Quebec To End Liquor Permits Qoebecr-Prernier Duplessis said be understood it is the intention to end the liquor permit system in Quebec province as of next May 1st. The permit system was introduced by the Quebec Liquor Commission in 1942 and other provinces followed with similar systems, Because the Quebec Commission had greater stocks on hand, the ration in this pro- vince was always more ample than in, other 'provinces. Minimum ration reached was 40 ounces:' Last fall the commission lift- ed the ration on rum and gin, and on February 4th placed the ration on rye at 80 ounces a month, Marshall Field Bids $1,200,000 For Churchill History Of War London,—The London Star said Henry Luce and Marshall Field were bidding for publication rights to a his- tory of the recent war by Winston Churchill and that Mr. Field "at pres- ent is offering the highest figure" of $1,200,000. The newspaper gave no source for its information. Mr; Luce is pUblisher of the maga- zines Time, .Life and Fortune. Mr. Field publishes the Chicago Sun and New- York PM. The Star said Mr. Churchill was working on the first draft of the his- tory before he left for a Florida vaca- tion and that the former prime mini- ster first decided the work should not be published until he died. "It seems probable now, that some of America's wealthiest publishers may have caused him to change his mind," the Star said.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS Female Help W an ted ADDITIONAL FEMALE HELP URGENTLY NEEDED • ALSO Male Help for Night Work AGES 16 to 30 5 DAY WORK WEEK EXCELLENT WAGES and WORKING CONDITIONS — APPLY — By Harry J. Boyle Have you ever tried putting up a clothes line on a cold day? It's a task to take all the patience any man is capable of mustering for a job per- formed at the insistence of the lady of the house. • It ranks with such men- ial jobs . . . and nasty on-es I might - add . . , as those of putting on storm windows or putting up stovepipes or cleaning a chimney. Our clbthesline was a poor one full of swirls and kinks and made of some wartime substitute which rusted to the point where it looked like a light coloured copper piece of wire, I did-nt pay much attention to the whole thing, although Mrs. Phil often mentioned it, -until a great streak of rust appeared on my good white shirt reserved for meetings of the school board and such affairs. At a sale about a week ago I bought a good galvanized clothesline for a dollar and went home in great glee. In some strange way or other I suppose I imagined. that would mean the end of the whole affair. It didn't by any means, Mrs. Phil took great pains to tell me at regular intervals that a clothesline bundled tip in the woodshed wasn't a bit more good than one that was rusty and strung out on the line. Late on Monday afternoon I quit a little early from work. Mrs. Phil met me at the kitchen door holding D. W. Mundell, formerly of Sas- katoon, Sash,, who is one of the commission counsels in the Cana- dian inquiry into an alleged Rus- sian espionage system here. G. Fauteux, of Montreal, Que., who is one of the counsel of the Royal Commission investigating espionage in Canada. E. K.

The more I pulled and tugged and the madder I got, the worse the whole thing seemed to be. It flipped and it banged and just when I had the whole thing straight then it would slip again and convulse into a writhing mess of wire. We had supper at eight . a fashionable hour I suppose. My face and hands were scratched and ray smock was torn and there was a gash across, the knee of my overalls but the clothesline was in place and Mrs. Phil is much happier about time whole thing. the clothesline. When I took it down at the auction sale it didn't make much difference just how I bundled it up, so long as it would fit into the back seat of the old car. What a fool I was. It was twisted and tangled and snarled into a thousand and one dif- ferent ways. Honestly it didn't seem possible that one small piece of wine could get twisted into so many differ- ent knots and angles. The pulleys were right in the middle of it. When got the one end into the pulley and started pulling the whole mess out it would slip and slide like strings of jelly and fly back in my face.

WHAT CAN I DO? The answer is plenty! In the next column are some of the things any- one can do. The suggestions come from a well-known Ontario hotelman: 1. Know the places of interest and beauty spots in your district and tell people all about them. 2. When you write your friends in the States tell them about the places they would enjoy visiting. 3. Try to make any visitor glad he came. 4. Take time to give requested informa- tion fully and graciously. 5. In business dealings, remember Cana- da's reputation far courtesy and fair- ness depends on you. 6. to sum it up, follow the "Golden Rule." Hon. G. Howard Ferguson Dies Suddenly Toronto,—Hon. G.

The Society's 'War Work was made possible because every sixth Canadian became a member, Mr. Hill said, tirgt ing a large enrolment in the coming campaign. A strong membership would enable the society to begin operation of its new free' blood, transfusion service and help its outpost hospital work.

The following . interesting article on Pioneer Days wade written by Win. J. Currie, who is now living with his daughter at Granton, Ontario. • There was a man, John Lamont, a pioneer. He took a grist of wheat for flour to Bluevale a mill a distance of seven miles with oxen and jumper. He couldn't get the, grist in return, so he had to leave it overnight. He took the oxen and jumper home and and went back the next morning with auger and axe on foot. He built a raft, loaded his flour, bran and shorts on the raft at the mill, He floated down the river to within one half mile of his. home. Another pioneer was Enez Sharrer who was a Dutchman. He was a great chopper, He wore a pair of long- legged cowhide boots. In cold weather while chopping he filled his boots with cold water to keep his feet warm. He had one large chin tree on his farm. He thought it too large at the base to chop through so he built a scaf- fold ten or twelve feet high, then he climbed the scaffold and chopped the tree down. I have seen the stump myself several times, Enez was a great shot with the rifle. He had an occasion to shoot at something near the back of his farm. His son, Joe was in line with the shot but his father wasn't aware of it. Joe told me himself, that he saw the bullet coming and dod- ged it. I would verify this statement but question it. Joseph Kerr, George Kerr's grand- father, was a very large, and strong man, he and his wife, (she wasn't very big) walked to Goderith for some groceries, Mr. Kerr strapped a hun- dred Pounds of flour on his shoulder and fifty pounds on Mrs. Kerr's shoul- ders. They carried it a distance of over thirty miles, On getting near home Mrs. Kerr got tired and Mr. Kerr took the fifty pounds on his shoulders. They lived beer Holmes schoolhouse at the time. Mr. and Mrs. Kerr had a datighter living in GOderich, and she wanted het mother to come as she was going to be confined. Mr, Kerr wasn't at home When the word came, so. Mrs. Kerr started immediately for Goderich. when Mr, Kerr returned in the even- ing they told Wm where she went, lie • Was anxious about his Wife so he started after her as there was rio roads .
