SWAT THAT FLY The common housefly is one of the greatest enemies of public health. It is well-known. that dysentery, infantile diarrhoea, typhoid, and, tuberculosis have been carried by flies and it has been demonstrated that flies may be possible spreaders of infantile paraly- sis, They breed in filth, they feed on filth, awl pass directly from the foul- est of filth to human food, carrying bacteria and particles of decomposing matter on their hairy bodies and sticky feet and mouths. Yet they are toler- ated in some homes and some shops offering human food and fruits for sale. The most effective method of com- bating the house fly is to destroy its breeding places. This is best done through community action involving proper care and disposal of manure, garbage and other waste materials, It is especially important to protect food- stuffs from contamination by flies. Doors and windows should be properly Will Share In Profits Of The Huron County Flying Training School Limited The newly-formed County of Huron Flying Club, which is destined t9 prof mote civil aviation in Huron County after the war, is in receipt of its Federal charter. The provisional directors are W. L. Whyte, of Sea- forth; Frank Fingland, K.C., of 'Clin- ton; G, L. Parsons, of Goderich; Hugh Hill,, of Colborne Township and Wil- mot Haacke, of Goderich Township. All of these men had a great deal to do with the establishment of Sky Har- bor as a civilian training airport :be- fore the war and also with its ultimate inclusion as a training' centre of the Commonwealth' Plan, This announce- ment is significant because of the im- pending closing of the airport as far as flying operations are concerned, The County of Huron Flying Club is to share with the Huron County Flying Training School Limited, which is controlled by the Kitchener- Waterloo Flying Club, in the -more than $100;000 profits made during the war, on a 49-51 per cent basis. Cash profits only up to $5,000 per year are allowed; however. The balance must be taken in equipment. Thus the County of Huron Flying Club will suit in no further parcels being distrie butecl, until each one was personally censored; and the free delivery of *se parcels depends upon the fulfillment of their obligation that nothing of the sort wilt be put in, During the last war the Germans found that cigarette papers were being used for the purpose of sending notes to prisoners of war, with the result that all parcels were opened and the cigarette papers taken from them. They were never able to resume ship-. ping. ASHFIELD The weather is more favorable now for haying, the farmers are all busy at it. The rains were very welcome for the spring grain and gardens. Mrs. Ramage from the West, is visiting with her cousins, Mr. john Campbell and Mr. Campbell; near Bel- fast and their families.

