THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE Since the banning of the preset, threshing season s».mc three w.ek Rationed Foodstuffsa Problem for Farmers at Threshing Time ago. the office of Robert McNiven. secretary of the local ration board, has been be-w-iged by country appli cants seeking extra coupons for auger, tea and butter, to meet theemergency created while threshing is | One of the big tasks of the rural housewives is making ample provis ion to satisfy the keenly-whetted appetites of those engaged in thresh ing the season's grain crops. Those who are familiar with farm activities know there are many things associated with the threshing season that are traditional. They know that the work is arduous and that there always seems t- be a rush. The threshing “gangs” are always in demand when the weather is favorable as there is a general tendency to “separate the wheat from the chaff” with as little delay as possible. It also is traditional that the threshing -_ason is a time for elaborate meat'. ' This has been a custom down through the years, but with probably some eliminations during the war period on account of rationing. However, in the past there has always been an abundance of pies and cakes by way of delicacies and. a great variety of the other more substantial .items which in their en tirety give the threshing dinner a close resemblance to a real banquet. And the appetites of the threshers, it might be said, has also become traditional. By virtue of the work they do. the threshers naturally have robust appetites and there is no one who would attempt to disparage their , ability as judges of pies and cakes and sundry items. Under the rationing system the country housewives have been pretty much at their wits end to maintain their former standard of meal* but from accounts they are doing their utmost, and what is more there is , no doubt their meals are still en- , joyed tp the same old-fashoined de- ;gree.]The demand for the additional cou- . pons has been one of the greatest ever experienced here, probably due , to the fact that harvesting was gen- era! almost at the same time and , threshing is being carried on in all , sections. The local ration office is "servi cing” a wide territory, it was learned. In addition to the Ingersoll district, applicants for extra coupons come ’ here from Thamesford, Lakeside, • Embro. Mossley and Putnam areas, and the farmers in all these sections have been making full preparations early to provide in a liberal manner . for the days they will have the , threshers with them.

H. Pickard: “In a letter received by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Pickard of West Monk ton, formerly of Newark, from their son, Bill, he states how he acciden tally met up with his brother Jack, on the battle front in France. In speaking of the meeting he states that he had met Glenn Crystal the day previous and that he had infor med him that Jack was nearby. In starting out to locate him he had met up with Major J. C. St. John, who took him up to where Jack was located. Jack came down to my quarters to-day at noon and remain ed over until evening, and we sure had a most enjoyable visit together. In a postscript added to Bill’s letter, Jack had the following to say: “I nearly fell over last night when Major St. John came up where we were with Billie in the car. He looks pretty .good, bigger than I am, I guess. We had quite a talk this afternoon about old times, and I think he more of a fighting than J am.” Ther by| League Elects Officers for Ensuing Year , At a recent meeting of the War .

Mow of Oats Slipped .. Burying Team and Wagon Brownsville—An unhsual accident occurred in the barn of I. E. Fenn, when the whole mow of oats slipped sideways, burying Mr. Fenn, Sr., the team and wagon. Warned by his son Harry, who grabbed the hay fork rope and hung 15 feet in the air when he felt the mow slipping. Mr. Fenn, Sr., jumped under the wagon and was able later to crTwl through the oat* to safety. The two men found it necessaiy to cut a hole in the east end of the ba an, lay planks to the hole, and slide the horses down to the ground— after several hours' hard work. The rubber-tired wagon was still covered with oats in the middle of the barn. Harry believes the acccident was due to the fact that he had dug some hay from ' below the oats, as this was being covered with oats and he wanted some hay for feed for the horses.

Are we following a will- of-the-wisp. or will something sub stantial come of it all? These and other questions are constantly going through people's minds to-day. for never was there no much talk about planning. Most municipalities have planning and re construction committees, all keenly anxious to do something to make their community a better place in which to live. This de ire t- improve our living conditions is widespread, and is the most hopeful sign that all this talk of planning will come to something. The basis of successful planning, and of getting projects under way to implement the plans, is to have as many people as poss ible taking an activg part in the plans. After all plans should be nothing more than the engineer's and architect’s statement of what the people want to do. The people of Ontario must take stock of their present living conditions, they must decide for themselves whether or not they are satisfactory, and if not, what changes they want. This is the first step to be taken hy the plan ning and reconstruction committees. When this has been- done the ex pert planners are invited in to put the ideas into workable plans. If any municipality first invites in the experts to make a plan for them it will probably be unsuccessful, for it will be the experts' idea of how they should live, not the people’s. Our men and women overseas are looking forward to a better place wherein to live after the war. They expect us to think about the im provements that are needed and the changes that must be made, and to have plans made so that when this war is over we can all join forces and build an Ontario and a Canada second to no other country on earth. Our duty is clearly defined even though at this moment we do not know how all our desired projects will be financed. Let us assume that funds will be found for all worthy projects, just as funds were found to fight the war. Mr. and Mr*. Earl Henderson *of Hartford.

