TflOHaTON "^S^^l ud PUOl'itIB V I ^^ Two Letters From Warden Boyd Warden' J Oftioe, Match :.'() Dear Sir,â€" I aiii jus .ii reeeips of a night lettergram from G. C. Crcelman, Chairman of the Agricultural Section, Resources OommiBiiou, urgiii(^ (in ac- cor'lance *ith proclamation of the Lieut. Governor) a war emergency session of the county council, the object being tte discustion of cooperation of all ;.ubnc bodies, essential at this time, lo produce the necessary results to lielp win thi war. In view of the fact that the people have not fully realized the seriousness cf the situation, and in Accordance with the proclamation of the Lieat. Governor the Resources Commission is endeavorinj^ to employ such means as will brine th« fact^ home to every British subject, so that every niau aud every woman will resolve and determine at this critical to moment do his or her very utmost to help win th e war. It, therefore, naturally follows that every patriotic man wiH get his coat otf and do all he can to increase production. The time is ijomewhat inopportune for a session of the County Council. As the work has to be done through the local municipalities, aud as j:he session of Council would cost live or six hundred dollars, I would £Ugi;est that tivo or si>c hundred be added to (hat amoint and distributed anions; the rural municipali- ties for orijauizttion ; that the Reeve of each municipality personally lake chari^e uf the work, with the assistance of any outside SDeakers he could secure, and that the local municipality be responsible for the expense, subject to reimbursement by the county at their discretion. I sincerely Itust the Reeve of every mun)cipali>.y will at once get right at this important wo'-k . In the mesntiuie I -A ill be governed by future develop- ir.ents and expressions from membeis of ihe County Council, and I would be grateful to hear from every nieuibct of the Council as to his opinion regarding holding of a war session of the County tVmncil at once. Yours very truly, -JOHN A. BOYD, Reeve. Dear Sir- -I am respectfully takiiij; the liberty of writiiis! a letter to the lieevo of every municipality in ilie County uid the Deputy Reeve in every townihip, wiih a view of impressing upon them tho facr, woU known to }ou all, that famine and world hunger are on our threshold. We who are respectively the doly fk'cted executive head of our several iiiuiiiciinl- ities should reali.5d uur lespousibilily in this very important matter. While the war m;iy not be won wholly by prodnclion yet may 1 suggi^t that it might bo lost by noi.-productiou, ly indifference or by our neglecting, individually aud collectivily, to do the very most we- can for the cm>e of production. Many of our sturdy soiis have Ijicn relieved of the responsibility of figlitiug in the trenches because of the necessity of tncreasins; production. This fact B!nne {â- hould forcibly impress upon us the uigency of the situation, thrill us wi'.li a dotermiuati'jn to t;reater activity that uur maximum power may be exercised in thir* great world crisi.s. I would suggest that you at once (if y ,u have not already done so) call a sptcia' meeting of your council, place the facB before them and oi,L;aiiize and imprebs upon the foople the seriousness nl the situation. Give them to understand the responsibility whtth rests upon them. The Govornmeut has made- provision wi;h the Banks, whereby those who hive the acreage and are short of seed can borrow money for that purpose. We should also liko to call your attention I > khe f»ct that Marcpiis Wheat can be purchased through our Aaricultural Kepreseiititive(H. C. Dutl', W»rkd'»li-), fro'.u whom particulars may be obtsiutd. Means shou'd bo provided through our organizations, whereby liiose who huve ni'i-e aereiige thar. they can handle ehtill get assistance so that every available piece of bid will produce lo its full capacity. The urban municipalities should also oruairze, and (Jiiiploy means of a-isistln^ und c r.opir'ilioii with the rural niunici|;al- itles ill si' far as tbi'y ciu. I would further s'.iiiy.-st that Uiu urban municipal- ilie.i , iH>iui iig..> lbs pro.iuction ot hoga wiihiii the r Bcveral nii)iiicipalitiu8. Evo:y family could at least inise a puirof ! pigs, i\a well as do their p;irt in having evory avai;*') e piecs o£ ground p'aiited ot gfewn with some kind of farm or garden crop. The Dominion and Provincial Govern- oaeots ire cc- operating and appealing to you and your asiistance, shall we not jrestpond? I think I can safely say on bcihaif of tiie County of Grey, that we will do our very best, i .ny assiiiance I can render you will be -cbearfully siveu, and I would esteem it a favour if you would report to me such progress as you may make from time lo tinoj.
