Leslie Scourfield Killed In Action SUDDEN DEATH CLAIMS PERCY H. MACDONALD Regular Meeting of Missionary Circle K.D. Purchase of 4th Victory Loan Bonds as Patriotic Action Keynotes Campaign. The Vimy Day Memorial Service held in St. James’ Angican Church on Sunday morning, was an impress­ ive tribute to those who gave their lives in the service of their country in the last Great War. Rev. H. E. Merifield, rector of St. James’ Church, conducted the service which was sponsored by the Ingersoll Branch, No. 119, of the Canadian Legion. The parade which formed up at the Armouries, was headed by the Ingersoll Pipe Band, and included members of the Woodstock and Ing­ ersoll Branches of the Canadian Legion, Oxford Rifles, Ontario Vol­ unteer Constabulary, Giri Guides, Boy Scouts, Brownies and Cubs and marched from Charles street cast via Thames street to King to Ox­ ford and were joined at the church by members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Legion. Mr. E. C. Grimes was parade marshal. Following the opening hymn, the, colours were presented and al wreath was placed on the altar in memory of those who fell at Vimy. The lesson was read by Sgt. Law­ rence Owen. Special music for the occasion was beautifully given and included ah anthem 4 by the Junior Choir, a solo, “Comfort Ye My people," by Mr. Douglas Martin aqfi during the offertory, the anthem, “Daughter of Zion,” was rendered by the adult choir. The rector presented a stirr­ ing message in his sermon, “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?" At the close of the two minutes of silence the Lament was played by Pipe Major Alex. Collins. Following the service, the-parade again formed up and marched via Oxford to Ann to Thames tosCharles back to the armouries. ‘ Ottawa, April (Special)—With the objective'of the Fourth Victory Loan much higher than in any pre­ vious campaign, officials of the Na­ tional War Finance Committee have revealed that its sales organization is now geared to the peak of per­ fection. Hundreds of salesmen are ready to make the most thorough canvass of its kind ever attempted. Plans call for 100 per cent, cover­ age of all prospective Bond buyers in Canada, and the goal is not less than 3,000,000 individual subscrib­ ers. Every home in every city, town and village should be prepared to receive a visit from a Victory Loan salesman. One of the features of this sales campaign will be the effort made by salesmen to have every prospect buy two Bonds, one from ready cash available and a' second on the instalment plan out of current earn­ ings.The double purehase plan springs from the great needs for increased sales of Bonds to individuals if the minimum objective of $1,100,000,- 000 is to be topped. In the last Vic­ tory Loan campaign the general public bought approximately $350,- 000,000 worth of Bonds. This time at least $500,000,000 worth must be sold to individuals. Realizing too that there are a large number of Canadians who have never bought a single Bond since the war started, renewed em­ phasis is being placed on the job of educating these members of the community. Weekly newspapers, magazines and periodicals are carry­ ing advertisements which take read­ ers back to the beginnings of war finance. Answers are given to ques­ tions which might arise in the mind of a man who has not already bought Bonds and is not familiar with them. As one prominent executive of the National War Finance Commit­ tee explained, patriotic feeling rather than self-interest will assure the success of the Victory Loan* campaign. While the purchase of a Bond is the act of a wise man building up a reserve for his family, it also affords him an opportunity of reaping the highest rate of in­ terest compatible with the safety of his investment. The patriotic pur­ chase of Bonds at this stage of the war is absolutely necessary to has­ ten victory, to save the lives of many of our boys overseas, and to make sure that when they come to the great final struggle with the enemy on European soil they are not handicapped by the lack of a single shell or piece of equipment. Sgt. J. S. Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Taylor, Merritt street, was one of a group of overseas men who arrived back in Canada last week to take an officer’s course. Sgt. Taylor has been overseas for 2’Zt years. He was married while there but his wife did not accompany him home.

THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1943 Potato Production Plans For 1943 With a 10 Sr increase in potato production being requested this year for Ontario, potato growers have been planning ways and means whereby the goal can be attained without increasing acreage to the same extent. Potato growers in several com­ munities where soil and climatic conditions are adapted to the potato crop, have already made arrange­ ments to plant, care for and harvest their potato crops on either a com­ munity co-operative or custom basis. Thus they will be overcomipg to some extent, the shortage of labour on their farms by making greatest possible use of all available potato machinery. Below average yields of potatoes in most sections of Ontario in 1942, and heavy losses from late blight infection, have been factors largely responsible for brisk demands for seed potatoes during the past few weeks. Certified seed, which to date is exempt from price ceiling regula­ tions, has been selling at exceptional premium prices over ceiling for or­ dinary table stock. Good seed is scarce, therefore, farmers requiring seed potatoes for planting this season, would be well advised to arrange for their require­ ments at once. Indications are that potato grow­ ers will give increased attention this year to the use of good seed; proper fertilizers and soil conditions; more efficient cultural methods and the spraying or dusting their spotato crops on either community, co-oper­ ative or custom basis, particularly to control leaf > hopper damage and prevent late blight infection. 1.600 Liaison Officers In Western Ontario Over 1,600 of the 10,000 liaison officers of the Consumer Branch, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, reside in Western Ontario and take an active and prominent interest in consumer problems, states Mrs. J. D. Wetwilcr, Chairman of the Re­ gional Advisory Committee, Con­ sumer Branch. Mrs. -Detwiler points out that thisdistrict8has over 16 per cent of the entire liaison membership for all Canada. These officers are all volun­ tarily engaged in the job of educat­ ing Canadian women in price check­ ing and stabilization of the cost of living. HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA EATING RATIONALLY Present advices from Ottawa in­ dicate that meat rationing will not cover liver, heart and kidney. If a restricted use of the muscle meats leads to a greater use of organ meats a distinct nutritional advance will have been made. Everyone by now has been in­ formed that liver, calves’, beef or pork, is good food. Most people know that pork liver is even more valuable from a nutrition stand­ point than the more .. expensive calves’ liver. Very few people how­ ever know just how good it is. Three essential food elements apt to be lacking in the Canadian diet are iron. Vitamin A and riboflavin. In the light of that fact the follow­ ing table is extremely interesting. Average adults daily need—Iron, 12 mgins.; Vitamin A, 5000 units; Riboflavin, 2.2 mgms. 1. small serving of liver (3.3 oz.) provides 11.3 mgms. iron; 7050 un-| its Vitamin A; 2.07 mgms. Riboflav­ in.

Lubrication of Farm Machinery The life of bearings and other moving parts on farm machinery is determined largely by the lubrica­ tion which machinery receives. Oil and grease lubricate moving parts, reduce wear, act as flushing agents to remove grit and dust from bear­ ings, and protect exposed metal sur­ faces when the machine is idle, states W. Kalbfleisch, Assistant Ag­ ricultural Engineer, Field Husban­ dry Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. In the lubrication of machines, it is important that the proper lubri­ cant be used, and that lubricants be kept clean. Machine oils have a ‘sticky’ consistency and cling to PRODUCTION CERTIFCATE TO SCHELL COW A Certificate of Superior Pro­ duction has been won by NormanC. Schell, Woodstock, on his Hol­stein cow, Hillview’ E. H. M. Payne.Her twice-a-day milking record of720 lbs. fat from 18,105 lbs. milk,which is reported in the currentissue of the Holstein Monthly TestBulletin, stands second for fat andfourth for milk for all time in Can­ada in the junior four-year-oldclass of the 305 day division ontwice-a-day milking. She has alsobeen classified as Excellent in Se­ lective Registration. i;Two great records, both made on three-times-a-day milking, were re­ported from the herd of Elliott Bros., Woodstock. The largest of these, and incidentally the largestcompleted in the county last month, was that of Elbro Abbckerk, Daisy.She gave 807 lbs. fat from ’20,592lbs. milk in 365 days as a three- year old. Elbro Laura DeVries headed the two-year-olds with 644lbs. fat from 19.8G0 lbs. milk. Her test was actually started as'a senioryearling and has never been better­ ed in Canada by a Holstein undertwo-year-old on three-times-a-day milking. Another Elbro senior year­ling made 561 lbs. fat from 15,084 lbs. milk, also in the yearly division but on twice-a-day milking.Several first class records were completed in the herd of John It.Hargreaves, Beachville. That ofAlder Grange Alice Pontiac Texalstood second in a class of 40 four-year-olds that finished in the twice-a-day milking section of the yearly division. Hpr figures are given as658 lbs. fat from 18,762 lbs. milk Alder Grange Clara Lenox, a stable-mate, produced 515 lbs. fat from 13,897 lbs. milk in 365 days as ajunior two-year-old while Alder Grange Alcartra Mercedes made507 lbs. fat from 14,198 lbs. milk as a four-year-old in 305 days. Evergreen Pauline Posch, owned by Mrs. Mary C. Mulct, Norwich,made the very fine total of 16,903 lbs. milk containing 580 lbs. fat asa twelve-year-old to finish fourth ina class of fifty-three mature cows in the twice-a-day section of the 305day division. Close together in this same class were Alban AshdownSnow, the property of Leslie Thompson, Woodstock, with 509lbs. fat from 14,425 lbs. milk and Woodview Susie Colantha,. a mem­ber of the herd of Dickout Bros., Salford, with 506 lbs. fat from13,348 lbs. milk. In the mature class of the yearlydivision on twice-a-day milking,Hartholm Canary Snow, owned byDouglas Hart, Woodstock, was re­ported with 534 lbs. fat 16,843 lbs. milk. Also reported in this classwere a five-year-old and an eight- year-old, from the Springbank herdof T.R. Dent, Woodstock, with 520 and 490 lbs. fat, respectively. Afour-year-old from the Dent heard finished with 549 lbs fat from 15,046 lbs. milk, while another four-year-old, the property of Currie Bros., Ingersoll, made 504 lbs. fatfrom 14,665 lbs. milk. A trio of Douglas Hart’s three-year-olds pro­duced, respectively, 574 lbs. fat from 17,342 lbs. milk, 547 lbs. fatfrom 15,245 lbs. milk and 514 lbs. fat from 15,520 lbs. milk in 365 days while the two-year-old Hart­holm Alas, gave 14,327 lbs. milk containing 489 lbs. fat to take thirdplace in a class of 102 that finished in the 305 day division.Excellent records were also com­ pleted in the herds of the following breeders: S. R. West, Erie Kitchen,Arthur Lockhart, Claire Peers, Ver­non Pullen, Oxford County House of Refuge and Willis J. Burton, Woodstock; F. G. Jackson, OxfordCentre; T. B. Hill & Sons nnd Allan H.

