That is why the Prime Minister warned Canadians in his New Year's broadcast that the year ahead demands more effort and more sacrifice. , Every man, woman and child is asked to lend. Every dollar you lend will help to put another man in a job â€" making more munitions. Every dollar you lend may save a soldier's life â€" help to shorten the war. Small wage earners must cafry their share of the burden, too. Buy WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES . Regularly This space is donated by D.

ARMY SCHOOLS WILL PROVIDE MECHANICS Desigfned to meet needs of the Military forces without, further de- pleating the supply of skilled work- era for industry, an Army Trades School with accommodation for 2,000 students will open in Hamilton about May 1st' next. Eligable for the course will be those who have first completed their basic military training and, who, un- d«r intensiT* eoursese in the trades fer which tissv' have been selected af a eivilian iMehnical school, have learned the Jandameatala of such trades. Already eeme 3,00S soldiers have commenced, er are about to oom- mence the |*reliminary training' es- tablishments. Before being admit- ted to the Army Trades School they will also have practice at a military training centre or unit. In the case of the less taehnical trades, only this practice will 1m required to complett training. The scheme is designed for the purpose of providing the army with tradesmen whose work is necessary tor effective functioning in the field. Mechanization of the armed and the development of weapons and equip- ment of a highly technical nature make necessary the employment of large numbers of skilled tradesmen to repair, maintain and operate the complicated machines, weapons, equipment and instruments of mod- ern warfare in all arms of the Ser- vice, authorities point 'out. $10.00 Pair For Bottle Of Pure Maple Syrup Mrs. E. A. Duncan of The Wiarton Echo, tells the following story in a recent issue in her column, "As a Woman Sees it": A woman had been visiting a relative in Wiarton in the prohibition days and had enjoyed the maple syrup which was in season. She decided to take some home with her but was unable to lay her hands on a container. Finally she got a whiskey bottle and the maple syrup was poured in and the bottle corked and. she put it in her bag. On the train en route for her home she went into the washroom and was gome some little time. Some time later she got off the train and happened to glance in her bag. There was no bottle, but there was a note which said. "Lady, my need is greater than thine!" and attached to .the note was a ten dollar bill. Pretty expensive maple syrup. Driye Comnwnces For War Savings Flesherton ia definitely ia the war this week with the launching of the campaign for the sale of War Saving Certificates. Britain cannot win the war without money, and vast sums of it. Canada cannot take part effectively without contributing fabulous amounts to- wards the expense. In the midst of a desperate war, Canadians are asked to save and lend all that they can afford providing the necessities of decent, plain living for them selves and their families. Five per cent of the average bread-winner's income is not regarded as too much to ask as an investment in war savings to sup- port the "country's war effort. Mr. S. L. Stauffer has accepted the arduous duties of campaign manager for Flesherton and he should have the backing and moral and monetary support of every liberty-loving and loyal citizen. Let the popular re- sponse be speedy and generous. The appeal to war savers is to pur- chase individually from one certifi- cate a month to ten certificates a morth which is the greatest amount allowed to any investor. The payment for a certicicate is not a gift, it is a loan at about 3 per cent interest. For every |4 you in- vest you get back at the end of 7% years, $6. We all know something about the issues to stake. As King George once put it: "In this war we are all on the -"rent line." In this campaign our sincerity as Canadians, as Brit- ishers, as lovers of the human race is put to the test. Many of us have no doubt been longing for some way in which we were really helping to win the. war. W have this opportunity within our reach. All that is necessary is to adjust our scale of living in order to have available the money from our earnings to lend to Canada in the form of war savings. Every certifi- cate one buys is a blow against Nazi- ism. As the Chesley Enterprise puts it: "The zero hour on the home front is here and luckily for us 'there is still time to act." We need not wait for a canvasser to ask our support, but can go to our bank or post office and join the Army of War Savers now and make sure that we win the â-  war.

