CENSUS GETS UNDER WAY
JUNE 2nd
Under oath to seek truthful answers
from millions of Canadians, nearly
17,000 census enumerators will set out
On their appointed rounds on June 2nd
to take the t^u-year-count of the coun
try’s people and resources. They deal
with population, housing, merchandis
ing and service establishments, general
farm agriculture, fruits and vegetables,
abandoned and idle farms, animals, an-;
imal products, fruit, gardens and so
forth not on farms. There also is a
supplementary schedule for the blind
and deaf mutes and an individual form
to be left for those who may be out
of reach when the enumerator calls.
Before he or she starts the enumerator
will receive detailed Instructions from
census commissioners. Other inform
ation that will be collected at certain
houses are, length of residence, rent
als, repairs, equipment and mortgages.
This is a very great task and the pub
lic can expedite .things greatly for
those doing this work by giving out
the information requested as quickly
and accurately as possible.
VICTORY LOAN
A most important event in the his
tory of Canada will commence on June
2nd also. That will be the day of the
big take-off in the lending by the peo
ple of Canada, by means of the 1941
Victory Loan, to their country, $600,-
000,000. It is imperative that Canada
do this job thoroughly .and with dis
patch. The bonds are in denomina
tions so that almost every earner in
the country may take part. The de
nominations are $50, $100, $500, and
$1,000. These may be purchased out
right or upon easy terms of payment.

Has Bullet in Brain
Merton Scott, 44-year-old Elma
township farmer, was rushed to'Lis-
towel Memorial hospital Thursday af
ter allegedly attempting to end his own
life. Scott returned home to his farm
near Donegal in a despondent mood.
Taking a .22. calibre rifle from the
house, he is said to have walked out in
the laneway and placing the muzzle
of the rifle to his head, pulled the trig
ger. Powder marks on Scott’s head
showed that the shooting was at ex
tremely close range. The bullet ent
ered the farmer’s head above and be
hind the right ear, fracturing his skull
and piercing the brain.
Girl Run Over by Truck
Her condition little changed since
she was admitted to the Hanover Me

Himmelspach of Ha’nover, .is reported
in a critical state. Suffering intensely
from internal injuries and a fractured
pelvis suffered when the dual wheels
of a truck passed over the lower part
of her body, the girl would possibly
not have survived the ordeal but for
her rugged constitution and youthful
vitality.
Small Boy Starts Car
Norman Herrgott’s little son, Ger
ald, got into his dad’s car and stepped
on the starter. The machine backed
out on to the paved highway on Elora

Scene, and shut off the ignition. In
doing so he dislocated a bone in his
hand.—Mildmay Gazette.
