THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER THE LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE DISTRICT OF BEAUHARNOIS HUNTINGDON, QUE., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23rd, 1944 Air Force Members From Valleyfield Air Training School Were in Charge of Military Honors The funeral of Pilot Officer, the late Alvin James Ness, Royal Canadian Air Force, son of Mr.and Mrs.Albert J.Ness of Howick, Que., who was Killed on Feb.8, 1944, in an aircraft accident off the west coast of Vancouver Island, was held from his father\u2019s residence to Georgetown Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, The service was conducted by his minister, the Rev.G.Edward Bing- ham, assisted by Flight Lieut.the Rev.W.C.Mercer, Chaplain of No.4 Aircrew Graduate Training School, Valleyfield, Que.A force of some ninety Royal Canadian Air Force officers and aircrew members from the Valleyfield Air Training School, under command of Flying Officer J.Findlay, R.C.AF., comprising the bearer party, the armed escort and the firing party, marched, with muffled drums and at slow time, in, the cortege.Alvin Ness #enlisted in His Majesty's Royal Canadian Air Force on Aug.4, 1941, à few days after passing his 19th birthday.He trained at Ancien Lorette, at Lethbridge and Trenton, and at St.Hubert, receiving his wings at the latter station.He was posted to Boundary Bay Air Station, Coastal Command, R.C.AF., in the Vancouver area, and subsequently to the Tofino Air Station on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.On Tuesday, Feb.8th last, Pilot Officer Ness, in company with a second aircraft, was flying his Hurricane fighter, homeward bound on the Dawn Patrol.Twenty-five miles from its base the aircraft's engine tailed at an altitude of approximately 1000 feet.The plane plunged in- tc the sea, still under control.At the moment of impact Alvin Ness gave up his life, in line of duty, in the defence of his country.The body was recovered a short time later by a crash boat despatched from the Tofina Air Station.Tributes of the most spontaneous kind have come to the bereaved parents from across the Dominion.From Pilot Officer Ness\u2019 Squadron Leader came this word: \u201cAlvin came to this squadron when it was first formed and has been with it ever since, and from the first has been cne of the most outstanding pilots, always showing great keenness, courage and extreme devotion to duty.His great desire to go overseas was an inspiration to all who worked with him.I ask you to accept my deepest sympathy in the death of cne \u2018the Service can ill afford to lose.\u201d Pilot Officer Gordon Hill, R.- CAF, of Regina, close associate and friend of the deceased airman at Tofino, accompanied the remains on the long journey from the West Coast.THE LATE PILOT OFFICER ALVIN J.NESS =O by the Minister of Georgetown Church, the Rev.G.E.Bingham, from the text: \u201cGreater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.\u201d The remains were taken from the Church by the bearer party, through solid lines of airmen standing at the \u201cPresent Arms\u201d, to the Churchyard.The casket, covered with the Union Jack surmounted by the dead air officer\u2019s hat, was slowly lowered, as commands rang out for the depiloy- ing of the Firing Party.Following the solemn words of committal by the Minister, the Air Force Chaplain led in prayer and pronounced the benediction.Three volleys were then fired over the open grave, followed by the sounding of the Last Post.The ranking officers present then saluted their gallant fallen comrade, coming forward in turn, after which all Air Force personnel of the funeral party moved off to embus for Valleyfleld.Surviving are the airman\u2019s parents, and a sister, Mrs.Burton For- rester of Howick.Out of town relatives present included the following: Mr.and Mrs.John R.Bass, Wilton.Maine; Mr.and Mrs.Arnold Mc- Arthur, Grand Mere; Mr.and Mrs.David Ness, St.Johns, Que.; Mr.Wylie McArthur, Dundee, Que.; Prof.A.R.and Mrs.Ness, MacDonald College:

Club The Huntingdon Red Cross Branch is sponsoring another Blood Donors\u2019 Clinic at the Soldiers\u2019 Club, on Monday, March 6th.Full particulars as to time of attendance, how to enroll as a blood donor, etc., can be obtained from Miss M.Durnin by phoning 821 Huntingdon.In view of the forthcoming Red Cross Campaign and the fact that the Blood Donor Clinic will be held during the period of the campaign, it should serve as a strong reminder of what the Red Oross is trying to do to help save lives and help the war effort.That these clinics are a valuable aid is shown by the following story: \u201cFor six hours 21-year-old Lloyd Smith of the British Merchant Navy lay on the bottom of a lifeboat in the Caribbean Sea and waited for a rescue ship.His wheel-house companion had been killed.Twenty-one of his shipmates watched the distant horizon with anxious eyes.Their freighter had long since disappeared under the water.The German submarine had done its work.Finally in the grey dusk of morn- ng a column of smoke appeared in the western sky.Lloyd Smith could not raise himself to see it, but his companions eased his injured leg as best they could and told him that help was coming.Finally the ship in the distance became a reality.It stood by and waited for the weakened men to row the lifeboat in beside the rope ladder.Lloyd Smith was transferred aboard.Five minutes after he was brought into the ship's sick-bay he was given a blood transfusion from Red Cross powdered blood.An hour later he received a second.The life-giving transfusions and medical care enabled him to sleep for taree hours.When he awakened he was given another transfusion.In the meantime the rescue sup was nearing Panama.Before he transferred from the boat to the waiting ambulance a fourth transfusion of Red Cross blood was given.The ship's doctor knew that Lloyd Smith had an even chance to live.Cross blood had made it possible.For seven weeks he lay in 8 hospital in Panama.As each day passed he grew stronger.Finally he was ready to leave.He was sent to Montreal to fully recover from his Mildred Ness, Knowlton.visit from the doctor of the rescue ship.Only then did Lloyd Smith learn that if he had been in the lifeboat one more hour he would have bled to death.He realized then that he owed his life to the transfusions made possible by the powdered blood provided by the Canadian Red Cross.The day he reached Montreal\u2014 three months after he was wounded -he went to the Red Cross Clinic to give a blood donation.He said nothing about his personal experience until he had been accepted and had given three-quarters of a pint of blood.Then he told why he wanted to become a regular Red Cross blood donor.\u201cThe Red Cross gave me four transfusions,\u201d he said, \u201cand I want to pay back an equal number of donations.I realize it takes four donations to make one transfusion, but I should like to do all I can; after all, the Red Cross saved my life.I know that now.\u201d Lloyd Smith was in Montreal four months studying for his second mates papers.He gave a total of three donations in that time before he was finally called back to sea again.He said he would give the British Red Cross his fourth donation as soon as he reached England.\u201d The foregoing storv serves to show the deep appreciation felt by the men who receive blood transfusions made possible by people donating their blood at the various Blood Donor Clinics.It is a small offering but a valuable one, you will have your opportunity to make such an offering on March 6th.U.S.AIR FORCE

congestion on war-busy lines which, because of material shortages, cannot be extended.F'urther of course, there will be an obvious saving to users through the one-hour\u2019s lengthening of the night

