Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4th, 1945 VERNONVILLE October 2, 1945. A home coming welcome was held in Grafton town hall on Tuesday when Dr. Smith was presented with a couple of books on Art, also a book of remembrance, which were much appreciated. Rev. Wm. Sterling, of Colborne, who has been our minister for some time, was also presented with a lovely book. The turning back of the clocks caused some confusion, as some people went to church too early Sunday and had to wait an hour for the minister. Rev. Mr. Archer, Lakefield, attended the welcome home for Dr. Smith and is renewing old acquaintances here. Mrs. A. T. Waite spent Thursday with friends at Cobourg. We are sorry to report a few more cases of scarlet fever. Wicklow school is closed on account of sickness, Mr. and Mrs. Alton Haynes were recent guests of Mrs. Lome Fulford. The euchre and dance held at the Grafton town hall for returned boys was a great success. There were about twenty returned boys present and each was presented with a bill-fold. The heavy frost last night < did quite a lot of damage. We hope' the tomatoes are not all gone, as it has been a short season for them. Mrs. Keith Hare and baby, of Grafton, were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Haig and family. Dr. Jamieson, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Thos. Johnston, Grafton, were Sunday guests of Mrs. A. T. Waite. Sunday last was Rally Day at Vernonville Church. Mr. D. Archer was the guest speaker* Canada's Department of Agriculture has been undergoing a barrage from Canadian soldiers stationed the Netherlands and has had to call in army reinforcements to cope with it. The situation became drastic when the department had to examine more than 1,000,000 tulip bulbs sent by thoughtful soldiers to friends and relatives in Canada. Every one had to be inspected for disease and insects. Now the army is helping, and the tulip front has been restored to relative quiet. During peak operations of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, there were 73 flying schools and 24 RAF transferred schools in Canada. The plan's trained staff grew from 4,538 in 1940 to more than 140,000 by December, 1943. STATEMENT REGARDING 9th VICTORY LOAN BY FINANCE MINISTER United Church, Colborne Rev. Geo. D.

TWO LOANS IN ONE: The 9th Victory Loan opens October 22, 1945. It will be Canada's Greatest Victory Loan because it aims to cover Canada's borrowing needs for the next twelve months. Up to now, each new Victory Loan aimed to cover needs for only six months. So the 9th Loan is really two Loans in one.- One large Loan now instead of two smaller Loans, one now and another in the Spring of i946, means a real saving of time, effort and expense. It is possible to aim for a full year's needs in one Loan because Canada's borrowing requirements over the next twelve months will not be as large as they have been in recent years. NEW TASKS, NEW NEEDS: Vic tory has been won in Europe and ii the Pacific." The end of hostilities means the end of many war costs. But we now face new tasks. And these tasks bring new needs. So total outlays and borrowing requirements will continue at high levels. For instance, men in hundreds of thousands must be brought back their homeland from overseas. This will take time because of shipping shortages and continuing operations in occupied areas. Meanwhile, they must be paid, fed, housed and cared for in a hundred-and-one different ways. This all costs money-- amounts of it. Then, the wounded and the sick must be restored to health. Veterans will be given a good start in civilian life. Many will be trained for new jobs. War service gratuities and re-establishment credits will be paid. These and other rehabilitation outlays involve hundreds of millions of dollars. People in war-torn countries need food, clothing, medical and other supplies to relieve suffering and distress. The United Nations, including Canada, are making gifts of essential supplies to these peoples. Can-also lending money to countries in war areas to help them buy supplies in Canada urgently needed :ome the losses and devastation of war. The money Canada will spend and lend in these ways is an investment in the future peace and prosperity of the world. Then, there are outlays of various kinds to clean up the war program, and to start us on our way toward normal peacetime living. These tasks, and these needs, are asons why Canada's borrowing requirements for the next year will re-a high level even though direct war costs have declined with Victory in Europe and in the Pacific. They are reasons why Canadians are being asked to continue their present savings program for another year. WINNING THE PEACE: Plans to in the peace--plans for high employment and prosperity in the days to come--are now being laid. Con tinued saving over the next year will help these plans succeed. War production has come to end. Production for civilian use is the way up. But, the supply of n things to buy at current prices still very much less than the amount of spendable money in the hands of Canadians., As long as this condition remains, there will be upward pressure on prices--pressure which could lead to inflation, then to mass unemployment, misery and hardship. Spending increases this pressure. Saving reduces it. So, continued saving, by the purchase of 9th Victory Loan Bonds, helps to keep the cost of living under control, and to maintain the buying power of our money. By helping to maintain stability, it will help us to win the peace. 9TH VICTORY LOAN: The n mum objectives for the new Loan are the largest in Victory Loan history. They reflect the two-Loans-in-one feature of the 9th Victory Loan, the continued need for saving, and the new level of borrowing requirements. As individuals, Canadians know the value of Victory Bonds--the value of a reserve of savings to meet future needs and -wants. With twelve months to pay for 9th Loan Bonds, many Canadians will buy double the amount of their purchases in earlier Loans, and most others will buy more than before. The 9th Victory Loan will be Can-la's Greatest Victory Loan. J. L. ILSLEY, Minister of Finance. A large number of the prefabricated, barrack-type huts that sheltered United States Army soldiers and civilian workers during the building of the Alaska highway will be used this winter to house 400 returned service men and their families in Edmonton. Each unit will have its own living room, a small dining room off the kitchen, bathroom, utility room and one or two bedrooms. Regret for time wasted can become power of good in the time that remains. And the time that remains time enough, if we will only stop the waste and the idle, useless regretting.--Arthur Brisbane. Out-of-work benefits are included Canada's re-establishment machinery for former armed forces members. CONTESTS PLANNED FOR RURAL YOUTH AT WORLD MEETING At a joint meeting of the executive of the Ontario Junior Farmers Association and the Junior Directors of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, plans were made for a Provincial Conference of young people to be held coincident with the annual convention of the Federation of Agriculture in Toronto on January 9, 10 and 11 of next year. The young people's conference will be on the opening day of the convention, and will have as its climax a Provincial Rural Youth Public Speaking and Amateur Entertainment contest. As a preliminary to the provincial finals in these contests, a series of elimination contests will- be held throughout the province. The sixteen districts into which the Junior Farmer Association is divided will each have an elimination series, with the Junior Farmer Director in each district responsible for the arrangements. The winners in these district contests will be further narrowed down in five zone contests, the Province having been divided into five zones for this series. This will leave the five zone winners as the finalists in the Public Speaking Contest, and the first and second place entries in the amateur entertainment competitions will appear in the finals in Toronto. In addition to these contests as an evening feature, a full day's pro- BABY'S RATION BOOK Parents of newborn babies may now secure the baby's book right at the hospital or maternity home.

