The sound of the fire engines tear-

awoke me as always, r had to run to
the window to see if the blaze was on
our street. I suppose there is in all
our minds a hold-over from the time
when we used to love to race to a fire
-just because it was a thrilling spect-
fkle.
Out on the farm, fire takes on much
more alarming proportions. After all,

Farm 'Women's Co-Operative
The thought of home-cooked farm
food causes the mouths of city people
to water, Home-made baked beans,
apple pies, chickens, fresh' vegetables,
sausage meat, preserves . well!
The 'women of Montgomery County,
Maryland, in the United States, have
been running a successful co-operative
business to sell just these, and other
things, When' they started 13 years
ago their income was $5,000 a year.
N ow they have a $275,000 a year busi-
ness, and it is still growing, The wo-
men have their market at Bethesda,
which is about a mile north of the Dis-
trict of Columbia line. The market
attracts shoppers from Washington
and suburbs, all eager to buy the delic-
ious home-cooked food.
The farm ladies recently made ,the
final payment on a $50,000 mortgage,
and they have used their own profits
to install new kitchen equipment, get
their children educated, and any num-
ber of other things.
The women take pride in maintain-
ing a high standard in the products
they sell, and all recipes are inspected
and any changes must be approved.
They started their project in a
vacant store on the main street of
Bethesda, and now they have their
own beautiful building.
Quite a success story isn't. it?
THE ROAD AHEAD
A Column For Service People
By William Stephenson
Sometimes in this column we go
along talking blithely of different as-
pects of veterans' rehabilitation as
though everybody knew exactly what
all the terms Mean. Then we're stop-
ped cold by someone asking "What is
re-establishment credit?" So here we
quit answering questions for a moment
and give you a brief list of some re-
hab. terms and their meanings, as
simply as we know how to say them.
Gratuities-a cash gift to help Can-
ada's veterans get back on their feet.
When a man is about to be discharged,
National Defence Headquarters
(NDHQ) figure out his basic gratuity
on the basis of $7.50 for each 30-day
period of qualifying service, plus 25c
for each of those days served overseas.
Seven days pay and allowances also go
to each man for every six months over-
seas. When the total gratuity is added
tip, they have a look at the pay check
he got while in the service, and then
they, divide the total into equal month-
ly checks so that each one is not more
than what he was getting when he was
discharged. For example, suppose a
man got $60 a month while in the
army, and his total gratuity came to
$480, they would probably pay him in
eight instalments of $60 each, the first
one corning about a month after he
was discharged, Gratuities are always
paid to the veteran himself, and are
never paid in a lump sum, If he is
killed or dies before payment is com-
pleted, the gratuity goes to his depend-
ents or, into his estate and thence to
his beneficiaries. NRMA personnel
receive gratuities only for overseas
service.
Rehabilitation Grant-a sum of
money equal to a month's pay and al-
lowance, which is given to a man when
he is discharged. This, like the grat-
tuities, is an outright gift.
Re-establishment Credit-not to be
confused with the rehabilitation grant.
The re-establishment credit is to help
veterans back into business, or to settle
them in a home. The amount of credit
available to a veteran is equal to his
basic gratuity, (see above). The term
"credit here may be misleading, be-
cause the veteran does not have to pay
the money back. The re-establishment
credit can be used for setting up in
business, paying off mortgages on a
house, buying furniture, paying gov-
ernment insurance premiums, or mak-
ing the down-payment on a house.
The amount of any benefits received
through training or the Veterans' Land
Act are charged against the Re-estab-
lishment credit.
Veterans' Land Act-usually called
VLA, an act passed in 1942 to help
qualified veterans to go back to the
land if they wish. VLA deal with two
types of land , settlement-full time,
and part-time. To get a full-time farm
a man must really know how to run a
farm. The part-time man can get a
small place on the edge of town, and
does not necessarily have to know how
to milk cows. This suburban place is
called a:
Small Holding-To obtain a small
holding, a veferan must have a steady
income besides other qualifications,
Commercial fishermen can also obtain
small holdings.
Citizens' Committee-an organiza-
tion of volunteers/set up in a town or
city to welcome service people home
and see that they get a square deal all
around. The people who make up the
committees give their time freely to
help veterans and their families get the
breaks.

line at Wartime Information Board,
Ottawa.)

tion with the Ontario Federation of

able, 15 cwt, truck, 30 cwt. truck, 3

It's In. The Bag
It almost takes a magician to know
what to do with all those odds and
ends of paper, envelopes and flattened
cartons that you know are needed in
the waste paper salvage but ,seem more
bother than they are worth to collect.
It's a paper shopping bag that does the
trick. Hang it in the kitchen where
it can conveniently catch those odd
pieces of paper. When the bag is full
simply fold the top and tie with string.
BELMORE
It looks as if the weather man does
favour some people. Mr. Fleming
Ballagh and Carl Douglas have splen-
did fields of wheat while farther on
much grain was destroyed.
Mrs. Wm. Abram was in ,London
on Thursday, to meet her son, Bill,
overseas arrival, in the evening a re-
union was held. John, wife and child-
ren, Gorrie, Mrs. Archie Hetherington,
(Alma), and family of near Harriston,
Margaret and Maxine of London, were
home. Bill looks as if he can still
compete with the Japanese.
Our girls have organized a soft ball
team and are in for some fast work.
The Neill men are setting up their
machinery in preparation for sawing
next week.
The young people of the Presbyter-
ian church held a weiner roast recently.
at Miss Mae Johnann's home and re-
port a jolly time.
Again we wish to correct an error,
we notice in Belmore correspondence
to the Gazette that Mr. Harvey Cope-,
land resides in the village. Harvey's
home is near Wroxeter. We were
never made acquainted with Mr. Nor-
man Gowdy, Nelson Gowdy lives at
Orangehill not in Belmore.
Mrs. Arthur Fitch opened her home
for the Missionary meeting on Wed-
nesday afternoon.
Miss Jeffray visited Friday with
Mrs. James Darling.
Mr. James Austin is spending a few
on a farm you're isolated. You can't
run to the phone and have a fire de-
partment racing to your home in the
matter of minutes.
That's why the word "fire" must
have an ominous meaning to farmers.
I notice that a recent study of farm
fire indicates that there are at least
13 common causes for fires in the rural
areas. Didn't somebody tell us 13 was
an unlucky number!
They are: chiinneys of substandard
construction; sparks from dirty chim-
neys; smoke pipes and stoves installed
without regard to radiation of heat;
seasonal grass and bush fires; spontan-
eous ignition of hay through dumping
badly cured hay; worn-out shingle
roofs, lighted lanterns; mis-use of elec-
trical equipment; threshing operations
with gasoline power; gasoline vehicles
stored in barns; matches and smoking
in out buildings; trespass by thieves
and lightning.
The recommendations for fire pre-
vention on the farm call for having a
roof ladder always at hand. It is also
suggested that the farmer keep a few
water buckets full and ready for use.
Also, it is a good idea to have a few
barrels of water on hand for instant
