.- Thus, the belief is held that a good representation of the ladies of the district should be present at the meeting to be held in the County Building, on Saturday, January 16th, at 2 pm.They should feel perfectly within their rights to attend this meeting and they can be sure that they will be welcome.Many ladies have already signified an interest in the project and numbers have expressed themselves as being deeply in favor of a hospital for Huntingdon.Further to this, if a Hospital Board is set up, it should include some members of the female sex.The ladies have a better knowledge of economy and what constitute efficient operation than most men, because it is part of their duty to do the buying for their homes and to look after the furnishing and upkeep of same.With the foregoing in mind.it is hoped that a goodly number of ladies will plan to attend the meeting on Saturday.Thé outcome of this meeting will decide just what will be done and how it will be accomplished.The sooner this stage in the proceedings is established, the sooner a hospital in Huntingdon will become an actual fact.£ Z æ Canada\u2019s Nutrition Campaign TARTING on January 4th, Canada commenced an educational program of the nutritional values of the foods the people of the nation eat.With the health of all the people vitally at stake during the pressing war time needs, the campaign is aimed at keeping that health up to the highest possible mark.It has been found that the proper foods; eaten in the proper amounts with éfnphasig placed on the calories and vitaming éontent, will do much to maintain a better health intensity.It has been found that about 70 per cent of the population do not know what the difference between a calorie and a vitamin is, or for that matter what they really mean as a part of the healthful life of the person.A calorie is the unit or measurement of energy which will be produced by eating certain foods.A vitamin is one of a group of substances necessary to maintain certain bodily functions and for the prevention of certain- ailments.If we lack in either one or the other, or both, we naturally suffer in health.Thus it will be seen how important it is to the health of every individual to study calories and vitamins as they affect the food they eat.Some foods are high in content of one or the other, some other foods have a percentage of both.When these foods are fed in balanced proportion, they provide the highway to healthful living.0; .The foods suggested for a healthiuyl living are: Fruit, citrus and other\u2014one serving of each; Bread\u20144 to 6 slices; Cereals\u2014one serving; Milk\u2014half pint, and cheese; Vegetables \u2014green and yellow; Meat, Fish, elc.\u2014one serving.In looking over the way people feed on the above foods we find the following.There are only 3% deficient on meats, etc.; 10% on vegetables; 25% on milk and cheese; 40% on Bread and Cereals and 83% defjcient on fruit.It is further noted that those in lower income bracket show a greater percentage of deficiency in foods than those in the higher in- éome, this of course would be natural on account of proportion of buying power.But this fact must be remedied, because the lower income bracket mostly represents the worker, and he is the one that must be efficient in health if we are to do our war job thoroughly.+ Those in this lower income bracket maintain healthful standards in meats, potatoes, cereals and bread but show a deficiency in other kinds of foods.The number of discharges from the armed services and rejections on account of medical unfitness, has reached alarming proportions.It is clearly shown that Canada needs some education along the lines of cprrect nourishment and nutritional values.To aid in this campaign, which is sponsored by Nutrition Services, Dept.of Pensions and National Health, Ottawa, many business firms have signified their willingness to contribute space in newspapers and magazines, also by using their house organs in acquainting their workers of proper eating as it affects health, as well as to inform the public generally.\u2018 Such contributions are regarded as the right thing ¢o do during wartime, as they help to keep the people properly informed as well as keeping the mame of the firm or business who is sponsoring the messages, before the public eye.Every firm or business can sponsor the campaign because it is in the interests of everybody to see À that the health of the nation is maintained to the highest possible standard.As pointed out, it also provides a means whereby these persons can keep the name of their business before the public while serving the public in a worthwhile and commendable manner.\u2018The slogan of the campaign is \u201cEat Right \u2014Feel Right\u2014Canada Needs You Strong.\u201d Commentaries are being made over the air, through the news papers, by speakers at clubs and institutions and magazines are devoting considerable space to see that the people are thoroughly made aware of the importance of the campaign, Possibly this campaign could he rated as second in importance to the Victory Loan campaign.We must have a healthy people in order to carry out our wartime program and beat the Axis partners, without that the money would be of little use.It is up to each and everyone of us to give this matter much thought and to see what we can do to bring about the proper education of the people to eat right, to feel right and be strong.In times past we have heard of the funds for under-nourished and under- priviledged children, we must abolish this necessity, there must be no more of it.The children of today are the men and women of tomorrow, we must see that they have a nutrition diet which will build strong and healthy bodies.More attention must be paid ot the nutritional values taught in our schools, so that future generations will reap the benefit.It is not just a week's campaign, but a year-round campaign, we must keep impressing the value of nutrition on the public mind all the year round.Only in this way can the campaign be successful.To this end it becomes a patriotic duty of business firms and advertisers to promote the campaign through donating space in their advertisements and telling their customs or workers, the value of choosing the proper types of