PORT PERRY; ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 19th, 1942 WITH BRITAIN'S VICTORIOUS ARMIES IN LIBYA ' In the séven weeks dating from the beginning of the great British offensive in Libya, the British, Indian and Dominion forces under General Auchinleck shattered Axis strongholds and resistance on this front, relieved the garrison of Tobruk, und drove the battered and depleted German panzer divisions westwards in full retreat towards Tripolania. This picture shows an Indian Bren gun carrier finishing off a German tank, set on fire by a hit from a British tank at the height of battle, Good News For Vegetable Growers J, C, Taggurt, foods administrator, wartime Prices and Trade Board, had good news tor vegetable growers when ne announced growers will receive in- creased prices for their 1942 crops of tomatoes, peas, corn, green and wax beans. A board order calls for the shia 'ing increases over 1041 prices: to- matoes $1 per ton; peas $7.50 per ton on the shelled weight basis, or $1.60 per ton straw weight; corn $2 per ton, green and wax beans, on the average, an increase of $6 per ton. The price increase gives encour- agement to growers of those vege- tables which are staple for canning. IL is recognized, moreover, that in most districts growers' costs will be higher this year, due, to some extent, to the labor situation, Tin is no longer available for can- ning any but essential, perishable foods of high nutritional value such as tomatoes, peas, corn and beans, It is not sgvailable for foods that can be preserved in some other way than by the use of tin--such as apples, "whole beans, beets and carrots. Pork and beans for example, will soon have to be put up in domestic kitchens. The Wartimes Prices and Trade Board demands all persons and busi- nesses dealing in goods or services under the Maximum Prices Regula- tions that they must secure n license before March 31st. Application forms may be obtained at the nearest post-office. ) TO PREVENT LOSSES AT E LAMBING TIME It is profitable to have early lambs. Saving lambs in March and April adds to 'the number that can be marketed in July and August, just the time when early lamb meat is in most de- mang. The following ten points are important in the reduction-of lamb losses provided. that the ewe flock is watched carefully and given good management at this season of the year: 9 : 1. Go over the ewe flock carefully to find ewes that are developing ud- ders. Sometimes a ram lamb or a stray ram has bred some ewes early. Such ewes may be the most profitable if the lambs are saved; "9, Early lambing c¢wes should Le placed by themselves in the warmest| part of the barn, preferably in clean sunny quarters; 3. Give close attention day and --and night to ewes expected to lamb eaxly. Just before lambing, ewes be- come restless and are sunken in front --of-the hips and over the rump. Place such ewes in a warm pen or box stall, 4. A quarter to one-half pound of grain should be fed to ewes heavy in lamb at this season. Two parts whole oats and.one part bran makes an excellent grain ration. Feed the best of clover or alfalfa hay as a roughage; 6. Give each ewe a separate pen at lambing time, 3 feet by 4 Teet is about the right si¥e, A box stall 12 feet by _. 18 feet will provide lambing pens for seven or eight ewes; 6. Lambs weak at birth can often be revived. Remove any mucous or membrane from the .mouth, rub and * slap the lamb gently on the ribs. En- deavour to get the ewe to clean the lamb: at once and see that it nurses as -Chilled lambs may be warmed up by putting them tn a warm box wrapped in a light wool blanket. Stubborn cases may require some stimulant; 7. Give the ewe a warm drink, to which has been added about a quart' of barn, Do not feed any grain for at least 24 hotirs and then only Sparing- ly for a couple of days. Feed all she will eat of good clover or alfalfa hay.' Shear the wool away from the udder; | 8. Make sure there is milk in the udder, and have had plenty. of exercise usual- ly have plenty of milk; 9. Early lambs being nursed by good milking ewes will gain from one- half to a pound a day. Increase the grain gradually until ewes with twin lambs get 1% Ibs, to 2 bs, daily. One to two lbs. of silage daily, will also stimulate the milk flow; 10. At ten days of age, young lambs start to nibble at clover or al- falfa leaves. Give them a creep where they can be encouraged to eat specially selected clover or alfalfa and a grain mixture of rolled oats 2 pints, cracked corn 1 pint, bran 1 pint and 10 per cent oilepke. Se o-------- -- ONE DELIVERY PER DAY DECREED FOR RETAILERS Curtailment is intended to Conserve Rubber and Motor Equipment, James Stewart Explains: Ottawa, March 16.--Curtailment of retail deliveries in Canada was or- dered todny by James Stewart of To- ronto, administrator of services for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The order was made public in a board statement which said the move signified the launching of a "cam- | paign to conserve rubber and motor- ized equipment." ) "After March 18 no retailer may make or cause to be made on behalf of cither himself or a customer more than one regular delivery a day over any particular route or in any par- ticular area except with special auth- orization of the administrator," the board said. "Authority is also required for any type of special delivery. "Delivery of daily newspapers, fuel including coal, coke, oil and wood is exempted, as are deliveries to hos- pitals, railways and steamships or to the Department of National Defense or Munitions and Supply. "Drugs or medicines prescribed 'by doctors or physicians may also be de- livered without special permission." Mr, Stewart was quoted in the statement as saying: Ewes that have been well fed!

