For instance, an area of ground sufficient to produce 10 tons of grass annually will support 1,000 field mice weighing about 65 pounds. And an owl, weighing half a pound or so, can devour 1,000 mice in a single season! When stitching leaves together for a nest, ants use their silkâ€"spinâ€" ning young as shuttles.

A number of summonses have been issued aflimt the ofâ€" fenders and police intend to deal severel{ with any such infractions, of the law in the future. Mr. Elwood A.

"In fact," he added, it will take us about 15 months to get the grounds and buildings in shape after the forces move out. When the original agreeâ€" ment was drafted for the use of the _ exhibition _ grounds," _ Mr. Hughes said, "the war in the Paâ€" cific had not started. A clause in the agreement stated the grounds would be vncnh%;lx months after the end of hostilittes in Europe. I understand the grounds will be needed for some time yet for a deâ€" mobilization centre, especially for the army and air force." Asked if there would be an exhibition in 1946, Mr. Hughes said it is still too far off to say.

The meeting. was under the convenorship of Mrs. Druiding and the devotional period was in chlrfie of Mrs. Newton and Mrs. Dee. Mrs. Dancy read a poem by Edgar Guest entitled, "Prayer for the Home," which was most appropriate for the theme of the afternoon‘s program. Mrs. H. F. Sproule, addressed the meeting on, "The Christian Home and Family Life," stressing the use of daily family worshipâ€" the highest contribution and mainâ€" spring of Christian living, and stressing also the importance of each member of the family from the youngest to the oldest, sharâ€" ing in this worshii service. . This early, impressionable training in spiritual â€" fellowship _ of rayer would be of inestimable va?ue to the boyhood and girlhood of the home, as they went out later to face the difficulties and temptaâ€" tions of life. Mrs. Sproule closed her impressive and greatly appreâ€" ciated talk with prayer. Rev. George Roe, Mr. G. Harvey Hand, Dr. S. J.

PERSON A LS Lex MacKenzie is a champion of Labour, the Farmer and the War Veteran. He firmly supports what George Drew has already accomplished, and will keep faith with the voters when he takes his place in the next government. He states: Although lacking the advantage of a seat in the House, Lex MacKenzie has been a frequent visitor to the Parliament Buildings and without remuneration, has given unselfishly of his time in the interests of Labour, the Farnmier and the War Veteran. MAJOR LEX MacKENZIE, M.C. "Having accomplished so much during his short term of office and having proven himself the friend of Labour, the Farmer and the War Veteran, George Drew is the man to lead us through the post war period."

The The Women‘s Gl&d and members of "St. Matthias‘ Church, Scarlett Road, extend their deepest symâ€" passing of Mr. Habman came as a smt shock to niany as it was unâ€" erstood he was making progress towards recovery. The Women‘s Guild held a gift shower on Wednesday May 16th in the Sunday school room of St. Matthias‘ Church. A variety. of articles were donated for the Spring Sale which will be held on Saturfiny June 2nd at 2.30 p.m. The Young People of St. Matâ€" thias‘ Chur,c‘{ staged a humourous play entitled "Aunt Tillie Goes To ‘fown":in Humber Heights School on Friday evening, May 18. Mr. Cathcart directed the play and‘both he and the young folk are to be congr@tulated on . the success it proved to be. John Watkins, who took the part of Mervin Tucker, alias Aunt Tillie, caused a great deal of laughter by his impersonaâ€" tions and troubles, Irene Carey was excellent as the man hating Aunt Tillie, Allan Jeffries as Ronald Howland, a man about town had an exacting role and played it well. Jack Waghorn mms)e quite a hit with the audience as a chairman. Irene Jeffrey as the career woman, Lizzie Parsons acted well and gave a lot of advice to Pamela Marsh ably played by Anne Gritten who had quite a lot to remember, Marâ€" jory Gritten was yet another Aunt Tillie, no wonder there was a conâ€" fusion of Aunt Tillies. Laura Banâ€" ter played the part of Lucinda, the maid. Everyone will agree she did a splendid job in a long exacting role. Doris Carey was an appealing Ellen Neeland and carried her flart wonderfully well. Margaret Isherâ€" wood made a good Doctor Hattie Bing. We hope Mervin, alias Aunt Tillie is none the worse for the pounding with the mallet. Mr. Cathcart took the part of Mr. Lorâ€" rimer and became quite attached in the end to the«man hating Aunt Tillie. All in all the play provided the audience with a great many laughs and it was really needed 1after the depressing weather of the last couple of weeks. Jim Hawkins sang two songs at each intermission and his singing was thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. John Noon accompanied him and also played for a short community sing song, for the children in the auâ€" dience. Earl Toole States Party Policies At Political Meetings | WESTMOUNT | "We believe in uniform labor legislation for all parts of the Doâ€" minion. We believe in equal repreâ€" sentation of management and labor on all boards or agencies. We beâ€" lieve in holidays with pay," deâ€" clared Earl Toole, Progressive Conâ€" servative candidate for the North York seat in the House of Commons at election campaign meetings in various parts of the constituency. "We believe women should reâ€" ceive equal pay for equal work. We believe in rabor manafiment coâ€" operation," continued r. Toole, stating that the above were the fundamentals of the Progressive Conservative policies in regard to labor. These policies were clearly defined at the party‘s Winnipeg convention in 1942. "Satisfactory _ labor conditions are essential to good government VOTE ...

In earlier days this was satisfactory but with the national and international growth of trade unions, labor ?uu-, tions have also become national and international. This is one of the main reasons provincial leaders across the Dominion have been askâ€" ing for _ a Dominionâ€"Provincial gnaetingâ€"& reguest adamantly reâ€" jected by the Prime Minister. e Sm ie nnede ols oo e "Equal representation of manâ€" agement and labor on all boards is another natural growth of the trade union movement. _ Labot ‘needs capital to provide it with machines and capital heeds labor to o!nrwe those machines. War and its mutual goalâ€"victoryâ€"has brought about a greater underâ€" sundin%between capital and labor. T he rogressive _ Conservative party is pledged to retain and strengthen _ that â€" understanding," continued Mr. Toole. Profit Motive Healthy "The profit motive, which C.C.F. spokesmen would have you regard as somethingtâ€"evil, is a healthy normal motive. It is something both capital and labor should have opportunity to work far and, to so do, they must realize that each is complimentary to the otherâ€"that their interests are the same. Labor profits by the energetic, enterprisâ€" ing, fairâ€"minded employer; capital profits by the industrious, wellâ€" paid, ambitious employee. If the two work in harmony nothing can stop them. "The Progressive Conservative party believes in the responsibility of organizing productive use of both workers ar?f capital. Management and government between them must share responsibility for employâ€" ment of those seeking admission to industry. The Progressive Conserâ€" vative party believes that private enterprise can and will do its share in this coâ€"operative responsibility. To Set Up q’ool To promote this coâ€"operation, there is a plan whereby industry will take a survey of its own plants and set up a pool to which this surâ€" vey will go. ’Fhen lists will be made of available employmentâ€"employâ€" ment for disables as well as the phgsica]ly fit. Representatives of industry could then interview men in hospitals and rehabilitation cenâ€" tres, setting forth the jobs availâ€" able and actually filling the jobs with these returned men. "Thus it is coâ€"operation that will provide employment, not state dicâ€" tation. State dictation means loss .