food which will give them the greatest health-giving results.BE RA A æ The Post War Era ANY plans are being advanced to be considered as part of the post war era, some are suggested by government officials, some by officials of Unions, some by the working man and woman.While it is desirable that some thought should be given to the after war period, it does not seem logical that any cut and dried plan can be set down until peace has been secured.However, out of the batch of ideas there are some which appeal to us and which we believe could be implemented with a view to insuring the extent of business conditions and employment after the war.In the United States, a suggestion has been put forward by certain business heads that people be allowed to make payments on behalf of post war purchase of automobiles, refrigerators, radios and such like articles which have been banned as a result of war restrictions.Such payments would give the persons the right to priority of purchase after the war, and provide manufacturers with an idea of the volume of business they may expect and to what extent they could continue to give employment to their present workers.There is no doubt but that such a plan would be taken up by a large number of people and it would help in providing a certain amount of prosperity after the war, when the slump which is inevitable, comes.Possibly war bonds could be assigned _for this purpose and while the money would \u201cstill.be available.for war purposes, it would also provide the statistics for a.post war per- * lod.Thus a double purpose would be served.Looking at the idea at this time, it is almost pertain that people will be \u2018buying such articles as those mentioned, when the war is over, and by that time there may be many replacements required.If some plan could be worked out which would give an idea of the extent of this buying, manufacturers would be in a better position to know what their requirements would be in the way of employees.There seems to be some thought along the _ lines of railroading, whereby the steam engine may disappear and be replaced by locomotives powered by Diesel engines, Airplanes may displace ships for ocean travel and developments in radio may revolutionize certain types of industry.If these things come to pass, then it is quite likely industry will hold its own and tide over the after war slump.\"If the idea of freedom from want is to be a feature of the Post War Era, then it will be necessary to check up on all ideas which have a, chance of keeping persons gainfully eminloy- ed.An article in \u201cThe Labor Review\u201d gives an\u2019 account of an interview with a worker in a munitions factory.The worker wants to know what will happen to him and the thousands of others like him as well as the thousands of men and women who will return from overseas after this war is over.He makes an appeal to the employer to give the matter some thought and be ready to use his capital in keeping people working after the war has ended.He says that if it is possible to supply money and keep people employed for a war, then it should be a double duty to do so in times of peace.He goes on to say that it the matter is not given proper consideration by the employer, then the \u2018worker through his union will have to do it, The unions are more powerful today then ever before and can add great weight to their propositions.All of the foregoing provides food for thought as to a post-war era and be kept in mind as part of the post-war planning.There must also be some planning for the social life \u2018of the people of this Dominion which will follow somewhat the lines suggested in the Bev- eridge report as published in England.More assistance should be given to people wishing to build their own homes, especlally those with slender means.Such a scheme would provide There is no» doubt that everyone will be looking for a better world to live in after this war is over and all that has been said about the purpose for which we are fighting it.It nnot be allowed to drift along as things did ter the last war which brought with it one the worst depressions ever experienced in world, Something must be done and the which are made must be put into effect people will feel that they really denied themecives and fought for the survival of freedom df liberty and a better world to live in, Es THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER December 30 The Chronology that usually appears in this columm, taken from menuscripts written by the late Robert Sellar, founder of the Gleaner, when compiling data for the History of this District, will give place this week to a new collection of hardships the public recently en- cured.The ice storm that hit the Cha- teauguay Valley on Wednesday, December 30, 1942, disrupted all our utility services except the water system, With industrial plants shut down a day before New Year's Day, many people thought they would get to their homes a day earlier.Those who figured on getting home by train, found there was a railway wreck at the N.Y.O.junction which tneant passengers did not get started on schedule, Some then thought they would attempt travel by bus, they started, got to Brysonville only to be obliged to return to Huntingdon.The second attempt by bus got them as far as Ste-Martine when they had to return, but when they got to Bryson- ville the bus went into the ditch.Passengers then secured a taxi to take them back to Howick where they spent the night.On New Year's Day they took the train for Montreal.It took one man 40 hours to travel to his home a little over 50 miles from Huntingdon.Sub-Lieut.Donald C.McDonald and Mrs.McDonald were visiting with Mr.and Mrs.Ken Rutherford.Not knowing the C.N.R.train did not go up to Fort Covington on New Year's Eve, they headed for Carr's Station around 6.30 New Year's morning.They waited at the station for an hour and a half, and by this time sufficient daylight made it possible for a near-by farmer to note there were people at the station.The farmer wended his way to the station and told the passengers that there was no train up on New Year\u2019s Eve, but he did not know the reason, why.Telephone communications were so disrupted that people a short distance from Huntingdon did