Perusal of town and village papers reveals an inspiring interest in the welfare of the armed forces. They are giving leadership in every direction—cigar ettes, socks and sweaters for the men who fight on land, on sea, and in the air; bundles for Britain, jam for British children, comforts for “bomb- ed-outers." Steadily they support such worthy causes as the Kinsmen’s Milk for Britain Fund, the Evening Telegram British War Victims’eFund, and the Queen’s Canadian Fund. It would take columns to tell of the valuable work which the rural press of Canada has done to stimu late recruiting, to raise money for comforts, to sell Victory bonds, and the like. They have kept up a sus tained effort since the commence ment of the war. Many A lad fighting in Italy or France or sailing in the corvettes* which guard the precious argosies crossing the Atlantic could testify to the pleasure he has been given by letters and parcels which might never have been sent but for the promptings of the weekly editors. Some of these editors fought in the Great War. They know what a letter from home means to a lad in a far country. Canada is indeed fortunate in pos sessing a weekly press which is cap able of rendering great patriotic service at such ’a time.—The Globe and Mail. LOOKS AT O tt a w a — By Jim Greenblat — In the next general election voting among Canadian servicemen over seas will be supervised by seven spec ial returning officers who have al ready been appointed. This, it is pointed out, doesn’t mean that an election will definitely be held in the near future. You see, a large num ber of Canucks are with British and other Allied units in every theatre of war and unless the special officers are on the job in the voting territories quite a time before a gen eral election is ordered, ' necessary arrangements couldn’t be made. Church groups in Canada, with a realistic and patriotic foresight are taking cognizance of the fact that over sixteen thousand Canadian sol diers have married British girls and that their coming here to live will have an impact on our church life. Churchwomen of Ottawa, for in stance, have issued an appeal to Brit ish war brides, printed on an attrac tive' card, from which we quote just one paragraph: "We do hope that you and your husband will talk things over together and will to gether decide on a church home where you can worship and work as a family. It would be such a help ot you and to us if you would at once make yourself known to the local church of your choice. We pray that you may both find the courage and wisdom that you need for these dif ficult days and for the days of peace for which we all long.” Ingersoll lost another highly es teemed resident on Friday morning, August 11th, in the person of Han nah Shank, beloved wife of Dr. J.

Economists of the Dominion De partment of Agriculture seem to fear another farm land boom is in the making and are warning farmers about what happened in the last war and after. It is pointed out farm land values are on tha upgrade again. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics claims the average value of farm land across Canada, which was $24 in 1935 and 1940, has risen to $28 in 1943. There is a moderate land boom in all provinces except Sas katchewan and possibly British Columbia. It is desirable that there will be recovery from the low levels of the 30’a but speculation in war time, they warn, is another thing. Land rose to $48 an acre in 1920, but 15 years later was seslling for half the price.

The maximum of $10,000 is just double that allowed under an act passed for veterans of the last great war. Many ^yural women are operating the family car these days. Thus for their guidance the Consumer Branch passes along a word of counsel on the new ruling of selling a car or trading it in on another one. The price asked for sale of a car, or paid for purchase of one, must not be more than that authorized by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Moreover^ the price must be baaed on the condition of the car and if it is not in reasonably good shape, reduction from the ceiling price must be.'allowed at the time of sale. A statement signed by both the seller and buyer must be filed within four days of the date of sale with the nearest office of the WJ».TJB., where forms axe available. For the protection of anyone buying a used car, all models must be tagged with a label giving a complete description Mackenzie King shows his sister, Mrs. Lay of Barria, Ont, th* par* llaxnent buildings In Ottawa, on the morning of th* anniversary, which'was marked by the arrival of congratulatory messages from all over th*’world. of the vehicle and the sale price. The Special Products Board wants to set right a possible misconception governing the sale by the producer of seeds of alfalfu, red clover, alsike clover, and alsike-white clover mix-' lure* They explain that maximum retail prices only have hem set. These retail ceilings govern sales by one producer to another, but other wise there is no set price to the pro ducer.