Bellainy Retires; 30 Years Secretary of High School Board It was with sincere regret that the Flesherton High School Board re- ceived ike resignation of its veteran secretary-treasurer at its annual meetingf last week. Mr, Bellamy has been a capable officer of the Board since its inauguratioin 31 years ago, and has rarely missed a meet- ing. His long experience and fam- iliarity with educational and munici- pal law and practices have made him an invaluable executive and advisory member. At the urgent request of the Board, Mr. Bellamy has agreed to retain hia connection in an advis- ory capacity, and expressed his de- sire to continue serving in the cause of education in this community. The meeting appointed Mr. Roy Piper, a member of the Board and the retiring chairman, as secretary- treasurer, succeeding Mr. Bellamy. Dr. J. E. Milne was elected chairman of the Board, R. Allen as vice-chair- man, while the managing committee is composed of Dr. Milne, Mr. Allen and Mr. Piper. MILITARY SERVICE NOW FOUR MONTHS Replacing the originial 30-day mil- itary training scheme under the Nat- ional Resources Mobilization Act, the first of a four-months' training plan will begin about Mareh 15, when it is planned to call up between 6,000 and 6,500 men, and the same month each month afterward, according to an- nouncement made last week by the Prime Minister. Those to be called, according to present arrangements, are all young men as they reach the age of 21. There will be no exemptions, though postponments may be worked out by the Boards of Review in the different districts. The four months' period of train- ing will be divided into basic train- ing for two. months and advanced training for a further two months. At the end of the first two months those who volunteer and are accepted for the Royal Canadian Navy of Air Force will be withdrawn and will go to Naval or Air Force schools. The others will go to advanced Training Schools where special training will be given in the particular arm of the service t» which they are posted, preference being given as much to the branch of the service for which each would like. At the end of four months, and un- less the recruit desires to volunteer and is accepted for some active unit he will be posted to reserve unit and will return to civil life, being liable to recall if he should be required for service in Canada or for additional training. Snow Club Road Id Good CoDdition The executive of the Osprey Snow Club has been tendered some very complimentary remarks on the con- dition of the County roads from Flesherton to Singharapton, and the spur roads to Badjeros and Fevef- sham, from travellers and others who make use of them for motor cars and trucks. The contractor and others respon- sible for the maintenance work do appreciate this recognition of their work. However, on the other hand, the executive hais a. real task on th^r hands in financing. As most people know it is voluntary donations that will keep the good work up, and more funds are urgently required in the near future, so that plowing will not have to be curtailed or possibly discontinued at a time when needed most. Any person especially benefited by the maintenance of these roads are urgently requested to forward their donation to the treasurer of the Snow- Club or to any of the working execu- tive, as soon as possible. Lists of donors and amounts will 1m> forward- ed to the press from time to time. Following is a list of those who have already donated: McCoU-Frontenac Oil Co. J12.60; A. N. Brownridge $12.50, D.

Varying from 15 to 500-bed capac- ity, those hospitals are dotted from the Pacific to the Atlantic whereever troops are stationed. New Auctioneer in Osprey . Mr. Walter Seeley of Maxwell lips taken out an auctioneer's license for the County of Grey and conducted his first ^ale on Monday, when Mr John Poole disposed of his farm stock and implements at good prices. His many friends in Osprey wish him the best of success as an auc- tioneer. Aiken â€" Springgay An interesting marriage that took place in Toronto recently was that of Miss Helen Dorothy Springgay^ daughter of Mrs. Springgay and th« late Reubwi Springgay of St. Cath- arines, to Mr. David Archibald Aiken, R.C.A.F., of No: 1 I.T.S.-, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hedley William Aiken Of St. Catharines. The ceremony was held at the home of the padre of the Training School, Flight Lieut. H. Cotton, Servington Crescent. The bride wore a costume of powder blue, with Hudson seal coat and black hat. Mr. Eric B. Barrow, R.C.A.F., of Florida, and Mr. Earl R. Springgay of Toronto attended the bridegroom. Mrs. Aiken, mother of the bridegroom, who was present, has another son in the Air Force, at Manning Pool, and a third son is desirous of joining. More Than One Reason The admittance of a certain amount of food to occupied France, Spain and Finland may be partly political as well as humanitarian. There is some idea of stiffening Marshall Petain in his stand against the Nazi demands, keeping General Franco neutral, and to uphold the Finland democracy. If the Red Cross can distribute the sup- plies without letting them fall into Nazi hands the shipments will likely continue. Hockey ENG AGEM ENT The engagement is announced of Madge, daughter of Mrs. Lucas and the late Johnson Lucas, of Markdale to Archibald McQueen) of Paris, son of Mrs. D. McQueen of Owen Sound, and the late Mr. McQueen. .The wedding will take place quietly the middle of Febrnnry. IN FLESHERTON ARENA THUR. FEB. 13 SHELBURNE vs FLESHERTON
