TWO BRIGHT SPOTS Two bright spots in last week's news were announcemente from our keen's Park and Torotito'e^City Hall tiiat Ontario will have la sarplus of nearly ten million doUiin fbr Uie per- iod of 1941 - 18i2, and swond that the tax rate for Toronto "in' 1941 will be 84.6 mills, lowest since 1936. Wtfh Industry operatinjr almost to ' capacity throughout Canada because «f oar war commitment, there is anore money in the hands of Canad- ians now than ever before.. Under such a condition, the temptation to spend freely is strong. After people Itave been pinching pennies and doing •without many things they would like to have had, tbe sudden relief from hard times tends to maSe people go to the other extreme and buy any- thing and everything. Since the Govenunent at Ottawa is shaping the economy of the country 80 that Canada's greatly increased industrial production will be directed towards winning the war, instead of making Canadian citizens more com- fortable we are told that individualp curb this desire to spend. 4.nd noth- ing will help so much to get "his individual co-operation as ttie ex- ample being set by the City of To- ronto, the Ontario Provincial Govem- «nt and many other municipalities â- which are practising the art of thrift. Western Canada, and strongly urged the farmer on the Prairie to gat into the mixed fanning flaM. In certain quarters of this Province there were some who were quidc to express re- sentment over the move which cut still deeper into the reduced revenue of the mixed farmer in Ontario. Such resentment is easy to understand since th^ Ontario ftgnQerilMs been having a tough^timi (<~'^i4l|Hng' the last year or two. But Ijir^abression of it does not ht!,n to sittooth over the division between the East and the West, nor to allay the feeling in Western Canada th^t his fellow, countrymen in the Ewi is utterly unconcerned about the problems out in his part of the country • where drought and dwindling markets have almost wrecked the rural economy. EDITORIAL NOTES As snakes have been reported in various sections of Ontario this month, it must have been the ghost of St Patrick attempting to drive the snakes out of 'Ontario that brought on the storm for Monday. • * • • 'V^^o says the mapje srup season is here? PUSH tMB WATERWAY While public attention is centred n Canada's war problems, not a great deal has been said recently about ' e St. Lawrence Waterway development. But evidence is cropping up now and again to support the view that proponents, both in the United States and Canada are quietly paving the â- way for a start on the great project. An international group of engin- eers has been conducting preliminary surveys on the ground. Costs have teen estimated and reviewed. A strong objection of the Province of Ontario has been overcome through the concession of water diversion in Northern Ontario. What is needed jiow to push citi- zens and their Governments in both countries into an anxiety to get the Sob done i» a shortage of power or a threatened shortage' of power. And we may soon be reading stories about such a shortage now that the United States will be stepping up Its industrial 'output to join Canada hnd the rest of the Ehnpire in defeat- ing Hitler. i It is just possible that the formal »nnouncement in Washington last "week that action it to be taken to Fecnre idle water at Niagara Palls for use in the Buffalo area may be a forerunner to a general claim of power shortage along the southern side of the international boundary X considerable export of power is BOW being made through Cornwall, Ont., to the United States from the Beauhamois Light ft Heat Company plant. And while Canada has yet to experience a sharp strain on her power reserves, a very little -increase In the amouiit of power exported to the United States might serve to awaken Canadians to the need for »arly action ak>ng the St. Lawretjce.

PATTON IN ALLAN CUP PLAYDOWNS Plesherton is being represented in the Allan Cup playdoiwns between the Marlboros of Toronto and the South Porcupine Bisons, the first game of which is being played in Toronto this Wednesday night, with the second on Friday and if a third is necessary, on Saturday afternoon. Eddie Patton, son of Mrs. J. 0. Pat- ton of town, is playing defence â- with the Bisons and has done a good Job so far this year. It is said of Ed. that he has more stitches in his head than any man in amateur hockey, 90 in all, but not all from Canada's national winter game. The people here will watch with interest Eddie's work, with the hope that his team will go far in their quest for the Allan Cup. The course of the Italian forces in Albania seems to be one of mountain difficulty. The trouble is that a lot of people struggling to exist are only struggl- ing.to outdo their neighbors, Mac Donald's BAKERY We have bought the bakery busineM from F.

The markeli^ek^ more hogs ai better prices is one oF'^^a most im- portant tasks confrontii^"^tK^ ]H>g industry at the present time. When it is realized that approximately one- fifth of the hogs marketed in Canada' in 1940 were marketing at undesir- able weights it is obvious that there is need for further improVemont jn this direction. Hogs of ^e right type and quality and marketed when weighing 200 lb. to 2lt) lb. alive, will not be degraded Secause of weight and should yield A grade carcasses, unless they are over or underflnished. Too many hogs are over or under- flnished or are /marketed at the wrong weights to yield premium carcasses. In -view of the great importance attached to t)ie marketing of hogs at the correct weight, hog producers should be encouraged to weigh their hogs from time to time during the fif'shinp' period, as it is difficult to estimate the correct weight at -> arket time. Hogs weighing not more than 290 lb. alive when marketed are not only more likely to receive the prem- ium on A grade, less to produce than'' eted at heavier weights.^ also cost 'mark- HANG AE EXPSiraB New Lodger (sarcastically)â€" Is , this all the soap there is in this room?
