the comparatively lei surely way of doing business on main street is not inefficient they rarely realize that the merchant wouldnt sell a nlckles worth if he did not take time to manifest his genuine interest in the state of his cusomers family garden nnd health the main street community is quite unconscious of class distinctions as the world knows them all classes rich nnd poor are nccepted into

have something behind them which no city dweller can fathom the main streeters in his majestys forces know their personal sacrifices are apprec iated in the home town that their places will not be filled in a month or even a year and that in case they fall to return main street will grie ve and in its heart will never cease to mourn the sons forever gone main street is the very hub of dem ocracy the essence of what the un ited nations are defending that is good and simple and if its steadfast heart should rver cease to beat the freedom we claim for canada would be a dead and lifeless

these diseases are all avoidable they can all be prevented and they can all be eliminated science can however make little prdgress without the pop ular support and popular support will- not be forthcoming without popular understanding i warmly commend the health league of canada lji its praiseworthy efforts to provide that understanding whereby thousands of young can adian boys and girls may be saved from becoming the victims of wholly preventable maladies it happened again yes sir or madam i never knew it to fall as sure as i start housecleanlng in either the kitchen pantry or dining room the minister tomes to call this time it was the pantry fri day being a cold dreary sort of day x thought a little really active work might be a better foot wanner than sitting by the are and there mas the pan try just about shouting to be cleaned so i went at it but you know how it is with a pantry it is just about the worst thing tliero u for cluttering up the place things just go where you can find a place for them just so long as you get litem out of j he way and have room to work i got along one in the forenoon and then after dinner i went at it again and was busy on thr- second half of the celling when there was a tinkle on the door bell 1 was so taken by surprise t nearly fell off the table on which i wa standing x had neither seen nor heard a car come in and had no idea who our visitor might be therii went to the door and there was our rector on the step well the livingroom fire was out we have to save on fuel you knov so there was only one place to re ceive him and that was in the dining room with its overflow from the pan try however i told him if he could stand the muddle then i could so we left it at that but no that wasnt all partner saw the car in the lane and thought it was our worthy editor on one of his flying visits so pait- ner came in through the kitchen ready with some quip or other as a greeting and then he came into the rooom and saw who our visitor really was it was just too funny to see partners expression change however in spite of housccleanlng complications and mistaken identity we did have a splendid visit with our rector and that after all was the important thing even if i did have to finish the pantry after supper partner stayed in the house all the time and then at supper time he came in nnd said rather glumly it just seems that if i take an hour or two off once in a while something always goes wrong whats the matter how i nwked oh it looks as if elmer has got away some place which reminds mo i dont think i over introduced you to elmer did i of course you have heard of elsie the cow havent you well this isnt a cow so wo call him elmer nnd hos not much more than a year ling apparently while partner was in the house elmer thought it was it krnnd opportunity to go over to tho next arm and visit his girl friends and once having made up his mind little thing like a fence wasnt going to stop him it was too dark that night to find him hut the next day partnor got him home and now he is tied up in the stable poor elmer his freedom was of short dur ation you never know what cattle ore up to these days now that- crops are off most of the young cattle and dry cows have the run of the farm one day partner saw n train along the track back of our place nnd the whistle was blowing like a fire siren and the train would stop and start and stop again partner kept watch ing and presently he saw something moving and he guessed then that someones cattle were on the track we hoard afterwards that one of the cows was killed poor bosslc it was too bad for her and too bad for he owner and nlso for a number of milk consumers because in a few wcuxt bossie would have had a calf find would have tilled a good many milk bottles every day well i see it is nearly midnight is i ciiebti ill call it a day and go to bed partnor has been there some time but then as he tells me he has work to do tomorrow maybe i havent rationing and warwinning there is continuous grousing not j of it unjustified about certain rationing regulations the necessity or equit of whic fire service men challenge dath london cp the story of a group of national fire service men daring death throughout a whole night to right a fire in a 50ton tank of sulphur at a north of england gas works has been released for publi cation having been held up for secur ity reasons since the night of august 2122 equipped with special apparatus to breath through the choking fumes they showed the highest courage and gallantry in fighting the blaze for nearly 13 hours and finally extingu ishing it said the official report a shuttle transport service woe organized to obtain oxygen from a local firm to maintain a supply in the breathing apparatus the surround ing district was cleared because of the danger of explosion which the men faced unflinchingly through the time the fire was burning nt to a good many people evaft some of the rationing officials them selves do not seem to understand why certain provisions are in effect and privately at least they may be willing to concede that they could be withdrawn without much harm being done the nations war effort espec ially since there is no disposition on the part of the wartime prices and trade board even to attempt to en force them the fact however that petty irrita tions of this nature remain in effect and still await that honsecleanlng jot government orders which said to be under way in ottawa does not alter the fact that the rationing regulations on the whole have been wisely draft ed and that the principle of rationing now being gradually extended until it embraces more and more commod ities is absolutely esentlal if the reas onable requirements of the civilian consumer are to be met after the de mands of the armed forces and other vital users have been filled the toronto better business bur- eau regards consumer rationing as of such absolute necessity in time of war that it has produced a special circul ar relating to that subject and its con clusions are worth reproduction this war has not only to be won but we hiuit endeavor to win it at the earliest possible moment the rationing regulations that have been put into effect have not been institut ed or enforced without the most care ful consideration of and for all con- cerned therefore it is up to each and every one of us to make these re gulations effective ho that everyone will have enough for health and eff iciencyincluding the armed forces our merchant marine our munition workers nnd the everyday civilian who hnd his job to do too it hi well for us to keep in mind that in n brond sense wrmnal ttcif- ithncmt or thoughtlesuuietu will only prolong the war ns well as contrib ute to a greater loss of canadian lives by hamiwrlng our civilian effort low ering morale citeournjilni defeatism anil rendering more difficult the equi pment of the men who fight our lint- tics those who have leen entrusted with the compiling issuing nnd the enforcement of our rationing regul ations deserve the wholehearted co operation of the entire imputation of this great dominion of ours if these reglllntlonk were not ahsolutely necessary we would not have them so lets all work together to make them loo effective if the average consumer will bear these facts in mind and it must bo remomltered that they nrehelng put forward by nu independent organl at ion of buulneks menhe will accept rationing ns it now exists as it mny further be expanded before the clou of the war in that kplrlt of