Cattle slaughterings totalled570,975, up 29 per cent. Sheep and lambs at 318,255 recorded an ad vance of 27 per cent, A decline of 16 per cent was shown in this period for dairy cattle exported to United States, when 18,769 went over. Apropos of th* paragraph above,the postawar future of our agricul-tural industry i* tied up with exporting possibilities, and It ia interestingto know that deliveries of egg* in1944 to the Special Product* Boardto be made into egg powder forshipment to Britain, was well overtwic* that of 1943. Total purchase*made by the Board to the end ofMay. 1944, amounted to 5h million dozen* aa compared with 28.5 mil lion dozen* for the same period cf 1943. The coal problem, with winter looming in the not too distant fu ture, comes to the forefront again. Munitions Minister Howe has stated that a* substantially leas United States and Welsh anthracite has been received in Canada since the beginning of April, as compared with the same period last year, it will be necessary for householders affected to burn substitute fuels. In order to make up, at least in part, for the shortage of anthracite the govern ment has made arrangements to pro vide additonal supplies of coke for Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces. A department official at a poultry conference in Toronto declared that the end of the European phase of the war by no means marks the end of the time when Britain will re quire considerable egg supplies from Canada, but that history might be taken as a guide for determining the length of the adjustment period. 'After the last war. it ws 1920 be fore Denmark began to approach her pre-war volume of exports to Britain and 1921 before she reached her previous volume. Holland, not until 1923; Belgium and Sweden, not until 1926. And it must be re membered that Denmark, Holland nnd Sweden were neutrals and un harmed. Few people realize that the prairie province* of Canada ar* fairly heavy producers of honey. In the 1943 honey production of Canada, which was 39,492,000 lb*., three prairie province* produced 13,667,000, about a third. Saskatche wan was the heaviest of the three, with over five million pounds. On tario gave u* over 19 million pounds, or a little less than on»,half the total for Canada. The Dominion Bureau of Statis tic* is urgently appealing to farmers to fill in and return the card quea- tionaire* sent them from time to time, as quickly a* possible. These statistics are used to compile gen eral records on agriculture in Can ada so the government can get a fairly accurate idea of the amount of food being produced each year. In wartime, with this country feed ing many of our Allies across the ocean, this information is really vital. Individual returns are kept confidential and are not used for income tax purpose*.

All Y.M.C.A. boys’ summer camps across Canada are booked to over flowing, and it is expected that 13,000 or more youngsters will be given a healthy holiday before the summer is over, Nelson McEwen, boys’ work secretary National Coun cil Y.M.C.A. said in . an interview recently. “In all there are about 40 Y.M.C.A. boys’ camps in the Domin ion," he said. "They are open to all classes, regardless of race or sect.” Mr. McEwen said camping is no longer considered merely an oppor tunity for boys to get into the fresh air. “It is a chance for them to learn how to live in a Christian democ racy.” “The boys who go to camp become part of a community,’’ he declared, “and are respegted for what they are and the part they take rather than who their parents are or how much money they have.’’ “Surprisingly enough most camps this year have an adequate staff of supervisors,” he said. “Teachers and even private citizens, realizing the values of a camping experience to boys, have taken a week or more of their summer vacation to assist in this work." “It is not always remembered that the Y.M.C.A. pioneered in or ganizing boys’ camping. The first boys’ camp was opened at Chance Harbor, N.S., in 1889. This being the Centennial year of the world Y.M.C.A. reminds us of the first Canadian camp.” Figures estimating the 1944 fruit production in Canada issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics on July 29th. the second estimate this season, place the total apple crop at 15,814,000 bushels, a 22 per cent increase over the 1943 crop.

