10.Delegations from all parts of English speaking Quebec will meet for the day to confer on important issues confronting agriculture.A resolutions committee under the chairmanship of Wyman MacKeck- nie, of Quyon, has been working for several weeks in cooperation with the Farm Forum secretaries.The topics to receive special attention are: soldier resettlement, the CBC, maple products, rural health, subsidies and price floors.The important role the Quebec Council of Farm Forums is now playing as an organization representing the interests of English speaking farmers, is demonstrated by the fact that the Quebec Minister of Agriculture and the President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture have accepted invitations to attend the conference.The Hon.Adelard Godbout, premier and Minister of Agriculture for Quebec, in keeping with a lively interest he has shown in Farm Forums since their beginning, is to be the guest of the Farm Forums at a luncheon in the College Dining

displays was held here when the 32nd annual inspection of the Huntingdon Academy Cadet Corps took place on Tuesday, May 30.The inspecting officer was Captain B.Taylor, A/D., C.0., M.D.No.4.The ceremonial feature of the inspection took place on the parade grounds of Chateauguay Barracks, through the kind permission of the Officer Commanding, Lt.-Col.F.H.Smith.The routine of this feature was as follows: After the cadets were properly formed up, they marched past in column of route; then in close column.Following the march past, before Capt.Taylor, who took the salute, the Cadets advanced in revised order to present arms.During these activities the Cadet Band played various selections.Following this ceremony, the Cadets marched to Prince Arthur Square where they staged several interesting displays featuring: Precision drill, anti-gas precaution, signalling, first aid, knots, etc.The Cadet Band, seated in the Bandstand in the park, gave a short concert of varied selections, At the conciusion of the display, Captain Taylor addressed the whole school.He gave a most inspiring address in a few well-chosen words, complimenting the Cadets on their work and throwing out a challenge for continuous effort in order to develop a fine type of citizenship.Medals were presented to the following Cadets by Captain Taylor, P.O.Joe Carr (a former O.C.of the Corps) and Mr.Ruddock, Ohair- man of the School Board: Cadet C.- SM.Jack Tully, efficiency medal; Cadet QM.S.Paul Patterson, efficiency medal; Cadet Brian Saville, marksmanship; Cadet Glen Hamilton, marksmanship.Parents and friends who attended, were well repaid for their presence at the inspection, in seeing a real fine display put on by these boys.Much credit is due the officers and Cadets and particularly to their thoroughly efficient OC, Cadet- Major Donald McNair.An incident, which started out as fun, ended in a serious, almost tragic, accident on Saturday afternoon.Mr.and Mrs.Howard Blair were starting on their wedding trip, escorted by a number of cars, as they neared Winter's Corners, on the Ormstown-Franklin highway, Howard noticed the engine was overheated so stopped the car and got out to remove some of the usual decorations, which he knew were causing the trouble.As he closed the door of his car, he was struck in the back by the handle of the door of one of the other cars behind him, Len was trying to get ahead of He was thrown down and knocked unconscious.Dr.Stalker was called and had the injured man hurried to the Barrie Hospital, where he regained consciousness.He had an ugly gash on his forehead, which caused him considerable pain, and his left leg was broken halfway between the ankle and the knee; one bone being badly splintered and the other a clean break.Sincere sympathy is felt by the many friends of the unfortunate couple, who had such an unhappy ending to their wedding day.Howard's condition is such that he will be unable to leave the hospital for weeks, and then it may be some time before he will be able to resume his usual work.K.of C.May Have Council In Huntingdon Over 100 Members Recruited in Past Months More than one hundred members of the Knights of Columbus from Huntingdon, Ormstown and vicinity were at the ceremony held at the Council 1180 in Valleyfield, Sunday, May 28.Many candidates from these towns took their first, second and third degrees.It is expected that Huntingdon may have a council of its own this year.The Knights of Huntingdon are doing everything possible with this end in view.In less than two months more than sixty citizens were initiated Knights and now there are more than one hundred active members.Though the results are encouraging, the members of the recruiting committee are still working to increase the number of Knights in this town.The committee under the chairmanship of Dr.J.E.Caza and Mr.J.H.Prevost chairman of the recruiting committee, Henry Robert, secretary, and others, say that they are looking forward to the establishment of a council in Huntingdon.Ormstown has made great progress the past few months.There are in that locality many Knights late and recent, who are cooperating with the committee of Huntingdon, in the formation of a council.Father T.Delage, of Ormstown, and Father A.Pigeon, of Huntingdon, are following the activities of the Knights in their respective localities.A meeting will be held shortly in Ormstown, and all Knights are invited.The meeting will take place in the Parish Hall.Union Contract Signed With Valley Dyeing And Finishing Co.From headquarters of the United Textile Workers of America, it is announced that a contract has just been signed between the Union and the Valley Dyeing and Finishing Company, in Valleyfield.In July 1943, the employees of the plant organized into the International Union and obtained the following conditions: 1.General increase in wages; 2.Time and a half for overtime; 3.One week's vacation with pay.These conditions were ratified by the Regional War Labour Board of Quebec, on a joint request of the Company and Union.Recently, the employees expressed the desire to have a contract and negotiations were reopened with the Company to this end, by Mr.R.Kent Rowley, Canadian Representative of the Union.Last week, negotiations were concluded and the contract signed in the course of a meeting between the Union Shop Committee together with Mr.Rowley and Mr.Yenni, manager of the company.The contract, signed for a year, guarantees the following conditions: 1.Recognition of the Union as sole bargaining agency; 2.Grievance Committee for the settlement of workers\u2019 complaints; 3.Observance of legal and religious holidays; 4.Guarantee on wages, overtime and holidays with pay, obtained in 1943, with privilege of obtaining individual adjustments, discussed between the Company and Union.Miss Madeleine Parent, Organizer for the Union, declared that the shop is almost 100% Union, due to the work of Romeo Lajeunesse, Shop Chairman, and of the members of his Union Shop Committee.She added that the Company, over the past year, has cooperated in the innovation of a new ventilation system, of a dining room and smoking, and in improvements in the sanitary facilities of the plant.\u201cOur relations with the Company are of the best\u201d said Miss Parent, \u201cand in return for understanding of our rights and needs, our Union members will cooperate with the Company for the best possible production at the Valley Dyeing and Finishing.\u201d WAR ON MOSQUITO Nigeria\u2014(CP)~\u2014The virtual defeat of yellow fever in West Africa is expected as a result of the incessant battle which West Africa wages against the mosquito.Niagara Falls, Ont., was the city where the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association, (Ontario-Que- bec Division) held its annual convention.The General Brock Hotel made an ideal convention hotel for the 155 newspapers registered.Many of the editors were accompanied by their wives, thereby swelling the party to nearly 250 people.The wartime conference divided its time largely to two thoughts, one being, that of national and provincial legislation matters and war effort publicity.The other subjects that were to the foremost dealt with national advertising, agency commissions and the weekly press.Three addresses were heard from prominent public men viz: Russell T.Kelly, Hamilton, Ont.; John Bracken, Prog.-Cons.National Leader and Louis Blake Duff, Welland, ont.The address of Mr.Bracken, while quite good, was just not quite as informative as the pressmen expected to hear.Of the three addresses heard there was more meat and substance in that delivered by Mr.Kelly.Mr.Kelly's address and that of Mr.Duff were as two chapters, and might quite easily have been given in succession to one another.Their addresses dealt largely with post war.Surveys were made in Dundas, Ont.to see just what would be the expected shuffle of its populace when the war was over.How those people would spend their money when it was possible to acquire commodities now nonprocurable.What percentage of soldiers would re-establish themselves in their home town.How many firms would re-engage servicemen, etc.64 farms were surveyed by the Women's Institutes, and taking these farms as average farms of Wellington County, it was gathered what might be anticipated in the way of sales to farmers or what they would do to further extend their farm operations.From this statistical survey Mr.Kelly formulated his thought provoking address.He sent the editors home with grist of information that will be the basis of many an editorial that will be written in the weeks to come.Louis Blake Duff is noted as Canada's Number One after-dinner speaker.Blessed with an abundance of humor, he also had a message of sane thought for his listeners along post-war matters.Mr.Kelly and Mr.Duff both proclaimed the farmer was the one man who must prosper, if Canada is to forge ahead.It is not a case of the industrialist being busy in order to keep the produce prices up through their buying power, but it is a case of the farmer being well remuncrat- ed, thereby keeping the industrialist busy.John Bracken based his trend of thoughts along the lines that it is not a new religion, but a re-state- ment of the old religion, in the basic language that the man in the street understands.He said he interpreted that as meaning \u201ca job for every man, fair pay for every man, equity for farmers, fair treatment for enterprise, opportunity for youth, equality for women, security for the aged, an expanding economy for all \u2014a world of peace for all.C.B.Smith, Creemore, Ont., was named president of this Weekly Newspaper Association of Ontario and Quebec weekly publishers.John A.Marsh, Amherstburg, Ont.,, was the retiring president.Robert Giles.Lachute, was re-elected secretary- treasurer.Mr.J.A.MacLaren, Barrie, Ont., who for twenty-five years has been an official of the Canadian Weekiy Newspapers Association, was presented with an oil painting.Mr, MacLaren and his \u201cBarrie Examin- Convention at Niagara Falls Huntingdon Gleaner Shares in Trophy For Best Weekly Newspaper\u2014Towns of Less Than 4,500 er\u201d, are known from coast-to-coast ts an excellent personage filled with progressive thought and ability, whilst his \u201cExaminer\u201d has on a great many occasions been judged Canada\u2019s outstanding Weekly Newspaper.The Pearce Memorial Trophy for best editorial page was awarded Eddie Johnston, Fort Erie \u201cTimes Review.\u201d The E.PF.Stephenson Memorial Trophy for best weekly newspaper published in towns of less than 4500 people was awarded jointly to St.Mary's Journal, Argus; Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Ont.The Huntingdon Gleaner, Huntingdon, and Observer, Drydon, Ont.The Stouffville Tribune was awarded the Joseph T.Clark Memorial trophy for best all-round newspaper published in a town of less than 1,500 population.The General Brock Hotel overlooking the beauties of Niagara Falls, was the convention hotel.The hotel is well appointed as well as ideally located.From its beautiful Rainbow Dining room on the 10th floor, diners from every table within the room can gain a beautiful panoramic view of the Canadian and American falis.The Niagara Parks Commission has created one of the finest parks in North America.At this season of the year.the oleander trees are in full bloom, likewise the azallas and many other shrubs.Countless beds of tulips, and either light blue or yellow pansies, were seen in every direction.The fact that Niagara has hud dry weather has not affected growth in this park, as the mist from the falls makes it always damp.No matter how hot the day may be.if one wishes to cuol off, all they have to do is to wend their way into the park and pick out a strategic spot where a current of fresh afr circulates from the falls, and there it will be refreshingly cool.Facts About the Niagara River And Falls Length of River 35 miles Length of Horseshoe Falls 2,600 ft.Length of American Falls 1,000 ft.Height of Horseshoe Falls 162 ft.Height of American Falls 167 ft.Depth of Water at Foot of Horseshoe Falls 190 ft.Total Depth of Gorge 350 ft.Depth of Whirlpool 125 ft.Flow (gallons per minute): Horseshoe Falls 114,000,000; American Falls 6,000,000.Potential Horse Power (both Cataracts) 5,000,000.\u2018The elevation of Lake Erie is 572 Îeets above sea level, and that of Lake Ontario 246 feet, resulting in a fall of 326 feet throughout the course of the Niagara River in a length of about 35 miles.When at Niagara it was our good fortune to have a drive through the orchard section as well as what might be seen from the Canadian National Railway.The prospects of a big peach crop is most promising.The trees carried a lot of bloom this year and the growers are happy.Their worry will be about pickers.Vineyards are increasing in acreage cach year and from all appearances they also will have good crops in 1944.The planting of green vegetable crops was well advanced, although Sunday, May 28, saw many farmers planting and tractors operating.When we saw that sight, we were wondering if we were really in Ontario.Niagara has not the 'arge apple orchards that one might naturally expect; the apple orchards are located nearer Hamilton and Toronto.The apple orchards had plenty of bloom, but like our local orchardists they had not then determined as to whether the frost was sufficient to affect the 1944 crop.FOUR GENERATIONS Settlement.home to celebréfe his birthday.Mark Walsh, his son Alex, grandson Carl Chester, taken at Mr.Walsh's home near St.Anicet, on his 88th birthday.The aged gentleman,