not know the morning C.N.R.train had figured in a train wreck.With no train returning to deliver empty milk cans and receive more milk, farmers were faced with the difficulty of having no cans to store the milk.Trucks were loaded with milk, but the state of the roads made it impossible for them to travel to Montreal.Farmers today use electric power to pump water, without power, many farmers had to spend day after day pumping water by hand or hauling it from a river.One farmer with ninety head of stock had to haul water from 7 am.til night.The shortage of containers to haul water made the matter all the more tedious and laborious.W.C.Tedstone had to throw away approximately $20 worth of ice cream as it had started to melt, due to there being no electric current to keep the refrigerator cold.A heavy branch of an elm tree fell on the house roof of Mr.John Smaill, breaking through the roof into a bedroom.No extra stoves that could be used were available in town, consequently Mrs.W.Beckinghpam, who had an abundance of hot water heated by à jacket heater made heated soup through the use of hot running water, otherwise cold meals or go out for meals, proved to be the onder of the day for a period of nine days.The Town of Huntingdon water pumping system operates by electric power.The auxiliary engine is operated by gasoline and it took 1500 gallons of gasoline to keep Hunting- don supplied with water during the nine days we were without electric power.It cost the town as much for gasoline as it would take to do the same work with electric power for a six weeks\u2019 period of time.Many places with oil burning furnaces and blowers were greatly inconvenienced.The natural draft would in scie homes prove to be sufficient to burn the small coal and wood, but the furnace consumed two to three times as much fuel and no control over the amount of heat was possible.It was a job to keep the blower furnaces fired.Where oil burner furnaces were used it was necessary to drain the radiators or convert the furnace to burn coal The plumbérs were more than kept busy catering for such heating installations.Captain J.M.Hunter and Mrs.Hunter were preparing for a dinner pasty in honour of a young couple who are to be married at an early date; the power went off, the house got cold, the party had to be cancelled even though the table was se! - {and the turkey ready to be popped into the electric oven.La Gazette de Valleyfleld was supposed to be printed on Wednesday afternoon, December 30.The type was all set but how could the press be driven.Not until Monday did the newspaper hit the street; and it would not have been possible even then, except for the kindness of the Empire Garage who had a new tractor driven into the Gleaner plant which was hitched Up to the printing press.All employees of The Huntingdon Gleaner Inc.were afforded an opportunity to work 7 hours per day, although all the mills in town were literally shut down with but a skeleton staff who made repairs or kept the plants in condition that the cold would not cause undue trouble.Once La Gazette de Valleyfield was printed, the tractor was taken to Huntingdon Woollen Mills Ltd, when it was used to great advantage.When the power went off in Hunt- ingdon, there was a large quantity of wool in the huge electric washers in that building, and as the wool was in a solution that would tend to damage it if it was not immediately washed, rinsed and dried, the problem was solved by using the power from this tractor and that of Mr.Charles Reid to operate the washers, extractors and dryers.Pive gasoline engines were also in use at the Woollen Mills, running the stokers that kept up sufficient temperature to prevent any of the.pipes from freezing.However, one inconven- fence that this concern is now suffering is that they no longer have well water, as the pipes leading to the well are frozen.Huntingdon station employees were relieved of the tedious and boring task of answering \u2018elephone calls for a few days when the phones were out of order.In fact, if the \u2018phones had been in order, STORM \u2014\" - BRIEFS to January 8 questions could not have been answered satisfactorily, as even station to station calls were impossible.As yet, it is impossible to send telegrams, and it is not known when this service will be obtainable.Huntingdon High School re-open- ed on Monday, but the pipes in the stone building were frozen, and as a result its doors were not opened until Tuesday.A gasoline engine was used to operate the blower in the main school, and therefore no actual damage was caused there by the storm.Fry-Cadbury reported that they received 25% less milk during the storm; however, this was just as well, because the milk had to be separated and churned into butter at the plant.This plant, as well as those Leach Textiles Ltd., Spinners Ltd, and Fawcett and Grant Ltd., maintained sufficient heat without the use of blowers, to keep their pipes from freezing.Any person being fortunate enough to own a gasoline engine was very popular for a few days, as these power units were very much in demand, Some engines that had not been used for several years were hauled out and brought into play.The Huntingdon Chateau made use of such an engine to operate the blower on their furnace, and thereby kept the building comfortable.Being prepared for any eventuality, a large stock of candles, coal oil and lamps were also available, and the difficulty was overcome in a commendable manner.The tavern was closed at 6 p.m.during the time the town was without electricity, for, although the place could have been lighted by lamps, it was decided that playing safe was better than having another great fire disaster, Little information could be procured from the Bell Telephone Company, but it was stated that no storm has damaged their lines as much since 1907, when there was an equally disastrous ice storm.At the preseht time, 74 rural lines are alleged to be out of order, and the officials themselves haven't the slightest idea of when the lines can be repaired, .Chateauguay Barracks was, of course, also without lights, but the men took it in their stride and \u201ccarried on\u201d in the best possible manner.There was little confusion, and no damage was reported.The huts are heated