Que, 22nd Pebruary.1944.Dear Fellow-Citizens: A nation-wide appeal for funds to maintain the work of the Canadian Red Cruss Socicty through the year 1644 is now being made and we, as co-chairmen of the Campaign Committee in the County of Huntingdon, wish to urge each citizen to do his or her best.In the Huntingdon areca cards have been delivered to most homes in order to afford contributors an opportunity to consider the matter and decide upon their donations before the canvassers call.Your cooperation in this respect will facilitate the work and be greatly appreciated.The benevolent work of the Red Cross being so well known must commend itself to your support but we would like to call attention to one important branch of its work; that is sending food parcels to prisoners of war.Each food parcel costs $2.75 and may be sent only through the Red Cross, therefore, we are confident that most of us will wish to make our minimum contribution sufficient to provide at least one parcel of food for our own men who have had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the enemy.We also wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the canvassers who so willingly took up the work this season.Let us all pull together and assure our fighting men, as well as the personnel of the Red Cross Society, that we are backing them 100 per cent.Yours faithfully, D.FAUBERT, W.K.PHILPS, Co-Chairmen, Huntingdon Red Cross Campaign Committee.Valleyfield to Have Handicrafts Exhibition An important exhibition of handicrafts will be held in Valleyfield during the course of the coming Summer, under the auspices of the Val- leyfield Junior Chamber of Com- nierce.This is the sequel to a decision arrived at by the executive committee of the Federation of Junior Chambers of Commerce, when it was agreed that a handicrafts exhibition should be organized each year in one or other of the cities where Jun- for Chambers of Commerce are established.In 1942 the exhibition was held in St.Hyacinthe, and last year in Rimouski.This year it is Valley- field's turn to do its share in helping display handicrafts art to the public al large.A committee is already at work on plans for this year\u2019s showing.and the opening date of the exhibition at Valleyfield will be announced later.EMPIRE CHIEF SCOUT oy Chief Scout of the British Empire, who succeeded Lord Baden-Powell, the

second anniversary and sald he was glad to be a part of the celebration.He likened the Club to the Good Samaritan because it was a place where the travelling soldier was helped along and given good cheer.All soldiers who passed through Huntingdon were travelling soldiers on their way to the battle lines, and the Club had helped them on their journey and none were passed by.He praised the people of Huntingdon for the time and money they had contributed toward the Soldiers\u2019 Club and said they were doing something noble for the men who visited and enjoyed the facilities of the Club.Mrs.W.K.Philps, Secretary-Trea- surer of the Soldiers\u2019 Club, spoke on behalf of the women who had helped in the Club and pralsed them for their unselffishness in giving of thelr time to

said he could appreciate the efforts made by the people of Huntingdon and also by the Huntingdon Branch of the Legion, which had been assoclatd with the camp almost since its inception.He felt sure that the boys had been well looked after at the Soldiers\u2019 Club and that those now to occupy the camp will be well looked after when they start to patronize Rev.Father A.Pigeon, 8t.Joseph's Roman

of rolsing funds to send parcels to the boys of the parish who are over- sens, Rev.Fr.Pigeon expressed the A few excerpts from soldiers who had Continued on page 4) Consideration The people nf Huntingdon will soon have to become accustomed to seeing a different type of soldier on the streets of the town and around Chateauguay Barracks, as during the past week a group of patients for No.4 Casualty Retraining Centre arrived for treatment and retraln- ing.Some people may have seen these men as they came in, or at the recent hockey game.Some of them were on crutches, some were In casts, they are housed in the hospital at the barracks and were taken to the hockey game in one of the army trucks.However, from now on we will see more of this type of soldier, who will be stationed here to take part in the retraining programme that will be carried on.Medical training will take place first of all and as the patient improves, military training will follow.As No.4 Casualty Retraining Centre is a medical camp rather than a mil- {tary camp, the officer who will he second in command will be a medical man.In an earlier issue of the Gleaner it was stated that Major J.H.Molson was second in command.It has been brought to our attention that Major Molson will be known as the Training Officer and will have complete charge of all military training.The new officer who is to he second in command at Chateau- guay Barracks is not known yet.Preparations are going forward for remodelling the quarters at Cha- teauguay Barracks, to meet the needs of the new centre and until such time as these changes have been completed it is hardly likely that there will be a great number of patients.When the work has been completed, it is quite probable that all facilities will be put to use and full advantage taken of the accommodation.In connection with the treatment of certain types of patients who will come to the centre, the huts built originally to house members of the C.W.A.C., on the West side of Fair- view Road, will be used.It will therefore be necessary for soldiers taking treatment at these huts to cross the road at the camp and come down the road for à short distance.Many of these men will be on New Type Personnel Arriving At Chateauguay Barracks Matter of Closing Fairview Road to Motor Traffic to Safeguard Injured Men Under nat have full control of thelr limbs due to injuries they have received.In consequence, the authorities of the Barracks have approached the Town of Huntingdon with a view to having this road closed to motor traffle.Pedestrians and horse drawn vehicles would be allowed to use the road, it would only be closed to motor vehicles.The reason why motor vehicles would be barred is on acount of the speed of these vehicles and the fact that a number of the disabled soldiers may be walking along the road at the same time and it would he difficult for them to move out of the way very fast.A driver of an automobile, not being aware of this fact, may consider the mer.capable of getting out of the way and perhaps drive right up to them before realizing the state of affairs.Such action might cause the men to slip\u2019 and fall, thus undoing all that had been done for them, besides making them nervous.Pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles would not have this affect and therefore, would not need to be barred.It 18 the intention at a later date to bulld a sidewalk from the camp to the new huts, when it would only be necessary to make a crossing directly opposite the huts.The men receiving treatment at these huts will be going to

be used in this manner.With the erection of a sidewalk much of the danger would be eliminated.The whole matter has to be decided by the Councils involved and so far the actual decision to close the road has not been reached.When such decision is reached it is presumed that notice will be given that the road will be closed until further notice to all motor driven vehicles.If the road is closed for this purpose, it is felt that not much inconvenience will ensue, as the majority of the traffic at the present time use the bridges for making connections with the other highway, as business has

