ADDRESSES RED CROSS MEMBERS (Continued from Page One) and all are registered. The response to this request has been very gratify ing, many donors presenting themselv es at stated intervals. It is well to keep in mind that there are many things a Red Cross should not and cannot do. Some other organ izations. have provided bombers, but if any Red Cross were to purchase muni tions of any kind, then the Red Cross hospitals and hospital ships would lose the protection which, they now enjoy under the international code. Mrs. Manning visited Chorley Park, former residence of the Ontario Lieut. Governor, which is now'given over for war service, and where the -parcels are packed for prisoners of war. It was interesting, -to; hear of this work. The boxes run on a belt past girls and each girl puts in a different article. Thir teen boxes are packed in two minutes, containing seventeen articles: choco late, hard tack, prunes, raisins, mar- malate, chopped ham, corn beef, sal mon, sardines, cheese, butter, sugar, tea, salt, pepper, soap, and a card to be returned by the prisoner. When the box passes the last girl, it is ready to be mailed. Mrs. Manning also went to the warehouse where the sorting and ship ping of Red Cross supplies is done. The necessity of .the Red Cross direc tions fbeing . strictly’ followed was stressed, so that the task of the inspec tors may be easier. Everything is in spected,and many articles have to be altered., A staff of 60 girls do noth ing but re-knit and wash sox — surely we could do something about that. The quilts are all sorted as to size and material and the civilian .comforts, as to material1 hnd‘age. ' The ..warehouse shelves .arg fpll ..every morning with shipments .frpm. the' branches and are empty "‘’every night, everything being shipped away; Someucomforts are sent to outpost hospitals and units in On tario, but the great bulk goes overseas. Those-branches in the. fruit-growing •districts of Ontario co-operated with their Jo,cal Women’s Institutes, and last ycatbproduced 26 tons of jam and 1 ton of honey for overseas. Items which ’should be remembered: Red Cross directions must be followed. In spect all work carefully before ship ping and tie each parcel securely. Nev er measure knitting with a tape, al ways use a rule. Have your sox sized accurately and clearly. If you are a tight knitter, don’t knit, do sewing. Do not use the word “refugees”, use “bomb victims,” -and the articles made for them are called “civilian comforts”. PROVINCIAL HOG BONUS Some weeks ago, announcement was made that because of prevailing prices, the Ontario Government proposed to pay a bonus on hogs and cheese, the bonus on cheese not to be over 2c per lb., and the bonus on hogs .not over $1.00 per head. The proposed bonus is now on the way of becoming an actuality. On Monday of this week, the bonus bill was introduced in the Legislature. It is expected that the bonus on cheese shall have effect from February 1st, 1941, and on hogs from April 1st, 1941, and shall remain in force until March 31st, 1942, While the ’exact method of paying the bonus will not be definitely known until the Act is finally passed, and Regulations governing same have been drawn up, from statements which have already appeared in the press, it would seem that it is the intention of the Government to pay the bonus direct to the farmer. Obviously, it cannot Be expected that the Government will pay a bonus without having some satisfac tory evidence that the person apply ing for the bonus is actually entitled to it. Fortunately this contingency has already been provided for, The pro visions of the Hog Carcass Grading Regulations, which went into effect on September 30th last, require the ship per to mark each farmer’s lot of hogs, and to forward to the grader a mani fest showing the farmer’s name and address, number of hogs, and their mark of identity. •The Regulations also require that a shipper make out a statement for’cacli farmer’s lot of hogs which shall show the farmer's name, the official grade, total weight, or weight of each grade. In actual practice, this statement is made out by the buyer, and is combin ed with the official carcass grading certificate. The grader certifies to the grade, and the buyer to the weight and computation of the settlement. In many instances, for the informa tion of the farmer, individual carcass weights are recorded on the settlement form, and by the use of symbols, indi cate why the carcasses graded as they did. These statements are forwarded to the shipper along with the settlement cheque. Thus you will see that a grad ing statement has been issued on ever> lot of hogs which has been officially graded by a Dominion Government hog grader, and the farmer should in sist that he get the statement from his shipper. In some cases the shippers do not wish the farmers to know too much about the grade and yield of their hogs, and, therefore, find some excuse for not passing on the statement to the farmer. The statements have been forwarded to the shipper, and if the farmer wishes to have the statement on his hogs, he should insist on get ting it from his shipper or trucker. One other thing should be mention ed. The name and address on the statement is taken from the manifest supplied by the shipper. Farmers should make a point of seeing that their name and address, number of hogs, and mark of identity are proper ly entered on the manifest. It is understood that no application for hog bonus will be considered Un less the application is supported by the official Carcass Grading Certificate. Since an official certificate is issued on every farmer’s lot of hogs .which have been officially graded, and is available to the farmer through 'his shipper or trucker, it is the farmer’s responsibility to see that -he gbts his copy of the grading certificate from the shipper or trucker. The official carcass grading certifi cate issued on your hogs i.s valuable. Instist that you get your copy.

THANKS BE Oh, say, are you glad that we’ve no Nazi ‘hail’; That we’re not roused o’nights by the dread ‘Banshee wail’; That our roofs and our windows are whole‘and still there; That our kiddies are with us, not ‘Vaccys’ elsewhere? Are we thankful our head rests .at night on a pillow; That we’re not keeping watch on the turbulent billow; That we’re comfortably ‘doing our bit’ in this war Without too much trouble, or risk of a scar? . . ‘ Are we properly thankful that our lucky stars Keep us three thousand miles from this dealiest of wars; And that ne’er a Canadian woman or child Has been blasted to pieces, enslaved or defiled? Yet others as little war-guilty as we Are wounded, bereaved—their houses debris; Let us show we are grateful by vow ing to buy War Savings Certificates Regularly! William D. Dodd.
