A, M, FOWELX, PRESIDENT EXPECT 180,000 AT HURON COUNTY PLOWING MATCH It was definitely decided at the annual meeting of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association held in 'the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, to have the 1942 International plow-’ ing match in Huron county. In anticipation of this great event, Which will probably bring around 180,000 people to the district dur­ ing the four-day match, plans must be drafted this year 'to have a large number of Huron county farmers competing for the awards. The first day of the match, Tuesday, is set aside as local day. This provides an opportunity for the county plow­ men to gain experience and confi­ dence so that they may enter the open classes against all comers. The chairman of the local day com­ mittee, Percy Passmore, of Usborne. is making a strong appeal for local farmer cooperation in making local day a great success, and will wel­ come any suggestions as to how the local angle can be enlarged. He also urges that plowing demonstra­ tions and coaching classes be ar­ ranged in each township this com­ ing summer in July, August or Sep­ tember, whereby, the young men and older farmers may receive in­ structions in the setting of plows and also, coaching advice as to the. start and finish fox* match competi­ tion.. A competent coach will be provided and all farmers whether young or ‘ old interested in either single plows or tractor work, would be welcome at the demonstration. It is suggested that each town­ ship have at least ten plowmen en- , ter in either the single plow or trac? tor class. The sixteen rural muni­ cipalities thus represented would re­ sult in at least 160 county plow­ men competing. Mr. Passmore has sent out letters to the reeves and deputies, urging that the matter be taken up and discussed at the next regular meeting of the township councils. He also asks that if any­ one has questions to ask on any phase of the local day competition or any point that is not clearly un­ derstood, that they get in touch with him. A. G.

Gardiner of­ ficiated Health, are three lamb as a Economics partment out in an address to the recent an­ nual meeting in Toronto, of the Ontario Sheep Breeders’ Associa­ tion. Dr. Hopper has recently complet­ ed. a study of the consumption of the various kinds of meat in three representative Canadian . cities: Saint John, N.B., for the Maritimes, Montreal for Central Canada, and Vancouver for the West. The com­ pilation of the results of this study discloses that the annual average consumption of lamb per person in cities varied considerably, arid that more information on the food value of stewing pieces of lamb and the best method of cooking them was required. The interesting fact was disclosed that high income families bought more stewing lamb than low income families. This is contrary to what might be expected because stewing lamb Is relatively low in price but apparently low in­ come families are not aware of this fact.

Following is a list of articles sent to the Exeter Red Cross Branch from this unit this month: 29 pairs socks, 1 sleeveless sweat­ er, 1 turtle-neck sweater, 2 scarves, 6 prs. knee caps, 1 helmet, 5 prs. .2- way mitts, 24 wash cloths, 3 wind­ breakers, 6 shirts, 5 quilts, 1 swea­ ter, size 14, 2 boys’ helmets, 4 ba­ by’s shirts.

A Help To Those Past Middle Age Whan men and women get past middle age their energy an J activity, in many instances, begin td decline, and their general vitality is bn the wane. Littlg sicknesses find ailments seem harder to shake off than formerly, and, her® and there, evidences of a breakdown begin to appear* Now is the time when these who wish to maintain their health find rigor, and retain their energy un- impaired should take a course of Milburn’a Health and Nerve Pills.

'th* ft Milbtura Co., WcrrontOj, Out. | ed that they could pay higher prices I for lamb carcasses to the producers ' if the consumers knew the food value of lamb fronts and stewins pieces. In Montreal, where beef, veal and bacon are used in large quantities 30 per cent of the housewives ad­ mitted that the reason they did not buy more lamb was because they knew little or nothing about lamn cuts and how to cook them. In Saint John more than 10 per cent of the housewives gave the same reason. As most people dislike ad­ mitting their ignorance on any sub­ ject, said Dr. Hopper, particularly if it is a subject on which they should be informed, it is likely that these figures are conservative. Therefore, educating consumer^ about lamb cuts and how to cook lamb so that it will be an attractive aud appetizing meat should result in an increased demand for this kind of meat. Among the 492 representative families in Saint John, 17 pounds of lamb per person per year were used; Montreal households, 8 pounds per person and Vancouver households, 14 pounds per person, a close relationship hold income and lamb. In all three ilies on relief, and incomes (household income divided by number in family) of less than $300 a year used about 10 pounds or less per person Ser year', while , families with per capita incomes of $900 or more used about 30 pounds per year. With increased employ­ ment and higher wages, th® de­ mand for lamb In 1941 is likely to increase, according to Dr* Hooper, If sheep producers wish to increase the consumption of lamb in Canada, the survey showed, they will have to educate the medium and low in­ come families to buy more of this kind of meat and to stress the food value of the cheaper stewing pieces.