The minister, in making an an­ nouncement for the evening meet­ ing, said: “Elder Jones will present a paper on ‘The Devil’.’’ Then he added earnestly: “Please be prompt in attendance, for Brother Jones has a carefully prepared paper, and is full of his subject." What About Your Pasture?£aaada has again entered intohuge contractu for food with theold land, which will tax our re­ sources so that we must be pre­ pared to harvest the maximum from . what we saw. iProbably one of the weakest linka ' on our farms today is our pasture programme. Too little do we realise that our live stock is maintained for nearly half the year. Pasture is our cheapest source of food, and is par­ amount in milk and meat product­ ion. New bulletins have been put out by these Ontario Department of Agriculture on pasture mixtures and management and can be secured free from your Agricultural Repre­ sentative. It is ad visa be to sow your pas­ tures on your best, rather than your poorest field. Fields in which you are troubled with your grain lodg­ ing should be the ones to grow your pastures on. Pastures respond well to applications of manure or fertilizer applied preferably in the fall or early spring. Rotation of pasture is another sound practice practised by too few farmers today. Fields can easily be divided by the use of electric fen­ ces, and the cattle will thus always have fresh pasture which is the most nutritive, besides it considerably in­ creases the carrying capacity. The addition of two to four pounds of Orchard and Brome grass to the pasture mixtures will in­ crease the grass content of mixture besides prolonging the pasture sea­ son. jAf ter the timothy matures, whicfi is early in July, there is little growth and’ these two grasses help to lengthen the season out. Annual pastures sown in the1 spring give grass around the middle of July, after the other pastures are getting short. Probably one of the most productive is Sudan grass sown alone at the rate of 30-35 pounds per acre, planted the latter port of May or early June, or sow­ ing oats 2 bus. and Sudan 25-30 lbs. For late fall and early spring, Fall Rye sown in August at the rate of 2-2 & bus. per acre provides such' pasture in the late fall and. early spring, and is ideal to follow with the hoed crop. Gruff Father (to son)—“Why don’t you get out and find a job? When I was your age I was working for $3 a week in a store, and at the end of five years I owned the store." Son—"You can’t do that nowa­ days. They have cash registers."' Good Seed Essential In War Effort As crops are’, the raw material for the manufacture of bacon, beof, poultry, and dairy products, and as increased quantities are required this year for export and home con­ sumption, it is absolutely essential that Ontario farmers ' have maxi­ mum crop yields in 1943. An important step in producing “Greater Yields per Acre’’ • is the use of good, clean, well-graded seed of a suitable variety which is ad­ apted to local soil and climatic con­ ditions. If that step has not already been taken, then there is no time like" the present to get busy in that connection. Provision for reliable seed supply should be made without delay. During the past few years, the Crops Branch of the Department of Agriculture has assisted in the es­ tablishment’of .seed cleaning plants in every county and district throughout the .Province.,There are nofr more- Ahari one 'hundred seed cleaning plhnts conveniently located and prepared to' give prompt effic­ ient service. The time and cost expended in having seed cleaned at a modern plant is almost negligible in com­ parison to the benefits which may be derived. Local agricultural . representa­ tives or seed cleaning plant oper­ ators are well acquainted with local seed conditions. They are in a posi­ tion to suggest recommended var­ ieties, and advise as to where good seed of high quality may be ob­ tained. Legal Language - * Laymen who now find it a nec­essary part of their dally routine to plough through pages of legal ver­ biage concocted for the signatures of various administrators and con­ trollers may be comforted in learn­ ing that the legal mind is not in­ variably hypnotised by words. It is told of Sir William Mulock, the re­ tired grand old man of Ontario a bench, that a few years ago he re­ ceived for comment a judgment •written by one of his colleagues, a newly-appointed justice of the Court of Appeal. The younger judge had taken a merits into so small a space. So everyone should eat it at least once a week.

