PREVENT FLIES FROM CONTAMINATING FOOD With the coming of warm weather house flies will be swarming from manure and refuse piles to the house, carrying disease. House flies breed in filth, particles of which adhere to their bodies. They deposit this filth and the germs in it wherever they alight, on dishes, on food and on the face of a sleeping child. Yet many people disregard this menace to the health of their families and make only half-hearted attempts to keep flies out of the The farm homes most successful in preventing the entrance of house flies are those which pay attention to limiting the breeding grounds of this insect. Farmers, alert to the danger of the house fly, burn household garbage regularly and dispose of manure. While this cleanliness reduces the number of flies on the farm, it still does not dispose of all of them. For this reason, the Dominion Department of Agriculture recommends that doors and windows should be screened and flies that find their way into the home should be promptly destroyed by fly swatters, sticky paper, poison fly pads and sprays. Tantalite, the rare and precious ore of the metal tantalum which was in great demand during the war, has been found in considerable quantities in Canada's Northwest Territories. This adds one more rare metal to Canada's list. United Church, Colborne Rev. Geo. D. CampbeU ...... Minister Mr. Floyd Edwards................ Organist Mrs. C. McMuHen .......

An important rehabilitation plan, designed to speed the return of hundreds of service men to civilian life and, at the same time, make available a corps of trained personnel required to launch Hydro's five-year rural electrification project, has been announced by Dr. Thomas H. Hogg, chairman of The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. On September 4th this plan becomes effective with the opening of the Commission's school for the training of linemen. Located on the site of the York transformer station on Royal York Road, this school, which comes under the direction of the Commission's personnel department, headed by Wills Maclachlan, will be under immediate supervision of S. K. Cheney with K. W. MacDermatt acting as chief instructor. Present plans indicate that approximately 50 students' each year to fill positions as linemen required to meet the needs of the Commission's post-war plans which include the five-year rural electification programme, announced recently by Hon. George H. ChaUies, vice-chairman of the Commission, and involving the bulling of over 7,000 miles of new rural distribution line. Hydro municipalities throughout Ontario, through the Ontario Municipal Electric Association, headed by W. Ross Strike, former mayor of Bowmanville, and now a member of the Hydro Commission, have had an active role in bringing the new plan into effect. Both the Association and the Commission, it is pointed out, recognize the need for such a school where linemen could be trained for Commission service and also for positions with local Hydro utilities. At the some time, the Department of "Veteran's Affairs is co-operating closely in the development of the plan. The Commission indicated that this school would be the largest of its kind in Canada and that it was highly probable its facilities would be extended to include training in other trades associated wth the op-eraton of Hydro. The present buildings, although of a temporary character, are completely equipped. In addition to the school proper, there will be sleeping and dining accommodation for the students and instructors. Present facli-ties in the school include all the tools used in line work. The course is one which emphasis is definitely on the practical work which will be supplemented by lectures and visual educational methods involving the use of sound pictures. In this way, men who are "green" at the start will, at the close of the course, be thoroughly familiar with the most modern methods of line construction, the theory of electricity and safety practices. Students who pass the examination will then be ready to take positions as junior linemen. The men who direct the operations of the school are specially fitted for the work, the supervisory and teaching personnel having had years of experience in many phases of Hydro work, while they have been specially trained for their new tasks. For the most part, students will come from the ranks of returning service men. To qualify for enrolment, a student must have a minimum of two year's high school education, be physically fit and have a liking for out-door work. VERNONVILLE . August 28th, 1945 Dr. and Mrs. E. Grueninger and daughter Betty, from New Jersey, are visiting Mrs. Grueninger's aunt, Mrs. James Deviney. The doctor just recently returned from India. Miss Rena Cowey spent a few days with Misses Marion and Ruth Deviney. Mrs. J. Johnston, Cobourg, spent a few days last week with Mrs. James Deviney. Misses Marion and Ruth Deviney spent last week camping at Oak Lake. Mrs. Alida Cameron and daughter, Mrs. Walter Baumgartner (Mildred), of Detroit, Michigan, spent the week at the home of Mrs. James Deviney. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ainsworth spent Friday at Cobourg. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Waite are visiting friends at Toronto this week. Mrs. A. T. Waite and Mrs. J. Deviney spent a day last week with Mrs. L. Fulford. Mrs. Bruce Usher called on Mr. and Mrs. Milton Usher on Wednesday last. Mrs. Henry, of Montreal, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Gordon Barton. Mrs. W. Taylor and daughter Grace spent Saturday with friends at Kingston. EFFECT OF LEAVING MILK ON DOORSTEP Householders who allow bottled milk on doorsteps or apartment passages to be exposed to direct sunshine get less for their money, according to recent research reports. Tests showed that bottled milk exposed to late morning sun for an hour lost 26 to 36 pe rcent of its riboflavin. In two hours over half the riboflavin content was lost. Riboflavin is one of the essential B complex vitamins. Prolonged deficiency of this necessary food element may result in eye disorders and organic damage. As so often happens under present regulations, milk is delivered after all members of a household have gone to war work, and remains exposed for a long time. Under these circumstances, it is a good plan to have a covered box into which the milkman could place the bottles. RETURNING TO CIVILIAN LIFE Any person who has received their discharge from any branch of the armed services and wishing xo secure their ration book should make application to their nearest Local Ration Board, presenting their discharge papers or a letter from their Commanding Officer certifying to their discharge. In the case of discharges from the R.C.A.F. it will be necessary to present a release certificate. If lt is not convenient to go to the office with your application and realease you may mail all necessary papers to the Local Ration Board office. Buy War Savings Stamps!
