After that date no employer may continue to employ any man covered by this Order, unless under special permit. The first five Compulsory Transfer Orders listed occu- pations, and required compliance by all male employees in those occupations if (a) in an age and marital class designated under the Military Call-up, or if (b) 16, 17 or .18 years of age. The Sixth Order repeats all occupations given in the five earlier Orders, and requires all other men from 16 to 40 years of age (both ages inclusive) to become available for transfer to higher priority jobs, by registering at the nearest Employment and Selective Service Office. Details of the Sixth Order were advertised in daily newspapers at the end of August.. Copies of the Order may be secured from any Employment and Selective Service Office. If in doubt as to the coverage of this Order, or the pro- cedure under it, ask your nearest Employment and Selective Service Office. All men, married or single, employed in designated occupations, aged 16 to 40, are now covered by the Orders. To avoid penalties, those who have not yet registered must do so by September 8th, .1943.

The boys all liked to fancy that they were just on the verge of being men. They were always careful to never let themselves be caught in anything that might make them appear to be sissies. Just the same there were times when we had to let go. The teacher was old and kindhearted and one day she sat down at her desk and didn't get up again.. She passed. on just the way she always wanted to busy at her work. Most of us dropped a few tears but my friend didn't. He said in a cold sort of way, "Well, she was DR. W. M.

People said that he was cold-blooded about it. I didn't think so. That young man was al- ways battling with his feelings. He was maybe afraid that somebody would laugh at him. I've often wondered if maybe somebody was cruel enough to laugh at his feelings when he was very small. He started going with a girl. She was a gay, happy girl from over on the J. W.

They went together for a long time. It was a trange contrast when you saw +him cool and reserved and somehow look- ng a little fearful about everything in general . • . And the girl who was SG happy. He used to get joshed a lot at threshing,s and bees about the wed- ding, He never said very much. Then all of a sudden she went away and he seemed to get more chilly than ever. and I seemed to see lines of unhappi- ness around his eyes, He was over here one day this spring to borrow the manure spreader, It was drizzling rain a little that day and I was smoking my pipe just inside the driving-shed doe -. He sat down and the conversation drifted around to these articles. He gave me quite a lecture on being sentimental about silly things like rail fences and swimming holes. He seemed to think that it would be better to talk about the value of a new barn or a new way of culti- vating the ground, He didn't like my style. In fact he couldn't see much beauty around a farm anyhow. Later on he was hurt when the team ran away one day and Mrs, Phil and. I decided to go and see him at the hos- pital. We were driving along the road and as we were going past his farm where he lives alone now, she commented on the way his mother used to have such a profusion of flow- ers and asked me to stop. She got out and clipped a bouquet of roses off a wild rambler out beside the front gate. I laughed at the thought of him appreciating flowers. I was wrong however. When we got there he took a look at those flowers . . and he started to cry. I guess he was lone- some for the sight and smell of his farm . . .and maybe they reminded him of his mother and her flowers. Anyhow he couldn't cover up his feel- ings that time and somehow I came away liking him a lot more than I ever did before. ASHFIELD Mrs. Roy Alton and Mrs. John Mullin, yisited with Mrs. Chris.