Used motor oil is satisfactory for lubri-. eating Bearings on faim implements, but it must be applied at very short intervals because it docs not cling to bearings. Where oil holes are used for lub­ rication. af-small amount of machine oil applied frequently gives better lubrication and wastes less oil than does a large amount applied once or twice a day. The practice of going over the entire machine with an oil can each time the horses stop to rest will unodubtedly prolong the life of moving parts in machines. Oil holes which are exposed to rust may re­ quire cleaning with a wire each time the machine is lubricated. Where parts are lubricated by oil cups the oil channels should be checked to be sure that the grease has not caked in the oil channels. Where a pres­ sure gun is used for applying grease, the lubricant should be forced into the bearings until the old grease is forced out at. both sides ( of the bearingx. In cases where goafs or chains are exposed to dirt and sand, less wear riijy; result if these parts are run dry. Drive chains should be washed periodically in kerosene, dipped in light ojl, drained off and wiped and then replaced. Because pressure gun lubrication is more convenient to use and sup­ erior to grease cup lubrication, the K’-*-rJcant systems on many mach- havc been converted to pres­ sure gun lubrication. Pressure gun fittings as used on cars, tractors, or trucks can often be screwed directly into the bearing casting after re­ moving the oil cup. Where lubrica­ tion is by oil holes, it is necessary to drill out the oil hole and tap it to fit the thread on the pressure gun fittings. Sometimes pressure fittings are placed in the grease cop caps by drilling a hole in the cap and screw­ ing in the fitting without *cuttng a thread. Inhere instruction books for farm ' machines, tractors or cars are available, ' the directions as to the type of ojl to use and the frequency of applying oil should (be carefully followed.

It ean be easily cleaned. First, re­ move the picture from its frame and gently but thoroughly dip it up and down in lukewarm water and mild suds that are ‘isafe for any­ thing safe in water alone.” Be careful not to squeeze or twist the yarn in any way. Then rinse the picture several times in lukewarm water and lay it flat and straight between two bath towels. Roll the towels loosely and let the yarn pic­ ture stand for about half an hour. Then spread it flat on a window screen (protecting it from the wire with a thin cloth or white paper), and cover it with a dry towel. Dry it at room temperature. When dry, lay it face down on several thick­ nesses of towel, pin it straight, and press it, using a dampened press cloth.• • • Sock Darning That humble occupation of count­ less million wives—darnig hubby’s socks—assumes new importance to­ day. Feet walk more—therefore, darns should be smoother. Wool must be saved—therefore, there must be more darns and less dis­ cards. For neat, long-lasting results, try following this procedure: With right side of stocking out, insert egg under hole. Trim ragged edges of hole. Darn lengthwise threads ■first and don’t knot your wool. Leaving a short end free, take a few running stiches far enough from the hole to include all the worn part Turn, leaving a small loop at turn. On each succeeding row', increase the number of stitches so that when you come to the hole, you will be able to cover it and also strengthen worn part. Arrange stitches so that needle comes out over the edges of hole Decrease length of rows on other side of hole. Cut thread when finished and turn darn around. Weave stitches in same way across the width over and under founda­ tion stiches already made. Last of all, remember that regular dipping of socks in gentle suds that iWon’t shrink woollens will rid that! wool of soil and perspiration and save you many hours with a needle.

