This 'year's objective was a real 'challenge' to the people •• •of• Lucknow, and there were •many who were skeptical of the final result: But 'Lucknowites rallied' to the call and Sur- passed the objective by • practically $20;000.

The .dog is regarded as -man`s bes:'and-most dependable friend. Few dogs go out- of- their. way to cause trouble but the prime instinct of any dog is to protect its , mater or his mas- ter's property: In 'doing just this a dog may be often unjustly accused of being cross and dangerous.. A leaflet, prepared by a ngted 'dog fan- . Cr,e, has been : released by • the Industrial Acer dent Prevention Association, telling how to. approach and handle . dogs. ' - -Here are the . rules: Always:let °a , dog know ;. you ° are. > approaching by not being.' too quiet; Growls and barks are a challenge, accept them as sueh and show no alarm; Sudden . Or un•- xpected:rrioves are likely .te • be misunderstood • , ' by. a dog-; Speak to strange dogs, iii a' confident, friendly .voice, not:: sharply, or .scoldingly; Al- wa"ys 'allow a dog to approach and let.. his nose aid . him in forming his, impressions; . A :dog .-should not be touched ,unless you have met him often` enough to establish a friendship; A dog : should be given -the impression. that your visit is perfectly proper: ' . * FAVORS 'FLAT HYDRO , RATE Colonel George A.• Drew ,advocates the abolition of• what he calls "preferential" Hydro rates . throughout the province of Ontario. Com- munities with high rates for the electric energy they consume will„ favor the project; the cities and communities • favorably situated close to 'development plants will be, opposed. The argu- ments for ; and: against a flat rate for Hydro ` power are now pretty well known to everyone: If Colonel Drew Is ever -able to .effect .'at least some sane readjustment. ,in the rates charged by the Ontario Hydro -Electric Commission, he will render this let province one of the' ' great- ,".., ...• • `est "services . perormed by any public man of - his --.day. The so-called-.--bi ' ' • - g-interests--w,i11-�e•�-� -against him, for they are located in'big centres where Hydro is cheap.—Arthur Enterprise. ' In the .post-war• era, aviation will un- doubtedly make treinendous strides, and the more -rapidly,-i-f =slams -are-laid-now- for- :the peace time maintenance of what has become a gigantic war •.industry. • ,In Tor ntb this week, the first cornbined' effort is being• made by over : one hundred Ontario. communities to plan their place on. the post=war aviation map. This meeting is..sponn- sored by the Aeronautical Institute of Canada. Many communities have already. done' con- siderable work on the matter of airport Bevel- oprnent, " recognizing' the • fact that the future , welfare of • Many' municipalities will... depend on whether or not they are on the airport map.' Municipalities that plan for a • development :of feeder• services to the main airlines, will bring the ,advantages, of aviation to .their: commun ity. • One might best try to visualize the future ,• of 'aviation, by considering the fact that at the close of this war there will lie about two • hundred thousand Canadians trained to fly and service .aircraft,. and in. ,addition about half that. number engaged in the manufacture of aircraft. • • * * * * J A Teesvv'ater resident who 3'ecently ad= vertised requesting the return of his hoe and cultivator, is .doubly *optimistic. He , has faith that the ad will bring back the:tools, and that its going• to quit raining, tong enough for him to use there. • * :* * In an editorial captioned "Debunking. The Beer Shortage", • the Port Elgin Times says: "What .does ' the ..government's 10 per cent re- duction, really' amount to? The • consumption • of beer Canada for the. years 1938 to 1942 is as follows: 1938-67,266,073 gallons; 1939- 61I,302,752 gallons; 1940-66,289,690 gallons; 194178,629,690 gallons; '1942-97,900;000 gal - kris; 1943 --cut to $8,100,000 gallons; The. "ditas- tic" cut just leaves about 21,000,000 more gal- 1,- lots for 1943 than were consumed, in 1939- . the year the war commenced. With less people • where is the shortage?" The urgency and importance • of salvage materials varies from time to time, but a recent' bulletin by the • Department of National. War Services, ` places fats and, . bones as heading• • "the hit parade" at the moment. Canada needs • '35,000,000 pounds of rendered fats, or an amount equal to about one• ounce,_per person per • week. Old tires and. tubes stand second on the priority salvage :list. Scrap metalof all :kinds. comes next and fourthly the 'emphasis is on rags of all.kinds, particularly cotton rags for ••wipers. * * * In commenting on'the development of peace. -.time aviation, Mr. C. `R. Patterson, president ' of the Aeronautical Institute says: • The great air liners. of T.C.A. or of-Canadian-Paeiific lines will ,not popularize flying n� more than • Caddilac and Buick awtomobiles popularized • -- Motoring:--It-wets tile. Forces and -Chevrolets that made motoring possible to the average 'man,. so in flying. it will be the light. planes. Towns justas theyrovided roads will have t o pro- vide landing fields 'for these light crafts, The town that in the past neglected its roads soon 'ceased to exist as a thriving town . and `so, with= in a--few-years, Mr. Patterson said-;- towns -that _ neglect the provision for ,landing fields will cease • to thrive and advance: * * * . .. • • • The estimated cash income -from the sale of farm products. in Canada in 1942 has been set at $1,083 million, which is the highest on record. The estimate does not include all Gov- ernment payments to farmers. It is quite evi dent' by his ability to buy, and pay for what he buys, that rthe farmer . is at last ' getting a better share .of the 'greenbacks in circulation. * *• * 'The British Columbia, Court of Appeal has ruled that bagpipe playing doesn't constitute "a loud and objectionable noise",, The decision will warm the cockles of any Scotsman's• heart, but it will not remove the . insult, from • the in- ference that anyone would question that the tune of the pibrochwas anything 'but sweet' 'music. * • Little mercy need be expected by the Jap- anese when the Allies finally get then on the run. These little yellow rats again proved tilat they are no • better than savages, and should be treated. as such, by the recent torpedoing of the Australian Red Cross ship with ..a -loss of 269 lives. • *' •* Out of the, thousands . of ships convoyed by the Royal Navy, less than one out of 200 has been lost.
