Not nearly enough saving is yet bein^ made, especially in the home. Result, for some time past several large industries have had their power supply cut oflf for lengthy periods in the 24 hours. IS IT NECESSARY to SAVE ONLY at CERTAIII NOIRS? No, it is vital to save at ALL hours. While elearicity cannot be stored, water that generates it can be stored. The water storage for the five Hydro plants in the Niagara area is provided by the Great Lakes. This assures a continuous flow of water sufficient to enable these plants to go all out 24 hours a day â€" still there is not enough power. In 48 other Hydro generating stations throughout Ontario the water supply muit be very closely guarded â€" if too much electricity is demanded one day. the next dav's power supply must suffer. This condition is aggravated by the abnormally low rain fall last .\utiimn. mUST HOMES DO ALL THE SAVING? Not by any means. ALL consumers must play their full part. Modified rationing has to some extent reduced the consumption of electricity in stores and by other commercial consumers, but still greater voluntary savings are urgently needed. HOW CAN I SAVE MORE ELECTRICITY? Don't leave lights burning in unoccupied offices. Turn idling motors off. Use range elements as short a time as possible. Turn off verandah and all other lights when not needed. Use electrically heated water sparingly. Do not use electric heaters or grates.

While the weather- man kept many Forum people at home, they di<l not forget to listen to the broadcast, which in the opin- ion of many, was the best Forum broadcast ever heard. The debate on Oleomargarine, taken by Mr. Sinclair of Britaah Columbia (who, by the way is sponsoring the bill to have the oleomargarine ban lifted) and Mr. Love, a dairy farmer from Edanonton, who defended the dairy farmers, asking to have ban retain- ed. So well pleased were the Fonun people with Mr. Love's defense that they telephoned the writer, asking that a "wire" of appreciation be sent him, which has been <'one. As a farmer reading both sides of this argument, I sometimes am amazed at the view taken by some people about the high cost of living. In pondering over this, I lemember what Mr. J. L. Lemibke said back in the inflation period after World Way \ I. This was his remarjc: "Good W. R. Johnston of the High School staff gave « talk on the Belsen War Crimes trials held in Germany in the fall of 1945, and which he at- tended on one occasion. The Canadian Army was situated in tbe north-west part of Gennany and the trip which Mr. Johnston took included the ocean ports of Bre- men and Hamburg, both of which had been heavily bombed by Allied planes during the war. From Ham- burg they drove south to tbe city oif Lunberg. which was thirty miles from the town of Belsen, which was the scene of some of tbe worst atro- cities of the war against helpless civilians, mostly Jews. Kramer, commonly called "The Beast of Bel- sen'' and Irma Grece, his chief lieu- tenant, were the most famous in the trials. There were 43 other pris- oners also iindergoing trial. For the short time tiiey attended, Mr. Johns- ton stat«d that it was interesting to watch the different expressions on the faces of the accused, that of '; Irma Grece being es^iressionless throughout the whole trial, as if the proceedings were boring to her. The two of them were hanged for their crimes a few weeks later. The defendants at the u-ial were seated on one side of the court house aud each had a munber on tbe front of their clothing. Facing them on the opposite side were the presid* ing Judge and the attorneys for the prosecution from each of the fotur occupying countries: Great Britain, United States, France and Russia. Between the defendants and the prosecution were seated the inter- preters, whose duty it was to trans- late into several lang^uages. Each of the defendants was equipped with ear phones and all evidence was translated into German for their convenience. Reporters from the various news agencies were also on the centre floor space. At the time Mr. Johnston was there the British prosecuting attorney was summing up his evidence against each of the defendants and did not spare the prisoners in his denunciation and his words seemed to have a biting effect ,TS some Of the prisoners would wince in their seats and shake their heads as though to say "What's the use!" , ,„ . .^ ^ _ ., the SC^ excess profit tax off the In closing his talk Mr. Johnston ! j^rge corporations or big business. remarked that it would be a long ^ven though it did not them some time before he would forget what he ; $746 million doll.irs hut left the low saw take place on that particular 1 bracket tax payer at JltiiO for sincle day. first victory in many a moon from the local entry." Now we are not wisiiing to rub any salt into an open wound caused by the 7-0 defeat, but we have to see that the Flesherton team is not misrepresented. They have won three out of the last four games played with Markdale, and the only grame they won last winter was at the expense of the Markdale club. Again we say that the sports editor should make sure of his facts before he prints statMnents that he cannot back up. Russell • Patten times are dear times, bad times are cheap times." But today everyone blames the rise in the price of food as the real reason for the high cost of living. But is the high cost of l'i.<i the ''uui^. o i- it the high cost of services that has caused the greater part of the rise in livin? costs? What was it took the youth and older people, too, off the farms and into industry? Was it not that they could sell their services for more gain than they could in agri- culture? Just stop for a moment and ask why a house in Toronto or other centres is worth as much as the same kind of house, plus a bam and 100 acres of land in rural Grey? Yet the world starves. People plead for food to eat. If ever there was a time for honest thinking it is now, and trying to make the people en- gaged in. agriculture the slaves of urban centres will not solve it. Is there any one thing today that is a greater factor in the high cost cf living than the Income Tax on the people in the low income brack- et?
