ELLIOT GRAHAM ARTHUR EXETER SXJ* NEWS, GEOGRAPHY' AND THE MUSEUM 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 in and 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. These few minutes have been taken 'tonight to honor you, a good Christian gentlemen, who has been among us f<»r the past four years, and is now about to depart from our midst to a not too far distant place. During the four years of your sojourn with us you have been a worthy leader of the Young- People here.

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. Women suffering in this way may find in Milburn’s Health and Nerve Pills a remedy with which to help recuperate their health, build up the run down system, and assist them back to health—happiness again.

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. I see Andy.

There was about 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.
