THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25th, 1945 THE WAR AMPUTATIONS OF CANADA Opening date of their public appeal for funds, as already announced by the Toronto Branch of the War Amputations of Canada, will be postponed by one week owing to an unforeseen overlapping with the drive of the Salvation Army. It is now set to start on November 24th. "We feel grateful to the Salvation Army for the splendid work they did in both of the gteat wars. So the Amps hope their campaign will be a real success," said Robert Wilson, chairman of the War Amputations building fund committee. "We had no idea that dates would conflict when we, first announced our own campaign." Proceeds of the War Amps' appeal will be used to build, equip and maintain a permanent health, training and recreation centre for war amputation cases. The objective has been set at $500,000. Now that the fighting war is over, some of the reasons for higher costs will gradually disappear as better sources of supply of raw materials open up and shipping becomes freely available, as experienced labour returns to peacetime industry, as labour turnover and overtime decline, and as some of the inevitably wasteful procedures associated with war production are cleaned up.

M.D. 3 No. UNITS EXCEED QUOTA IN NINTH VICTORY LOAN Kingston, Oct. 24--Units in Military District No. 3 have climbed to fifth place today in the race for army district honors in Canada's Ninth Victory Loan. They have obtained 130 percent of their objective, an oversubscription of more than $247,700, and indications were favourable for a further substantial increase in oversubscription before the end of the loan. Among the units there were eral who had progressed beyond the 300 percent mark in the campaign. Notable among these were No. 39 Administrative Unit, C.W.A.C., at Brockville with 381 percent; No. 33 Coy., Cdn. Provost Corps at Ottawa with 373 percent; and No. 3 Coy., R.C.E.M.E., at Kingston with 355 percent. Quite a number of other units had passed the 200 percent mark and were still climbing rapidly. According to Lt.-Col. R. G. Peat, Chairman of M.D. 3 Victory Loan campaign, it was evident that Canadian soldiers did not rest on their laurels when the fighting was over. They were still in there pitching, he said, quite willing to carry on by buying Victory Bonds and thus en-themselves of a secure place on Civvie Street. HOG PRODUCERS In Northumberland County the Hog Producers' Association was represented at a meeting in Toronto, October 16th, by Messrs. Ray Petty, Warkworth; Mr. Barnum, Campbellford; William Usborne, Colborne. The entire meeting went on record as ouring the market scheme whereby the producer would have some trol. The County meeting is planned for Warkworth on Friday, November 16th, to be addressed by W. E. Tum-mon, Secretary of the Provincial Organization with Roy Darling, president of the local group, in charge. This matter has recently had much discussion in the Agricultural Press. It is proposed that Hog Producers will register with Agriculture Representative either in person or by letter. Any persons owning hogs are eligible to vote. To finance the organization a levy of 2c a hog is planned. The idea of regulation of the product is in line with many others such as Tomato Growers and Whole Milk shippers. In the past too frequently farmers had no knowledge of the situation and often produced more of the product when the market was already over supplied and prices dropped.

In a message addressed to farmers, Mr. Hannam says: "The farmer who is wise will look ahead and plan carefully. "And in these years when prices and returns are more satisfactory than they have been, when labor is scarce, when farm machinery is restricted, when building materials are not readily available, a good course to follow would be that of putting a substantial share of the year's earnings into sound securities such as Victory Bonds. These reserves will not only provide a measure of insurance against difficulties in less favorable years, but at such time when supplies are favorable and costs will probably be lower, their purchasing power will be greater and return from them correspondingly increased. "We believe this is good planning from the farmer's standpoint. At the same time, it is the very best of planning from the standpoint of the Nation." FARMERS CAN BUY VICTORY BONDS on convenient deferred payments THROOGH ANY BANK . . . just sign a short form letter which Victory Loan Salesmen carry (banks have copies) ordering the bank to buy Victory Bonds for you. 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.

There was the farmer, for example, who wrote that his telephone enabled him to get better prices for his crops. "It gets me to market in a few seconds," he said, "and at the best time." Today, the number of rural telephones is at an all-time high. When materials and man-power are again available, it will be much higher. Telephone service for farms will be even better than ever before.