Mrs. Harry Fowler, Clinton, visited with her mother, Mrs. John Johnston; Sr, and their daughter, Mrs, Dynes Campbell, Wednesday afternoon and evening. The August meeting of the W. M. S. of Hackett's Church, met at the home of Mrs. George Lane, on Tuesday afternoon last week, The meeting opened by the president reading part • of the theme, "The Christian Steward- ship of Time." Hymn 431 sung and all repeating the Lord's Prayer in uni- son. The president read another por- tion of the theme and called on Mrs. Albert Alton, Miss Ina Campbell, Miss Bernadine Alton, Miss Elmira Alton, to read some verses of scrip- ture in touch with the theme. Hymn 432 sung, prayer by Mrs. Adam John- stone. Hymn 434 sung. For the absence of the secretary, Miss Ina Campbell read the minutes of the pre- vious meeting which were apporved as read. Business from the minutes. Mrs. Elmer Alton reported on the W. M. S. anniversary which we are look- ing forward to some time in Septem- ber. The Cor. Sec'y reported sending a card of condolence to Mrs. Ralph Cameron and receiving from. Mrs. Cameron a card of appreciation. Roll Call answered by a verse of scripture using the word "Pure", by 19 members and one visitor. This was the Young Ladies meeting and their leader, Mrs. Roy Alton presided. Readings were given by Mrs. Albert Alton, Mrs. Bill Wareing, Mrs. Alec Hackett, Jr., Mrs. George Henry, and Mrs. George Lane, the Misses Zora Campbell, Bernadine Alton and Elmira Alton, and a duet by Mrs. Goldie Wheeler and Miss Melda Lane. A chapter from the study book "The New Life Movement" was read by Miss Melda Lane. Two of the Heralds reported, Miss Bernadine Al- ton, on China, and Mrs_ Elmer Alton, on Temperance. The president, Mrs. Cyril Campbell, expressed our pleas- ure of having with us our immediate past president, Mrs. Erving Zinn, who moved from. our community last fall'. Mrs. Zinn thanked us for our kind welcome and said she often wished to be back with us at some of our meet- ings. The Red Cross president, Mrs. Elmer Alton, reported on the work, and handed out more sewing and knit- ting and sold tickets on a wool com- forter in aid of the Society. Mrs. Al- bert Alton closed the meeting with prayer, the Blessing sung and lunch served. Threshing is the order of the day. Some are finishing haulins in the grain and some fields are not worth the ex- pense of the twine and threshing. Wier Fp•cfar for * vonkir Pilivrfaiws of cfswks )3y Jim Grreenblat We hear a lot about manpower, but what about Canadian wonianpow- er? Well, there are 4,240,000 women over 14 years of age in Canada. Here are some interesting figures about them. As of January 30th. 1943, of this number there were 1,152,000 in in- dustry and 255,000 directly or indir- ectly in war industry. Farm women numbered 830,000; women students, 309,000. There were more than 31,367 in the armed services (and that figure must be considerably increased by this time). 300,000 are considered unem- ployable. * * * * Canada's vegetable oil industry is one of those revolutionized, in a sense, by the necessities of this global war. This industry, is, of course, agricul- tural. Take flaxseed, of which 53% of that used was imported in 1939. In 1942, however, all of the 3,388,195 bushels used were of domestic origin. Our acreage objective for 1943 is 2,492,000 or an astounding increase over the previous year of 67%. All these changing phases having to do with our agricultural and industrial economy will be part of the post-war problem. * * * * Is it all right to lend your ration book to your farmer friend who uses a great deal of tea, while you use very little? The Prices Board says no, and Thelma Craig of the information branch answered me this way: "Rat- ioning is for the equal sharing of cer- tain commodities, which are in short supply. It does not mean that Granny just because she likes the extra pot of tea, should be able to. have double - the ration of the •wornan•next door, nor does it provide for the swapping of tea and sugar by two neighbours who live across the road from each other." Fact of the matter is the' whole rationing system is set up on the basis that the majority will con- serve their use of rationed articles to actual and immediate needs. * *. Harking back to the Order-in-Coun- cil which made it an offence to waste coal or heat, owing to the serious fuel. situation facing Canada, it is interest- intr. to know that our normal peace time coal needs are about 30 million; tons. This year, geared to such a high war tempo, provision must be made for about 47 million tons. Canadians can be selfish as individual's and sneak ex- cessive heat, more than necessary, or they can play ball for the good of all in Canada. It's really co-operation for national conservation instead of coer- cion that is wanted.. * * Talking with a newspaperman back from Washington the other day, he ;, • told of trying ,out a meat shop righ4 4.lose- tor the main drag which adver- tises horse meat-eitoiee stuff front "young wild western horses."

An expert can do 60 lambs an hour, One reason for the importance of the drug at this time is that parasites destroy the animal's intestines which are so valuable for the making of surgical sutures needed on the battlefield. * * * Children in the country, here's a war job for you, The National Research Council needs 100,000 lbs. or more of the common milkweed, for experi- ments in blending with certain types of synthetic rubber, It will be paid for, Farmers who have goodly stands of the weed can cut with a binder leav- ing a long stubble of at least 8 inches. and making small sheaves.
