"I would lîke to pay tribute to the farmers of the islands there. Forty per cent of their food was home grown at the beginning of the war. Now they are growing near 70 per cent of it. I saw on- ions growing in the moat at Windsor Castle which before the war was a flower bcd. When his- tory is written, the farmers' story will be one of the highlights of the war," he continued. He told of the damage âone by a 500 pound bomb ta a hotel at Brighton. "You become a fatalist if you are over there for a while. If this one has your number ong it that is ail there is to it," heg said.1 Interviews with important per-i sonages were the order of the day. McNaughton, Churchill, Air Mar- shall Edwards, Sir Stafford Cripps and Lord Woolton were some of the many. Perhaps one of his most im- pressive experiences was that nigbt when the newspapermen gathered at an air force station to watch a group o! young Canadian pilots go off in Halifax and Wel- lington bombers on an expedi- tion. Duscberg on the Rhur was the target that night. There was a tenseness, as it was the fourtb raid in six nights. They do not reiish the jobs. "Anyone else wish to sce the padre?" is the laàt thing tbey say to the flyers. "You could flot but be impressed with the figbting spirit," said Mr. Charters. It was on this particu- lar occasion that tbey saw flares being dropped by the Germans and aithougb it was 18 or 20 miles away it seemed much nearer. Ack ack guns took up fire and in a short time thcy werc cîther shaken off or downed. It was Mr. Charter's privilege to talk to many Canadian lads who had been tbrough the fire at Dieppe. He told of this, and o! visiting a training centre and sec- ing the soldiers on manoeuvres. At Portsmouth he saw the British Navy and "it was a thrilling spec- tacle." "Do flot forget the letters," was Mr. Charters' appeai. "When you saw the mail come in and watcb- ed the face o! the man who did not get a iettcr your hcart went out to him." "We visited His Majesty's Ship 'Victory' which took part in the battie of Trafalgar in 1805. The men of the Navy stili idolize this oid boat. It was here Nelson said: "England Expects Every Man To Do His Duty!" They are doing it. They are showing us a real ex- ample of heroism and sacrifice. I sometimes think we use the word 'sacrifice' when we mean by the expression, 'a little self- denial'. Lord Nelson said 'Thank God I am satisfied. I have donc my duty', on the same occasion. These men are doing a sacrifîciai job on our behaif. "The people o! Engiand have learncd to sacrifice for the na- tion. We in Canada have con- tinued to sacrifice our nation to our selfisbness. National charac- ter is the core of national strengtb. It is up to us to build it," he said. As a ciosing message he men- tioncd the power of prayer and said that a littie poemi which he was going to read to them ex- plaincd f ar better than he could his message. The poem is repro- duced on page 2 of this issue. Rotarian W. R. Strike on behaif of the club cxpressed apprecia- tion to Mr. Charters for his in- teresting and informative address. His remarks were endorsed by President L. W. Dippeil. Two prominent guests were Tom Wilson, Manager o! The Co- bourg Sentinel-Star, and Dr. M. J. A. James of New York City. "What you shouid know and what you should do," a booklet containing suggestions on what to do in the event o! an air raid, was distributed by Rotarian A. M. Hardy, superintendent o! the Goodyear, with the compliments of that organization. Rotarian Len Eliiott, a native of Peel County who comes from north o! Brampton, renewed his acquain- tance with the speaker. As the coiored doorman ran down to open the limousine door, he tripped and rolled down the iast four steps. "For heaven's sake, ibe careful," cried the club manager, "They'll think you're a member." man, Newcastle, Mr. Arnold Ey- man, Whitby, at Hans Geissber- I1 ger's. .. Mr. and Mrs. Wes.

