rates `between the cities and the
smaller municipalities so that our
local industries are in as good a posi-
tion to compete and so that new in-
dustries can be attracted.. to towns
such as ours, If 'there is an election
and I ant favoured with your confi-
dence I will do my best as your com-
missioner to bring before the proper
authorities their promise and the need
for equalization of the rates,
Jack Reavie
Jack Reavie thanked his n-cover and
seconder and said if you see fit to
have me sit on your council board 1
will do my very best in the interests
of the town.
Murray Johnson
Councillor Johnson said that lie had
been chairman, of the property com-
mittee. They had had an opportunity
to rent the rink .or a number of years
and that a dance floor would have
been installed if this had been done.
He felt it was a good thing that this
was not done. He rgretted that
Mayor Crawford was giving up office.
He said be would stand for re-election,
Walter VanWyck
This is 7 or 8 times I have been in
this position and I thank the people
for the confidence they have placed in
me during that time, Mr, VanWyck
said. I was chairman of the Fire com-
mittee also a member of the finance
and property committees, he stated.
The firemen have .ii.ndled every local
fire successfully. I will think over
whether I will stand again, but if I
do I hope you will place the same
confidence in me that you have in the
past, Mr. VanWyck said.
Elmer Wilkinson
Councillor 'Wilkinson made two
suggestions for the incoming council.
They were the better facilities for the
people leaving the rink. He said that
a fire there during a crowd such as
attended the Horse Show would be a
catastrophe. His other recommenda-
tion was to institute municipal gar-
bage collection which would be paid
through the general tax rate. He felt
that this service could be put into ef-
fect at not to great a cost. As chair-
man of the finance committee he did
not do much definite work, It entail-
ed checking accounts to see that they
were properly certified before pay-
ment. I expect to leave my name
before you for next year and if there
is an election solicit your co-opera-
tion and support.
Duncan Kennedy
The snow removal off the Main
Street cost $246 but the government
pays half of this so actual cost was
$123, The contract for the snow plow-
ing has beeniet to Gordon McGregor
at $2.50 per hour. We are saving now
on garbage collection and I favour
general collection for a cleaner and
healthier town, he declared. He advo-
cated a better seating arrangement at
the arena. There were a lot turned
away at the Horse Show. He told of
the town purchasing 200 eords of
wood (four foot). This will be cut
into 12-inch length and sold at $3.50
for soft and $4.00 for hard wood to
citizens who are unable to procure fuel
during the winter. He asked for sup-
port if there was an election as I will
leave my name on the list, he said,
Fred W. Spry
This is not the first time I have
been nominated Mr. Spry said, but I
have not stood. Now I am in a better
position to do so. It seems to me that
the next few years will be one that
will tax executives so we will need
strong men to solve the problems.
We should try and make the town the
kind of town it should be. The Horse
Show showed that this can be a real
town, and I am interested. Interested

A committee from government food
production branches is now closeted
and busy drfting Canada's farm pro-
gram for 1944, to be placed before a
joint meeting of Dominion and Pro-
vincial agricultural authorities which
will meet in the capital early in De-
ceinber. While there may be changes
in the quantities of some types of
food, little change is contemplated in
the overall picture. Maximum pro-
duction on the essential will be need
ed, of course. The Meat Board points
out Canada's total supply of'meats is
enough to fill requirements under our
rationing system.
* * *
The Bureau of Statistics gives us
some figures on farm living costs, the
index number rising from 121.2 for
April to 121.9 for August. Food
prices increased 1,8 points, fuel 1.3,
household equipment 0.3 and miscel-
laneous 0,7. Clothing prices were
down 0.3, health maintenance remain-
ed unchanged. While the eastern
regional farm living cost index rose
0.5 per cent, out west it went to 0.6.

Previously set at a maximum of 45
years, a new National Defence order
for those who volunteer for active
service with .the . Canadian army "will
be restricted to those who have attain-
ed their 18th .birthday, but not their-
38th birthday," providing hey measure
up to physical standards (considered
fit for fighting services). There are
some excepted circumstances, only
when a shortage exists in the type of
men having special trade or technical
qualifications.

The Postmaster General has issued
an explanation in connection'with mail
service to Canadians fighting in Sicily
and Italy. There were delays on mail
going by surface, due to three rea-
sons: security reasons in England,
waiting for convoy, length of journey.
One steamer carrying 800 bags of
mail for Canadians was damaged by
enemy action, delayed three weeks.
The average elapsed time, surface
mails, posted in Canada for delivery
in the U.K. is 28 days, and between
there and the Mediterranean theatre,
21 days. The present situation is 'bet-
ter. All surface letters are sent direct
tion of fluid milk for all Canada in
1943 is mOre than. 9 per cent, higher
than previous year. . . Experimental
farm note-Where climatic conditions
are favorable alfalfa thrives on soils
varying in texture from coarse sand
and gravel to heavy compact clays al-
trough the.best soil is a deep, porous
loam. It will not_do well on poorly
drained land or on soils notably acid.

National S.O.S. from Department of
Labour: Men who are not needed as
farm workers this winter are urgent-
ly needed in other essential industries
and can be placed. Here's the low-
down: Men will return to the farm
again when they are required there:
they will be paid regular wages for
whatever job they accept and trans-
portation will be paid if a distance
has to be travelled.

Fordwich and Gorrie use 350 horse

was corrected the amount being $53,-

pump he said that the system was one
of the most up-to-date systems.
The business of the commission is
well managed he said 250 horse power
generated locally and 750 horse power
is purchased. The hydro building on
