WE regret that thousands of applicants
have had to "line up" for telephone service.
Telephone equipment has been critically short
because this is a "communications" war. And
of course the armed forces, the government
and war industries still move automatically to
the head of the line; their needs come first,
Only as material becomes available for less
urgent needs can we take care of our waiting
list, and on a firsacometirsaserved basis.
We realize les no fun having to "stand in line"
this way. Applicants have been surprisingly
cheerful about it—a fact we deeply appreciate.
We just want them to know that we will be
every bit as glad as they when we can once
again meet every request for telephone
service—fully and promptly.

That isn't the part that cheers the

Of a man when he's all alone,
When you come to, camp twhere a

From, the folks far over the sea;
The feeling that stays through the-

Is "Someone remembers me."
Oh, a parcel from home just ,hits the

In a way you'll never know;
Till you've stood. in queue and you

And something within us dies,
As we turn from our place with a.

There's a lot of the -boy left in the

So it isn't the gifts that you solid;
It isn't the cost of razor blades

Monday evening with an attendance of '

Marshall was convenor for the evening.
Speculation in wheat .and other food
commodities should not be allowed be-
cause the farmer has all the work and
worry of production and very few
farmers have the money to speculate
with, Resumption of trading in the
grain exchange after the war would
not be to the advantage of the farmer
for the same reason that those with
capital would be the only ones to
benefit. Selling farm produce by con-
tract has had the advantage that farm-
ers know their is a market for their
produce. There was some discussion,
on the /question of set prices and there
has been times when live stock has
been held over at a loss on account
of the set price. Jam anti marmalade
are being donated by the Porttm for
the next Blood Clink at Wingham and

is to be held at Tom Nichols with

(Continued from page one)
In 1886 French settlers started
going north and east of Temiskaming
and in that year 'a great celebration
was held at Villa Marie which attract-
ed Indians from as far away as James
Bay. Over 400 Indian tents were set
up for the occasion. Villa Marie
proved a quaint place and the old
French songs were heard frequently
and the French handcrafts were much
in -evidence. lit 1896 'English settlers
came in froirt Renfrew by water.
Some settlers established the Town of
Haileybury named after their home
district in England. Later the rail-
way came through and in 1911 the
silver boom was in full swing. About
1920 the silver boom subsided and
gold was discovered. Mr. "Beecroft
told of the cordial relationships with
the peoples of the district and felt that
French Canadians bad proved great
colonists.
