Bornin London, England, Mr. Price who was in his 85th year, had resided in Ingersoll for many years where he was employed at the Ingersoll Pack­ ing Company. For the past several years he had made his home near Woodstock. He is survived by one son and one Eng- The manager of the local office ofNational Selective Service, Mr. *F.McDermott, stated that many moremen from the farms who can be spared for the winter months, are needed for jobs in other essential industries. A minimum of 150,000 men are needed, and while the re­ sponse has been encouraging, re­ quirements have not by any means been met. Instructions have now been received here, having been daughter, also a sister, all in issued by Arthur MacNamara, Dir- land. ector of National Selective Service • at Ottawa, that each Local Office is to intensify its efforts to induce more men to accept work off the farm for the winter. The Director’s instructions em­ phasize the following points: (1) While men from the farms are urgently needed elsewhere, no man should leave agriculture, if he is needed as a farm worker for the winter. (2) Men, will of course, return to the farm once again, when their services are required there. (3) Men dill be paid the regu­ lar wages for whatever job they ac­ cept, and transportation will be pro­ vided free if a distance has to be travelled. (4) Workers from the farm, al­ to' ready given postponement under the v Military Call-up by reason of being farmers, will continue on postpone­ ment if they leave the farm to take other approved essential employment for the winter. In communicating with Selective Service Offices, Mr. MacNamara said: “This appeal to workers not needed on farms for the winter, is both patriotic and practical. If jobs in the woods, to cut fuel, logs, mine and railway timbers and pulpwood, are not filled, the war effort, and as well our national welfare, will suf­ fer seriously. The same may be said of employment vacancies in packing plants, at railway mainten­ ance, in base mental mines, and in coal mines in some areas. Men not needed on the farms for the winter are the only sizeable supply of wor­ kers we have left to call on in Can­ ada, to get these jobs done this win­ ter. Certainly it is a patriotic duty for farmers who can do so, to re­ spond. Then, of course, the wages earned will add to the year's earn­ ings for men who take these jobs. The extra money will help ft home.” Mr. MacNamara points out that young farm workers on military postponement, where they can take winter jobs off the farm, will really be carrying out the intention with which postponement was granted— so that thqy may engage at essential work for as much of the year ns possible. Mr. McDermott, the Selective, Ser­ vice Manager, said that where men: could not be placed in this locality they will be given work in another district. In any event, there is no shortage of opening*; As the Provincial Governments are co-operating with Selective Service to secure men from the farms, any man interested may consult his Lo­ cal Farm Production Committee for details, as well, of course, as any Selective Service Office. Riley, Bower, PrestonElected to Ingersoll CouncilCharles W. Riley, Harry T. Bowerand George Preston, were elected to the municipal council in Monday’s voting with totals of 600, 596 and 372 votes respectively. The three defeated candidates were John A. Weir, with 266 votes; A. H. Ed­ monds, 235 and Archie W. Clark, 224.The election aroused little interest in the town, possibly because coun­ cillors only were to be elected, and there were no real issues to be de­ cided. The total vote was the small­ est recorded in a municipal election here in many year*. The vote in detail was as follows: The funeral will be held (Thursday) afternoon from this the Keeler and Johnstone Funeral Home, Woodstock, where a short service will be held, following which a ser­ vice will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Smith, Cherry street, Ingersoll, at 3 o’clock, with inter­ ment in the Ingersoll Rural Ceme­ tery.

If silver­ ware is neglected, dirt, dampness and moisture cause oxidisation (tar­ nish) which eats away thai metal. To avoid this, wash your table sil­ ver as soon as possible after using it. Wash it in warm, not hot water, and use mild soap suds that are safe for anything safe in water alone. Be sure it is thoroughly dry before you store it; and store silver that ium phosphate to two quarts waterm a bright aluminum pan and let­ting the silverware stay in the solu­tion not more than two minutes. Then wash thoroughly in gentle soap suds, rinse and dry thoroughly. This method will remove tarnish as if by magic but if the pieces are left in the solution too long, it may also re­ move some of the silver. Do not use the electrolysis method to clean oxidised silver as it will remove the oxidisation and do not clean silver knives with hollow handles by this method as the handles are apt to come off. cut felt very neatly.

Then turn the pail upside down and paint the bottom with a thick coat of enamel.

Make Gift Slipper* This is the year we make our Christmas presents at home instead of dashing off to the stores and buying everything in sight—not, of course, that there will be much in sight. A present that is always wel­ come to both grown-ups and child­ ren, is a pair of warm and comfort­ able house shoes or sandals, and these can easily be made out of old hats, pennants or other felt articles. If using hats, trace the pattern for the soles onto the brim, leaving ample allowance for seams. The top section of the shoe can be made from the crown and the shap- j ing of the hat will give the desired curvature for a snug fit. Leftover scraps can be used for the heels and I ties; and remember that a razor will Chief Petty Officer and Mrs. RossWilson of Halifax, spent Saturdaywith the former’s sister, Mrs. P.

