A hot foot bath before retiring is helpful, Hot drinks are also helpful. "Lost time from work is lost wages.. It costs less to prevent than to cure," is the underlying theme of "The Cold Facts." Why They Smiled A speaker who had been asked to make his after-dinner remarks as brief as possible, rose and to the constern- ation rif the chairman, said: "I have been asked to propose the toast to our guest, and I have been: told that the less said the better." YOU FEEL- - if you were fighting — grimly, desperately, to -ward off a murderous attack on your home. How would you feel . . if you cried out to your family for help—the very ones you were defend- ing— and found them so selfish, so indifferent they turned away and let you fight it out alone? That would take the heart right out of you, wouldn't it? You bet it would! Then, think of your lads overseas—they're looking to you for help . for the planes, ships and guns that will give them an ad- vantage in their fight against your deadly and powerful enemy. Face the truth — we're confronted with a real and terrible changer. We've all got to help—we've got to give them what they need to fight with ... and we can't do it unless we deny ourselves those luxuries and conveniences that not only cost money to buy, but take labour to produce. Sure, those extras make life soft and cots; fortabie—but they don't make it safe. 'Remember,. we can lose this war if we don't supply those vital war materials. Each one of us must do our share. Any price we par for freedom is not too high.

The order, effective. November 15, does not apply where no other "rea- sonable direct" form of public trans- portation is available. The department announcement said that under instructions from Transit Controller G. S. Gray regional transit offices throughout Canada mailed notices of the new directive to all public vehicle operators, The instruc- tions will not prevent the carrying of a passenger on a fifty-mile round trip, but will prohibit the sale of a ticket for any continuous journey by bus of more than fifty miles, except on routes approved by the controller, The letter to the operators reads in part: "The principle on which this orders is based is that, in the light of the present emergency and the drastic need to curtail the use of gasoline, rubber and labor, the most effective and necessary use of bus operation is in local service. A journey in excess of fifty miles cannot be, and is not, deemed to fall within this category. "In the vast majority of instances, journeys in excess of fifty' miles can be made by rail, even though they may entail some inconveniece, and possibly added expense. Where buses provide the sole means of transporta- tion, or where other means are hope- lessly inconvenient, exceptions will be made to the general order, each case being judged on its own merits. "It is expected that this order will result in a substantial reduction in bus mileage. Operators will submit their own proposals as to schedules to be operated. Irrespective of the length of route, any services which enneces sarily duplicate other transportation services must be discontinued, but routes which supply essential local services are to be maintained, BELMORE With the bombing of Waterloo and Kitchener the men all turned out Sat- urday to raise Mr. Wm.

THE CUNNING JAP Oh cunning Jap you sneaking rat, I'm sure you don't know what your at. For if you did you would behave, And not try China to enslave. . You have joined hands with. Hitler too, Both will be whipped when the war is through. You picked a quarrel with. Uncle Sam, You'll find him tough while in a jam. With Jack Canuck and old John Bull, You'll find your belly more than full. And those Australians really full of fun, Their forces do make you Japs run, The fighters from South America too, Will have your hide before all's through. You surely are a measily crowd, And use your lying tongue aloud. Your Captured flag not up to much, Roosevelt would not it even touch, Sam's flying fortresses with pilots bold, Will in the end knock you Japs cold. Then you may take your idol god„ And bury him deep beneath the sod. W, C. Scott WESTFIELD Miss Jean McDowell has gone to Toronto where she expects to take a position for the winter.

Colin Gibson, Minister of National Revenue stated that while farm businesses,, like all! other businesses were required by law to make the first payment on their 1942 Income Tax on Oct. 15th, hi Department was fully aware of the special difficulties farmers would face, and had been instructed to give them. some leeway and all possible assis- tance. Mr. Gibson explained that the low- ering of the Income Tax base to $660 for single men and $120u for married men, combined with better prices and greater production, weuld bring a large number of farmers into the In- come Tax paying group, who had not been taxable in past years. In view of this,. said the Mini-ter the Com- missioner of Income Tai: was working with farmers' representatives to simp- lify farm Income Tax fermi and pro- cedure, to make recommendations whicinweuld as far as passible recog- nize the seas' nal nature of farm i come and expenses. and the difference between the farm and the city bus- iness. The results of this examination of he subject would be fuTy publicized, Mr. Gibson said, and. tl.ert he would call on farmers' for the -ame kind of !" patriotic co-operation they had shown; stepping up food pr +dilation. In the meantime he urged every farm op- I, erator who had not kept some sort of egular accounts, to start now and jot down every 1942 farm receipt and ex- peftse they could remember and to keep a careful record ef them from now on. Jim Says IT. CAN BE DONE Jim finds times hard. His standard of living has dropped. There are all these new taxes. Now there's another Victory Loan and Jim is expected to subscribe. "Rock bottom !" was Jim's first thought. "We're on rock bottom. Just can't find the money !" He's thought some more since. And he's decided it can be done. Jim says he doubts if Merritt lost much time wondering if it could be done when he crossed that bridge at Dieppe. `42:e' This advertisement contributed to the Victory Loan campaign by Dominion Tektile Company Limited, Montreal. •1010•11111•MIIIMIMill has been added—or place the roe in dampened parchment paper, sprinkle with vinegar and salt and boil.

URGENT TO TAKE CARE JUTE BAGS Among goods that are becoming in- creasingly short in supply are jute bags. Farmers are urged not only to take special care of every kind, of bag, but to keep them moving back into the trade, With filled bags care should be taken to see that they are not stacked so high as to rupture the bags on the bottom. No hooks should be used and every precaution taken to prevent damage by rats and mice. The bags should be stored in a dry place. When opening them open by the seam by cutting the string, not the cloth. Empty bags should be well shaken then hung over a wire in a high dry place. As soon as possible deliver the empty bags, to your supplier or sell them to a second hand bag dealer or licensed peddler. This will mean the bags will soon be in re-use again, cleaned and repaired, if necessary. It is illegal to mutilate or destroy any kind of jute or cotton bag; Don't hoard bags. Get them back into the trade as they are urgently needed as containers for essential pro- ducts, Due to war conditions supplies of jute from India are most uncertain of supply. COLDS ARE VERY CONTAGIOUS INDEED "The cold bug is highly contagious, He is responsible for more loss of time from work than any other cause. He saps your vitality and often leads to more serious illness, such as in- fluenza or pneumonia." Thus reads a pamphlet called "The Cold Facts' just issued by tile Indus- trial Division, Health League of Can- ada for use in factories and industrial plants. Accompanying it is a graphic poster illustrating the menace of the WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES
