Murray Johnson Phone 6Z$ Wingham And Armstrong Vulcanizing & Service Station Bert Armstrong Phone 181 Winghath It This community is faded with the immediate task of organizing to SAVE FOOD materials urgently needed by our invading Armed Forces. There is not available at this moment one half the farm help required to save the abundant food crops ready for harvest on farms in this community.. Yet these crops must be saved to feed our invading armed forces—to whom food is as vitally important as ammunition. They can't win if they don't eat. The man power needed to save this food can be provided ONLY in one way; and that way is by the citizens of this community organizing to provide help for. its farmers; organizing the "spare hours" of its men in the cause of Saving Food for Victory. The organization has two parts: 1. Organizing a Farm Commando Brigade, with office and tele- phone, where information can be given and the enlistments of loyal citizens received and through which men may be placed On farms requiring help most urgently. 2. Enlisting every available man in the community who will pledge his evenings, week-ends; holidays, half-days,— every spare hour — during this critical harvesting period. The Department of Agriculture of the Ontario Government will provide organizers and will co-operate and assist at every point in the formation and operation of the Farm Commandos. The need is Urgent! It Requires Immediate Action! Unless such help is provided thousands of bushels of vitally-needed grain will go to waste in the fields in this district. • Don't Let Our Troops Down! Come on GINGHAM!

People talk about inflation— if you'll listen I'll explain What it is and how to halt it; It is' simple in the main. Once we dollars were much scarcer than the goods for which we went, So we bought more then than now for every one of us you spent. Now the tide has turned we're countless but in goods there's paucity, And, with buying power our yard- yardstick, Well I ask you, Where are we? Thus, the way to block Inflation, is to spend us predently, And convert us Into War Bonds, Where We really Ought to be. This :will leave in elrottlatIon only needed dollars, so Those who have us will be careful how we're spent and how we go. They will only buy the needed things to eat, and use and wear, And this policy leaves plenty for the others and to spare. Old Inflation's no Goliath; for my dollar friends and I Will maintain our present value if need dictates what YOU buy.
