Robt.Waldie, G.8.Walsh, John Leahy, Medard Fortin, Albert Dupuis, Adrian O'Rielly, Keith Curran and Henry Cassidy.An objective board has been erected near the Canadian Bank of Commerce, on Chateauguay Street, which will show the progress of the campaign as it affects Huntingdon Town and Huntingdon County from time to time.It will be interesting to watch the progress made in the campaign and will give people of the County a very good idea of how the sales are going.A specially equipped car made a tour of the district on Tuesday and by means of loudspeakers announced the Victory Loan in both

third received at Victory Loan Headquarters in Huntingdon, and he was asked his opinion as to why they should be purchased.This is his re- piy: You ask me why I bought this Victorye Bond.Well sir, I want to continue living a free man in a free Canada.I mean free from slavery: and now that the claws of the beast that threatened us are being loosened, and it is gradually being pushed back into the pit from which i: came, I want to add my ounce of push to the people who are doing such a fine job to rid the world of this monster.DESERTIONS WORRY NAZI H&GH COMMAND Stockholm \u2014Norweglan quarters reported that the German High Command was openly concerned over the growing number of desertions among its occupation troops in Norway and has issued warnings to local commanders to halt these defections.ployees of $555.which was eartagged once.For some little time the matter of purchasing an X-Ray for the hospital has received much consideration by Doctors McEwen, McCrim- mon and Clouston, the latter having made several trips to Montreal investigating the various features of X-Ray machines offered for sale.To a very considerable extent a community hospital is valued according to the equipment it has placed at the disposal of its dectors.The doctors felt that if the Wetter equipment were bought, it would certainly serve the hospital for a longer period of usefulness, even though it were costing $600 more than an X- Ray that might acceptably serve for the time being.Upon motion of Mr.W.C.Winter and seconded by Mr.D.Faubert, it was decided that the County Hospital invest $3,800 for the purchase of an X-Ray.\"The doctors have also selected other hospital equipment which represents an expenditure of $3000.The repairs to the building are now well advanced, the interior carpentry work being practically completed and likewise that of the electricians, The painters are now able to make favourable progress, and the change noted from day-to-day is encouraging.This week a semi-circular driveway is being built in front of the hospital and a cement sidewalk laid, The management committee is meeting with many difficulties in the way of delays in the purchasing of many materials, but for all of that, hopes are still being maintained for the opening of the hospital, Important Matter Decided At County Hospital Meeting Hospital Governors to Invest Purchase Price of Building in Victory Bonds or Buy Outright\u2014 X-ray Equipment to he Purchased At the meeting of the governôrs of the County Hospital on Wednesday evening, matters that will be of much interest to the general public were given decisions.First it was decided that for the Victory Loan the hospital invest money to the extent of the purchase price of the building, plus that which is entrusted to the Board of Governors as a subscription for a specific purpose such as the donation by Leach Textile Ltd.em- for the furnishing of a private room.Should the Women\u2019s Missionary Society in Toronto wish to accept payment for the property now, less 3%, which would be the equivalent to the interest coming from the purchase of Victory bonds, the Board of Governors would be prepared to complete the purchase of this property at the very near future, so that the hospital will be able to accord this community a valued service during the coming winter.Display of Hospital Contributions Messrs.James E.Barrett, A.A.Lunan and N.F.Manning are constituting a committee of three who are going to look after the creating of a collection of donations in the way of vegetables, fruits canned or preserved jams, jellies and what riot, that may be required for supplying the larder and furnishing of the County Hospital, The display will be made in the recently renovated store building of the late C.H.Lamb.Dbnations may be left at this building on Saturday evening of each week between the \u2018hours of 8 and 9 p.m.People who wish to make contributions are invited to call up any of these men shpuld they wish further information.In Dundee, Mr.Albert Dupuis is to look after the contributions and such are to be left at the home of Mrs Charles Smallman.In Elgin Mayor George Paul is open to receive the contributions for the hospital, and in Hinchinbrooke it is Mr.John 8.Ross.In Godmanchester Mr.Charles Reld will be glad to hear of any contributions which may be forthcoming.Contributions from any or all communities may be brought to this depot in Huntingdon, if such meets with the convenience of the general public.Let's get the ball rolling through making our contribution in kind now.As the contributions increase the display will make it all the more inviting for others to fall in line and lend the cause their de- not on the 1st of November, but in serving and helping

