THOSE JAPANESE The action of the Japanese toward bur prisoners of war as announced last week by Washington, London and 'Ottawa has astounded the world, The Japanese after all are only educated ;savages. Their history and back- ground is such that too much cannot be expected of them, This does not in the least excuse them and they must be. made pay for their actions toward prisoners. Their treatment of prison- ers shows conclusively what kind of people they are and should serve to stimulate' public opinion to such an extent that when days of peace come our-leaders will nbt be allowed to for- get that such things happened. Prem- ier King said this guilt will not be forgotten. He said that the Canadians Were apparently suffering mostly.from neglect but such was not the case with British prisoners. . It said of the British prisoners that thousands have died from "unspeakable savagery." Imagine a people of this type control- ling the East. Imagine a people of that mentality controlling the world. The Japanese must be taught a lesson. ,They must be made ,a weak power as they are not yet ready to take their place as a leading nation of the world. We must not underestimate their cun- ning or their strength, We must however resolve to beat them in this war and beat them properly * * * * ARGENTINE WAKES UP , Argentine has broken off diplomatic relations with Germany and Japan and these Axis powers have lost their last formal tie with the American contin- ents. For two years Argentine has resisted every effort to bring her into the fold with 20 other American re- publics. The reason for the sudden visited Trani in the bay of Mantre- dottla where he decorated ti' il and church dignitaries for courage in re- itisting German terrorism .during the 'Gerrnati octupation of the town. One of the first pictures made of Xing Victor tireinanuel since the artniStiee change is said to be the uncovering of an espionage ring that had its con- nection with the German and ,Tah- anese diplomats, it is said that when the full story is revealed that many of high society in Argentine will be mixed up in this bad business, When one plays with Germany or Japan it is a difficult thing to keep ones skirts clean, It took Argentine a long time to make sure of this but the case must have been a severe one to force that country to throw its neutrality over- board, b it .k . a NEWS of the DISTRICT Grand Valley Creamery Robbed On Monday evening the Grand Valley Creamery was victimized by burglars who employed the same technique as that followed in many such break-ins throughout 1943. A safe containing $658 in cash and over $4,000 in cheques and 'a quantity of bearer bonds was taken. The thieves gained entrance to the creamery by smashing a front door lock. They then rolled the 409-pound safe to the street and took it away without disturbing anyone. The safe was smashed open with tools stolen from the C.P.R. station at Grand Valley. It was then abandoned on the road leadineout to Highway No, 9, — Arthur Enterprise News, Lemons Grow At Chesley As, a novelty, Mr. and Mrs. Alf.

Some Egg Dave Hollingshead who farms on Highway 23 west of Palmerston, came into the office with an egg that was really a whopper. It was, we believe, the biggest henegg we have ever seen: Laid by a hybrid pullet, the egg weigh- ed six and a half ounces. We measur- ed the egg with a bit of cord and a ruler, and found that around one way the circumference was nine and a half inches. Seven and a half inches was the other dimension. To get a better picture of the size of the egg, hold your thumbs and index finger three and a half inches apart. That egg would just be held between them. — Palmerston Observer.