Even city dwellers will find that an outbuilding would be none the worse for a Spring touch up, Persons may be hesitant about using whitewash through the fear that' a shower of rain might ruin it, but the Dominion Experimental Farms Service has evolved a waterproof whitewash for outdoor ~work ~ which will prevent a newly whitewashed barn from looking a picture of desolation after a down- pour, This waterproof whitewash is made up proportionately as follows: slake 62 pounds of quicklimg¢ in 12 gallons of hot water, and add two pounds of salt and one pound of sulphate of zine dissolved in two gallons of water. To this, add two gallons of skim- milk. An ounce of alum, although not essential, improves the wash, Salt should be omitted if the wash is to be used on metal that rusts, Another recipe for waterproof cold water paint is made in the following proportions: beat up one pound casein in a pint of cold water; dilute with one-half gallon cold' water, and add eight fluid ounces of ammonia. Stir until 'a smooth jelly is formed, then add one-quarter fluid ounce of formal- dehyde. as. a preservative. Stir in hydrated lime until a maderptely thick paste is formed, and then dilute with water, or alcohol, or turpentine, or linseed oi] as may _he desired until a proper brush consistency is obtained. 'Cold water paint should be "laid on" and not "brushed out" as is done 'with oil paints.- For farm buildings a disinfectant whitewash may be desired. Here is a recipe recomniended by the Dominion Experimental Station at Scott, Sas- katchewan. Dissolve 50 pounds 'of lime in eight gallons of boiling water; add six gallons of hot water which has ten pounds of salt and one pound ! Add a can mixture. Add a pound of cement to every three gallons gradually and stir thoroughly, ~The alum prevents the wash rubbing off, and the cement makes a more creamy mixture casy to apply. and covering more surface. A quart of crcosol disin- 'fectant may be used instead of the lye, but lye is preferred when the colour is to be kept white, a --_---- toe HOME FRONT ] 'Sure the Japs have taken Singapore-- the dirty auld Spalpeens, An' now they're afther Java too An' folks are all a wonderin' what the varmint Hitler means, To hatch up wheni the long eawld wenther's through "Wurra, Wurra" sez me neighbor "sure and I can't slape at night Wid all the tales we hear of grief and woe An' 'the auld deserted places and the little hungry faces Seem to hant me iv're place I go" wantin' Blessed C---- ---- Ptione 72w, GOOD MEATS Properly dressed and well kept - Always available at reasonable price, by ordering from el MacGREGOR, BUTCHER "PORT PERRY Myrtle Station _ The suppét on Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Woman's number. The first course, Irish stew, was all that an Irish stew should be and the gusto with which it was eaten was evidence enough of its quality. After supper, Chinese checkers were played by several groups. This has become a very popular game and al- ready, budding. experts are proving their skill, A brief program was also a part of the evening's entertainment. A chorus of girls*sang the "Victory Song". Mrs. Gervan gave a humor- ous reading which showed the folly of telling a sécond lie to cover the first one. It was the story of the little old woman who swallowed a fly.-Then she swallowed a-splder--think of a spider inside herl--to catch the fly. She swallowed a bitd, which, of course was absurd, to catch the spider inside her that went down to catch the fly. Then the little old woman swallowed a cat -- imagine that -- to catch the bird, Eventually she "went all hog" and swallowed a dog, then a cow, I don't know how and that was the end of the story. A quiz made it. neces- sary to put on thinking caps. Mr. Gervan sang an Irish. song, "The Minstrel Boy" and a duet by Mys. C. Harrison and Mrs. Gepvan brought the program to a clage, Mr. A.