industries to report success in the Fifth Victory Loan campaign, is the firm of Fawcett and Grant.The objective set for this firm was $2,400, on Tuesday evening, their chairman, Mr.J.Fox, reported to The Gleaner that his firm had gone overs the top with bonds purchased to the amount of $4,450.This amount does nut Include the directors or management of the firm, but only the 42 payroll employees, all people earning under $40.00 per week.This works out to an average of almost | $106.00 per employee and almast ; doubles the objective set.This shows \u2018that the employees are anxious to speed the victory and are doing their part to this end.Barn, Stock Lost in Fire Blaze Occurs at H.Welburn Farm, Rock- burn, on Friday On Friday evening the barn on the farm known as the John A.Goldie place, situated half mile south of Rockburn, and occupied by Herbert Welburn, with the season's crop of hay and straw, was totally des- à troyed by fire.Threshing had been .ccmpleted that afternoon about 2.30, after which Mr.Welburn took advantage of the available help to store in the shed attached to the barn, the farm machinery.Fortunately, the milking was done and the cows turned out to pasture before the fire broke out, and it had originated where the freshly threshed straw was stored.Mr.Welburn's young sons, assisted by Harry Johnston, were able to save a team of horses, the double harness ahd a pig.A six months colt and some young pigs were lost in the fire.As soon as the alarm spread, neighbours from far and near gathered to help.Milford Oliver brought his truck to draw water from the near-by brook, and only the heroic efforts of the crowd saved the dwelling house and other buildings from destruction.Fortunately the wind blew the flames away from the other buildings and an earlier shower had dampened the grass and leaves or the fire might have spread far.Among the machinery lost, unfortunately Mr.Hoyer's corn binder was burned.Ormstown W.1.Lends Support to Victory Loan In Chateauguay West The following letter received at headquarters of War Finance Coin- mittee for Chateauguay West, at Ormstown, shows that the Orms- town branch of the W.I.is anxious to do its part in the Fifth Victory Loan.Such support should show that the lending of money to the Government for the war effort is not only a good investment but an urgent, necessity.If everyone will get behind this campaign and see that Victory Bonds.are purchased, it will Speed the Victory.Mr.A, J.McQueston, Joint Unit Organizer Ormstown, Que.Dear Sir: At our Oct.13th meeting, it was moved by Mrs.Moffat, sec.by Mrs.Barrington, that a Resolution be passed, that The Ormstown Branch of Quebec Women's Institutes, give their full support to the Victory Loan.This was passed unanimous- Wishing you every success in

field on Saturday, when @ celebra- \u2018on was held at which Premier Adelard Godbout made a broadcast ver the CBO network for the open- be of the campaign for Quebec.The Premier also officially opened the Council Chamber, which has recently been renovated, and honoured 17 farmers of the Beauharnois district.Hundreds of persons gathered in Victory Square on Farmers\u2019 Day, a3 Saturday was known in ValleyNeld, and listened to the addresses and watched the ceremonies, despite the unfavourable weather conditions.Mayor Louis VI Major, welcomed the Premier and presented the sincere and respectful wishes of the population.The Premier said \u201cIt is a progressive city where the mixing of the two\u2019 races proves once more that the harmonious understanding is a great force for the country, if one knows how to employ it to good use.Valleyfield gives to the country an example of concord and understanding.