anniversary celebration it has still further cause for feeling proud.Capt.Southworth of M.D.4 War Services told his audience that it was the wish of his organization to have clubs such as the one in Huntingdon at all places throughout the military district.Unfortunately.he said.this had not been possible as very few had been started, but Huntingdon had the very best he had seen and spoke highly of the people in providing such a fine institution.To further prove the fact that Huntingdon is proud of the Soldiers\u2019 Club, there was ua larger gathering present on Thursday.at the second annual celebration of the founding of the club.than had been present at the previous one.This would seem to show an increasing interest rather than a decrease.which is very encouraging to the committee which has had charge of the affairs of the club.The annual meeting of the club is to be held theo early part of this week, when the financial statement will be presented and it will be known just how the affairs have been managed to this time.Due to the Chateauguay Barracks being changed over from a basic training centre to a casualty retraining centre, there have been few soldiers there for the past few months.This has cut down the attendance at the Soldiers\u2019 Club considerably and also depleted the cash surplus.In consequence it is most probable that a call for aid will have to be launched in order to carry on and keep the club going for a greater need that we have been told.will come.We feel sure that should this come.the people of Huntingdon will back the appeal in the way they have always been accumstomed.and there will be no shortage of funds to carry on.The club has provided a worthwhile and much appreciated service to the many thousands of soldiers who have passed through Huntingdon on their journey to ithe various war fronts.Now we are to witness a different type of soldier.one who has perhaps seen the war fronts and is recuperating from effects of wounds and injuries sustained on active duty.One who is to be made ready to return to his unit and carry on the fight.It will be readily seen that the Soldiers\u2019 Club will have a greater work to do in the hereinafter than it has had to do before.The comforts provided and the little touches of home life will be even more appreciated than they were before.It will be the job of the Soldiers\u2019 Club to help these men over their sickness and provide a cheery atmosphere that will help them to forget the things they have gone through so that they may more quickly regain their health.It is quite probabl~ that the Soldiers\u2019 Club will be with us long after the war, it will thus have to see many more anniversaries and it will be the duty of the people of Huntingdon to see that this worthwhile institution is kept functioning for as long as is necessary.In this one institution, Huntingdon has earned a reputation that will be known far and wide and will become even more widely known as the time goes on.Huntingdon will remain in the memories of the men who have patronized the Soldiers\u2019 Club for many years to come and the memories will be pleasant ones both of the club and the people.Red Cross Annual Drive N Monday, February 28th, the annual drive in behalf of the Canadian Red Cross Soclety will get underway.In this drive the Various committees in the Beauharnois district will start their campaign for the collection of the funds so badly needed to carry on this worthwhile work.This district has always supported these drives in a commendable manner and it is hoped that this will be the case in the present campaign.In Huntingdon, since the last drive, we have seen the workings of the Red Cross Donor Clinic and realized more and more what a vital part this is playing in helping to save the lives of our wounded men.This, however, is only a small part of the work the Red Cross is doing in this war.The letters and remarks of prisoners of war on the value of the parcels sent them by the Red Cross is another indication of the need for the continuance of this service.To many prisoners of war these parcels are the bright spot in their lives at the prison camps.The International Red Cross Society is a valuable aid in locating relatives and friends in the occupied countries and ascertaining if they are safe.The society also keep relatives posted as to soldiers who are prisoners of war in the enemy camps, and works with the belligerents in matters of repatriation.It also superintends the shipment of supplies to countries needing such help and through this means the people of Greece, in particular, have been helped greatly.The Red Cross must remain strictly nonpolitical and must be maintained from entirely voluntary contributions with no help from governmental sources.Any political set-up would have serious repercussions in the negotiations which the Red Cross has with the various countries in its dealings.Thus it remains non-partisan in all senses of the word.In this way it is free to deal with all countries through the branches of the Bociety maintained in the different countries.,In times of war all business in connection with the international character of relations is dealt with through the Red Cross as the only recognized authority to do so.It is also the duty of the Red Cross and its privilege to inspect prison camps to make sure that the prisoners are being treated properly and being looked after according to international law regarding them.As far as can be learned, Japan is the only country in this war which has denied tha privilege to the Red Cross of sending supplies and visiting their camps or making enquiries about prisoners of war.\u2018This right is Tecognized by all warring nations and the Red Cross fasignia is respected wherever seen.The foregoing is only a very small outline of the work the Red Cross is doing with regard to the war.In peacetime and in war, the Red Cros is à À disasters or anything untoward happens, food, clothing, medical supplies, nurses and helpers.Many an outpost hospital is kept running by the Red Cross and helps in ministering to the health of the people in these lonely places.For all these things money is needed and needed badly.Will you help by giving generously when the canvasser calls on you within the next few days?You will never regret it and you will have a feeling of having done as much as you can to help keep these supplies going to the relief of human suffering.Something Needing to be Watched HERE arrived at our desk the past week, the first edition of \u201cle Bloc\u201d official publication of the political party known as \u201cBloc Populaire\u201d.Copies of this publication were distributed following the recent convention of this party at the Windsor Hotel, in Montreal.It is printed in the French language.From reports of the recent convention and the matters discussed by the delegates of the Bloc Populaire movement, it would seem to be one that vill bear much watching.Maxime Raymond is the Dominion Leader of the group, while Andre Laurendeau is the Quebec Provincial Leader.One plank in :he \u201cBloc\u201d platform is anti-Imperialism, this is construed as not being anti-British, but as against Imperialistic ties.That is, that Canada should direct its own destinies., \u201cS far as We are aware, Canada does direct its own destinies right at the moment.It is certain that no other country tells us what we should, or should not do.But of course this plank is directed more particularly against the war effort and Canada's entry into the war on the side of Great Britain.When ali things are considered, what other alternative had we?Even the United States which managed to keep out of the war for two vears.was eventually brought into it.Australia and New Zealand could both have kept out of the war for a period of time if they had not decided to line up with Great Britain; but as later events proved they would not have remained out very Jong.Naturally, when several countries are involved side by side in a war, there must be collaboration, policies must have a common denomination in order to conform with the general strategy that may be involved.Thus it may seem that dictation comes from Great Britain as to what shall be done.It was Canada who decided to enter the war.Great Britain did not demand that she enter, nor did she demand that any of the other countries of the Commonwealth enter the war.Each country made its own freewill declaration.It has been said that Great Britain demanded the States enter the war.But could such a thing be possible?Decidedly no.The United States was friendly to the British cause in the war, but remained a non-belligerent until she was stabbed in the back by Japan.Had Australia remained out of the war, the fate of that country may have been different to what it is today.So it would have been with Canada if she had remained out of the war.It was fortunate that there were some imperialistic ties, as we had the power of Great Britain to keep the war from our own shores.But these ties were nat of a nature that compelled this country to do the bidding of Great Britain.This is what the Bloc Populaire would presume to suggest in its attitude.It would presume that Canada has to do what the Government in London demands.Such is not the case.It would appear therefore, that the \u201cBloc\u201d is making an issue of what is not an issue at all.In reporting the meeting.the daily newspapers said that toasts to the Pope, Canada and Quebec were called for and given, but the King was omitted.It is the general custom in this country and any British country to offer a toast to the King, when people are gathered at banquets or similar affairs; and it is quite customary to sing the Anthem \u201cGod Save The King\u201d in closing meetings, concerts, etc.While the omission does not necessarily mean that any slur has been cast upon the King or the British Empire, it may be construed as an unpatriotic gesture on those who take part in gatherings and omit this part of the grogramme.But the question arises in our mind, does the Bloc Populaire think that these gestures on the part of the people of Canada and Quebec, mean that they are done because the people feel they are forced to do so because of Imperialistic ties?If so, they are wrong.The tie between this country and the mother country is as the word mother suggests, that it is love of Great Britain and all it means to the people.Or to put it another way, it is a feeling of patriotism for the Empire and for the King and Queen who are the figureheads of it.Such ties are felt by all nationals, no matter from what country they hail, but it does not mean that such country dictates the orders of the country in which its nationals may reside.The British Commonwealth of Nations is merely a family of nations recognizing Great Britain as the Mother Country.In ordinary family life it is often necessary for a son or a daughter to seek the advice of their parent, but this does not interfere with that son or daughter leading their own lives.The same example could be applied to Canada and Great Britain.Such ties are known as family ties and would anyone deny these to any family.Another example could be given in the saying \u201cEach for one and all for each\u201d or \u201cUnited we stand, divided we fall\u201d.The \u201cBloc\u201d wishes for autonomy for Quebec.It would be hard to visualize the situation of Quebec standing on its own.If the people cry of taxation now what would it be under such conditions?It would become necessary to have customs officials and immigration officers and to have a passport to go from Quebec into Ontario or any other part of the rest of Canada as we know it now.Would anyone in their right senses vote a government of this kind into power?Goods now available to the people of Quebec would have to come in from the rest of Canada under tariff regulations and perhaps subject to duty and so forth.In other words Quebec would become an isolated region within the Dominion.Busiress which is flourishing today in the Province of Quebec would suffer a severe blow through the inability to trade with the rest of Oanada without restrictions as it does now.Ontario competition would be at an advantage under such a set-up as it would be able to offer its goods at a lower price on account of there being no duties, as would have to be the case in Quebec.Even the C.C.P.does not want to break up the country in this way, although it does seek to nationalize industries and so forth and is not favorable to Canada's entry into the war.It does, however claim allegiance to the King and the British Empire, which apparently \u201cBloc Populaire\u201d does not.The question of recognition for \u201cBloc Populaire\u201d came up in the Federal House the past week, and it was decided that recognition could not be granted to every organization that chose to form, and that consideration must be given to such matters before a decision could be reached.Let us watch this new party and find out what the real intentions are before we do too much agreeing with its principles.MR.M.J.COLDWELL, M.P.self 7 Don\u2019t you know we'll hang you in a democratic way?\" (Courtesy, Toronto Evening Telegram) : \u201cHow dare you defend your- Of Others.ORCHIDS TO THE

