informed that it is his privilege to exercise the right of ballot the pools will be open on april 27th from 800 in the morning until 8 00 in the evening daylight saving time while the typographical error was not inten tional in the above sentence perhaps it is not out-of- place after all for it suggests a sink or swim policy for canada if the plebiscite carries by an overwhelming yes vote the swimmer johnny canuck will be a few strokes further on the path to total war which we mult achieve if we are to lend our maximum effort to winning a victory over totalitarianism if the results are indecisive or if god forbid the nays should have it we dare not think of the consequences certainly we can imagine german and jap newspaper headlines distorted to read that canada wants to drop out of thr war to many the plebiscite seems like a waste of time and money the reasons for it obscured in a maze of contradictory and confusing statements by cabinet ministers and members of parliament particularly among our french canadian citizens whatever the real reoson for asking the question are you in favour of releasing the government from any obligotion aris ing out of uny past commitments restrictinr the methods of raising men for military ervice there is only one answer for a patriotic canadian with nwift sure strokes each swimmer must indicate yes on plebis cite day and avoid sinking with the conwqurn drag on the war effort embarrassing questions with houses and apartments at a premium in georgetown these days the herald office is faced many times each week with the query are there any new ads in the paper this week much as we would like to help by answering before the paper comes off the press it is only business commonsense that we cannot do so part of our revenue is derived from classified advertisements and last year we learned a lesson a man enquired on a tuesday morning if we knew of any houses for rent as it happened we had an odvertisement scheduled for that wednesdays issue of the herald and we told him to get in touch with the advertiser the result a few hours later a telephone call from the advertiser informed us that the house was rented and to please cancel the advertisement since then for our own protection we have followed a policy of silence in regard to classified ad vertisements do you blame us a story retold on a sunny day last summer on energetic young man walked into the herald office and introduced him self as ray davies freelance writer we had met mr davies once before in the pages of the farmers ma gazine where he had written a story about george towns unique hunters inn and indeed we had in troduced the author to our subscribers by reprinting his story subsequently he endorsed all the fine things he had taid about the gastronomic delights of the hunter cuisine by making frequent trips to georgetown here in our bustling little town was conceived the idea of writing an article on the war effort of a typical small town in ontario a town which had not felt the stimu lus of new war industries of nearby troop concentra tionsbut one which was nonetheless conscious of the war effort and was playing its own small part in the gigantic pattern of canadas battle here mr davies spent several days chatting with local businessmen asking questions observing and absorbing countless details which later must be sifted out and combined into his completed article and when the article appeared in the october 1 5th issue of macleans magazine the issue was completely sold out a few hours after the local drug stores hod received their quota in every corner of canada georgetowners read the absorbing tale of what those at home were doing in canteens overseas our men in uniform picked up copies of the magazine and devoured the news eagerly mistakes will crop up even among the best of proofrenders and much amusement was caused when we read that four georgetown barbers uncle and three nephews ore officers in the lome scots while georgetown actually boasts five barbers this trade is not b family monopoly and the capital b was the object of an editorial in the next issue of maclean s skle from this there were