\u201d Mgr.Paul E.Leger, vicar-general of Valleyfield, In à few words thanked Premier Godbout, In whom he saw a perfect Christian and an ideas parishioner.All members of the Valleyfleld City Council] were present for the ocen- sion of the inauguration of Lhe Council Chambers.Dr.O.E.Caza welcomed the Premier at the Victory Stand in Victory Square, by the Clty Hall, from which point the broadcast was made.He sald, a year ago, Valleyfield received the Hon.J.H.Isley, Minister of Finance.Today, we have the honour of receiving the Prime Minister of the Province of Quebec, the Hon.Adelard Godbout.He referred to the return from overseas of Lt.Col.J.E.Levesque and ended by thanking the Mayors and organizers of the five \u2018committees of the region for their collaboration.Premier Godbout told farmers of the Valleyfield district that the Fifth Victory Loan opening Monday represented a \u201cgreat opportunity for farmers to prepare for the post-war period of reconstruction.\u201d Farmers are prosperous at present, he said, and the province \u201cplaced great hopes\u201d in their response to the loan, The Premier announced a program of improvement for Quebec agriculture, with systematic drainage, levelling and soil improvements planned, and said the government proposed to rebuild Quebec agri culture to make it the keystone of Quebec industry.Returning to a discussion of the Victory Loan, he sald that it was necessary to furnish not only the soldiers for war but also the material with which to equip them and the food with which to feed them.He had no doubt, he added, of the success of Quebec's victory loan campaign.Four times the province had responded to the call gnd gone over its objective, and the people realized that the nged was more urgent than ever now that ships had been sunk \u201cin our very St.Lawrence Gulf.\u201d \u201cOur sons are the living ramparts of our country, and they must be protected by every resource at our disposal,\u201d he sald.\u201cThat is a reason for buying bonds.\u201cThere is a further duty, that of safeguarding a civilization to which we are inevitably attached, for our hard won self-gdvernment would be in danger if we were to cease our vigilance.\u201d The Royal Naval Silver Band, H.- M.C.8.8t.Hyacinthe, gave musical selections throughout the program and these were very much appreciated by the numbers in attendance.The hero of 28 raids over enemy territory, Pilot J.E.R.Pichette, was introduced by Mr.Leon P.Favreau and the speaker was thanked by Mr.Gontrau Saintonge for his fine address in behalf of the Victory Loan.The first application for the Fifth Victory loan campaign in Huntingdon County was received at heac- quarters of the County War Finance Committee, in Huntingdon, and came from Mr.D.J.O'Connor, M.P.P.In the above picture will be seen Victory Loan \\ » Saturday

recently obtained awards in the five year agricultural § competition.Lt.Col.W.G.E.Aird, joint chairman of the National War Finance Committee of Valleyfield, voiced words of appreciation of the way the day had been carried through and also offered words of thanks to the Premier for his attendance and speeches on behalf of the Victory Loan Campaign and the various other functions he had performed that afternoon.Farmers\u2019 Day proved to be an eventful and colorful one for Valley field and will no doubt do much to stimulate interest in the progress of the Fifth Victory Loan in that city.Why 1 Bought Victory Bonds?D.J.O'CONNOR, M.P.P, In an interview with Mr, D.J.O'Connor, M.P.P,, when he made his application for the purchase of Fifth Victory Bonds, he gave as his reasons for buying, the following: I believe Victory Bonds are a good investment not only for myself but for Canada and the war effort.I have been a conscientious supporter of all campaigns to help the war, or sufferers as a result of the war, and I believe everyone should support the Victory Loan Campaigns to their utmost.If we expect Lo beat Hitler we must do everything in our power to see that our fighting men are supplied with the tools to do the Job.The only way for civillans to do this in a place lke Huntingdon County, is to lend our money so that the production can be carried on.In doing this we are helping In many ways as well as helping ourselves.We have only lent our money and after the war we may find that this money will be the means of helping us tide over the tough period of reconstruction, That is what I mean when I say I belleve it is a good investment.T am happy that I can do this much for the war effort and in support of our fighting men, and especially as a backing for the boys who have left Huntingdon County to do their share on the battle front.If the people of Huntingdon County and elsewhere support the Fifth Victory Loan as well as the ones in the past, there should be no difficulty in reaching the objective set.In which case we shall all have done our part in Speeding the Vic- ry.\u201d JAP FLYERS IN BELGIUM New York.\u2014For the first time since the beginning of the