report, $129,000 has been appropriated for this road work.Fruit Outlook Good in Que.And Ontario Crops Generally Expected to be as Good or Better Than 1943 By The Canadian Press Quebec and Ontario appear headed for a good fruit-producing summer.Orchards in general have wintered well and with a few exceptions crops are expected to be equal to or ahead of last year.Ontario peaches and cherries which took a beating from poor spring conditions in 1843 are in far better shape this year while Quebec late apples\u2014that province's main fruit crop-\u2014may top the 1,000,000-bushel mark compared to 911,000 last year.Quebec's early apples, however, fared badly this year and prospects are for a crop inferior to 1943 because of frost damage during the flowering season and atrong winds which dried the flower pollen.The apple situation in western Ontario is good in all districts while in eastern Ontario an average crop 1s expected.Cumulative effects of 1942-43 injury are expected to cause more than normal mortality among peach and cherry trees in the Niagara and Norfolk districts but even at that crops are expected to be greatly improved over last year.Replacement planting of tender fruit trees previously killed has been carried out to a greater extent than was earller anticipated.Ontario's pear crop generally should be excellent in all districts, grapes range from average to excellent while an above-average plum crop is expected.Eastern Ontario expects a below average strawberry crop because uncovered patches suffered considerably from winter injury while In western Ontario the prospect is for a crop 90 per cent of 1943's production.An average raspberry crop is expected.Dundee\u2019s Grand Old Lady Observes 91st Birthday Mrs.Joseph Smallman, grand old lady of Dundee, observed her 91st birthday anniversary on Tuesday, May 30th.To mark the occasion she got up in a chair for awhile.Guests during the day were, Rev.Mr.and Mrs.Lindley and the latter's mother of Valleyfleld, and Mrs.Small- man's daughter, Mrs.Eugene E.De- Gowin of Fort Covington.Dinner was served at night.Mrs.Smallman was remembered generously with flowers, presents and greeting cards by friends who in consideration of her frail health did not call at her home as was their custom in past years.Special Joint Service At St.John's Church On Friday Evening A special service of prayer and meditation for all those taking ?| part in the invasion of Europe as well as for all others in the forces at home and abroad, has been arranged to take place at 8t.John's Anglican Church, on Friday

and special time for prayers wag announced to tdke place at this time.All are welcome to attend this service and it is hoped to make it an occasion of intercession and hope for all who have relatives serving with the armed forces, especially those who may be taking pert in the invasion.GRADUATES FROM CATHERINE BOOTH HOSPITAL Among those presented with diplomas at Friday night's graduating exercises at the Catherine Booth mothers\u2019 Hospital, Montreal, was Miss Betty Taylor, of Ormstown, Que.The 12% miles of Highway No, 3 Huntingdonians turned out force to greet the C.W.A.C.Pipe and Military Bands when they visited Huntingdon, on Friday.That they received full reward for their attendance, there cannot be any doubt.Both banda put on a splendid performance both in the afternoon at Chateauguay Barracks, and in the evening at the Bandstand, at Prince Arthur Square.The concert in the afternoon was fairly well attended by civilians and quite a number of the personnel of the barracks.It was held in the Drill Hall, as the threat of rain seemed likely to spoil it being held on the Parade Ground, as originally intended.It was able to be viewed much better at the Drill Hall, as cverything took place right in front of the audience.The members of the Brass Band were seated upon the stage, while the Pipe Band performed on the floor of the Drill Hall, in front of the stage.Many well known numbers were played by the brass section and some novelty numbers were also introduced.Ome of these consisted of imitations of the various ways different bands played, for instance there was the minstrel band with its blnre and fast music; the new band practicing with the instruments ull out of tune; there was one number where certain members roae from their seats and sunt down again ns the notes rose and fell; then in conclusion there was the circus band, with all its noise.All numbers by this band were exceptionally well rendered and enjoyed.The Pipe Band was the one that really stole the show however, maybe because it appealed to the many Scotch people who form n large part of Huntingdon nnd district.The skirl of the pipes does something Lo à person that no other music seems to do, even though there are some who profess great dislike of this type of music.The girls of the CW.AC.Pipe Band were able to handle their instruments in a way calculated to win the heart of anyone.The drums were in aplendid time and the girls marched back and forth in great precision in the drills that accompanied the music.Noticeable among the many who attended the afternoon and evening performance of the bands were the Macfarlane Brothers, who have never been known to miss a performance In which the bagpipes have figured.They are now getting on in yeurs, but could not resist the urge to attend the event.They were cer- C.W.A.C.Bands on Friday Pipe Band Wins Hearts of Many Huntingdonians \u2014Both Bands Give Fine Performance in| Pipe Band and did not miss one moment of it.\u2018The afternoon performance lasted for about one hour.In the evening a performance was staged at Prince Arthur Square, with the Brass Band in the bandstand and the Pipe Band marching along that part of Dal- housie Street in front of the bandstand.A really good sized gathering of civilians was present at the evening performance and were kept quite busy listening to both bands which alternated their music.Much the same programme was followed in the evening as the afternoon and again the Pipe Band stole the show.Many were the remarks heard as to the fine way the girls conducted themselves and the way they played their instruments.In one number of the Pipe Band, two of the members did a Highland Dance which brought forth much applause and started many a foot tapping and swaying.In another number the girls gave a yell, which often accompanies the playing of Scottish music.At the close of the programme, Mayor W.E.8.McNalr, said how much the people of Huntingdon enjoyed having the two bands play for them and only hoped that the stay could have been longer.He called upon all to give the sign of thelr appreciation in a way that he knew they could.He also introduced Lt.Svarich, Brass Bandmaster and Pipe Major Grant leader of the Pipe Band, who took a salute from the gathering.\u2018Thanks were also expressed to Capt.Morin, for arranging for Huntingdon to be included in the tour, and to Lt.-Col.F.H, Smith, OC, Chateauguay Barracks for his kind asstatance and co-opera- tion.The Mayor stated that 5,000 recrults were wanted for the CW.- A.C.\u2026, and while they might not all get into the band, they were urgently needed na typists and so forth, It was a wonderful opportunity for any girl to acquire a first class training with good clothes, meals, recreation, and pay.Col.F.H.Smith, thanked the members of the bands and their officers for the fine entertalnment they hand given and hoped the next time they came they would bring their bathing suits.The girls cheered this remark, as the day had been very hot and they worked quite hard.A dlp In one of the swimming pools at the barracks or at the lake would have been very pleasant indeed.After the conclusion of the concert in the evening, the members of the C.W.AC.some 75 in number were entertained at the Soldiers\u2019 tainly enjoying the playing of the Poor Milk Steps to be Taken to | Traffic Regulations Huntingdon Town Councll met on Monday evening, at the County Building, with all members present and mayor McNair presiding.The minutes of the meetings held in May were read and passed; bills as read were ordered paid.The Council decided that Rene Rousselle should be paid a sum of $20.00 per month for his services, retroactive to May 1st, 1944.The milk reports were read and caused considerable discussion on account of the very high bacterial content of milk delivered in Hunt- ingdon, with the exception of that sold by Ralph Goodfellow.The latter had a very good report.It was felt that as milk is a food and can have dangerous results if not properly handled, that something should be done to take care of the situation.The reports submitted during the past few months on the milk delivered in Huntingdon, have been far from good or even fair, and it is thought that now is the time to act, before something serious develops.Even the pasteurized milk is not all that could be desired and contains a high bacterial content.The matter was left in the hands of the Mayor to interview a suitable person to make a round of the dairies supplying milk to the Town of Hunt- ingdon and see what remedial measures can be taken to improve the situation.A letter was received from Miss Flora Messier, regarding a fall she had on Wellington Street, through which she injured both her knees and is under the doctor's care.The Council decided that a letter should be sent asking for more particulars of the accident.Mr.Victor Leduc applied for a permit to build a house and barn on lots 285 and 286 situated at the northerly end of Chateauguay B8t., near where the town sewer empties Into the river.The Council decided this should be investigated before granting a permit, on account of the sewer and the rights of the town, Mr.Russell Clyde, on behalf of his father, and Mr.Charles Reid came before the Council and intimated their willingness to give the town a strip of land from their property for the purposes of making a street on the west side of the N.Y.C.tracks.Due to the fact that negotiations are now going on regarding this part of town and that full reports have not yet been received from the engineer, the matter was left for the time being.Both Mr.Clyde and Mr.Reid were thanked for their offer and told they would receive word as soon as the

