is not that the casualties are increasing from air raids se much as fear of disease becoming rampant in the air-raid shelters during the winter months.People trained in first aid are able to accord comfort and prevent diseases from spreading.Their valuable assistance accorded inflicted persons has been of inestimable value to the medical profession.First aid is, therefore, being extended among C.P.C.organizations in Canada as well as in England.The first aid instruction book used for the C.P.C.work is that of the St.John's Ambulance Corps.Policing Is Essential Policing is essential, especially along our International boundary line.The United States co-operates with Canada and prevents as far as they can, eliens coming into Canada, and we in turn should try to stop Germans getting into the United States from Canada.These Fifth Columnist Germans are the men we should try to put under the control of the internment camps.In October a statement appeared in The Gleaner stating that 30 aliens had been caught attempting to cross the line in the Hemmingford area.That statement was correct, but today the number can be increased to 41.Border policing is needed, and mobile units constitute one of our greatest necessities.We must at all times fight the saying, \u201cThere is no danger.\u201d Such statements are nothing other than the results of the Fifth Columnist movements.C.P.C.is needed to break down this thought that does prevail in all too many minds.In the Hemmingford area, 18 or more constables will be stationed in order that every road leading to the boundary line may be policed.We hope that we never have air raids here, but that is no guarantee we won't and, what is more, it is hardly possible we would have a raid in a rural section such as here, but our cities might be subject to such raiding.In our rural centres J \u2018the Valleyfield-Montreal (Continued on page 5) ns Bell Telephone Operators Ent A GREAT CURLER W.G.McGERRIGLE, Ormstown, who

During Year The by-law in regards to levying a 2 per cent sales tax at Valleyfield was read a first time at Wednesday's regular session of the Valley- field Council.Its reading brought forth comments from the members of the council, especially Aldermen Viau and Laberge, Mayor Larin and City Manager R.Belanger.Ald.Viau declared that the tax would affect the poor man more than the rich, even if the water and land taxes are reduced.Ald.Laberge replied that the citizens have no reason to be alarmed as no proprietor in Valleyfield will ever be called upon to pay more than $25 per year in sales taxes.It would be preferable, continued Ald.Laberge, to reduce water taxes by half and have the land taxes unchanged.In that manner the small proprietor and the poor man would have\u2019 justice.Mayor Larin declared that Val- leyfield intended to impose such a sales tax within its limits to divide the debt of the city among all its residents.He reminded the council that Valleyfield's population had increased from 6,000 to 7,000 within the past year and many of these new arrivals do not pay any taxes whatever to the city.At Ald.Viau's request, the city clerk was authorized to write the minister of public roads stating that Valleyfield will be unable to keep highway open during the winter of 1940-41, (Continued on page 5) \"3 Alleged Germans Caught Crashing Border EarlyŸT ypes of Telephone Equipment \u2026 Hustrated above are several types of telephone equipment used in grandfather's day, when the new-fangled contraption was still in the experimental stage: (1) A model of Alexander Graham Bell\u2019s first telephone, over which speech sounds were heard on June 3, 1875; (2) One of the first switchboards, the Post type, was modelled on telegraph apparatus; (3) A \u201cHello Girl\u201d of 1880.The harness, transmitter and receiver weighed no less than six pounds; (4) The \u201cBlake Portable Transmitter\u201d was fashionable about 1893; (5) The Gilliland switchboard had a foot-treadle generator so that the operator could ring the subscriber's telephone bell; (6) The Standard switchboard replaced the Gilliland type about 1886; (7) The Blake wall telephone was used from 1880 until about 1905.The desk telephone flourished just before 1900; (8) The \u201cLong Distance Transmitter\u201d was the pro- | totype of the modern telephone; first manufactured in Canada in 1888, \u201cHello Girls\u201d Bid Farewell to Each Other Thursday evening the switchboard operators of the Hunting- don Bell Telephone exchange met at the home of Mr.and Mrs.R.E.McWhinnie where they spent a social evening together.This was a sort of farewell party for the operators, for on December 2nd the automatic dial telephone comes into use, thereby replacing the operators.With the installation of dial phones a great deal of extra work fell to the local exchange, therefor four relief operators have been attached to the staff of recent weeks.Mr.Clayton Campbell, District Superintendent and Mr.C.Griffith the District Wire Chief were in Huntingdon that evening and Joined the happy gathering of \u201cHello Girls.\u201d Cards and bingo were played in the course of the evening, Mrs.John Macrow, who acted as caretaker of the offices for 17 years, was also present.Three years ago, Mrs.Macrow was obliged to forsake her daily visits to Bell Offices due to ill health.Mrs.Macrow has always