O one can say just how valuable the blood given by the 115 donors at the Blood Donors\u2019 Clinic, on Tuesday, of the past week will be, but there is no doubt that it is a worthwhile contribution to the war effort.Furthermore, the individual must be willing to give this donation and it really is a personal contribution.There is honor attached to these donations and the individual who gives his or her blood can be proud of such a donation.This type of donation is new to most of the people of this district, but the.ice has been broken and no doubt the next clinic will see a large number of donors coming forward.It is interesting to note that two years ago a mere handful of patriots gave their blood, while today these number over 11,000 every week throughout the Dominion.But many more are needed.at least 4,000 more weekly, before the Red Cross can reach the objective requested by the government.While the Red Cross has been busily engaged in recruiting donors the technicians have been developing improved methods for processing the blood into serum.And now the processing is less cumbersome and quicker.New machinery has been built, developed by the ingenuity of Canadian engineers, to reduce the time and manpower required in the manufacture.Recently a new step was instituted to improve the availability of the serum on the battlefield.A box has been invented to carry seven bottles of serum, seven bottles of distilled water, and four administration sets.Thousands of these boxes are being packed and shipped overseas.Through the resourcefulness of the doctors and technicians it is now possible to give blood transfusions at the front line, which means the saving of untold lives among Canadian wounded.When the full story is told of the war uses of Canadian Red Cross Dried Blood Serum it will be the Roll of Honor of lives saved by the medical profession and those who so nobly gave of their blood for the serum.While 150 donors were asked for at the first clinic for civilians held in Huntingdon, on Tuesday.actually 133 volunteered, and 115 persons made the donation.This was a very creditable showing and speaks well for the spirit of the people in this district.While these clinics are being held at different points almost every day.it was the first to be held in Huntingdon.Naturally a little education is necessary before the enrollment will reach anything like the number that is required.It takes people to talk of the experience and explain that donating a little blood is not such a hard thing after all.Large numbers of people are afraid that giving blood will have some ill affect upon them.But when they Tealize that it does not, they will come forward and be willing to donate their blood along with the rest of the donors.It is proposed to hold these clinics at regular intervals and it is hoped that larger enrollments will be the case at each succeeding clinic.The next clinic will be held here in about two months\u2019 time, when the number for enrollment is asked to be 165, and we believe that that number will be forthcoming.Blood is not taken from persons who are not able to give it.the doctors make sure that no harm will come to the person who gives his or her blood.Evidence of this was seen when eight persons were rejected.The reasons for the rejections are not known to us, but it is evident that the persons were not suited to give it, or were in the opinion of the doctors in attendance, unable to give it.Those who did give their blood have suffered no ill effects and were able to carry on at their jobs in a short time after.With this in mind a larger number of donors may be looked for at the next clinic.a 0 a Mr.Churchill has expressed approval of a plan for a \u201cBasic English\u201d language.The trouble with some of the English we\u2019ve heard is that aertain words are spoken too frequently, particularly by youngsters loafing on the corner, 0 0 G The Need is Just as Great, or Greater Will be noticed in this issue of The Gleaner that there are a number of appeals for - people of the district to Buy Victory Bonds.The sponsors of these appeals are convinced of the urgent need to lend money to the government to carry on the war that is fast speeding to victory.They are also conscious of the need to urge the people by every means possible to put their money into Victory Bonds.This newspaper together with other publications throughout the country is desirous of acquainting everyone possible with the fact that to invest in the purchase of the Fath Victory Loan Bonds, means that we, on the home front, are bringing victory that much closer.| We hear people saying every time a Victory Loan campaign 1s underway, that there is a wicked waste in the advertising and posters and other means of publicity that are used.But the intensity of these campaigns demands that extraordinary means be used to produce the desired results in the short time at the ° disposal.