by wood and coal heaters while the meals are cooked on wood and coal ranges, and as a result the only discomfort was the lack of electric lights.The lights in Huntingdon residences came on about 7 pm.on Friday, Many people were caught reading and working by lamps and candles for some time after that, very much unaware of the fact that they could again have decent illumination by the mere pressing of a switch.One young lady walked into her home an hour and a half after the lights came on and saw her mother and sister reading by a lamp.Another person was surprised when he heard a radio playing, which fiad never been turned off since the power service was interrupted.Street lights came on quite early on Saturday evening, to the satisfaction of hundreds of people.Little damage was reported while the street lights were off, but a short time after they came on a car collided with a truck at the corner of Bouchette and Hunter streets.confusion at McCoy's corner, when a runaway horse mounted the front steps of the store, tore around the corner of the building between a lamp post and the front of the store, scaring people off the sidewalk and breaking the sleigh to smithereens.The horse continued its wild careen up the sidewalk and made an abrupt turn into an alley half-way up the street, coming to a halt only when it reached the place where it is stabled.In its mad rush before it came to McCoy's corner, the arimal tore between two lines of parked autos, causing the own to turn pale as it missed their Cars by à hair\u2019s breadth.People were dubious about rejoicing over the milder weather that was experienced on Monday, Jan.11th as they feared that the dull day might be a prelude to another session of disruption and confusion.However, such was not the case.Throughout the nine days, coal oil was hard to get, the demand De- ing so great the stores were almost continually being sold out.Lamps were sold out in quick order.Candles were at a premium.Mrs.McMillan and Mrs, Cruikshank operate -a boarding house and one night at house, and 21 people to go to bedi Fortunately a few more candles were resurrected before bedtime.Flashlights, batteries and bulbs were in such a demand that the store stocks were exhausted in short order.Evening church services were cancelled on Sunday.During the morning services, the organs which dre usually pumped by electric power had to be pumped by hand-power.On New Year's Eve the C.P.R.announced that no trains would leave Windsor Station.People intending to come to Huntingdon on the 6.25 p.m, N.Y.C.train, later learned that around 9.30 a train would leave Montreal, The train did leave, only to arrive in Huntingdon something after 1 am.The C.N.R.train which carries the mail, did not get to Hunt- ingdon until around 3 a.m., in place of early in the evening.Though the week was bitterly cold, housewives were forced to go out and do their shopping for there wes no phone service, and in some cases the stores had no delivery service.Many ladies were wondering what they would do to overcome the weekly wash difficulty which arose through the power shut-off.They could not use their washers and wringers or electric irons and they could not bear the thought of wringing by hand; even if that were successful, how could they iron?One lady saw a way out of the difficulty: she washed the clothes with a brush and board, used one of the oki hand wringers and ironed with the old- fashioned flat irons, She had her washing done on time, but she said she never realized how long jt took to iron clothes with the old-fash.foned irons.Fortune's Estate Store had at least one electric light when the main power bots The manager up 8

Montreal on New Year's Eve with the idea that they would ar- Jive in Huntingdon in the early evening, but arrived instead in the early morning of New Year's Day.They intended to visit at the hon\\: of Mr.and Mrs.Stanlev Azderson, parentYtf Mrs Tuanelly, at The Gore, but due to telephone communication being storm bound, were unable to get in touch with them.They found room at the Chateau for the rest of the night.Next morning, they tried to buy some milk for the child, but being New Year's Day, all the stores were closed.A kindly person who was told of their plight gave them two cans of milk and overcame this difficulty, but they stil could not get in touch with their people.At last they started out to walk and were fortunate in locating a sleigh going in their direction which finally took them home to more comfortable surroundings.A middle-aged lady was travelling from Montreal to à nearby station, when the train was held at a point where it was to meet another train and transfer certain coaches.The second train was late in arriving, so the first train had to wait in order to supply heat to coaches for the passengers.The wait was a considerable one, during which time no one had anything to eat and only a little water to drink.However, the train finally arrived at the point where the lady was due.The lady alighted togebher with a young girl, both had a little distance to go, it was bitterly cold, and dark and there was no one there to meet them.They both started out through the deep snow, but the elder lady had difficulty in getting along and became almost exhausted.The young girl went on ahead and procured the services of some young lads and a toboggan and got the elderly lady to safety.Had this lacy made the doubtedly been overcome.The lighting and power facilities were resumed in Ormstown on Sun- Gay night, January 10th, at about 815, while service was resumed In Howick very shortly after on the same evening.It is thought that the full services offered by the Shawinigan Light and Power Co.will be resumed hy the end of next week.Service station attendants were also afforded a holiday during the storm, as the majority of Hunting- don gasoline pumps are operated by electricity A few unsuspecting motorists, meaning to keep their tires well inflated, merely allowed air to escape from the tubes when they attempted to use the \u201cfree air\u201d hoses.As a result, more than one motorist was forced to look up the old reliable hand pump.Last, but not least, dentists were also obliged to recognize the forced holiday, much to the discomfiture of people who had temporary fillings in their mouths.However, their time, as that of many other people, was profitably: used by repairing bridge-work and pulling teeth, when necessary.Rural housewives found they were up against it in supplying the festive board with the usual plates of bread.Home-made.bread is not generally made\u201d throughout the country, but last week many had to resort to making good home-made bread.A recent bride, who lives on a farm, had but pastry flour in her pantry and no yeast, consequently that household had no bread for a week except one or two loaves they managed to get from a country store.The store rationed its bread out so sible; but was unable to replenish its stock.Yeast cakes were sold out in many stores.Mr: J.H.Provost, manager of the Huntingdon branch of the Shawinigan Water and Power Co., reported that his crews are now repairing broken lines and approximately 100 broken poles.Emergency linemen from 8t.Joseph