on the Valleyfleld-Coteau Bridge, was read, asking the Huntingdon Coun- cll to adopt the resolution contained in the letter.The Council decided to do this.It was decided to order a list of articles for the Fire Dept, same to be sent at the discretion of the Secretary, as funds are available.A discussion took place on the breaking of the law by certain car drivers In the Town of Huntingdon, and !t was decided that the time has come when action must be taken against the offenders.It was accordingly decided that an advertisement in the form of a warning should be Inserted in The Gleaner, after which time all offenders would be punished according to law.During the discussion it was brought out that many car drivers are making a speed track of Prince Street, Ignoring stop signs and parking laws and making unnecessary noise with horns, etc.A clieck on the speed, with which some car drivers drive through and around town is to be made and appropriate action will be taken against all offenders.A complaint was made regarding the lower bridge, as a child almost rolled under the lower railing into the river.The Road Committee was asked to look Into the matter and remedy it.The suggestion was made that some thought should be given to annexing to the Town of the property in the north end of town, recently taken over by Mr.J.A.Langevin.It was intimated that Mr.Langevin was willing for the town to annex this property and make it part of the corporation of the town.Some Councillors present thought that development should be done in parts already within the town limits, before annexing any other portions.The possibility of revenue to the town was pointed out and that it would not cost very much to annex the land in question.Already some twelve lots had been sold for building purposes and if this land was taken into the town, taxes from these would go to the town.Nothing definite was decided on the matter.In connection with the development of other parts mentioned, it was pointed out that work was already proceeding along lines which would take care of these parts.pore meeting adjourned until June TITO ORDERS DRIVE, \u2018LAST BLOW\u2019 NEAR LONDON-

look at it.Different to the last war, when many young men were taken from school and college and never again took up their education, in this war all ways and means to continue education have been devised.Persons in the armed forces are kept abreast of the happenings in the world around them and back home.Newspapers have even started publication close to the Front Line, as \u201cThe Maple Leaf\u201d in Italy, so as to keep the troops acquainted with what is going on.Educational facilities have been sent to prisoners of war so that their time may not be wasted while they are awaiting return to their native soil.There is a continuous urge to supply armed forces personnel with books and magazines and all types of literature, so that they may be kept in touch with what is going on outside of warfare routine.In relation to this latter trend, a new booklet has just been published especially for the members of the forces overseas.It is a small sized publication titled \u201cCanada Digest\u201d and could easily be carried in the pocket.Its contents are condensed articles by special writers and from prominent magazines published in Canada and the United States.Some of the articles are printed in the French language so as to make it as interesting as possible for all who may wish to read it.The articles are of a type which should have the widest appeal, are instructive, educational and entertaining.The type of article is very similar to that carried in the \u201cReaders\u2019 Digest\u201d and other such magazines.Associated as Editor, with \u201cCanada Digest\u201d is one who is well-known to the readers of The Gleaner, and who has written many articles for The Gleaner.He is Donald C.MacDonald, who left the staff of the Montreal Gazette to join the Navy over two years ago.His home is on the Tullochgorum Road, he entered the Navy as an Ordinary Seaman and is now a Lieutenant and Editor of the magazine as above.Gleaner readers will remember him as the writer of a series of articles under the heading \u201cThinking Back and Looking Ahead\u201d.\u201cCanada Digest\u201d is one of several similar publications put out for the armed forces, each one serving its own purpose, but the Digest is probably in a more abbreviated form.To give some idea of subjects covered, we list a few of the titles from the May edition.No.1 of the first volume\u2014\u201cCanada Cares For Her New Veterans\u201d, \u201cThey're All Human\u2019, \u201cCanada's New V.C.\u201d, \u201cHelicopter Bus Lines\u201d, \u201cOld Mr.Hockey\u201d, \u201cSelf Sufficiency in Oil\u201d, and many others.No.2 for June, gives \u201cFood and a Lasting Peace\u201d, \u201cNaval Demobilization Plans\u201d, \u201cWhat the UNRRA Means to Canada\u201d, \u201cCanada Takes up Dehydration\u201d, \u201cThe Holdout is Back\u201d and several other articles.The article on Dehydration is taken from Canada- West Indies Magazine, a publication which is printed by The Huntingdon Gleaner Inc.Generally speaking the articles in these first two issues of \u201cCanada Digest\u201d are most interesting for any reader and they provide a chance to learn what is going on in this country and how the war effort is progressing.The magazine is published by the Wartime Information Board for the Canadian Armed Forces overseas and we feel sure that it will meet with the approval of all who receive it, in fact we think it bids fair to become one of the most popular publications of the overseas armed forces.We also take this opportunity of congratulating Editor Lieut.Mac- Donald on his efforts in producing such an attractive and worthwhile magazine.* * * Good thinking feels its way by action.Good action must be full of thought.A statesman is a man who take responsibility for the state of his country.* * Agricultural Fairs FMHE day of fairs since the war began has been very haphazard, some have been held throughout the war years regardless of conditions, others have fallen by the wayside, 80 to speak.Many causes have been responsible for this state of affairs, the main one being that of the war itself.Lachute Spring Fair has carried on regardless of the conditions and has carried on quite successfully.There has been a good showing of exhibits in all sections and classes, and the prizes have been on an equal of peace time shows.This year the Fair is being held on June 14, 15, 16 and 17 and the prize list offers farmers an opportunity of winning some good prizes with their exhibits.The Sherbrooke Exhibition has not been held since 1940, but word has been received that it is to be revived this year to be known as the \u201cVictory Fair\u201d, and will be held from August 28 to September 2nd.Great enthusiasm 1s being put into the arrangements for this 1944 Victory Fair and one of the highlights will be the provincial judging competitions for calf club members from all parts of the Province.From this will be determined the Quebec representatives at the Royal Winter Fair.Thus another opportunity is provided for farmers to enter their livestock and compete with their neighbors for the honors and prizes to be distributed.¥% + + Because some people have just wanted to get on in life without regard for others there are others now just wanting to get even.* Merchants Now and Aftef the War N a large number of weekly newspapers reaching the Gleaner Office the past week, there has appeared an editorial entitled \u201cCourtesy in Danger\u201d.It starts out by saying \u201cAdvertising and retail organizations are warning their members that a \u2018record wave of discourtesy and impoliteness\u2019 has swept through business since the war began\u201d.It continues by citing the various shortages of goods, the trend that the customer can have what the businessman has or leave it, rationing and coupons, the inadequate help situation, and so on.Further it says, on account of frayed nerves, less leisure time, personal worry or sadness, the consumer is often short- tempered and snappy.\u201cBut\u201d, says the editorial, \u201cknowing the cause is half the cure.The tendency to be short-tempered, unappreciative and easily irritated is one of the insidious effects of the war.We can't afford to let the enemy make psychological inroads in Canada, when we stand ready to win a material victory in Europe\u201d.We do not believe that the charge contained in the above can be levelled at many of the merchants in the Chateauguay Valley, there may be the odd one here and there and there may be the odd sales clerk who acts this way unbeknown to the employer.But where it does occur, it will no doubt be remembered, and patronage will be shifted elsewhere.Possibly the greatest charge that could be levelled against the merchants, is the lack to extend to their customers that invitation to shop at their places of business that was so prevalent before 1939.As the war continued, shortages in goods have appeared, some goods have been taken from the market altogether, thus the merchants\u2019 stocks have been greatly reduced.This has caused the merchant to say: \u201cWhat is the good for me to advertise, I can\u2019t get the goods to sel\u201d.Many a merchant has thus let his name slide from the view of public, and the public needs constantly reminding.A lesson in successful wartime advertising can be gleaned from any of the Victory Loan Campaigns.Not only were the campaigns a success, but the merchants who took sponsored space to bring such publicity to the public were also helping themselves to publicity and keeping their names in prominence.Perhaps the merchants have not got the goods to sell, but they should still wish to retain the goodwill of their customers.In these days of war, it is everyone's duty to help the war effort in any way he can.Such help may mean spending money from one's own pocket, but better spend the money now than not be able to spend it at all.We have not won the war yet, there is still a chance to lose it.We cannot relax our efforts at this time.Further we must look beyond to the peace also.After the war the merchant will want to regain his old trade, his old customers and so on, he will have more goods to offer.His record during the war years will be a guide to those who will buy in the peace.Recently the advertisers were approached to support advertising space in behalf of \u201cMrs.Consumer Week\u201d, this was specially urged on the part of The Wartime Prices and Trade Board, but it was turned down by the advertisers.The idea was a tribute to the women of Canada in co-operating with the various regulations now in effect.It would have been a splendid opportunity to show courtesy to customers and create goodwill for the advertisers.The results were reported to the Board, and the following in an excerpt from the reply received: \u201cYou will, I believe, be interested to know how different the spirit was in Montreal and other urban centers.Our Field Representatives from right across the country have reported that it was taken up and exploited far beyond their wildest dreams.In Montreal, I had put in considerable work on it but I confess I certainly hadn't anticipated the adver- Lising space or window space that was given this week\".Evidently it was an opportunity missed, which the Huntingdon Merchants\u2019 Association could well have seized upon with good results.At the moment, the Department of National Defence is planning a campaign for a recruiting drive and The Gleaner has been contacted to approach advertisers with a view to securing sponsored advertising in the interests of the campaign and as a patriotic gesture toward helping the victory.Re-inforcements must be maintained after the invasion starts and there is an urgent need for more men to join the armed forces.It is in the interest of all to help such an effort so that victory can be achieved in the shortest possible time.\u2018The advertisers can help in this patriotic endeavour and also keep their name before the public and create goodwill.Time and time again we have been told this is a total war, that is we are all in it whether we are in the armed forces or not.Let us all co-operate for the good of the cause, * * # We speak of \u201ca government of laws, not of men\u201d.But the fact is that the physical courage, mental breadth and moral character of our leaders makes all the difference between order and chaos.Democracy, as has often been said, substitutes the counting of heads for the breaking of heads.But nothing can be substituted for using our heads to see where we are headed.% * # The battle against moral breakdown at home is no less urgent than the battle to break through in Europe.%.% * Do we bring up our children to fit into place in the world or to change the world and make it a fit place for their children?# » % Unselfish people may get down to nothing in their funds.But that never seems to get them down.Chronology

