and during that meeting learned that a faithful few were having difficulty in handling the salvage because the groups who had promised in the past few weeks had not helped this week we heard from the red cross society that the workers had dwindled down until there were only about a dozen really active workers these are just two instances and the same is to be found in many other war efforts acton and district has up to the present made splendid contributions to every call not onco have tho citizens of this district fallen down and we dont believe they will now with victory getting closer every day it is a time for renowed effoint rather than a slowing down with german troops in dozens of countries that have been overrun and not yet ousted from one of their occupied countries it is no time to be slowing up with russia needing more and more tho supplies that the red cross can give and has given in the past it is no time to stop tho stream flowing to them anyone who thinks now b the time to climb on the band wagon and shout about victory around the corner is liable to be rudely un seated there can be no easing up until every german is driven back into germany and given such a trouncing that their squeals wont be hoil hitler winning the war is still our biggest job and a con tinuance of the tasks that have becomo commonplace and perhaps not novel any more is essential if victory is to be won salvage collection knitting and sew ing may seem trivial but they are mighty important this is a war of all people if you are not taking a part in it you dont deserve victory should fall aim continue if it is advisable for fall fairs to continue during wartime the decision should come from the provinc ial department and not be left for the individual fairs to decide tho provincial government which has had much to say about leadership from the dom inion government has however been sadly lacking in giving attention to matters on its own doorstep annual meetings of agricultural societies will be held this month at the present time little prepara tion or expense has been involved in connection with the 1043 events but plans will start to move from now on and a month or two hence the decis ion will involve ahardship with shortage of help and inability to get but ex hibit by farmers the point of continuing fairs be comes a debatable one from the standpoint of aj- tendance and gate receipts the present has much in favor of organizations that have had difficulty in other years the main point for consideration in tiie whole discussion is whether holding fall fairs throughout the province will contribute a greater war effort or have a tendency to farm op erations and lessen the war effort the change should be uniform last year the cne and the provincial plowing match did not operate if the decision is left up to the individual fair boards we will have as many decisions as there are boards no fair board wants to place the organization that has been built up in an unfavorable position with fairs adjoining whatever decision letit be all inclusive ln spite of the fact that the arena may not be available this year for acton fair the local fair is fortunate in having other buildings to take its place right on the fair grounds it will be able financially to carry on and could easily arrange an outdoor type of performance for the first night that would be different and undoubtedly be seen by a larger audi- ence with consequent returns v tb yonr cotsnjry and yotn we on this north american continent were per mitted to enjoy a christmas and new year time that was free from the horrors of war such a relaxation was not possible anywhere else there may be a tendency with some after the holiday period and with continued good news from the fighting fronts to let down on our regular war savings and the pur chase of certificates or stamps can you imagine what would bappan in russia if our allies said the germans are getting out of somo territory well take it easy if ever there was a time when we neded to go all out in our war ef fort if is at the present time increaso your pur chases of war savings certificates if at all possible gccmore supplies ready for the red cross because in all probability more will be needed shortly hang on to all the certificates you have cash ing in bonds or certificates now will not leave you with a savings when there may bo temporary idle ness between jobs in the post war period taking funds away from the war efforts will not help to buy tho materials that arc necessary to bring victory your contribution may seem small but keep up your regular purchase of certificates and added together they will help bring victory in war time or when peace comes your savings are mighty helpful both to your country and to you v a iint of blood or package tof cigarettes the number of soldiers sailors and airmen in can adian base hospitals at any given time is no doubt a deep military secret even though the cunadian in the armed forces is demonstrably healthier than he was in private life in o largo army thero is always a constant flow of patients in and out of the military hospitals tho average soldier makes a very easy patient because the idea of a nice clean white lied is a weary privates dream of paradise while ho is in training so when he is admitted into baso hospital his ail ment may be anything from a broken leg to tonsllitis he accepts his fate with some degree of equan imity however he goes on half pay from ihe time he enters the hospital and a soldier on half pay is usually a very penurious person it is here that tho ked cross steps in because tho sick injured or wounded soldier is the very particular protegee of the rod cross society each hospitalized soldier is provided with cigarettes candies fruits and writ ing materials once a week ho becomes a member of the red cross library service with a wide range of reading matter at his command then there are the concerts and motion pictures put on lor him while ho convalesces in a recent interview with private russell scott whose home is in norwich ontario and who is rc- covoringvfrom a kidney operation at the toronto convalescent hospital ho stated that in the fivo months i have been in the hospital the red cross has never missed me once in their weekly visits the christmas dinner they gave with all ithe fixings was just like the ones i used to get at home the red cross visitor also wrote my letters for me when i was too sick to write myself privato j p mury a french canadian soldier from nova scotia who is at present in the chorley park military hospital finds it very difficult to ex press his admiration for the red cross in english but in his own tongue he says the society is tres blenl no matter w hospital a canadian soldier may be in and no matter whether he needs a pint of blood or a package of cigarettes the canadian rod cross society is always at his servicer v l editorial notes

needed by great britain have again been brought to the gov ernments attention ty the ontario federation of agriculture among other measures the federa tion has recommended that federal and provincial authorities consider the possibilities of using italian pris oners of war upon canadas- farms tho united kingdom has followed this policy for some time the or- garilznttonnto wahts a clearcut policy

movenaant in tho years before the second great war tho cadet movement fell into disfavor in some sections of can ada where parents protested what they termed its military aspects and instead sought either to have high school corps dlftbanded or their activities restricted to physical train ing and games now the federal government has come forward with a plan to recruit 140000 cadots by the end of 1043 the appeal for cadet recruits tlos in with the armys decision to enlist 17-year- old boys for trades training enabling them to bo taken on strength at 18 with o backlog of instruction in tech nical work some facts about meat situation in recent months states the cur rent review of agricultural condi tions in canada customeni arriving at meat centres in ca cities have not always been able to secure the type of cut desired especially when the choice lay in the direction of beef and porkv much has also been heard of a beef shortage of restric tions on domestic consumption of pork there have been two main reasons for the existence of the socalled meat shortage the first which mainly applies to pork products is the fact that progre larger ex port commitments to the united kingdom have been in effect in each of the three- years of the war in the second place there has been a very substantial increase in i lie do mestic demand for meats this is at tributed to increased employment in industry with consequent increased purchasing power in the handii of earners there have nlwi been grow ing requirement for memlmts of the canadian and allied armed forces stationed within or near dominion boundaries and for allied vetisel tai ling at canadian imrts as a result there is at present n hilirli inruer do- mektlc market for imntu in canada than existed prior to the war thus it in tin demand which has grown rather than the supply which has diminished canadian farmers have miirkoled more hogs and catth and only slight ly fewer vrnl calves shee and lamlut in the find eight months ol 1942 than in 1041 and the average slaughter weights of hogs and beef cuttle have iteen considerably increas ed although slaughtering in the current hog year will run to nearly 65 million head or double the pre war output the huge bacon contract for 600 million pounds has taken to per cent of the available supply the restriction of pork distribution on the domestic market has shifted extra demands to other meats and drains on beef stocks particularly in heavilypopulated eastern districts have been abnormally heavy this has been further accentuated by a sharp seasonal decrease in late sum mer csttle marketings due mainly to favorable feeding situation on farms and to optimism or uncertain ty in i the minds of producers as to future market prospects within a few weeks marketings of
