Charles Daley BRITISH WAR VICTIM'S FUND CARRIES ON TO THE END BRITISH CHILDREN NEED IT Will Continue Open as Long as Anyone Wishes to Contribute One Dollar The Evening Telegram British War Victims' Fund goes on. In view of the fact that the people of Britain have suffered 60,585 dead and 86,175 injured so severely require hospital attention, and are faced with at least 20 years of work in restoraiton and rehabilitation, the British War Victims' Fund will continue open as long as anyone wishes to contribute one dollar to that need. Thousands of children have to be fed, clothed, educated and fitted for life and owing to the misfortunes of war they have no parents to do this and no one to do it except warmhearted Canadians and warm-hearted friends the world over. The Lord Mayor of London's National Air Raid Distress Fund was established in the beginning with the expectation that it would be used over a long period of time in caring for war victims, educating children who had suffered by war and restoring Britons to their position before the war began. Contributions of Telegram readers have been sent this fund as promptly as given on the direct suggestion and advice of Prime Minister Winston Churchill himself. This fund will continue to distribute relief as needed with the assistance of the Women's Voluntary Service for Civil Defence. The WVS already has distributed large amounts of money contributed for relief by the British War Victims' Fund. They are another agency endorsed and recommended by Mr. Churchill. The Telegram will notify readers immediately should the situation become such that no further assistance is needed. In the meantime The Telegram will continue, as in the past, to transmit overseas 100 cents of every dollar without any charges or deductions. RED CROSS WORKERS ARE URGED TO 'STAY ON THE JOB" A MAN'S PRAYER TEACH n 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' 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 the fullest extent that our materials will allow. 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." BRITISH WAR BRIDES MUST REMAIN FOR DURATION Toronto, April 16, 1945--British war brides who have come to Ontario and are now seeking to return to Britain 'haven't a chance while the war asts," a Canadian Red Cross official declares. Several British war brides in To-that sixty minutes make | ronto and a number from outside have hour, sixteen ounces on pound, and one hundred cents one dollar. HELP me so to live that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. GRANT that I may earn my meal ticket on the square and that, in earning it, I may do unto others as I would have them do unto me. DEAFEN me to the gingle of tainted money and blind me to the faults of the other fellow, but reveal to me my own. GUIDE me so that each night when I look across the dinner table at my wife, who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing to conceal. KEEP me young enough to laugh with little children and sympathetic enough to be considerate of old age. THEN when comes the day of darkened shades and the smell of flowers -■ make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple -- "HERE LIES A MAN.' Black market is any transaction which by-passes the regular channels cf distribution for the benefit of a few greedy individuals. contacted the Red Cross in an effort to get back to England. This causes all departments a great deal of unnecessary work. Apart from the fact that it is unfeasible because of present shipping conditions, each of the brides who made application to come to Canada also signed at that time an undertaking promising that she would make no application to return to Britain until after the war. Why Worry' Over Rationing Our fathers existed without-- Sugar till the 13th century. Coal fires till the 14th. Buttered bread till the 15th. Potatoes and tobacco till the 16th. Coffee, tea, or soap till the 17th. Puddings till the 18th. Gas, matches, or electricity till the 20th. Automobiles and tinned goods till the 20th. So why worry over rationing or shortages? The old boys managed to get along fairly well.

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 organism. Potato growers are therefore advised to carefully disinfect all used potato bags which are on their prem-ires. The treatment does not involve much time but is cheap insurance against heavy losses from this disease. 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. respecting personality and property. We should care for others, especially nations." Miss Kidd strongly advised community centres for recreation, the lack of which, she said, is largely the cause of child delinquency and venereal diseases, and recommends-- "Food for Thought" for adult education. Also stresses having libraries in midst. Habits of sound social behaviour, intelligent and conscientious citizenship found in youth will deter-min the Canada of tomorrow.

The speaker strongly vised more Clubs than have been formerly. Much work, including slips and record books and posters were on display. Grafton has Miss Shirley Harnden holding Provincial Honours with eight certificates, having completed twelve units, and Miss Ruth Wilson has County Honours, having six certificates. Vernonville has Miss Marion Deviney with County Honours, with six certificates last year, and Miss Muriel Rutherford with County Honours this year. Mrs. Ross Bush, Consecon, Provincial Board Director, in her inspiring and thought-provoking address, stressed that Institutes study the Care of Young Girls and do not just send them out with a feather bed and a God Bless You ! We should look for people in office of genuine ability. Study standing committees and ge* reports in on time. It is hoped every W. I. Branch will have a Village History by 1947 for the 50th Anniversary of the W. I. Said the speaker "Form public opinion and then reform them.
