McTavish & Sons Chevrolet and Oldsmobile FLESHERTON OriUia Has Tkken H.M. C.S. "OriUia" to It%elf H.M.CJ3. "OriUia," it slwuld be ex- plained is one of the sixty corvettes now being built in Canada for the Canadian Navy. She is 205 feet in length, has a speed of 17 knotts, and will be primarily employed in sub- marine chasing and mine sweeping. And OriUia, the town, gave Orillia, the corvette, a hearty send-off. Four of the ship's officers were guests of the "Orillia" Corvette Association at « dinner at the Old Home. Mayor Pack, on behalf of the mun- icipality, made the presentation to the "Orillia'l <)S a handsome silver tea servicft-/*!^ • a pair of massive candelabra. Wis gift was in accord- ance with the British tradition that the tx>vtrn after which a ship of the Royal Navy is named, should make a present of silver for use on formal occasions. The set consisted of a large tray, with tea and coffee pots and sugar and cream dishes in Rog- ers' silver. The tray was inscribed with the words: "Presented to H.M. C.S., 'OriUia' by the Town of Orillia." Each separate piecfe also bore the name H.M.C.S. "Orillia." Round the edge of the tray there was a clear space on which the names lof the officers of the "Orillia" as they succeed one another, can be inscribed for many years. This service will not accompany the boat on war ser- vice, but will remain stored at her home port, where it will be available whenever the ship is here. Lieut. Briggs, officer commanding the "Orillia," had mentioned that books would be appreciated on board. Within 36 hours, 360 volumes were gathered and delivered to the "Orillia." The next task of the Associates is to provide the crew with additional garments to protect them from the rigors of a winter sea â€" such as socks, sweaters, helmets, etc. This has been greatly facUitated by the gift of 22 sweaters and 40 pairs of socks from the Girls' Red Cross, A tag day provided $260.00 towards the cost of materials. It is expected that other towns will similarly adopt corvettes named after them.

Stress Necessity For Quality in Bacon Hogs Every step which can be taken to intprove the quality of bacon hogs in Canada will be of immediate benefit to the producers and of lasting bene- fit to the industry as a whole, accord- ing to officials of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. The urgent necessity for improved quality is indicated in a study of 1940 gradings. Little more than a quarter of aU hogs marketed in Canada in 1940 was eligible for A grade. Mar- keting officials point out that a iatuch higher percentage of A grade hogs is needed to keep up the quality of Wiltshire sides for export to the United Kingdom. This outlet for Ca,n- adian bacon and ham *s of the trcmost importance to Canada as well as to Great Britain. The future of the ex- port side of the Canadian bacon hog industry depends upon the quality of the Wutshires now being shipped to Great Britain, f^lndamentally, the exjwrts cannot be better tlian the hogs marketed in Canada. Greater attention to standard feed- ing practices and marketing at cor- rect weights would do much to im- prove the situation. Many of the hogs which were graded as B's might well have been A'^ if they had not been under or over-finished or had been marketed at the correct weights â€" that is, from 190 to 210 pounds. Hogs of those weights yield carcasses of 140 to 170 pounds and it is from such carcasses that sizeable Wilt- shires are processed. British buyers prefer the sizeable weights â€" 55 to 65-i)ound sides. If Canadian producers can demonstrate their ability now to produce hogs which yield the type, size and quality of Wiltshire sides which the British prefer, the chances of holding that market, after the war, will be prac- tically assured.

C, Muir, Ceylon, phone 38r3 29p2 (Fergus News-Record) Brief mention was made in a news item that appeared last week of a survey made by an American univer- sity, which showed that the up-to- date farm spends $900 more in cash now than two generations ago. Some reasons were given. The automobile makes the biggest difference. It re- places the driving horse which some- times paid its way by doing other work on the farm. The horse ate pro- ducts raised on the farm so didn't require any additional cash outlay. Electric refrigerators have taken the place of the old cellar or cave. Rad- ios, telephones and daily papers sup- ply the^ews and entertainment but cost money. And so on down the line. The old time farmer could get along with very little cash and save money. We remenVber reading in a letter by one Fergus pioneer that he used money for but two purposes: for taxes and church collection â€" and both were small by modem standards. The change is quite as apparent in small town famUies. If the head of the family made $500 half a century ago, he thought he wasn't badly off. He and the family raised vegetables. They probably kept a pig or a cow. Beef was bought in the winter by the quarter at low juices and all meat used in one way or another- Only the rich had driving horses, others could rent one from a livery stable for weddings, funerals, and such great occasions. Taxes were low be- cause there were no paved roads or sidewalks, water came from a pump, there was no sewerage problems and a dozen or so street lights provided illumination for the whole town. The town people were still close to the land and knew how to use it to make their dollars stretch out. Changes in the mode of living set up a bit of a barrier between the town and the country people for a while, but it was only for a while. The changes came to the towns flnt, but they soon foUpwed in the country. Electricity has prbably made a greater change than any other single cause. Rural power lines are reach- ing out, raising the tandard of liv- ing but also &e cost.