labourers.Huntingdon district had extra help from Sorel and Portneuf.The men worked about 12 hours a day under seve weather conditions, were .vused in private homes as well as the Huntingdon Chateau.Hunting- don lines went dead at 12.55 p.m.on Dec.30 and were energized on January 8 at 7 pm, and Mr.Provost states that he expects to have all the lines of the district in working order by the end of next week, which will be a boon to the many farmers who have been forced to carry water for their cattle, cisterns, ete.Huntingdon beauticlans had a prolonged holiday while the power was off, much to the concern of themselves and their customers.As one local hairdresser stated, \u2018\u201cThe only thing we could do was give manicures.\u201d Local barbers, also, were having a slack time; however, when they had a customer, it took them much longer to give a hair-cut, as they were forced to use hand clippers and scissors instead of the modern electric clipper.One local barber, however, was able to give service at night, he being fortunate enough to have an old-fashioned bracket gas-burning lamp, which afforded excellent Hlumination.The Farmers\u2019 Telephone Co.at Howick reports that 7 or 8 lines west of Howick village are down and that 24 consecutive poles in that district are down.A total of about 200 poles are down in the community.Many broken lines caused a black-out in Howick, but.this was remedied in a few days.Rural lines in rural Ste.\\ Iz has been the policy of this Bank through the years to loan money for the current needs of firms and individuals.The services and resources of The Canadian Bank of Commerce are.widely known.All these facilities are available to you.We shall be glad to have you call and learn at first hand of the friendly consideration this Bank extends to all in need of this banking service.THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER According to a recent story in Time Magazine, while daily papers are waning, weekly papers are constantly picking up.Time reports that since 1929 weeklies have gained in circulation and advertising lineage while the daily group has fallen off.\u2018Time says that the radio has cut in on the daily group till they are squeezed hard, both in news and in advertising.On the other hand, Time points out that the field of the weekly has not much to offer the radio\u2014the advertising field is limited and the news that the small community wants, the radio can't supply them.Therefore, then, says Time, the well-edited and newsy weekly paper fills a place in a large community that no other agency can possibly touch.The news carried by the weekly paper is of no interest to the world at large but it is of vital Interest to the district which it serves; and the good weeklies are serving larger districts being print ed at some central point, containing news brought in by a good news gathering source.Interesting, too, to note was Time's statement that a country editor rarely gets rich, that he works from 60 to 80 hours a week, rarely has time to read a book, and has to be mighty careful what he prints, Martine and Ormstown east are also down, and it cannot be determined when these lines will be energized.The Manager of any of our branches will be glad to have, \u2018you call - ; which 20% 1% ~ and the Bank can help you.any matters in\u2019 MUST REGISTER ON OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER,

of the new problem that putting girls on the assembly lines had created.?A few weeks ago Mary was invited to spend a week-end at a training base for civilian and industrial morale.She came hame on Monday morning with a new idea of what she could do to win the war.The idea was good enough to \u201cup\u201d production in her department 33% the very first day that she put it into effect.Three weeks later the foreman reported that co-operation had increased 100% Mary's was a simple formula.There wasn't anyfhing very new about it.It worked if you ed it.This is what she wrote out and what the foreman had printed and passed all around the plant, 1.We girls have come to realise!IB how serious the production situation is, It is time for us to act.2.Instead of.fighting each other, we can all fight together.3.We can avoid wasting time and making mistakes by co-operating\u2019 with each other.We cap admit our owq mistakes instead of blaming the other fellow.4, We, the little people, have

