Farmers' Shed Pays Dividends
In the majority of country towns
and villages farmers when they drive
into town with a team of single horse
usually help themselves to the ac-
comodation offorded by church sheds
without any paying for it. In the good
old days, the hotels also furnished free
accomodation. Now it is different. The
church sheds are seldom filled on Sun-
day or any other day. Old Dobin has
been replaced by the automobile. In
Elmira it is different. Over there they
operate a shed as a business propos-
ition. The annual report at the end of
the past year showed a satisfactory
balance. 'on hand. The shareholders
were all satisfied. There must be few-
er' free sheds and many more horses
around Elmira thawin most places.—

money was being nsed to construct an

The annual meeting of the Culrbss
Mutual Fire Insurance Company was
held in the Town Hall, Teeswter. The
attendance was small owing to the fun-

'dition with a comfortable balance on

total loss during 1941 amounted to

LET'S GO ALL OUT!
On Monday across Canada the
Second Victory Loan got tuuler way
after much planning and a great deal
of forthought. One often wonders why
it is necessary to make such prepar-
ations when it should be crystal clear
to all that the money is absolutely
necessary fQ our war effort. However
it is surprising how many people that
are still of the opinion no matter Wlhat
they do or don't do Britain and the
United States will win the final battle.
This sort of wishful thinking is not
only wrong and is sabotage of the
worst kind. The only way we can do
our part as Canadians is play any part
of which we are capable.
There is no such a thing as. equality
of service. Those who offer themselves
for the armed forces, offer their all,
we who make up the home front can-
not begin to match this service, but
we can show our appreciation by an
all-out home effort. At the present
time this is the purchase of Victory
Bonds to the fullest extent possible.
Are you doing your share? If not
there is yet time. Go buy a Victory
Band, it will make you feel much
better.

GARBAGE COLLECTION
In many towns the size of Wingham
a system of garbage collection has
been instituted. This means that every
place of business and every home has
each week, some places twice a week,
refuge taken away and properly dispos-
ition made of it, The cost of such is
a scheme is very much greater than
that which we pay here under a vol-
untary method, about one third. Any
one wishing such a service in Wing-
ham can have it for the modest am
ount of $4.00 a year. The cost under
a town wide-collection system„based
on similar undertakings would be a-
bout $12.00. It is surprising that more
citizens do not use this service in our
town when it can be had so cheaply.
The day will come, no doubt, when
we will have a compulsory garbage
collection system_In the meantime,
we have a good service under a volun-
tary method for those that wish it.
