talk nowadays abou canada not bring warconscious that its citizens are taking too much for granted and fooling themselves into be lieving that russias stand against hr axis is relieving us of the burden which we were carrying we are not qualified to speak for canada for ontario o even for holton county in this lespect but we do ferl that georgetown is playing her par and playing it well in the battle against the dictators one hundred and fifty men serving overseas und as many again in training in canada the magnifi cent work completed by the red cross society last cir vith a more extensive program planned for the coming year victory loan organization already underway and a record of success last ear which ranked among the finest in the province salvage co lection by thr lions and school children a growing force in thr com munity british war victims and soldiers comforts funds legion ond legion w a i o d e lome scots w a only a few of the many organizations drvo ing a large part of their time to war work wc could go on enumerating ways in which the citizens of this dmtrict are helping the war effort but throe few rxiimplts whl serve iheir purpose they show that grorgrtown is playing her part but there is no effort that cannot be exceeded and improved on and we must not ullow ounwuei to grow complacent in the thought thut we nr- doing our utmost there is alwuys a little more that rich in dividual and each organization can do 1 few mote dollars in war savings stamps an extra donation to a worthy fund more time spent aiding the war work of some organization we are fighting a nrim bull- ngainst an enemy who spares nothing to achieve his aims and we must match and surpass his effort with our own if we are to emerge on the winning side a laymans feeling like the vast majority of our countrymen we do not profess to be a politician or to have any do or die political beliefs which tie us to one party right or wrong for a lifetime i is seldom that this newspaper indulges in political controversy because we believe that in wartime especially we must pull together re gardless of political creed with a minimum of criticism against the party in power we cannot however le the present mess at ottawa pass by without airing our own views on the situation and we sincerely hope that many of our read ers whether in agreement or disagreement will make use of our columns to say what they think in the first place we are absolutely against the proposed re ferendum or plebiscite which the prime minister an nounced in his speech last thursday why are we against it because we think it is useless serves no purpose and is a waste of valuable time energy and money in essence mr king wants the people to state whether they wish the government to have a free hand in making decisions which they believe in the best in terests of the war effort he does not seem to realize that the canadian people have already given him the free hand that he seeks we have placed our trust in our government at the same time keeping an opposi tion party to check on its actions helping where it can offering constructive criticism where it can and expos ing any behindthescenes actions which it feels are in the best interests of the citizens to know at the same time we cannot say that the con servative party at ottawa has a clean sheet by any means have they functioned in their proper capacity as an opposition party in wartime decidedly not in our estimation no sooner was the smoke of the last election cleared away than the conservatives hopped right into the fray again seiring on every mistake made by those in power magnifying it and selfishly criticiz ing to boost their own position there has been little cooperation from either side to iron out political dif ferences at home while canada fights an allout battle abroad and so we say to our prime minister and the liberal party take the trust we have placed in you to guide the affairs of canada through these difficult times and drop the idea of a referendum and we say to the conservative party try a little cooperation if you be- jieve the liberals are doing their best in the war effort and if you dont think they are ask for a vote of con fidence we cannot believe that the majority of lib eral members would continue to follow blindiy a leader who was making grave mistakes in his conduct of the war effort an ordinary canadian citizen is not in a position to judge such vital issues as are now on the agenda at ottawa we must trust our leaders to do their best if they believe selective service is needed by all means put it in force today our government does not ask us for a referendum on rationing on price leroy dale kc heads putrid red cross for third term aim ttt us mamam ta mrahiraalp drtfc

on any thing else salvage we have had many queries from housewives who have been saving bones and fats for thr salvage drive in this district frankly the lions club which sponsors the salvage work hus not been pushing the collection of these items because of the difficulties in storage now the department of naional war ser vices in a series of advertisements currently running in the heruld is telling us that these are urgently needed for war industry so the club is adding these to the col lection list we must ask however that fats and bones be collected in sealed containers tbe salvage shed is not airtight and a nuisance must not be created by storing articles which would draw rats flies and dogs in large numbers particularly in warmer weather once again we urge citizens to bring their sal vage to the salvage shed the entrance to which is through the alleyway between silvers dcpt store and the lee sing laundry or to send it to school with the children your contribution in this respect will save time and expense of collection and make all the more money available for war work checkup says dept of agriculture the ontario department of agriculture in an advertisement appearing elsewhere in this paper draws the farmers attention to the need for checking up im mediately on necessary repairs to their machinery al though supplies are limited implsment manufacturers and dealers are hopeful that all orders for spare parts can be filled providing they know in time what de mands are likely to be maximum farm production is required this year and prompt delivery of repair parts cannot be guaran teed after spring work starts costly breakdowns long delays and loss of time of men and equipment can large ly be avoided by a careful overhaul of farm machinery during the winter months the department of agriculture is also urging that farmers swing in behind the voluntary agricultur al war committees being formed in every county these committees are making a survey the results of which will enable each neighborhood through planning and organization to secure the maximum use of avail able labour and equipment in the community great britain needs more food from canada supplies for domestic consumption in canada are short the maximum in production can only be reached by making the best possible use of what we have in every county township community and upon every