Many Swallows Make An Autumn | have gone bravely through a modern | blitz, doing their part to relieve the sufferings of victims of it, still shud der and shake when the element* go on the rampage. And the uncanny feeling of creepines*, of the hair ris- ■ ■ ing on the head and neck, when some — ” n and unexplained noise ’ startles us. Is not that a race mem- i qry from some faraway sire who , fought^the known and the unknown, , and bristled all over as he did it? We each of us store our minds with memories; we each of us reecall them; as we store, so we harvest. Memories of loved ones who gave to our infancy and youth the joy we knew; memories of scenes lovely in j themselves or made so by associa- ■ tion with someone beloved; memor- i ies of pain endured and overcome; I memories of weak moments, from which we are rather prone to shy; memories of temptations and weak ness overcome, about which we can still feel pride; memories of books read, of plays seen, of music heard; and memories at all times of those, who went through life with us and made it the grand and glorious ex perience it is. back vividly to our minds something momentous that occurred to us years before and allow us to relive it in Where we keep this marvellbus index of mem ories, one can only guess. Certain it is that everyone’s is different, a recording of everything he has ever done or thought, along with the doing and thinking of others whose lives have impinged upon his own. But we are heirs too, to all that has gone before. Our memories reach back to the distant past, even to the past that has remained unrecorded, for do we not manifest fears, un founded fears in our times, of those remote ancestors of ours, who suf fered from the wild beasts of the jungle, and of those terrors that besciged them,, when contemplating the unknown? How else explain the fair that besets some of the bravest people at the sight of a domestic cat? Isn’t it likely that that same fear was felt by our early proge’n- itbrs at sight of some unknown wild beast? Or fear that so many have qf-thunder and lightning. Isn’t that explainable as a relic of the super stitious fear of Jove and his thun der bolts? Even some of those who Did You Know? It is not our purpose to be gloomy but have you noticed swallows flock ing along the country roads? Hun- dredajjf them dot the strands of tele- pho'ne-wjre appearing like quarter notes on the musical staff. This means that summer is on the wane. To us humans it doesn’t seem long since these birds were harbingers of spring. Now they are harbingers of autumn. To- swallows, perhaps it seems a long time since they arrived here. In the interval, between spring and now, they have established their homes, built their nests, incubated their eggs, and reared their families. Incidentally, they have swept myriads of insects from the air. Now their work is done. They can gather in family groups and neighbourhood assemblages to loaf awhile before flying southward. Of course, we have been thinking about swallows in general. Actually there are a half dozen different kinds native to Ontario. Reference to ex hibits in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, will show these to be—the tree swallow, bank swallow, rough winged swallow, barn swallow, cliff swallow and purple martin. Most of these spend the winter in southern countries .from Mexico to South America. In order to pbtain a newspaper in i England, the buyer must present an . old newspaper to his dealer. Alarm clock cases are now being : made from compressed paper. Such' > clocks are now being shipped from Canada to South Africa, New Zeal- ; and Australia.

F. Perkin, Director of the Co-operation and Markets Branch of the Ontario De partment of Agriculture. Ten of tbe new unions are located in Northern Ontario. Thes figures compare with 43 new credit unions incorporated during the whole of 1943 In Ontario, only one of which was located in Northern Ontario. All told there are now 203 Credit Unions in Ontario, with a combined membership of over 36,000 persons and total assets in excess of $4,000,- 000. Practically all of this substan tial growth has occurred within the past four years. Despite the many uncertainties’^ under present war conditions, allVidications point to acontinuation oX the same steady growth during the near future, with the probability that 1944 will see a larger number of new unions incor porated thdn during any of the past four years. In 1940, there were 41 unions incorporated; in 1941-26; in 1942-38 and in 1943-43, while in 1944 up to July 29, 40 have been incorporated. The purpose of credit unions is to promote thrift amongst their mem bers and to create a source of credit for provident or productive purposes for them at rAsonable rates of in terest Their membership is limited to well-defined groups having a com mon bond of occupation or associa tion, or to groups within a well-de fined neighbourhood pf community.

The aenaational DDT, for In-.lance, w m produced by a Europeanchemiet seventy year* ago, but itsmerits aa atr insecticide were notdiscovered until recently. Rotenone, the active principle of derris and cube root, was used by gardeners in the Orient long before its virtues be came recognised elsewhere, The in secticidal properties of pyrethrum were discovered accidentally in Dal matia, when around a bouquet of the aster-like flowers hosts of flies lay hors de combat. Ten years ago Japan was tbe chief source of pyrethrum, but now it is the British African Colony of Kenya. From earlier curiosities these or ganic insecticides grew in favour to become necessities. So great is the demand now that supplies are inade quate, and government regulations restrict their use to certain specific purposes. Thus, most of the roten one in Canada is required for cattle warble-fly powder. DDT is nearly all demanded at present in the prepar ation of delousing powders for the armed forces, which is true also of pyrethrum. Sabadilla, or the ground, treated seed of a lily plan grown in Venez uela, is now coming into use as a substitute for rotenone. Sabadilla likewise is not a new remedy. It is recorded that ranchers in Venez uela used concoctions of the seed in water to control lice on cattle, for which purpose it will now be used’ in Canada. Experiments conducted by several investigators in the U.S.A., have proved its value beyond doubt.

Every owner of a registered shotgun may apply for the purchase of 50 shot shells. Any one possess ing both types of guns may make application for the purchase of both types of ammunition.