Order of the 31st ultimo, issued in consequence of the action in which I repulsed Gen.Hampton's army, I observe, with regret, that the choice of the several positions which I defended is not attributed to me\u2014 neither is the disposition of the force, which was immediately under my command, understood altogether to have been mine, from which the greater part of the merit (if any there was for contending against a whole army for the space of 4 hours) is taken away from\u2019 me.To elucidate this matter, it appears necessary I should state, that when it was reported on the 21st ult.at Chateauguay church, at night, that the enemy had surprised the picket at Peper's road, I was desired to move with my corps to English river, and finding, when there, that the enemy's intention appeared to be to move down the river Chateauguay, on his way to Montreal, I lost no time in pushing on the troops, and took up the 3 advanced positions, and began to fortify them as well las I could

whence I reconnoitered the American army in the act of advancing | from whence I completed my dis- i positions for the defence of both \\sides of the Chateauguay; from whence, after an obstinate

killed and 16 prisoners, besides a : great number of wounded, about 150 stand of arms, 6 drums, etc.etc, which fell into our hands.Moreover he has since retired into his own country.It is true Major Gen.De Watte- ville inspected my positions and api proved of them and of the orders I had given for their defence.The dispositions to receive the enemy on the 26th were made by myself, no one interfered with them, and no officer of superior rank came up till after the action was over.It is true I was ably seconded by Lieut.Col.McDonnell of the Glengarry Fenci- bles.who had taken up the 4th position 2 days before the action.and by all the officers under my l command.I regret also to observe, in perusing the order of the 27th, that it is supposed I had been thrown forward to cover working parties.This idea is erroneous, in as much as there ! were no works carrying on there but ; such abattis and defences as appeared to me necessary to prevent \"my positions from being outflanked ,or forced.Those I ordered myself\u2014 no engineer directed them.I placed \u2018myself in front of the abattis with the view to begin the defence of the country.I judged it a good position, from whence I

and by the report of prisoners.He was not, then, in full march, with all his baggage and artillery, for the purpose of only attacking a few workmen.(To be continued) [EXER EEE EX SN NJ LETTER TO THE EDITOR WHERE DO THE FARMERS STAND ?To the Editor: Representatives of the railway unions appeared, a few days ago, before the National War Labour Board, at Ottawa, and asked for wage increases, which, in the opinion of the railways, would add to the cost of railway operations somewhere between $84 million and $100 million per annum, This is quite a hefty sum.How much is it?It is equal, at the lowest of these estimates, to the interest, at 3%, on a capital investment of $2,800,000,000.Let me put this statement in another way.If the government borrowed $2,800,- 000,000 at 3% and spent the money on housing, health, the restoration of agriculture, the improvement of education or any of these other things which we deem of national importance, the increased annual interest bill of the nation would be equal to the amount the railway workers now ask as a wage increase.The total wage bill of the railways for 1843 was $310,000,- 000\u2014under the proposed rate it would have been close to $400,000,- 000, The full cost of the proposal would be even greater.This increase cannot be granted without increasing the inflationary tendencies of wartime.Wages and costs, in other directions, would rise.Perhaps the government might be willing to bonus these wage increases, take it out of taxes! It might then add an item to the tax bill, ear-marked, \u2018special tax for benefit of railway workers.\u201d Then the people would know the real cost! Yet this, silly as it sounds, would be less costly than the wage increases, +++ +++ What argument did the railway workers advance?They wanted the rate now paid to American railway workers.American income per capita, in 1939 was $530\u2014Cana- dian, $390.The reason?We have a larger percentage proportion of agricultural population.If we are to select one group and base its earnings on American rates, other groups must get the same and this can not be done.The farmers have a low income.They pay the freight both ways.They will be compelled to pay the major share of the added wages of the railway workers.It will be a costly performance for the farmers but they were not represented, Why were the farmers not represented ?They did not ask to be heard.The farmers are supremely patient.Perhaps their leaders feel that if the workers get more, they will get more.The increase given to any special group, no matter how given, raises costs.It reduces the national income, the reduction will strike the weakest part of the economy.Those who are silent will pay the bills, those who are vocal will escape Would the farmers have been heard if they had gone before the National War Labour Board?Would any other powerful group such as the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association?I think they would but against the most vigorous protest of the Workers\u2019 Organizations! The Unions did not want the broad facts of the case presented.They were anxious to avoid the evidence of those who would pay the bills, They were in a hurry.Who wouldn't be in a hurry with a prize of millions stretched out before them.One man did appear.John L.McDougall of the Econom- les Division of Queen's University, a competent railway economist asked to be heard.He was granted permission to do so by Mr.C.P.Board.Before the date of hearing, a new Chairman was on the job.He refused definitely to hear Mr.McDougalYs statement of the case unless he came as a witness for either the workers or the railways, He refused to listen to argument in regard to his right to be heard.As it now stands, the views of those who pay the bills are ignored.But this 5 a democratic country, the people are supreme, and parliament Is sitting, Parliament can, if It will, see to it that the people retain the right to the free expression of their views on those things which are, beyond question, vital matters of public concern.Could the National War Labour Board render a just decision without hearing gall the evidence?It Is very doubtful, The evidence, as it stands, is not complete.No consideration has been given to the broader Issues Involved.When a Board denies the right of interested parties to appear, or even to state the grounds of their desire to appear, the functions of such Boards naturally become g matter for close public scrutiny, Pree- dom will perish when {free men are no longer permitted to in its defence.pe speak R.J.Deachman.McTague, former Chairman of the ; Opinions Of Others LET'S ALL BE COURTEOUS Advertising and retail organizations are warning their members that a \u201crecord wave of discourtesy and impoliteness\u201d has swept through business since the war bezan.Naturally their reaction is that when the war is over the public will remember rude and unoblig- ing sales clerks and business men and take their patronage elsewhere as soon as the supply of goods is sufficient to allow the individual customer to choose the firm with which he will deal, Just the same there is apt to be a spread of discourtesy.The habit is easy to fall into, and these days it sometimes takes deliberate effort to be pleasant under all ecircum- stances.There is hardly anyone today who does not carry some personal worry or sadness.What should be a bond of common humanity is made an excuse for irritation, The war, now in its fifth year, and on the verge of a climatic turn, can be held responsible to a large degree for lessened tolerance and nerves at high tension.True, everyone who has a service to provide, whether in stores, transportation, deliveries or utilities, has to work against quotas, ration coupons, greater demand and less adequate help.On the consumer side of the picture there is less time to devote to shopping, paying bills and being generally agreeable at the same time, because shortages affect the consumer as well, and many of them are doing war work in what leisure time is left.But knowing the cause is half the cure.The tendency to be short-tempered, unappreciative and \u2018easily irritated, is one of the insidious effects of the war.We can't afford to let the enemy make psychological inroads in Canada, when we stand ready with all we have to win a material victory in Europe.\u2014Carleton Place Canadian.-0- MEANING OF \u201cD\u201d

