New fall frocks are called the last word. Well, that's wh?t the women want. A California millionaire has left his fortune to a girl who, years ago. refused to marry him. Gratitude? If a man runs after money, he's money-mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a ne'er-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it, he's a para- site; and if he accumulates it after a lifetime of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life. Feversham Fair The Oaprey Agricultural Society Fall Fair held at Feversham on Thursday last, made a place for it- self in fall fair history. A new in- terest in the educational values was very forcibly brought to the fore by entry of a boys' judging contest in cattle, in which about a dozen boys and young men participated. We owe much to Mr. T. S. Cooper, our agricultural representative at Mark- dale, who so willingly (always will- ing) undertook to coach the boys in the contest. The winners were Kil- bourne Hawkins, Fred Ross, Russell Hudson and Ross Smith, while the boys within the age limit set by the prize list were Bill Stephens, Wil- fred Hawton, Leslie Hawton and Mervin Hawton in the order named. After the boys made their decisions, Mr. Cooper had the fair judge, Mr. Geo. E. Foster, do the placing, on which no two of the obys were agreed. Here we see the necessity of practice training, knowledge of type and good breeding, to reach the desired results. We appreciate very much all those who brought exhibits in every class and who had a part in making a fair what it should be. Just here the Fair Board acknowledges with grat- itude and deep appreciation all who contributed to our prize list in a special way, with spocial mention of the Collingwood business men's specials. We look forward to instilling a deeper interest in the educational value of our Fair and in the coming year engage in some jur.ior enter- prise, in which our young men and women may become more enthused in quality farming, take more inter- st in our farm life as there is "no room for slackers." and takj a pride in our high calling as agricultural people. We have our war troubles, farm labor, farm prices, feeling that someone else is doing better than we are, our taxes, etc. Let us not give way to these troubles. If we cease for a moment to do our very utmost in spite of these troubles, we are worthy of contempt and false to the boys (our boy?) who have gone to protect this freedom we so much love. Cont.

Charters of Brampton, in collaboration with Walter Legge, Granby. After thinking back over the past week and recounting the territory covered, the places visited ana the experiences that have been ours, this brief article might well have been entitlad "A Week In the Canadian Army." It was indeed a very strenuous one, and the remarkable point is that fifty-year old recruits like your -9p- resentatives, have survived the heavy strain and have come through smil- ing to tell you about it. It was the thrill of a life-time to cross the Atlantic in nine and a half hours, but almost equally thrilling and certainly most inspiring has been the week spent in visiting many of the Canadian Army units. It has been our privilege to witness the most realistic Army manoeuvers and schemes which it is possible to "lay- on" when not confronted by the ac- tual enemy. During the week, we travelled close to one thousand miles by chart- red bus, by Jeep and Peep motor vehicles in Bren Gun Carriers, in tanks and on "shanks pony.'' We have sat in conference with General McN'aughton for over an hour and a half and have learned by his friendly attitude and his cool calculating manner, and brutally frank answers to all our questions, why he is loved by all the men serving under him. t nd admired by his colleagues in high lilitary circles of all AHied Nations. We have chatted informally with other high Army officials, with jun- ior officers and with the men in the ranks, and are impressed with the line spirit everywhere manifested. We have had conversations with par- ticipants in the Dieppe attack, some who came back unscathed and others who are now in hospital having their wounds doctored. To talk with these lads is a grand sensation. They are surprisingly cheerful and bright, no complaining and show an eager- ness to tackle the job again, that is most encouraging. In a later article, our visit with these heroes of Dieppe will be given in greater detail. It is an inspiring story. We have seen bridges erected by a corps of Canadian Engineers in less time than it takes a county or town council at home to decide on such an expansive construction. We attended an assault course and wit- nessed a realistic Commando attack put on by the Army, in co-operation with the Navy some of the personn- el and the equipment used having seen action in the Dieppe raid. We saw the latest and largest Army tanks in action and marvelled at their accomplishments. We rode in these tanks, drove them, fired their guns and gave the command? going into attack. We witnessed the Artillery and Infantry in action and marvelled at the accuracy and pre- cision with which they carried out their assigned tasks. We watched the wounded being taken from tanks placed on stretchers in the field and taken back of the lines for necessary treatment. We saw the Ordnance Corps in every phase, from the large work- shops at the base to the smaller ones