There are two main causes for these temporary and local shortages: For the past year we have been consistently using 10% to 15% more butter than in normal times with consequent 'disturbance to the distribution of our butter supplies. . Many people have been buying more butter than they currently need. The limited nature of the present shortage is shown by the fact that if every' home would reduce its consumption of butter by only one ounce per person per week (for the average home this means a quarter of a pound a, week) —or if We reduced our national consumption to the peacetime rate—the shortage would soon disappear. There is. no Reason for Panic Buying • It is unpatriotic and unnecessary for housewives to rush out to beat their neigh- bours, to the nearest grocery store. Butter will not be rationed to meet the present situation. Butter production is actually above normal for this.time of year. The Board itself is taking special action which it is believed will speedily restore normal supplies in retail stores. These supplies will however be adequate for normal consumption, if housewives in all parts of Canada co-operate. You can help in these ways: Scrupulously avoid waste and extravagance. Waste is wrong at all times. In tine of war it is sabotage. Reduce present consumption of butter by at least 041C wince per person per week,--,(for the itVeritge ittonte this means' a quarter of a pound a Week.) to; not buy wore than is needed for immediate use. HOW TO SAVE BUTTER AT MEAL-TIME 1. Use butter only for spreading on bread. 5. Never use butter jugt, out of the refrigerator. Wait until it is soft enough to spread easily. 3, Add 4 small amount of milk when creaming butter for sandwiches. IN COOS ING L Do not use butter in baking and cooking, when lard, shor- tening or meat dripping can he used. 1., Use level measurements of butter.. .. Guesswork means waste! 3, When adding cheese to a cream or white settee, use only half amount of butter stated in recipe, 4. ilk paper wrappings from but- ter to' grease baling dishes, 4. Do not ttse butter for re- warming vegetables. Serve meat gravy to avoid the tise of eittra Wler on potatoes, When adding tattler to veg& table dishes, add it sparingly.

The party broke up about twelve although we didn't get home until three, so we decided on Sunday we would take the film and Bud couldn't come down until late so she invited us up there, so aunt Lilly, Doris, Rene and the . children and myself went up and brought` her down with us 'for - a little while. - Monday and Tuesday was the same and I had to leave at four Tuesday afternoon, So they all came to the station to see me away and Bill had nine days so lie didn't have to leave until Wednesday, so you see we had at least one leave together, but to me the whole seven days seemed like about two, OUr 25 Point •Scientific gNarnit). atiop enables us to give you Clear,, Comfortable Vision F.

I got back from leave Tuesday night so before I answer yom4 letters I will tell you about it as well as I can. I left camp about 3.30 Sept. 20, and - after a very nice but uneventful trip after meeting three of England's R, ,A,F, pilots with who I travelled all Ile way from London, I arrived in Norwich about 8,30 in the blackout so I thought I would take a taxi home 'but after getting out of the station and finding none available I decided to walk as it wasn't so very far and .there was a little moon shining 'through the clouds. • Upon arriving at aunt Lilly I went -upstairs and knocked on the door ex- pecting to surprise them, but was sur- prised myself to find nobody home, so I left my kit bag outside the door and thought I would go over to aunt I got back in camp at eleven, ,but by the time I got my things out of the quarter stores and read your three letters. It was one o'clock when. I finally got to beet then last night I was on duty driving all night and the fog was so bad that at times yon couldn't even see the radiator,. hut at least I kept on the road so I think I will hit the hay early to-night. Every- one at home is well and I believe that we helped to cheer them all up some- what, but we did often mention how swell it would have been to have had you both with us. Doris and Malcolm, are both lovely children And they are sure growing. Doris makes us laugh with some of her sayings, Well enough of that now to try and answer your letters, I am real glad to hear that dad is feeling better again and hope he continues to improve and also that you are keeping fairly well. Bill is fine, a little thiner perhaps, but he hasn't changed otherwise—all they got when they came back from Dieppe was forty-eight hours. I am glad to hear that my mail is coining through alright, ours was held up for a while but it is coming along now, George says he had a good time on his last leave and I think -he is getting his next week, I think I told you that his brother is alright r again now. Yes Mother a letter coming over here sure helps to cheer the people up and now -that Mrs. Roose- velt is here it makes them feel that the people are with them_ more than before. I am glad everyone likes the pic- ture. I knew that you would show it around. I am getting along fine with the money it isn't any trouble at all when you get on to it. That is a very good'picture of Bert and I can imagine that his mother was sure worried for a while but we can thank God they both came back especially VEMMINIIMMINI= Once more women are playing an important part in putting out war. materials.

