Kaitting, Auctioneer. Editor of The Advance; Dear Sir.- It is hard for a person brought up in Otntario to realize what it is to go hungry for any length of time. We take for'^graned three "square" meals a day â€" all we can eat at each meal and the best of food at that: only white flour for bread, meat every day, fruit freeh Or preserved, pde and cake- What would our f€«lingfe as fath- ers and mothers be if. when meal time came round, there was nothing to put on the table? What would it feel like to see children crying for something to eat? Yet, that is the position of fatherfe and mothers in Central Europe and in parts of Asia. In Britain lawns and flower beds are being plowed under to grow food. In India the vice-regal gal- den's have been sacrificed for the same purpose. In Crnada our farm- ers will do their utmost to grow grain or raise liveistock on chedr own land. But there are many farms, there i's government land, there are vacant lots in towns amd villages that will be growing noth- ing but wild grass or weeds. \Vhy not put it all under cultivation ? It cannot be done by individual's alone- It requires communal plan- ning and co-operation- In our town- shin councils and farm forums we already have the necessary organi- zation to plan and carry this thing through. I Suggest: 1. A survey in each township oi land that will not ordinarily be under cultivation. 2. Organization of men and trac- tors, seed drills and other machin- ery to put this land under cultiva- tion this Spring- â-  3. Payment to the owner of the land at a fixed rate per acre, and payment for work done, all at a low enough figure to enfeure that the crop will pay these necessary ex- penses. Anything left over could be divided, or made a money con- tribution to relief agencies. The proposed scheme would not directly help in_ relieving distress in the next six months, but it would indirectly, because the prospect of increased supplies of grain in the Fall would encourage the Govern- ment to release grain that would otherwise be held in reserve. And, in any cafee, the time when food will be scarce wUl last long past next Fall- Many difficulties will occur in one's mind, but none which cannot be .overcome by resolution and co- operation. We. in Canada, have had our land snared the ravage's of war- Many of us are better off financiallv than when the war beean. Whv not help thotee who oaid the price? Provid- ence is ffiving us an early Soring. Whv not put these vacant fields under cron?^ Woul-d it be well for farm forum's and township councils to get bu"" on this at once? Yours sincerely. â€"ANDREW THOMSON Card of Thaidcs Subject to the approval of the Finance Committee thirty liollars will be sipent in prizes for b^t ex- hibits, at a flower show to be held August 24th, under the auspices of the Horticultural Society.

Eleven years ago he sold to his brother, C- J- Kennedy, and bought a bakei-y business at Dun- dalk, which he conducted until last Septemlber, when he moved back to Flesherton. Thus, he has spent 11 years in each town, with the excep- tion of the period from last Septem- ber to this 29th of .A.pril. The Shultfe Coal Co- is one of the largest in B -antford and has been accorded the highest reputation for fair dealing, which helped to build the Company to its present pro- portions. Good luck. Ken!

Bates and Maddod f-UNlRAL CHAPWim 1?4 Avenue Rd. KU4.34^^ Group enrolment in the plan for hospital care has been organized by the members of the Flesherton Wo- men's Institute and already a num- ber of the members have signed the application forms, and others, not knowing much about this plan, have been undecided. All applicants have to be members of the W. I- for six months or longer- Further appli- cations will be accepted only at regular semi-annual a-roup meeting dates, as arranged by the plan- This is a splendid chance to receive hospital care at s nominal rate and should be eagerly taken up. Mrs. J. 0. Dargavel, secretary of Flesherton Women's Institute, has supplied The Advance with the fol- lowing information in regard to the Blue Cross Hospitalization Plan: Married women must enrol at the family rate and may include hus- band and children under 16 years of age. Women widowed or divorced may enrol at siogle rate, if no chil- dren are included on their applica- tion form Unmarried children 16 to 20 years of age, inclusive, who are not members of the organiza- tion, must be attached to parents' application. If they apply as a member of the organization a regu- lar application form must be su/b- mitted. Applications cannot be accepted for any other dependantfe or relatives of applicants. If you are not a member of the W. I., join at once and be ready to hand in your application for hospital care with others who will be enrol- ing six months later. Those who have benefitted with thfe hospital care plan are enthusiastic with its provisions. The rates are very low and the protection is high. Special "study shows that women spend half again as much time ih hospital as men. On family con- tracts the wife uses twice as much care as her husband. Where hus- band and wife are both empI-^-nd. the wife use's half again as much hospital care as her husband. As a man acquires a family he tends to cut hfs own hospital care to a minimum, as his dependants reouire more. A single man uses one-third more ho^pitr^l care than does a man with a famiy. Tho avofrage working girl uses 20 percent more >">spital care than does the male worker. With women accidernts cause 1 out of 1*^ hospitalization^, illnesses 7 out of 10- With men. accidents cause 1 out 5 hospitalizations, illness 4 out of â-  o- Dige'stive troubles result in one- i third of all men's hospitalization. I New Ration Books For i Canadians In Early Fall I Canadians will get new ration books ! early this fall, according to an an- I nouncement made recently by 0. W- j Rodomar. Administrator of Ration- ing for Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The new ration book is.bemg ' prepared now and is required be- I cause present ration voupon^ for I meat and sugar will run out later I in the year- Tlie new ration book will be Number 6. "Early announcement of the new ration Ixiok is being made to keep b?fore the public the continuing critical world food shortage and the '^ann'^^i niii't nl-'»- in helning to ffed the Starving millions abroad". Mr. Rodomar said. The same system of distribution used in the past will be 'set un to hand out the new books. Staffed by thousands of volunteers, distribut- ion centre'' will he organized bv the 627 Local Ration Boards acro!