Weclncsdav, Tatiunrv 12, 1944 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Sicilms Pe!t The Duce Portraits of Mussolini in all Sicil- ian towns and villages are subjected to one of the war's most severe bar- rages of eggs, rotten fruit and tomatoes following the announce- TENDERS WANTED Sealed tenders will be received up to and including Saturday, Jan. 22, 1944, for the supplying of 20 cords of 16 inch green body wood of maple and beech, delivered in the school grounds. Tenders will be sent to John McWilliam, secretary of Ceylon Public School Board. ment of his resignation. Picture shows: Free to express their opinion at last, people of Sicily leave no doubt as to what they think ^f the Duce. They tell us some stores are so short of everything you cant even find courtesy 'here. Victoria, Australia, has, because of labor shortage, permitted the em- p'oyment of bar-maids in hotels. Any wo:n:-n takinc; this employment, how- ever, must be over thirty-five. Is this n prohibitive condition? FARMERS AfO FARM WORKERS If Your Faun Work lias Slackened for t:ie Winter, You Are Needed Elsewhere in Essential Employment Highly essential work very important in Canada's war effort and for the welfare of the Nation is threatened with shortages of workers. One of the few sou -cos of men available for other high priority jobs is thos'j men on the farm who will not be ncjJcd at home during the Fall and Winter. Heavy needs must be mei in many lines producing fuel wood and other neces- sary forest products; in base metal mines, in food processing, in railway track maintenance. If you live on a farm and arc not needed at home during the Fall and Winter, you are urged to answer this national appeal. Farmer', engaged in essential work during the oil season will be allowed to return home when needed. Also, those on postponement under Mohili- zalion Regulations will continue on postponement -while in approved essen- tial work during the slack on the farm. Pleane answer this vital rail NOW. For full information pleasf apply to one of the following: The nearest EMPLOYMENT AND SI;LECTIVB SERVICE OFFICE or The nearest PROVINCIAL AGRICULTURAL RF.PRF.SKN TATIVE or YOUR IXT.AL FARM INDUCTION COM Mil THE NATIONAL SELECTIVE SERVICE Blood Plasma May Save His Life Have you seen that terribly poing- ant picture of a soldier stretched face downward upon the ground in that grotesque attitude which tells of serious hurt? It carries the caption "Blood plasma may save his life." Perhaps too you have seen that other picture of a field transfusion bi inic given to a wounded man, whose rifle with bayonet stuck in the earth is tlu 1 standard to which the life saving blood fluid is attached. Thpse two pictures epitomise the Red Cross Blood Donors Service in which all physically fit persons may have a vit- al part. Figures may be deadening and facts boring unless directly related to life. Experience has demonstrat- ed beyond a shadow of doubt that an innumerable multitude of men and women have been wrested from other- wise certain death, during the war, by the use of field and other trans- fusions. A well known Medical Of- ficer has said: "I am never able to watch the color return to grey lips and faces without thanking God for the discovery of blood transfusion an" for the Red Cross Service which makes it possible." It is perhaps not too much to say that at least twenty-five per cent of the boys who have left this community, for the National Defence Services, will be dependent upon this service for their safe return. HOUTHUY MI . . 1 1 1, tHmittrr of A. M, N.U..A. Dlrtelor. NttkmJ HUNTING PAIR LEARN NEW LESSON A seldom-used clause in the Game and Fisheries Act "catching rabbits by hand" was read to two London men in county Police Court there by the magistrate, Donald B. Menzies. The pair, Wm. Shortridge and "Ernest Scott, were apprehended by Game Warden W. L. Pemberton and Provincial Constable Jack Foulton after the two had used a ferret to hole rabbits, and then caught the animal as it ran from the hole to escape the ferret. Asked by the Magistrate how the clause catching the rabbit by hand got into the act, Constable Foultnn replied; "I .orucss it is to give the rabbit a sporting chance." In finding the pair guilty, Magis- trate Menzies stated ho was impos- ing the minimum fine of $10. with- out costs each. A pauper is a "millionaire" if he good health.

I'OKTLAW RESIDENTS HAVE MOVED TO FLESHERTON (By Portlaw Reporter) Mr and Mrs. Robert Fisher and Mary moved to Flesherton Thursday fn,m their farm on the 4th Line, Artemesia, which was recently taken over by their son, ilbert. By their removal this district has lost one of its most prominent families. On Tuesday evening, Jan. 4th, the friends and neighbors gathered at their home and during the evening a well-worded address was read by Mrs. Laurie Ped^r and the presenta- tion of an electric floor lamp was made to M. and Mrs. Fisher and a table cloth to Miss Mary by Messrs. A. Blackburn, C. Lougheed and John McKee. In the address, Mrs. Pedlar re- marked that they had always found them ready neighbors and loyal friends, both in times of trouble and the happier times of every-day life. A helping hand was always offered and a smile for all. Neighbors of that calibre are not easily replaced. The gifts were declared to be a small to- ken of the esteem in which they are held, and to remember their old neighbors on the Fourth Line. Mr. Fisher thanked the friends and neighbors and invited all to go and see them in their new home. "For they are jolly good fellows" wa then sung and lunch" was sej-ved. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and card playing. Flesherton W. I. Meeting The,. regular meeting of Flesherton Wotfien's Institute was held at the home of Mrs. F. J.

Mrs. Hass was in charge of the program, which consisted of a contest and readings 'by Mesdames Teeter, Stoddart, and Hartley.. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. W. Turney. Some people's weak backs probably were caused from trying to keep up a big front. Food fact: London school children, on a rationed war diet, are two in- ches higher and 12 pounds heavier than their parents were at that age. in any election some candidates bet on their lucky stars, but they forget there are always a number of favorite suns.