Regimental M.O.Assisting, Lt.R.T.Lamb, Dentist Chateauguay Military Training Centre now has its hospital in operation.Evidently the trainees knew of its newsness and perhaps wanted to look it over, for on Monday 125 men registered complaints.They were very minor ailments, for only three patients are at present in the hospital.These three patients came on Friday with colds and were running a little fever so it was decided best that the boys be put to bed for a few days and then get their military training, rather than send them home, only to return at a later date.The complaints of the trainees were mostly sore feet.The soreness was in a large measure due to the excessive mud that was about the camp before the freeze-up on Monday.The boots were muddy and many of the boys washed their boots in water to get rid of the mud and, of course, the leather contracted, thereby making sore reeu.Hospital Has 34 Beds The hospital is equipped with 34 beds.Two wards are provided and at the present time one ward is in use, the second ward now being used as sleeping quarters for the hospital staff, which numbers eleven.Besides the two wards, there is one private room and one bed for isolation cases.The wards are bright and cheerful.The hospital is well lighted and has every appearance of being most comfortable.It is the only building in the camp that has central heating.Capt.G.A.Copping is an charge of the hospital and had but one complaint to make about the heating arrangement\u2014it was too dry for the treatment of patients who suffer from colds.Most of the patients who will be treated in this hospital will be cases of heavy colds Humidifying the air will, of course, be taken care of in due time.Entering the hospital from the camp entrance the trainees go to a receiving room.Here most cases are disposed of as it usually happens that the patients really require à bottle of medicine, a tablet or box of ointment, etc.Besides the private offices of the medical officers, there is a dispensary, stock room, hospital supply room and a very large kitchen which also serves as a dining room for the staff.Room for Camp Dentist In addition to the medical offices for Capt.G.A.Copping and the Regimental Medical Officer, Capt.F.M.Bourne, another room is set apart for the camp dentist, Lieut.R.T.Lamb.\u201cRolly\u201d Lamb is the name he is best known by, as he was one of the outstanding hockey players for McGill University.Strange as it may seem, Capt.Copping has acted as sort of & military \u201cfather\u201d to both Capt.Bourne and Lieut.Lamb, as they were both cadets under his instruction many years ago.\u2018They still must look up to me as thelr superior,\u201d says Capt.Copping, \u2018but Valley Curlers Represented By

women.The season is drawing close when the irons and granites will be cracking and the commanding orders to sweep will be roared out by the skips.We have in our famed Chateauguay Valley, a silent skip, and he is the skip that wins laurels year after year for his home club.Wherever this silent skip goes he is looked up to and admired.The opposing skip right well knows from the very start he is in for a battle if he hopes to win against Mr.W.G.McGerrigle of Ormstown.Mr.McGerrigle plays the game to the very last stone, and as he has often told curlers: \u201cMany a game is won towards the end of the game, so never give in because the opposition gains a substantial lead.\u201d Mr.McGerrigle has been a member of the executive of the Canadian Branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club.It is this Club that formulates the governing rules for Curling and organization where changes and schedules might best be arranged so as to make things run | smoothly throughout the curling |

School band will stage its first concert some time in January, it was announced this week.To date there are a greater number of boys interested in the band at the school than had been anticiputed when it was formed a few months ago, thus showing the popularity of musical education in the schools.The band holds its regular practises on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.The enthusiasm of the boys at these practises speaks well for the school and will help the participants in their quest for better music.The players are doing exceptionally well considering the short time at which they have been practis- ng.The instruments for the band arrived in Huntingdon a few weeks ago and except for a bass and drum, they are all well handled by the musicians.The January concert will be staged for the primary purpose of showing the parents of the students and those interested in education the possibilities of the band and the asset it Is to the community.Those who form part of the band average 13 years of age or less.The youngest players are Stuart Tedstone and Arthur Brown.It is estimated that its membership will have reached twenty by January 30th.© Changing Telephones Wil Health and

evident lack of literature and games for the trainees.They earnestly request the public to give them, or any others who are interested in the canteen at the Chateauguay Military Training Camp, games which they may have at their disposal.The long winter evenings which are close at hand will force the trainees to remain in camp more than in the fall.The second group of trainees which arrived in Huntingdon on Priday morning will certainly benefit more by the entertainment provided at the camp than did the first group.It was announced on Monday that a moving picture machine, with a variety of films, had heen purchased.This machine was seen in action for the first time on Monday evening when the trainees had the opportunity to see a very interesting moving picture.To keep the trainees interested after training hours, the Canadian Legion, which ls well represented in Huntingdon by the Huntingdon Legion, is preparing a series of concerts and other entertainments, - in the new dial

$200,000 IL 15 estimated that the entire project Involved an expenditure of approximately $200000, a substantial part of which was spent on the reconstruction and extension of outside lines, especially in rural areas.About TO circuit miles of wire and 2,500 feet of cable were erected to provide additional fartlities between Huntingdon and Valleyfield.8ix miles of cable was erected west of Huntingdon Lo Ooffey's Corners, and a further stretch of four miles was put up to Athelstan.Both underground and overhead rables were provided in Huntingdon itself.The reconstruction of rural lines involved the placing or replacing of about 2,000 poles and the erection of more than 300 circuit miles of wire.These additional wires were needed to reduce the number of subscribers on certain rural party lines to a maximum of ten.All these operations have been so carefully co-ordinated to fit in with the cutover date that the actual (Continued on page 5) Huntingdon\u2019s New Dial Telephone

