THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION Sterling Tower, Toronto "Don't go Outside Your Home Town for Things Your Own Merchants Supply"' WE LIKE TO GET THE NEWS The main aim of the weekly newspaper is to give news of its own district. It may have other aims, such as to give the merchants a chance to tell of their goods in its columns or to try to influence public oponion through its editorial columns; or to amuse or instruct; but first of all, it must give news. Some of this news is not easily obtained and no editor can cover it without assistance. Therefore, we ask our readers' assitance. Especially is it true when you have visitors. Many of the ladies think that personals are the whole paper. Your visitors naturally are glad to have their names printed. So send them in. Sometimes people come in and give the impression that they are asking a favour when they want us to insert the names of their friends who have been spending a few days with them. No person need fell that way who has an item of real news. Fashion is continuing to play its part in helping to win the war by designing simple styles which will save on materials and labour. Equality of Service and Sacrifice! The King Manpower Policy -- "The Greatest Hoax ever perpetrated on a Nation." "It is a national disgrace and a blight upon the good name of Canadian citizenship. To give political considerations priority over the nation's interest is intolerable and unforgivable." Doimnion-wide disunity is today the gravest danger facing Canada. The political abasement of the King Government's Manpower Policy reaped in wartime the seeds it sowed in peacetime. "King or Chaos" of the 1940 election campaign has been King ANQ Chaos ever since. National unity, to which the King Government has paid only lip-service, was sold for political advantage in time of gravest national emergency. THE PRICE CANADA HAS PAID for the unequal burdens of the King Manpower Policy is beyond measure. Army statistics tell the story. Tragically, the casualty lists bear mute witness to it. i THE PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE PARTY HAS CONSISTENTLY CONDEMNED THE INJUSTICE OF A PURELY POLITICAL MANPOWER POLICY. We do not hesitate therefore to describe the King Manpower Policy, and all the furtive political manipula-f tions which characterized the administration of that policy, as a gross miscarriage of social, political and economic justice. As our forthright, progressive leader has said, it was -- and is *--"the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on a nation." NATIONAL UNITY AND WELFARE MUST COME BEFORE NARROW POLITICAL ADVANTAGE. Divide-and-rule policies have no place in framing the basis for peace-time government. Only a party that will recognize equality of opportunity for all in time of peace as well as equality of service and sacrifice in time of war can solve the problem of national unity with the confidence of all Canadians.

URGE GROWERS TO DISINFECT USED POTATO BAGS COURT OF REVISION VILLAGE OF COLBORNE Mark Your Ballot for EARL DROPE on June 11th In order to prevent the further spread of Bacterial Ring Rot disease potato growers are urged to disinfect all used potato bags before they are rgain allowed to come in contact with potatoes, says R. E. Goodin, Field-man, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Bacterial Ring Rot disease is one of the most infectious and destructive seed borne potato diseases on the continent of America. It is a comparatively new disease. The first cases reported in Ontario were during the 1938 season. The disease has been gradually on the increase and has caused losses amounting to many thousands of dollars since that time. Many outbreaks have been traced to infection from the use of second-hand potato bags which carry the organ-Potato growers are therefore advised to carefully disinfect all used potato bags which are on their premises. The treatment does not involve much time but is cheap insurance against heavy losses from this dis- Bags should be soaked for two hours in a solution containing one pint formalin in forty gallons of water. These may afterwards be quickly dried at this time of year by spreading out over the grass or hanging over a fence. Another method used by some potato growers is by using a hand sprayer and a solution containing one pint formalin with one pint water. This solution is sprayed on about every fourth or fifth bag in the pile, after which the entire pile of bags is left covered overnight with a heavy blanket or tarpaulin. Potato growers may avoid heavy losses by using every precaution to keep Bacterial Rot disease away from their premises. WHERE'S THE LABEL? Ladies, keep your labels.

RED CROSS WORKERS ARE URGED TO "STAY ON THE JOB" In response to enquiries reaching the Red Cross from all parts of Canada, Mrs. Clara McEarchen, National Chairman of the Women's War Work Committee, on Saturday, May 12th, issued a most urgent appeal to Red Cross women workers throughout the Dominion to "stay on the job" as their help will be vitally needed in the months immediately ahead. Stressing the immense needs facing us in liberated Europe tody, Mrs. McEachren stated: "This week has brought to the world the glad knowledge that the war in Europe is over. Certain Departments of Red Cross war service will necessarily be drawing to a close. But not the work of sewing and knitting. Rather, in this work we afe facing a period of intense activity. "The needs of Europe know no bounds," said Mrs. McEachren. "With the liberation of all countries the opportunity of shipping to them supplies of clothing, quilts and certain other household articles, replenished to the fullest extent that our materials will allow. "Moreover, since V-E Day, a call has come for 25,000 'Release Parcels* to have available for the Far East. This entails a total of upward of 100,000 articles to be made by women within the next two months. "All this," Mrs. McEachren emphasized, "can be accomplished for the Red Cross only through Sewing Groups, which also issue wool for knitting at home, as we are under obligation to the Wartime Prices and Trade Board to use only such materials as are allocated to the Red Cross by the Government. "We appeal, therefore, to our workers all over Canada to stand by us. We invite women released from other war activities to offer their services to the Red Cross." SHOPPERS ASKED TO SAVE PAPER Retailers and their customers are urged by the Prices Board to use paper as sparingly as posible in the packaging of parcels. While wrapping paper is necessary for many articles, there are others, tuch as those already packaged, which do not require it and where its use becomes waste. Wherever it is possible to eliminate wrapping, the Board asks that it should be done so that limited supplies of paper may be conserved for essential uses. Butter Wrappers at The Express. No fewer than 94 out of ments in the manufacturing, wholesale, retail and services fields are small, employing less than 15 people. Together they employ 37% of all the dosses of business. (/From 1941 con* small business ISN'T SO SMALL! Ordinarily one Canadian in every six gainfully employed, earns his livelihood in a "small business." It may be a farm, a store or a lumber-yard; an architect's office or a service station. Taken together, these individual enterprises provide a very substantial part of Canada's total jobs--must continue to do so after the war. During the years ahead many people who dropped small business for war reasons will want to return to their accustomed or new ways of making a living. Thus old businesses will be revived. Many new ones will be started by returned men and people now in war industries. The commercial banks will do their part to afford assurance that no sound credit requirement need be left unserved in the field of small business. As such businesses grow, they create additional job openings; that has been the pattern of Canadian enterprises. Most large companies began in a small way; And practically all could name some bank which played a part in their growth by providing the loans they needed to finance their day-to-day operations. Your bank stands ready to serve businesses, small or large, well established or just starting out. Banks do not initiate such businesses--but they do furnish necessary working capital and many other forms of banking service. This Advertisement Sponsored by your Bank