<s Canada. Recently the opening of The Sec- ond Session of The Twenty-Secona Parliament of Ontario took place in the beautiful and impressive Legis- lative Chamber at Queen"^ Park. From the far corners of our Province and from ntar at hand, the elected representatives of the people journ- ed to Toronto to play their vital part in the actual drama of government What is this part? And what's its "setting? The members of The Legis- lature constitute the voice and will of the people. Theirs is the duty to protect our interests and theirs the privilege to guard our liberties. Through their right to impose taxa- tion and appropriate revenues (rio-'it won and maintained at no mean cost down the centuries!) the lesgislatorfe of our province- in fact, control our government. At the annual session^ of Parliament they exercise this con- trol. For it is then that the members of the Legislature review the record of the existing government, hear, consider and debate its program and policies. It is then that His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, an integral part of our Parliamentary system comes into action and through it^ criticism â€" sometimes constructive, and some- times querulous â€" preserve"s the bal- ance and modifies the absolutism of the governing party- It is then our legislators function on the various committees and Da=.s the innumer- â-  able bill's which implement the bus- iness of the Province- ' Large Revenu«i- In the last pub- ; lished report of the Provincial Treas- ; urer, our total revenue amounted to j over 118 millions â€" no small sum 1 for Ontario to pay out of their hard earned assets toward the cost of I Government- For this reason, and I because Government reaches So clos- i ely into every aspect of our lives, it pays us to feeek good value in all our spending. It pays us to watch with interest and concern as the cur- tain rises on the deliberation's of our Twenty-Second Parliament. The House. The setting is one of exceptional beauty and dignity. One has only to enter the Legislative Chamber, to realize that it achieves completely- the atmosphere of judi- cial grandeur and ageless continuity appropriate to the seat of govern- ment- Located immediately at the head of the grand staircase and fac- ing south over Queen's Park, it is the focal point of "'Your House.' A truly noble hall â€" its crimson panelled ceiling lofty. The three enormous Romanesque arched windows which form the Building, dominate the Chamber on the south side, and are closely curtained in crimson and gold brocade. These and the Pre'ss Gal- lery, which is upheld by four richly carved pillars form the backgroiind for the Speaker's dais. Twin arches of great height and breadth frame the public galleries on either side, while the speaker'^s gallery, at the opposite and north end of the chamb- er balances the press gallery in beauty and desigm. The handsome woodwork which border^ the walls is cf Canadian sycamore richly pan- elled in mahogany. The Chamber is lighed most effectivelv by four huge and elaborate chandeliers of polished bronz, hand cut and chased. To the right of the Speaker's dais are ranged the Government seats in three tiered rows, to the left the Opposition â€" 45 on either side. The small mahogany lectern type desk^ fronting each Members seat are the original desks used at the In the coming session, be Irafted for first parliament following confeder- ation. The Speaker- "The Throne," as it is commonly called, is the seat of honour accorded to the King on the rare occasion of a royal visit, and to the Lieutenant-Govenor when he is present in the Chamber. At times it is occupied by the Chairman of the House known as Mr- Speaker, who holds one of the most ancient and honourable offices in our Parliamen- tary S;retem. .Actually the election of a Speaker of the Commons is record- ed as far back as 1379, when it was held necessary to appoint someone TO be Parliament's voice before the I King. The Speaker is still recognized i as "Firfet Comimoner" and maintains j to this day the right of access of the I Co;.imnns to the porson of the King. I r the House and represents it r>:- I ficially at all public functions. With- \ in the Legislature he is the iiidgp in ' any dispute which may arise. He does I not vote except in the case of a tie. and hi's defisions can only upset by I a vote of the members. The Speaker's semi-circular dais j and throne well befit the dignity and I authority of his office. The dais is I back by an exquisitely carved ma- hogany screen anl canopied in like manner: it reaches up to the center I of the press gallery, and is flanked by two carved pillars. Invertetl light- ing casts a subdued glow over the Speaker's chair and reveals the carv- ed mahogany plaque above it. bord- ered by maple leaves and enclosing the Imperal coat <if arms. (By Fevertham Reporter) What might have been a ^erioos fire, broke out Sunday fomoon where Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tyler reside. Mr- Rozell Conn was passing by and no- ticed the fire on the back porch ol' the house. The alarm wafe given and a crowd soon gathered to help extin- guish the flames and the fire w«» ^oon under control. Mr. Tyler had emptied ashes in the yard from whid» sparks caught the grass and the flames soon pread to the porch which was badly burned but luckily the fire did not spread to the main pairt of the house.
