Years of work have gone into Its preparation. The best of our young men are staking their lives on its success. - . We in Canada must support and strengthen this attack with all our effort.

If we concentrate on seeking, individually or jointly, higher prices, higher pay or higher profits, we shall be divert; ing our attention from the main task at this critical time. We shall also endanger the sta. batty of prices which we in Canada have achieved after great difficulties—a stability that is essential to efficiency and fairness in war, and to peacetime prosperity afterward. Our young men are fighting for a Canada and a world in which all men can have faith, hope and security. Each of them wants to come back to a job—or a farm—with a future.

The objective for P25,000,000, the balance to be obtain- ed from special names. Canada has oversubscribed its objective on every War Loan and should do so again. This cannot be accomplished however except by everyone doing their utmost, Plan to purchase 6th Victory Loan Bonds.

Shearer, who has been agricultural representative in Huron for sometime. Jim, as he is known, was showered with gifts from various organizations. It was a great tribute to a fine man, Huron is going to miss Jim Shearer and as we say this we are mindful that he has a worthy successor._ It is our belief that no man in this county has done as much for the county as a whole dur- ing these past few years. As an agri- cultural representative he was tops. His dealings with the farmers made new friends daily for bim and those with -whom he came in contact most closely had every confidence, not only in his ability but in the impartial man- ner with which he carried on. One could relate the many activities with Which he was connected but ft is fact that there were few worthwhile projects or activities. that did not have his active support. Jim has purchased farm in Oxford, We wish him evevy success for the folk in this community, * * NAZIS BECOMING DESPERATE There is a school of thought who feel that the end of the war, or at the near end, there will be an uprising of the people of 'Germany against their present leaders, The. Nazi leaders are not to be caught napping in this re- spect :however, as they have a very strong home force headed by the ruthless Himm,ler. Against such a revolt these Nazi leaders have con- verted residences into camouflaged. fortresses so that any who revolt may be quickly wiped out. A Swedish newspaperman expects that even this precaution will not protect the Nazi leaders but we can not count on this. but must carry on with full scale prep- arations so that Germany will be sub-. &led by our. forces when the oppor- tunity is at hand.

Garafraxa Hen Lays Big Egg The biggest egg we ever saw in this office was brought in by Bill Wilson, of West Garafraxa, on Tuesday.

Around the long way, it measured 93i, inches, and the short way it was 8 inches, Maybe those figures don't mean much to most readers, except by comparison.