These important labor disputes ir. certain sections of Can ada have marked such unrest anu-i gst workers in vital undertak ings or essential enterprises. At Halifax, 3000 shipyard workers bad gone < r. strike in protest against the refusal of the company to institute a ur-.n check-off and maintenance of union membership clause. In Montreal, about 4000 employees of the tramways and bus system of Canada’s metropolis had paralysed the entire communications of the largest city in this country and one of the greatest centres of war indus tries by a sudden strike after only 24 hours notice on a point of a legal ity of an issue or agreement. At Stellarton in Nova Scotia, about 1000 miners in three pits of the Acadia Coal Comany had struck in protest against the dismissal of two employees. In Quebec, the taxi-cab operators had entered upon a lengthy strike against the refusal of the . Wartime Prices- and Trade Board to approve an incr’-a-*- in the initial rate of service . No less than about 5000 workers of the Dominion Forge and Stamping Company had stopped ■work when the company had appeal ed to the National War Labour Board a decision handed down by the Ontario Regional War Labour Board which appointed an arbitra tor to hear the dispute. MOMENTOUS DECLARATIONS There is much interesting discus sion backstage along Parliament Hill on some of the latest momentous dec larations by Prime Minister Macken zie King on the external affairs of this nation amongst the nations of the world , especially his statement that, "if the new world system is to be conceived in terms of power alone, peace may be kept for a time but not for long.” He insinuated that there should be action in a large number of lines, particularly in the direction of raising the standards of of living, and that the whole effort should be directed towards "lowering the temper of nationalism and thus diminishing national rivalries and reducing the importance of fron tiers." Furthermore, amongst other significant timely disclosures, the head of the Government in Ottawa revealed that he agreed with the view of Premier Peter Fraser of New Zealand that no one Government of the British Commonwealth could speak for other Governments in re gard to the suggestion sometimes heard in this country that the Brit ish Commonwealth should speak with a single voice in the ipost-war inter national setup; he stated that mem bership in the Pan-American Union was under consideration by the Government, though action in this matter would have to await the end of this war; he hinted that the or ganization for peace after this war was one of the principal subjects of consideration at the last confer ence in London of the Prime Minis ters of the British Commonwealth; / he maintained that it was necessary \yTbr the United Nations to bring into the peace period “the machinery ofmilitary, political and economic co operation which has proven so suc cessful in war.’ Jiy35 »,n an empleytneni *i>d I>n*uran<t bill of the Benefit Gsrara Iment, and ia 1919 te rater the Gee-1srnawnt's contract with th* John I Inglis Company to the Public.

I -------------- MEMORABLE REPLY In answer to those people in th ■> country -who seek information about the beneficial operations of thia nation's mutual aid programme, a memorable reply has -been given by Canada's Minteker of Finance, Hon. J, L. Ilsley, to the leader of the "Bloc Populaire Oanadien” party. Maxi me Raymond, when the latter asked the Minister what contribution Great Britain had made toward Can ada. With obvious deep feeling, this Minister replied in part: “I do not think we have done any more for Great Britain in this war than Great Britain has done for us. The honour able member may have a different view about it but I do not think so. I explained fully the basis for the use of the word “mutual”. It is based on the fact that when a nation ends its men out and those men lose their lives, they are doing something for the common cause—just as we are when we make machines and so on. and contribute them to the war." AMENDMENT FAVOURED Since there has been such wide spread attention paid in Canada to the treatment of cancer by Dr. J. R. Davidson of Winnipeg, it can be stressed that sometime ago Premier Mackenzie King had indicated that he was willing to support those who would seek an amendment to the British North America Act to allow a full-scale investigation into the treatment of cancer. SHORTHANDED CONDITION The extent of the shorthanded condition of veterinarians in this country has been contained in the disclosure of the Department of Agriculture in Ottawa that generally about 25 men have been required each year to take care of replace ments but from the only two veter inarian colleges in Canada at Oka and Guelph there were only 41 grad uates a year ago and only 19 this year. ARMY ANALYSIS The Minister of National Defence, Hon. J. L. Ralston, has revealed in part that about 140.000 men of the Canadian Army enlisted for active service were in this country. In ad dition, he has disclosed that about 50,000 or more are or can be made available as reinforcements overseas; another 50,000 are of a military category which did not permit their serving regularly overseas, though teiey might be sent for special duties; 25,000 are of age groups, ranks or medical categories so that only a limited number of them can be ab sorbed within establishments of the overseas army, even if these are not definitely unsuitable; 10,000 are on the staffs of administration, train ing and servicing units in this coun try and 8,500 of them were in the veteran’s guards.

