Dear Ernest and Marjorie
It is with great pleasure that we
gather here tonight to offer our con-
gratulations, and to welcome Marjorie
to our community, On the occasion
.of your recent wedding, we ask you to
accept this gift, which bears with it,
our best wishes for a long and happy
wedded life,
Signed on behalf of the community,

They presented them with a beauti,
ful occasional arm-ehair with sewing
box to match. Mr, and Mrs. Beecroft
each thanked their neighbours for their
kindness and-thoughtfulness for the
gifts and for the pleasant evening
spent among them. The Wingham
Local Union No. 0 at Lloyd's, also
presented a beautiful round mirror to
the bride that evening,

1s.
Special arrangements hav6 been
made for the training and employment
of the handicapped through the pro-
gramme. Some remarkable instances
of rehabilitation can be found among
servicemen who have undergone ampu-
tations. Training and appliances have
enabled a man with part of his right
arm amputated to work as a draughts..
man, and a welder to continue in his
job although he lost one hand.
Five outstanding cases are on
record of men who, despite the loss
of both hands, have become well
adapted to life and .work. The first
man was a formei paper tester in a
large Canadian paper plant. He lost
both hands 'in a explostoir, His arti-
ficial limbs serve him ni his present
capacity as a paper inspeCtor in the
mills where he handles sheets of all
sizes, uses calipers and other fine
instruments, and -carries on his hobby,
carpentry. ' He can also unlock and
drive his own car, look after his own
furnace in the winter and dig his own
wartime garden in the summer.
A second who had been a machine
operator, also lost both hands in an
explosion. ' Today he is back with his
old firm, acting as a record clerk in.

FARMERS BENEFIT
BY THIS CONCESSION
Increased production of certain
items of farm machinery make it pos-
sible to remove the restriction on
Sales, the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board has announced. These items
are diamond harrow sections, flexible
harrow sections, spring tooth harrow
sections, cream separators, power
sheep shearing machines and animal
clippers, egg cleaners and brushes,
Thirty-five articles of farm equip-
ment are now free from rationing re-
strictions, including hand tools, hand
operated seeders and planters, whee-
barrows, one-furrow walking ploughs,
horse hoes, grape and berry hoes,
hand-operated cultivators and weeders,
scufflers, hay forks with slings and
attachments, pulpers, churns, band-
operated sprayers, hand-operated dust-
ers, knapsack sprayers, hand barrel
sprayers, metal well pumps, barrel and
cistern or pitcher pumps, wood well
pumps, pump jacks, cups and bowls
for watering equipment, incubators for
150 eggs or less, brooders, beekeepers'
supplies, electric fence controllers,
sickle knife grinders, tank heaters,
track laying type trackers, milk cooler
refrigeration units, irrigation and.
drainage equipment other than types
designed for use by individual farmers.
There are no restrictions on repairs
and spare parts for farm machinery.
which could be depended upon to get
everyone out of bed in a hurry! It
was not always good bacon, but it was
bacon and a change from the .ever-
present mushrooms and dried eggs
served in our London hotel. But the
supply was another thing. Frequently
the fourth person to enter the break-
fast room found that the supply of
bacon was already exhausted!
Breakfast was really one of the
tough meals. Porridge was available,
but there was no sugar and the milk
was about the blueness of an Okana-
gan sky. There was one lump of
I sugar for your tea or coffee and, as
I am not interested in sugar for my
beverage, I found a little relief for my
porridge by breaking my lump of su-
gar up into small pieces and scatter-
ing it over the porridge. But it did
not go very far! Then you had a
choice of mushrooms, or an ersatz
sausage-with no meat in it, but some-
thing which tasted like sawdust-or
dried eggs scrambled-and that is
really something. I did find some
people who said that when properly
prepared the dried eggs were not too
bad, but all Britons seem to be in
agreement that they must be prepared
in small quantities and in a private
home if they are to be eatable. I re-
member the look of the waiter one
noon when after looking over the
menu,, in a moment of dumbness I
ordered an omelet. His look told me
I had made a mistake, but I thought
I would carry on through the experi-
ence of a dried-egg omelet. Never
again. Getting back to the breakfast,
you finished up with the inevitable
roll and-perhaps-about.three-quart-
ers of a teaspoon of marmalade or
jam. There was butter - about as
much as would cover the nail of your
little finger and about as thick.
The food situation seemed to boil
down into this. There was plenty to
eat but it was very flat and monoton-
ous. To paraphrase Tennyson, "It is
a land where all things always taste
the same," Lack of seasoning' and
lack of sugar made a tremendous dif-
ference. Things that in peacetime are
considered delicacies soon became
nightmare. Take, for instance, the
mushrooms. And the pheasant, the
grouse, the guinea hen, the venison,
we ate at dinner. No more of those
please for me for many months. The
sweets were something wonderful to
look at but like Judy O'Grady and the
Colonel's lady they were all the same
under the skin.
Fruit, of course, was non-existent.
The best that can be said of the British
food situation, is that the diet is a
healthy one and the supply is ample..
But there is no pleasure in eating
there-even in the swank hotels. The,
average home has a pretty slim time
at mealtime, if my observation and in-
formation are correct. The best meals
we had were those in the army, navy
and air force• messes, where we found
the food generally very good indeed
and a wide variety of it.
During the trip, I lost ten pounds..
I suspect it was not because I did not,
have sufficient good food to eat, but
because there was no pastry, little but-
ter and little of those foods which in-
crease the waitline. Part of the rea-
son, too, was doubtless because during
the period in Britain there was little
time for relaxation. Any fat one put
on was quickly worked off!
Overheard in the breakfast room of •
a London Hotel, one waitress address-
ing another in a loud whisper which,
could be heard in every corner of the
room: "If he loves me as much as
he says he does, why should I have
to share him with sornebOdy else?"
Love affairs apparently meet the same
snags in wartime Britain as in Canada,
A Wing Commander from Toronto
one morning asked me if I would do
him 'a ,favor when I returned to Can-
ada. "Go into ,hurrays and order a
double order of griddle cakes and
maple syrup and eat them for me."
Travelling in Britain is an experi-
ence. The trains are ai 'Crowded as
they are here. There are very few-
diners and everyone packs their own
sandwiches and thermos bottles. If
you want a drink of water on the train
or a cup of tea at one of the shops,
you must have your own cup, as we
found out to our sorrow the first day
in Britain. Actually china is becom-
ing a problem. Seldom do you have.
a meal when all the pieces of china..

THE FOOD SITUATION
(By R. P. MacLean)
:We found , cheese everywhere in
Britain. And plenty of it.- It was
,availagle at almost every meal in hotels
and some of it was good and some of
it was not so good. Personally, I saw
more cheese in a week in Britain than
I had seen in British Columbia in two
months. As I like cheese I found it a
pleasant substitute for the innocuous
things that were served as "sweets" for
desserts. Cheese is rationed, in Bri-
tain; they tell me, but the ration is
generously interpreted by the grocer.

The picture above is a reproduction of a poster recently issued by the'
Dominion Department of Labour appealing for farm help during the winter
months. The services of Canadian farmers from coast to coast arc urgently
needed in other essential industries during the slack season. According to the
Department of Labour, essential industries requiring extra winter workers
include lumbering-logging and pulpwood and fuel wood cutting-base metal'
mines, coal mines, meat packing and cold storage, grain handling, railway
track maintenance, iron foundries and other high priority occupations, 'varying