Man and Land N another column appears a letter urgently recommending our Canadian Wheat Board to have the \u2018processing tax\u201d on wheat withdrawn.\u2018This letter points out that this tax on wheat represents a $20.expense to the average family of 5 people per annum.Whilst the Federal Government will ultimately receive its $6,000,000 from this tax, it reduces the food buying power on the home market of some $40,000,000.This column has expressed its opinion on more than one occasion as averse to the 8% sales tax.We know our governments need cash to carry on the War, but we still feel sales taxes are not the best method of raising funds.To make money, a country, just as well as individuals, must buy and sell, and through such trading profits are accumulated.How much better it would be for Canadians to trade without sales taxes, or as this so-called \u201cprocessing tax,\u201d being imposed.Let all the money be put into circulation that is possible.The people with low incomes will live on less money; the pensioners will be able to live in greater comfort and the business man or financier will be doing a bigger trade.If the financier manages to make more money, and he will, then impose the direct tax on him in the way of an even greater income tax.No one will say the income tax is unjust.Such a tax is merely taking money from those who are able to pay because they earned an income due to their business acumen.It is not just or right that poor people should be called upon to pay sales taxes.If our Governments would do away with sales taxes they would be able to liberate a great staff of office employees, accountants, etc, that might find a more acceptable position in aid of the Empire through their beinz affiliated with the army.Duck Hunting Tourists LONG Lake St.Francis waterfront are a great number of summer camps used during the duck hunting season.Being so close to the International boundary, many Americans like to visit Canada and spend a day or two duck hunting.Why is it that the season for duck hunting in this area is from Sept.15 to November 15 and not the same as in Ontario, which is for October and November, we do not know.This we do know, that duck hunting ceases on the southern side of Lake St.Francis in the middle of November and continues on the north shore, that is in Ontario, for two weeks later in the Fall.All duck hunters know it takes good cold weather such as we expect late in November to make duck hunting really good.The license for duck hunting is $5.25 for the season, and we have no rate for one day hunting.The fee as it stands is not conducive to American tourists 10 come to Lake St.Francis to hunt ducks; but if the day license was available, perhaps a greater number would come, and after having one good day's hunting would return for another.In many cases the visitor would perhaps be just as well off had he pald the $5.25 for the season's hunting privilege.The season of the year is at hand when the Provincial Fish and Game Department will be preparing its publicity for next year's tourist trade.It might be quite in order for the Department to make a change as to duck hunting season as it pertains to Lake St.Francis, and also consider establishing one day license fees for Americans.We can all rest assured the ducks are quite plentiful enough that they won't be slaughtered by the Americans, if these changes were made.The change would undoubtedly be an inducement to many Americans to come to Lake St.Fran- cls, especially on their Thanksgiving Day, which is always late in November.Salute the King and Empire the trainees arrive in camp they are taught to salute their officers.Sometimes the trainees wonder why it is they must salute officers they do not even know.One of the very first things the trainees are told is that this saluting is not done as a compliment to the officer, but to the uniform he is wearing, emblematic of an officer in His Majesty's Army.When the trainees learn of this, they appreciate the knowledge so tactfully explained to them.In regards to saluting, we might mention that when we go to church we often see the Union Jack adorning the walls.As the congregation arises to sing our National Anthem, #t 1s fitting that one and all should stand erect facing the flag which is emblematic of the King and Empire we are honoring through singing the National Anthem.It is impolite to stand with your back to the flag; so, wber- ever you may be, if you are singing the National Anthem, face it.Today a great number of banquets are held for one purpose or another.The first toast offered is to \u201cThe King.\u201d It often occurs that as the people arise to drink the honored toast they do not know whether to sing the National Anthem before or after they have drunk the toast.Again the proper thing to do is to arise, stand erect and face the Union Jack.If no flag is visible, face the head table, and sing the National Anthem, and after that drink the toast to \u201cThe King.\u201d Facts and Figures of Canada at War DDRESSING the House of Commons, the Prime Minister gâve some facts and figures of Canada at war.Here are a few