The Ontario Division of the Can adian Red Cross Society has been contributing a unique service, through certain of its larger bran ches during the past two decades, and it is hoped that this service may be extended to other areas, to' meet post war problems. There is to be a co-operative course of intensive training in home making in Toronto, September 11 to 23, under auspices of Ontario Divis ion of Red Cross and the Toronto Visiting Homemakers* Association. Miss Nesta Hinton, supervisor of Nutrition for the former, and Miss Marjorie Bell who directs the latter organization, have planned an excel lent program of instruction. Speak ers will include the noted child psy chologist. Dr. W. E. Blatz, as well as representatives of the Victorian Or der of Nurses, Catholic Welfare Bur eau and the Hospital for Sick Child ren. < Those wishing to take the course should contact their nearest Red Cross Branch, or write Miss Hinton, 621 Jarvis St, Toronto. The announcement by the PrimeMinister of Canada that there willbe established in the Dominion Government a Departanent of NationalHealth and Welfare under a minister of national health and welfare will meet with general approval through out Canada. The previous announce ment that in tbs development of the the Departments of Veterans’ Affairs Reconstruction and Welfare, the name "Health” would disappear as a title for either minister or depart ment created a feeling of dismay in the minds of all who have considered health as a first objective of the Government. That the name "Health” should vanish just as the Government prepared to launch on an extensive Dominionwide health program was more than anomalous. It is significant that in many of the most progressive countries of the world it has been considered essential that there be a minister of health. Notably this is true in New Zealand, which seems to be a world leader both in health services and low mortality rates. Similarly in Great Britain and Belgium, there are ministers of health. In Australia there is a minister of health and social service. In France before the war there was a minister of family and health. In Russia there is the powerful People’s Commissariat of Health. In other countries there are ministers of health which suggest other allied objectives in their titles. This is true in Brazil, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Newfoundland. In the United States although there is not as yet a secretary of health in the cabinet, there is the United States Public Health Service with far-reaching federal powers. It is most significant that there is not as yet a secretary of health in the cabinet, there is the United States Public Health Service with far-reaching federal powers. It is most sifinificant that there are three great countries in which one fails to find the term "health" in connection with any ministry. These are Germany, Italy and Spain. Apparently totalitarianism and health are far apart in theory as well as in fact. Benjamin Disraeli—great Prime Minister of the last century—stated that the first duty of the statesman in the care of public health. That Canada will establish a Ministry of National Health and Welfare means that the Dominion recognizes the true ideal of statesmanship. Had we dropped the term, it would have im plied less attention to health. That we have retained it is a guarantee of our sincerity in our stated ideal of better health for all of the people. James A.

