" * THE CONFUSED HOG MARKET ' The farmers of Canada were re- quested to produce pork on a scale never *before reached in this eountry, anti they rose to the occasion. It was a tremendous production effort but was accomplished and the people of the I.Tited Kingdom were fed. This and other efforts on the part of our agricultural population were accomplished of which they can be justly proud. Then the quota is cut. Then the following statement was made by Hon. Gardiner at Re- gina "we would not be• justified in asking farmer's to continue to produce hogs to the level of last year, until the end of the war". Some definite assurance should be given the farmers that they will have a market for their products after the war so that they may be able to continue to produce With confidence during this struggle LEADERS HAD IMPORTANT TALKS During the past couple of weeks there has been two conferences of world leaders which will have a great bearing not only on the course of the war, but on the days and years that will follow the war, At Cairo Mr. Churchill, President Roosevelt, and Chiang Kai-Shek of China, had a five day meeting. They decided that Japan must be broken and her stolen Empire taken from her, This is great news, The Japanese will, so long as they are able, be a thorn in the flesh of the Eastern countries, If she is properly beaten during this struggle and her conquests wiped off the slate it will be a very difficult thing for her to rise again with sufficient strength to worry the other Eastern nations. The conference at Cairo had So planned so the hand-Writing is on the wall for the Japs, The other con- we finished the article by saying "We ference was the meeting of the "big owe much to our gallant men of the three', Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin air for their courage and skill Let in Iran.. This is the first time that us think deeply about it and forgot 'Stalin had conferred in person with it when hostilities cease". We should the other two great leaders. On the have said, "let us think deeply about it previous times that Churchill and and not forget it when hoStilities cease." The small word "not" made a tremendous difference and changed the meaning of the sentence entirely.

Every ‘4effort should be made to assist the farmer with his production efforts but we can not see how he can think his way out of the muddle when there is not a definite policy to guide Wm, * 0 0 THE COAL SITUATION Despite the fact that .there has been a great saving in coal up to now due to fw'ourable weather we are far from being out of the woods hi this district so far as the fuel situation is concern- ed. It is estimated that the saving to date has been ten per cent which is truly good news, One must re- nu..aber however that we have not as yet got into real Canadian white. weather. A spell of below zero weather has a disastrous effect on the coal bin or the wood pile. Doe not get careless with your supply of fuel because you have saved considerable over last year. Old man winter will strike with full force one of these days and although tire fuel situation is much improved it has not caught up with present defands by any means. * * A WORD MAKES A DIFFERENCE In our column of last week we ex- tolled the fine work of our airmen and WING TAIYT ADVANCE-TINT4S Winners of Awards Scholarships --- Mildred Fitzpatrick Provincial Scholarship; Beth Brydges Bill Galbraith, Dorothy Wade, Glet Wylie, winners of the Marion Whyte Scholarship in French.

I do so with a keen appreciation of the fact, that I have been chosen to represent the graduated class. As valedictorian it is my duty on behalf of the' class and myself, to -bid farewell to our high school days. Indeed this is not an easy task. It seems but a short time ago that we timidly entered those school doori. And now, all too soon, we have reach- ed the end of the happiest and most enriching chapter of our lives. The friendships which have grown out of those carefree years ..will not be easily broken. And •now with a few words I will endeavour to represent these classmates .and-friends, in the best way I see possible, To the student body I would like to say this, we are all working under the shadows of war, but brighter times certainly are ahead. These will doubtless make increasing demands upon is, the students .and young people of to-day. Our country will need wiser leadership than 'ever be- fore. From whence will that leader- ship come? It must be supplied great- ly from our school ranks. Therefore we should 'all see it as our duty to work and sacrifice in such,a way that we will be ready when the time comes. We are ,deeply indebted to you, our teachers,. We go hence with the fondest esteem for the wisdom, for- bearance, uniform justice, and kind- ness, always shown us by the entire staff. We realize that we were often hasty, and heedless ,of your feelings. But you have proven yourselves our true, friends. If we have given you offence we ask your forgiveness, and carry away with us a heartfelt grati- tude for all the many favours we have received at your hands. In speaking of memories of school, the person and advice of Mr. Bower are unforgetable. Now for a few moments I should like to Speak of my classmates. Al- though we were few our attributes were not belittled by small numbers. Of two of -our members we are espec- ially proud. They have answered the call of their country, one to the R.C. A.F. and one to the Royal Canadian Navy, Of the other four boys, one is. attending University, one is farming, a third is going to O.A.C, at Guelph, and the fourth, a back-woods school- teacher; Of the three girls, two are attending Stratford Normal School, and the third is going to University. But whatever be their profession, extend my best wishes for their future success; and have every confidence that they will uphold the honour of Wingham High School wherever they go, In closing I would like to speak a word of advice to the present students. Strive to do your best from day to day. Then you will he prepared for the overwhelming responsibilities with which you are confronted when, your high school days have been left be- hind. Go forth with strong hope and abiding faith that all will be well if you perform your duty faithfully. Never before has the need for good and faithful service been so great, Let us Meet this 'challenge, Let us go forth to germ May I in tortelusion leave with you the thoughts of the poet, Will It johnsfonY WitO expresses real service thus: SERVICE If you would get the most from life, We find it best in giving; For Happiness in Service lies, And not id' narrow living. Life is a patchwork thing at best, Made up of joy and 'sorrow; A kindly deed to-day may bring A burst of song to-morrow. So let us make the high resolve, With Service our endeavour, To banish thought of selfishness, And bring good-will forever. BELMORE The Red Cross quilting was held at the home of Mrs, Bumstead, Wednes- day afternoon with a good attendance. Miss Mary Darling is spending some time with Mrs. J. Darling and Missnes.Audrey Hunkin at George Lane's. The whooping cough is going its rounds, also severe colds, a number being confined to the house. The ladies main talk just now is, "where did you get anything to make a Xmas cake?" And of course the men is the Nomination, Auction sales and also pot holes, A slight disturbance was felt,in the vicinity recently when chief Edwin of Mildmay was called to the scene,- But We are sorry the culprits rnade•a get- away in time, THE WINGHAM HORSE slum They came from every town around, And brought a lovely steed; Was this to help the Navy League, And :stamp out 1-IiLlerls greed. John 'Hanna, M.P., was in the box, To open up the show, Mr. CruickslAnk did some broadcast- ing. For 'those who sat below. The High School girls cam on the scene, And parade up and down, Their uniform and breezy airs,. Is a credit to their ,town.. We were pleased to see the mayor,. From out the country town, He brought a tricky horse along, That just jumped up and down. Now for the lady drivers, With their pretty little cart, They gathered in the prizes, And did right from the start. But to make the audience laugh, Tom Currie took the cake, With his swift steed and bob-tail coat He some short cuts did make, Jack Fry is a clever man, To have around the town, Now listen, he was reared in Belmore That place of Much renown. Oh it was a grand show, But we felt a little chilly, Those men with a shawl around their feet, Of course they looked quite silly.