Pin in all darts, pleats and tucks and pin the pieces of the pattern together. To hang well, garment should be cut along the long grain according to directions on the pattern. Before cutting, fold the material and run a basting thread down the centre to indicate the straight of he goods. Leave these stitches in until the garment is finished. They will keep you from pulling fabric out of line when you make alterations in the final fitting. As fabrics and paper patterns hang differently, such min­ or alterations will be inevitable. Indicate cross grain of material by running a line of basting stitches three inches below the neck and the waist. By keeping these marks straight when you make your final adjustments, you will assure your­ self a good fit, If you are using shoulder pads, fit the fabric over the pads. Every seam, dart or tuck should be press­ ed as soon as basted and also after the final stitching. This is the trick that professionals use to get seams to lie straight, and' garments to hang jffoperly. Doris Olmstead, Bride of Calder Ferguson Rev. R. H.

The regent, Miss Mary Beck, pre­ sided for the meeting. Reports were received from the secretary, Miss Eleanore Cornish, and from the treasurer. Miss Catherine Beatty, the latter report showed that the dance sponsored recently by the chapter had proved very successful financially.

It was suggested that the members assist in the study work on Australia, by bringing in interesting items on the subject. Voting took place for the coun­ sellors for National and Provincial Chapters and it was announced that the annual meeting is to be held in Hamilton, April 20, 21 and 22.

Members will meet at the armouries on the first and third Thursday afternoons of each month for sew­ R UM O R A particularly vicious rumor concerning the forthcoming Victory Bond issue is being circulated just now. The rumor has it that the New Bonds will not be redeemable for cash before maturity. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT TRUE AND SHOULD NOT BE REPEATED FA CT . All Victory Bonds issued to date are salable at any time through any chartered bank or bond house in Canada. This will also be true of the New Issue. While it is not desirable that bonds be sold before maturity, the fact re­ mains that if your circumstances demand it they are im­ mediately salable. All you have to do is take them to your bank and get the cash for them in a matter of minutes. i It is your duty to Canada's gallant lads overseas to stop this and any other rumors you might hear.

The following accounts werepassed and ordered paid: GREEN WOOD POOR FUEL Above are pictured the inconveniences which may result from vse of green wood for heating and cooking purposes. Wood which has not been allowed to dry sufficiently causes an accumulation of tar soot in the chimneys, a serious fire hazard. As a stove fuel, it produces an uneven heat, which is unsuited for cooking. Owing to the severe wood fuel shortage, many Canadian housewives have been obliged to use this winter’s .wood. If steps are not taken locally to jemedy the situation, thousands will find themselves obliged next winter to use green wood in their stoves and furnaces. This will cause countless cooking disappointments, and a waste of foodstuffs, not to mention the conflagrations which may result from chimney fires.

The demand of the armed forces in -Canada for foodstuffs is also great. The purchasing branch of the Munitions and Supply Depart­ ment, in 1942, bought 801000 tons of vegetables, 50,000 tons of meat, 33,000 tons of bread, '7,000 tons of butter, 8,500,000 dozen eggs, 2,000, tons of coffee and tea, and 9,000 tons of evaporated milk. *How many loaves of bread are there in a cargo ship? How much beef in a bomber? And how much milk in a gun? The answer to these paradoxical questions is: “Plenty.” More is needed than machines and materials to make the tools of war. More important still is the sweat and toil of the men who produce them. And of vital importance too ih the food that builds the energy they require to turn out the ship, the plane, the tank and the gun. The farmers of Canada, therefore are taking a direct part in the Dominion’s momentous war produc­ tion drive. In addition to producing foodstuffs for embattled Britain and Russia, they have more than 1,000,- 000 hungry war workers, and half a million men in uniform to feed— a tremendous responsibility. The Department of Munitions and Supply which buys food for the troops at the rate of $60,000,000 a year, also caters to the appetite of some 250,000 war workers. The majority of large government-own­ ed or government-operated war plants which have mushroomed throughout the land since the out­ break of war maintain cafeterias for their employees. At the huge Dominion Arsenal, more than 5,000 workers are provided with a whole­ some mid-shift meal for which they pay only 15c. More than 100 other big plants serve hot meals at prices ranging from 15 to 30 cents. Typi­ village and Mrs. Howe is a sister of Mr. Harvey Goble.

