The Packing Plants of Ontario, which process and ship your livestock for export, ARE SERIOUSLY SHORT OF MEN. Every available Farmer of Ontario is urged to offer his services for employment in one of the Packing Plants in this province as soon as the essential work of the farm is completed. OVER 1,000 men are required to start in the month of September alone. Good hourly wages will be paid. Transportation to the plant will be provided. Assistance will be given in arranging board and room. With full staffs, the Packing Plants of Canada have ample capacity to handle even the tremendously increased numbers of cattle, sheep and svirine, which Canadian farmers have ready for market this year. When operating to capacity the Packing Plants can keep the market cleared and livestock can be slaughtered, processed and shipped at its most profitable time, when it is at its market peak. Thus, losses which occur when animals are held beyond the peak â€" through additional feeding costs, through falling away from peak condition and through the demger to price structures when supply threatens to exceed demand â€" aie avoided. Last year several hvmdred Ontario farmers volimteered for work in the plants in processing their own products and protectin.g thsir own interests. Production for export this year has increased by 40%. Available man-power has shrunk by 28%. The Ontario Farm Service Force, in conjunction with Employment and Selective Service has undertaken the task of raising sufficient help from Ontario Farmers to keep Packing Plants operating to capacity this year. This department of the Ontario government's Department of Agriculture feels that this extension of its service is as vitally important to the interests of the farmers of this prov- ince as anything it has yet undertaken. The need of meat as a primary essential food to our Allied Armies, to the people of Great Britain and to the starving millions in coiintries being liberated by our victorious armies, is the basic consideration. In addition, efficient operation in the processing and marketing of livestock is necessary in protecting the greatest export market ever opened to Canadian feurmers. Your services are naeded horn now utUil spring. If you cannot devote that full period of time, a month or more will be of great assistance. OFFER YOmt SERVICES AS SOON AS POSSDLE. li you cannol go to work at ooc*. call or write, â- totinq that you will come, and at what date you will be available. Remember you will be servinq your own best iaierasts V^ well aa playing a Tital patriotic port in serving your country. * for full infotmalion or offering your lervtcea, apply in person, phone or write to your neamt office of EMPLOYMENT AND SELECTIVE SERVICE or write to THE OHT^'KIO FARM SERVICE FORCE PARUAMENT BUILDINGS, TORONTO Pwb/ished under Authority of DOMIMIOM-PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE ON FARM LABOUR â€" AGRICULTORE â€" LABOITR WP.<SO EDUCATION Robt.

Miller of Cliffprd, the driver of a creamery truck that caus- ed the instant death of Mrs. Robt. Little of Orangeville recently, is re- ported to be so shocked by the sad and tragic occurrence, that he has disposed of his trucking business and will devote all his time to his farm.

Betfore the truck was stopped she jumped and fell under the rear wheels, meeting almost instant ueath. Considerable sympathy i." being ex- tended to Mr. Miller in the sad occurrence.