LIONS WILL SEND SMOKES OVERSEAS -(Continued from page one) of the Club. The large attendance necessitated a number of Lions eating behind a partition. When some of the songs were sung, a fine echo effect was obtained from behind the parti- tion. Tailtwister Gord Buchanan de- manded explanations from Lions Omar Haseigrove and Harley Craw.; ford on a recent trip, to Guelph when their curling was not up to par. Excuses were offered and some re- marks were made about the skip being off his game but fines were promptly paid. On checking over the Lions wearing their !buttons, the 'railtwister became confused and reported Lion Bill Galbraith was wearing a 100-year button but it proved on close examin- ation to be a 100% attendance button. Lions Otto Gallagher and Ron Rae led off with a duet number, "There'll Always be an England" with the Club joining in the chorus, Lion Jack Mc- Ribbon favored with two fine solos with Lion Harold Victor. Pym at the piano. , The Tailtwister produced a recent copy of the "Wingham Advance- Times" and demanded to know if Lion Ron Rae was the "Son" in the firm of D. Rae & Son. Lion Ron acknowledged he was "Son" and he was promptly charged with running down (according to the paper) his own products. Lion Ron denied the charge and claimed that Lions Wally Armstrong and Bill McCool should explain the situation, Lion Wilf. French was also drawn 'hto the con- troversy. Lion Wally Armstrong claimed that their work was in black and white and mistakes stuck right out. Mistakes by the dentists could be thrown into the ash can and doc- tors could bury their mistakes but the printer could not escape the penalty. Lion Wilf. French expressed appreci- ation that the paper had backed him up in his statements ,but on a vote of the Club he was found guilty of start- ing the whole matter and was fined. The matter of maintaining one child through the British Child !War Vic- thus' Fund was discussed and the re- quired amount of $120 was promptly voted. A donation of $15 was also Thurs,, February 3rd, 1944. Alsike and White Clover showed little reduction in germinating power during:, the first three years. Therefore, if the Seed i's ripe and kept in a dry place the 1942 «product will in some cases be likely superior to yields from the 1943 crop. In either case, !farmers are advised to clean —up all high quality seed of recommended varieties and offer any surplus far sale. Every bushel will be needed this year. FOOD INDUSTRY HAS WAR STAMP DRIVE Two Million Dollars Objective Beginning the first of February and continuing throughout the month, Canada's Food Industry is undertak- ing in co-operation with the National. War Finance .Committee, a drive to sell two million dollars in war savings stamps to the public.. With a slogan "Hasten Their Vic- torious Homecoming" more than 40,- 000 food dealers from coast to coast will combine their efforts to oversub- scribe the objective. Canadians will be able to purchase stamps not only from the grocer, but, from the milk- man, restaurant in which they eat or from any place where food is handled. "The main job that we have is to. give everyone the opportunity of pur- chasing war savings stamps," said. Mr. S. H. Yonng-, General Chairman of the Food Industry's drive. "Thousands of producers and distributors in centres large and small throughout the Do- minion supply food to three million families. A dollar a family• means three 'million dollars in war savings ' stamps or a 25c stamp per week per family." made to the Queen Alexandra Sani- tarium. Lion Chas.' Roberts reported on the possibility of setting up some supervised games and entertainment along Y.M.C.A. lines in town. It was agreed that the Y.M.CA. be contacted and their, plans for use in towns of this size be obtained. The meeting closed with the' usual song and the Lions' Roar. 1942 SEED STILL GOOD FOR SOWING Throughout some sections of On- tario many farmer's have fairly sub- stantial quantities of 1942 seed on hand. Due to the short crop of 1943 much grain produced the year prev- ious will likely be used for seed this coming crop 'season. Muoh of this seed will be very suitable for sowing but there seems to be some doubt on the part of farmers in connection'with germination ability. In this connection valuable experi- ments have been made by experimen- tal stations to determine the vitality of cereals, clovers, timothy and other seeds. These experiments provide ample proof that seed, when stored in' a dry place for various periods ,of time. satisfactorily retain their power ,of germination. „ Wheat' and barley retained their vitality almost unimpaired for five years after harvest. Oats showed little loss of vitality until after the ninth year. The germ of wheat was practically dead at the end of the fif- teenth ;year, but after the -same length of time oats gave fairly high germin- aion. This was probably due to the protection of th e oat hull. The vital- ity of timothy seed was well retained after the fourth year, while Red, Xing Victor trnmanuel of Italy with Italy shows,: The Italian Xing decorating Archbishop VraticeSco Pet- rottelli with the Silver Medal of Mili- tary Merit, Archbishop Petronelli offered his life in exchange for 250 Italian hostages taken by the 'Gera mans, because they were suspected Of helping the first British patrol to enter the town. i;)/ 7-1-Vosi; ' No. 31
