ADAMS WINGHAM ONTARIO The Effect of the "HOURS OF WORK AND VACATIONS WITH PAY ACT 1944" ON BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IN ONTARIO ON JULY 1st, 1944, the "Hours of Work cmd Vacations With Pay Act, 1944" becomes effective in the Prcivince of Ontario. While it is the purpose of this Act to provide improved conditions for all workers employed in industry in this Province, it will be obvious that the provisions of the Act cannot be permitted, at this time, to interfere with the all-out capacity effort required in producing material for war. The Industry and Labour hoard, which will administer the Act, therefore, considers, in view of the present acute manpower shortage and the vital demands of war, that the application of the Act should be postponed and working conditions in force at present should not be arbitrarily changed. The Board therefore authorizes the continuance of Exist- ing Working Hours in all industries operating on priority War Material in the Province of Ontario. InduStries engaged in Agriculture, Horticulture, Fishing and the Produc- tion of Foods and Farm Products; Dairying Industries including cheese and butter; Firms engaged in the building and upkeep of roads, Con- struction, transportation, textiles and other undertakings which can be considered essential to the full maintenance of the war effort, shall be considered in the category of War Industries insofar as their present working hours are concerned. Preparation of the groundwork for the operation and application of the Act will go forward immediately but the Industry and Labour Board wishes it to be understood that these preparations will not be permitted to inter. fere in any way with existing working conditions in vital Industry as long' as the present Crisis exists.

FOREST FIRES We have never seen the statistics regarding the quantity of timber that has been destroyed by fire in Canada, There is one thing that is certain and that is, that the destruction by fire in our woodlands has been a great loss, This year so far forest fires have oc- curred in many places across the Do- minion and Ontario bad a share of these fires. Many forest fires are caused by carelessness and a thought- less moment may create a fire that will do millions of dollars in damage, It will not be long now until some from this community will be spending their vacation in the wilds of the prov- ince. It is up to them to do all they can to protect our forests. * * * * ONTARIO'S POPULATION 25,000,000? Speaking at Woodstock recently PremierGeorge Drew forecast a popu- lation of 25,000,000 for the Ontario of the future. He is of the belief that Ontario's vast resources can support a population of this size. There is no doubt but that Ontario would in many ways, in fact Canada also, if our popu- lation was much larger than at present. Many of our services would be on a much sounder basis if they were used by a much larger number of people. We do not •believe that such growth can take place without a great influx from other countries. In this matter great care must be exercised so that the lads who return from the battle• fields of the world will not be pushed aside and have to join the ranks of the unemployed. * * * FOR THE POST WAR ERA Ontario streams are not what they used to be. In the spring we now have a great flood of water and then the streams remain very low or dry up unless the weatherman provides an un- usual amount of moisture. To correct this condition and again have our streams the haven of the fisherman there is a necessity for much planning a great deal of work. Our streams should have the banks covered with trees and delaying dams at various places that are best suited for the pur- pose. Then when restocking takes place the fish have a home condition 1111111111101111111111111111111.1011110•111111111M on Absalom Street, west of the depot, A block of concrete, which was stand- ing on its edge, tipped over and 'fell on Mr. Karnrath, and it took the com- bined efforts of three men to remove it and release him.

Quick Change Artist At Kincardine Police are looking for a man who has victimized several district merch- ants, including some in Kincardine, through his alibity to talk fast and change money faster, but so 'far the smooth stranger has not been appre- hended. In one local store, he made a small purchase and tendered in pay- ment a $20 bill. After receiving the change he suddenly discovered he had enough loose change to pay for the purchase, but by the time the con- versation finished and the customer had received his $20 and the merchant the original change, there was a dis- crepancy of $10. — Kincardine News. Thieving Fox Discloses Nest During the past few weeks Mr. Dun- can M. Davidson, of Newton, has been finding several of his flock of laying hens lying dead in the pasture fields. He was unable to find any trace of the marauder until recently when a member of the family noticed a large red fox appear from the adjoining woods rush in among the flock and carry off one of the choicest. Calling on the 'aid of a couple of the neigh- bours they proceeded' to the woods to investigate and to their amazement they found in a hollow tree a nest of eight well grown foxes. They were able to secure seven, although no trace of the older ones could be found. However, the flock has not been mo- lested since. — Milverton Sun.
