The raping of Poland by the Nazis and the linking of the Germans with the Soviet is a direct challenge to the rest of the world. The British Empire and France have accepted this challenge. If Germany is the victor, which God forbid, the Nazi system would kick democracy into the sea. This would be the saddest day the world has ever known. These are just a few of the reasons why the Allies must stop Hitler in his ambitious ideas. es of hose were used and at time of going to press the firemen were still on dUty.’mMt. Forest Confederate.

DISTRICT Brussels Fair Had Successful Year The annual meeting of the East Huron Agricultural Society was held after having been postponed on ac­ count of inclement weather. It was the best turnout and most enthusias­ tic meeting in years. The society spent $400 in improvements during the past year; paid out $900 in prizes and are making plans for a better fair in 1940. Old board of directors and of­ ficers were re-elected. Dublin Tot Bats Sleeping Tablets An anxious week-end was spent by Mr, and Mrs, Dan Costello, Dublin, after their two-year-old daughter, Pat­ ricia, had taken four luminal tablets in mistake for some candy some time on Saturday afternoon. Known as pheno-barbital, these tablets are used by adults for inducing resit, and we believe they have not been procurable from drug stores without a doctor’s prescription for some time. The lit’- tie tot ate four tablets, after reaching them from a shelf.Mitchell Advo­ cate.COUNTS MOST A VALUE I ■ * .

P, Smith was call­ ed when the trouble was noticed and with the aid of a fire extinguisher, the blaze was squelched. The fire was smouldering in the wall behind the stove, and some damage was done, both by the fire, and in trying to ’get at the trouble.

Prem­ ier Daladier, of France, shortly after gave a speech in which he warned the people that total war was soon to conte. Hitler, in his first address since November Sth, made it clear that Ger­ many was out to win the war and that the Allies would feel the effect of the German war machine in a short time. It appears to us that these leaders are preparing the people for what is to come, a bloody period in the Avar. So far we have not felt that the war proper Avas under way but it is appar­ ent that this condition is not to last for much longer. Many are of the op­ inion that with the great defenses that have been prepared the fury of the war will not be as devastating as it was in the Great War, We are of the opinion -.that this is more than offset i by the more efficient arms that have] been devised. 1 At any rate the leaders in Britain | Friday afternoon.

REFORESTATION The County Council at its recent meeting turned down the suggestion of some members that $5000 be spent ou reforestation within the county this year. The County Council has been toying with this problem for some time and so far very little has been accomplished. The majority of the council members were of the opinion j that due to war conditions it was not; worth the Mme to launch a reforests-j lion scheme. It may be a good pol-1 'icy to curtail expenditures as far asir possible during the war period, but^ to stand still in Important matters, we"*' believe, is a mistake. The matter of reforestation has been left off too long I in this county, as it has in many other j centres, but the council did not vote any money for war purposes there­ fore we can see no good reason for holding back from getting this im­ portant work under way.