M.Joussein, a capable teacher, where I stayed until July 1828, always coming home to work on the farm in the Summer holidays.I had as classmates there, J.P.Lauthier, Member of the House of Commons: Alex Roy of the Cedars, so well and favourably known; L.P.Coutlee, at present a merchant at St.Louis de Gonzague, and others.In September 1828, I was employed as copyist with M.Ovide LeBlanc, | Notary at Beauharnois, and took some lessons in Latin from Rev.Fr.Labelle.In July.1832, I was apprenticed to M.LeBlanc for six years as a notary's clerk, and during this time he gave me my board, though not obliged to do so.In October 1838.I presented myself before the National Board of Examiners in Montreal.My examination was far from brilliant, but I succeeded in passing, and the Chief Justice, who was present was heard to remark that I could have done better, had it not been for my nervousness, and that I would yet make my mark in the world.A short time afterwards I was asked to arbitrate between two parties who were at law.I did so, but one of the parties did not wish to abide by my decision, and again went to law.On the case coming up before Judge Rolland, (who was one of my examiners and to whom the Chief Justice had addressed the above mentioned remarks about me) he sustained my decision, at the same time giving me great praise for the justice exhibited in it, and also for the precision of the language in which it was set forth.(To be continued) Lady Baden-Powell, widow of the founder of the Boy Scouts, has given Pax Hill, the old Chief\u2019s home to the Scouts and Girl Guides of

keenest interest has been aroused by the announcemerit of the new labour relations code for this country.It must be remembered that this code which will be administered by the Wartime Labour Relations Board has nothing to do with the settling of wage disputes.This comes under the National War Labour Board.\u2018The labour relations code seeks to remove unfair business practices and provides for compulsory collective bargaining and for the compulsory use of machinery set up for the settling of disputes.Its object is to keep war industries working at full capacity without interruption and at the same time to give labour its full rights.The code applies to all war industries and also to other industries which come under Dominion jurisdiction such as railways, telegraphs, steamship lines, etc.Where provinces want to have industries under their jurisdiction come under the code, this can be done through agreement.Provisions of Code Some of the main features of the code are that (1) employers must recognize compulsory bargaining and in case of disputes must sit down and try to work out an agreement with the representatives of the bargaining agency which has been TO KEEP YOUR INSURANCE employees; (2) in case no is reached a report is made et Minister of Labour who will appoint a conciliation officer or board (3) strikes are forbidden while this entire process of

the concilation board showing which side to the dispute is unreasonable in its attitude; (5) collective agreements which must run for at least a year and which will be actually in operation for at least 14 months, must be kept by both sides; (6) no strikes or lockouts will be permitted during the term of an agreement; (7) there (Continued on page 7) Leduc & Prieur LTEE DEPARTMENTAL STORE

1944 THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER Cereals Form Mainstay Of Most Breakfasts Year in, year out, cereals form the mainstay of most Canadian breakfasts.Winter weather calls for hot cereals but the variety of uncooked cereals available insures against monotony.Cereals should be cooked long enough to cook the starch thoroughly and develop good flavour.The whole grain cereals, unlegs pre-cook- ed in manufacturing require longer cooking than those which are refined or finely milled.According to the home economists of the Consumer Section of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, well cooked cereal has the following characteristics; a nutty flavour and a smooth texture that is neither sticky or gummy.Being sure that the water is boiling vigorously and doesn't go off the boil while the cereal is being added is the antidote tc stickiness.Cereals may be cooked the night before if this is more convenient.If this is done, cover the cereal with a thin layer of cold water to prevent a skin from forming, cover the saucepan closely and reheat without stirring.Measurements should be carefully made; the cereal sprinkled into rapidly boiling salted water while constantly stirring.A light greasing of the inner rim of the saucepan will prevent boiling over at this stage.Cook over direct heat according to the timetable, then continue cooking over boiling water for the required length of time.PROM PORRIDGE POT TO COOKIE JAR Newly tested in Canada\u2019s Kitchen in the Consumer Section of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, these cookies get their distinctive flavour from

