If will- ing to conduct Home Service busi- ness while earning good Illving, LABOR DENOUNCES TRAINING BOYS FOR WAR WORK (Continued from Page 3) just s0 much eyewash," sald Dele- gate John Andrews of the Painters' and Decorators' Union, "There are all kinds of men idle in all the trades, and particularly in the building trades." The trouble with Labor leaders, he declared, was they were "too scared to express what is ithe minds and hearts of Labor." There were murmurs of approval from the floor of the Council and other delegates rose to insist that the Council give greater leadership. The president and the secretary re. plied that the Council's executive had always opposed and would con- tinue to oppose any curtailment of the rights of Labor. Delegate Buckley said that if young boys were trained in special- ized munitions work they would be turned loose on the streets as soon as the war was over and would not be prepared for general mechanical or industrial work.

It is a long time since there was a llvery stable in Oshawa, but I can remember being told how one livery stable owner said that when oats were down to lc per lb. he al- ways filled up his bins. Oats to-day are right at 1c per lb. around here. Yet when we here started to farm 23 years ago the day payment for help was $1.00. This year it was $2.50. (Look at the increase in the pay of the city worker in that time.) Thus it does not take much de- duction to show that 256 years of government help to the farmer has resulted in a wonderful profit for the city man. Now Mr. Editor if you want any more "enlightenment on the farm situation perhaps you can get it elsewhere I have used up a lot of valuable time so far. But no, a bit more; perhaps something that comes right home to Oshawa would not hurt any. We farmers are also, you know, open for "enlightenment." Around the end of 1938 the price of milk was forced down to the ship- pers to Oshawa 10c per can, (in spite of the fact that it cost more to pro- duce through the greater part of 1939); because "Oshawa was in bad shape and the people could not pay more." If I remember well the price was not reduced to the consumer. NOW pethaps you can tell why, after the iil having to take actually thousands of dollars less then, we have been unable to get a higher price for our milk? W) did not even get that 10¢ back, now that Oshawa is in "excellent shape" and the cost of producing has again gone up because of higher wages, (6Jan.c) and increase in prices of some feeds. SEND SOLDIER, LINDSAY MOTHER'S PRAYER AND GENERAL'S EAGLE EYE v 16, HOME Lindsay, Dec. 5--'It was the an- swer to a Mother's prayer," stated Mrs. D. D. Tolmie as she told of how her 16-year-old soldier son, John, arrived home unannounced and unexpected from active service in England. Major - General Victor Odlum, m of the 8 d Division, C.A.S.F., in making an inspection of a Canadian hospital, noticed young Tolmie, who was confined through illness. Taking note of his youthful appearance, the general cabled Ottawa to check the boy's age with the parents in Lindsay. The result was that John soon re- ceived one hour's notice that he was to embark for Canada. Tolmie na up in March at Picton and sailed for England in June. "I was only 15 years of age when I joined," he said, "but I liked the army life and persuaded mother to let me carry on." Glad to be Back He experienced many air raids while in England and at one time was in a building which was struck by a bomb, caving in the roof and killing a fellow Capadian. "I am sure glad Yo be back to a place where there are street lights he said. London and every night was spent in an underground shelter. 1 was glad to get back to barracks." "The people of Canada would be amazed if they could actually see the damage in London," he said, "but they would be more surprised after viewing the havoc, to hear the cheerful comments of the civil- ians. I talked to one Canadian wo- man who had been bombed out of her home three times. She was far from down-hearted, although she evidently had suffered great shock and was at that time home- less." Recalls R.A.F. Attack One incident outstanding in the boy's mind. was the witnessing of three Spitfires attack a formation of 75 to 100 German planes. He saw three enemy planes brought down and one German aviator landed in the Canadian camp and was immediately stripped for sou- venirs. While in England, Tolmig. won the C.A.S.F. table tennis champion- ship. At present he is on leave, still attached to his regifment and may continue in service in Canada. at night and no air raid alarms," | tioned with a Toronto regiment at "I had 7 days' leave in| Three Rivers.

