J. DELBRIDGE, Representative, EXETER There is no next year for the aviator shot down^in the Channel without a life raft; not even a tomorrow for the man who slips from the unpro­ tected catwalk of a bomber and plunges through the clouds, These are only two of the things our inert­ ness might bring about. So important has rubber become in ohr industries that our life, both jn our homes and out of doors, is be­ ing affected by the lack of materials. So general has become its’ use that there is scarcely a plant or home in Canada where rubber in some term or other does not appear, The de­ mand for rubber by our war indust­ ries is so great that the general use of rubber in past years has created a fortunate situation; that is to say i( will be a fortunate situation if we all do our part. By our using rub­ ber in so many ways we have stored up in our kitchens, laundries, garag­ es and gardens, in our shops, offices and factories, a huge reserve of rub­ ber, This is not raw material' but is scrap material which can be re­ claimed and made to made to serve again, Reclaimed rubber new crude ' rubber varying according to the type of. pro­ duct being manufactured.

MARYS Reminiscences of- early days in St. Marys formed the subject of the brief addresses. given by members of the St. Marys. Women’s Institutes at the annual picnic held recently in Cadzow Park. St. Marys is this year entering upon- her second cen­ tury. An anniversary celebration of the past centenary is being ar­ ranged for September 13. Miss N. Fairburn, first charter member of the club, recalled amus­ ing incidents. “When I was a kid,” she began, “a Mrs.-G. ordered from my parents a pair of ducks. My sister and I carried them over to her, and while she paid the correct amount, 25 cents apiece, she grumbl­ ed because One was smaller than the other I “Up until just a few years ago an old sewing machine was .still in constant use in St. Marys.’ It was the first -‘improved sewing machine’ ever to come to the town. Its frame was entirely of iron, and it was delivered here to Mr. Timothy Eaton and used in his Queen street.” At that had not embarked on his “I have an old recipe ing coffee, which yo-u might-be glad to use now that we are .rationed,” she continued. “You mix a half cup of wheat with a teaspoonful of mol­ asses—we used maple molasses. Spread on a cookie sheet, and place in the oven. When well roasted} remove and leave to cool before grinding. And, if you want a new brew of tea, try cherry bark, sage and thyme; or, ‘pour boiling water over’a crust of bread burnt black. Pour off the liquid and—drink.” “Brooms,” she went on, “were of four kinds, and the pioneers learnt the craft of broom-making from the Indians who had used brooms for centuries before the ‘Mayflower’ ever crossed the At­ lantic. The best were made from the yellow birch, Some were manu­ factured from river weeds and grasses.” - ,■ Miss L.

McDonald of Brampton last week on charges under the War Measures Act, Both farmers had been found guilty of using creamery-owned cans to ship cream to other • than the owners of the cans, of with­ holding creamery cans from’ the owners, and of placing a. foreign substance in the cream cans. The evidence showed’ that "Mr. Norman MacLeod, a farmer living pear Snelgro've, had seven cans be­ longing to* six creameries, in ad­ dition to those- required for his re­ gular shipments of cream, as fol­ lows: Grand Valley, acton (2), Erin, Palmerston, 'Orangeville and Tot­ tenham creameries. He had at no time ever shipped cream to any of these. Mr. Arthur Ford, of R.R. 3, Cale­ don, had cans belonging to Tees- water, Orangeville, Streetsville and Mount Forest creameries, and at no time had ever sold cream to any of these. Water was found in two cans on this farm. These were two test cases of an Order issued last March under the War Measures Act, to safeguard the ■supplies of jtin and steel. In pre­ vious years ''many cans were -put to improper uses on the farms, and creameries were required to buy thousands of cans each year to re­ place them. Now no new cans are available, so it was necessary to compel all holders of creamery Cans to return them to the owners.

Forms TD-1 frond your Offices, or local Income Tax ■offices, • Table of Tax may be secured employer, Post In the fourth year of war, Canada will need almost four billion dollars. This is the equivalent of nearly $350 from every man, woman and child in the country. Even with the highest income tax in history, 52% only of the money Canada needs will be raised by taxation. The rest will have to be borrowed by means of War Savings Stamps, Certificates and Victory Bonds. Starting with the first pay period in September representing Sep­ tember earnings only, your employer is required by law to deduct your income tax from your wages or salary, and send it promptly to the Government. Everybody will pay his share as he goes along. It’s going to be tough . . . but not too tough! Here are some good features: 1. You Will pay as you earn, so that you will not be faced With a large lump sum payment next year. 2. The National Defence Tax already de­ ducted during the first 8 months of this year has been taken into account in the Table of Tax Deductions, 3. Though the income tax rates show a sharp increase over last year, a large portion -of this increase is actually savings, to be paid back to you with interest after the war. 4. The money you are paying for life insur­ ance premiums, annuities, principal repay­ ments on your home, Or into a pension fund may be deducted (up to a certain maximum) from the savings portion of your income tax. In many cases this may be sufficient to make payment of the savings portion of the tax unnecessary.