but the chosen few from this generation, whose names are in the lists of the lost, are secure in their fame and in their power .A thousand years from now Canadian youths will read the story of their deeds with hearts uplifted and with kindling eyes.Bafe ir.such an immortality, what matters it that they sleep far from Canada upon the battlefields of France?\u201d He was also the author of \u201cLaur- fer: A Study in Canadian Politics,\u201d in which he expressed his great admiration for the career and qualities of the idol of the French-Canadian population.A friend said of Dafoe's newspaper work, \u201cWhat marked him off from all but a small handful of his fellow craftsmen on this continent was the amount of hard work, reading, and study that preceded the actual writing of his editorials.His style was vigorous, clear, and individual.He had a gift of phrase, a surdonic, sarcastic humor, when it pleased him to use it, and great powers of diatribe and invective .He documented his case heavily, backing up his arguments with unanswerable masses of facts and figures and historical analogues and parallels.His tremendous and endless reading and his capacious memory made him a dangerous opponent\u201d.It was also said that when a general election campaign opened the Free Press became an armory of weapons.entertain a warm Borden, and a deep admiration for Meighen, holding the view that no abler brain in Melghen\u2019s generation had devoted itself to Canadian publie life.But he regarded Bennett as a dangerous politician, and while admitting his ability, felt a deep aversion for his personality and outlook.When Dr.Dafoe died, a colleague snid: \u201cIt is doubtful if any person in this country was as well equipped to give counsel and advice in the peculiarly trying circumstances of the present.\u201d Yet from the chorus of his praises we return to the thought that, without either aristocratic or Bohemian tendencies, he was a plain man devoted to his wife and family, and endeared to friends by his sympathy and understanding.To the young men employed in the Free Press office his advice was, \u201cNever wound, never hit below the belt, and always remember the good things about a fellow.other folks will remember the other things only too well.\u201d As to personal appearance, a friend describes Dr.Dafoe as having a huge, burly figure, shaggy head and eyebrows, twinkling, shrewd eyes, and a gay, rumbling laugh.Conservation Clips \u2026 Oven Dinner Save on fuel by cooking your whole dinner In the oven at the same time.Meat loaf, baked potatoes, beets en casserole, apple crisp .there it is.Try any combination but make sure that all the pans you need will fit into the oven at the same time with room to spare so the hot air can circulate.Eleven in a Dozen?Ever think how much egg white you throw away?About one egg in every dozen goes into the garbage tin along with the shells, In many households.If you use a dozen eggs every week that amounts to over a dollar every year.Next time you break an egg, scrape out the inside carefully with a spoon .gather up every drop .it's more egg than peuple in Greece have scen for a long time.is a CUP SPECIAL TODAY AT He was broad-minded enough to Mr.Harry Monneypenny Jr., was called to Montreal for the day on | Monday.to report at Navy Head- .quarters, Mrs.Stewart Moneypenny and daughter Lols, spent a few days the | past week with her parents, Mr.and Mrs, N.M.Brooks, : Miss Winona Brooks spent the\u2019 week-end at her home here, | Mrs.John Angell, of Montreal spent a few days with her mother, Mrs.Wm.Parham, the past week.Miss Elsie Johnson returned home Friday, from Montreal, for a week's vacation.Sorry to report that Mrs.Bryce Bruce.who has been sick for the past few weeks with Pleurisy is Still confined to her bed, under the doctor's care.Her many friends wish her a speedy recovery.Mr.Ben Johnson and daughter Elsie, were Sunday guests at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Herbert Gil- mour, Russelltown Flats.Mr.and Mrs.Thomas Brooks and daughter Joan of Montreal, were Sunday guests at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Norman Brooks, Herdman Mrs.Emma Gamble, Messrs Ronald and Orville Gamble, Mr.and Mrs.Lyell Graham motored to Montreal on Sunday.and visited with Mrs.J.O.Gamble at the General Hospital.by staying at Toronto and the LORD ne higher than 50 per person POR MAP or THE NEED AS VICTORY NEARS $10,000,000 needed NOW!

Huntingdon will support the camp all they can.Col.Smith may find the Hunting- donians a little distant at first, but wait and see what they will do.Tell the people what you want done and it will be done.At this point in the programme, Mrs.Wood sang \u201cThe.White Cliffs of Dover\u201d, with Mrs.N.W.Sparrow as the accompanist.It was very much appreciated and fitted the occasion admirably.Captain Southward of M.D.4 War .Services, told the gathering that Huntingdon had shown the lead in providing a club such as the one they were celebrating the anniversary of.No other place had such a club, It was naturally the aim of his department-to have such clubs at al! points throughout the military district where camps were situated.In some places clubs had been started, but there were none to equal Hunt- ingdon Soldiers\u2019 Club.He noticed that it had been considerably enlarged since he was here before and also noticed that it was possible to perhaps enlarge it still further if necessary, and he hoped it would be.Major J.H.Molson.Training Officer at Chateauguay Barracks, had the pleasure of introducing Lt.-Col.F.H.Smith, O.C.of Chateauguay Barracks, to the people present.This duty Major Molson performed in his usual quiet and capable way.He said that Col.Smith hailed from Winnipeg, had been in England through the blitzes and served at several points in Canada before taking command at Chateauguay Barracks.Tne speaker said that all at the Barracks were anxious to know what the new C.O.would be like and likened his coming to the opening of Christmas parcel sent by important relatives at Christmas time.Everyone is anxious to see inside the parcel and know what it is all about.However, when Col.Smith arrived, they all found that he opened up to their entire satisfaction.He thanked the ladies of the Soldiers\u2019 Club on behalf of old \u201c41\u201d and expressed the hope that its services would continue for the duration of No.4 Casualty Retraining Centre.Lt.-Col.Francis Hartley Stith in opening his remarks said he had prepared a speech all feady for the occasion, but he found now that this speech would not do as the people wanted to know something about the new centre.He said that Fr.Pigeon was always wanting to know what he (Col.Smith) wanted the people of Huntingdon to do for the new centre: frankly, he could not tell them.When occasion demanded hc would make known his wants, but the people could depend on the fact that they would not be imposed up- oni in anyway.The main idea of the Casualty Retraining Centre was to shorten the time between convalescence and normal health.The retraining would be military training to carry on from where the men left cff.or to increase a man's knowledge of what was going on.At the British non-commissioned officers at the\u2019 centre showing the forms of specialized training that would go into effect.Patients had already started to come in and the proposed retraining would help mental attitudes and broaden outlook.In the proposed retraining methods were included such things as map reading, literature and lectures on current events.Through these it was hoped to improve the education of some of the patients, while for others it would be a matte?of re- rk they had already done.Mao n Col.Smith described other work in connection with the new centre, which does not need repeating as it has already been published in the Gleaner.In speaking of the Soldiers\u2019 Club, Col.Smith said it could be of the greatest help in the world, and he was sure that the boys from the centre would find their way to the club rooms in short order.He asked that the people just greet them and accept them.He realized that the Soldiers\u2019 Club desired to help and serve and cited instances that he had known while in England of help that had been given by clubs there.He said that he was of the opinion that the club would be used more extensively in the future than it had been in the past.The speaker sald he had listened to Gen.Montgomery and likened him to a piece of dynamite wrapped up in a small package.He thanked the people most sincerely Tor the honour of being present and speaking to them and hoped that the Soldiers\u2019 Club would be continued for some time to come.This part of the celebration was brought to a close by the singing of \u201cGod Save the King\u201d, after which tea and sandwiches were served to all, by the ladies of the club.The club rooms were very nicely Wednesday, February 23rd, 1944 § Mobile Blood Clinic Visits Valleyfield The Mobile Blood Clinic of- the Canadian Red Cross Society attended at the Knights of Columbus Hall for the third time on Thursday last, the 17th, when some 126 persons gave donations.Mrs.K.E.Hubley was again in charge of the unit, which came out from Montreal.Dr.O.E.Caza had charge of the medical arrangements and the other services were provided by the ladies of Valleyfield.The total number of donations at the clinic was 126 which is a reduction from the 154 who attended the second clinic and from the 182 who attended the clinic on its first visit in October last.The wintry weather has, no doubt, been chiefly responsible for the decline in numbers and it is hoped that the warmer weather of April, when the clinic will be here again, will persuade other volunteers to come forward and offer themselves in this most, worthy cause, .- The need for plasma is vital and urgent.The amount to be provided during 1944 is up 100% over the quota for 1943, sp that increasing iumbers of volunteers are needed.Elgin A number of young people from Athelstan and Elgin enjoyed a very pleasant social evening at the home of Mr.and Mrs.W.F.Patterson, on Friday.Dancing was enjoyed to music furnished by Clifford and Clarence French.While engaged in sawing wood at Allan Mack's, Stanley Clauesson had the misfortune to cut his right leg badly with an axe.He took a swing with the axe at a piece of wood to split it and the axe