\u2018That these means have been successful, is shown by the results obtained in the various campaigns.Another remark often heard is, that this is the fifth loan that has been launched and everyone knows what is expected.It might be surprising just how many people do not understand the need for them to purchase Victory Bonds.If everyone was so conscious of the need,\u201d Victory Bonds would be selling steadily all the time instead of just when a campaign was sponsored.It is the intenseness of the campaigns which brings home to the people the reality that the country is in urgent need of more funds with which the carry on the war.Every means possible is used to reach every possible person and impress upon him or her that they are required to buy Victory Bonds.This is the Fifth Victory Loan Campaign and with the feeling among the people that Victory is just around the corner, it has become much harder to convince them that the need for purchasing Victory Bonds is just as great.Up to the Fourth Victory Loan Hitler's fingers were at our throat\u2014his fingers pressed hard\u2014and we struggled violently to free ourselves.Now we have shaken him off and our fingers are on his throat.If we do not persist in increasing the pressure, he will shake us off and the war will be prolonged, with the danger that war-weariness will dictate a stalemated peace, with every prospect that another generation of our children will have to go through this horror again.Complacency is the biggest hazard in this loan.Every bond that isn't bought is\u2019 a relaxation of the pressure on the Nazi throat.Every bond that is bought increases the pressure.Thus it should be evident of the urgency of the need for everyone to buy as many bonds as possible and not to think that the war is as good as won.As Churchill said on his return to England after the Quebec conference, \u201cThe bloodiest portion\u2014make no mistake about it\u2014the bloodiest portion of this war lies ahead of us\u201d.We can say of our fighting men that their blood, their sweat, must do it.But OUR money! That is the fundamental reason for buying Victory Bonds.We've got to back our boys.They have to have the tools of war.It takes money to provide those tools.Who then, will supply the money if we on the home front do not?There is another reason.Deep in the heart of every member of the United Nations is a deep emotional feeling.For God's sake, we are thinking, let's get this thing over with.Let\u2019s put an end to this bloody carnage.But let's do it in the only way we can bear to think about.Let's win\u2014and do it fast! And so it falls to everyone of us on the winning side to do every mortal thing he can to smash the enemy and \u201cSpeed the Victory\u201d.0 a O It\u2019s strange how many people there are who know how to avoid inflation, but not a depression\u2014or weren\u2019t they around ten years ago?) GC 0 0 Careless Talk ARELESS TALK posters have been seen about us since the early days of the present war.It has been felt that careless talk may result in giving information to fifth columnists, and eventually work to the detriment of our soldiers and our cause.The basic training soldiers receive, tends to inculcate in them the keeping of their lips closed against talking with civilians about the armed services.Here in Huntingdon, it is a generally known fact, that at the moment, the enrollment in the camp is not large and the prospects are that changes are quite likely to be made at Chateauguay Barracks.The offiicals of Chateauguay Barracks are not in a position to give out any information as to the future of the barracks, even If they knew: and we doubt very much if they know anything definite at this moment as to what is going to take place.The officers of the Barracks are always trying to train the men to be prudent and not talk loosely with civilians and civilians can aid the officers and men of Chateauguay Barracks if they will kindly refrain from pumping questions at the soldiers.The soldiers naturally want to be polite and cordial with the public, but if they talk about army matters they are merely breaking down the efforts being put forth by their officers in giving these men their basic training.a 0 oO The Germans have \u201crescued\u201d Mussolini from Italy.After a little experience with the Gestapo in their own land, Il Duce will probably wish he were back in the hands of the men he had trained himself, because they were only beginners at the game.a O a Post war Aviation UCH is being heard at this time about the prospects for aviation after the war.An airpower conference has been going on in London, England, with a view to making a plan concerning international air lines after the war.In recent newspaper articles it was mentioned