Ten Wise Points For Wartime Use The San Francisco Argonaut, with typical wisdom, has compiled "ten points" for the aid -and guidance of the people of the United States during the war crisis which is now upon the world. The advice of- fered applies, we (The Stratford Beacon-Herald) think, with equal force to Canadians--hence the re- printing of the Argonaut's "ten points" hereinunder: 1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. 2, You cannot strengtlien the weak by weakening the strong. * 8. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. 4. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 5. You cannot lift the wage- earner by pulling down the wage- payer. 6. You cannot trouble by spending your income. 7. You cannot further the bro- therhood of mun by inciting class hatred. 8. You cannot establish security on borrowed money 9. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. 10. You cannot help men per- manently by doing for them what they could and should do for them- selves. F.

A Prize-Winning Clydesdale Mare 26-Year-Old Mare Outstanding Example of Show Mare And Successful Breeding . One of the most remarkable Clydesdale mares in Canada is Doune Lodge Bell Heather--43611 --at the Dominion Experimental Farm, Agassiz, British Columbia, She will be 26 years old on the sth June next aud is still active and attractive. She has given birth to 14 foals--nine males and five females--the last of which was born in 1942 when Bell Heather was 24 years old, At the present time, half of the 22 horses on the Farm at Agassiz are her descend- ants. She is an outstanding example of a succdssful breeding and show mare. In 1920 as a two-year-old she was Reserve Champion at New Westminster, B.C, and this placing was repeated there in 1026 as a brood mare, and in 1930 at Van- couver. When four years old, with her - first foal, she won first prize at Portland, Oregon. At the Van- cauver Winter Fair in 1031 she == won the Grand Championship. Offspring Famous Many of her offspring are fam- ous. In 1928 a two-year old daugh- ter, 'Heather Bell, was Grand Champion at the B.C. ProVincial Show, and again in 1930 at tlie Vancouver Winter Fair, In 1029, a son, Mac was Grand Champion Gelding at New Westminster, and a daughter, -Bonnie Jean, as a foal, was Reserve Grand Champion. At 'the Golden Gate World's Fair, San Francisco, in 1030, a grandson, Re- ward, won the two-year old stal- lion ¢lass, while another grandson was Reserve Junior Chanipion. Re- ward in that year won the Grand Championship at the Vancouver Winter Fair. In 1043 another grandson, Blue Bomber, was Grand Champion Stallion at Chilliwack, + B.C, while his full brother won the Swinerton Cup at Chilliwack in 1943, champion in the gelding "classes, Canadian Women's Army Corps. personnel are on duty at the Anti- (Gas Repair Depot at Aurora, Orit, wliere théy repair and check anti- "gas equipment to see that it is in 'perfect working order. and held a- figure--of--a-- . dition 'w may be [e1V11d G:F 18]131 0 Jolt} COUGHS -- COLDS BRONCHITIS ASTHMA WHOOPING COUGH CATARRHAL ASTHMA SIMPLE SORE THROAT DON'T DELAY- BUY A BOTTLE TODAY! OTTAWA REPORTS That Question on Subsidies On Dairy Products May Be Re- opened Before May 1 Protest over the failure of the Federal Government to continue the subsidies on dairy products throughout the summer months has been registered by a delegation of some 30 members of the Dairy Farmers of Canada. This group, representative of all branches of the dairy industry, met in Ottawa earlier this month with the Agri- cultural Food Board and also with the Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, and put their case in plain language. The Minister was urged to have the Cabinet re- open the question of subsidies be- fore May 1 when most of the sub- sidics noe heing paid on dairy products will be reduced. * * * 'Fhere is hope that appropriate action will be taken. Dr. G. S. IL Barton, Deputy Minister of Agri- culture and Chairman of the Agri- cultural Food Board, said recently, "Of all the food products needed urgently, dairy products top the list." The reason for this, he said, 1s due to the wide range of de- mands for butter, cheese, concen- trated milk, fluid milk and other milk products as a result of war. Canadian civilian consumption of milk. and milk products jumped 18% in 1943 over the previous year, In addition huge quantities were _provided for our Armed Forces --and for shipment abroad, while to- LADIES!