written for The Huntingdon Gleaner BY DOUGLAS GREEN Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA\u2014(CP) \u2014 More than usual interest has been aroused here by a hint that Canadians will see a federal general election in the fall of this year.Prime Minister Mackenzie King said early in the present session of Parliament that his administration would not go to the country unless circumstances arose over which it had no control.He said then that the government had a mandate from the people to prosecute the war to the utmost.Since then considerable criticism has been voiced in the House and in the press regarding the slow progress so far made with the government\u2019s heavy legislative program.Some members have complained that their $4,000 sessional indemnities, after the deduction of taxes, are insufficient to enable them to make ends meet while they are under the expense of living in Ottawa, away from their homes and business for months at a time, attending to their parliamentary duties.The House dues not now sit on Wednesdays, which are days devoted to committee business, but it has been suggested that it should do so as a means of expediting the consideration of legislative measures.For nearly four months the Commons has been occupied in dealing intermittently with the war appropriation measure, and one cabinet minister said that at the present rate of progress the legislative program will not be finished before December.While Mr.King has given no inkling of his plans regarding an election, it is considered that the pro- Wednesday, June 7th, 1944 THE WEEK AT OTTAWA gress of the invasion of Europe, when it is launched, will have a bearing upon his decision.Meantime, rumor has it that parliament will adjourn after passage of the budget resolutions, leaving the remainder of government business for consideration at autumn sittings.The topic of an increase in the scale of old age pension payments vigorously debated last week, is expected to receive further attention in future.Labour Minister Mitchell said jn the House that he hoped to see the day when Canada would have a contributory old age pension plan under which every one \u201ceven the president of the C.P.R.\u201d would be entitled to a pension as a right.Largely because of the strides made in preventative medicine, the proportion of elderly people in Canada\u2019s population as compared with

of Kansas City, Missouri, have been rewarded for their kindness to a stray German Shepherd dog which wandered into the neighbourhood one day.After feeding and caring for the dog, which was then a mere pup, the children suggested to William Henry Proper, the genial traffic officer on the busy intersection which they crossed daily going to and from school, that he adopt the dog.He assented, and today the children have a canine pal who constantly looks after their welfare as they cross the street.\u201cBrownie,\u201d as he was finally named, is now two years old.and has been made a member of the Kansas City police force for his loyal duty on the corner.He learned with no training.but simply by watching his master, to see small children safely across the street.Taking the children firmly by the hand or wrist, he first looks in both directions before he leaves the sidewalk, to see that he has sufficient time to cross the street.Then he escorts them across, allowing no one to loiter on the way.If cars are coming too closely from either direction, Brownie refuses to let the children cross.Recently adults and larger children have come to depend on Brownie for getting safely across the corner.For his work in seeing one woman across the street each day, he was rewarded regularly with dog biscuits.Usually, Brownie just supplements the work of Mr.Proper on the corner, and escorts persons acro while his master watches out for careless drivers.But sometimes when Traffic Officer Proper is forced to leave the corner during an emergency.Brownie takes over by himself and quite capably attends to the pedestrian traffic.Traffic officials of the Kansas City police department feel that Brownie should really have some share of the credit for the city's fine safety record.which includes no elementary children killed going or coming from school in six years.He has been given a regulation cap and badge for his work and comes in for regular citations from officers for his traffic handling.Brownie keeps regular hours on the corner, and doesn't allow extracurricular activities to Interfere with his career.He goes on the job at the same time as his master, and doesn't knock off work until he does.Recently he took on the additional duty of selling war bonds.Brownie takes pedestrians by the hand or wrist and leads them to the war bond booth which is located on the corner.It was another trick that wasn't taught him\u2014he just picked it up by watching Mr.Proper do the same thing.The dog is two years old, has a well-proportioned head and kind eyes.He has a black muzzle, black ears and a reddish-brown coat.Both the young and old are counted in his host of friends and he has an especial liking for men in uniform, many of whom remember him after they get overseas and write back requesting his photograph.ESSENTIAL Dr.Chas a ase's Nerve Foo LLU AL MAGIC'S HONEY BISCUITS ee li 2 cupe sifted flour cup honey 14 tspa.salt cup milk (scant) 4 cup shortening

\u201cThe interests which exploit the sick through \u2018patent medicine\u2019 advertising on the radio should not be allowed to tamper longer with the health and pocketbooks of the .people,\u201d The Journal of the American Medical Association says in a current issue.The radio industry is called upon by the professional journal to emulate many leading newspapers in eliminating the exploitation of the sick through \u2018patent medicine\u2019 advertising.Commenting on a report in the same issue on cases of chronic prolonged bromide intoxication, the Journal says: \u201cAlthough many leading publications of the country have made a serious effort to eliminate the worst of the \u2018patent medicines\u2019 from their advertising pages.numerous radio stations remain notoriously backward in this respect.Hour after hour, day after day, loud speakers of radios blare forth outrageous claims for some nostrum or \u2018patented\u2019 home remedy.The \u2018patent\u2019 remedies advertised range from those that may be positively harmful, as is that discussed elsewhere in this issue, to those that are merely grossly overpriced in relation to their value.Even these, however, tend to delay the use of dependable foods or services and initiate the expenditure of funds that might better be applied to securing scientific diagnosis and treatment.Recently newspapers as widely different as the Chicago Tribune and PM have almost simultaneously exposed some of the most notorious of the \u2018patent medicines.\u2019 But newspapers alone cannot solve this problem.The situation requires | the housecleaning efforts of the radio industry itself and the more active interest of those governmental agencles, such as the Federal Trade Commission, Food and Drug Administration, and Post Office Department, which are delegated with responsibility in this regard .:\u201d a Powerscourt Miss Mayne Jamieson, of Rock- burn, spent a few days with Miss B.Anderson.Misses Marjorie, Christina and Carol