that a plane is being built in Great Britain which when completed, will be capable of carrying 150 passengers with a cruising speed of over 200 miles per hour.This plane will ply between this side of the Atlantic and Great Britain, the fare per passenger it is said will be $200.The crossing is expected to take 15 hours.For firms and executives conducting an international business, these is no doubt whatever that the airplane will be the future means of transportation.It is fast and when business is concerned and competition is keen, customers must be interviewed in a minimum of time.In olden days much business was lost on account of the time required to transact the business before the actual order was started or filled.With the war proving the adaptability of the airplane to commercial enterprise and the rapid strides made in using the plane for long distance flights, ther eis a great scope for commercial aviation after the war.Passenger travel may not be on such a large scale for a few years, because of the rate for each passenger, but as it becomes cheaper and more common, its usé will increase.Canada will be in a position to stand high in the world's aviation and will have available a highly trained and skilled personnel to handle \u2014 Br \u2014 CHATEAUGUAY, i BEAUHARNOIS 7 and HUNTINGDON | Chronology Eo COUNTIES ; From Manuscripts of Y rhe Late ROBERT SELLAR SOME RECOLLECTIONS OF OLD Mrs.Charles Lanktree of Eigir, who died suddenly on the 1st inst., of pneumonia, was not only an old resident of the district, having been born near the union of the English river and the Chateauguay in 1828, but was the grand-daughter of Nahum Baker, who came to the Cha- teauguay in 1802.Mrs.Lanktree was no ordinary woman and was possessed of strong individuality of character, She was a keen observer and had a most retentive memory, \u2018Iso that she recollected not only what she saw and heard herself when young, but what her grandmother, who had seer: the wilderness of the Chateauguay at the beginning of the century, told her.From her reminiscences we select two passages.The first relates to her father's prowess as a hunter: My father (George Baker) was a hunter in every sense\u2014he knew the woods like a book and his chief pleasure was in roaming them.He told me the winter before he died that he had shot 500 deer on the Cha- teauguay and English rivers.I remember of his killing 5 bears.The first was on a small lot above our homestead, used for pasturing calves.Word was brought that one had been killed and father went up and saw it was the work of a bear.He set a trap and next day got the message a bear was in it.Taking his doubled barreled gun to shoot it he set off, but on arriving found it was a cub that had been caught.Taking up a rail he struck the animal until it cried with pain, in order to bring the mother.All at once she came rushing towards him, and he had barely time to catch up his gun and present it.She was so near when he fired, that the wadding went into her.She keeled over at once, greatly to father\u2019s relief, for he had only the other charge, not having taken ammunition.While out seeking for honey, he came upon a tree the sides of which were scratched with claws, Knowing they indicated a bear, he waited his chance and shot it.His boldest feat was on the St.Louis, where he had sold a lot, reserving part of the cedars.Going to chop some, on crossing a large log he recognized by its sound that it was hollow and had an inmate, Seizing his axe he began to cut it in two, when a bear leaped out.Altho he had no gun, just his axe, he followed, and the beast being weak from its winter's sleep, it grew tired as he tracked it unrelentingly for hours.Finally he came up with it as it was crossing a log, when he struck it with his axe on the back.The beast stood up, enraged, and awaited his assault.Knowing a bear's forepaws are equal to hands in seizing or striking aside, he did not think it prudent to advance with the axe, but \u2018paused to cut a long sapling and pointed it.Approaching, he thrust is into the open mouth of the beast, when teeth and jaws seized it.While so engaged, he gave it a stunning blow on the head with the axe.Once, when sent to get some early potatoes from a bit of bruler land, newly brought in, I found a bear, scratching up the potatoes.I shrieked and ran home.The bear was as much frightened as I was and scampered off.Father tracked it, but had to give up, owing to darkness setting in.Next day, he found it had got sway.Seeing deer were eating a field of peas, he hid in a tree near thespot, and in one night shot 5.I \u2018remember his bringing home honey- {comb enough to yield 16 gallons of | .ir a Me ?k Or A MESSAGE TO ADVERTISER (Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville Ont.) In another column in this issue is a story of what an executive of a Toronto manufacturing concern, doing a world wide business, found out when he took two weeks\u2019 holidays in rural Ontario.Two things stand vu\u2019 with smashing clarity.Frist, that 60 per cent of farm people read the .local weekly; second, that \u201cany ad- | vertiser wishing to reach the grea.