I have been putting the dates down as I receive them So, you will know if you. get them all but up until now I have received them all, Yes I am well away for wallets and still have the Canadian bill. I will keep it until some time I. need it but I keep my money in my belt now since I lost the other, I expect you will know by now that aunt Lilly and Doris received the parcels and thought they were fine, I was sure surprised to bear about Frank Watson, it was pretty sudden. Dave told me that the old town, was pretty dead now. How was Donna and did she bring her man with her. I am glad that the people still remem- ber us there as we, quite often think of them. I knew that you, would be glad to get My letters even if they were small but I like to be able to send a nice long one as it seems more like a letter then. Yes Mother, I received the, Patriotic Parcel and sent them a letter thanking them. I hope they received it. The weather is getting colder-here now but not too had yet and we have lots of clothes. We received an issue of a sweater, a pair of socks, and a pair of gloves and also a handkerchief from the Red Cross teklay,, guess Ethel Vanner will be mar- ried now, well good luck to her. It gets dark early now alright about half past six and the nights are long, but we have a good punch together and they go good.

I will stand another year but if my health is not better another eear I will retire, he said. Mr. Coot: ryas the only Cook on ee outside council circles that was nominated,. He gave a very humourous speech and it was difficult to tell which were digs. and which were compliments. He thanked the Reeve for the way he put on the reunion. All had a good aide. He congratulated the road superinten- dein on his good work, Roads are in good condition, he said. No one want, ed the plowing match in war time but council gave them $100, They thought that the county giving $2000 was the go-ahead signal and that it could not be stopped but it stopped very sud- denly. Road Superintendent Mr. Stuart McBurney, the road. superintendent, said that the total ex- penditure was $3767.79. Snow remov- al cost $188.75; snow fence $116.85; gravel, 5620 yards, 44c delivered on roads, $2841.07; dragging $571,62e brushing $35,00; culverts $49,69. Over- head was $167.98 and power grader $368.45. There was $1500 less than usual spent, he said. AleX Porterfield, Treas. The total taxes in 1942 to be collect- ed amount to $26,784.85 the treasurer said, He said that East Wawanosh had 17 schools and the size of the township was 6 by 12 miles. Cole borne had 11 schools. Some schools. are very poorly attended lie said. Mete is an agitation for school areas and I think it will come, he said. He gave a very clear statement on the township finances and said that the surplus was $8125,17 of which $2000 was in Victory Bonds. The township is in splendid financial position, he said. Other speakers included Cam. Jas,. Michie, of Morels and the elerk of Morris, George Martin, and W. W. Armstrong. I have been four years a member of the council of which three have been war years Coun, McDowell said. I have enjoyed the harmony for the most part though council did not al- ways agree. Despite experience some- thing new was coming up each year. The roads are the big expenditure and they are in good condition despite rains. I think with reasonable ex- pense can keep them that way. The money has been well spent and he re- called the low township rate 11% mills and felt doubtful if this can be held: The subsidy of 1 mill may be discon- tinued, he said, With the vast amount of money needed for war one cannot visualize what taxes we will need, but I am sure the township will do its part, he said. If back taxes were cleaned up it would be a benefit to the individual and the township, Harvey Black Comm. Black said the co-operation of the council members had been good -althoughenot . always exactly seeing eye to eye, The township roads are in good shape, If the new man nomin- ated came up I would give up. He would be a good man he said. He thanked his mover and seconder and thanked all for their _assistance .during the past years. Lewis Ruddy Coun: Ruddy said he listened with pleasure to the Reeve's report of the county council matters. It was a good report, lie said. Some brushing had been done on the second concession and some started on the side road and if weather remains favorable will get it finished,, Tile could not be secured this year, he said, due to war condi- tion. The weeds were left to tillem- The W. M. S. met at the home of Mrs, Jas. Jones on Thursday