practically all vegetables, and especially the leafy and root sorts, the real secret of crispness and garden freshness is quick growth.Lettuce that has been stalled in its growth period or carrote or young beets that have received a check, then started to grow again, are almost sure to be tougher or woodier than they should be.The reason is simple.Once growth slows down for any reason, the roots or leaves start to toughen and dry-out, with the result that crispness and tenderness soon c'sappear.Even {if quick growth is resumed again, there is liable to be a lowering of the high, fresh quality one has a right to associate with vegetables grown right at the kitchen door.Market gardeners know all about this danger and they guard against it successfully.By proper thinning and fertilizing, by constant cultivation and by watering whenever necessary they keep their cabbage, cauliflowers, celery, radish, lettuce, etc.coming along almost regardless of weather.Say the experts\u2014\"Give the average vegetable sufficient room between plants, cultivate soil thoroughly so that there is a fine drought-resisting mulch on top always during the growing season, add a little fertilizer, commercial or natural, even when soll is fairly good, and during a real siege of drought water those rows and kinds which need it, and there will be no tough vegetables in your Victory Garden this year.\u201d Thinning and Spacing Of the early jobs after the first of the garden is planted none can compare in importance with thinning and spacing.This applies to either flowers or vegetables.Crowded flowers will get thin and spindly, will not bloom long and the biggest plants will blow over in the first storni.They should have half as much room between as they will grow tall.This means about four or five inches for things like nasturtiums, less for alyssum, much more for 30-inch-tall marigolds and cosmos.With vegetables, two measurements must be considered\u2014width between rows and space between plants.Tiny things like radish only need a couple of inches between plants, and leaf lettuce, carly carrots, beets, about the same.Twelve inches between rows will be enough for these but fiftcen Inches will make cultivation and working easier.Beans and peas should have four to six inches between, and as all the sced usually germinates it should be planted to about #his far apart.Corn is usually planted three to six seeds to a hill, about 18 inches apart.Labour Savers New gardeners are advised to watch the way old-timers handle tedious jobs.Wherever possible they use long handled spades, forks, rakes and hoes to prevent stooping.They also use little special cultivators with long handles.Even In wartime it is possible to get a very fair assortment of garden tools.Minimum requirements are a rake, hoe and either a digging fork or spade.Order Seeds Early Newcomers are advised to order carly.Canadian seedsmen say there will be enough to go round if orders arc placed early and only what is needed for this season is bought.Canada has now to depend entirely on its own production and what seed can be imported from the United States.Believes Clover Keeps Down Weeds BAYONNE, N.J.\u2014(CP) - Plants are set to work ridding gardens of weeds and keeping the soll moist in a new type of agricultural cultivation sponsored by Morris J.Spivack of Bayonne.For two summers he has planted corn in a field that first had been fully sown with white clover.The corn was drilled in, in holes, when the clover was about to head.After that Mr.Spivak mowed the clover in the rows between the corn from time to time.He calls this method intermowing and inter- tilling.His idea is that not only does the mowed crop restrict weeds but that its roots are biological ald to the main crop.In both summers he reports his corn off the clover patch was better thar the average corn of the region.| The second summer was dry, but his ; corn field soil he says did not dry out.i Lone Coyote Gives ' Hunters Hot Chase OGDEN, Utah, (CP)\u2014For nearly two weeks a lone coyote dodged hunters and killed sheep on Fremont island, a 10-mile-by-five-mile expanse of rock-ridged land in the \u2018Great Salt Lake.Ten thousand ;sheep graze on the island with no need of herders or dogs since the island is 10 miles from the nearest *mainland.Twice hunters and hounds made \"trips to Fremont, took 100 shots or \u2018more at the fleet-footed marauder, but each time returned weary and | Footsore.: Finally, a party of 25 hunters with |two packs of hounds chased across barren ridges and along the sandy beaches.It outran the hounds with ease.At last the coyote was wounded, and unhesitatingly plunged into the lake where men in a motor launch lassoed it.Hunters believe a cake of ice from Bear river emptying into the lake carried the coyote to the island.EISENHOWER PRAISES CANADIAN TROOPS London, (CP)\u2014QGen.Dwight D.Eisenhower returned to headquarters today from a field inspection of Canadian

had arrived and the invasion was in progress.The attack started at midnight Monday night and mine fields were cleared and a path made toward the French Coast of Normandy in readiness for the ships which would cross.Aircraft maintained constant watch for an enemy action.By dawn, Tuesday morning, the way was cleared and the armada started out on what is considered one of the biggest invasion tactics ever before carried out., British, Canadian and American forces landed at points between Le Havre and Cherbourg in France, and fought their way inland for nine miles, meeting very weak resistance by the German forces and very little opposition from the air.Naval guns pounded the coast along this strip of shore line and the pounding is still going on.Paratroopers in gliders attached to planes of the R.C.A.F.were carried over the so-called \u201cAtlantic Wall\u201d and their losses were surprisingly light.The Germans were the first to anther has been quite changeable.It has been

inside Normandy.Other landings at different points have also been announced by the Germans, but no confirmation is forthcoming from Official Allied sources.__ Ttis surprising that the invasion troops did not meet with stiffer resistance and this seems to be puzzling the commanders of the Allied troops, but there are warnings that people should not view this part of the invasion with too light hearts, as it is expected that strong German counter attacks will come and the fighting will be much more difficult.The Germans are still very strong say the reports.The news was received in Huntingdon, very calmly, although there were feelings of apprehension among those who had relatives in the armed forces overseas.A special joint service is being held at St.John\u2019s Anglican Church, for prayer and meditation in behalf of boys in the armed forces taking part in the invasion and for all others.It is hoped that this will provide an opportunity for all who wish to offer

Tregaskis' best-selling book of the same title, \u201cGuadalcanal Diary\u201d will have Preston Foster.Lloyd Nolan, William Bendix, Richard Conte and Anthony Quinn in the leading roles, with Richard Jaeckel, Roy Roberts, Minor Watson, Ralph Byrd, Lionel Stander, Reed Hadley and John Archer.\u201cGuadalcanal Diary,\u201d the book, has been one of the country's top best-sellers for the past year.A Book-of-the-Month Club Selection, it has since been re-printed in several editions; it ran in Cosmopolitan Magazine: scores of newspapers published a pictorial serialization, While Guadalcanal Island, a name unknown to 99.997, of America two years ago, has become as familiar today as Kokomo, Oshkosh and Brooklyn, the picturiza- tion provides the first opportunity to see the actual conditions under which the gallant Marines, who led the occupation, fought.Just before dawn, under a roaring barrage of naval-fire and alir- power, the Marines pile into their landing barges and head for shore.From this graphic beginning, the film tells the stirring drama of America's first smashing victory against Japan\u2014and tells it through the eyes of \u201cTaxi\u201d (William Bendix), who longs for

the intermissions and a marked improvement was noted in the playing.Both the boys and their bandmaster are to be congratulated on the progress made in the past few months.If this is kept up the band will soon be one ranking among the best.During the concert several solo and duet numbers were rendered by members of the band as part of the programme and called forth much applause.Mr.M.Ruddock acted as chairman for the evening and announced the various numbers.The opening number was a recitation by little Nola Stark.She stood between the two big red curtains of the stage and her blond hair and light dress made a striking contrast, which brought forth a simultaneous exclamation from the whole audience.It certainly made a very impressive opening to the concert, as she gave her recitation, \u201cA Welcome\u201d, The Rhythm Band composed of young members of the school, in gay colored uniforms, conducted first by a young male student, and then by a female student, gave three very good numbers.The High School Band played \u201cColonel Bogey\u201d while the scenery was changed for the next number.Grade Five pupils put on a play entitled \u201cZachary's Hired Man\u201d, which brought

characters of the famous nursery rhymes were introduced and the little rhymes repeated.A play, \u201cThe Truth Telling Machine\u201d caused much laughter, for the characters in the play had gone to such pains to tell all kinds of stories and the ma- chine showed that they were not telling the {ruth and went on to prove it.At the end, the untruth of one player was too much for the machine and it burst into pieces.This was staged by pupils of Grade 6.Folk dance by pupils of Grade 3: cornet duet: \u201cLondonderry Air\" and \u201cJust a'wearying for You\u201d by Duncan Rankin and Bandmaster

added much to the success of the numbers.GERMAN PRISONERS BELIEVE WAR LOST LONDON\u2014(CR)\u2014German prisoners of war in Britain now are broadcasting to the German people and to the German forces,

history was made ast week when a \u201clarge force\u201d of American heavy bombers apparently based in Italy\u2014struck at Rumanian targets Friday and then landed at Russian bases.It was a landmark, too, in Unit ed Nations\u2019 aerial co-operation.Both Russian Yaks and American Mustangs escorted the Flying Fortresses, and ground crews made up of American and Russian mechanics met the ships as they touched down on fields that had been specially | prepared in recent months.One bomber was lost and one fighter missing from the unprecedented action.At this relatively slight cost the furthest corners of Axis Europe were laid open to aerial : bombardment by the Allies, fury of whose pre-invasion air blows has mounted since mid-April.An official announcement said adoption of the shuttle technique marked military fulfilment of decisions reached at last year's Teheran and Moscow conferences among Britain, the United States and Russia, and added \u201cthe operations .mark the first large-scale physical co-operation of the air forces\u201d of the three powers.Shuttle-bombing was pioneered SLEEP an AWAKE REFRESHED If you don't sleep well \u2014if nights are interrupted by restlessness \u2014Jook to your kidneys.If your kidneys are out of order and failing to cleanse the blood of poisons and waste matter\u2014your rest is likely suffering, too.At the first sign of kidney trouble turn confidently to Dodd's Kidney Pills\u2014for over half a century the favorite kidney remedy.Easy to take.114 Commentary nearly a year ago when R.AF.Lan- casters took off the night of June 30, 1843, from British bases, bombed Friedrichshafen in southern Germany and flew across the Mediterranean to land at bases in North Africa.Return flight was made three nights later as the four-motored glants hit Spezia, naval base in north Italy near Genoa, without loss.Significance of the new Italy- Russia run\u2014presumably similar flights are possible between Britain \"and Russia\u2014is both military and political.All Points Vulnerable Allied air fleets now may hammer i Axis installations and war plants hitherto relatively safe from attack because of their distance from Allied bases.and the new threat likely will result in spreading Nazi defences\u2014 already scanty\u2014even thinner.But perhaps even more important is the fact that when AlHed bombers strike deep into the strategic Balkans, they may have considerable influence in shortening the length of time such satellites as Hungary and Rumania remain in the war.A record impact of 133,700 tons of bombs struck Europe during the month of May, nearly three tons per minute for the entire month.British bombers are estimated to have dropped more than 51,000 tons in approximately 139,000 sorties during May, with targets ranging from Norway to the Balkans and from Italy to Poland.American planes dropped more than 83,000 tons of bombs in about 80,000 sorties.These record figures for May bombings do not include operations of the tactical air force in Italy.On Other Fronts Nazi troops have driven tw wedges into the Russian lines northwest of the Rumanian city of Iasi Just inside the Moldavian border.The Russians descrive the advances as \u201cinsignificant wedges\u201d made by the Germans in the face of heavy losses of men and equipment.Chinese forces driving to re-open the Burma Road, have made advances in spite of heavy monsoon rains and deep mud.In the Sal- Dodd'sKidneyPills ween River area, north of the Bur- Lachute S SICAL HORSE J.H.BLACK, President June 14-15-16 and 17 LEADING

