Celebrated 92nd Birthday Bentinck Township's Grand Old Man, Mr. William Willis, Sr., and a representative of a fine old Bentinck pioneer family, celebrated his ninety- second birthday on Tuesday, August TO THE CANADIAN PUBLIC WE SAY URING the war, so happily :ended, the Canadian National Railways, as Canada's greatest transportation system, had a gigantic task to do. Our ability to fulfill this duty to the credit and satisfaction of the Nation is due, not only to the skill, devotion and zeal of those who are our workers, but in large measure to the Canadian Public who, by their generous responses to appeals for help and their uncomplaining acceptances of restrictions and controls, lightened our burden. We wish to thank the Canadian Public sincerely for their help — the millions of passengers who used our trains and steamships, the shippers of freight and express, the guests in our hotels, the patrons of our telegraph and other services, 'and the unnumbered citizens who refrained from travelling needlessly as their contribution to the common cause. The surrender of the last enemy has ended the lighting but it has not ended the war job of.the Canadian National Railways. The men and women in the Services have to be brought home without delay and for that purpose we shall continue to employ all our avftilable passenger equipment. Millions of tons of materials must be transported for industrial reconversion. So in saying "Thank You" we express the hope that in carrying out these and other extensions of our war job, we may continue to enjoy the undero standing of the Canadian Public.

CHARTER MAKES PROGRESS When the big conference was one at San Francisco the a.11ied world was al keyed 'up and then heaved a sigh o• 3 elief when the cenferertoe eame to a :satisfactory teneclusion„ All that rt- Inained after that was the aPPv'val ttf the rations governments concerned. The env:nerd of the rnited States. led the way and very oniehly ratified, the charter, This was folls-oved by. others and last week Great Britain pet, ler seal of approval on this measure of world safety. Since the great con- ference was held in the Golden Gate city there has been used the atomic bomb, the power of which has stuer.ed. the world. Only two of these bombs were unleashed byte Allies and they. Were dropped on Hiroshima and gasaki. As a result of these bombs, exploding 48:0,040 were killed, injur- ed or made homeless. This has set a new problem for the world and when,. the members of parliament in Britain were discussing the charter many thought that something should be writ- ten into this instrument of peace re- garding this new and t-errifying Weapon. a a a a MANY CONTROLS REMAIN During the war we have heard a greet deal about inflation, or the forts to keep it in check. The govern- meet have during the war years, ire- stituted certain laws and restrictions in an effort to avoid this Sanger, It is generally conceded that their efforts have to a marked degree been a Si1 vosi,.. There are many however, who are of the opinion that now that the war is over the lid would be lifted. This is not the case hoverer. The 'Minister of Finance, speaking on Fri- day night said "we are on the last lap in our national effort to keep stability Yn ottr prices and incomes and in our 'economic system generally and avoid the chaos which has usually been the aftermath of war; but Ive cannot 3 elax our effort .entil we have reached the :oar, Mr, Gordon, chairman the Wartime Prices and Trade Beard Said that in the last 1.8 morehs, the -.number of production .restctions bad been reduced from 'MD to 64. And,. generally speaking those that remain encotirage the production of ics,senti Civilian goods". The job as they see it is to keep prices within bounds and produce the necessary goods. • a * * ' 'The Chief Constables Association of Canada have stn,gested that a post-war riatioriowide speed leisit of 40 miles per bout be adopted.

Gets Blood Donor Service Pin Miss Josephine Woodcock, Blyth, was honored Wednesday afternoon when Mrs, Greer, president of Wing- ham blood donors clinic, drove to her home and on behalf of the clinic pre- sented her with a blood donors' service pin, in recognition of the service she has rendered the clinic during the past two years by untiring efforts to have donors attend the clinic. Miss Wood- cock has given 11 donations, her last one being Wednesday morning at the final clinic. She has been president of the local Red Cross since it was org- anized in 1939. Rooster and Kittens Friends There have been many odd friend- ships formed among hostile members of the animal and bird kingdoms but at the Walter Rose Poultry Farm you may see, any day, what, at least to us, is a strange and rare sight — a partly grown white leghorn rooster who has chosen for his friends seven kittens who belong on the farm. The rooster has entirely forsaken the other fowl. lie lives, eats and sleeps with the kit- tens. It ;nest be rather disconcerting to call "kitty, kitty, kitty," and have a rooster the first one to come run- ning to answer to the kittie's mealtime call—for that is what happens.—Brun- sell Post, Burglaries at Alton and Caledon Burglars visited Alton and Caledon villages Monday night. At Alton they broke into Harry .Beer's place of busi- ness and ,Everton Barber's service sta- tion, At Caledon the Township Hall and the Royal Bank premises were entered, Fortunately the marauders had a poor night as they failed to get any money or anything else of mater- ial value..

Blaze Destroyed Clifford Stable Fire of unknown origin destroyed the barn on the property of Jacob Fuchs, Clifford, together with its contents which included furniture, building supplies and a number of plumbing fixtures. The fire was dis- covered at the rear of the building, and spread so rapidly it could not be brought under control. A volunteer bucket brigade worked hard to save the house and a neighboring dwelling. Another barn across the road caught fire several times and had a number of holes burned in the roof, but the damage was not extensive. this country of zero winter weath- the lifting of restrictions on the use anti-freeze is most welcome, If es were available, now that gas i rationed, it seems like pre-war TURNBERRY COUNCIL Gravel Contract Was Awarded to Kerr The minutes of the meeting of Turnberry Council held in the Town, Hall, Wine-harn, August 7th, 1945.
