THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE â-  â€" â€" â€" I â€" â€" ^â€" iiâ€" CAMPAIGN OVER THE TOP Flejherton should be proud of their effort in the recent 'War Savings Cer* tificates compaign completed last week in the village. Forty-one per cent more than the objective of sixty signers pledged themselves to the purchase of War Savings Certifi- cates to assist in the conduct of the war and help defeat Germanism from reaching the British Isles and then Canada. Flesherton's effort has been more than satisfactory in our mind since studying the returns made to headquarters on Friday and which were received in this oflfice Monday. In Grey County seven centres report- ed as follows: Chatsworth l5 signers, Dundalk 86, Durham 621, Hanover 967, Meaford 491, Owen Sound 3,076, Fleiberton 88, with four centres un- reported. In comparison Shelbume had 66 and Grand Valley and East Lather had 80. It will thus be seen that Flesherton has gone full out in pledging herself to the campaign and the citizens should be proud of the effort. THEY KNEW NOT Recently a survey was made of the members of AUiston entrance class as to who could write the Lord's Prayer correctly and the Alliston Herald commented on the small num- ber who did 80 auccessfuly. The Creemore Star carried It on and in one room of the Creemore school the pupils were asked to write out th( Lord's Prayer and the other room the Ten Commandments. The Star says: "We did have the results but they were so bad that we purposely discarded them in disgust. The point now to consider is who is to blame for this evident lack of religious knowledge? We would say the par- ents of the children have been decid- edly negligent, and as a parent we assess ourselves accordingly. There are four Sunday Schools in Creemore and every child should be enrolled at one of them. If they were, we are confident such a report as has come to us from the teachers in our school would be more encouraging. A 12- year-old child who cannot say the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Command- ments is Illiterate in the fundament- als of Christian teachings. We are sending missionaries to China and other countries to teach so-called heathens. How about doing a little missionary work at home?" We wonder how the pupils in the Flesherton Public School would make out on the same test? DEAL OUT JUSTICE EJvents have moved fast during the past week and the German armies have now entered Bulgaria and are now at the gates of Turkey and Greece. It Is not supposed that Hitler and his armies will stop short of an attempt to invade these two countries, whirh ha\e the support of Great Britain in their defance. It will be a miracle if the Germans do not overplay their hand and jflnd themselves in a nest of trouble. We do not know what the tactical scheme of Britain is, but we do know that with Hitler's armies streaming over Europe they will have a more difficult time defending themselves when BriUin Ukes the initiative and when the soldiers are taken from the countries they have invaded. The down-trodden people will rise up in their wrath and bring the Naei rule and dominance to an end and assist in ridding the world of its menace to freedom and happiness. We can Just wait and watch and do everything in our power to ensure the construction of the units of war needed so that when the time comes we may be ready to act swiftly and deal out the justice required to bring the de- spot to his knees. MAY BE URGENTLY NEEDED The Ontario Pren\i^'^ - announce- ment that the Agricultural College at Guelph would be doted on May first came as a surprise to many in the province. No sooner had. the announcement been made, than ob- jections arose from the Conservative opposition and from various sections of the agricultural community. It is just possible that this move may partially counteract the favorable opinion towards Mr. Hepburn and his government generated by his decis- ion to pay a provincial cheese bonus, The Ontario farmer has been shaken considerably by circumstances and decisions which have worked against his interest in the past months. It is unlikely that he will take kindly to the removal of the institution which has done more, perhaps, than any other agency to improve his lot. On the other hand, accommodation for all the extra war sei-vices which the Dominion Government is setting up is becoming harder and harder to find. Subsequent event* may prove that the O.A.C. buildmgs were need- ed more urgently for war purposes than they were for the farmers of Ontario. EDITORIAL NOTES March came in like a Iamb. Will it go out like a lion? * • • • The long days now bring forth colder nights. Each year as the days grow longer lower tempera- tures are prevalent through February and March. • • • • A few years ago heated arguments were heard denouncing the amount of advertising allowed on the Canadian radio program and an attempt viras made to limit the time. Lately it seems as though more advertising time was creeping into the programs and comment has been made to us on this matter at different times. * • • * We understand that two of the Markdale buildings destroyed by fire recently will not be rebuilt. It is a great loss to a village to lose some of its business buildings by fire and fail to have them erected again. Time may change the decision or some public spirited citizen may secure the property and erect a building thereon, but we surmise that the cost would be greater than the returns from rent would warrant. It is a problem that most places have to face at aome time in their history. • • • • Some persons are suggesting that daylight saving be observed all over Canada in place of those centres that are an hour faster during the sum- mer and automatically continued by government decree, as a saver of electricity needed tor manufactur- ing of war supplies. This action would defeat the original aim. At present the centres having daylight- saving go off the peak load when other centres are coming on and a saving of electricity is thus a fact. If the peak load included all centres there would not be any saving and all centres could go back to standard time. Overstayâ€" Goodness, is that clock right Sallyâ€" Oh, no. That's the one we always call "The Visitor." Overstayâ€" "The Visitor? What a curious name to give a clock." Sally (subtly)â€" We call it that be- cau.se we can never make it go.

VICTORIA CORNERS (Intended for Last Week) The young people of the commun- ity met on Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bedley. The evening consisted of games and social chat, with a program of com- munity singing, led by Mr. Chas. Hamilton with his violin, and also other musical selections by him. Rec- itations were given by Christina Duncan and Marjory Jackson. Songs by Bill Batchelor and a splendid patriotic number by Joyce, R. J., Gerald, Douglas, Jas. and Paul Pat- terson. Mrs. Edith Hall and Donna of Owen Sound visited her sister, Mrs. Russell Linton. Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Killins and Chas. Moore of Smithville and Ted Moore of Toronto visited the latters' homes over the week end. About a generation or so ago the young people of the neighborhood used to sleigh ride on Moore's hill and the merry peel of their joyous laughter rang out over the country- side. For a few years the popular- ity of the place has waned, but tiiis winter has again revived with ski- ing parties. Kae Bannon and a couple of girl friends, Toronto, and Jack Spiers of Trenton visited at the home of Mr. Milton Bannon. Mr. Robt. Fisher, who has been ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs Chas.

BOOTS FOR THE WAR Britain's sole leather tanners in- creased their output last year by almost one half in oider to maintain the snpply of 400,000 pairs of boots a week for the Services. There was at no time any shortage either of these; of boots and shoes for the home market and for overseas; or of leather for export. Sixty per cent of British sole leather is tanned from imi>orted hides. Last year they were safely shipped to Britain from more than sixty overseas ports. Large consignments were received from the Empire which, it is estim- ated, possesses forty per cent of the world's livestock and from the Argw entine, where there are nsoally <tO,- 000,000 cattle on the hoof. The war time aehievement of in« creasing by fifty per cent the sole leather produced from the raw hides was brought abont partly by intent ifying the methods of prodnetion and partly by a scheme for regnlatfait ahead the probable demand. As a result of the increase export licenses are now being granted for British sole leather made to ^sda) formulae to suit the varying eUmates of its different markets.