article entitled \u201cExercise for Health\u201d declares that physical activity in the form of games and sports, gymnastics, swimming, dancing and in a milder form, in walking and hiking, is a most valuable way of enabling a person to keep healthy or to regain his health.Dr, Ryerson goes on to say that at rest, with a heart rate of 0 a minute, the total blood in the body flows through the heart arteries, capillaries, veins and back to the heart, in about 100 seconds.During vigorous exercise, the blood completes this cycle in about 20 seconds, with the result that the cells of all the organs and tissues of the body have blood brought to them in their capillaries five times as often during exercise as during rest, in consequence of which, the quality of the cell's structure is made better and the efficiency of their function is improved.«The practice of some people,\u201d he says, \u201cof never walking upstairs or hufrying or participating in any \u2018form \u2018of physical exercise with the object of conserving the heart, is not for the lack of any increase in \u2018the blood flow to its \u2018muscular wall is more apt to lead to its weakness and possible disaster an the habit of making these ef- orts periodically as a means of maintaining the quality of the heart muscle in good condition.\u201d He points out that the increase lin the demand of the active muscles for more oxygen in the blood com- {ng to them makes a person breathe more rapidly and more deeply, thereby taking more air into the {lungs and using more lung .alveoli 89c and \u2018at the same time causing a greater flow through the capillaries in their walls.This increased ex- | pansion of the lung tissue and increased functional activity of its substance brings about an improvement in the quality of the lung structure, .- Combined with adequate rest, physical exercise, emphasizes Dr.Ryerson, benefits every part of the human body.It also stimulates the brain, keeping the body and mind as a total unity.Its purpose Is physical at first, but subsequently | (by harnessing, controlling and cul- |tivating the body) it can awaken and diseipline the human mind and THE \u2018HONTINGHON There is only

after tslking a while he said, \u201cMrs.Wylie, I think I will have my_tea now\u201d, it was not half an hour after his dinner.In starting for the bush he would tie some woollen rags over the edge of his axe for fear he might fall and cut himself, which amused us.He preached, Sunday about with another young man, whose name I cannot recall, in Thos, Brown's house.He was a fair preacher, I came in Maroh \u20181 and my wife and his wife were the first women to walk from the lake to the Chateauguay, and which they did in June of that year., I remember of Peter McArthur driving up McWattie in a traineau, drawn by two horses tandem.They went on to Elgin either to baptise or marry and we were warned he would preach when he came back on the Sabbath.We waited a long while for him.He preached in Percy's bar-room.I think he was somewhat tipsy.He let the Bible fall on his feet.He baptised a daughter of James Paul's, (who became wife of Thos.Biggar).I do not think Marlin preached Pe SRT TRS

the hilly where there are graves on the road to Chateauguay.In Bowron's mill there was a small bolt, which the farmer had to turn.by hand, slashes or clearings up and down the river, as if where a settler had made a beginning and then left, The clearing at St.Andrew's graveyard was no more, I think, than the chopping down of the large timber by the lumbermen, The only funeral I was at in the year near Col.Reid's was that of a child of Wm.Peake's, who lved where Malcolmn McNaughton is.The body was carried to Palnier\u2019s where we crossed in a canoe.There was no service.I recollect

after, never fail.Puel and lumber while the war continues are not going to get any cheaper, nor probably for a long time after- wi 5 What is the most satisfactory kind of woodiot to have?D.Roy Camer- cn, Dominion Forester, gives the answer.He says it is one on which there is a stand of trees of uneven age, small, young trees, half grown trees and old trees mixed indiscriminately through the lot.The reason for this is that there is a supply of full grown trees to be cut each year to be replaced by seedlings.Young stands of trees will not provide a full crop of wood each year until the trees have become fully grown.However, On many of these young stands the trees may be too thick and when from 3 to 5 inches in diaméter many may die from suppression.Thin them out, urges Mr.Cameron, by cutting a few of the slower growing trees every year or so.This will give a supply of wood each year until the stand has become fully grown.There are owners of woodlots who may boast that not a stick of wood has been removed for perhaps 50 years.Such a stand of trées cannot grow properly and the owners get no returns from it.Just as it is necessary to thin carrots or other vegetables to get the best crops, so it is just as necessary to thin out.trees in the woodiot.spirit.year.\u2018 GEQ, L.COLLUM, _ HINMAN MILKERS The Proof of the Milker is in the Milking.That \u201cis why the Hinman

according to Canadian nutrition standards.Canadian civilians should follow Canada's Official Food Rules to be as fit as Canadian fighting men.WEEK IN Certainly a new atmosphere pervades hearth and home in this country at the dawn of this New Year.It is just the same we may be sure in other allied countries.Here in the capital of the Dominion, the successes of the arms of the United Nations have strengthened a spirit of quiet confidence that however long victory may still be delayed, however great may be the trials and sacrifices in front of us the day of deliverance from the most hideous nightmare that has ever afflicted mankind will come, This confidence is clearly reflected in the year-end messages that are being sent out by United Nation leaders.These messages are a clarion call for an intensified wholehearted co-operative effort from everyone so that the time of the world's agony will be shortened.Here in Canada the people may contemplate in retrospect a year of gathering effort, an air training scheme that has passed its third milestone and whose graduates in increasing numbers are fighting in European, African and Asiatic skies as well as on constant patrol duty on our own continent, a navy of over 500 ships helping to keep open the vital sea-lanes of the Atlantic, and the First Canadian army in Britain, constantly adding to its strength, equipped and trained to the minute and impatiently waiting for the gong of continental invasion to strike.There has been much praise of the calibre of our fighting forces and of the quantity and quality of production of our equipment plant from war chiefs and governmental leaders of the United Nations during the past year, At the year-end on the war, economic and political fronts here in Canada, rationing has been extended to include a product of Canadian farms, butter, the department of labour has reorganized its machinery of administration which will have a direct bearing on the most pressing problems of the war effort, the distribution of manpower, and to Ottawa will shortly come a new