Wingham and District Quota Is $6,500.
An Must Give At Least As Much
As Last Ypar To Reach The
Objective
Our men on the battlefront are
fighting down that last bitter mile that
leads to. Victory. It is a costly mile
„ hard fought .. . every inch of the
way. They need to know, beyond all
doubt, that we are right in there
"pitching'” with them . , and we 4.E
It has been our privilege since the
beginning of ware to ease their lot,
through the Canadian Red Cross, We
have given the money—Red Cross has
dispensed it and placed the supplies
and comforts in the waiting hands of
those whose need was—and still is—
great! We are again in Wingham Red
Cross District asked for $6,500, We
did it before and we can do it again!
As our men advance to liberate
countries long crushed by the Nazis,
they find women and children destitute
--old people homeless — terribly in
need of the help we CAN and WILL
GIVE! And, as they free these coun-
tries, they are often cruelly wounded
themselves and 'in immediate need of
blood serum to save their very lives.
Some are taken prisoner . . , Then
their need is for food. Food packed
by faithful volunteers in our six hum-
ming Red Cross 'plants. Since the be-
ginning of the war some 13,460,000
such food parcels have gone out to
prisoners in enemy territory. The re-
patriated tell us that they are alive
because of this vital 'lifeline!" Medi-
cines, clothing, bedding, sporting goods
and musical instruments have all gone
out to our prisoners of war.
We must not fail these men now!
Thirty-nine million articles of hos-
pital and medical supplies, field com-
forts and relief clothing have already
been shipped overseas. And in this
year of 1945 we know beyond the
shadow of a doubt that Millions more
MUST be made ready, for on this
merciful relief hinge many lives.
The peacetime requirements of Red
Cross must be continued. There are
Lodges to be built at our military
hospitals, Junior Red Cross work for
health and good citizenship, Nutrition,
Nursing and First Aid . . . these are
services long familiar to Canadians.
It 'is for all these vital needs that
Canadian Red Cross must ask the
people of Canada for ten million dol-
lars NOW. Ten million dollars to
feed the hungry, to bind up the
wounds of our fighting men, to clothe
the homeless and destitute, who have
become so vast a suffering legion
under enemy domination, Last year
our appeal was over-subscribed. The
need is greater, now. Let's go "over
the top" — and THEN SOME!

The following is a portion of an
article regarding Dr, J. R. Weir, son
-of Mr, and Mrs. John Weir of Turn-
berry, which appeared in the February
issue of the 0,A.C. Review. We will
not elaborate on the article as it gives
a very good account of this man of
science,
COLLEG PERSONALITIES
(O.A.C. Review)
Dr. J. R. Weir was 'born in Wing-
ham, Ontario, just' about as long ago
as it takes a man to fashion a Ph,D,
degree out of a pair of safety pins.
He completed his !high school educa-
tion at, Wingham High School and en-
rolled in the Stratford Normal School
in 1931. The following year .he gradu-
ated from that institution in possession
of a Teacher's Certificate. The same
year Bob Weir started as a Freshman
at O.A.C., entering the class of '36.
During his four years, his academic
interests were devoted to the study of
field crops. He specialized in Field
Husbandry and, spent his summers as
Student Assistant at the Cereal Divis-
ion, Central Experimental Farm, Ot-
tawa, Bob was an active member of
the Agronomy Club. His fellow stu-
dents recognized his interests and
ability by electing him President of
this club, in his graduating year.
Not content with a B.S.A„ he de-
cided to continue his studies and so
accepted a position as graduate assist-
ant at the University of Alberta, Ed-
monton, in the Department of Field
Crops in Agronomy and Plant Gen-
etics, graduating in 1938 with a M.Sc.
degree.
Being a man of science, Mr. Weir was
not content with his achievements. In
September, 1938, he began work to-
wards a degree, of Doctor of Philos-
ophy at the University of Minnesota,
Minneapolis. He elected a major in
Plant Breeding' and a minor in Plant
Physiology. During his stay at the
University he worked as a research
assistant in the Department of Agron-
om'y and Plant Genetics on a special
project "Cylogenetics, of Polyploidy in
Wheat."
During a part of the summer of
1940, Bob worked in the Dominion
Rust Research Laboratories in Win-
nipeg. However, he left in the fall
to accept a 'position as lecturer in the
Department of Field Husbandry at our,
college. Dr. Weir is now Assistant
Professor in that department, in charge
of forage crop breeding and produc-
tion, and genetics.
Bob has not confined his great en-
ergy to academics--he is fond of ten-
nis and' golfing in the summer and
curling in the winter, being a member
of the Guelph Curling Club as well as
the WaverelY Masonic Lodge. He is
past President of the Guelph local of
the Canadian Society of 'Technical
Agriculturalists. N. C. Oes Held Dance
The-attendance at the dance held in
the armouries by the N.C.O's of the
99th battery on Friday night was not
very largely attended. A very enjoy-
able time was had by these present.
Carruthers orchestra furnished the
music.

MARCH CAME IN

If Old Adage Holds True There Are
Storms Ahead
The month of March came in like
a lamb. It 'was a wonderful day that
first day of March, and if the old say-
Mg is right it will go out like a lion.
So do not let these milder days fool
you as there are storms ahead--,that
is if things go according to that old
adage.
We have had some milder weather
since the .first, of March and after the
steady cold of January and February
they were welcome indeed. The first
clay predicted a cold, blustery exit for
the month, - but, now that signs of
spring keep turning up daily one longs
for' those fine days that cause the grass
to turn green and the trees to leaf.
Spring is a wonderful season.