Beachville Baptist Church Destroyed By Fire Fire completely destroyed the Baptist Church at Beachville, on Sunday morning despite the gallant effort of many volunteer firefighters. The fire was discovered by two small children who had come to Sunday School early and who immediately notified a near-by resident. A buck- et-btigade was formed and the ex­ tinguisher from the school was used. Members of the congregation and others of the village risked their lives to remove the organ, two pianos, the pulpit and honour rolls. For a time near-by buildings were endangered, but the arrival of the Ingersoll fire truck, although too late to save the church, saved these buildings. The church was a frame structure, built in 1861 and later remodelled with a brick veneer. It is believed that the fire started near the chim­ ney. The loss is partially covered by insurance and it is intended to re­ build if materials are available. Potash is used in making gun­ powder, hand grenades and aviation gasoline. ♦ (TA- outrititool itottmroii io "Eoi-te-Wori-to-Wro"or,aarptoblo to biotrititn Smricti, Drportomt of PoouootaodNotioool HraJlb, Oltovo,forllH Cooodioo Kalrilno FR E E !

Igy°6 _________________________ THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1943OTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK — By Dean Wilson — INCREASED MOMENTUM LOOKING AHEAD There seems to be an undercur­ rent to increase the momentum of the activities along Parliament Hill so that this session may be com­ pleted as quickly as possible under the circumstances and well-informed circles would not be surprised if such rapid progress will be made in order that this session may close earlier, though this is not likely to be true of some work by committees which may have to carry on after the session will end, particularly by the committee on social security or post-war problems. However, a pre­ cedent has been created already whereby the work of a committee can be continued even when Parlia­ ment is not sitting and it may hap­ pen again. SUBSIDY SYSTEM “Why should the subsidy system be restricted to industry or to pro­ ducers of those commodities and be denied to agriculture?" demanded a member in the House of Commons, pointing cut that subsidies were being paid on coffee, tea and or­ anges without endangering the price ceiling. “It is not,” countered Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Minister of Finance. "The principle is the same,” replied this member quickly. “There are subsidies payable to agriculture amounting to at least $100,000,000 a year," said the Minister. While no details have been given out, yet it has been disclosed in Ot­ tawa that the Government has been investigating international commer­ cial aviation and an ' inter-depart- mental committee has been funct­ ioning for months, with this body offering timely advice to the Gov­ ernment as a result of its investiga­ tions and in line with conditions so that in reality Canada is keeping fully abreast in regard to plans of this likely common method of inter­ national travel or transportation. POLITICS IN WARTIME It can be reported now that ob­ servations backstage along Parlia­ ment Hill have indicated that, in­ stead of the present war situation putting an end for the time being to the habit or practice of partisan politics, it had continued such a ten­ dency amongst the representatives of the major and minor political parties, with this having been re­ sponsible in this session for muck argumentation over trifling points, many retorts against accusers with similar charges, much fault-finding in general, many informal asides or utterances in personalities, and other similar manoeuvres so that these have resulted in constant and repeated political speculations about the possibility of a general election taking place in Canada sooner than the man-in-the-street might expect ment Hill suggestive of the urgencyof an immediate general election inthis country but somehow or other there has been a feeling that a roundabout way of “preparatory" steps seem to have been in the mak­ ing for just such a possible occurr­ ence when events or facts would warrant an appeal to the people. At least, without any definite indication or open declaration, this feeling has been remarkable. Even with extra­ ordinary conditions of the times re­ quiring record numbers of billions of dollars to be appreciated so that tremendous debts are passed to gen­ erations yet unborn and authority to be delegated in wartime, it has been apparent that partisan politics has been too deeply rooted to be erased completely. In the midst of a critical war period and a heavy as well as contentious legislative pro­ gramme in this session this feeling seems to have been marked more and more by such loud, hot-temper­ ed cries and sharp, passionate ex­ hortations, by such , irate, bitter questions and frank, free-spoken answers, by such sharp divisions on foreign and domestic issues, by such displays of jealousy of its rights,, and by such eagerness to listen to the voice of the people, that all these have been reminders of the habit or practice of partisan politics and the “preparatory” steps which in the past have preceded sooner or later appeals to the people in this country This feeling has been re­ sponsible for the trend of political speculations amongst the lobbyists along Pariiament Hill as well as in various circles throughout this country. —(Reproduction Prohibited.)

