BARNISS TOMORROW Is carelessness the enemy within your gates? ,An upset lantern may' prove as disastrous as a fire bomb. Matches where children can get them are as dangerous as a fire maniac. Putting coal oil in the stove is akin to putting a torch to your house. A car, truck or tractor driven on your barn floor may reduce your buildings to "scorched earth." Safeguard life and property 'by practising every safety measure. Don't set a latitern down, even on a window ledge, but hang well up with a good strong snap. Keep matches in metal boxes out of the reach of children. Don't revive a fire with coal oil or gasoline. If you must drive a motor driven vehicle on your barn floor, make sure that the floor is swept clean of everything flammable. Life is dear—and buildings almost impossible to replace for the duration. Furthermore, your farm is one of the food baskets of the Empire—a vital cog_in our Victory machine. Fight to prevent fires, for your loss is the Nation's loss now.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle "Doing the Dishes" Why is it that a man will take such great pains to get out of helping his wife with the dishes? On the other hand why is it - that a woman will seldom ever accept the offer of com- pany when they volunteer to help her with dishes after a meal? Those are two questions which no doubt men have been asking.themselves for years without arriving at a solution to the problem. There are times When Mrs. Phil gets up after supper and seems to act- ually fly through the dish-washing operation. The head of the house rocks contentedly •in the old rocker in front of the fire and with his slippered feet on the damper and the paper in his hands proceeds to thoroughly en- joy himself. Glancing up over .the newspaper from time to time to see how the task has progressed- he vol- unteers to help about the time she has the silverware put away and has only the tea-pot left for drying. The dangerous times are easy to spot. Mrs. Phil will complain, mildly about the amount of work there has been to do all clay long. Patricia Ann was fussy .. . . .old Mrs. So and So called her up in the middle of the afternoon and kept her talking for at least two hours The cream-man was stuck in the laneway .Some- body came to call right after dinner . . and so on. Yours truly begins telling her of the chores yet to be done in the stable. There's hay to be put down for the + 1•.• • , morning . . .and grain to be bagged for seeding operations . . , .and pos- sibly it would be as well to go over and see neighbor Higgins about get- ting his extra horse for cultivating or some such alibi which with wotild be considered quite plausible by a woman of less experience in such matters. There are times when it works but usually Mrs., Phil just tos- ses the dish-towel in my direction and that is the end of the discussion. Last week we had company. There were the usual amount of aunts, uncles and cousins from the next concession and all the leaves had to be put in the extension table for the occasion. There was a volume of food and an enormous amount of dirty dishes. As soon as the meal was over the men ad- journed to the front room and a few went down to the stable to look over the stock. Some of the women folks started to clear the dishes away but Mrs. Phil much to my annoyance shepherded them away off to the par- lor. We washed dishes and dried them WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES' He is . overdue on a flight out of Oahti, in the Hawaiian Islands, the War Department announced — ap- parently lost in the watery wastes where Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1937 on, her flight around the world. Damage Hun Locomotives London, — Royal Canadian Air Force "engine busters" swept Occu- pied France with their cannon-armed Spitfires, and on their return reported having damaged 12 more railway loco- motives.

Genoa Feels "Block-Busters" London, — Genoa trembled and flamed under the R.A.F.'s two-ten Clear telephone lines for ALL"OUT PRODUCTION Your telephone is part of it vast interlocking sp. tem now carrying an abnormal wartime load. Don't let needleps delays hold up messages on which pro. duction efficiency may depend. • More than two years ago, hundreds of patriotic corporations and car owners were already making road tests with a new kind of tire. It bore the famous Silvertown name. But more than half its rubber was synthetic . . . B. F. Goodrich Ameripol. Since that time synthetic rubber has leaped to new importance. A large part of our war effort depends upon this continent's ability to produce good tires from synthetic rubber. The tires we Will drive upon after the war may well be synthetic. Hence the question, "How good will these new tires be ?" is a vital one. There are several ways to answer it. Perhaps the best way is to let you read what actually happened when tires made with Ameripol were put to the test of day-after-day driving. Perhaps the best people to tell you are those who owned the cars and did the driving. The esters quoted here are only a few of many received. We hope that others who patriotically co-operated will understand that space limited the number of statements we could print. *NOTE : This advertisement is not intendea to give the impression that tires made with synthetic rubber are on public sale. This is not true. And it is not known when it will be true. This is because military needs must come first. B. F.

Beech - Nut Packing Company —"Altogether we would say that they showed up well, and we would be lust as satisfied to buy them as tires of natural rubber." C. iv.

"These tires are worn smooth, but no fabric is showing and carcasses appear to be in good condition The earned mileage as above is nornial and compares favorably with regular line tires."