- est number of farm people must use the local paper.\u201d He\u2019 used the word \u201cMUST\u201d.Isn't it obvious?Next in order are farm journals, 51 per cent or one; 20 per cent for the next.But we have found that generally, farmers take two and often three farm papers so that these \u2018percentages cannot be added together.Over it all is this: \u201cFarmers are at mail boxes when the local weekly comes.\u201d That fact establishes \u201creader interest.\u201d So in those two paragraphs is the whole story.Big dailies and national magazines scale down-to 5 per cent and 3 per cent respectively.It is time these facts

are out to been by-passing the weeklies in \u2018many important instances.That means they ignore the tremendous farm buying power.Sixty-seven per \u2018cent of rural Canada represents over 3,000,000-people, according to the Canada Year Book.Why then treat rural Canadians as \u201cpoor relations\u201d not entitled to know what is being offered and recommended?What City Executive Learns While Riding With Rural Mailman A fine service was recently rendered to national advertisers, governments, country-town merchants, the public generally, and to advertising agencies in particular, when an executive of a large manufacturing firm in Toronto took a holiday in the country and reported his findings on how country people get their news.And where they read their news is precisely where they look at the advertisements, both national and local.Our information in the malter comes from \u201cMarketing\u201d, a weekly newspaper for Canadian advertisers and sales executives, ably edited by John Loye, ably assisted by Miss Margaret Brown as business manager and published in Toronto by W.A.Lydiatt.Weekly editors will be particularly interested in the report.The \u201cad\u201d man pitched in stooking grain and after getting \u201ca bunch of aching muscles\u201d he toured the rural routes with the mail man and got an eye-opener on what rural people in Ontario actually read.Here are some extracts of his report: \u201cJudging by this section of the «rural community I would say that any advertiser who wished to reach the greatest number of farm readers must use the local paper.\u201d And he goes on to tell how they come down to the mail boxes to meet the maii man on the day the weekly paper is delivered.Then he quotes figures on circulations actually obtained on his two weeks\u2019 visit.Here they are: 67 per cent of boxes received the local weekly; 51 per cent received a farm paper; 20 per cent received a second farm paper; .13 per cent received a small city paper; 5 per cent received big city dailies: 3 per cent received one national magazine.\u2018 He found, too, that many farm homes are not served by radio and \u2018The weeklies have been lauded by prime ministers and important per- sunages as o1 vital importance in the life of Canada, and yet we find many vital wartime messages to rural Can- aaa appearing in farm journals and not in weeklies; particularly over the signatures of the minister of agriculture and minister of labour.For instance, as of September 23, the minister of labour has a page and a quarter \u201cad\u201d in a farm journal, \u201cA Message to Men Who Work On Farms\u201d and not a line in the weeklies.Can it be that he is not informed about the 67 per cent?Does he not wish to reach all the farmers?The whole thing ddesn\u2019t add up to common sense.There are, of course, the enlightened exceptions which recognize rural people as of high importance.The insurance companies, the banks, and the public services Now that we are in the throes of war and are soon to come to the days such as hydro and telephone, and = few enlightened industrialists, use the weeklies freely to state their services.to express themselves in this matter and come to a showdown in behalf leading of themselves and their readers.rer SAVING FUEL BILLS To penny-pinch fuel bills, choose a vegetable to accompany the roast that will oven-cook along with it.Say beets in casserole, baked onions or squash, or escalloped tomatoes.Wednesday, October 20th, 1943 | WEEK AT OTTAWA As the capital is the nerve centre of the Fifth Victory Loan campaigr, the thoughts of everybody here are concentrated on the progress of this essential element of victory.With the ground so fully covered by leaders in