after- noon. Mrs, Norman. Thompson had charge of the meeting and a quilt was completed for the Red Cross, A large number of friends and neighbors gathered at the ninth line school in honor of Mr. and ,Mrs. Mel. Keating of London, who were spend- ing a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Chaniney, During the evening the young couple mere presented 'with a gift of money. Miss Jean Robinson visited friends in London over the week-end, Misses Clara Leddy, Mildred Jones and Irene Robinson of Winghatn High School, were at their homes here over the week-end, Mrs. Olive Allin of GOderich,' was a week-end visitor with her sister, Mrs. R, Chamney, Messrs Lorne Huey and Russel Hassard of Beecher, visited last week with Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Robinson and other friends, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Barker of Gode- rich, and,Miss Myrtle LeiShman were Sunday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Thompson, 9th Line and Southern Boundary. The getting of repairs for machinery was a proposition and be. said that some of the county machinery was laid up due to this. Ditch at Donnybrook corner had been fixed -to stop flood- ing. The county had rented out machin- ery not in use and had not only assist- ed in the war effort, .but had a large revenue from same. The tractor trail- er had cost about $16,000 but had al- ready done $32;000 of work. He spoke in glowing terms of the County Home and the efficient kindly manner with which it is operated, The cost of operating it for the year was $17,596.62 or $5.38 per week per in- mate. There are 99 inmates several of which are on the old age pension and also some paying inmates. Home is very crowded and there is a waiting list of at least 15. It is well run by Mrs. Jacobs ,he said. The financial postion of the Town- Ship is very sound, he said. The town- ship has purchased a $2,000 Victory Bond 'and after the war the council would have something to fall back on. He said that snore bonds should be bought and if back taxes were paid up this would be an easy matter. The roads are in good shape, better than the average. There is a possibility- that low rate of taxes would continue. We get our gravelling done very cheaply, he said. Speaking of the Salvage drive, lie asked all to collect all the scrap aboat their places and either sell it or doe- ate it. If you keep any scrap over 500 pounds you must have a permit or be subject to a fine. The county did well in the Victory Loan drive as did the township, both going over the top. He congratulatee the people on this effort. It is not too early to think of rehabilition as many are servile; in the armed forces. Those that come-back must be looked after and the township has their part to play. The '75th Anniversary picnic was successful and as Reeve he thanked all for their help in putting it aercees. Clerk deserved special credit for the editing of the Historical Booklet. East Wawanosh was leading the way in many aspects in regard to the Federation of Agriculture. Tide is a good movement, he said. J. D. Beecroft After congratulating the reeve on his splendid report of the county council and thanking his mover and seconder, Come 5. D. Beecroft said there was not much call for an elec- tion and if the reeve wishes to stand for warden it is not my desire to rule him out of this opportunity or cause an election. Speaking of the Victory Loan he congratulated the people of East AVawancl'ell and thanked them for their support. Ale. Beecroft was a canvasser, $43,000 was subscribed. People were happy to go over the top and they have just reason to be proud, he said, Many changes during :he year. The crops have been good, he said, and outside of the labor situation, which is getting serious, we have much to be thankful for, Arrears of tee-es are quite a problem he said. We do not want to get tough ACCLAMATION IN EAST WAWANOSH NEW VULTEE, "VENGEANCE" TO SWOOP DOWN ON AXIS (Continued from page one) $95,100,00 Mr. Rechnond is chairman of this committee. Five bridges had been built and, the county roads are still lit good shape. Work not done now be said would have to be done after the war, in reply to a question in regard to snow plowing, ha stated that at the lone session the committee recom- mended that no snow plowing be done but that the matter was left over until the November session when sonic Reeves raised objections. It was fin- ally decided at the meeting in Novem- ber that the roads be kept open until after Now Years and that after that only roads to help the war .effort would be plowed.