Youth organizations from all over Canada will select delegates representing Canadian youth in business, farm, labour, religious and racial groupings.

In addition to this meeting in Toronto, it is likely that an Eastern Ontario Junior Farmer Conference will be held at the Kemptville Agricultural School during the week between Christmas and New Years, and that a joint annual meeting and conference of Junior Farmers will be held at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, during Easter Week if the necessary arrangements for accommodation can be made. TO REPRESENT JUNIOR FARMERS Howard Laidlaw, of Norval, Ontario, President of the Ontario Junior Farmers Association, has been unanimously selected by the directors of the Association as a delegate to represent the farm youth of Canada at the World Youth Conference which is to be held in London, England, from October 31 to November 7. This Conference is being held under the auspices of the World Youth Council, an international body organized as a result of an International Youth Conference held in London in 1942. This Council is now representative of the youth movements of 46 different countries. All phases of youth activity are included in the agenda for the World Youth Conference, and a wide range of Canadian youth groups is interested in having Canada represented by its full allotment of ten delegates. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture has indicated that it will name the Ontario Junior Farmers nominee as its representative at the Conference so that Mr. Laidlaw will be representing the farm youth of the Dominion at this important gathering. Canada's ninth and biggest Victory Loan begins on October 22. It will be two loans in one, covering 12 months instead of six. Its objective will exceed the record goal of $1,350-000,000 which was set and over-subscribed during the eighth loan. JUNIOR FARMERS FIELD DAY PLAN TO BE EXTENDED Having made an outstanding success of two Junior Farmer Field Days held at Kemptville and Guelph in 1945, the Ontario Junior Farmer Association plans to broaden its activities in the field of sport and athletics in 1946. At an executive meeting held in Toronto this week, it was decided to hold four regional field days next summer, and there is a possibility that the winning Softball teams and athletes in these regional meetings will come together for Provincial championship finals at some central point. The four regional meetings will be held at Kemptville, Presqu'ile Park, Guelph and Ridgetown, and in addition to boys' and girls' Softball tournaments, will include a program of track and field athletics. The Junior Farmer Association, in planning next summer's activities, is planning to have an important part in arranging events for the Canadian National Exhibition when it is revived, probably in 1947. It is hoped that in that year regional sports and athletic meetings will be held at several points in Ontario, and the finals for the Provincial Championships being held at the Canadian National Exhibition as part of the program for the Junior Farmer Day, if the co-operation of the C.N.E^ management can be secured. the man who looks ahead who gets ahead.

If we need cash in an emergency any bank will buy Victory Bonds at any time. And any bank will loan money on Victory Bonds. The Ninth Victory Loan will be our last opportunity to buy Victory Bonds for a whole year, so buy double this time--the same rate of savings as in previous loans will pay for twice as many bonds over the 12 month period.

Pay 5% when ordering and the balance at any time during the next 12 months. The interest the bonds earn pays the interest on the bank loan. ] NATIONAL WAR NANCE COMMITTEE
