Since children are born imita­ tors, they readily absorb into their vocabulary errors in grammar, pe­ culiarities of construction and fam­ ily idioms. Every teacher knows these faults are most difficult to correct. We have all been sorry to see an otherwise charming conver­ sation ruined by a glaring, though trivial mistake in English whicn is nothing more than a bad speech­ habit, so ingrained from long use as to leave the user quite oblivious of the mistake. The mother who, by care and example makes her Child a master of words, has given him a priceless heritage. « ♦ .« THINK ON THESE THINGS..........

It has been hinted that this plan may be adopted in this country. It would seem that time and expense might be saved and the same result achieved if we ate whole wheat bread and took our vi- , tamins as is.

If we want any tomatoes, onions, strawberries, apples, oranges, or most foreign fruits, we have to join the end of a long queue and then you are not sure when it comes your turn that you will get anything.

They wished to complain about the state of the main road just outside the village. They found, however, that their arguments did not receive a good reception, in fact, the mem­ bers of the council objected with emphasis and much' noise. “Book here,” said the chairmen, “the road is fairly good ad a whole.” “Yes,” replied the spokesman of the party, “but we went to use it as a-road.” Very Oisdiarges From the Bowek Bowel troubles, although happen­ ing at dny time of! the year, are more prevalent during the hot sum­ mer and early fall months.

It has never occurred to her there might possibly be some flection between that statement, and a few of the things she doesn’t like about her life. Although she is a nice-looking, pleasant girl who got Waugh high school without any trouble and who is competent at her job, she is working at a job that has no fu­ ture and a mighty sad present. She is both overworked and underpaid, She has lived In the town where her present job is for' two years, and she is often lonely, She has some friends, but by no means are all of her evenings taken up with invitations, So she spends some- times two, sometimes four or five evenings a week alone, putering around her room, switching the radio on and off and wishing mis­ erably that she had SOME place to go, ' One of these days, if She gets a chance, she’ll .likely marry some boy with a job not a great deal better than hers and a future not much - brighter—not. loves him, but because she is bored to death.

NEW MEASURES TO GET LARGER SUPPLIES OF BACON FOR BRITAIN On July 23, the Government of Canada considered it necessary to introduce certain measures that will, aS much as possible, assist in maxi-> mum quantities of Canadian bacon being shipped to Britain within the next two months. Recently the Bacon Board receiv­ ed information that it Was of the utmost importance that regular weekly shipments as .provided for in ithe present agreement be main­ tained, otherwise the British Min­ istry of Food would find difficulty in maintaining a ration of four ounces per .week per person to the people, of the British Isles. The measures introduced are: « An advance of $1 per 100 pounds or $18.60 to $19.60 f.a.s. Canadian, seaboard, in ithe pfice of Canadian!; Wiltshire bacon for export to the United Kingdom.' This is in order to bring -the value of bacon in Can­ ada closer to parity with the pre­ sent price of hogs' in States. The price of effective as from the. the live stock markets day, July 23. An Order in Council also effective Wednesday, July 23, prohibits the export of live hog’s, dressed hogs, and Other edible pork products, except­ ing lard, to points other than the United Kingdom and British pos­ sessions. The Bacon Board also ordered a further reduction of 25 per cent in the amount Of ft>brk products, ‘in­ cluding ham. and bacon, that may be distributed by exporting packers for Canadian consumption. Under date of May 2®, 1941, the Governor in Council approved an amendment to the agreement with respect to bacbn between the Unit­ ed Kingdom Ministry of Food and the -United $19.60 was Opening of on Wednes- i Canada 'under which H was agreed that the United Kingdom would In­ crease' the price paid for bacon by 5 shillings per long hundredweight for half' of the contract quantity of 425,000,00.0 pounds with the proviso that if the price of United States hogs moved furthei’ above "a parity of this price, the difference would be borne, by Canada. . x In . accordance ■ with this -agree­ ment, the Bacon Board op, June 2, 1941, was authorized to pay an ad­ ditional 75 cents per 100 pounds to the price, of 85 shillings being paid by r the United Kingdom and on dune 24 a further increase of 75 Scents or a total of ,$1.5,0 per 100 1 pounds was made, « Hog prices ill the United States, have continued to advance sharply, inducing a flow'of live hogs and dressed products to the United Stat-, es, thereby jeopardizing the quanti­ ties required for export to the Unit-' Cd Kingdoms ' * ” " ' '. The, United ^ingddm ^Ministry of; Food have also, requested that ship/ merits of bacdn under .the present agreement be accelerated so that; if /possible, the present contract of '425,00.0,000 pounds o.f bacon, hams and other cuts may be completed by about September 15, 1941, instead of October 31, 1941. ■ The increased rate of shipment necessary ^6 com-; ply with this request will require that every hog marketed in Canada, during the next two months be, available for export to the United Kingdom of fof dtefribution in the domestic market. \ Oh the completion of .the present agreement of 425,000,000 pounds of bacon, hams and other cuts on September 15, 1941, it is anticipated that the agreement for the following 12 months will call for the delivery by Canada of 600,000',000 pounds'of bacori, ham and other cuts. ‘ The larger order will necessitate a spbr stahtial increase in the Canadian production of. hogs. * lOc WHY PAY MORE Best'of all fly killers*, Clean, .quick, ’sure, cheap.