listened to a splendid temperance sermon, delivered by Rev.C.L.Taylor.He took his text from II Cor.1st Chapter, 14th verse, saying the life and work of the lste Frances Willard had been an inspiration for good in the lives of us all, that the members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union had caught some of her spirit, and were carrying on the work she had begun years ago in an effort to abolish the liquor traffic.He also drew attention to the fact that in Russia if a woman offered a soldier strong drink she was liable to a fine, and if she gave a soldier or officer of high rank liquor she would be put in prison, for if their army and airforce officials were under the influence of intoxicating beverages they would be unfit to defend their country against the enemy.Thus the gallant efforts of the late Frances Willard in upholding temperance during her lifetime, her history being known the world over, shows her example thus far has brought success to the Russian people.Mr.and

the next three years.Up to now, bear hunting has been prohibited between July 1 and Aug.20 each year, this being the closed season for hunting the animals.They have, however, increased to such an extent that they constitute a menace, not only to some species of forest life, but also to domestic animals and Hvestock on farms.This is the reason the Department of Fish and Game has decided to.abolish the closed season each yeur, during the next three years.Quebecers may benefit through this change, too, for now the Department of Agriculture has announced that a bounty of $5.will be paid to all residents of the Province of Quebec who kill a bear, and supply proof of the killing to the Department.Beauharnois Mutual Fire Insurance Co.Has Successful Year The Mutual Fire Insurance Company of the District of Beauharnois has just reported a very successful year.Sound business policies and prudent management over a period of years have placed this Company in a strong financial position.The past year's business further improved the standing of the Company by adding $3,600.00 to the readily available Assets.Losses amounting to $6,070.46 were adjusted and paid during the year.The general satisfaction given the policy holders is evidenced by steadily increasing business.The ready Assets of this Company at the close of the year include Province of Quebec Bonds $5,000.Dominion of Canada Bonds $9,500., and Cash in the Bank $3,578.25.Of this amount an additional $3,000.has been invested in Dominion of Canada Bonds, protection to policy holders against loss is further strengthened by the unassessed balance of Deposit Notes amounting to $101,402.65.It is with real satisfaction to note the undoubted nobility of this Company after 92 years of service to this community.AT THE Movies \u201cHERS TO HOLD\u201d Joseph Cotton, as Bill, just back from the Flying Tigers, shows he can handle a romantic lead as well as he does Hitchcock or Orson Welles drama.He

WHY NOT WE?\u201d Comrade G.C.Stark, Past President of No.81, is now in the Montreal General Hospital, Ward J, Room 5.We suggest that everybody look after their own fires until the Fire Chief returns.Comrade W.G.Hood has returned home from hospital.His health is slowly improving.A letter has been received from Pte.George Hood from overseas thanking the Legion for their attention to his father.Pte.Hood desires to be remembered to the members of the Curling Rink and to Mr.George Munro.Comrade C.M.Oney reports that he has received a card from Wallace Townsdhd, who is a prisoner of war in Germany, in acknowledgment of a parcel of books and cigarettes.The Canadian Prisoners of War Relatives Association, Roofn 156-A Sun Life Building, Montreal, will be pleased to hear from anyone who wishes to help forward their work.The members of the Legion wish to acknowledge the Kindness of Mr.D.L.Kelly who furnished transportation to Mr.Geo.Hood from the Montreal Victoria Hospital.This sort of thing shows true sympathy and wc appreciate Mr.Kelly's thoughtfulness in this respect.There are still some few who remember that Red Poppies did grow in Flanders Fields.Magazines and books left at the Post Office do not seem to pile un very fast.Reports at the week-end would show that the general public do not yet appreciate that our fighting forces require reading matter.This is a dire necessity.and decent reading matter will not only relieve the terrible tension our lads are under for your benefit, but possibly be the means of preserving sanity.by taking the mind off the sight and sound of battle.Fortunately, however.our new Comrade, Paul Patterson, with a band of Academy Cadets saved the situation by collecting quite an appreciable pile of magazines.Surely it's not too much to ask people to take used magazines down to the Post Office.You have had pleasure in reading them, give the lads over there that pleasure also.Might also add that reading matter in the French language will be appreciated.The card party sponsored by the Legion on Monday evening, at the Soldiers Club, and in aid of the Soldiers\u2019 Club, was extremely well attended, a nice cheque will be forwarded to the Committee of the Soldiers\u2019 Club in consequence.In this connection the Legion are very much iridebted to Mrs.Laberge of the Noella Ladies\u2019 Hairdressing Saloon, Henderson Street.Huntingdon, for her thoughtfulness in providing the two handsome first prizes for the 500¢ ladies\u2019 and gents\u2019.Thank you very much Mrs.Laberge!

fourteen-day leave with her parents, Mr.Mrs.Adam McNeil.Mrs.A.A.McNeil and ries with it an international flavour has recently come to hand concerning Capt.Gibson Coyle, of the US.Army Air Force, who was born at Dundee Lines, the son of Mr.H.PF.Coyle and his wife the former Agnes Faillon.His father was connected with railroading in days gone by, and his Uncle Mr.Chas, Faillon still operates the general store on the International boundry line at Dundee Lines.His boyhood was spent at the lines and from there he graduated from Fort Covington High and later from Clarkson Technical School.Capt.Coyle enlisted in the US.AAP.before Pearl Harbor and today, as a result of his bravery and daring during 19 months service in the Troop Carrier Command\", he has won the Air Medal topped by no less than three Oak leaf clusters and followed by a string of multicolored service ribbons.He is the veteran of three major conflicts of the War in the West, having taken part in the invasion of North Africa, Sicily and Italy.In the invasion of North Africa, Capt.Coyle piloted a Troop Carrier Command Plane picturesquely named \u201cSad Sack T.\", on the longest paratrooper flight on record from England to Africa, a distance of 1500 miles.In the course of his duties in evacuating the wounded from the combat zones, the Captain said, his ship often carried wounded German prisoners along with the casualties of the Allied forces.In talks with German prisoners on board the hospital ship, he had found that the Younger Nazi soldiers trained from the cradle so to speak in Hitler's creed, stubbornly cling to the belief that Germany will be victorious in the conflict.In contrast he cited cases of more mature prisoners who thinking independently seem to be reconciled to the fact that \u201cThe Fatherland\" will suffer defeat.In answer to the query of a re- porter, \u201cAre you ever afraid\u201d.Capt.Coyle replied, \u201cAlways, when on the way to the target\u201d.He added that he believed any pilot would agree with him in his statement but implied that in the face of combat .most men are strengthened by a firm faith and trust in God.The reaction of crew members is such, sald he, that when setting out on a mission tension Is necessarily present and usually high, everyone keeping silence until near the target area.In his nineteen months overseas Capt.Coyle has flown two planes, the \"Sad Sack T\" and \"Sad Sack 2\u201d and never once suffered damage to either planes or occupants through enemy action.This good fortune he attributes laughingly to the luck of the Irish.On his homeward journey from overseas, he said, he experienced the greatest thrill of his life as his ship steamed into New York Harbor and \u201cThe lady with the torch\u201d hove into view and

