It won't be lon^ now lH.'fore wc learn the details of new taxation in Canada from the Minister of Fin- ance. There soemed to be a feeling around Ottawa at the beginning of this wepk that the budget woald bi brought down before the end of March. Since the provisions of any fcu<^get arc always wrapped with the -iitmost secrecy, none can anticipate what these details will be because »nch anticipation would be pure ^ruess work. At this time, however, Canadian citizens are in unique position, for they loiow a great deal about the staggering costs of the present war, and know also that these costs can be met only by in- creased taxation. Just how the Min- ister of Finance will arrange to collect more and more money from the people of Canada we don't know, but we do know that he will make such arrangements. Taxes hurt. But this hurt is noth- ing compared to the physical and anental pain which accompanies fall- ang bombs from enemy planes. He -will be a peor type of Canadian who Xrouses about the money he has to put up, no matter how great the in- crease in taxatbn. It may be, in- deed, that many Canadians will only 3)egin to realize that theya re war at the moment when the Govern- •ment reveals the seriousness of our country's plight by drastic taxation. No sane Canadian would even con- sider taking out a $1,00.00 fire in- surance policy as pnotection for a building worth $200,000. And now that our country, worth billions and billions to us in a material way, and worth so much in a spiratual way that it cannot be measured in terms of money, is threatened, we would be fools if we did not spend to the l|â„¢lt of our capacity to assure our- selves adequate protection its loss to Hitler. FIREPROOF SUITS- FOR LONDON PIRBMEN These London firemen are wear ing a new type bl suit made of as- bestos, and completely fireproof. The necessity for these has arison through the wanton showering of fire bombs by German^ raiders upon the civilian quarters of English towns. ' * , ag-ainst GOOD-WILL A.MBASSADOR The visit of Wendell Willkie of the United States was an epochal «vent and rivals that of the visit of the King and Queen for spoiitanity «f welcome by the people at large. "While he was defeated as candidate for the presidency of the United States he has not sat down and let events take their course, but has campaigned for full aid to the demo- cratic powers which he advocated «ur.pc; his election campaign last fall. Mr. Willkie visited England a Month ago and saw for himself what â- was needed to iielp Britain in her rreat fight His is a forceful per- sonality. captivating all those who s-aw him on his route of travel He ^was the unofl-icial ambassador of ^od-will from our great American Republic which has commenced a ful program of assistance that will Clood luck, Wendell Willkiet .Mussolini ♦>,o.

"John," she said to her husband, •'I've just found that the woman next door has a coat exactly the same as mine." "Well ,my dear, I suppose you'll •want me to buy you a new coat?" "Yes,- she replied, "it would be cheaper than moving wouldn't it?" Osprey Snow Club Needs More Funds Excellent work has been done, in connection with the maintaining of the County Roads, by the Osprey Snow Club. Traffic has been kept moving without a halt during the heavy storms of Frebuary and early March, the greater part of whioh must be attributed to those in charge of the work. Great appreciation also is given to those, who by their donat- ions have made this work possible, as individual donations, plus the con- tributions of the Municipality is the only background of the final end of the undertaking. Until the middle if Frebuary $960.- 00 has been spent in plowing and maintaining, so it is very essential that more money will heave to be contributed, if the Club is to be spared the embarrassment of finan- cial difficulties. As any fair-minded person will understand, not one of the executive are at all anxious to make an indi- vidual canvass for funds, when the service of an open road may, and does, be used by the public at large, so in all fairness to everyone, if any person who has not already donated towards the work would do so at the earliest opportunity, it will be greatly appreciated. Following is a list of ' donation? made since last publication: Durham Furniture Co. $20, Beaver Valley Creamery $10, Drs. McKay & Simpson $10, Markdale Creamery $5, National Grocers $5, L.

Harrison on Wednesday aftemoon with 12 present. Mrs. P, G. Kars- tedt, 2nd vice-president was in the chair, she read an article on "Barn- abus" and led in prayer. Mrs. A. R. Muir took the study period bated on the booklet, "Living Epistles in Kor- ea." Three quilt tops are ready and arrangements to quilt them trill be made at the April meeting, Mrs. R. H. McOonkey preiilded for. the W. A. meeting in the aVtence of the president. It was decided to hold the postponed St. Patrick's Crokinolc party on Tuasday evenina. The April meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. F. G. Karstedt. On account of the storm Rev. A.R. Muir postponed the class in religious instruction at the O.D.R. school last week until Thursday when he also visited on the OJD.R. The day of national prayer was observed at both St. Columba and Salem churches on Sunday. The con- gregations joined in special prayers and the minister preached from Psalm 90:2, taking as his subject "The Eternal God." MANY WAYS TO STAY AWAKE Recently a book has been written giving 1001 ways of going to sleep. It might be a good stunt for some- one to write on 1001 w^ys to stay awake, and here are some chapter headings: How to keep from nodding and dozing in church. How to stifle that yawn when the clock strikes twelve and your guests seem to think it is still early. How to stop dreaming and look- ing out the window when your desk is piled with work. IIow tA keep from the temptation of having a snooze when you shouh' be out looking for business. How to read more than one chap- ter in a book without falling asleep in your chair. How to keep from taking that little extra nap in the morning, hav- ing to eat your breakfast in a hurry and then being late at the store o office after all. The St. Catherines Standard re- marks that "farmers of Canada have eften organized but their difficulty has been to stay that way." The war is not won yet, but any means, but it is quite evident that Hitler 's on the anxious seat. As for Mussolini â€" his day is done. J INSURANCE Apo- Ap<.

Patton Mr. John Nuhn of town received an interesting letter from Gunner Fred Patton, who arrived in England a short time ago with the 1st Survey Company, R.C.A. Fred states that they sure came over at a poor lime of the year as it rains half the time but the sun is getting stronger all the time and flowers are beginning to bloom. It must be a pretty country in summer. Jerry came over in drives last night. It gives you quite a sensation when you think all he has to do is pull the lever and down comes an egg. The A. A.'s were sure blasting them and search lights trying to pick them out. England certainly is a busy country. Everybody is going and big majority are in uniform. They are certainly prepared for an invasion, which 1 1 don't think will ever come'^ T h".vp bci-n talking to si'vcral m-.'f who were in Dunkirk and boy that was some experience. I am wearing a helmet which was in Dunkirk and I would like to hang onto it for keeps. London is quite a spot.

We had our five-day emibai;kation leave and I went to the old Roman city of Bhth and saw St .Paul's Cathedral in Salisbury, which sure is a wonderful structure. It has the highest spirt of any church in Eng- land and is the oldest. They still hold service in the church.

Gi L CAPACTTY FOR POP A Carrick youth, after treating himself to a bottle of pop and a couple cones of ice cream in Mildmay on Monday aftemoon, suggcstoil to the vendor that he would drink six bottles of pop in half an hour if they were "on the house." The vendor accepted the challenge and the con- teist was en. The first !L»'- 'ties dis- appeared In flv i;d^--* Sut tht next three presented nn3e-T.-!fficulty.
