"That seems a great many and when, we realize that this trend is multiplied in many counties it adds up to a tremendous thing the way the government has aided Veterans in establishing home ownership, : . : around three thousand dollars depending on the amount of labojr which they are able to do themselves. When the house is finished V.L..A. will help with the landscaping and gardening plans, * Under the gardening plan a veteran is encouraged to "specialize "to capitalize'; on their small holdings. One has done well with mink, BLACKSTOCK Several car loads of ladies motored to Port Perry on Wednesday evening and enjoyed the Fashion Show in the High School Auditorium. Mrs. Ray Snooks was the winner of Cologne, and Mrs. John: Grieve won-nylons. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

A 1 figures by making good/profit from strawberries and sweet corn. Another has been-spectdtular by breeding dogs and his bull-mastiffs are prize winners and much in demand. The supervisors love the ingenuity shown by the majority of their. boys and they are always to be counted on for advice and encouragement. "If a veteran does not.spend the allowed amount on the building of his house he is allowed the 'difference for improvements. are encouraged to buy stock, fruit trees, etc. and can spend up to two hundred and fifty dollars in the house for- added improvements. Ninety percent. of the wives are the bookkeepers for the venture and they prove to be better at figures than their husbands. All are paying their own wiy and there is very little, in fact, no trouble with the small holders. The veteran is proving a sound business man, he is an asset to the community he lives -in and there are very few dead-beats. . It seems to have been proved that the man who was an active soldier doing his share is also a good citizen and one worthy of assistance. There have been no problems due to battle association.' Many veterans around south Ontarie work in Oshawa indus- They in the Community Hall on Friday ev- ening there were ten tables, the first prizes wére won by James Emerton and Doréen Van Camp.

We would like every "lady in: the community who 'feels an interest in this work to be a member of the Auxiliary. Flease accept this invita- tion to join and contact your repre- sentative, Mra. Bruce Holtby, to have your name put--ei-the. membership tries and anyone working a five day week still will have a good ~ bit 'of time to spend working his holdings. up to maximum appear- : ance and satisfaction. SKIING AT BANFF - Certainly a rural small holding is -4 wonderful family home, fresh air, abounding as it does and the space which children love. Sometimes the space becomes a problem to the holder. One family who have. four acegs find that they have too much land for a gar- den tractor and still they are too small to expect custom work to .be done at the necessary time, They produce garden stuff and mm a good yemgpake a good. income from their land as well as cut their food bills way down; there are times 'when they have "just too much land. = } T If you take over a ready built house there can be a long 'drawn out--periiod- of remodelling and-improving to get your holding in the sort of condition in which you care to dwell. It takes the same sort of perseverance and fortitude which the veterans had to use in war zones to win the long struggle to make individual dreams come true in a family, : Ninteen. dollars and ninety cents is the maximum payment per month om a twenty-five year contract, many are less and this who love Banff in the Rockies . . .-winter paradise for those the thrill of active outdoor sporls . . .