year.Intimation that the budget will be brought down about June 15 was made in the Commons by Finance Minister Ilsley last week.He said he had hoped to present it earlier, but he had been busy with many matters.He said that all speculation in the press regarding the possible content of the budget was unfounded.\u201cI don't know what the budget contains and neither does the Government, and we

another bracket after the war.Montrealers will be able to boast that their city has joined the ranks of other large metropolitan centres, across the North American continent and in Europe, which have Subways.The idea of a subway has been broached many times by various organizations and civic bodies of Montreal.However, Mr.R.N.Watt, president of Montreal Tramways Company revealed recently, what would be classed as being the most advanced plans yet achieved.As an indication of how extensive the plans are, Mr.Watt in an address before the Greater Montreal Economic Council, two weeks ago, said that the plans are a result of a year's study.During the 12 months in which the survey was taken a certain part of Montreal Tramways\u2019 engineering staff was employed along with another firm from Chicago which has had extensive experience in subway construction and transit planning.Important factors involved, supporting such a project is the number of men which would be employed.Mr.Watt asserted that in building these subways 3,400 men would be directly on the payroll while an additional 5,000 would be needed in various concerns supplying the material.It would therefore require over a period of four years 8,400 men to reach such a goal.This would be an important contribution towards aleviating the post war unemployment problem.Another reason given for the need of subways in Montreal was the expected increase in population of Montreal to more than 2,000,000 persons by 198! and the anticipated increase in automobile ownership resulting in Increased street traffic congestion.Subways were recommended in preference to widening of streets or building of express highways or elevated roadways.In the statistics supplied in Watt's report it was shown that 40,000 persons per hour could be carried over a single subway track as compared with 1,400 persons per hour in a traffic lane added to present street widths, or 2.800 persons per lane per hour on express highways.Initial work as outlined by the plan would involve the construction of two subways.At the completion of this work subsequent underground transportation facilities would be added until a citywide subway system would be achieved.The first proposed route would be 5': miles long and would start in the eastern part of Montreal and eventually work itself to a point just above St.Catherine and Peel.Estimated cost of this section of the system would be $37,949,000.The other subway would run underneath St.Catherine Street through the middle part of the city passing such points as Peel and Guy Streets.It would require approximately four years to prepare the plans to construct and equip these subways for operation.In other words, before the actual work could commence preliminary surveys, plans, estimation and organizing would require at least 48 months.Total cost of both subways would be approximately $61,000.000.Gold Mining Industry Interest in Gold Mines both in Quebec and Ontario has shown a sharp improvement during the early spring months of the current year.Some very important finds in northern Ontario and Quebec have helped considerably to boost interest in the Toronto Stock Market where a major part of the mining stock changes hands.Discoveries such as have been reported from the Aumaque mines in northern Quebec resulted in gains in this company's stock of as much as 28 cents in one day rising from 75 cents in value to $1.03.Wider CANADA CEMENT COMPANY LIMITED Office \u2014 Canada Cement Company Building \u2014 Phillips Square Montreal Spray to Keep Dogs, Cats From Shrubs Flowers and shrubs in the front garden and ornamental plants on front porches and the corner posts of porches may be protected against damage by dogs and cats by the simple use of a dilute nicotine spray.The spray is harmless but its smell is very offensive to cats and dogs, even when applied so thinly that persons are unaware of its presence.The spray evaporates and should be renewed after rain.In good weather, spraying every two weeks is sufficient.The name of the material is nicotine sulphate and it may be bought at any seed or drug store.The spray is prepared by mixing one-half teaspoonful of the nicotine sulphate with one gallon of water, which makes the mixture strong enough for all ordinary circumstances.gains than even this have been shown, by some of the penny stocks, upon the encouraging reports which have come from the mines.Mining companies at present are suffering from the labour situation.Restrictions at present however, are somewhat easier than during last year.If there is a possibility that a mine will have to close down because of lack of manpower the Dominion government has indicated that it would assist the mine to find sufficient men to prevent such an incident.Considerable importance has been attributed to the mining industry turning out important minerals for the war effort.Emphasis upon the production of iron, copper and other high priority minerals caused a strain upon the gold mines manpower situation.In the face of this Canada was very fortunate to be able to produce gold in the early stages of the war, in order to pay the United States for goods which we imported.This was before the United States had entered the war and Canada was not selling as much goods to our southurn neighbour as is the case now.Discussions now being carried out to form an international monetary system and policy again brings fo4 the fore the possibilities of gold.There are good chances that gold will perhaps be used to a certain extent, and this immediately means that Canada's gold mining industry would have sfill more importance.Aubrey, called at the T.E.Cle- | | | Robson Bgt.Leslie Stewart, of the US.Army Medical Corps, spent a few

TC ee oA a semis Wednesday, June 7th, 1944 WHAT?WHY?HOW?Article No.6 GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP Part 1 Some Private Enterprises do take care of their Employees to the extent that those Employees, if they attend to their work, are removed from the fear of want during their adult life except in those cases in which a major sickness takes hold of the individual or their family in his later years of life.If certain Private Enterprises can do that should not all enterprise under private management be able to do the same thing and under proper conditions be expected to do that very thing.In this article we are to look at Governmental ownership and control of Industry.We hear quite a little these days about State Socialism and whilst Government Ownership and control of all Industry need not necessarily be State Socialism yet in its operation the two are very similar.The theory upon which they both operate and obtain support is that there ought to be no Private profit but that all Industry shall be run entirely for the benefit of all the people and the surplus of Income over Expense (if any) will enable the country to embark upon and successfully consumate all sorts of Social legislation and give to the Individual, no matter where he be located, services about which, at the present time, he can only dream.In those Industries in which the Government does at the present time exercise control and ownership, that is those services in which the Government is in the capacity of an Employer, its Employees, the Civil Service, too have the fear of want removed from their adult life also excepting those cases in which a major sickness developes in later life and also of course excepting those cases where the employment is at the disposal of the particular party in power, those who are so placed that when there is a change of Government find themselves in the unfortunate position of looking for a new employer.These unfortunate ones do not usually retire on pension.As far as removing the fear of want from the lives of its Civil Servants the Government compares quite favourably with Private Enterprise.It is indeed, more than possible, taking into consideration the percent of population employed by Government who receive Pension and Sickness benefits as compared with the percent employed by Private Enterprise receiving the same benefits, the Government has Private Enterprise \u201cskinned a mile\u201d in its treatment of those it employs, If that is correct why not turn all Industry over into Government ownership?There is, however, a vast difference in how a Government is able to pay Sick benefits, pensions, etc, as compared with how Private Enterprise does the same thing.If Private Enterprise Pays these benefits I am using the word Pay, instead of give, because we feel to-day that an employee is entitled to receive for his wholehearted work sufficient to keep him to-day and provide for his Old age, so these things should be considered as part of his pay) it needs to earn the money to meet the cost.It is a part of the Expense of doing business which must be met out of Revenue and to earn this excess of Revenue over expenses quite efficient management.With the Government it is not quite the same.The Government does not need to earn a profit on its activity to give their Employees these benefits, they can be, and very often are, paid out of Taxes.Well, if Government owned all In- CLIT] ITA CURE RDA ELGIN I CLT se higher $ than 250 per person FOR MAP or FOLDER, write FORD HOTELS CO.Montreal} (2 g Ji | PEN I: [Ig LITT 107 LR LA Ma J 400 lovely rooms with PEL dustry could it not still pay everybody employed these same benefits out of Taxes?Where do Taxes come from?If Governments were running all Industry there would be no profit out of Industry going to anybody but to the Government.\u2018The People would be Wage-earners with the Government the Employer.There would not be the same wealth to Tax as at present.Oh, one might say, If the Government was run have the profit from Industry and so would not need to levy a Tax upon the people.The State would nave the money to meet these benefits and all other National Services out of the préfits from their various activities.We would have ail these things about which we have dreamed and live in a Tax free world to boot, would we?Has Gov | ernment participation in business been productive of much profit so far?In Canada\u2014in the US.A.?| The United States Government took over the Railroad Industry during the last war and were mighty glad to hand it back again.It made no profit out of its venture and that under conditions in which Railroad revenues had increased, enormously over normal times.It paid no Interest, Dividends, on the Capital invested in the Railroads and I do not think it paid any Taxes either.No, there was no profit\u2014but there was a large deficit.Did our Intercolonial Railroad make a profit or did the Government need to dig deep into Tax Revenues to keep it going?How about the CNR.?Does the Post Office operate entirely out of Revenue or does it also, for its pension payments, need assistance from ordinary Tax Revenues?The Wheat Pool?Liquor

