This is the slogan jon Picture Indus- mpaign to stimul- da's future--with n he purchased at every theatre box office from the Atlan. tic to the Pacific from now until July 15. On Monday evening, July 185, theatres everywhere will have as their guests every person who has purchased at least two 25-cent War Savings Stamps at the box office at a special gala patriotic performance. For every sale of at least two stamps in this manner, a complimen- tary ticket will be issued for this show, but no admission 'tickets will be available * for those who buy the War Sav Stamps otherwise. joie Every dollar realized on this goes directly to the Dominion Government through the official agencies. Every ex- pense connected with the special perform- ance will be borne by the motion picture industry. The idea originated with the Canadian Picture Pioneers, an organization whose members have been identified with the motion picture business for at least twenty-five years. Almost overnight, it spread throughout the whole industry. Under the chairmanship of N. L. Nathen- son, immediate organization took place and within twenty-four hours of the first general meeting, the machinery was in motion. Hundreds of details have been ironed out across the country and the result is that this great industry, which touches the lives of practically every man, woman and child in the Dominion, is providing its entire facilities as a means of advanc- ing the sale of War Savings Stamps. The excellence of the investment is emphasized, inasmuch as the stamps remain the prop- erty of the purchaser as a stake in Canada's future. At the same time the purchase of a minimum of two stamps encourages the buying of a certificate for $4.00 for which the Government will pay $5.00 on redemp- tion. Farmers Have Important Task In the light of recent changes in the war situation, the role of the farmer in Canada has become increasingly important in the struggle of the British Empire against dictators. With famine threatening many parts of Europe, after farm lands have been abandoned and millions of people are locked in battle, it will be one of Canada's duties to see to it that the English may eat even though nearly all of them over there are concentrating on actual fighting. Farmers here have been advised to proceed with their work as in former years, but to bear in mind that some time in the near future there will be a world wide scarcity of farm products regardless of the ups and downs of the warring nations. Despite the wet weather which has re- tarded the hay crop, the outlook for farm- ers throughout the province is regarded as fairly bright. This is particularly true in Ontario county, according to the Agri- cultural office at Uxbridge. Pastures have been left in excellent condition and the most optimistic reports are forthcoming about the fine shape of all classes of live- stock. [ Editorial Notes al What more fickle than a day in July? Perhaps the days in June. Germany is now hearing some of the language she understands--bombs raining on Nazi territory. Wonder what this Finlknder came to Canada for? The one who said that he hoped Hitler would win the war and that he didn't like Canada? We thought we were in the wrong place on Sunday last. Street cleaner was sweep- ing on King Street East; railroad repair gang busy on Ritson Road North; factory workers busy in one plant. Great Britain is imposing a heavy toll on Italian submarines, having sunk thir- teen in three weeks. That seems like a good batting average for the men of the British navy and air force. Oshawa set up a record for number of week-end and holiday accidents. Fortunate- ly no fatalities were reported locally. The death of Wilford Lick, by drowning in Big Bay near Belleville, is being keenly felt by his close friends here. The Dunnville Gazette, established in 1851, has amalgamated with the Dunnville Chronicle, and that town of Haldimand County will now enter the ranks of a grow- ing list of one-paper towns in Canada.

CHARTERS "De-Fanged Rattlesnakes" From Hitler's Forces Who Spread Terror in Europe Are Put Out of Harm's Way Behind Barbed Wire Until Em- pire Safe Again 4 Somewhere in Ontario, July Here among the pines I's gions are camped. They came early Sunday morning in a driving rain, still. wearing the uniforms in which, a few weeks ago they spread death and terror through Europe. But they spread no terror here. They came . . . prisoners all . .,. §-1anged rattlesnakes from Hitler's alr force, from Hitler's navy.

Never again, while this war lasts, will they be free to zoom from the heavens up- on fleeing women and children, to bomb and shell hospitals, to tor- pedo little fishing craft, to visit flaming hell upon the innocent, and savage death upon the helpless. World Safe From Them They are safe, here in Ontarlo, and the world is safe from them. Sunday morning was dark, and filled with rain.

Out of the buses, into line, sprang Canadian soldiers, Officers strode up and down. Sergeants barked orders. Bayonets clicked. Rifles came to the slope. spread out into the surrounding streets, Inside the station the telegfapher, too, galvanized into life. His ma- chines clicked their messages in a Morse crescendo of sputtering sound. Officers bending over his shoulder heard that just a few miles down the line a great loco- motive was thundering towards them, pulling behind it a string of 16 cars, each filled with Hitler's merchants of death--defanged now, helpless, and harmless--prisoners of war. That train, the officers knew, had come from an ocean vessel port, where it had taken on its load from a ship that had come from Eng- land. England, it seemed, had better use for its food than the feeding of captured Huns. There were British and Canadian, and other Empire fighting men in that little island who needed that food. So to Canada the prisoners were being sent, where there Is food enough and to spare .. , . enough food to feed these hospital bombers and baby-killers and scuttlers who would terrorize the world. Rifles Made Ready Slowly the train drew in. Rifles came to the ready. Bol clicked home. From its many d0Ors more khaki figures poured. Bayonets gleamed palildly through the rain, Above the iron of English, gut- tural German rang. " Almost sullenly the Train-soaked coaches disgorged their Nazi load. German naval men from scuttled German ships and blasted submar- ines stared stolidly at the Canadian pines 'about the station platform. German airmen who had parachut- ed from their burning planes above smouldering Belgian towns fingered their scars as the cold rain hit them. German infantrymen, stolid as cat- tle, stared vacantly at the uniformed youth of this Canada whom they had been taught to believe would never come to the aid of England, and muttered their unbelief. As each ¢oach was emptied, its load of pris ners was formed into a column of \ THEIR MAD, WILD DREAM OF WORLD CONQUEST DONE, NAZIS 'JAILED' IN ONTARIO » beside .'a | smiling lake, Hitler's grey-clad le- | they were when British fighting | known to the Nazis, pulled them | blasted tanks, from the oily after- | . like goggle-eyed | rimmed round with tangled wire | lay fast asleep, its streets deserted, | Down | station plaiform, and in the grass | rabbit | day morning, with peace all around, | Out of nowhere, into the | buses | The lines | urs and marched away, » between files of rifles, When the last coach-load had been so disposed of the Canadian soldiers closed in on either "side, beforq, behind, rim- | ming the Nazi death dealers around with ready Canadian steel.

RIGID FCONOMY SAID ORDERED FOR PROVINCE Retrenchment Program Di- rected From Sick Bed by Premier Hepburn Toronto, July 3.--Acting Premier Harry Nixon yesterday confirmed an earlier report that Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn, ill at Battle Creek, Michigan, has directed a program of strict economy and financial re- trenchment because of war condi- tions. This program has been studied for some time by treasury officials, its inauguretion commencing July 31, when all financial commitments other than those essential to operate governmental services will be cur- tailed to a minimum. The program, affecting various departments, will be the subject of discussions before the Cebinet, call- ed into session yestsr'lav c- today, the acting Premier admitted. "It is my understanding taat this is the Premier's desire," Mr. Nixon explained. He said the curtailment to be dis- cussed before the Cabinet will have reference to various departments, but particulexly the highway de- partment, where any special high- way or public work expenditures will likely be stopped. What these will be is not disclosed, neither would the acting Premier discuss them. Cost of beautifying and lighting the Queen Elizabeth Way between Toronto and Niagars Falls, in view of war conditions, has been criticized by some members of the Cabinet This point is likely to be discussed by the Cabinet.
