/ Wedneday, January 19, 1944 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE ASSESS IN SUMMKK (Chesley Enterprise) One of our Sullivan readers was in the other day, and commented on the proposal that the assessing be done during the summer, instead of the late winter. He sa ; d the tendency for years has been bo "soak" the farmer who tries to run his place well, and thought that the latest move was in the same direction. If the assessing is done in the summer, when crops are growing, the assessor is going to see the farmer who really makes a job of farming:, who hauls out tht manure and fertilizer, builds up the soil, eradicates weeds, has good seed and is going to be penalized over the lazy farmer who lets everything go to rack and ruin. Even the farmer who paints up and fixes up his house and juildings, plants trees and flowers, has a neat driveway, is going to be penalized because he has a better- coking place, which would sell for iiore than a place that is down-at- .he-heel and therefore he will be as- sessed higher ami will have to pay more taxes. Our friend didn't care much when the assessing was done, but he thought it a wrong system that the farmer who really makes a job of fanning should be penalized with a higher assessment than the Inzy, careless or indifferent farmer Also that the chaps who keep a hun- dred acre farm in grass should noi have an unfair tax advantage ovei the chaps who spend some time de their hundred acres to raise good crops. We submit this thought ,o Reeve Carson and his colleagues. STANDING TO JAN. 18 Won Lost Pts. Shelburne 3 Dundalk 2 Dundalk H.

Humphrey Mitchell, Minister of Labor, announces that recently an Order in Council was passed, author- izing the Minister of Labor to issue an order which will require all em- ployers of male workers to examine the standing of employees of military call-up age, to, make sure that they I have complied with National Select - ! ive Service Mobilization regulations. The term "employer" will include Dominion, Provincial and Municipal Governments, as well as private bus- inesses, and also will include farmers, | even where the employee is a son or other relative of the farmer. The order of the Minister, provid- ed for under the Order in Council, will, it is anticipated, be issued in the couse of a few weeks, when the nec- essary arrangements have been coni- l>letei to assist employers in making the necessary survey. The order will set forth the (lutes between which employers are to check on their employee*. It in the hope that through this survey any man who may be delin- quent in regard to the military call- up, will be located, so that their cases may be dealth with. The Labor Minister points out that no action on the part of employers is necessary until the formal order is issued although male employees should in the meantime provide them- selves with copies of any documents they need to prove that they have not failed to comply with Mobilization Regulations. A warning in this re- gard was issued by the Department of Labor some time age to mule per- sons in employment.