further down the line. They are ev- idence of Canadian engineering and mechanical skill. We gazed at Doe- tors, Dentists and Padres going through physical training to harden them up for their duties. We wit- nessed realistic bayonet fighting;. motor cycle corps being trained as despatch riders and Provost. We heard wireless instructors ex- plaining to classes the intricacies of their war job. so important to Army communications. After this week with the Army. are forced to My that the in- tensive training being carried on here was indeed a revelation to us all. We feel sure that the average person has little conception of the work entailed in preparing an army for battle. Our next week will be spent with he Air Pore*. Then we will have some time with the Nary and with Presented Flag In Memory Of Father Friday evening the officers and members of Prince Arthur Lodge No. 333, A.F.&A.M.. welcomed Rt. Wor. Bro. W. M. Morrow of Chats- worth, District Deputy Grand Mas- ter of Grey District, when there was a large attendance of members. Fol- lowing the work in the Lodge room, a banquet was held at which Wor. Bro. Herb. Corbett was toastmaster. V. Wor. Bro. F. H. W. Hickling proposed the toast to the King, which was responded to with the National Anthem, following which Wor. Bro. A. Down proposed the toast to Grand Lodge and Rt. Wr. Bro. Morrow gave a splendid address in response. The Craft, proposed by V. Wor. Bro. C. J. Bellamy, was replied to by Wor. qro. Dunlop of Chatsworth. The visitors, by Rt. Wor. Bro. H. A. McCauley, was repli d to by severa) visiting brethren from Dundalk and Owen Sound. An interesting event took place in the Lodge room during the evening when Wor. Bro. W m . Walker, Master of Prince Arthur Lodge, presented a ! lovely Union Jack with staff to the ' Lodge, in memory of his father, the late Wm. H. Walker, who was a member of the Lodge for 14 year | Rt. Wor. Bro. McCauley accepted the flag on behalf of the Lodge and Rt. Wor. Bro. Morrow and Wor. Bro. Alex. Cameron spoke a few words in appreciation of the gift. Victory Loan Drive Ready To Start Organization of Grey County for the Third Victory Loan is almost complete. Canvassers have been chosen in all districts and local com mittees in every centre are most act- ive in promoting the campaign. Grey County's quota of two and a half mil- lion dollars is the same as in the last loan, which was carried to such a successful completion. His Honor Judge Morley, chairman of the Grey County committee, and those assoc- iated with him in the organization work for Grey County, are enthus- iastic about the prospects for success on the present loan. Much dependence is being placed on the rural sections of the county. Both local and county committees are hope- ful that the canvass among the farm- ers will produce an especially good return. Quotas in each municipality were announced last week. They are stiff quotas, but not impossible ol attainment, if the canvassers will work, as they have declared they will and if the general public realizes the seriousness of the situation, and the vital need for this cash at the pre- sent time. It is being pointed out that the Dominion government is now the farmer's best customer. But the government has to have money with which to buy the farmer's produce. If the farmers will take some of the money they are now receiving foi their farm produce and turn it into Victory Bonds, the government will be enabled to spend the money again with the farmer, for further purchase of produce.

Regiment At Camp Borden For Two Days The 2nd Battalion Grey and Sim- coe Foresters apent two days at Camp Borden over the week end re- ceiving special training with ustrnc- tors provided by A 10 Advanced Training Centre, which was host to the Battalion. Saturday afternoon was spent on the range, where the new Enfield rifle was fired, along: with the Bren gun, and the Sten sub machine gun by the officers. In- struction was also given on the two- and three inch mortars and Sunday morning a demonstration of the effective work these mortars can ac- complish was given on one of the training areas. The Boys anti-tank rifle was alse fired, to show that the recoil from this gun has been greatly exaggerated in the past. Another of the interesting demon- strations was that of street fighting in a village street, constructed near the mortar range. A platoon of the Training Centre showed how the enemy can be cleaned out of a vill- age when an advance was held up by the enemy. Live ammunition was used by both the invaders with both rifle and Bren gun, but not in a manner dangerous to the spectators. Sunday afternoon the officers and men were given ride* in the Ram tanks and Universal Carriers by the first battalion of the Foresters, which was located close by. It will be interesting to know that cwo of the Ram tanks operated by the For- esters are known by the names of Flesherton and Feversham. The first battalion is at present under the supervision of Major Wagner of Owen Sound, who briefly addressed the members of the second battalion prior to mcving on the homeward journey. Fifty-two members of "B" Com- pany were present and travelled to Camp Bonlen by local trucks, leav- ing Friday evening and returning Sunday evening. The weather was perfect for the trip and all ranks felt that the week end was really pro- fitable in the experience gained.