The three plays as presented bythe Young People’s Societies of theUnited, Anglican and Presbyterian Churches of the village on Wednes­day evening in the town hall, were enjoyed by a full house.

This has been hinted gently. M. J. Coldwcll, Leader of the C.C.F. Party, had suggested that it would be of value if at an early date the‘Prime Min­ ister would call an intern in his es­ timates so that there might be a discussion of Canada’s external affairs in order to enable a clearer understand.ng of some of the things which may be beclouding the issue. In reply, Premier King indicate® that he was anxious that Parlia­ ment should get on with its business as rapidly as possible, and before any new .subject should be discuss­ ed, matters on hand should be con­ cluded. “I agree I meant not to leave it until the dying'days of the session,” said. Mr. Caldwell. “I shall undertake with pleasure to see that matters of foreign policy arc dis­ cussed before that date," answered Premier King. WITHIN ONE HOUR After seventy-seven members had spoken in Parliament on the subject of the budget in thirteen days of actual sitting, Canada's biggest bud­ get in the whole history of this country, hamely $5,500,000,000, was passed in its motion stage in the House of Commons, with , three straight divisions within one hour’s time and with the Government being supported on the C.C.F. amendment, that, is the sub-amend­ ment 155-16, on the Social Credit amendment 160-1, and on the final motion 142-1-1.' ’ or sooner than it is generally rea­ lized. Of course, there has been a defin­ ite note of restraint, even deep se­ crecy, amongst all political parties in Ottawa in regard to precise plans or real intentions since professional politicians know quite well that dis­ cussions or talk about elections dur­ ing any critical war period may prove unpopular with the people, if not completely inopportune. But at the same time, there have been in­ direct suggestions that “prepara­ tory” steps have not been neglected so that it introduces indirectly to the mind or thought the hint that everything was being made ready for an appeal to the people of Can­ ada sooner or later, though it is only natural that the actual likely time of such a possible occurcnce in future should be unknown or un­ disclosed, being something which has DORCHESTER The April meeting of the W.

Using Dr. Chase’s KIDNEY and Q I I I C LIVER always been dependent upon the trill of the ^arty in power and even­ tualities or circumstances in the war.As a matter of fa?t, the King Government hxs a perfect right to wait quite a long time before its term of office must end and an ap­ peal must be made to the people since it was swept into power by an overwhelming majority only in ilarch of 1940, that is only about three years ago. In other words, there has been no legal reason to hold a general election at ttys time or in the immediate future. In addi­ tion, the major and minor parties will have to strengthen consider­ ably their political forced and to rc-J pair thoroughly their political fen­ ces before they will be in any posi­ tion to buckle on their armor prop­ erly for such a nation-wide battle of the ballots. Nevertheless, n legal reason alone may not determine necessarily if and when a general election ’ shall take place in Canada. „It may be a reason based on another cause or a set of causes whw^.' may impel Jthe ■Government to make an appeal to the people, at almost any time be­ fore the end of its legal term of of-, lice. It may be brought on by the existence of many thorny problems when the Government decides that it cannot solve them without a fresh and new mandate from the people. It may be forced when there arc serious differences of opinion in the Government. It njay be essential when agitation in the right circles cannot be settled otherwise than by a general election. It may become necessary to hold a general election on account of events or circum- ■*itandes, . fAt the moment, and it must be emphasized, that it is at the moment only, it cannot be stated that there have betfft extremely grave ’and ab­ solutely insurmbuntable disturban­ ces in political circles along Parlia- Miss J.

There’s the bit-by-bitmethod with your housecleaning systematically spread over a coupleof months. Walls, floors, furnitureand accessories are dealt with pieceby piece, or room by room, etc. This does not upset the wholehouse.In pioneer days there was justone type of floor and one method >f cleaning it—with sand (or strongsoap) and water, plus plenty *f elbow grease. To-day there aremany types of floors and finishes,each requiring special care.