I well remember when our boy left home to secure worthwhile en- deavor. Mother's heart was nearly broken. Today, much of that happy ar- rangement has changed. It isn't that children no longer want to re- main where they belong, where their lifelong friends are. It's a matter of opportunity to make a living and find a place in the busi- ness world. Today, young men and women In search of livilihood and a nich in the affairs of business have found it an economic necessity to go where opportunity kons. They must find their jobs in thriving commune ities, in cities where industrial ac- tivity offers opportunity for profit- able service. They may want to stay at home, but they can't do it un- less home offers a job and an in- come. When you patronize home indus- tries, you are insuring the future of your family. You're helping local industry employ more people who spend more money in the city and enable local merchants to employ more people, and it all adds up to this: you're helping yourself and your own family. Don't feel that you need to pa- tronize local industries because of any clvic loyalty. You owe it to yourself to buy locally produced merchandise whenever and where- ever you can, purely from a self- fish standpoint. Every time you buy something that has been produced here, feel that you are showing shrewd business judgment. You're spending money that can't help meking Toronto a better community for you and every member of your family. If your city prospers, you'll share in the good fortune. If your community--the commun- ity in which you live is prosperous --you can't help but_ share in fits immediate benefits. To make your community prosperous you must necessarily patronize the merchants in your own locality. As a result of you being where you are, the mer- chants are where they are--there to service you. Think of your mer- chant and the merchant will build your community for you. Spend freely this Christmas-- buy as you have never bought be- fore. Buy British. Help win the war by so doing. LONDON GAN TAKE IT CROWD PROVES (Continued from Page 1) stood firm and the party of aviators went elsewhere for their evening's entertainment. Recently the town -had its first air raid and a bomb fell on that same hotel. North country folk be- lieve they know the name of the Nazi who dropped it. Bert Smith received a night off from his duties as member of a stretcher party and went home to ducers taking less by thousands of dollars for their milk NOW than in 1938; with the very high wages and number employed there are now in Oshawa. Perhaps you can enlighten us on this matter. But to enlighten the people of Oshawa on the farm- ers' position; after, of course, you know something about it, would be of considerable benefit to the com- munity as a whole, T would think. * Yours respectfully, see his wife and two daughters. Raiders passed overhead and a bomb wrecked his own and several nearby houses. None of the Smith family was injured, but Bert spent the rest of the night helping to extricate dead and wounded from the other houses. A temporary bridge with steel stanchions and timber facings and tops Is being built over a large bomb crater in one of London's thorough- fares. When the bridge is completed it will carry two single lines of traf- fic over the crater and still leave room for repair work to continue underneath. The pilot of a Messerschmitt 109 shot down by Spitfires at Birming- ton, Kent, balled out at 400 feet and lived to tell the tale. His fall was broken when he crashed into a leafy tree and he received only a cut face.

His saga of adventure has one blet on it--he left the Signals for the Scandinavian wars without per- mission. It's a cardinal sin in the army but his fighting record was 80 good that he was pardoned after being court martialled on his re- turn to England, Thatcher became an expert skier on the twisting trails of the Gati- neau Hills north of Ottawa and in Finland he was with the ghest pa- trols of skiers who harried Russian columns for weeks. From Pinland he moved to Norway and after tak- ing part in several important en- gagements was captured: by the Germans and imprisoned in Oslo, Then he escaped with some British soldiers. J ! "We shet our way out.of that pri- son," said Thatcher, relating his story as calmly as if it were a prac- tice manoeuvre with the Canucks in England. "The Nazis foolishly fail ed to search us completely and we carried revolvers in our knee-high Russian boots which they didn't take away from us. After we got cut, we wandered about for a while and then we were evacuated by a British destroyer. «Now Thatcher is back with the signals, filled with a soldier of fore tune's zeal for another scrap.