alive to the economic importance to the country of that crop.Yet the value of newsprint exports in 1938 and 1939 exceeded that of wheat exports by over $10,000,000 each year! But in both Ontario and Quebec there is a large excess newsprint manufacturing which has been an embarrassment\u2014both industrially and politically\u2014for many years.Because of the anxiety of the competing mills to obtain a maximum share of the business available, thereby operating as close as possible to capacity, newsprint prices a few years ago were at such a low level that the whole industry was demoralized.Mills went into bank- rupicy and considerable unemployment resulted in towns which often had no other industries to provide work for those who were thus thrown out of employment.It might have been contended that excess potential production, with consequent selling at cost or even below cost, has existed from time to time in other industries without governments feeling constrained to become actively interested.A case for non-interference by government might have been made out on these grounds except for one major consideration.Most of the forest areas from which Quebec and Ontario newsprint manufacturers take their pulpwood are owned by the public.The provincial governments concerned are the trustees of the public in leasing these forests to the Industry.To this extent, the public has direct proprietary rights in the operations of the industry and provincial governments have an unavoidable duty to see that newsprint producers do not deplete the public forests without proper return.Certainly it was not a proper return when the producers, in what might be termed a death struggle for existence, depleted the public forests, and then gave away the finished paper at less than the cost of production to newsprint consumers in other countries.Consequently, after much negotiating between all parties concerned, the provincial governments of Quebec and Ontario stepped in to endorse a division of the available business between all the mills in proportion to the productive capacity of each.This policy was designed to stop the denuding of Canada's forests to make newsprint for export without any profit accruing to any Canadian interests \u2014either producers, employees, or even provincial treasuries.But exemptions from this policy were granted\u2014principally in favor of the Ontario Paper Company.This company makes newsprint exclusively for the United States publications, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Daily News.The company is owned, lock, stock and barrel, by the publisher of these two newspapers.Yet, this mill is permitted to operate at its maximum capacity, which not only reduces its cost of production (perhaps by as much as $10 per ton) but still further lowers the amount of business available for pro-ration between the other mills.While the other mills are compelled to Limit production to their share of the demand for newsprint, the Ontario Paper Company has contended, with success, that it should be allowed to operate to the limit of its capacity because it sells paper only to its owners and 1s not, therefore, in competition with other mills in the general market.As a matter of fact, this company does compete\u2014and most disastrously\u2014with other mills, because it is allowed to manufacture far more than what would be its share of the total volume of newsprint if pro-ration were applied to it.On many occasions in the recent past, both the Chicago Tribune and the New York Dally News have exposed editorially distinctly anti- British sentiments.Yet the provincial governments of Quebec and Ontario agree to the owner of these papers cutting down our public forests in order to make newsprint to the Umit of his needs, while, at the same time, Canadian mills are required to limit their output according to the amount allowed under pro- ration.Such discrimination in favor of a foreign publisher whose papers have frequently been unfriendly to the British cause would be hard to understand at any time; at such a crucial time as the present it becomes tncom- prehensible.WLLL Ce CTP Chronology - of - Chateauguay, Beauharnois and Huntingdon Counties VYYTTPTTPPX Ye I ER OY From Manuscripts of The Late ROBERT SELLAR IIIT TI IIR TCT | GILBERT WILSON\u2014Continued.One year Brisbin contracted to take out oak for a Montreal firm.and when he had it cut, went down for a farthing advance, which they refused, as it was still in logs.He came back unable to do anything.and to make matters worse that spring the water was very high and took the logs off the banks and swept them on to the rapids and sunk them in the river.Old Alex Logan went to him and induced him to sell his right in the logs for $18.Logan then got oxen, drew the logs out, and together, and plundering enough cedar to float them, formed them into rafts and took them to Quebec, where he sold the oak for $1,800.(A raft of oak broke in going over Ste.Martine dam and was never seen again, the oak sinking in deep water.I recollect of the Indians cutting a pine tree, out of which they made a canoe 50 or 60 feet long by four feet wide.) He brought the money back in Spanish dollars and.as was his custom, buried it on his farm and it has never been found.Logan was a notorious character.A short stumpy Highlander, who in winter wore a

worked for him at 1/6 a day, but I refused and sued him before Brown, who gave judgment for 2/-.The old man paid me.drove me to his place, made me stay all night, and gave me my breakfast.That winter he fooled me and another man by telling us privately the other had declared he could hew more, and so, by establishing a rivalry, getting more work out of us.(William McKell: Logan got my mother to spin 150 lbs.of wool for him, for which he paid her only 10 cents a pound).I consider the seasons were better when we came.We had more spring rain and better crops.Now our springs are dry.Wheatley was the first one who had the Norton Creek mill, and spent all he had in trying to make a business, but there was not the grain in the country then and the mill was awkward and wanting in power.You had to carry your grist up two stairs to where the stones were.An Indian once said to my father on looking round our fields: \u2018This one time all ours; now smooth like lake.\u201d I was not one of

in Finlayson's company, and was out both in '37 and '38.In the latter year we were stationed in Norton Creek mill, where I nearly met my death, for a sentry, John Cross, on coming off duty, carelessly trailed his musket behind him.The lock caught and the gun went off, the bullet going through the ceiling and grazing the side of my body, for I was standing leaning on my sword at the time.Our men were timid and had foolish ideas of the strength of the French.One evening a patrol came in with word that a body of French was approaching.I said the best way was to go out and surprise them, but they were all for remaining indoors and fighting that way.I called for volunteers, when only 18 came forward.We went out and found that the French were coming to surrender themselves prisoners.We had difficulty in getting into the mill, owing to those who remained having barricaded the doors with great logs.I was sent by Col.Campbell with a detachment to arrest 15 French-Canadians towards that his

