to win the filth victory loan went over the top with a bang before the fall time had expired once again the boys over seas will be cheered by the news that the folks at home are backing them up there are no alibis and this district can put it down that not once has it tailed in any appeal to aid the war effort to every thing that was asked off it its a mighty fine record and one which every citizen has right to be proud off sunday morning after the remembrance day ser vice we stood on mill street as the soldiers and or- ganizationscame back to the town hall as they rounded the corner we looked across at the victory loan thermometer on the post office where the lights blinked on and off over the top remembrance day service of another war yes but there seemed to be a significance off special importance to those lights bubbling over the top on last sunday morning folks of acton and district had made not only par- ades and lip service in remembering they had done something tan gi bio abouf winning another victory remembrance day services are fine but if we only recall tho past and do nothing for the present it is indeed a hollow event but the lights bubbled acton and district had remembered and in remem bering had gone shoulder to shoulder with the boys again when they come home again and may it be soon citizens will have the right to march tri umphantly with them down tho street with tho assur ance that we failed not remcmberanco day was a memorable occasion so was friday when acton went magnificently over tho top v a 22word postwar plan as a most practical guide to all postwar planning the various organizations large and small which have been wrestling with blueprints of the new world we are to have after the peace might will ponder this brief note from one of montgomerys british tom mies fighting in italy describing his aims after de mobilization he wrote to a friend in scotland my job back the missus and kids in a new house and back at the dart club at the old mucky duck there are only 22 words irtthat postwar plan but they more adequately cover the subject than some of the voluminous reports already rolling off the presses even the famed atlantic charter hardly did as good a job until our postwar plans are reduced to the same simple and direct language of that private soldier who has marched el alumetn to naples then there is little hope for any application after all us this soldier so clearly states it it not some vague new world and idealism that the average man seeks but simply employment a better home and freedom to do as he pleases in his spare time financial post v youve been expecting thto because we have been advocating rt for years and more particularly since it is now impressed upon us most forcibly almost every day we seem to be ex pected to make some comment on highway no 25 more commonly known as the second line between acton and milton our only hope is that in that glorious period after the war and in the many pointed programs that are put before the electorate this but of road will get some consideration that will give it permanent surface reasonably free from bumps at least continuous bumps it was a farmer government who first promised toma i a p roadover twenty years ag a conservative government promised consideration and when a liberal government finally assumed the road from the county we had visions of improve ments we got all the signs off a highway tons of gravel and some dust layer but still just a gravel road surely it wouldnt be asking too much to have this long promised highway included in the postwar program or do we have to wait until wo all take to wings to secure a reasonably comforublo trip be d-milton- v caaadva national parka one of canadas distinctions is the possession of the largest national park in north america jasper park in the foothills of alberta 4200 miles in extent from nova scotia to british columbia in every pro vince the dominion government has wisely set aside 29704 spare miles lor scenic rccrcatlonaly and dis- toric parks and game preserves most of the pro vinces as well maintain provincial parks for the pro tection off wild life and as recreational centres the people in the vicinity are chockfull of en thusiasm for these parks but it is doubtful iff those who are farther afield reflect as much appreciation for areas which preserve untouched tho vastness and variety of the dominions lands as canadians we should take more note of such national possessions and cultivate more justifiable pride in them seven hundred miles of highway and 3000 miles of rail lead to and through these parks in spite of increasing travel difficulties the number of visitors to canadian national parks is holding up well in 194243 more than i26js00 persons visited banff park in alberta and figures for other parks are similarly impressive with the opening off tho alaska highway to civil ian travel after tho war there is a proposal to set aside a hugh area as a national park so that scenery and animal life typical of tho country may be kept as they were before communications made it a back ground for civilzation these regions are dedicated to the people of can ada for their benefit education and enjoyment they provide opportunities lor outdoor life and recreation as well as preserving wild animal and plant life in their natural habitat in addition they are an out standing lure to visitors and in normal times they are visited by thousands off tourists and nature lovers from every part off tho north american continent at the moment almost a third of the visitors are men and women from tho armed forces including many airmen from britain and tho other dominions v halloa representation in these days when there arc so many worthwhile projects that require attention not only for the im mediate present but in the postwar days it does seem a lack of initiative that halton county council should hit upon the suggestion that bringing more facilities for easy procuring of intoxicating liquor is one that would put this county on tho map we do acknowledge that we find ourselves too often in disagreement with matters dealt with by county council but we would not bo truo to our convic tions iff wc did not point out the hackneyed theory that prompted the resolution at the last meeting urging the establishment of a liquor store in halton more intoxicating liquor for those who imbibe too freely will not put any county or community on tho map in a good light no community surely wants such notoriety as will be brought on by having a deluge of intoxicating liquor at its door it is note worthy that the liquor store is proposed to bo opened in the county town of milton and likewise a fact that the motion was sponsored by one of the represen tatives from another community we too are but a visitor to milton perhaps the community where the store is to be established should have the predomin ating voice in the matter rather than the visitors postwar planning winning of the present con flict at the earliest possible moment a hundred tasks seem to loom larger and more worthy of action we understand the county council resolution was not a unanimous one we commend those who gave con sideration and reserved judgment on this plan of putting halton on the map we thank them for their representation of our feelings v editorial notes expert tells how to defeat war shortages dr dorothy taylor had iuk job of feedjmr uritabta saudi oilldren darin 1940 by aiklaitk keaw a r preas wrtter new york ci what

depended on them so wo gave them priorities on eggs milk and vit amin preparations and cut down on the rations of adults vitamin o but we had a great shortage of fruits and a consequent lack of vitam in c which required some extra atten tion especially before your lease- lend provided some orange juice we looked around and found that black curants were the highest source of vitamin c grown in england so we made a syrup of them for babies un der six months and a puree for child ren under two and fed them that then we found another form of vi tamln c in rose hips the red fruit left after a wild rose grows in hedges so we set tho children and teachers in the country collecting them every body else who took a weekend walk in the country curried a basket to ga ther rose hops and turned them in there was a big basket in the ml istry of health where we all dumped our contributions monday morning using that combined system dr taylors department underwrote the food provision for 3000000 english youngsters under five and thousands of expectant mothers by the end of tho year we shall have 1660 nurseries providing places for 6o000 children from birth to five dr taylor said they are all sub sidized by government nursery clas ses in public schools also havo been ex tended to take care of children from two to five from the hours of eight to five we took care of the problems of mothers with newborn babies by pro viding thorn with homehelps middle aged women who come to the house morning and evening and take care of the household chores and cook the meals they relieve the mother of worry on that score dr taylor who holds a doctorate of medicine from the university if edinburgh talks of her work with typical british understatement she never says i always says such and such was done her work seems her whole life after tho battle of britain began she dropped the eolf tennis and swimming which were her favorite recreation and worked bo hard thut she even lived and slopt nt the

warmth is feeding nnd the time of feeding nntuie linn equipped poultry with ample storage space which in cludes the crap gizzard and stomach tho gizzard with its strong must uhir walls may be likened to a powerplant it gonerates heat in the bird when the crop u full of reserve feed thus the bird is kept warm while the feathers keep the cold out but the internal heat s dissipated during the night and in tho cose of poultry not fed after 1pm the store of fuel is exhausted before the time it is needed most dur ing the coldest part of tho night in the early morning late feeding is a good system an example is quoted of a poultryman who with only a medium flock was able to maintain good egg production by feeding late he had no electric light in the poultry house but the hlrd rnmn inwn tt fwd hy tho light of a lantern late feeding of hard grains in conjunction with use of light in the poultry house stimulates poultry to produce more eggs more egg production is urgently required to meet
