We are sending food. We must send more. The need is now—-until harvest! must help feed a hungry world A serious shortage of food in certain areas of the world was expected, but crop failures in many areas, and lack. of distribution facilities, seeds, and tools in others crea­ ted a food shortage of alarming proportions. Only im­ mediate deliveries of staple foods can sustain the hungry millions. PRODUCE AND SAVE - MORE Since 1939, our per capita record of food exports has exceeded that of any other country. Food production has soared. Canadians have eaten well in spite of war. Today, the seriousness of the world’s food situation calls for even greater efforts. We can increase our food ship­ ments and still have enough for our needs. THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO We can ship more WHEAT, FLOUR, MEATS, CHEESE and EGGS if as great quantities as possible are made available for shipment during the next four months. PRODUCERS! — DELIVER TO MARKET. CONSUMERS I — BUY LESS OF THESE FOODS — BUY ONLY FOR IMMEDIATE NEEDS—WASTE NOTHING —PLANT. A GARDEN­ SUBSTITUTE VEGETABLES FOR AS MANY OF THESE VITAL FOODS AS YOU CAN. This will increase supplies a.t storage depots, thus freeing additional needed foods for the world’s hungry. There can be no permanent prosperity for us ... or anyone . . . •while hunger and despair afflict large areas of the world.

Morley, K.C., newly ap­ pointed „ magistrate for Huron County presided for ike first time nt the weekly police court held Thursday afternoon of last week in Goderich. In welcoming him to the bench Crowp Attorney Dudley E, Holmes said it was with a great Monday evening was guest speak­ er night at the Legion and the comrades heard a very fine address from Mr. Garland, of Western University, and head, of Adult Edu­ cation for Western Ontario, Mr. Garland spoke on Challenge of Agriculture”. At the outset he said that people came to Canada four, five or more genera­ tions ago because they were land hungry, but today the greatest problem facing this country was the loss of love of the soil. Farm­ ers have become discouraged be­ cause of poverty and hard work. The speaker stated that our first challenge was to try and impress on the people of Canada that agri­ culture is our basic industry. Farm­ ers are, doing as good a job as law­ yers, doctors, professors or preach­ ers. If agriculture is to survive it must rest on younger shoulders. Mr. Garland took his audience through the three stages of agri­ culture. First there was the hand method of farming which was suc­ ceeded by the implements. This cut down the use of manpower. Finally mechanization entered the picture and brought with it great changes and meant larger farms. Large farms brought about migra­ tory labour which has created a social problem and the small farm has had to compete with these larg­ er ones. . f The speaker felt keenly about the credit situation and stated that mortgages were one of the curses to the farmer. He also stated that the will made out 'by the father is often divided evenly with his sons and daughters which is another stone around the neck of the son left to look aftei- the farm. The majority of the estate should go- to him rather than to a daughter who can be supported by her husband or to a son who has lost interest in farming and probably doesn’t need the money. , Mr. Garland favoured the larger school area plan stating that our eductional system of today is gear­ ed for those students wishing to go to university and that they make up Jess than five per cent. The larger area plan will provide for those who want and should go to university but it will also- be gear-, ed to meet the needs of those not desirous of going to university. The lecturer stressed the value of farm forums, most' scientific < and farmers must get together their neighbors and discuss problems of agriculture. . In days gone by we have mined er than farmed our land. We been careless with our natural re­ sources. It isn’t what we take with us but what we leave. We must conserve the soil and think in terms of rotation, permanent pas- and contour plowing. Mr. Garland ended his talk with this pertenant fact that it was not just the farmers obligation but the obligation of every citizen. Follow­ ing his ^discourse the speaker dis­ cussed agricultural problems with members of the branch. ’ Comrade Bob. McCLINCHEY—GEIGER A very Quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized at the Zurich Evan­ gelical parsonage on 'Saturday, March 3H)l, when Rev. G.

It is some time, he declhreiL since the county has had a magistrate of its own, and the first time a lawyer had been appointed locally since the term of the late C, A, Seager, Mr. Holmes assured His Worship that his days would not be entirely filled with grief; but from his ex­ cellent reputation as a member of the ibar, the county could expect, and would have, he was sure, a con­ scientious magistrate. “Police courts are of as much importance as any in Canada. They require an able man to preside over them—and we have that in you,” Crown Attorney Holmes con­ cluded. Frank Donnelly, K.C., extended greetings on behalf Of the Bar of Huron. From his extensive prac­ tice in law, the speaker felt sure justice would be meted out, temper­ ed with mercy.
