No damage was caused to the house, which is owned by Mrs. M. E. Armour, 73 Division Street. RECEIVES SCALP WOUND An accident, reminiscent of pion- , eer days, occurred yésterday -morn- ing, when 'a tree limb felled by a forester struck six-year.old Bruce Marshall. The little fellow sustain- ed a scalp wound that was fortun- ately of only minor importance. Dinner Visitors The visit of the Attorney-General was purely a friendly call on the Oshawa-Whitby unit. The dinner was devoid of speeches. Accompany- ing Hon. Mr. Conant and Mrs. Con- ant were Inspector W. H. Stringer of the Ontario Provincial Police, and J. R. Cadwell, inspectpr of Di- vision Courts. Following dinner with the On- tario Regiment officers, Hon.

They were under the command of Lieut. T. F. Flahiff, erstwhile private sec- retary to Hon. Mr. Conant. ALL-TIME RECORD ENTRIES AT 0ROND ANNUAL FALL FAR (Continued from Page 1) crease. Only section not showing a big jump was the apple section which showed bad effects of a poor year for the apple growers of the district. Beef cattle entries were well in adwance of last year or any previous year, while sheep and hogs, poultry, dairy cattle and the special Holstein section were considerably up over previous years. Light harness horses were particularly good, while heavy horses and all other sections were improved. Many Flowers In the buildings the art, flowers and homecraft departments were improved over previous years, while the special school section was out- standing. With no school fairs being held this year, a special section was set aside for school entries from throughout the district. The grandstand performance in- | cluded the usual trials of speed, and attracted a record crowd that over- flowed the grandstand. Record fig- ures were reported from all gates and attendance at the evening dance was up over other years. Among the popular features of the fair was the square dance and old-time fiddlers' contest, with three teams competing. Honors in this division went to Cowanville, The Prize Winners Included in the winners in the various s ons judged were: Poultry and Ball, Newcastle, Barred Rocks; R M.

McKinnon, chairman of the War. time Prices and Trade Board, said yesterday. "The board has been studying f program every day during the past five days," said Mr. McKinnon, whose board recently was given power to control rents after com= plaints had been received that they were being unduly raised at certain points where the war has brought an influx of new residents to fill various new jobs. "A scheme of rent control is be- ing worked out applicable to all parts of Canada," Mr. McKinnon added. He said the board had not yet found a man for the post of rent control administrator. The board chairman said time had to be taken for planning rent supervision because it had been control is shot through with fine legal points posing a great equa- tion between tenant and landlord."

(57a) | The great | number Patriotic Dionne Quintuplets Do Their Bit; Sing For Soldiers, Give Red Cross Ambulance By WILLIAM A. BAKER, JR. Central Press Canadian Correspondent Callander, Ont., Sept. 20 -- The Dionne quintuplets are now help- ing Canada in the war, after re putedly bringing this country's tour= ist business out of a slump by means of a radio broadcast with their fam- ous doctor, Allan Roy Dafoe. "This month they are giving the Red Cross an ambulance which will 'be marked 'Dionne Quintuplets'" Dr. Dafoe said, "and they've al ready given the Red Cioss $1,000. "They know there's a war," the doctor added, "although we don't let them know much about it. They like to sing for soldiers in the gal- lery, and we tell them when there are soldiers there. Five Little Song Birds " 'Oh, Johnny' is one of the songs they sing for the soldiers," Dr. Da- foe explained, "and they are learn ing another song now -- 'There Will Always Be an England' -- but they haven't got it down very well yet. I want them to learn it right so I put them in front of the radio and let them listen. They weren't taught 'Oh, Johnny'; they listened to it on the radio and thought it was fine. | "They like to sing, and we like to have them sing, especially old- fashioned folk songs. One of them, Annette, has an organ---they have five organs in fact--but Annette goes ahead and plays for the others. "When the war started we had all sorts of offers by people in the United States to take the children away," Dr. Dafoe said, "These people didn't seem to know that we are just as safe as they are." A number of families in the Unit- ed States have offered to adopt the quints, Children from the United | States frequently write asking whether they may have one of the five sisters. Many American chil- dren request nermission to come and | live with the quintuplets; 'others | invite the quints to spend their va- cation with them. Visitors may see the famous little girls at 10.30 am. and at 3 pm. at the Dafoe hospital, just across the road from storey-and-a-half farmhouse in which they were born and in which their parents live with seven other children. A nurse always is with the quints in the playgreund, and frenquently their mother or a brother other sister is there.

London, Sept. 20.--"Don't worry-- they'll get it back!" was Prime Minister Churchill's retort when crowds demanded reprisals against Berlin as he was inspecting bombed homes in the Battersea area of Lon- don. Mr. Churchill was accompanied by Sir Kingsley Wood, Chancellor of the Exchequer, on a tour yesterday. The quotation appeared in the press today. AGRICULTURE IN WAR "It must be remembered that while agriculture is a vital arm in war, the full impact of the demand for farm products is not felt until accumulated stores disappear and production areas are restricted. Agriculture may be regarded, there- fore, as something of a reserve force, the power of which is not felt in the early stages, and the needs ' can only be accurately determined in the light of developments."--Dr. G. 8S. H. Barton, Deputy Minister, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. WHEAT SITUATION The situation in regard to wheat | Dionne's income from his was probably a few hundred dollars | annually. Dionne's only extrava- gance is sald to be a new high- | powered American automobile every six months or so.

They'll Get Candy Soon Dr. Dafoe recently retired from the guardianship, but as "physician to the quintuplets" his judgment is generally acknowledged and re- spected. He has decided to give the quints their first candy this fall, "We think it's about time," he sald, "but we'll start in very mildly." Quietly in his spotless office, looking out past ag modern Dr. Dafoe named the four things he considers most important in taking care of premature children. The | quints were seven months' babies. "Mother's milk comes first," the doctor stated; 'second, leave them alone; third, proper heat is neces- eat and moisture; fourth, if | possible, development of nurses trained in this work "Their good proper care and diet altogether.