Power Project (Cornwall Standard-Freeholder) FROM several rellable sources, The Standard-Freeholder has gathered some details which should prove highly interesting to United Counties residents.The majority of them are unofficial, and not all of them are new.They are listed below, with the reservation that they are subject to correction when and if the precise plans for the development are published.The project envisages an 82-foot dam and power houses capable of generating 2,000,000 horsepower.The dam will take the form of a huge are, about one-third of a circle.This will be known as the main Longue Sault dam.Farther upstream, at the head of the rapids, there will be another, smaller dam to act as a buffer.There will be an 80-foot fall of water where the power is generated.Except

spectacular but necessary work of all three services manning this countries defences.But overshadowing everything else has been the picture drawn of the marshalling of Canada\u2019s forces both of men and material for the terrific struggle that still lies ahead.J.L.Ilsley, minister of finance, last of the war ministers to address the House, issued a warning to the Canadian people against easy optimism.The war had not yet been won.We must put forth our maximum effort.We must not only bring all our resources into use, \u201cbut in addition we must restrict as far as possible civilian use of all those resources that can be used for war.\u201d \u201cIf we are really honest in demanding a war effort to the utmost,\u201d he said, \u201cwe must expect to be taxed until it hurts.\u201d Canada\u2019s war expenditure was now about one billion dollars a year, approximately one- fifth the national income.These expenses had risen from 40 million in June to 82 million in October.Revenue receipts in this fiscal year to date were 145 million over last year.The minister further assured the House that economies in expenses not connected with the war were greater than had been estimated.Seeking to arouse the people to the imperative need of greater sacrifice, the minister said their obligations to economize, to pay taxes and to invest in war loans would increase, Opposed to Social Credit Idea The minister was opposed to the suggestion of Social Credit members that the war should be financed witheut an increase in taxation or (Continued on page 6) the river, it is the

THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENT There are some people who are never quite so happy as when they are roaming in wide open spaces, breathing the fragrance of flowers and trees, whistling a tune in response to the sparrows.Such people live life sicply, with no thought for impressive formality, no desire for brilliant functions.There are others with a marked preference for city life with its endless round

can be happiest.But learn to adapt yourself to every environment, so that you can be happy everywhere.And remember that environment has a tremendous influence upon manner and manners.Do not remain, therefore, for any great length of time, in an environment unsuited to your personality.in an atmosphere that keeps you from living your best.Choose environment as you choose friends, with a regard

Mac- Diarmid, who celebrated her ninety-second birthday on October 4th, walked through field and wood gathering materials wherewith she made a beautiful large wreath which she placed on the Soldiers\u2019 Memorial at Havelock Town Hall for Remembrance Day.The wreath was composed of everlastings, bitter-' sweet, and vines, arranged to produce the aruistic effect for which Mrs.MacDiarmid has such | extraordinary talent.Be it not-| ed that, back of this labour of love, there is not only the gift of discerning taste and of deft manipultation; there is also the ; spirit of appreciation, of faithfulness, and of gratitude which prompts to thus commemorate the sacrifice of the fallen every year as Armistice Day recurs.Mrs.MacDiarmid\u2019s interest in growing things, and her taste for worth-while reading have helped to keep her active mentally and physically.Her hearing has been defective for a long time, but yet again, her spirit of loyalty has brought her out to the services of her church, Her eyesight continued unimpaired up till the last few years, but now she has had to forego the pleasure of reading to some extent.So far as we can learn, she is the oldest inhabitant of Have- lock township.She is the youngest and only surviving member of the family of the late John Barr and his wife, Susanna McConnell, who were both natives of Ireland.They had five sons and three daughters, of whom those who spent the major portion of their days on Covey Hill, and consequently were best known here might be sald to belong to the most intelligent class in the community.Mrs.MacDiarmid\u2019s brother, Samuel, judging from the number of local legends in which \u201cSam\u201d Barr's inventive capacity and original and kindly character played a leading part.probably approached as near to being a genius as any son of the Hill, and would seem to deserve a special essay all by himself.Her brother Charles had a marked gift as a narrator, who