Mizpah No.35 conducted Joint Masonic services at the church and at the committal at the ceme- ry.The pallbearers from No.2 Lodge were Messrs.A.Cove, W.A.Noble and R.N.Bradley, and from No.35 Lodge, George Esmonde-White, J.A.Bell and Roy Keating.Interment was made in Hillside cemetery beside many of his old friends who had predeceased him.Many beautiful floral tributes covered the casket, expressing the esteem of his old friends and his relatives, Angus John McCormick, for many years a familiar figure among the old-timers of Medicine Hat, dled after a brief illness on the 11th instance, at the age of 82 years.The late Mr.McCormick was a lifelong Mason, being a member of Assiniboine Lodge No.7 at Portage la Prairie.As a young man, he entered the flour milling business with Ogil- vies at Montreal, where he became manager.In 1893 he came to Portage la Prairie, taking charge of the installation of machinery and ning all Industry the State would; men have been privileged to

agreement with the United Kingdom.The contract calls for delivery of 2,045,000,000 pounds of bacon to the United Kingdom during the next four years.\u2018The extended period of the pact should mean that, for some time after the war Canadian hog producers will have a much better market than before 1939 when the biggest export year was 190,000,000 pounds sold to Britain and during one year the United Kingdom'\u2019s buying from Canada fell to 12,000,000 pounds.The average for the next four years will be 500,000,000 pounds.The size of the contract and the increase of 75 cents per hundred pounds in price are both important.But the outstanding feature of the new agreement is that it is for four years and may run well into the early peace years.This is believed to be a pattern for future food contracts with Britain and possibly other nations, assuring that there will be no sudden slump in demand with the end of the war.It is part of the general Government program to take steps now for post-war prosperity and will help the plan to keep a floor under farm prices, for which legislation is being introduced this session.Taken together with the demand of war- stricken nations after liberation, it appears that there will be a big demand for Canadian farm products for some years.Prime Minister Makes Triumphant Return Prime Minister King's return to Ottawa from the London

Personnel Department had to be one that grew with its responsibilities, and during the past year the Personnel Department has gradually taken on additional duties as it was found capable of coping with them.It has not yet assumed all of the responsibilities intended for it, but will be found an ever growing assistance to the men and women working for the Montreal Cottons Limited.The Company in an endeavour to establish a successful department has placed every available means of improvement at the command of the department\u2019s active head.He has been given a course in personnel management at McGill University and attends monthly conferences on administration work given by the best authorities in this country.In addition, publications on this type of work have been freely made available to the department.The Personnel Office is open to all of the Company's employees from 7 AM.to 6 PM.and in the evening when necessity arises.An employee is free at any time to drop in for an interview to discuss his work and arrange better placement if he or she is not entirely satisfied with his or her present work.The Personnel Bureau is in close contact with all the superintendents and foremen and therefore they are in a position to know what is taking place with regards to any employee under their charge.At times it is found that the employee does not feel physically able to continue with his task and such cases are often referred to the company's doctor for a physical check-up where treatment is recommended and a more suitable type of work is found for Waste Paper Need Urgent When

cardboard car- | tons you have in your basement; those old piles of magazines; the old ledgers and business records that are collecting dust in your files, can all play an important part.The empty cigarette box you throw in the fireplace can be transformed into the container for ammunition which may open up a vital hole in the enemy line.In England, it's against the law to throw away a street car transfer.Easily 90 percent of all waste paper or paperboard is salvaged there.And if Canadians would save just a fraction of what they now discard, the 20,000 tons now vitally needed for war work each month would be a \u2018push over\u201d.At least, that's how Charles La- Ferle, National Director of the Salvage Campaign, feels about it.\u201cLook,\u201d said Mr.LaFerle in a recent interview.\u201cShortage of waste paper may jeopardize our whole war effort.Mills are operating from hand to mouth.They require 20,000 tons of waste paper every month.Salvage and collection of this paper is an essential part of the war effort on the home front.\u201cYou see,\u2019 he went on, \u201cnot long ago we all regarded a paper box as just a container.But it is changed now.The armed forces uses them to be thrown over-board for landing operations, floating to shore or sinking to the bottom to be recovered at low tide.They provide protection for medical kits, blood plasma, emergency rations, gas masks and for a hundred other uses.We even have paper parachutes to carry precious foods and supplies for isolated men and units.\u201cWhen \u2018D' Day comes and our paratroops land on enemy soll, we've got to feed \u2018em keep \u2018em supplied with food, ammunition, maybe even drinking water.Most of the stuff will be dropped in paper containers, with paper

by Brendan Bracken, British Minister of Information, who said the Nazis on the Italian front are receiving \u201cone of the greatest thrashings in their history\".Mr.Bracken's declaration came as the enemy committed his last reserves in southern Italy to the battle south of Rome and as the Germans announced they had evacuated Pico\u2014the last northern bastion of the switch line.Meanwhile, à connection between advancing Allied troops and those at the Anzio beachhead was expecied momentarly.On Monday, Lt.-Gan.Mark W.Clark of the 5th Army visited the beachhead and established an advanced command post there.It also has been revealed that Canadian infantry, as well as tanks, are fighting in the present drive, The Moscow Communist newspaper Pravda said that the breakthrough of the Hitler Line has taught the Germans \u201cthe Allies are capable of breaking any defence, and possess sufficient forces to do so\u201d Pravda sald invasion from the west is imminent but added that \u201cpresent hostilities in Italy are regarded not as an isolated operation but as the beginning of a general offensive in this theatre,\u201d and that is what \u201calarms the Germans so much.\u201d

ordinary methods of sanitation and control of Bang's disease\u201d, Dr.C.A.Mitchell, Dominion Animal Pathologist and chief of the Animal Diseases Research Institute at Hull, told members of the Ottawa Milk Producers\u2019 Association at a recent meeting.He gave the members a general outline of the cause and history of the disease and warned against too great reliance on vaccination as a means of control.It was useful in raising the resistance to the disease of the young animal but was not a cure.He warned farmers, dairymen in particular, that the time to eliminate the disease and \u2018enforce control measures was when cows were proven positive by the blood test, but were not actually aborting.There was no catching up with it once the virulent stage was reached.Only Pray \u201cWhen the storm is on you can only sit back and pray.There is nothing I know of that can be done at that stage.\u201d Dr, Mitchell\u2019s talk was listened to with great interest.He is an acknowledged authority on the subject and the Dominion laboratory at Hull, of which he is the director, has done some of the best work yet accomplished on this subject, which is of so great interest to all cattle breeders.Dr.Mitchell stated that Bang\u2019s disease could only be eliminated by a planned program, blood testing and removing affected animals.A supplement to the plan was calfhood vaccination, but it was not a cure.He belicved such a plan the safest course to pursue in nn effort to control the disease.Time to Attack The time to attack the problem was when abortion was not rampant in a herd.When they were proven with disease by the blood test only.not when actually aborting, was the time to start control measures.The greatest source of infection was the aborted calf.He warned this might take place at two months, or less, when the unborn calf was very small and that excretion could do a great deal of harm.For up to three weeks afterwards the cow was a danger to the herd.The other great source of infec- Vaccination Not Cure-All \u2018 ing troops and armor in the south.case Raises Resistance of Calf But Sanitation and , States Dr.Mitchell fected animal recovered, as far as he was aware.Bang's disease and its control was a world problem to the live stock Industry and dated back through several hundred years of history.It was caused by a micro-organism and was the only disease of this type in Canada.It effects cattle and hu- mans\u2014the latter as undulant fever.It could propagate only in the organisms of cattle.Apparently the only way it entered the cow's body was through the mouth, although In a few instances infection had been through the eye.Although a cow usually aborted only once or twice it still had the disease.In the spleen an infection was set up from which the cow never recovered, although there might be Immunity in the uterus.Healthy Calf The calf born from an infected cow.in the majority of instances, grew up a healthy animal if in clean surroundings.It was only as the calf grew to maturity, from six to ten months of age, that it was susceptible to infection.This knowledge permitted some control over the disease, \u201cRemove the calf from an infected mother and most calves will grow up healthy.This permits building up a new and healthy herd\u201d, stated Dr.Mitchell.Not Alone Too many cattlemen depended on vaccination alone Lo free their herds from the disease.Calfhood vaccination simply raised the resistance of the young animal.After vaccination the young animal could not be exposed to all kinds of infection.Bang's disease was recognized as a liability to the milk industry.It was transmissable to man and was a ser- fous fever.He knew this from experience as seven members of the laboratory staff in Hull had suffered the disease, some had been away from work for months as a result.He pointed out that when vaccinated the calf received n dose of a mild strain of the disease at a time of life when the strain would not pollenize in the calf.\u2018:But the calf is not afterwards immune to the disease.If given sufficient exposure it will come down,\u201d cautioned Dr.Mitchell, who then went on to warn farmers against