The Ingersoll Tribune / P h o ns 13 “The period from August 15 to September 29 will be the critical period for farm help in the Province of Ontario, particularly in the fruit and vegetable sections of the Prov ince,” says Alex Maclaren, Director of the Ontario Fann Service Force. “While it is true that just at the present moment there is a temporary slack period, the big rush of the fruit and vegetable crops will begin about the middle of August and for a per iod of six weeks we will require all the voluntary help that can be se cured from every possible source." For general harvesting work on mixed farms, said Mr. Maclaren, men and boys urgently required. Thousands of them can be used, either for the full period of six weeks, for holiday periods of two or three weeks, or even for odd days at any time during the harvest sea son. Any men and boys who can give any time whatever to this work are urgently requested to communicate with the farm help headquarters in their own community, or, if none has been set up, to get in touch with the Farm Service Force Headquarters at the Parliament Buildings, Toronto. For fruit and vegetable farm* there will be a tremendous demand for women and girls as fruit and vegetable pickers, particularly in the fruit sections of the Niagara Peninsula and the Cooksville area. It is imperative that all the farm ser vice camps for girls be kept filled until the crops are completely har vested and any women or girls who can give their’time from August 15 unti^ the end of September for this vital-work are urged to apply to the Farm Service Headquarters. The girls’ farm service camps, with their comfortable living quarters, excell ent meals and Y.W.C.A. leadership and supervision, are ideal places in which girls can spend their holidays and from August 15 on there will be an abundance of vacancies for girls who are'willing, to help in the work of fruit-picking. The need this year, with heavier crops will be more urgent than ever and Mr. Maclaren is ap pealing to all girls and women who can spare the time to volunteer for this very urgent form of national ser vice. Applications can be made now to the Ontario Farm Service Force, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Wheat and Oats Heavy Crops in District The yields of grain in this district have been especially good this year. Threshing of wheat and oats has been in operation the past three weeks and in most sections of the county will be completed by the end of this week. Farmers have been favored with ideal weather condi tions, although the heat has at times been almost unbearable. There has been no serious interruption by rain and in mangcases the threshers have made a clean sweep of t)ie district where they first started. Estimates jof the fall wheat crop range from 35 to 45 bushels to the acre. One farmer has said that he got 370 bushels from eight acres and the quality was excellent Another farmer has stated that hisoat crop was exceptionally heavy and will get an estimated yield of 65 bushels to the acre. Canada Ha* Dona in Wartel J A Robertaoa, Agricultural)Cosnnuaasoaer far Canada la Great•mam, wte to in Canada to een-suit with Bon. James G. Gardiner,Minister of Agriculture and officialsof the .Agriculture Department saidon his arrival in Ottawa that the prestige of Canada in Britain was never as high as now. The people of the British Idea, he mid, are amased how Canada with a population of less than 13 million has done ao much in the war effort. How the Dominion has been able to contribute not only incredibly large quantities of essential food products of noUbly high quality, to supply armaments and munitions and to maintain hun dreds of thousands of men and wo men in the navy, army and air force, has the British guessing hard. Col. Robertson said that as a re sult of the generous supplies of bac on arriving in Britain from Canada, the British Ministry of Food has been enabled to increase the weekly ration by 50 .per cent, or from 4 ounces to 6 ounces per week. In 1941 Canada shipped over 425 mil lion pounds of bacon to BriUin; in 1942, 600 million pounds; in 1943, 675 million pounds and this year will ship substantially more than in 1943. Canadian bacon is arriving in Britain in good condition but now takes longer to cross the ocean and has to be held in cold storage much longer than in normal times. Conse quently British consumers do not re ceive as high class a product as in times of peace. Col. Robertson ex plained that about 80 per cent of the British bacon ration is made up of Canadian bacon. He said that Canadian cheese continues to be held in high regard throughout Brit ain as it has been for the past 75 years. The British cheese ration is 3 ounces per week but varies slightly with supply. Canadian egg powder is regarded by the British Ministry of Food as an excellent food product and the5-ounce package finds favour among consumers. Col. Robertson said he does not think there will be any hesitancy on the part of the British housewife and the hotel and restaurants to return to shell egg after the war. To( what extent egg powder will be used in the confectionery and bakery trades depends on its price in competition with frozen eggs. Frozen beef from Canada is now arriving in Britain in considerable quantities and is appreciated. The British people welcome the apples from Canada, he said. Before the war. Nova Scotia and British Columbia apples were available in substantial quantities, but shipments since 1939 have been sharply re duced. Col. Robertson said that he has been impressed during the two years he has been in Britain by the cour age, the cheerful fortitude, and the ingenious resourcefulness of the British housewife. “She has been one of the principal bulwarks of the nation, has looked after the children while their father is away in Africa or India or on some other fighting front, kept up their morale, stood for hours in queues, made a little go far, and has even found time to do something for the Red Cross or some other war agency. Now she takes shelter with the children from flying bombs. She is the modern heroine,” he said. Concerning post-war trade for Canadian agricultural products in Britain, Co). Robertson said it will depend principally on quality, con- Wild Carrot IncreasingOn Ontario Farm*A new * pamphlet dealing with thecontrol of wild earrat, one of themost rapidly-spreading weed* in Ontario, ha* been published by theCrops, Seeds and Weetb Branch ofth* Ontario Department of Agriculture, John D. McLeod, Director ofthat Branch a rm ounces. Wild carrot 1* a biennial weed that is on the increase in Ontario along roadside* and in permanent pastures, eay* Mr. McLeod, and in the interest* of good fanning and attractive highways and byway*, vig orous action i* necessary to suppress it. Wild carrot being a biennial weed, can be killed if prevented from seeding for two yean in suc cession. The new pamphlet gives details of contra! methods through ploughing and cultivation, close mowing of pasturing sheep on in fested fields. It also gives informa tion regarding the use of chemical weed killers as a control measure. Any farmer* who are interested are urged to write to the Crops, Seeds and Weed* Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, asking for the circular on “Weed Eradication by Chemicals” as well as for the new pamphlet on “Wild Carrot" ------------------------------------- Of Interest to Women For Dry, Brittle Hair If too strong dose of the summer sun has resulted in u coiffure with dry, brittle ends—it’s a simple mat ter to give yourself a head of shin ing, healthy hair again! Ordinary vaseline will do the trick and nicely too. As part of your bedtime rou tine, rub a little vaseline or special hair cream into the palms of your hands and rub the ends of the hair between them. This supplies the needed oil directly to split ends, gives a good healthy gloss and prevents further hair splitting. When hair is in this faded or drab condition, daily brushing is more important than ever. The action of the hair brush stimulates the scalp to act freely, checks dandruff and generally conditions the hair. For best results use two brushes, being careful to brush hair up not down, and with especially vigorous strokes near the scalp. Keep brushes clean with at least two weekly dippings in warm water and extra soapy suds to which 1 teaspoonful of ammonia has been added. If the sun has bleached or faded the colour of your hair to an unbecoming shade, try one or two professional hair tints at a good beauty salon. For simple, high-light ing, a colour rinse applied at home will be sufficient a bowl of steaming hot water, and apply the oxalic acid to the stain with a medicine dropper or glass rod. Allow it to remain for a few minutes, then rinse quickly in clear Ijvuter and launder as usual. To Relieve Oily Skin For those whose skin tends to be oily, here is a simple beauty routine that soon produces a fresh, glowing complexion. After giving your face a good whipped cream lather facial with your favourite beauty soap, apply a liberal dustimi of Carbon ate of Magnesia—you $an buy it at any drug-store. Repeat this treat ment every night for about a fort night. You’ll then find that once a week is sufficient to keep your skin in good condition. Lemon Juice for Rust Stain* I In summer .sheets and other things have a way of suddenly ac quiring rust stains. It isn’t difficult to remove rust marks if you use either ordinary lemon juice or ox alic acid. To remove rust vfith lemon juice, sprinkle common salt on the stain, keep it moistened with lemon juice, and expose to the sun . Rinse thoroughly, and launder in soapy- rich, grease dissolving suds. Oxalic acid works faster, but needs a little care. Always test a small piece of the fabric first to see that the oxalic acid is not harmful to it Dissolve three tablespoons of oxalic acid cry stals . . . (you can buy them at any drug store) . in a pint of luke warm water. Stretch the fabric over To Remove Gras* Stain* If a day in the outdoors has left grass stains on your dress or slack suit—here’s how to remove the offending marks. First, try the simple soap and water method. Work up a good lather with warm water and extra-soapy suds and, using a soft brush, rub vigorously across gras* stains. If greenish marks still re main, sponge them carefully with chlorine bleach, which can be bought at any drug store. Remember that several brief applications of the bleach are better than a single pro longed application. If your material is silk or wool, sponge with clear water and then with hydrogen peroxide.