Canada's war effort, little need be added.What has been placed before the Canadian people in the stern reality that in spite of the magnificent and inspiring successes in Russia and in the air war in Italy, it.would be foolhardy to believe that Germany's power is broken.The fighting strength of Japan, a resourceful and dangerous enemy is still at its height.Allied advances are confined to a fringe of the islands of the South Pacific.The U- boats warfare on the Atlantic has been intensified by new devices and heavier armament that have brought the submarines to the surface to challenge our aircraft.The Canadian as well as the British and American part in the struggle is approaching not receding from its most acute stage.Any slackening in the will to maintain our fighting power at 1ts height will retard the hour of victory.The acceptance by this country of the Italians as co-belligerents but not as members of the United Nations, is considered here as a rational course to take in the deadly struggle.Italy is not relieved of her position as a defeated enemy which has surrended unconditionally to the allies, arid none of the rights of the nations, small or great who have fought against her is jeopardized.She will not come under the terms of our Mutual Aid arrangements or the Lease Lend of the United States.It is difficult to visualize the confused feelings of allied troops who have been fighting Italians in North Afrcs, Sicily and Italy, now that Italy ls on our side.The same thing applies to Jugoslavia where a division of Italians has joined the ranks of thie army fighting so stubbornly for independence, and on our Side, and the moral effect of this on its former Axis partners must be great.An effort will be made to increase ® the export price of bacon, which now stands at $21.75 for Grade A.It is not of course known whether this effort will be successful.It is recognised that in supplying 85 per cent of the British bacon ration, the farmers of Canada have been performing an essential war work, the importance of which cannot be overestimated.It looks now as if the greatly increased marketings in the autumn will bring deliveries much closer to the agreed 675,000,000 lbs.than appeared at all likely a few weeks ago.The difficulties that have had to be overcome through labour shortage and in Eastern Canada through the feed grain situation have been acute, There is a ceiling on feed grain prices but even with the subsidies to encourage shipments from Western Canada, transport troubles have been great.An anxiety felt by farmers in the East is the effect of the $1.25 wheat on the price of lower grades used for feeding.It isn't probable that this country wiil be able to increase for next year the amount of bacon contracted for in this year, but may be about the same, as the British now look to Canada as the main source of supply for its rationed needs.Selective Service officials have stated that they are extremely anxious that as many farm workers as possible not essential to carrying on farm work in the off-season should take jobs in other essential industries.Industries such as logging and pulpwood cutting, coal and base metal mining, railway maintenance, and fish and (Continued on page 8) Leduc & Prieur LTEE DEPARTMENTAL STORE Specials.Ready-to-Wear Garments for Ladies and Gentlemen.Tailoring, Dressmaking andMillinery.VALLEYFIELD hE many

neither can see the other they can communicate.Every cockroach is equipped with feelers which are really antennae.By waving these back and forth the insect sends out a flash that has a wave length of half an inch, The\u2019 same antennae can also receive the message sent in reply.- Even the mosquito is believed to possess radio equipment.His feelers are covered with hairs, each having a separate tone like a piano or organ.By the tones, the mosquito can send a message and receive a reply.That buzzing which warns us of his presence is the sound of his broadcasting station.When you slap one you destroy one of the most ingenious of all radio sets.Spiders are believed to possess wireless apparatus.At any rate it has been found that nothing will make a spider any angrier than to strike a tuning fork near him.The sound probably interrupts his broadcast.Many insects have their radio sets in queer places.The moth has his in his stomach; the grasshopper has a hole in his leg below the knee through which he receives his messages.The common housefly has a set of knobs on his body which act as receivers for messages.Herdman Farm Notes Good Holstein cattle are still in heavy demand, as was

The sight of the nicest little garter snake I ever saw was enough to make me quail, and I am no St.Paul, (see Acts 28) nor yet a St.Cecilia, with music's charms.$2,500!