The best measure of tire value is still the maker's name! r. • In the happy days when you bought tires without restriction, you had one infallible measure of true tire worth . . the maker's name: If you were like the majority of motorists, that name was Goodyear. Today, a few unthinking folks say "Synthetic rubber will make all tires the same." • That is far from the truth! To believe it is to ignore the fact that in prewar days, tires varied greatly in quality . . yet all makers used the same kind of rubber: , You'll understand why this happened when you remember that TIRES ARE NOT "MADE OF RUBBER." There's rubber in them, of course, but equally important in their construction are cotton, steel, carbon black and a dozen or more chemical compounds. Each one of these "ingredients"! must be of top quality, and used in the right proportions, to produce a tire of high performance. Rubber by itself (either synthetic or natural) will not make a satisfactory tire. Prewar tires varied in quality, too, according to the amount of knowledge, skill and experi- ence possessed by the maker. The advent of synthetic rubber does not alter that fact," Actually; the successful use of synthetic rubber demands the full use of ALL PREVIOUS TIRE-BUILDING ABILITY. . AND MORE. Therefore; when your turn comes to buy a new tire, remember that while rubber, to some degree, may be "standardized," quality is not: Now, as always, "More people ride on Goodyear tires than on any other kind"—bes. cause motorists know that the best measure of tire value ... is still the maker's name. - FAMILY ALLOWANCES TO START NEXT YEAR All Children Under 16 Will Draw Benefits In Plan A few detailS of the Government's proposed plans, for the payment of family allowances were revealed in a brief resolution placed on the 'Com- mons order paper by Prime Minister King. The resolution, which will• be fol- lowed by a bill authorizing •payment of the allowances, revealed for the first time the scale on which the Government proposed to make the payments. The scale would be as fol- lows: 1. $5 per month for a child less than six years old. /2. $6 per month for a child six or more years old and less than 10 years. 3. $7 per, month for a child 10 or more years old' but less than 13. 4. $8 per month 13 or more years old but less than 16. Starts July, 1945 The allowances, effective July 1, 1.945, would be paid in respect of each child' in Canada under 1.6 years of age. The rates in the various age groups would be reduced by $1 a month in yes-b941/ Oct Eo 'have working capital and a plant at : Sky Harbor to commence operations after the war. The • establishment of, landing fields in the main centres of .population in the county IS one of its. aims, John R. Douglas, manager. of .Sky Harbor during its nearly four years of successful operation for military pur- poses, has just purchased the residence of the late Dr, J. B, Whitely, on St, George's Crescent, and 'with his wife and family will become permanent residents of Goderich, For the dura-• Lion, however, as Mr, Douglas pointed. out, his occupaticro and whereabouts are subject to the wishes of Selective Service, • Meanwhile reductions in both air and civilian personnel are being made every week and it is expected that the last. of the Fleet Air Arm student pilots will have complete their flying- hours quota several days before the. closing ,deadline, ' July 14. - The investment at Sky Harbor is placed at about $2,500,06,0, More than that amount has been distributed in salaries and wages during its operation. Its. closing is taken in business circles as inevitable. The project has been a wonderful success from every angle and marks an outstanding page in both the town's and county's history. BAN ON NOTES IN RED CROSS SOCKS Recently a news item appeared in'a daily paper about a woman in Picton receiving thanks from two British pri- soners of war in 'Germany for the socks she had sent them. The woman had inserted a note in the toe of the socks. The Canadian Red Cross urges that this should not be done, as it under solemn obligation to see that no notes or communications pass to prisoners of war with food parcels, next-of-kin parcels or through supplies shipped in bulk to camps. If a note were found in any of those parcels it might re- Dr. Vokes In Hospital Dr, H. A, S.

Broke Up Jehovah, Witness Meeting A meeting being held here by a group claimed to be Jehovah Witness- es, was abruptly brought to a close upon the insistence of a number of village residents. The meeting was being held in the building adjoining the Purina Shop, with about a dozen persons in attendance. Quite a crowd gathered outside the building and as the evening wore on it was finally de cided to "break-up" the meeting, This Was done in an orderly manner, anti the group after some quiet protesting, took to their cars and left town.

Canadian Red Cross packing plant in Toronto, the first Monday in June. The historic pareel was taken off the line by Mrs. Ross Jamieson, convenor of the Overseas • Nurses Group, and given to Mrs. Nor- man C. Urquhart, chairman of the Canadian Red Cross National Execu- tive Committee, who presented it to Mrs. Merritt, wife of Lt. Col. Merritt, V.C., as a representative of the wives of all Canadian prisoners of war. Can- adian prisoners of war are in good physical health because they have good food made possible by these Red Cross parcels, General LaFleche, Minister of National War Services, who was representing the Dominion Government said. At present the so- ciety is packing 100,000 parcels week- ly in five plants. By the setting up of more depots this is expected to be increased to 170,000 and possibly 190,- 000 weekly. Each Canadian prisoner receives one parcel weekly and prison- ers of the Allied countries will receive one monthly from here. * * * * BUZZ BOMBS Nazi flying bombs are newest im- plements of destruction in this great struggle for freedom of men. These pilotless planes were sent over South- ern England shortly after the invasion. That they are causing casualties and much damage is not denied by the authorities, but they state that these flying bombs are not affecting the war effort to any great extent. The Ger- mans must be convinced that our boys are better airmen than theirs and so they are trying to retaliate for the great efforts of our fliers by sending over robot planes. They also are of the opinion that the British would crack when they used this new meth- od. How little they understand the folk of the United Kingdom. These people stood up under the Blitz and they are again showing their metal in the face of this new threat. INTERESTING CLIPS OF DISTRICT NEWS. 1.
