WELL DONE, 1:IICKNOW!'
The success Of. the Fourth . • Victc» y Loan
is a matter of gratification and pride across:•
the Dominion,;, ,:and' citizens of • Lucknow can.
survey their accomplishment with much sat-
isfaction and With the \ realization that " once
again this Village has:_been more than equal
to another wartime task, of which the de-'
inani& Were high:. .: • • -
° Lucknow's record, in the last' three victory
• *' loans Dias been as follows:
Objective • Total
March,'. 1942 • $40,000 $60,700
, "November, 1942 $50,000-•.$89,850
May, 1943 $85,000 $104,800 4,.. .
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. It
• was a case of • "Well Done Lucknow", and to
G. H. Smith, ,who is Lucknow's lone salesman
and. the local committee,' all in one, a special
word of praise is in order. Lucknow "lets.
George do it", because he can.
, A word of credit is also due neighboring
Township, salesmen, who put forth special of
,forts to n eet., the.. high'•.iuotas set ' While jhe
k. ., objectives were not • quite reached, yet their
efforts were rewarded by a considerable in-'
crease in' the number, and total' value, of sub
•seription sales: • •
• The, success of the. Fourth. Victory Loan is
an unparalleled achievement in the history . of
North American finance. Over forty per cent.
of the loan wag subscribed by roughly a quar-
ter of the entire population of the ,Dominion. •
• . It was Canada's response to the "Back The
Attack" appeal, and evidence that Mr. and'Mrs..
Canada -fully realize that to prevent,;the perils
of 'inflation, public bor°rowing and taxation are
the only means of providing the' dollars so
dirly:needed to prosecute the war.

HOW TO MEET THE DOG.
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. • •

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.
