And the farmer who does not take the trouble to fill in this blank form and get it back into the Committee's hands, will have missed one valuable opportunity to help solve his labor, feed, seed, and other problems. There are a number of men in town who are willing to go to con- siderable trouble and expense if they can be of any practical assistance to the farmer to increase production.

A + Tar and Hay ) A new. material for road repair and construction has been used-- tir mixed with hay. It is Said to provide a reasonably satisfactory wearing surface, but nothing can yet'be said as to its durability, 'or its relative cost as a road material. COAL Several factors enter into the coal problem. _ First, labor; "second, transportation; third, the unusually large demand; and, fourth, the gradual using up of the reserve stock, until they are almost: exhausted. Very few people realize what enormous reserve stocks were held at the mines, or how near we are now to the edge of things. 1 Whitby's Prospective Industries Some of these days Whitby will wake up and find itself. famous. Tt will be a great ceutre for a military depog an aviation school,' ship- building, or something else. Never mind, the pessimists are having their day just now, 'and are More than that, they are doing thei best to make their "I told you so" come true. It's the easiest job on ts to kick, and it's one of the most useless jobs. - Fortunately Whitby Town has Its id-alists and its Asosing busi- ness men, who will nail down a big industry some of these days because Whitby is the right place for such an industry. Growth in a town is like growth in a boy. Both look awkward in the process, and people laugh at them. But when they 'are filled out, the people quit laughing and wonder how it happened. The idealists know that it did not happen, but that there was much hard 'work and some failures at the back of the final success. Just now, Whitby is receiving some attention as a possible "location for ship-building yards. Mr. Dahlgren (representing Cleveland capital. ists interested in ship-building) has in this connection theroughly in- spected Whitby harbor, and pronounces'it one of the best locations for their purpose. Mr. Frank Barber, G.E., late president of the 'Company which the Dominion has absorbed, has also, after several visits of ine spection expressed himself favorably to Whitby, The chief reason for the interest in Whitby is that it affords five fold the space for shipways and incidental equipaient of buildings. Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair Married On Thuisday afternoon, January 3rd, 1918, Mr. W. E. N. : Siaclair and Miss Edna Worden, * daughter of Mr, E. Worden of: Darlington Township, were quietly married in Toronto by the Rev. Mr. Johnson, after which they left on a short trip to Buffalo and Boston. Miss Worden, who is a trained nurse, has been home during the past year looking after her father. who has been ill. The many friends of Mr and Mrs Sinclair extend congratulations.--Oshawa Reformer. THE STORM The world seems to be running on a stupendous scale these days -- "the biggest ever" seems to be the keynote of all that 'is 'happening, storms, explosions, shipwrecks, wars, all are on a scale that stagger the imagination. And now we have on hand the biggest blockade on record. Less trains have been run in and out of the Union Station Toronto, dur- ing the past few days, than ever before in the history of the city. \ For! the first time in many years the mail trains on the main line 'were can- celled. Trains were stalled everywhere, At Burketon there were seven trains were tied up. Mr. McPhail had 150 people to féed. AtMyrs ~ Mr Williams had 70 people to feed. ; There may be a train through on the Whitby-Lindsay: tine, and there may not. There's said to be 12 feet of snow on the track at McConnell's cut.
