War Contracts totalling well over $100,000,000 have been placed, stimulating every branch of Canadian industry. Canadian employment has hit an allâ€"time high owing to these orders and to good inâ€" ternal business conditions. Armament deliveries are approaching fullâ€" speed: aecroplanes, Bren guns, tanks, artillery accessories, shipsâ€"all coming forward in impressive quantities. Such a record simply didn‘t just happen, It resulted from the efforts of a strong adminisâ€" tration working on behalf of a country united in all its parts as never before. And this singleness of purposeâ€"conspicuously absent in 1914â€"is due to the vision, understanding and drive of individual Canadian and Empireâ€" minded Statesmen who back the Empire‘s participation in the war with their eyes wide open and with full determination to play their parts to the full. We appeal to the people of Canada for the support which is essential to can?' on and comglete a task, the groundwork for which has laid carefully, soundly, wisely . . . with foresight, determination and resolute have been arranged for. Make Your Vote Support Canadian Unity CANADA MANPOWER soon FULLY OCCUPIED Manpower for war effort is rapidly becoming a major problem in Canaâ€" da. With all divisions of its wartime program nicely under way, this country must already face the the question, how is it going to get enough men and women to do the job we have undertaken ? While Mr Case has many friends urging him to stand, and may make a fair run, from this angle it appears he is illâ€"advised to do so. Without party backing, it is improbable he can be the victor, and his stand is likely to split the Liberal vote, thereby electing the opposition canâ€" didate. It remains to be seen what proportion of the Liberalâ€"Progressive vote Mr Case can draw, but what looked a reasonably sure victory for the Liberal nominee, is now _ a dark uncertainty. As well as in Greyâ€"Bruce, three candidates are now in the field in North Grey: ‘W. P. Telford, the ofâ€" ficial Liberal candidate and recent member; _ Victor Porteous, the Conâ€" servative candidate, and W. Garfield Case, of Owen Sound, who has entered the fray as a National Liberâ€" alâ€"Progressive candidate. Mr. Case was the defeated candidate for the Liberal nomination, and is apparentâ€" ly determined to run when he anâ€" nounces his candidature without any party nomination. This he is clearly entitled to do, provided â€" he securâ€" es at least 100 names to his nominâ€" ation papers, and makes deposit of $200, which is refunded if he seâ€" cures more than half the votes of the winner.

The mailâ€"order is a forâ€" Next came improved roads and the Model T. Between the two, the farmer‘s range for business and pleasure was extended to eight or nine times the distance possible when the speediest means of conveyance had been the equine roadster that took the prizes at the county fair. But what injured the hamlet of rural Ontario was of great benefit to the county town and smaller city. ‘The change thal has come in the last generation is traceable to a number of things. It has been arâ€" gued _ that the â€" concessionâ€"corners, where used to be thriving general stores and which now are virtually deserted except for a gasoline staâ€" tion, received their first blow with the establishment. of rural mail deâ€" livery; the farmer no longer needed to zo to the post oflice, so the postâ€" office could be farther away, probâ€" ably in the nearest incorporated vilâ€" lage. the local merchant to advertise conâ€" stantly and aggressively. This is asâ€" suming, of course, that he is a skilâ€" ful merchant, offering the public a good variety of fresh merchandise at prices as low as he can reasonâ€" ably make them. Yet ‘ the fact that the mailâ€"order business is not what is used to be should give some comfort to local merchants and the York County counâ€" cil. When the mailâ€"order business was in its heyday, the cities and towns within the scope of the mailâ€" order houses had not even an order ‘office to tax. _ And the village merâ€" chant who was so often the village postmaster used to spend as much time selling money orders payable to the mailâ€"order house as he did selling goods from his own shelves. Discussing this _ situation, . the Carleton Place Canadian wisely comâ€" ments that the most effective means of combatting the competition is for The Council of York County, Ont., has passed a resolution asking for an amendment to the assessment act to permit heavier taxation of the mail order offices which one or two of the large department stores have establshed in many towns and cities .It is claimed that these small offices often do a great deal more busiâ€" ness than many local merchants who pay many times the business taxes assessable against " a two by four" place, the equipment of which conâ€" sists of a girl to answer the teleâ€" phone, a catalogue and sheaves of mailâ€"order forms. Such being the case, how are the remaining citizens going to keep up the prodigious amount of work to be reqauired on the land and in the facâ€" tory ? At Hamilton last week, C. M. Canfield, prominent Canadian busiâ€" ness executive, declared that in his opinion every ableâ€"bodied man would have work before the end of 1940 for the seeking. He predicted that in building â€" canstruction â€" alone, there would be a very heavy increase durâ€" ing the year. A day or two later, in Toronto, Horace T. Hunter, publishing house president, drew attention to the fact that during 1940 Great Britain was spending _ $500,000,000 in Canada. Mcreover, the Canadian government would be spending one million dolâ€" lars a day thrcughout the year for services and supplies, another $365,â€" ©0,000 . fied . Mr MacKenzie, speaking in matter of course Vancouver, drew attention to the for metamorphos fact that Canada‘s naval and air ted equally am force units would be the equivalent roadbuilders, the of one division, and the personnel the progressive needed for the big Empire air train~ who by work & ing scheme, exclusive of actual fliers, the stores in the would be the equivalent of two div!â€" their money. â€"I sions.

"Reception of station CFOS is very fine" states a heading in Satâ€" urday‘s Owen Sound Sunâ€"Times. In Durham we beg to disagree. Someâ€" times it is fair, and again it is "punk" being difficult to locate at all. It is more profitable to be a memâ€" ber of the Alberta Legislature than of the Dominion House of Commons. When the Fedsral House was disâ€" solved after a session of three hours, the members were only alâ€" lowed $25, but in the Western provâ€" ince each member received full sesâ€" sional indemnity of $2,000 for a sevenâ€"day session. The late Hon Hugh Guthrie‘s son is National Conservative candidate in South Wellington, opposing Mr Gladstone, recent Liberal member. Dr Manion has as yet failed to name any of the "best men of all parties," he will choose for his Naâ€" tional Gov‘t. cabinet, if elected to nower. Unless it be Premier Hepâ€" burn, we cannot vision any Liberal representation . To date, 578 candidates are in the field throughout the Dominion. 214 are Liberal, 187 National Governâ€" ment; 97 C.C.F., and 80 of all other ‘Tory leader Manion has scuttled the name "Conservative" for his parâ€" ty, and all candidates are now known as "National Gov‘t. candidate," with coventions open to all opponents of the Liberal administration. _ To the best of our knowledge however, evâ€" ery National Gov‘t candidate is a Conservative. Dr. L. G. Campbell of Markdale, Conservatve candidate in Greyâ€"Bruce in three former campaigns, is worryâ€" ing little about this election. with his wife, he is wintering in the sunâ€" ny climes of Southarn Florida. An independent candidate, Mr. Austâ€" in of Guelph, is also in the field. Rural mail delivery,t gocd roads and the Model T and its sucessors brought change, but, on balance, it hardly can be said to have brought loss to old Ontario. Buying still may be centralized, but branch stores in the larger towns and smaller cities throughcut the Dominion, enable reâ€" sidents outside the greaf cities to examine fresh stocks of goods before they actually buy.
