KIRKTON FAIR DATES ARE SET In their annual report Kirkton Fair directors say that gate re­ ceipts.; were down from previous, years,” but the $416.44 clear pro­ fit realized on the 1940 fair is a credit to the management in view of the many lower financial statements in similar reports from other dis­ trict fair boards.

Down Hast thou entered in to the treasur­ es of the snow? Test question by a noted sage, ages long ago. Speak wise Spirit of the Muse, and tell us what you know. Deep secrets of the snowflakes have . opened very slow. * Such treasures are ethereal, and hid in mystery deep, They open to the wide awake, but not to those who sleep. Deep bedded in the snowflakes are treasures rich and rare, And anyone with vision .clear is sure to find them1 there. > Awake, dull soul, and take a look, now tell me what you see. As thus I look, in very deed, strange things appear to me. The treasures that the snowflakes hold, may speak of Deity. Their structure is atomic, forged (by energy untold. Takes more power to make a flake than to blast out tons of gold. If a stated fact like this fills your mind with doubt, Just take a dip in science, to work your problem out. What can stop the snowflakes when billions start to. fly? Bib battalions on the march, all oth- e? powers defy. They stop fast buses on the road and moguls on the track. Tiny snowflakes have the power to hold great armies back. High piled atop the mountains, they tear the rocks away, And when they start an avalanche, naught their power .can stay. They foul swift clippers in the air and swamp big ships at sea. It is here we see the mighty force of atoms and strength in unity. Foi* when we split the atoms up, all things will atoms be. There are beauties in new snow­ drifts piled high outside your door The microscope will show us things we never saw before. Snowflakes catch the sunbeams and paint a picture rare, They shape mosaics on the clouds, all are beyond compare. There are glens of dazzling bright­ ness, with- swards of eiderdown. Spraying fountains, that outshine all gems of great renown, Featheiy ferns and frescoes fair, shine in beauty everywhere. White temples grand, like diamonds rare,, hide in forests bright and ifair, On.?e more we look and then we see rich trea&Ures of utility. ' When snowflakes fall in measure i free the earth, regains fertility. ’Neath blankets spread so gracious­ ly all nature finds security. So here we find the guarantee of fruitful harvests yet to be. One mare rare treasure of the snow is matchless purity. Its native place is In the sky from all corruption free. When human lives are white, like snow, we reach otir destiny. How blessed are the in heart, for they our God shall see, Hast thou entered In to the treasur* ; es of the snow?

Look at Your Labe) ...it is going to demand more effort, more sacrifice and far more change in oar daily lives ALREADY the pattern and pace of life in Canada • have undergone a profound change. Gaps in employment are rapidly filling up. Some 350,000 Canadians who were unemployed before the outbreak of war are now employed. Another 200,000 are with - our armed forces. Factories, which until recently were turning out goods for civilian consumption, have been transformed into humming arsenals, pouring out in­ struments of war. Night and day shifts have become the rule rather than the exception. But the peak of effort is not yet in sight. Tn 1941 still more factories will switch to war produc­ tion . . » new plants will be established, thousands more < will be employed. This rising tide of activity must continue until we reach the flood of effort when every Canadian will be employed and working to his utmost, every possible square inch of plant will be utilized, every wheel will be whirring in the race we are waging against time and the enemy. More men are working . ■. . working longer hours . . . making more munitions . . * earning more money . . . producing more goods . . . putting more money into circulation. Most Canadians are sharing in this in­ creased national wealth — have extra dollars in their pockets. The effort the Prime Minister calls for is gaining momentum, but many Canadians,.as individuals, hive not yet felt the real pinch of sacrifice. Canadians of all classes are sharing tax burdens^ but it must be admitted that up to date the larger part of the money needed -for Canada’s war effort has from business firms and individuals with incomes. They are paying high taxes. They already invested heavily in War Loan Bonds. 15 YEARS AGO Mr. Ted Sims, who has spent sev­ eral weeks at the heme of his par­ ents, Mr. and Mrs. donah Sims, left this week to return to Van­ couver, B.C, , Mr, Jack Elliott is suffering with blood poisoning in his left hand, the result of having struck his thumb with a hammer, Messrs, Frank Delbridge and E, Q.

Ayotte of -Detroit called on Mr. and Mrs. P. Dietrich 99 RT. HON, W. L MACKENZIE KING (NEW YEAR'S EVE, 1940) ' This is. not enough,. The plain truth is that Canada’s rapidly expanding production for war purposes will require increasing sums of money. That is why the Prime Minister warned Canadians in his. New Year’s broadcast that the year ahead demands more effort and more sacrifice. ' <s Every man, woman and child is asked to lend. Every, dollar you lend will help to put another man in a job ... making more munitions. Every dollar you lend may save a soldier’s life . . . help to shorten the war. Small wage earners must carry their share of the burden, too. ‘ No one need go without necessities, but you are urged to forego the purchase of unnecessary articles . . . however small the cost ... no matter how well you are able to pay for them . . . which take labour and material away from the great task of providing goods needed to win the war. This is your war. Everything you have . . . everything you believe in ... is now at stake. This is a message to you ... a challenge to every Canadian ... a call to the colours < . . a call for volunteers. Be sure to make provision to pay your Income Tax— .payment is made easier by the new instalment plan. But be prepared to do more — budget your earnings to make sure that you will have money available to buy War Savings Certificates and to subscribe for War Loan Bonds. You will help Canada — you will help yourself. 4 Your NO*t Visit to TORONTO Try Hotel Waverley Located on Wide Spadlna Ave, at College St Easy Parking Facilities ’Convenient to Highway# ® Single -s - 51.5# to SiW Double : • $2.50 to $5.88 Four Io Hooni, $5.00 to $8.80 «■' Close to the University, Parliament Buildings, Maple Leaf'Gardens, Theatres, Hospitals, Wholesale House?, and the Fashionable Retail Shopping District.