A word which means the binding up of wounds, the re-uniting of families, the feeding of millions of homeless and despairing Europeans. It.is also a word which mean* hope, and surcease from suffering. It means the silencing of guns and it brings with it the sigh of exhaus tion whkh emanates from a country when the sounds of battle fade away add leave it gasping for breath. It is a word which ushers in the dawn of tomorrow, and of all the to-mor rows to come. It, means, however, something more far-reaching than three meals a day from a soup kitchen. Not qnly is Canada planning to assist widely in the immediate problems of mass feeding, clothing, and re-unit ing of families which will present themselves when the “cease fire" rings across the valleys and plains of Europe and of the Far East, but it has already taken upon itself the question of rehabilitation of the in dividual man and woman returning from the front. The Salvation Army is dealing now—here with the practical, imme diate, problems of the transition from Army to Civilian life. Hostels and Reception Homes are being es tablished in the large centres. A man is discharged from the Army, uses up his small demobiliza tion grant seeking a dwelling for his wife and children, and finds one but cannot take possession of it for another six weeks until the present tenant’s lease expires. Where to go’ What to do? The Salvation Army locates a temporary home for him, helps his family to move in, finds furniture, food, clothing—if necessary. When the man gets on to his feet and finds a job The Salvation Army believes that it has justified its efforts. The main thing is to help him in a practical way, so that he does not grow embittered and feel that his country needed him as a fighting man but docs not want him as a civilian. How to finance this work? The Salvation Army is setting aside 15% of the Setember 18-30 Home Front Appeal for the necessary work of rehabilitation and reconstruction in all its phases. Every citizen will ex pect the Army to do this work and who is better equipped than this organization which is so deservedly popular with all returned men and which has the record of sixty years of service in social amelioration in all departments of the national life. The Salvation Army recognizes the problems of reconstruction are much wider than the rehabilitation of he forces into civilian life. In the next few years the whole life of the community must undergo a great change from a wartime to peacetime economy end The Salva tion Army 1* prepared to uae It* great power* and vast organisation to assui the reconstruction of a bet ter national standard of life. Through your autotance The Sal vation Army Home Front Appeal answers the need* of returning war rior* and *11 needing rehabilitation and gives them a chance to find a place in the sun and take up the thread* of peacetime life once again with courage and hope. “Dad,” said the only son not in service, “I’d like to marry after harvest." “Why wait so long, son?” inquired papa. “Maybe she can run a binder.’’ Flaxseed should be stored oply when dry and in a dry place. ‘ Notice To Creditors JEANETTA JI Administrator o GEORGE RICHlate of the TownCounty of Oxfoceased, who diej 12th day of Auatribute the asseM of August, 1944gto claims of crJundersgned solid!Dated at Port25th day of July, 1944.W.
