isci vote° next .Monday,:.,
It is . necessary .that a yes vote

reads., '"A' `yes' ,vote is a vote for

Warden Armstrong also addressed
a letter to reeves and deputy reeves
of all.` municipalities requesting thein
todo all in• their powerto. see that

Locally there has been no Horgan-

ments in support of the plebiscite;
but failing this it,. °hooves every
voter to g6 to , the polls on .Monday,
The danger is not that many will
vote "no", but 'rather id ' the, fact
that: a certain apathy and, careless-
ness is' apparent that niay result in
many people not exercising their.

her very .existence is imperiled.
rrovingTtihthe .-United -Kingdon:.
states Hon; P. M.. Dewan, Ontario.
Minister of Agriculture, in voicing
a plea to all urban centres for an
official organization of man power.
during• the rush of hay, grain and
corn harvests to aid hard-pressed
•and over-worked farmers:.
County farm' surveys, ,:said the
Minister,` 'show that farmers feel
they must crop every possible acre
to keep Canada and Britain provided
with wholesome war foods. During
the next few weeks farmers will be
working •long • hours . at high pres-
sure to get `seed into the ground:
Harvesting this crop is a national
problem which it is probable can
be met only. by adequate help from'
cities and towns.
Mr. Dewan ' pointed out that a
number of urban centres had . al-
ready formed organizations to aid
farmerswith their crops. He re-
quests that Boalyds of Trade, Service
Clubs, town and•city councils could
take thelead and co-operate to form,
similar organizations in all centres.
Volunteers can then ,register with.
their local' organization; for harvest
work on farms , of friends or rela-
tives,. or •go out in carloads, of` four
or five to nearby. farms. Local •or-
ganizations already formed are co-
operating• with the Farilti Service
Force, Agricultural' Representatives
and Employment, Agencies, Mr. De -
wan declared.
No one could predict harvest wea-
ther. •Heavy rains would add much
.difficulty,. Properly .harvested (crops
mean just as much to urban dwell-
ers . as to farmers; for unharvested
crops would mean a food shortage.
The best form of efficiency, •said.
Mr. Dewan, is the:.' spontaneous co-
operation of a free people.
The Agricultural War Production
committee of Bruce County intends
to organize the towns and villages
of the •countythrough their, local.
Committees, to registerlvoltinteers
for harvest work on farms of rela-
tives or friends, or go out in' car-
loads of 4 or '5 to nearby farms in
the evenings and half holidays, or,
in short, to' meet, any , problefn that
Might . arise in harvesting the 19'42
crop. .

It is surprising, • }love" well-to-do
some of the people are, especially in.
these small towns, which number
.three on the entire island. Two of
these towns are owned ' by large

arefairly large, well built arid rood- • .

which surprised .me.
'We have a total blackout and it
is ' the, most difficult:. thing to' be