leader of.the Progressive Conservative party, John Bracken who will when he has got a seat, lead the Opposition in the House of Commons.These are important if isolated facts.They are all factors of influence on the activities of the nation at war.It is difficult to see that the rationing of butter will involve any real hardship to the Canadian cone sumer.The amount provided for each person by the ration tickets, one half a pound weekly, is stated to be about the average consumption.Ratloning, however, is aimed primarily at a more equitable distribution of butter.There is no question that in sbme seétions hoarding of butter brought serious shortages.Hoarding is a genuine disservice to one's fellow citizens and to the state, and the war effort of EA EAE EE AE EN ACCRA SI CCRC EAR) izens do not allow themselves to become the victims of that particular type of war nervousness that finds expression laying up abnormal supplies in cellars and other storerooms.Wholehearted co-oper- ation founded on the self-discipline of a virile individualism which is the hall mark of true democracy will keep rationing at a minimum.There is probably no public, question on which it is so difficult to get a true perspective as the manpower problem.There is no doubt of the existence of the problem a fact of which the people will become increasingly aware when parliament meets in the latter part of January.There will be lots of debate on the subject on the floor of the House of Commons.One hears about the strain of an inadequate supply of labour in industry, in lumbering, on farms, and the question constantly intrudes itself in our anxious minds: will there be enough reinforcements for our armed forces when the great testing hour arrives?There has beernr discussion, which many belleve cannot be anything but inconclusive if not futile, on the relative importance of the various branches of the \u201cwar effort.A tank is no good without a trained man to operate it, and the man is no good without his equipment to fight and the man must be clothed and fed; also civilians must eat and our allies supplied to the extent of our resources and power.It Is furthermore easier to ask for a \u201cbalanced\u201d effort than to carry out such an effort.It is still too early to see what fruits the reorganization of the labor department by Humphrey Mitchell will bring forth, but certain principles underlying the change are clear.In matters of policy, and this includes selective service, there will be centralization of responsibility.The minister with the cabinet behind him will give general direction, At the same time regional boards, on which the authorities must depend for advice and guidance will be given some autonomy.As far as possible administration will be decentralized.Each of the nine branches into which the functions of the labour department is now divided will have a direct~ ing head and there will be an associate directer of selective service to carry some of the great burdens of that office.Selective service will have the advantage of the full use of the Unemployment Insurance employment offices, but it is pointed out that there will be no interference with the autonomy of the Insurance Commission in carrying out its insurance duties, and in the collection of dues.Selective service will be judged in the coming year by the extent to which women will increase the part they play in war industry, the progress made in turning labour from non-essential industry to war needs, and the way the whole available human resources of the country are distributed among activities where they can make a maximum contéfbution to the war effort.Opinions of Others \u2026 QUEBEC'S OLD DAIRY INDUSTRY BUSY history.tween 1608 and of cattle in New France.The Provincial Bureau of Statistics reveals that Quebec's dairies and farms are busy in an attempt to meet the increasing demand for their products.November butter production reached 4,983,495 pounds as compared with 4,006,486 for the corresponding month in 1941, while the cheese output amounted to 2,610,- 908 pounds, an increase of 88.9 per cent.compared with November of last year.The respective increases show that the dairy people are on the job.They can extend themselves still further, for their wares

HUNTINGDON GLEANER RANDOM | JOTTINGS (By Gleaner) It is quite possible that tea parties and social gatherings will take on a weird appearance in the very near future.The W.P.T.B.has recently decided that cups will be made without handles in order to save labor and time.Just imagine drinking real hot beverages from a cup without a handle.In order to prevent burning one\u2019s fingers, it will become necessary to provide guests \u2018 with mitts or gloves, so they can enjoy the beverage without injury to the fingers.Thus we shall see persons at social gatherings and such like wearing their finger protectors \u2018while drinking their coffee.If this is not done, there are likely to be \u2018more broken cups and spoiled | dresses, as the hot cup is allowed to slip from the burned fingers.It is i quite possible there will be many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.There is liable to be a rationing | of newsprint this year.Newsprint is | the commodity or paper upon which \u2018rewspapers are printed.If this ra- | tloning takes effect, it is quite likely | the newspapers will be smaller or of 'a different size to conform with the regulations.The regulations will affect all types of newspapers, mag- .Elliott, 2nd Class Ambulance; the inspector is therefore autho- |azines and so forth and may even mean that certain types of publica- .tions may disappear for the