McGuffin* 'I 12th Battery, R.C. A.* on a charge of murder.j Eyewitnesses in the room of the Harvey Hotel, 750 Ham­ ilton Road, told police the soldier pumped five bullets into Charles Kennedy, 49-year-old widower and unemployed chauffeur, and George Stonehouse, 29, a single man; who roomed with Kennedy at 442 laid© Street. Both men died within a few utes. The shooting occurred startling suddenness, as the three men, McGuffin in the lead, were walking toward the door of the beverage room* The soldjer was seen to turn on his heel, whip out the gun, a ,32-calibre revolver, and fire at point blank range. One bul­ let struck Kennedy above the heart and another penetrated the stom­ ach, * Horrified onlookers said Stone­ house made a lunge for the gun and was shot through the head. hlcGuffin, who had struck up a casual conversation with the men while drinking beer, backed out to the street and the patrons in the hotel followed, but kept a safe distance. > On busy Hamilton Street the soldier, the gun now pocketed, walked two blocks east to a grocery store at Oak and Trafalgar Streets. Meanwhile a telephone call had gone to police headquarters and I Detectives Morley Leach and John I Parker hurried to the scene. They rushed into the store and when Mc­ Guffin saw them, he is alleged to have pulled the revolver from his pocket. Detective Parker jumped on Mc­ Guffin and tqok the weapon from his grasp. He was then taken to head­ quarters. Police investigation failed to dis­ close a motive for the shooting. McGuffin, whose home is on Mar­ shall street in London, was granted a week’s leave of absence from Pet- awawa to come to London «,,and straighten out spme trouble involv­ ing a youpg woman with whom he had been keeping company. It is known he visited his lawyer and was depressed and moody when ,he left home early in the morning. Gunner McGuffin had come back to London in answer to a court or­ der, found on his person when searched. He was due off pass on February 17, and was apparently overdue four -days. - Eyewitnesses at the hotel said the three men were in quiet conversa­ tion, and as McGuffin was leaving Kennedy was overheard to remark: “Now don’t be nervous,” as though chiding McGuffin. ’ It has been established that Me-. Guffin and his two.victims had not been previously acquainted. Several . eye-witnesses told the authorities that something was said by the two men as McGuffin rose to leave the beverage room. He returned, ap­ parently to get hit hat, and all three started to depart, the soldier ahead of them. Then came the rapid bark of the gun. According to police, McGuffin was not intoxicated when captured. He had consumed several beers in the hotel. Crown-Attorney Norman F.

We have not yet been asked to sacrifice a thing; w® get a full measure of sleep each night, our roofs are still over our heads, food, drink, clothes, motor cars or gasoline have not yet been rationed. Still we doubt if /over 70 per cent of th® men realize that we are at war. The women?—Yes, 95 per cent, of them are working day and night on various war work. What is going to he necessary to awaken the people to an appreciation of the reality? Have we got to be bomb­ ed, our homes burned, our hospi­ tals, churches and schools destroy­ ed, our children murdered, in order to arouse us to a sense of to our country? The February appeal War Savings Certificates with a ready response from a jority of the people, poor, rich well-to-do alike; but there is a minority, particularly among the well-to-do, who INVEST as'if they were being asked to GIVE. Many of the poorer people are actually sacrificing to buy certificates but the well-to-do have sacrificed noth­ ing, because they have something to spare for investing in Certificates, but a small number are not even willing to help on the work even to a moderate extent. Surely there is something wrong with us when we ; adopt that attitude in a time of the country’s need. The best investor is the one who goes to the Bank’ nr Post Office and signs a Pledge form for aS large d monthly sum a? he /can. But if you do wait for the , canvasser, meet him cheerfully, and subscribe liberally. Cheer him up as he proceeds on the job. It is not easy to cancass, but he is willing to do his best, so encourage him, all you can. The canvass goes on.
