EUGENIA Born In Guelph hospital Tues- day, July UUth, 1941, to Sergt A. G. and Mrs. Lawlor, a son. Congratu- lations. SITUATION IMPROVED Rural Ontario still has one or two complaints to make about th general wartime situation and its effect on the economy of farm life and the communities supported by farms, but on the other hand Ontario farmers have much more cause to be thankful than they had a few months ago. The grain market remains about the same. The supply af farm labor is worse than it ever was. Rising prices for livestock and dairy pro- ducts and the increased demand for these 4s doing something towards righting the balance between city and country. In recent weeks advances in price for bacon, supplemented by Govern- ment bonuses, has made hog-raising a highly profitable industry. The market ha- become so stable that the Government has decided to reduce by twenty-five per cent, the consump- tion of pork products in the Domin- ion, so that Britain will be assured of a full supply. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board is encouraging the increase in household preserving and the storage of fruits and vegetables. Commercial canned goods will be largely requirer for shipment to the United Kingdom and home canning will contribute to price stability in the winter months. CANADA WILL SACRIFICE The initial response of Canadians to ttie appeal, that they out down their use of gasoline and oil by fifty per cent voluntarily is heart-warm- ing. We have been hearing so much criticism lately to the effect that the average Canadian does not seem to realize that there is a war on. Charges are made right and left that too many of our citizens are sel- fish and unmindful of the desperati struggle which democracies are hav- ing to survive against the onslaught of the dictators. So that when we read that highway traffic has de- creased appreciably, thousands of Canadians are leaving their motor cars in their garages, that parking lots in downtown areas of large centres are half empty all this jut a few days after the announce- ment about the national emergency we can take heart. Canadians do care. They will sacrifice. The hearl of the Dominion is sound. EDITORIAL NOTES It is authoritively stated that cutt- ing the speed of an automobile from 60 to 40 miles an hour would mean a saving of ten per cent in the gaso- line consumed. The .speed limit, as fixed by the Government is fifty miles per hour, but the Ontario Minister of Highways, Mr. MeQuesten, is favor- able to a reduction of speed to 40 miles an hour, if this can be satis factorily arranged.

Al- ready fourteen certificates have been presented to wide-awuke people for reporting the license numbers of hit- and-run drivers. The giving of awards for the detection of hit-and- run motorists he believed a step in the right direction. He stated that people, both drivers and pedestrians, must be made more conscious of traffic dangers and of their personal responsibilities In the first six months of 1940 there were 249 traf- fic fatalities in Ontario, and in the first sjx months of this year HOB, an increas of 22.5 per cent.
