GIRLS IN SHORTS BARRED FROM DANCE Allan Park Junior Institute started something when they refused admiss- sion to their dance at the Rahn-de- Voo on Tuesday evening, to girls wearing' shorts. The question of women's summer attire or lack of it has been causing a good deal of comment, not only here but in other towns, recently, but so far we believe the Allan Park organ- ization have set a precedent and something of a record in doing any- thing aibout it. However we give credit to them in trying to raise the standard of be- haviour at public dances, but we think the matter goes deeper than the at- tire of the dancers. Some girls look and act and are ladies in shorts or whatever type of clothing they may don, and others are not, and a gay ninety costume would- n't make them act like anything but street walkers. â€" Hanoevr Post.

Butter Production Declined in July Butter production in Ontario dur- ing July showed a decrease of 6 per cent from the figures for the same month in 1943,. according to reports o'f creamery instructors, it is announ- ced by C. E. T/ackner, Director of the Dairy Branch of the Ontai'io Depart- ment of Agriculture. In some sec- tions the drop in production is due to extreme dry, hot weather and there is still an urgent need for rain- fall in these areas. During July many creameries took advantage of the permission given to pick up cream twice a week and in these cases a decided improvement in qual- ity was noted. In most parts of the Province the production decline is ex- pected to continue in August.

Bob Banks, who iias been missing in operations ;)ver France since May 8th last. To say they were overwhelmed with joy would be putting it mildly. From the very first they had high hopes that :ie ivould be reported either as a prisoner of war or safe in England, but as the weary months went by it was thought there was not much. hope held out for his survival. From vai!.;us sources word had been re- ceived that two of the crew of seven men on the Halifax bomber wore prisoners of war in Gennany. Three were known to have been killed whe:i the plane was disabled from eneni/ action and two others were not «t- counted for. Five of the crew wera Canadians and two English. How Sergt. Banks escaped frtBn the enemy is not known, but maay fliers had been hidden by the unde*» ground movement in France and re- turned to England in various ways, some throug-i Gibraltar, but much of this movement will have to await telling until after the war. Bob will have a real story to tell of his wan- derings through France. Bob was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Banks to join the Canadian .-Vir Force and was the first Flesherton boy to take air crew, sei-ving as an air gunner, and when he was with the Halifax crew he was rear "unner, one of the most responsible jjositions on the plane. His many friends here were overjoyed when the news was received, as Bob was a fine young man and popular with everybody, who join in congratulating the youth- ful flier, who is 20 years of age, on his fortunate escape. It is flnnly e.xpected that Bob will be given leave to recuperate from his experiences and it is hoped that he will be re- turned to his home. Our citizens will watch for his arrival. Sergt. M. Lowick Missing Word was received !ast week by iss Tena Henderson that her nep'.i ew. Sergt. Morton Lowick was miss- ing after R.C.A.F. operations in France on July 19th. Sergt.
