season in peace or in war one can find much cause for giving thanks but as one looks about in this present year itseems that there is more than usual for which we in canada should be thankful true we are at war and many of our young men are in the fighting forces and in great danger but up to the pres ent the casualty lists have not been heavy and even the health of those in the active service seem to be rugged the levies of imposts necessary for the war chest are heavy but up to the present some thing is left over besides what is necessary for the comfortable life planes zoom overhead but no bombs fall in this peaceful land we have freedom of expression and thought the harvest has come and while not recordbreaking in some localities there is more than enough for all there may be cause for complaint of insufficient return for labor applied but after all there is some return and the freedom to go to another vocation without ques- 1wil yes looking at wartorn europe we on this con tinent have every reason for thanksgiving but canada must continue with every effort in the struggle ifthese conditions nre to prevail in our part of the world distances today as short with modern transportation continents ore not widely separated and so with the thanksgiving there must also be a renewal of purpose in finishing our task a realization that to keep our land free this world battle must be won for democratic people and the freedom of all to enjoy this land in which we live v bleeding the town the following editorial appeared originally ip the amherstburg echo but the names might be changed and the article made applicable to any community business men condemn the farmer who takes everything from his land and gives nothing in re turn in the way of fertilizer but that kind of farmer is on a par with the business man who does not tontnbute anything to his communitys welfare or improvement then arc sume men who saj that thr hiivin i hfi lime lu tsfce part in oommunu ount but then of course there surely was re- checking before this figure fra settled upon at any rate there was sufficient time for careful check ing and rechecking v another application for coaacripuon7 a timely suggestion is made by the windsor star when it says the government should release the patents which oil firms have bought in order to do away with new carburetors which would enable a car to go from 100 to 200 miles on a gallon of gas it is pointed out that the pogue carburetor in vented in winnipeg enabled a car to go 200 miles on a gallon of gas or ten times the distance secured by an ordinary car the windsor paper also declares man in that district took three different carburetors from stand ard cars built a new one took the car to a gar age drained the tank put in one gallon of gasoline sealed it and started out to see how far ho could go on one gallon he made not quite 140 miles it is not known what happened to his invention except that he doesnt have to work any more and seems to have lots of money the supposition is that the oil companies paid him well for the patent in order to keep it off the market thingsretliffercnrnow if the government can conscript men money and plants in order to carry on the war effort why can it not conscript in ventions it is not so much in order to help mo torists but to help win the war this is a mechan ized war the governments of britain canada and the other dominions are tremendous users of gaso line for their planes tanks carriers motorcycles trucks and cars if by forcing the use of new carburetors which have been invented the government could make one gallon of gasoline serve where it formerly required 10 gallons whydoes at not do so isnt this sup posed to be an allout war effort if there ever was justification for using every means to defeat the enemy that time is now hdw do we know but that hitler with limited supplies of oil is not using such carburetors why should we pour needless millions of dollars into the war- chest when they could be saved by taking advantage oxinycntions bycanadian v editorial notes the fall fair season is coming to a close and it was one of the best in general for years v canadas production of newsprint in the first six months of 1041 is estimated at 1621134 tons v all things come in due season and the rain of he week seemed to be pretty general and fairly plentiful v we can face any event with confidence as long as we do not face it with over confidence lord jqll eenshorough these are the days when every bit of daylight certainly seems to be squeezed into the hours set aidefor working v there will be better christmas dinners this year than last year and at the same time more justifica tion behind those dinners prime minister church ill v with another increase in the price ofgasoline it seems more than ever the part of wisdom to use less and put the amount in war savings to be used when the price will be better v cheques cashed at clearing centres in canada in august 1941 totalled 3150 000000 as compared with 2 458000 000 in august 1140 a gain or more than 28 per cent i v mondav is a daj for thanksgiving and truly we on this contirtent of north america have reason activities they earn their living in the town grab every nickle they can get their hands on but give nothing in return for the livelihood except criticism of others who are endeavoring to accomp lish something that will make the town better and tboraprosperoua thereisnoonekidi too bus 1 to do his duty towards his community look about you and you will find the man who is doing the most in local projects is the man whose business keeps him on the go all the time if acton is to flourish every person who is earning a livelihood here should identity himself with some local organization and work for the improvement of the town dont be like the farmer who bleeds his land v cheek and recheek burlington council feels that the dominion census figures do not give a true picture of te population of that town and is asking for a re- checking of the figures total value of building per mits in burlington for the first eight months of the year were recently published as

lucation- i n-wlncnwe-live- prime minister king has visited britain mr hanson and mr drew are seeing for themselves and the man who made the dare stays at home premier hepburn must have very urgent duties here in ontario v now if ontario really wanted to help in gasoline saving the department of highways might make the speed limit at forty miles per hour instead of erecting nice signs telling that the army navy and airforce need gasoline but then that would be an other law to enforce and there seems to be a lethacgy of that now v the story is told of a farmer who was in tor onto and saw a piece ofmeat with his tattoo number on it he found that the butcher had paid the packer 17 00 per cwt then he checked his sales slip and found the packers had paid him 10 so per cwt after deducting dockage of 2 50 the farmer got 10 50 for handling the hog for some months the packers added 60 per cent to its cost for dealing with the animal 30 days war 25 years ago cenuan submarine u63 sank six