Order 1943 (P.C.9384), is directed to the provisions of the Order requiring them to establish for each of their occupational classifications, not above the rank of foreman, a single wage rate or range of wage rates as prescribed by the rules set out in Schedule \u201cA\u201d of the Order by adding to the previous authorized single wage rate or previous authorized range of wage rates the amount of previous authorized cost of living bonus, and that such established single wage rate or range of wage rates shall he effective for the first payroll period beginning on or after February 15, 1944._ Employers who may not be paying previous authorized cost of living bonus as required by General Orders of the National War Labour Board, issued under dates of August 4, 1942, and November 3, 1943, pursuant to the provisions of the Wartime Wages Control Order, P.C.5963, are required to include such amounts of cost of living bonus in the establishment of wage rates of their employees under P.C.9384 effective for the first payroll period beginning on or after February 15, 1944, as stated.C.P.McTAGUE, Chairman NATIONAL WAR LABOUR BOARD Ottawa, Canada D-3-44.W and Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary, when Comrade Dr.Clouston gave so lucid an exposition of the benefits of the | proposed new legislation for Nation-! al Sickness Insurance, it is noted that so far as the proposals go there is no mention of any benefit in the shape of cash weekly compensation in lieu of wages during sickness.There are scores of Sickness Insurance schemes now being administered in Canada, and almost without exception weekly cash payments are provided.It is surely admitted that during sickness, cash is required to buy food, clothing.and other necessaries of life.The premium to be charged is $25.00 per annum from the Insured, more dollars from both Employer, Provincial.and Federal Governments, so that there is likely to be a cost of some $50.00 per an- num for the benefits to be provided.It would be interesting to know the reaction of present participants in Group Life and Sickness schemes now in operation in at least one mill in Huntingdon.The benefits and cost to those insured are: 1.At death $1,000.00.Weekly benefit during sickness for 13 weeks $7.50.All hospital charges, surgical, etc.fees paid in addition.2.At death $2,000.00.Weekly bne- fit during sickness for 13 weeks $12.50.All hospital charges, surgical, etc.fees paid in addition.The cost to the Insured under the $1,000.00 scheme is $10.40 per annum.and for the $2,000.00 scheme $15.80 per annum.Of course the firm pays the biggest part of the premium; but one would think that the portion paid by the employers under this group scheme would no more than equal that proposed to be taken from the employers and the Provincial and Federal Governments under the Proposed National scheme.Surely the Government can give us a better idea of the carrying out of the last of the \u201cFour Freedoms,\u201d that of Freedom from

\u201cMake This Your Canada.\u201d The Editor of The Canadian Statesman bought a copy from a OCF representative.The authors are Professor Frank Scott, chairman of the national CCF party, and Mr.David

in the words of the late J.S.Woodsworth-\u2014words which Mr.Coldwell really ought to draw to the attention of Cardinal Villeneuve: \u201cEvery Socialist should have a reason for the faith that is in

from the earliest days of apple culture, it is the one orchard operation that is most generally misunderstood in its practical application, D.S.Blair, Horticultural Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, told the Northumber- land and Durham Apple Growers\u2019 Association in a recent address.Orchardists were not entirely to blame, he said, because it was only within the last quarter century that carefully planned experiments have been conducted to study the effect of pruning upon growth and fruiting.Even today leading authorities could not agree on some of the minor details.When pruning, the grower should have a definite plan in mind, whether the trees were young or old.The purpose of pruning the young non- bearing tree was primarily to train or shape the tree, so that the main scaffold branches would develop strong wide-angled crotches capable of bearing fruit without breakage.This training should develop a framework capable of supporting heavy crops of fruit when the tree reached bearing age.The aim in a commercial orchard was not to produce a tree pleasing to the eye but rather one that was commercially profitable within a reasonable period of time.The main objective in pruning bearing trees was to prevent the trees from becoming too dense, so that sunlight could reach all parts of the tree to assist in carbohydrate manufacture and the colouring of fruit; also to facilitate orchard operations, such as spraying, thinning, and picking.Another purpose was to remove weak growing wood throughout the tree which never produced fruit of satisfactory size and quality.With trees in full bearing, pruning assisted proper fertilizer applications and other soil management practices in maintaining a good growth condition in the trees.120,000 Cases of Syphilis In the Province In the course of four centuries, syphilis has altered slightly in its evolution.Though it still causes terrible ravages, it has not the extremely malignant character of

frequent.On the other hand, today, the heart, the blood vessels and the nervous system are more affected by it, which makes it more discreet and insidious though not less deadly.Syphilis often causes heart trouble, infirmity, blindness and insanity.It shortens the life of its victims and more than a third of these persons find themseives incapacitated at a time of life when they should be most useful and productive.It is a great economic loss to the country besides costing enormous sums for treatment, hospitalization and assistance as most of the unfortunate victiins become a burden to society sooner or later.There is such à great number of cases that it is no longer possible to cherish any illus- lons as to the extent and consequences of the venereal evil in this Province.At present we have at hand sufficient observations and statistics to conclude that there are no less than 120,000 syphilitics in the Province of Quebec.Lately syphilis has spread alarmingly and has attacked from 5 to 6 per cent of the adults in industrial centres.We may add that even a larger number of people are victims of blennorrhagia.It is evident that the most important problem today regarding contagious diseases is the control of venereal diseases and, for the maintenance of social and economic order, it must be solved without dey.Allan\u2019s Corners Private Norman R.Peddie of

Canada was restricted chiefly to its use for ensilage in areas not suited to the production of corn, and to a lesser extent in the garden, where it served to provide seeds which were eaten much as peanuts are, or as a border flower.Interest in the sunflower as a grain crop came about largely because of the shortage of edible vegetable oils in Canada soon after the outbreak of the present war, states Dr.T.M.Stevenson, Dominion Agrostologist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.The ensilage varieties which were tall growing and late maturing, were not suited as a grain crop in most areas.However, other types were available.breeders had, some years prior to the outbreak of war, recognized the possibility of using the sunflower as a grain crop, chiefly as a source of vegetable oil.They set about to develop varieties suitable for grain aecided first of all that such varieties must be semi-dwarf in habit of growth and early maturing so that they could be harvested satisfactorily by ordinary farm machinery.Furthermore, the new varieties had to meet certain standards of perfection respecting oil content and oil quality.The two outstanding varieties which resulted from that work are \u201cSunrise\u201d and \u201cMennonit\u201d.Approximately 30,000 acres of these varieties were grown for grain in the prairie provinces in 1943.It is estimated that this crop will yield 81: million pounds of seed.This crop is capable of providing 4': million pounds of high quality edible oil and more than 2,250 tons of excellent, high protein oil meal suitable for stock feed.In addition there will be an abundance | of seed available to enable us to meet the 50,000 acre objective set for 1944.The development and production of sunflowers for grain constitutes another worthwhile contribution from agriculture to the war effort.Brooklet The Gerald McCormick VS.of Ormstown, spent Sunday with his parents, Mr.and Mrs, F.McCormick, Mr.and Mrs.Lester McCartney, of

the first World War when they reached 7'4 milllons.\u201cAbout three-fourths of the losses in the present war are accounted for by German and Russian dead,\u201d say the statisticians.\u201cFor each of these countries the toll is upwards of two millions, and both have almost certainly suffered more than in the first World War.With the exception of Japan and possibly also of Rumania and Greece, the battle deaths of other countries in the present war remain well below those of the first World War.\u201d Comparing battle losses in 1943, the fourth year of the war, with those of 1918, the corresponding period of the first World War, the statisticians say that last year's battle toll of two millions was about 50 per cent higher than in 1918.\u201cThis comparison is not com-