themselves without a sufficient number of clerks to wait upon their | customers, so it has been suggested that they arrange their stores on the ! serve-yourself style.It is hoped also | that this method will further release | men and women for service in muni- | tion factories and in the armed \"forces.It is further stated that it | will provide a means for the_small \"merchant to stay in business.It has been suggested in the United States that arrangements be made , whereby people can make paymerits ' for post-war buying on such articles as cars, radios, washing machines, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, electric stoves and a number of the other banned articles.Such payments, it is said, will give these people priority in the matter of purchasing them after the war.and also give the manufacturers a good idea as to the volume of after-the-war business they can look forward to.It would also prevent present workers being thrown out of employment as soon as the war ended and a slump occurred, The payments could be made to the finance companies just as in peace time and a credit slip would be isued, then whatever had accrued up to the i time the war ended, would be placed against the purchase desired, and if not then in full, the payments would continue along in the ordinary way until the full purchase price had \u2018been met.It is also thought that | much money is being placed in savings accounts at the present time to , provide funds for post-war buying.{If this money were allowed to be placed against and credited on the purchase of the articles desired, it | would be in circulation and doing \u2018more gogd for the war effort.Finance companies would re-invest this money in war bonds, etc.This is an idea that is well worth considering | as it will be a help.to balancing the after war slump which is bound to | come.There is certain to be a number of these articles to br replaced, and there will be a number of new buyers.If these prospeclive purchasers could be lined up and interested in making payments, it would insure that a certain number of employees could be retained to work on the articles required.War Bonds and | War Savings will no doubt be used | for post-war buying and possibly | some intimation could be gained to { what extent this would be done.Trout River | On Jan, 8, 43, Miss Ida Anderson

available to meet the most essential needs, farm machine rationing had been found necessary, said H.H.Bloom, Administrator for Farm and Construction Machinery and Municipal Equipment, at the Domi- rdon Provincial Agricultural Conference, recently held in Ottawa.Even with rationing it might not be possible to take care of every essential need but it would insure the best possible form of equitable distribution.Care had been taken to insure allocation of available supplies for Western and Eastern Canada so that all parts of the Dominion would secure a fair share of tonnage.The Canadian farmer, therefore, is assured of equal treatment with farmers in the United States.Ratlon- ing, co-operative use of implements, and maintaining machines in operation were the answers to the 1943 situation.Features of the rationing system are (a) each manufacturer and importer is required to make an equitable allocation of available supply to each Province.(b) A farm machinery rationing officer thoroughly conversant with farm conditions and agricultural implement business is attached to a designated office of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board within each Province.He deals with each applicdtion to purchase and determines the essentiality of the application in relation to supply.(¢) In addition to the rationing officer, two consultants are appointed, an outstanding agricultural authority and an outstanding farmer, who, being fully conversant with the territory concerned, will deal chiefly in reviewing appeals, giving decisions relating to the transfer of quotas, and such like matters.If a farmer is in need of an essential piece of equipment and cannot obtain it without purchase, he places his order with the implement dealer and fills in the es- can supply the goods, completes the form, forwards it to his principal who, in turn, submits it to the farm machinery rationing officer.If this officer determines that the need is essential in relation to the short supply, he will issue a \u201cpermit to sell\u201d, enabling the supplier to make delivery.If the application is rejected, the applicant may appeal which will be considered by the rationing officer and the agricultural consultants, Farm Notes .A sale was recently negotiated whereby Mr.Lyall Graham, of Rockburn, purchased the farm of Mr.Otis W.Travisee, of Herdman.Mr.Graham, who has operated a successful

are worth remembering amidst our hopes for the New Year,\u2014 Before me, even as behind, «God is\u2014and all is well.\u2014Whittier.Ah! when shall all men\u2019s good Be each man's rule, and universal peace Lie like a shaft of light across the land, And like a lane of beams across the sea Through all the circle of the golden year! \u2014Tennyson The Divine plan for our different lives is like a mosaic, each needed to make the whole.\u2014H.C.8.The great use of a life is to spend it for something that outlasts it.\u2014Willlam James.It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.\u2014Old Chinese proverb.As we glance again over the above quotations culled from a gift calendar, the thought comes that Whittier\u2019s portrait shows the benign look of a man who really lived himself\u2014in the belief and trust expressed in his words.When Tennyson sings of universal peace he 1s prophet as well as poet, and touches a chord in the war-weary hearts of today.But the prophets of the Bible were preachers and reformers, not mere foretellers of future events.Tennyson, also, gives the direction which men must take in order to have the blessing of ce\u2014unselfish consideration for their fellows, \u201call men\u2019s good,\u201d not just \u201cMe and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more,\u201d as a more prosaic rhymer Ahan Tennyson has worded the viewpoint of selfish souls.I wonder If H.C.S.was not a woman.At least the thought ex- ressed may aptly be applied to women's efforts both in the home and in war auxiliary labors.We connect everything these times with the overwhelming question of the world\u2019s struggle for liberty.The thought of Willlam James might lighten the gloom cast by the blotting out of many promising young lives, if only we could concentrate on the results of their sacrifice, and value it as it compares with longer but ignoble life, This Chinese proverb recalls another more modern saying, \u201cAll the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.\u201d Dewittville Capt.G.Ferns Cassidy returned to Camp Dundurn, Sask.on Tuesday, after a three weeks\u2019 furlough.Mrs.Cassidy