But do writeus about your own special house­cleaning problems and we promiseto answer immediately. CEILINGS AND WALLS Care depends on the finish. Cleanthem a little at a time. Calcaminedand papered surfaces are dusted.Painted and wood-panelled surfaces may be carefully washed. Rinse asmall portion, then dry it thorough-ly. Many women apply self-polish-■ ing wax to clean dry-painted walls to prevent fingerprints and soil.SPOTS— Crayon—sponge lightlywith a clean soft cloth dampened with carbon tetrachloride; blot andrepeat. Do not rub. Smudge—use adough type of wallpaper cleaner orart gum eraser. Ink—blot immedi­ ately. Then apply a paste of fuller’searth. Ink bleaches are apt to re­move colour — apply cautiously.

LongSpring is here, and although thelady of vagaries may not know it,we are expecting something more from her than a few lukewarmsmiles. Those amiles look friendly enough, but why must she persistin briging with her the chill winds that pierce the flesh of the unwaryone who, seduced by the said char­ming smiles, is induced to throw off a few of winter’s encumbering gar­ments when he goes forth to meet her. Such smiles are those of the se­ ductress who wins favours only toflout her victims, to scoff at thenaivete that believes in her love. But we so adore Spring that we are likely to forgive her, even when weknow she has betrayed us often in the past and will continue to do so inthe future, for we also know thateventually she will relent and give us warmth with her caresses, and thather abundant warm tears wall cleanse and refresh our earth, to draw outthe reluctant greenness that lurksthere and conjure up the flowers that wait with tightly folded wings herbeckoning sunlit fingers. We do indeed welcome her silvery rains that wash away the debris withthe last of winter's snows, now so filthy, so far removed from theirpristine purity, and we give thanks that she will do her best to preventanother invasion of winter, with itspeevish disregard for the amenities,which should prevent a guest out­staying his welcome, ns this one sure­ ly has. She may not succeed. Old VVTHEN the Allied forces went on the attack, ” your twu-fold war responsibility became greater than at any time during the war. for on the attack, War materials just seem to melt away. The consumption of the supplies you are making is going on at an unbelievable rate—hasten­ ing the day of Victory and Peace. This means that the production of war supplies must go on; ever faster. It also means that the cost of the war is becoming greater. A great deal of these two responsibilities must be carried by war workers like yourself. Only you can maintain and increase the flow of essential war materials. And you, in common with every loyal citizen of Canada, can help finance the increasing cost of the attack. Your purchase of Victory Bonds h an essential part of the Allied war strategy. Bonds are intended to be purchased by anyone. They are not reserved for financiers, merchants, bankers or people of wealth only. You and I, and all of us can and should own Victory Bonds. The fourth Victory Loan will open soon. The mil­ lions of workers employed in Industry—war and otherwise—are counted upon to loan a definite part of the amount required in the biggest loan yet asked of the Canadian people. To reach it, more men and women and children must become bond purchasers, and it will be necessary for those who have purchased bonds in previous loans to buy more bonds.\ When your fellow worker calls on you to buy Victory Bonds BE READY. Give him two orders. One for cash, and the other for the very limit that you can buy out of earnings, on the Payroll Savings - Plan. Plan now to do your part to sustain the attack/ NATIONAL WAR FINANCE COMMITTEE. 1— Maintaining and increasing production 2 — Helping finance the war Winter persists with the fagend ofhis strength and often forces himeelfinto Spring’s domain, but she gathersstrength as he loses his, and finallyhe has to give up and let the youngthing have her way. When grown alittle older and more sedate, shesettles down to doing her business infine style and we wholly love her, forgetting her perversity, remem­ bering only her beauty. The birds, unlike the less satisfiedmortals, care little how Spring is accompanied. They are here onschedule and they let us know it.They begin to tune up as soon as they arive from their winter quar­ters, and lose little time in making plans for new housekeeping. Thecold weather which froze the vocalchords of the cardinal has relaxed sufficiently to allow him to carol hiswelcome, and the starlings preen themselves in the pale sun andsoftly whistle their various select­ ions, recalling the songs of theother choristers soon to be with us. The song-sparrow’ is very gay andalert and practises his love song while he awaits the coming of amate to appreciate his efforts and his new coat of gleaming feathers.All nature makes ready to dis­ play its wares in honour of themaiden season. Youngsters play marbles and skip the rope. Womenlook and admire the newest in strange looking headgear; the menlook and gasp and utter under-the- breath profanities, and the younglover begins to discover that "love” and ’ dove” and "time” and "thine”really rhyme. Surely Spring, with all the signs of welcome so evident, you cannotlinger much longer around that elusive corner. CULLODENMr. and Mrs M. T.