Shcuzz and Beck, with 22 present and F. B. Lovekin convener. Sub- ject: Manpowcr and Farm Labor. We listcned to Mr. McNamara endeavoring to explain Selective Compulsory Service, then !ormed three groups. This was the oppor- tunity for farmers ahl across Can-, ada to tell the government what their problems are and to make suggestions for solving them. Findings: Selective S e r v i c e comes too late. Farm workers have been receiving their cail and enlisting in great numbers; are confused regarding the cail up; do flot approve o! the present metbod. We know o! just one-man frozen on the farm in this locaiity. Production is already reduced in regard to beef cattle, dairy cattie and hogs. Some increase is shown in hen production on account of woman power. Farmers need much more help the year round including extra help in faîl which is the busiest barvest scason. Do not approvc o! farm help ieaving farm in winter months. This is the only time le! t for ex- tra work in stables, due to stock inside, repairing machinery, get- ting in the year's supply o! fire- wood, cleaning grain, prun.ing, and placing fertilizer on land. Men from towns and cities who have not been raised on farms arc very littie use. We would recommend that the majority of boys and girls of school age be kept in school. More government action is need- cd to assist the farmer in securing bigher prices, enabling him to pay wages on a par with those paid in industry and other professions; also a ho¶ising scbeme to take care o! the farm laborer and his family. We will watch with interest the resuits of MVr. McNamara's broad- cast. S. S. NO. 4 Our forum met at Harold Muir's with an attendance o! twenty-one. Subject was Manpowcr and Farm Labor, with these questions and answers: 1. In what ways have the man- power regulations and farm poli- cies affectcd your area: (a) freez- ing of men on the land, (b) me- thod of military caîl, (c) provis- ion o! emergency beip in peak seasons? Answer: (a) There has been no freezing of manpower. (b) Those asking for postponement have got it. Some of those on farms have felt it imperative to leave after second caîl. A longer postpone- ment would be more satisfactory. (c) Not sufficient help was re- ceived for peak seasons, especiai- ly for tomato crop. No help was available from government em- ployment office. Men from towti, men on off-shift, older men, and students gave valuable hclp. 2. Will a shortage o! farm help this wintcr necessitate rcducing o! production? Specify in regard ta bec! cattle, hogs, dairy pro- ducts, cggs. Answer: Some thought there would be a reduction o! 25%, others thought less. 3. If farmers couid be assured of thc necessary help for haying and harvest, would more full- time help be needed for spring, summer and fail than is required for the winter months?. Answer: More than 50 % o! farms nccd hclp for ful-,time. Farmers wcre anx- ious to do their part in the war effort and if assured o! additional scasonal heip would do their best alone at other times. 4. If 'production o! specialized crops such as grain, fruits, and vegetabies, is the main activity, would farm workcrs be willing to do other essential war work in the winter months and return ta their farms in the spring? Ans- wcr: As mixcd farming and dairy- ing are engaged in in this com- munity this would not be feasible. 5. What resuits do you expect from the new policies in respect ta farm manpowcr? Answcr: If Selective Service lives up ta its promises we will be reasonably well satisfied, and "would-be cail- ups" feel more satisfied with their position as they feel that post- ponement will be granted repeat- edly and the repetition o! cail is mereiy as a check-up. 6. What are your recommenda- tions concerning measures for improving the farmn manpowcr situation: (a) by farmers on their farmns; (b) by part-timc assis- tance from city, town and village people; (c) by government action? Answcr: (a) Careful planning and co-operation; (b) Voluntary belp from town and student heip is much appreciatcd; (c) (1) Freez- ing o! present farm heip, (2) a plan ta cover farming, the ser- vices, munitions, and other essen- tiai industries, (3) in needy cases government subsidy ta assist far- mer ta pay wages. Judge: "Why did you strike and beat up this man? " Defendant: "Your Honor, he calied me a liar."1 Judge, ta complainant: "Is that true?" Complainant: "Yes, he is a liar, and he knows it." Judge ta defendant: "What about that?" Defendant: "Judgc that has no- tbing ta do with tac case. Even if I am a liar, I gucss I've a right ta be sensitive about it, ain't IV" CHRI STMWAS BRUSH, COMB AND MýILITrARY PEN AND MIRROR SETS PENCIL SETS 2.98 -11.50 1 .98 - 5.00 MIEN r m Devon Shaving Kit -----55C Ronson Lighters -----$5-$6 COLGATE'S SHAVE SETS 59e - 1.19 - 2.25 %tq*t4À Billfoids ------ 1.00 to 2.75 WOODBURY Shave Sets 29C - 55C - 1.10 Shaving Brushes 39c to 5.00 Men's TRAVELLING SETS e S 1.00 to 6.95 Shavlng Bowis -----49e-69c CUTEX YARDLEY SETS MANUCURE SETS FOMENAN New Shades OE 49e to 4.00 1.00 to 10.00 LADIES Woodbury TOILET SETS 29e ta 2.00 Cashmere BOUQUET SETS 29C ta 2.20 Perfurnes ----- 25e ta 6.04 Dusting Powder ,---59c-1.56 MOLINARD SETS min oveiy CHESTS ------ 2.50 te 18.00 CEDAR CHESTS filled with STATIONERY 1.00 -1.50 -2.00 -2.50 . 695 COLING'l S UlIlUG SOMU PJer Good temper is like a sunny o sim across the Tiber three day; it sheds its brightness every times before breakfast, what where.-Sidney. would you Say?"
