Alonzo Rice Passes | At Home of Nephew Alonzo Rice, a former resident of the Woodstock district, who has beenfor many years in the West, and atthe home o r his nephew, Alfred Dickout, Lot 18, Concession 3, Dere-ham, passed away on Wednesday morning. He was in his 60th year.Mr. Rice was bom at Currie’s Crossing. He lived in the Woodstockdistrict but had spent some years atdifferent times in the West For the past 13 years he had been living atStar City, Saskatchewan and had just returned to the home of his nephewon Monday of this week. He hadbeen in failing health for eleven months and was ill when he arrivedhere.He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Sadie Dickout, Deteham Townshipand Mrs. Mabel Sears, Woodstocl^.Funeral- arrangements had w not been completed at the time of goingto press. COUNai PASSES MOTION (Continued from page 1) The Chief of Police should enforcethe previous by-law. "Why tax thosewho pay an extra dollars for the fel­low who won't pay a cent at all?" enquired Mr. Smith. Mistakes aremade but they can be rectified wa*hi* contention. Councillor T. J. Morrison statedthat Councillor Smith inferred thatall stray dogs did not have their taxpaid, and this was not right in all instances. It was a case where theinnocent suffer with the guilty. Inmost cases dogs are well lookedafter, but the idea of the extra $1 was to penalize those who allowtheir dog to run free. It had notproved effective in this case, and he wished to concurr with CouncillorSmith.Mayor K. R. Daniel felt that theby-law as it stood did not fulfill the purpose for which it was intended.He also considered it to be unfair topenalize those who look after theirdogs in a proper manner. He stated that the increase in the tax was notdone for a money making scheme,butt to try and have the dogs control­ led* He believed that it would bebest to revert to the former by-lawand have those dogs looked afterwhich create a nuisance. Councillor G. Preston stated thathis friends have changed their minds.At the committee meting in whichthis matter was considered, practic­ally all were agreed that 22 wouldbe the fee. A fee of 23 was mention­ed, but it was held down to $2. Far­ mers in all the surrounding neigh­bourhood are paying a fee of 22and they really need a dog. Mr.Preston said that nowhere from Windsor to Toronto was there a dogtax of 21. As proof of this he pre­sented replies from various commun­ ities to which he had enquired abouttheir fee, and all were 2’2 or over. These letters were from Tillsonburg,London, Paris, St. Marys, Simcoe andSt. Thomas. “There are people in town who possibly need a dog, but who would object to a fee of 22 fora good dog?” Councillor Preston en­quired. People have complained both to the councillors and the Chief ofPolice concerning dogs that are anuisance and run in droves in differ­ent sections of the town. He feltthat the police should be asked to catch these stray dogs and said nomatter which way the by-law goes he expected Mr. Smith to back himup. Councillor Smith gave his sup­ port in this matter.Councillor Smith stated that it was provincial law that a tax beplaced on dogs and that it was not to be less than 21. No other familypets were included in this law as they were considered to be undercontrol. He thus considered it to beunfair to increase the tax for thosewho always have their dogs under control.Councillor Morrison said that these places to which CouncillorPreston had referred, also had their dog troubles, but had further re­strictions in that dogs cannot be. letrun at any time, while the former by-law here provided that dogsshould not run from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Councillor W. €. Watson said that he did not think the by-law imposed a hardship on the dog owners of the town. He thought that it should be let stand and feee what the results were. It could be reduced next year. Mayor Daniel agreed with Coun­ cillor Preston that a fee of 22 had been decided upon at the committee meeting. To date only one dog had been done away with. He also re­ peated that it was not fair to pen­ alize those who wjjre co-opertitig with tlie by-law. C.B.C. Will Give “Four Year Battle” Friday, May 28th In September of 1989 the Battleof the Atlantic began. Since then itha* risen to furious heights—spora­ dically moderated here or there onthe wide sweeps of the ocean, but\with quarter never asked or given.1b this battle Canada has played a major role. The Comrades in Armsbroadcast will tell the story of Can­ada’s part in the “Four YearBattle,” as a feature presentation. Friday, May 28,at 10.16 p.m. EDT.The Royal Canadian Navy in thebeginning had little to throw into the struggle. Yet within the last threeyears it has grown to the extent ofcarrying the major convoy burdenof the North Atlantic. Today the United States Navy is steaming outinto the Northern routes to sharejointly with Canada in the new anti­submarine programme. A Canadian admiral has been placed in jointcommand.Arm in arm with soldiers in the broadcast, are the khaki -clad menof the Canadian army, who willbring listeners a picture of thetoughest soldiers in any army divis­ ion. They are the “Sky Commandos”,men of the Canadian Paratroop Bat­talion. These are the men who will be the “spearhead of the spearhead”when Canada enters the finishingfight to come.The Royal Canadian Air Force is putting the technical side of the airfight before the radio audience,with a dramatic sketch, "AssemblyLine.” The story unravels in thegiant factories now humming withthe thousands of Canadian men andwomen workers, who made pianos, or\clocks, or canoes, or nothing atall four years ago and who now turnout the wings, power engines, andthe smooth, stream-lined bodies ofplanes used on all the global fronts. jUHTH THETROOPSjr David Stone of H.M.C.S.

Tbe Mixing Bowl By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economist HOMEMAKERS VOLUNTEER MEATLESS TUESDAYS Hello Homemakers! Restaurants and hotels must now’ observe meat­ less Tuesdays, and many homemak:makers are asking questions about the dishes the chefs are serving so they can follow suit, It’s a splendid idea because it will back the Gov­ ernment in the effort to reduce meat consumption and help you tostretch ypur meat ration over the week—especially if you use soup as a starter for your meals. One , most important dish for Tuesdays is soybeans. Unlike the more familiar navy beans, soybeans are rich in protein, low in starch (take heed! pudgy folk) and con­ tain 10 to 12 times as much fat at other kinds of dry beans. For suc­ cess in cooking, soak soybeans over­ night and cook,them on .“Low” heat in “soaking” water . We like them sprinkled with salt and served plain, or with molasses (if molasses is available) like Boston Baked Beans. Parsnips are the inexpensive vegetable this week. If your family think they do not like them, just mash your parsnips along with the potatoes, or cook them with carrots to offer a nice, flavoursome dish with omelette or fish, for your meatless Tuesdays.

"SALAM' To Help Supply Protein Feeds Although the position with respectto feed grains in Canada is still fav­ ourable, there is serious shortage ofhigh protein feeds and the demand for these exceeds the current orprospective supply states the Cur­ rent Review of Agricultural Condi­tions M Canada. Increased live-stock numbers and the objectives set forthe 1943 production of poultry, eggs, bacon, and dairy products are press­ing on this supply and the FeedsAdministrator has moved to remedy this shortage where methods are available. Fish meal produced on thePacific Coast has been diverted from export markets and a recent orderhas limited the protein percentagesin commercial mixed feeds to ensure an equitable distribution of the sup­plies available.. Another order calls for the coar­ ser grinding of alfalfa meal andmineral feeds, and a subsidy of $3per ton will be paid to processors of alfalfa meal for meal ground., and.ready for use. This policy is design-'ed to encourage the production of meal while maintaining the ceilingprice, thus contributing to the pro­tein supply. AVON Mr. and Mrs. A.