extensive reading.Her brother, Col.James Barr, was Mayor of Havelock, and first organized a Cavalry Company for his district.He was at first Captain, later Colonel of the Company.Mrs.MacDiarmid was a pupil at Hemmingford School, and became the wife of Richard Mac- Diarmid, who was born in Hem- mingford.He was a prominent farmer on Covey Hill up until his death about thirty years ago.During her widowhood, Mrs.MacDiarmid has had to bear the loss of a beloved daughter and grandson.The former, Miss Christina MacDiarmid, taught school in Western Canada and married Mr.A.Armstrong of Botha, Alta.,, where Mrs.Mac- Diarmid visited her daughter.Both Mr.and Mrs.Armstrong have since died, and a little over a year ago the death of their son Ross, in a flying accident at Sudbury, was a painful shock to his aged grandmother.She received a visit on Armistice Day from Ross's brother, Grant, his wife, and their little daughter Barbara.Grant Armstrong is a graduate of Edmonton University.At present he is teaching chemistry at Macdonald College.and also taking up postgraduate work at McGill University.Who knows but that his great-uncle, Sam Barr's genius has been bequeathed him?At least of one thing we can be quite sure, and that is that the sight of little Barbara must bring joy to great- grandma's heart.The above interrogation and affirmation may apply likewise to Mrs.MacDiarmid's son, Mr, A.A.MacDiarmid and his family.He, his wife, and their two sons make his mother happy by their visits.Mr.MacDiarmid graduated from McGill with the degree of B.Sc.in Electrical Engineering.He is now an executive and chief engineer of Price Brothers and Company, Limited, Quebec.Our aged friend has the solace of frequent visits from her daughter, Miss Margaret Mac- Diarmid, who, having taught school for several years, has since been engaged in secretarial and business positions.Mrs.MacDiarmid now lives with her nephew, Mr.J.C.Barr, Covey Hill.He and Mrs.Barr provide her with all the care and comfort required to make her happy in the sunset of life.: DOMESTIC SCIENCE COURSE AT HUNTINGDON HIGH SCHOOL : On Friday afternoon.Nov.15, grade eleven girls at Huntingdon High school had

recorded.Some of the trainees ought to lose weight because some appear to be heavy.particularly four lads who each weigh in excess of 220 lbs.One trainee weighs 240 lbs.If these heavyweights can reduce 40 lbs.each through training.they will most likelv be thanking the camp, instead of being critical because they lost some surplus weight.+ + + As we think about sizes, how would you like to

better physically.but seem to be be taking a much brighter outlook upon the trainee camp than did their predecessors, who entered the camp with a sort of horrible fear.As a matter of fact, many of the lads have expressed delight in coming to camp.as they look upon their month's training as a month of physical training that will do them a lot of good personally and at the same time make them robust

support the national drive against tuberculosis by making more successful than ever the annual Christmas Seal Campaign, which is sponsored by the Canadian Tuberculosis Association and 63 co-operation local agencies from coast to coast, with which the Chateauguay-Huntingdon committee is affiliated.Returns from the 1939 Christmas Seal Sale showed that more than $190,000 was raised for the prevention and control of tuberculosis, every cent of which was needed to carry on the splendid work undertaken in every part of Canada, much of it done by voluntary workers.It was a record amount for the Seal Sale, which was begun in Canada only in 1927.In our community $178 was raised, but the committee hopes to double that amount in 1940.This year.with the war in a critical phase and our Dominion's active participation stressing the necessity for unflagging action to maintain the health of the nation, the imperative need of raising an even larger amount than before is evident to those whose duty it is to ensure the lives and well-being of 11.000.000 Canadians against the ravages of a dreaded disease, The money raised through Christmas Seals is used in your own community.Thus, everyone in Chateau- guay-Huntingdon who buys Christmas Seals is helping to prevent and to check tuberculosis in our own neighborhood.y Just Around the Corner The Mount Royal Hotel is right at the very centre of

As we look back now at World War No.1, it is possible to see that the Germans were beaten J at the Battle of the Marne in the \u201cearly weeks of September, 1914.When the Nazi tide that was rolling on the city of Paris was stemmed on the banks of the River Marne, the four remaining years of the war served only to emphasize the decision reached then.There was a long way between German defeat and our victory.Today Hitler's invasion of Britain has become the evasion of Britain.Though he still vindictively rains bombs on the people whose spirit he could not crush, and upon the cities which he could not conquer, Hitler has headed his army eastward where piece-meal victories may be more easily attained.By this military evasion, Hitler has in fact admitted defeat, and in my opinion the tide has now \u2018turned.But once again, as after the Battle of the Marne in 1914, it will be a long way between German defeat, and the day when our Wednesday, November 27th, 3495 COFFEE MAKER $6.50 1

his many and varied attacks to bring the British its knees.Empire to Hitler Turns Eastward Having turned from Britain, Hitler has already succeeded in completing the liquidation of eastern Euroue.Rumania is now, for practical purposes, part of the German Reich.But where does he go from there?Between the forces which he has poured into Rumania, to be the spearhead of an attack toward the Dardanelles, lies Bulgaria.Russia regards Bulgaria as a little Slav brother which she is not inclined \u2018to let any European bully \u2014other than herself\u2014mishandle.It may be very significant that after King Boris of Bulgaria visited Hitler 10 days ago, and upon his return, Bulgaria papers began to publish German news agency dispatches to the effect that Germany was not only willing, but anxious to help Bulgaria get an outlet to the Aegean Sea through Greece, Moscow sternly warned Bulgaria that there had better be no playing with the idea of joining the Axis.If those reports be true, then apparently Hitler did not reach any decision with Premier Molotov on his recent visit to Berlin.Or at least, S al and Ç 507 6.95 Ir Branch and see the wide range of u electrical appliances mow on

