The training of pilots at No. 9 S.F.T.S., Centrtdie, has been concluded and in its place a new Commando eourse for airkrce personnel, now destined for the Pacific, is under way. Practically all of the officers, who acted as ite- stractore for the pilots in training, have been posted elsewhere and only a few of the ground crew, which num- bered several hundred, have been kept on the station. Many of them, who have made their homes in Exeter, have been posted out the last few weeks and there is a noticeable change in the number of people upon the streets and in the stares of town, — Exeter Times Advocate.

McIntyre has purchased the furniture business and neral service of the W. A. Britton By Harry J. Boyle I was reading in a newspaper the other day about an exhibition of post- war farm homes. The fellow writing this article was complaining about the designs, It seems as if these city chaps who were designing the houses had overlooked one thing. While they concentrated on sun houses, heated and lighted by the sun and a lot of other new ideas, they completely over- looked the cellar. I agree with the writer, A farm home just isn't complete without a cellar. In this wonderful, new world that the advertisements tell us about we may live by turning steitches that regulate the temperature and all that . . but we must have cellars. A cellar is just about the most important thing in the world. On these hot days of summer, the cool sanctuary of a cellar is something a person can really live for. Go down the cellar ateps and feel that dampish cool air and the clean, restful smell of the earth that seems to cling around a cellar. When, the sun gets a bit too much for you, there's nothing like an excuse to poke around and tinker with something that needs repairing in the cellar. The cellar here at Lazy Meadows has always been a good place. The rows of preserve jars with the fruit and pickles and jam are always worth looking at. In the other corner we have potatoes either the ones to do for the early part of the winter that are supplemented by ones taken t of the pit in very early spring - . - boxes of apples and sand in a barrel with carrots stowed away. Even the pile -of beach and maple emote stored at one end of the cellar for use in the furnace seems to give a certain touch of something to the place. It is another smell . . that clean good smell of seasoned wood. and pick it up. We have nectar of the gods . . . a small barrel of apple cider that gets a nip as the months go by, The walls are gleaming white at the moment with a fresh coat of whitewash. That adds a clean look and a clean smell to the whole place. Grandmother used to have a wond- erful cellar at her place. In a big crock under the cellar steps she had pickles the kind with a nippy tang of vinegar and they had a brittleness about them that was really good. Grandpa was a great man for experi- mentation with cider and various con- coctions made_ from dandelions or 'chokecherries andeven rhubarb. Some of it turned out to have about the wallop of that high test gasoline they use in airplanes, Those were the good experiments and grandpa was always flying high when an experiment turned out well: farm; house cellar is, a. place of ealter coolness. lit. summertime. In wintertime when• the whale are howl- ing outside it's a good place to visit. The, temperature, is never too warm but it gives you: a comforting feeling to look at the food and provisions stoned' around: Yee, we must not try ro .abolish farm cellars. ALPS DISTRICT The regular monthly rneeting of the Culross-Alps farm radio forum was 'held at Ross McRae's on June 25th., with the members of the forum of S. 'S. 5, Culross as guests. Dr. Murray McLennan, V. S., of Wingham, was guest speaker, Dr. McLennan discus- sed the life history and habits and the harm done by the warble fly. In some district farmers are trying to combat this pest and with some succeSs. But until the Government makes erad- ication of the warble fly compulsory very little can be done. Symptoms of hang's disease were discussed by the speaker who stated that vaccina- tion of all heifer calves by the age of S months is the only cure for this dis- ease.

Both of these wars were fought for the same purpose, to end wars. The First Great War failed in its objec- tive as Germany was left with a set up that in :a 'eery short time was again preparing for world cangaeet. Tine should not happen again and it may not as the German people this time have felt the weight of war and have suffered as they never have before. Then the San Francisco conference, which dosed last week has formulated ed a charter which it is hoped will prevent such struggles in the days that lie ahead.
