PETERS â€"Continued on page 2 MARRIED JULY 18th 28 MAIN N. Somewhere in the Gospel of St. Matthew there is a picturesque re« mark by Jesus, which today is lit» erally true in Ontario: “T‘o har« vest truly is plentous but <the labourers are few." _ Generally speaking, the citizens of this fair province are not sufficiently seized y “""t“fo'é;?.'?kf.““‘&?..‘; with respec 07 to garner the < bountiful harvest which nature, under God,, has so profusely provided. _ In Ti&om to several requests from erent sources announce~ ment is made this week by Mayor Gordon Harris that the town hall staff will receive the names of volâ€" unteers willing to give any time at all to the harvesting of: crops on farms in the district. It is to the credit of Mayor Harâ€" ris and the Ministerial Association that a plan has been devisedâ€"which it is hoped will be of material asâ€" sistance to our farmers locally. The glfin may be briefly outlined as ollows : (1) The Weston town hall staff will act as a refistution‘ agent, Mr. Stanley Smuck acting as secâ€" retary. (2) Farmers are r‘:_i\ulhd to register with Mr. Sm the kind of help they need, when andâ€" for how long the helr is required. The :Komon of the plan desire to avoid e mistake of sending ‘a boy to do> a man‘s job, and thisâ€"can be.â€"doneâ€" only if the nature of the work is known and when and for how Jong. the help. is needed. ‘Therefore, farmers, you are urged to register> at.once. : If it is not, convenient for, you to see Mr. Smuck, then get in. touch withâ€"any of theâ€"local who are on duty during. the a~ days and your name and needs will be registered. o (3) And now comes the opporâ€" tunity for every citizen of Weston to help; ‘teenâ€"age fil.fl! and boys, young women as well as the men of all ages. Everyone can help, for the fruits and vegetables, the hay alianed & 5o io yose, Spone allow go waste. your name at once with Mr. Smuck, stating what you can do,â€"and when youcangotohotl}). Some will be able to five a half day or perhaps two days a week. Others may be able to give a whole day. Some may be willing to give a whole week out of your holidays. Put the spirit of sacrifice into the needy situâ€" ation.. It is exr:c ted the farmers will give suitable remuneration for the work done. _/ .> . }. _ It would be a fine thing if u:m four or five ableâ€"bodied men w club together and‘go out to some James Hugill 69 Called By Death CPut (l)(uhr of Wo::;d Eik ounty Orange Lodm siâ€" dent of Weston for Jut ":l'fz years, James Hugill, 69, away on Friday evening at his home, 110 Rosemount avenue. _ ‘The funeral was held on Monday with service at his home and vm ment was made in Ri f cemetery. â€"Continued on page 2