Set last week: Hungary joined the Furthermore, there is little Axis! That ob viously is nothing doubt but that should Hitler suc- Cut a show, seized upon by the German propaganda machine as the best that they had to offer their people who had been led to believe that some great diplomatic triumph was in the wind.Hungary has been completely within Hitler's power for at least à year.If, after seeking further llance with Spain, Russia and Bulgaria, this is all that Hitler can produce, it is a distinct dip- omatic geteat.0 rance anc Spain are ruled today by military men.As national leaders military men have many faults, but among hem cannot be found a lack of realism.Their training and temperament leads them to look \u2018acts in the face, and act ac- zordingly.It is true that some- Imes they cannot see past the mmediate situation \u2014 such is \u2018heir realism.Thus, when France was beaten last June, Petain and Weygand decided, \u201cOh, well, we night as well make the best of it.They could not see beyond \u2018heir defeat to the advisability of carrying on the struggle at Britain\u2019s side \u2014 because they hought that Britain was doom- 2d too.During the last few months they have watched the failure of Germany to smash Britain, and with American aid rowing every day, they know that there is good reason to believe that where Germany failed once, she will never be able to succeed.Now they are looking that fact in the face, and acting accordingly.France and Spain There is little doubt now that Petain has refused to make a deal with Hitler, whereby Germany would get the use of the rrench African bases, the French Navy, and perhaps French North African troops, in an attempt to break the British strength in the Mediterranean.Weygand is in Africa, in command of 15 div- sions of troops that he has organised to ward off any attempt oy Gen.de Gaulle to secure those resources for free France.But there are rumours now that Weygand has seriously reconsidered his decision of last June, and although that does not necessarily mean that he will join us again, it stays Hitler's hand from doing anything rash, which might force Weygand to such an action.That would be a calamity for the Italians, for it would place their African forces between two lines of fire\u2014from Egypt and Algiers.So, as much as Hitler would like to be ruthless and perhaps occupy the rest of France, he must go on bargaining, for the forces and bases which he seeks are beyond the Mediterranean Sea where the British Navy rules supreme.As for Spain, she is exhausted by a long and bloody civil war.Furthermore, she is subject to the mounting tide of American opinion because she borders on the Atlantic where its influence can be felt to the full.Surely it is significant that in a dictator country where rulers can never back down on their word, unless the consequences look mighty PORTABLE MIXER AUTOMATIC IRON 38905 Letters to T he Editor Sales Tax Repeal Assoclation 991 Bay Street, Toronto.November 6, 1940.The following is the substance of a letter sent to the Canadian Wheat Board, Winnipeg.Dear Sirs: \u2014 Pigs Preferred to Children We acknowledge receipt of your | letter of August 19 informing us! that a new penalty of fifteen cents\u2019 per bushel has been imposed, called a \u201cprocessing tax,\u201d on the crime of preparing wheat for human food, a penalty not applying to pig feed.A year ago a somewhat similap proposal for the excise tax on vegetable oils was withdrawn when it was pointed out that the added burden on the family budget for foods and soaps would amount to some four dollars per year.We hoped that by delaying our answer for a month, an answer would be unnecessary, that the processing tax would be similarly withdrawn.In writing now we wish to point out a few of the reasons why the proposal should be withdrawn without delay.(1) This processing tax at current Toronto prices, amounts to 16 2-3% of the cost of the raw material for many staple foods.Added to the present sales tax of 8% this makes | a total penalty imposed on those who! prepare wheat for human food of almost 25% which does not apply to wheat prepared for pigs.To this must be added other costs and in- terferences incidental to its collection.(2) Such added penalties and the costs connected with them must in the end mean a proportionate burden on the consumer, either in higher prices, or reduced quality or service.(3) These penalties are a very serious matter and bear most heavily on the smaller industries.You have spent money unnecessarily to discover that the millers and bakers cannot absorb this 16 2-3%.Commonsense should have told you that.Much less can the smaller concerns in the food business.(4) This added 16 2-37 on the cost of wheat must add a proportionate or greater amount to the final cost of staple foods based on wheat.(5) This increased cost of wheat foods must result in an equal reduction in the purchase of other foods such as milk, eges.meat, fruits and vegetables.in the case of Aa larre part of our population.(6) The average family of five uses about 1.000 pounds of wheat foods per year, at prices rancine from six cents to thirty-five cents a pound.Averaged at 12c means an expenditure of $120.00 a year.The imposition of 16 2-37.means an added burden of $20.00 per vear.(7 The reduction of $20.00 per vear per family in the purchase of the more expensive \u201cprotective foods\" necessarily means to some extent loss of health and in some cases loss of life.(8) Reduction of food buying pow- erer of $20 per family means the destruction of a home market for Canadian food products of about $40.000,000 per year.to provide your Board with some $8.000.000.(9) The processing tax with its incidental expenses in bookkeeping.correspondence and bother, adds to the spread between wheat producer and wheat consumer.The opposite should be the aim of your Board.(10) The processing tax is a further discouragement to those manufacturers who might develop new products and new uses and markets for wheat.