HOW TO BUY TIRES
linger
Wartime
Regulations
FARMERS
Tires on farm tractors,
combines, and trucks are
eligible for replacement
provided they cannot be
repaired or retreaded.
Furthermore, any farmer
not owning a truck may
replace the tires on his
passenger car and trailer.
For further information
see the nearest Firestone
Dealer.
jpIRST go to your nearest
Firestone Dealer who
nas the official information
and can advise you if you
are eligible and in which
class you are included. He
has the application forms
and will help you fill them
in, will furnish the Inspec
tion Report and do every
thing he can to help you
obtain a Tire Ration Per
mit necessary to buy a new
tire . . . See him today.
Current events have made geog
raphy the most universal study of
our times. Undoubtedly he who
follows the daily news increases his
knowledge of the divisions of the
earth’s surface. With great rapidity
our attention shifts from country to
country and zone to zone. Today’s
news interest may be focussed on
some humid tropical island in the
south seas but tomorrow the locale
of our concern may be a cold, fog-
drenched coast within the Arctic
circle. Through imagination we are
all world travellers and we incorp
orate into our daily speech place
names from a hundred tongues.
A visit to the Royal Ontario
Museum can aid materially in mak
ing far-flung countries and peoples I
less distant and more real. One will
find examples of the handicraft of
men of all creeds and colours which
reveal their culture, their problems
and aspirations. He will see the
animals from foreign tundra, desert
and forest, and exotic minerals and
stones from the earth’s crust half
way around the globe. The Museum
stimulates world-mindedness and
does much to counteract isolationism.
THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY Sth, 1943
Urges Farmers
Save Seed

are
for
Forage Crops'
If the substantial requests
Canada for alfalfa, red clover
alsike seed from the 1943 crops
to be met, it will be necessary
farmers to save and harvest as much
seed of these crops this year as pos
sible, states Nelson Young, Seeds
Administrator. Any seed harvested
which will be surplus to the farmer’s
own requirements should be sold
through the usual commercial chan
nels and the prices should assure a
fair return. At present such seeds
are retailing at the retail ceiling
prices, said Mr. Young.
In helping to overcome the short
age of protein feeds this year alfalfa,
red clover and alsike which are high
in protein especially if cut early,
should be more than ever relied
upon. While those engaged in dairy
ing will need to conserve as much of
the forage crops as possible, the
Seeds Administrator believes that
they may find they may be able to
meet their feed requirements end
still save a part of the crop for seed.
If they can do this, they will help
out the seed requirements of those
countries of the Allied Nations which
expect to be in short supply.
Presentations
At the regular meeting of the
Zion United Church Young Peoples’
Society a presentation of an Eng
lish Morocco leather billfold was
made to Rev. W. E. Aidworth prior
lo his departure for his new charge
at St. Marys and the following
address was read:
Dear Mr. Aidworth.

No Happiness in the Home
When Mother Is Sick
The tired, worn out mother cannot make a hanp
home if she is sick and worried by the never enaih
household duties.
She gets run down and becomes nervous and
irritable, downhearted and discouraged, can’t rest at
night, aud gets up in the morning feeling as tired as when she went to bed.

Pills a remedy with which to help recuperate their health, build up the run
down system, and assist them back to health—happiness again.

night so thought I would sit right
down and thank you

feel better when he knows the people
at home are doing .all they can to
make us happy over here. To be
honest, there are days when one
gets fed up but I guess that is only
natural and I guess if we were in
Canada we would not be satisfied.
There is one thing that we have
been lucky in and that is the win
ter as it has been very nice here
and I have not seen any snow in
England but did on my leave in
Edinburgh. When we read about
all the snow you had ip Canada it
kind of makes you feel glad that
you are here. However, I hope that
we soon get into action and get it
over with so we can return home.
I have not seen many of the boys
from Exeter except the ones in the
Hussars and have seen nearly all
of them. But the ones in other regi
ments I have not run across so far.

seven weeks when we did not get
any mail oi' parcels and I sure got
fed up hut I guess they must have
been short of shipping space. I
guess we should not grumble as
long as we get lots to eat, which we
do and J think we eat better than
the civilians. This camp I am in
now has more men than any time
since I have been here and a lot
have come over from Canada since
Christmas, so maybe they are going
to get into action as the regiments
must he up to strength and hold
ing units filled with reinforcements.
When the time comes and it should
be soon, they will have lots of men
to fill in where there are casualties.