Marketing Maple Syrup An increase of nearly one-third over the 1943 output is asked for in the production of maple syrup and maple products for the 1944 season.It is expected that this quantity (about three million gallons on a syrup basis) would find a ready market, particularly in view of the recent announcement by the Ration Administration of the Prices Board.Effective March 2, 1944, the value of \u201cD\" coupons for purchasing maple syrup will be increased so that a gallon of syrup may be obtained on surrender of eight coupons.Arrangements are also being made, says the Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada, to facilitate mail order delivery of syrup, thus further helping the sale of syrup direct from producer to consumer.February 22nd as their birthday.| Bo 2250 d ta |

subject are provided for.For the fiscal year 1944-45 the Dominion fund available for distribution among the provinces is sot to exceed $250,000.This sum will be raised to an annual $1,000,- 000 for later fiscal years.The planned Dominion assistance is designed to supplement regular industrial apprenticeship training.Mitchell, Minister of Labour, announces that g by Commenting on the Order, Honourable Humphrey Mitchell, Minister of Labour, stated: \u201cIt is important for the welfare of our industry as a whole, that a sufficient number of our young people in the post-war world should be given trade training of various sorts, so that they may be among the most highly skilled workers in the world.\u201d The Order defines an apprentice as \u201cany person at least 16 years of age who enters into a written agreement with an employer to learn a skilled trade requiring a minimum of 4,000 hours of reasonably continuous employment.\u201d Assistance from the Governments will relate

whereby there will be made certain | family allowances, rehabilitation grants to returned soldiers and a' government program to make available to certain companies financial assistance in becoming adjusted to peace time production.In addition to the foregoing the Bank of Canada annual report reveals that the Dominion government now has a total of $10,212,000,000 in bonds outstanding which will at some time have to be paid off.This figure was $2,658,000,000 at the beginning of the war and therefore cver a period of slightly more than four years it has increased $7,654,- 000,000.The foregoing totals apply to bonds payable in Canada only.The Dominion government\u2019s indebtedness in London now totals $12,000,000 and $469,000,000 in the United States.A: present the Government will have to meet interest payments on the CNR.bonds and the bonds which have been issued during the present war to an amount of $304,000,000 annually.As well as meeting the bond maturities and interest payments, the portion of the income taxes which I have already mentioned.For example this amounted to $2,079,000 during 1943 for two of Canada's largest privately owned utilities.Then one must not forget that all the Canadians who paid money into problem.There is the unemployment insurance system which will have to be looked after.Latest figures rc- leased show that the unemployment insurance fund totalled almost $171,- 000,000.This has been built up during the present war out of the earnings of all workers.If the worker because of a legitimate reason cannot find work he receives payments out of this pool until he is re-employed.Even with Canadian industry at full swing at the present moment, it was revealed that in Quebec city alone 500 people are receiving unemploy- nent cheques because of the lack of work.Canada\u2019s armed forces number fairly close to 1.000.000 men.These men will have to be re-em- ployed when they return to Canada.Should there be any extensive unemployment, the unemployment insurance fund is bound to suffer, and consequently the government will have to provide the necessary funds.With all these commitments in prospect one can hardly hope for any extensive reduction in taxes, unless the debts which have been accumulated are left unpaid for several generations to come.\u2018This fact is confirmed by several remarks made by a member of the Upper House at Ottawa, who pointed out that the cost of the social security plan would end all hope of relief from present heavy taxation.He estimated that a program providing for veterans rehabilitation, family allowances and increased old age pensions would total from $750,000,000 to $1,000,000,- 000.It would almost appear that even to meet prospective post-war bread.Province.Government at Ottawa according to mins.Such is real whole its plans, will have to pay back to various companies the refundable wheat bread.Adult daily requirements of Thiamin or Vitamin Bl is placed at a minimum of 500 International the compulsory savings pool will Units.Generous use of real whole wheat bread helps secure this essential, as it is the richest bread M oeneda also faces another big source of Bl.A single slice of it yields 30 I.U.while a slice of refined white bread yields only one- sixth the vitamin potency\u20145 I.U.Recent surveys show the average Canadian diet low in calcium content\u2014yet in respect to calcium, the use of whole wheat bread can step up the family's supply of this important mineral by 6%, which may make the difference between an adequate daily supply and a diet below par in this respect.Moreover, whole wheat bread has more nicotinic acid and iron than has white bread or enriched Don't forget what a great deal more you get for your money when you buy whole wheat bread!

OTTAWA, Feb.22\u2014For having refused to produce its books before a council of conciliation, local 102 of the United Textiles Organizers of America, is given a severe reprimand and a judgment with regards to that which it claimed.is what a report of the council revealed, given yesterday.by the Minister of Labour, in that which the union claimed the right to represent the workers of the plants of Mount Royal, Colonial and Hochelaga of the Dominion Textile Company.The signatures on the report were those of Judge Boulanger of Quebec, president of the council and M.D.A.Patterson, of Montreal, lawyer for the Company.The report states that the lawyer had ordered the books of the Union and of the Company to be checked by an independant auditor in order to verify the percentage of the workers taking part in the union.The representatives of local 102, refuse to comply with this request, stating that in showing their books it would come in contradiction to the laws of international unions.Judge Boulanger's report states that the members of the council are not directed by the policies of the workers\u2019 union but by the laws of Canada, the game of proofs and their conscience.The refusal to expose these books cannot confirm our doubts demanded by the report.The Union pretends that the showing of their books would expose the number of members taking part in their union and the amount of their funds to the company; that it what the report translates by a doubt thrown on the integrity of the council and of the audition in answer to the pretentions of local 102 saying that their declaration as to the number of their members should suffice.Judge Boulanger affirms that if such were the case the recognizance of the Union becomes an affair of exhortation and the council a simple robot.Financial Statement MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE DISTRICT OF BEAUHARNOIS Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31st, 1943, ASSETS Arrears of Cash Premiums:

Householders who heat their homes with Quebec heaters, kitchen ranges.or circulators are going to get a lot of good advice on how to burn soft coal.A leaflet prepared by the department of Munitions and Supply and containing full directions on the use of bituminous coal is being distributed by the coal dealers in Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritime Provinces.In order to eke out available supplies of hard coal, householders in these provinces have been asked to take a part of thelr winter's supply in bituminous coal, and many people are using soft coal for the first time this year.Designed to acquaint consumers with the proper soft coal firing technique, the leaflet is presented in question and answer form.It gives directions for everything from starting the fire to controlling dampers in order to obtain the best heating results from this type of coal.Householders may obtain from their dealer a copy of this leaflet, or a copy of a furnace card, or the booklet entitled \u201c33 Ways to