(11) The increased spread between producer and consumer injures both, (12) Since wheat foods are the most satisfying for the dollar, they are most used, proportionately, by the poorer people.It bears most heavily on the poor.Economists call this a \u201cregressive tax.\u201d The old prophets called such tmposts \u201cgrinding the faces of the poor.\u201d formidable, this happened last week: within 24 hours of the time that a decree had been issued banning all American newspapermen from the country, the ban was lifted when the American Ambassador had paid but one visit to the Foreign Office.The Spanish Government even went so far as to issue a public apology for the decree! Franco is a military man too, and as such, he faces facts.If he was not willing to join the Axis last June when it was terrifyingly triumphant, why should he now?He knows that Hitler has failed in his blitzkrieg on Britain.He knows, too, whose fleet sails through the Straits of Gibraltar unmolested, and whose fleet has not been seen in the Mediterranean for over a year now.Ü Non Skid Spot Pad Trusses Satisfaction Guaranteed SMITH PHARMACY #8 E Main St.MALONE, N.Y.Housewives Everywhere Terms can be arranged - if desired.low cost Agree That \u201cOur Best Flour\u201d Is Best for Baking McDonald & Robb, Limited VALLEYFIELD, - QUE.(13) To serve others, to prepare good things for the use of others, to co-operate with others by exchange of goods and services is a duty.It makes civilization possible.The processing tax like the sales tax places à penalty on a duty.Such an impost is contrary to public policy.(14) The artificial stimulation of business by war activities may partially conceal for a time the effects pointed out above.To neglect or ignore them on that account is to invite chaos when the war is over.Peace may be more terrible than war, if we permit unjust and unwise measures to be established.(15) The expected revenue of $6,- 000,000 per annum Is entirely inadequate for the problem your Board must face, that of a possible accumulation of from 400 to 800 million bushels of wheat to face a hungry and devastated world without goods or money.(16) This is a problem af finance rather than of taxation.A little intelligent financial planning will make the tax quite unnecessary.(17) The problem of using this accumulation of wheat to feed starving Europe after the war should be faced and planned for now.(18) The wheat may be sent to Europe as a gift\u2014which can be made possible\u2014or in exchange for the land, as Joseph did in Egypt forty- two centuries ago.(19) The full use of even 50% of the productive power of Canadians and Canadian resources during the war will make possible such a gift! Board as individuals study this sub- to Europe without hardship.(20) Such unethical and uneconomic measures as the processing tax and the sales tax menace the peace of Canada when peace is restored to Europe.We do not wish peace to prove more terrible than war.Ours is a small industry, like many others, manufacturing a health food and like many others we have invested in it some thousands of dollars and years of work without pro- {fits or salaries.Ours is a packaged proprietary product, of which neither package size nor retail price can be readily changed.The effect.therefore, of the sales tax has been to check the ; development of the business.The processing tax is another burden of the same kind.Every dollar we have paid out in sales tax has reduced our expenditure on advertising from two to four dollars.Money spent in advertising, with a good product, comes ; back, and can be spent over again.Money paid out for sales tax or processing tax brings us no return | whatever.So far as our product is, as we ! belleve.superior to other products on the market as a health food, 30 , far as there is merit in the addition of wheat germ, flax and dulse in | , generous proportions to meet vitamin and mineral needs, the cost of | these uneconomical taxes appears in the failure of many people to learn of our product and to enjoy the health its use might have brought them.Making n good product known is an important part of a manufactur- \u201cer's service.| We strongly urge that your ject and join with other intelligent , citizens in demanding the cancelling of the processing tax at once.Yours for a fair break for children, Arthur Black Farmer Foods Ltd.A.B.Farmer, Pres.A DIME NOW BUYS 4 TIMES AS MANY REAL GUARANTEE Trumps teed (0 \u201contain Hava- | ma filler of the same quality used in cigars sold at much higher peices .tere th Size! an tice ng for one Havana Cigar! are!

P.D.McArthur Mr.P.D.McArthur, of Howick, found an alert and interested audience when on November 15, he revealed a few fundamentals in farm economics to the men\u2019s division of the Ormstown Study Club.The dairy situation in the Chateauguay Valley formed the neuc.eus of Mr.McArthur's talk.As the fluid milk trade does not consume the amount of milk produced, the surplus, in most cases, is made into butter.Unfortunately, however, the world market for butter is already flooded.belief that if it were possible to convert this surplus milk into cheese we would have a happier situation.As dairying in this district became more specialized, milking 365 days became more common and replaced milking in summer only.\u201cBut don't forget,\u201d continued Mr.McArthur, \u2018this latter type of farming has a lot in its favour.The farmer gets his milk crop when it Is easiest to produce.In the fall he has his grain to sell, which may be termed as a cash crop.Compare this with the farmer who milks 365 days.He has no grain for sale, on the contrary he must buy certain concentrates to produce this winter milk.It is little wonder, therefore, why these specialized dairymen should not get slightly better prices for their PROVINCE OF QUEBEC Corporation Township of Godmanchester To the Ratepayers of the Township of Godmanchester interested in the Carr and Rutherford Discharge, Public