Well, a little delving into our 1941 housing cen­ sus reveals that one-half of Canad­ ian dwellings had a bath or shower in that year. Seven per cent only of farm homes, but in cities of 30,000 and over the percentage is up to 89 per cent. Here are provincial per­ centages in that respect: Saskatche­ wan 16%; P.E.I., 21%; Alberta, 28%; New Brunswick, 31% Nova Scotia, 35%; Manitoba, 38%; Que­ bec, 53%; Ontario, 61%; B.C. 69%. Bigger cities bring up the percentage. Advice from the Department of Agriculture: While there is always a market for good seed of coarse grains, the probability is there may be shortage in the spring of 1944. It is expedient that every fanner should protect his 1944 crop by mak­ ing sure of his seed requirements be­ fore potential seed supplies have been aold on the commercial market. Present Is Good Time To Clean All Seed Grain A recent seed survey for the Pro­ vince of Ontario reveals that there are definite shortages of seed oats and barley for next year’s use, says J. D. McLeod, Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the On­ tario Department of Agriculture. These shortages are due to unfavour­ able weather at the normal time for seeding last spring, followed by rust damage later in the season. The survey has also revealed, how­ ever, that there are considerable quantities of seed from the 1942 crop which are still in the hands of far­ mers and also scattered areas throughout the province where yields from the 1943 crop will .make suit­ able seed.

Permission may only be granted with the understanding that anyone buy­ ing them will not have to surrender coupons. This concession, the Con­ sumers Branch W.P.T.B., informs me, only applies to gifts of these rationed commodities received from consumers. Merchants or others who are not consumers will not be allow­ ed to make gifts of any rationed commodities to these organizations. • • • The Dominion Bureau of Statis­ tics says that the supplies of feed grain in Canada in terms of supply per grain-consuming animal unit, are more than enough to keep the existing livestock population during thia, crop year 1943-44. Because all the surplus is in the three prairie provinces, the distribution problem is not as satisfactory as the volume. Hay consuming animals are well sup­ plied with hay and fodder, but with respect to high-protein supplements the supply is not so good and may affect adversely output of certain important products. The government is looking ahead by establishing ’a "food bank” in eastern Canada in case of emergency and if terrible weather conditions like last winter should hamper transportation. Be­ sides, several schemes including freight assistance and revised draw­ backs on western wheat for live­ stock feeding should help. An interesting Item gleaned from the 1941 census’of Canada is that 87 per cent -of Canadian occupied dwellings had radios, 40 per cent had telephones, 24 per cent owned vacuum cleaners . and 37 per cent had automobiles. About eleven per cent had all of these modern things while in 17% of the occupied dwell­ ings they had none, of these. These figures will probably realy jump in the postwar period when war sav­ ings go on a spree. The Agricultural Supplies Board has done considerable in a new field, the production of dehydrated veget­ ables. It was in thi* late summer of 1942 that the British Ministry of Food intimated they were interested in the purchase of quite large quan­ tities of dehydrated vegetables, par­ ticularly potatoes. Besides they were needed for the Canadian armed forces. Before this our Board did some experimental work equipping five Canadian dehydration plants and thus it was possible to meet the request from Great Britain, although the total quantity required was not met because of delay in getting pro­ cessing equipment for two extra plants.

This has been the real, background for the Government’s most careful and long consideration of the proper measures to control wages or to reg­ ulate the relations between workers and their employers in this, war, in­ cluding consideration of the propos­ als to improve the War Labor Board’s operations and to bring into closer co-operation provincial labor procedure. This has been the actual basis for the Government’s painstaking deliberations on the proper decisions which would encour­ age more and more production in this World War II without increas­ ing the cost in certain ways in face of strong pressures to the contrary, with a typical example of this hav­ ing been seen lately in the problems which arose when the Government wanted to hold the line by keeping prices within the limits in Canada and at the same time there were de­ mands for more and more hog pro­ duction in tune with the greater needs for foreign and home markets, though the ceiling price of $22.50 per hundred weight was deemed nothigh enough by hog producers due to the increased cost of feed. Never­ theless, a hint of the Government's future policies or intentions on price control actions in Ottawa may be Artificial Ice We can now accept cus­ tomers for Ice to be de­livered.

This history­ making project has involved the huge cost of $130,000,000 and it has extended 1630 miles northward, with the 26-foot road of grades being not over 10 per cent and being able to handle 1000 tons of freight daily. It was constructed in record time and in temperatures as low as 60 degrees below zero, with an oil re­ finery and pipe line being added so that the cost of gasoline was brought down from $3.64 a gallon to 2814 cents. Though it has been construct­ ed with great 'fapidity as a military road in this war, yet this expert view has revealed that the Alaska High­ way will be one of the greatest and most spectacular attractions for tourist travel after this war. in- CRIME and WAR Statistics have been released in Ottawa which should cause much deep thought on- the part of the man- in-the-street throughout Canada. These statistics have revealed that ever since the start of this war there has been a general increase in convictions for crime in this coun­ try during the first three years per­ iod both in regard to adult and juv­ enile offenders, though the latter have involved more numerous and more serious crimes during this per­ iod so that juvenile crimes have in­ creased to a record-breaking extent.

NO REAL BASIS FOR JUDGMENT No political significance has been attached in Ottawa to the results of the two provincial by-elections which were held recently in Mani­ toba in the constituencies of Bran­ don and Portage la Prairie, though stories to the contrary have been heard and national policies had been discussed in these contests where the C.C.F, had managed to win one of ‘the seats. It has been pointed out that both of these constituencies have much wider limits in the Fed­ eral field and that both Liberals and Progressive-Conservatives had sup­ ported the provincial coalition Gov­ ernment against the C.C.F. In other words, it has been indicated that the nature of these contests have pro­ vided no real basis for judging ac­ curately the results in these recent, provincial elections as throwing any; have not NOTEWORTHY MOVEMENT During the past few years the debt of this nation or its bonds have been payable less and less in foreign currencies and this has been a note­ worthy fact, with this same move­ ment continuing in the same exten­ sive direction more than ever during a considerable period of the present year, particularly where Canadian bonds payable in United States dol­ lars are concerned.