In the current year increased demand is anticipated while pros- pects for greater production are none, too cheerful. Information from other Allied countries, not- ably the United States, New Zeal- apd and Australia, reveals a situ- ation similar to that existing in Canada. It begins to look as though there will be a serious shortage of these vital foods in the face of critical need once the starving peoples of Europe are liberated and the Un- ited Nations are faced with the task of feeding them, in addition to meeting present needs. Unless the hard-pressed dairy farmer gets immediate and substantial aid, what's going to happen? * - - Oats, the most important cereal crop in Prince Edward Island, is liable to injury chiefly from leaf rust, and to a lesser extent stem rust. Department of Agriculture grain experts are recommending Erban as outstanding among the varieties resistant to leaf rust. While it is pointed out that it is resistant to only two of the many forms of leaf rust, these are the ones causing most of the damage in the Maritimes. Erban has no resistance to stem ryst but-is high- Iv resistant to both loose and cov- ered smut, and over a period of vears has compared favorably with Banner and Victory in yield. The kernels are large so ghat increas- ing the regular seeding rate by one or two pecks per bushed is advised when this variety is used. + . Speaking of oats, a new variety of "hulless oats named Brighton is announced by the Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. Developed from a cross of Markton with Laur- el, it is resistant to smut like its Markton parent, while in yield it surpasses the Laurel side of the family. In tests it outyielded Both Banner and Victory ron a kernel basis. It is also reported apparently well adapted to soil and climatic conditions in many parts of Can- ada. Seed stocks are still scarce but officials say there should be enough at the end of g¢he 1944 season for all who may be interested. * * a. ¥ Prices for seed potatoes this spring are based by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board on the ceiling price per pound for Canada No. 1 table stock in any zone dur- ing the period March 6 to April 2, plus a premium of one cent a pound for Certified Seed, 1V; cents a pound for Foundation 'A' Seed and 2 cents a pound for Foundation Seed. Why Not Turkey Eggs In February Turkey eggs in February That is the story of a district feed mer- chant who specializes in select pouls: try foods, says the St..Catharifies _Standard,, .. One 6f""his' farmer _customefs «presented him with a turkey egg the other day, and even the farmer wanted to know: How come? The answer was that the turkey had been getting the proper food, some of that which made the Leghorns produce an egg a day. On Canadian farms, for decades past, the turkey 'has been consider- ed a semi-wild fowl given to .the greatest secrecy in nest hiding and laying just enough for one brood a year,. Tlie young turks cone out in all the hazards of weather and, if the season iis rainy, the casualty itoll is very heavy. No special feed ing of turkeys has ever been felt necessary, on !the' average farm; 'they always roam far dfield. The turkey shortage last Christ- mas 'was just one of those things which intelligent "breeding and handling will obviate in the years ks 'to come, If turkeys lay eggs 'in winter, under proper there will soon be a turkey hatchery on 'a big scale, as complete a do- , mestication as that which applies to the chicken family, conditions, ' with THE WAR . WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events Axis Troops Pour Into Hungary And Occupy All Strategic Points Out of the welter of confusing and contradictory reports about Hungary there emerges this one certainty: Hitler has taken over an- other country, He has 'converted another ally into a vassal and is rapidly wiping out any distinction between those who hoped to share in his victory and those he has conquered. Moreover, he appears to have accomplished this new coup the same old methods of treachery, surprise and fifth column preparation that proved so success. ful in the cases of Austria, Czecho- slovakia, Denmark and Norway, and to some extent even in Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Yugo- slavia, "For while the heads of the Hungarian Government were still conferring with Hitler at his head- quarters, more than 1%0,0.0 Ger- man and Rumanian troops marched into Hungary with the aid and con- nivance of Hungarian Nazi ele- ments; occupied all its important points and commuuication centers; arrested hundreds of Liberals and Socialists, and rapidly crushed any opposition. Now Hitler is search- ing for a compliant puppet govern- ment under whose nominal author' ity he proposes to incorporate Hun- gary into that greater German Le- bensraum which is rapidly turning from a living space into a region « f death, says the New York Times. Hitler Must Hold Balkans The reasons for Hitler's action seems clear enough.

