We would particularly draw to the attention of our readers an advertise­ ment which appeared in a recent issue, inserted by the income tax division of the department of national revenue, and outlining the new installment plan for payment of income tax. More people in Canada will be required to pay income tax this year than ever before, and many who have never paid it before will this year be paying it for the first time. Canadians, like their fellow citizens in every part of the empire, are mak­ ing every possible sacrifice to speed the day when the allied forces will fin­ ally and permanently defeat the un­ principled aggressors of the dictator ruled countries, and bring freedom to the downtrodden peoples of the rav­ aged small nations of Europe. With neutral U.S.A, bending every effort to help our cause, every citizen of this country must do his part in achieving victory. The government has made possible the payment of income taxes by in­ stallments over a period of eight months. Now it should be realized that there is no choice of the eight months in which to pay. If you are to take advantage of this plan, and with­ out payment of interest, you must start payment in January. In the ad­ vertisement to which we have referred the income division has set forth in very simple language the details of the plan. It tells you if you are assessable for income tax. It tells you how, and when, and where to pay it, and how much your tax will be. The man or woman who is eligible for payment of income tax is throw-, ing money away if they fail to take advantage of the plan presented, so the wisest thing is to take a little time off and study the advertisement thor­ oughly, so that a proper understand­ ing of the legislation might be obtain­ ed. During the coming year there are going to be many calls upon your pat­ riotism. You are being asked to sup­ port the war savings certificate drive. You will be asked to assist several war charities in the month of March. You will be asked to buy war bonds, and there will be other calls upon the av­ erage man throughout the year. To be able to pay income tax in monthly installments is a special privilege, and every citizen liable to income tax should study the plan, and make ar­ rangements to take advantage of it be­ fore the end of this month. ❖ ( ❖ ❖ ;l; * SAFETY AS WAR MEASURE A plea for “Production With Safe­ ty,”. for the coming year, is made in the latest bulletin of the Industrial Ac­ cident Prevention Associations. Pro­ per instruction to employees, together with adequate supervision, is urged as a major effort towards achievement of the goal of the safety slogan. Production with safety depends to a large extent upon the manner in which operations are performed and on the use of machinery guards de­ signed for specific operations. Lack of guard adjustment, as well as fail­ ure to observe safe work practices, has already — in the first few days of 1941 — resulted in permanent disabil­ ity claims being filed with the Work­ men’s Compensation Board. “What of conditions in youi- plant?” safety com­ mittees and industrial heads are asked in the Associations’ appeal. * J|: * $ * “ISING-GLASS” GOES TO WAR Over the Empire’s sea lanes today <ail the ships of freedom, all carrying their precious cargoes that will help tlie Empire and her Allies defeat the cruellest tyranny the world has ever known, And mica, one of the most useful minerals in Nature’s under­ ground storehouse, plays no small part in the great parade of essential war materials. Mica is perhaps best known as a heat and electrical insulator and it is found in varying amounts in electric Irons, toasters, condensers and other appliances of that kind. It's use in mechanized warfare, however, has pro­ gressed by leaps and bounds because of the tremendous demand for heat­ proof materials, and because it an­ swers such requirements better than anything else. AU-three of the fight­ ing services benefit from the use of Mica. Ordinary spark-plugs used in automobiles are unsafe in airplanes, but a mica sparkplug provides high resistance to mechanical and thermal shock and renders the work of the gal­ lant Allied airmen that much safer, The exhaust pipes of high-speed fighter and bomber airplanes use mica for insulation purposes. Lenses of goggles, smoke helmets and gas masks too, are made of clear, transparent sheet mica. And electrical apparatus of all kinds, essential to carrying out mechanized defence and attack, is aid­ ed in one form or another by this min­ eral.

Mr. Philip Miller at the west end of the town, said he heard the song of a canary across the street and went to investigate. When he approahced the little songster it flew back across the street and he got a good look at it, leaving no doubt in his mind as to its being a canary.—Listowel Banner.

Last week George Looker brought an egg into this office that deserves special mention. Measuring eight by seven inches, it tipped the scales at 5 ounces, so you can imagine its size compared to an ordinary Grade A egg of 2 ounces. The egg was laid by an ambitious hen on the farm of Bill Ni­ chols, Fullarton, near Goulds, and has been on display in the Looker store, where it may be seen by anyone at all sceptical.—“Mitchell Advocate.

You must have handled thousands of letters, newspapers, magazines, and we believe with a minimum of mistak­ es. But for all this you received your pay. That was the service you con­ tracted to give, and we know you per­ formed your duties faithfully, your years of mail deliverer is proof of that. We, the people on Route 3, are sor­ ry to hear that you. are quitting your job. We do not forget the hundreds of services you rendered us, services not contracted for, but nevertheless, apparently cheerfully given, the little errand done, the parcels carried, the ‘nipples for baby's bottle, the worm tablets for Willie, the lipstick for Mary, the tobacco for Dad, the bread, the meat, the canned goods, the dry goods, hundreds of things needed by­ us when we were unable to get them, for ourselves. We may{ not always have shown our appreciation at the time, but now that' you are leaving us, we would like to impress on you that* we have appreciated your services, and as 4 little mark of that appreciation, we would like you to accept from us this chair. It looks like a comfortable chair, and we hope you find it so, and that you may be spared many years to enjoy it. Signed on behalf of the people of R. R. 3, Wm. J. Dobie, Fred Toll, Leonard Cook, Alf. Nesbitt. The pre­ sentation was made by Wm. Dobie and Fred Toll. Mr. Maines thanked his host of friends in his usual pleas­ ing manner.
