Manion Appeals for National Govt. • Brandon — An earnest appeal to Canadians to forget peacetime differ ences, political and otherwise, in a united prosecution of the war through a National Government was sounded by Conservative Leader Manion.

Ontario Deficit $4,444,929 > Toronto — With a deficit of $4,444,- 939 for the fiscal year ending March 31, premier Mitchell F. Hepburn pre sented his budget to the Ontario Leg islature, revealing at the same time the province has cut its subsidy ho municipalities by a half-mill. Far from being a sunshine budget a? the prem ier, acting in his capacity as provinc ial treasurer, has tabled in past years, the current financial statement con tained “bad news” for local municipal ities who, instead of receiving A mill and a half return on their general as sessment, will only get one milt this year.., As a result of the half-mill re duction in subsidies, municipalities in the province will lose about $1,500,000 it is estimated. Only new tax impos ed by the Hepburn Government was the increase in the levy on corpora tions, from which source it is hoped to collect an additional $5,000,000 in revenue. Premier Hepburn has esti mated that ordinary revenue for the corping year from April 1, 1940, to .March 31, 1941, will amount to $89,- 051,209.40, while ordinary expenditur es for the same period (not including unemploment relief) will amount to $82,744,970.24. This leaves an excess of ordinary revenue over ordinary ex penditure of $6,306,239.16. Estimating expenses for those on relief during the coming year at $5,950,000,' the prem ier expects a surplus of $356,239.16 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1941.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS Britain Calls 250,000 More Men London — Great Britain, preparing for any extension of the war front, stepped up its mobilization program to permit quick absorption of a new class of 250,000 conscripts ordered to register for military service. The new conscripts, Britons now 23,' probably will. be placed under arms early in March in line with a training speed up expected to. increase the army to a. total of 2,500,000 men before 1941. here that London Expect Peace Bid London — Diplomatic circles conjectured on the possibility Premier Mussolini would advance some form of a new peace plan dur ing the European trip to be undertak en by Sumner- Welles, Unite'd States under-secretary of state.

I lady in New Yojk. She is a regular subscriber of this paper and she flat tered me by saying that this column of mine was one of the first things she reads. In the letter-she says, “Do write more about that baby. It seems to me that nothing could be of more interest than Patricia Ann. Why, I've even got her picture in my mind. Do write more stories about her.” ‘ SomShow there seems to be a uni versal appeal to babies. It rather-did my heart good to be visiting recently and having the’privilege of meeting a confirmed' old bachelor with .whom the word “sentimentality" just doesn’t seem to rhyme. Before leaving he whispered to me, “By George, but I’ve enjoyed hearing about that baby of yours, and the very first time I get I’m going over to see her.” Needless to say I’m tempted to switch the theme of this column over to that of babies and forget about the farm doings, but common sense has been teliing me that people would get tired of hearing me rave about this new. addition to the Osifer household. There’s\a story in every smile .of baby. Strange how each time that Patricia Ann smiles it seems even more wonderful than the last time. You detect that it looks more grown up . . that she’s developing the most wonderful dimples. You even call for Mrs. Phil to^ stop her industrious mixing of batter to come over, floury arms and all, to see the baby smile. She complains a little about the fam ily nuisance, but, always comes over to peer into the cradle at the newest development in 1940 'smiles. Or take, for instance, the times when yo usuddenly get tired of clean ing grain or some of the other menial tasks and amble up to the house. Mrs. Phil is busy ... the baby’s good and you’re warned not to disturb her. “But just one tiny look.” You look! Baby smiles! You put your hat down and venture a finger in the nieghbor- hood of her chin. Baby chuckles! You pull up a chair and start talking very low. Then remembering the work, af ter several minutes, y.ou case away, reach for the hat and almost get to the door when Patricia Ann discovers your absence and let’s forth a clarion call. It develops into your being chas ed entirely or else ushered into the. task of amusing baby, who, as is us ual under such circumstances, wants to really be amused. Yes, there’s a story in the way she chuckles to herself . . plays with a flimsy gew-gaw of a rattle . . tries tn roll over in her cradle . . discovers for tl^c first time the fascination of playing hide and seek with the grown- wkn’f this a New line, Friend?”“Ye s, tt k«U Farmer McDougan finally goto Telephone!” i you mind?

You slither into bed with an ache in every bone, thankful for ithe warm comfort of the soft sheets and pillow case . . the luxuriant give to the mattress . . and in a few seconds go .sliding off down into that black abyss that is sleep . . only to be awakened with a start as the wailing sound of the baby pierces your comforting sleep. Is she sick? Is she fooling? Is she getting teeth? Try the hot "water bottle on her stomach? And as you struggle around in a half coma, you wonder in a vague sort of way .if you were ever a baby yourself, forgetting that it’s been, weeks since this. You discover that babies in the world, self looking them over more intently, and wondering why their smile is not as fascinating as that of your own. There’s a story in the way you watch her at play and wonder what she will be in the years to come. You try to pufzle out how the features will develop . . what she will look like . . and so on. No matter who they are, hard heart or soft heart . . there’s magic .in the velvety touch of a baby’s fingers that seems to reach out and strike home in a warm, pleasant way making you forget the harsh realities and think only of the pleasant side of affairs. It looks, folks, as if the baby has taken up some more of yoru. time. Do MINIATURE SHELL-TORN BATTLEFRONT TEACHES '* TRANSPORT METHODS URGES ONTARIO FARMERS TO OBTAIN SEED NOW Hon. P. M. Dewan, Ont Minister of Agriculture, states plenty of good quality seed available, but points to keen demand for seed outside the province. baby acted like there are other You find your- Ontario farmers are urged by the provincial Minister of Agriculture, Hon. P. M. Dewan, to make arrange ments to obtain spring seed. “The result of a provincial seed sur vey just completed by Agricultural Representatives, shows there is plen ty of good quality seed to meet the needs of Ontario farmer's for spring planting. But this is contingent on farmers arranging for their needs right away or at the earliest possible moment as there also is a keen de mand for seed outside the province," said Mr. Dewan. “Farmers, in my opinion, would .be well advised to get in touch with their agricultural representative, .chairman of their field crop association or man ager of seed cleaning plant to. learn the nearest and best source of supply. If we are to increase production we must use better seed and, as a result of this survey, we know where this better seed is,” Mr. Dewan stated.
