Explosion Frightened Horses
Boy Injured
Harold Wright, 13-year-old son of
Mn and Mrs. Albert Wright, had his
right leg broken in two places below
the knee and the bone shattered be-
tween the breaks and his left ankle
was also injured while he was assist-
ing with the work on the farm of his
uncle, Mr, Roy Smith, lot 7, Concess-
ion 8, West Luther. The young lad
was leading one of the horses from the
barn on a halter, when the cream
separator exploded while it was in op-
eration. The terrific noise of the ex-
plosion made the horse rear' up and
threw him to the ground where the
animal trampled on his leg and ankle.

21 Years of Perfect Attendance
A. W. Blowes, Mitchell's town clerk,
is having his first real holiday in the
twenty-one years he has served in this
capacity. That is to say that the town
is providing a supply for his duties
during his absence. When Mr, Blow-
es has gone to camp, as required in
recent years, his wife has looked after
the office, as well as during the time
when he was engaged in selling Vic-
tory Bonds during several campaigns.
At that he always returns to town for
council meetings and will do so next
week, a record which he has estab-
lished down through these 21 years.
Not one such meeting has been missed
since July, 1924. — Mitchell Advocate.
Shortage of Teachers in Bruce

XING AND PRESIDENT MET
History was made at Plymouth,
England, Thursday when King George
and President Truman met and ex-
:charged greetings. The King had
President Truman as his dinner guest
aboard the cruiser Renown and the
King later went aboard the United
States cruiser Augusta to inspect a
ward of honour. This is the first
time that a president has bee in
England since President Wilson went
there following the last war. It is
an important thing, not only for Bri-
tain and the United States, but for the
world in general that the friendship
of these two countries be kept intact.
The people of the United States have
-supported the war in great measure
with great sacrifice and so have
-the British, The entry of the United
States in the war when the British
Empire stood alone against Germany
was appreciated by all involved in the
struggle. Our relationship with the
'United States has grown closer &ming
'these war years and it is just as im-
portant for it to remain so during the
:years of peace.

STARLINGS A NUISANCE
Efforts have been made in many
'localities to extinguish the starlings,
but it is almost an impossible task
-unless action is taken on a very large
-scale. In ten days the three starling
shoots have been held under the aus-
pices of the Kitchener and Waterloo
police and 1700 of these pests were
destroyed. Efforts •have been made to
-electrocute them and to trap them but
each year it seems they are as plenti-
ful or more so than ever, They clo
harm. and , as they travel in
flocks they spoil many trees where
they roost. These birds are now a
major problem and every effort should
be made to exterminate them. We
know of one beautiful woods that was
practically destroyed by these teeth-
ed pests.
BLACK MARKET'S
It is said that the black markets of
Western Ontario will be the target of
the Royal Mounted Police and the
wartime Prices and Trade Board. The
great enemy of price control is the
operations of black markets. Few we
imagine in this section would have any
idea that the operation of the black
market in Western Ontario were of
such proportions to require an investi-
gation. It is a difficult thing for the
government and the Wartime Prices
and Trade Board to keep prices within
the control limits and anyone who- pur-
chases on the black market is helping
to put the skids under present price
levels.

Suicide Verdict in Arthur Death
Dr. E. C. McFarlane, Arthur phys-

death certificate and attributed her
death to indigestion and cardiac fail-
ure as a means to "hush up" the fact
that she was suicide. The doctor ad-
mitted this to a coroner's jury at Ar-
thur during an investigation into the
death of Mrs. McFarlane. The jury
found that she died of self-administer-
ed strychnine and. said: that the coron-
er, Dr. 5, IC Blair,, was lax in his
duties for not holding an autopsy of
the woman's. body befbre releasing it

cate was not in, proper. form in: that it

Re-establishment Pacts
Its nice to have the facts straight on
any subject, and when it comes to the
re-establishment of the men and wo-
men who have served their country in
uniform in the difficult days ahead ..
well, its doubly important that we get
things straight.
And that is the reason that the Re-
habilitation Information Committee,
with the assistance of the Wartime
Information Board, is putting such
stress on booklets dealing with the
question of re-establishment
The first of these booklets, "The
Common-sense of Re-establishment,"
lately of the press is yours for the ask-
ing. A copy may be obtained by writ-
ing to the Distribution Section, War,'
time Information Beard, Ottawa.
"The. Common-sense of Re-estab-
lishment" is just what its title implies
—a straightforward, easy-to-read sum-
mary of rehabilitation. Its 88 pages
contain pretty well everything the ord-
inary cititen needs to know about the
subject. Adding to ifs appeal are
bright, witty illustrations that serve to
point up the message the printed word
conveys.
* * *
A Quick Glance
Let's take a quick glance through
the booklet. It takes you, step-by-step
through the re-establishment machin-
ery. Having explained this, the book-
let goes on to tell about "Getting the
Old Job Back," Getting a New Job,"
educational grants, vocational training,
land settlement grants, commercial
fishing, owning your own home, estab-
lishing a small business, getting tools
or equipment or working capital, gov-
ernment insurance . . in fact, all the
phases of rehabilitation.

India's Contribution
Glancing through another booklet,
"India at War," issued by the British
Information Services, I learned a good
many things about India's war effort.
I found out, for instance, that the pre-
war strength .of the Indian army was
,182,000, and today it is more than
2,000,000. FOr three and one-half
years recruitment has been at the rate
Of 50;000 to 60,000 a month, The per-
sonnel of the Royal Indian Navy has
:increased' from 1,200 officers and men
'at the time, of the outbreak of war to
.nearly 30,000 by the beginning of 1944.
`The Indian Air Force has also made
wonderful advances. The booklet also
details India's industrial effort, which
is also surprising.
India has contributed £29,000,000
worth of reciprocal aid to the United
States. India is the only source of
jute supply to the United States and is
a principal supplier of mica. Other
important Indian materials exported
arc manganese, shellac, talc, beryl and
kyanite.
Safer Travelling With Radar
Radar, which has been a priceless
wartime asset, bids fair to bring a
greater measure of safety into peace-
time living. Peacetime uses for radar
may prevent airplanes from crashing
into mountain sides, reduce shipwrecks
and collisions, avert many tragic rail-
way accidents, and eventually render
lighthouses unnecessary.
It is only recently that the veil of
secrecy was torn from radar, the
"magic eye" which -locates moving
targets despite fog, cloud, darkness or
distance. Canada has played an out-
standing part in making this weapon
for Allied nations, For instance, the
government-owned Re-search Enter-
prises Limited produced radar and
optical instruments valued at more
than $2,000,000.
The way radar works may be be-
yond the understanding of us laymen.
But we do know that it played an im-
portant role in the Battle of Britain; in
bottling up the Italian. Navy; in opera-
tions in Italy, Normandy, the Phillip-
pines and Iwo lima.
U.S. Boosts Budget
Washington, — A revised federal
bcdget of $85,000,000,000 was issued
on the assumption the war in the
Pacific will roar on until next summer
or longer. Spending by the United
States Government now is forecast at
$85,000,000,000 in the fiscal year 1946,
which began a month ago. A record-
breaking $100,000,000,000 was spent in
fiscal 1945.