Rumania heralds the end of the battle of Russia and the beginning { of the battle for the Balkans. Hit- ler must hold the Balkans because he needs their raw materials, and in particular the oil of Rumania, without whizh his war machine would be in danger of breaking down. the Odessa-Warsav: railway by the Russian armies his main communi- cation lines to the Balkans through Hungary. Hungary was his ally; it joined both the Anti- Comintern pact and the Axis pact; it granted Germany military transit rights long ago, and it joined in the war against Russia with its own troops. . But, using treachery as a normal 'devi : of his own diplo- macy, Hitler trusts nobody. He does not trust the Germans whom he keeps in line by the terror of his police; and he trusts his allies even less--unless his own troops and Gestapo are in control. The German occupation of Hungary .is thus Hitler's notice to the world that he is determined to fight for the Balkans and that the Carpath- ians are his main line of defense. Hungary's Recent Growth Just what the attitude of the Hun- garian Government has been in this situation is still unclear, There are reports that it refused Hitler's sweeping demands and * has been put under arrest. That is not im- plausible, for proud Hungary has always been jealous of its sover- eignty. But that. does not absolve the Government of responsibility for the plight of the country. Hun- gary joined Hitler partly under the compulsion of its exposed geogra- phic situation, but also because of the spoils promised it. With Ger- man aid, it acquired the Carpatho- Ukraine from Czechoslovakia, Transylvania and Rumania and the Banat from Yugoslavia. The coun- try grew from 35,800 square miles, with a population of 9,100,000 to 61,700 square miles and a popula- toin of 12,700,000, Now Hitler is exacting payment for his aid at the cost of Hungary's independence. Again The Iron Fist There still remains the question why Hitler adopted methods which are bound to antagonize the Hun- gatian people. There can be no doubt that the Hungarians would resist a Russian attempt at invas- ion. Bit if they could escape an invasion- and get out of the war even at the cost of heavy sacrifices they would probably jump at the chance. There have been numer- ous reports that not only Hungary but also Rumania and Bulgaria were eagerly seeking a way out, . But after the severance of ' lead hese days, when tea must yield the utmost in flavour, quality is of supreme importance. Ask for. . TE AHA f TVoIcE PRESS RINE 'REPORT OF C.N.R. Management . and personnel of the Canadian Nationa: Railways 'are to be congratulated on the re- port on 1943 operations tabled in the 'House of Commons last weeks The statistics presented by the president and chairman, Mr, R. C. Vaughan, constitute a new high all around. After payment of all op- erating expenses, there is a net revenue of $116,140,000, or §20,484,- 000 more than in 1942. A cash sur- plus of $35,639,000 remained after meeting taxes, interest due the public and the Government, and providing $19,000,000 reserve for pension contracts. This exceeded 'the surplus of 1942 by more than $10,000,000. The unprecedented success was due primarily to the heavy traffic of a war year. It shows neverthe- less the earning power of the sys- tem when the possibility exists. Obviously expenditures were close- ly watched. Operating expenses in- creased by $35,476,000, while oper- ating revenue gained $64,961,000. The operating ratio for the year war 73.64 per cent, compared with 81.09 per cent in the most favor- able peace year, 1928. The way in which the railway systems have risen to the extra- ordinary demands must be gratify- ing to the public as well as those directly concerned with the job. A standard has been, set which indi- cates that only sufficient traffic is required to make operations suc- cessful at any time. * --Toronto Globe and Mail. and Russia's recognition of the It- alian Government, with which Hun- gary always maintained closer re- lations than with Germany, may have suggested possibilities for Hun- gary as well, Hitler, mindful of Italy's switch and embarrassed by the Finnish-Russian negotations for a separate peace, appi#rently deter- mined to crush all such efforts in the Balkans with an iron fist. Plan Frozen-Food Units For Farmers Ontario farmers 'after the war may' beable, through "quick-freez- ing" units at low cost, to enjoy in midwinter the berries and veget- ables they produce in summer, As soon as "the war ends, Onfario Hydro proposes to send out me- chanized units to display to the farmer and his wife latest electrical machinery and "gadgets" available, The plan was disclosed in the Leg- islature last week by Hydro Com- missioner G, H. Challies. Mr. Challies said the "quick freez- ing" unit was not a dream but had been worked on for months in Hydro laboratories to sell at a very low cubic-foot cost. Hydro was not merchandising but would pro- vide cheap power to bring modern equipment within the reach of every farm home. ; He knew, he said, of one unit al- ready in operation which could hold '60 dozen cars of "corn, six crates of strawberries, six crates of raspberries as well as poultry and meat. Through their use farmers could enjoy-in winter their summer surplus. IF YOUR NOSE "CLOSES UP" .
