Association • v.; CASH MONEY -and some of it may come your way! Yesterday Farmer Neilson got over $800 cash when he ' sold his grain. Through the processes of trade and com- merce, some of that money may come to you. Banking service enabled him to obtain his money quickly. The farmer doesn't have to wait for his money until his grain reaches the consumer . this is important to you, no matter where you live or what your work. Former Neilson, and thousands like him, spend money for household and farm equipment, food, clothes, radios, paint and a hundred other things. This helps keep people usy all over the Dominion. Your bank advances credit also to help farmers plant, cultivate and harvest crops of all kinds, to buy and raise live. stock.

Most forest fires are started by human beings. Thousands of acres are blackened and destroyed every year 'because someone was not careful with fire. When you use a match, break it in two before you throw it away. Be sure your discarded cigarette is out too. When you make a campfire, build it small and in a safe place.

Provided, as he now is, with purpose nobler than self-interest, he sets himself to the task with. loftier ambition and renewed energy. Eager he Is for that conscious recognition within' himself of having a definite and necessary part in the national welfare In its domestic and export ac- tivities, Zealous is he that his contribution may be worthy and adequate. By his side, ever ready to help make more effective the farmer's effort is the Canadian implement maker whose co-operation in furnishing the most efficient machines enables him to multiply his output and extend his, activities so that today he produces more with less manpower and In the most economical manner yet attained. Never were the opportunities in agriculture more promising—never was the Canadian farmer better fitted or better equipped to make the most of those, opportunities. In the future as in the past Massey-Harris will encleavoUr to develop, supply and service equipment that Will make it easier for the farmer to fulfill his plena and aspirations.

SoMe 25000 of our fellow Canadians suffered physical disabilities during the war and all wish to see this gallant band of, veterans again take their place in society and industry. We must give them an opportunity to stand on their own feet, the opportunity to prove their capabilities and a full op- portunity to lead independent lives. In District "F" with headquarters at London, Ontario, of which this com- munity forms a part, there are approx- iamtely 2000 disability cases register- ed in the Casualty Section which is under the administration of the Cas- ualty Rehabilitation Section at West- minister Hospital. This section has Mr. A, D. Haylett, A,F,C., as district supervision and the territory under his supervision is divided into six districts, each with a Rehabilitation offioer look- ing ,after the interests of the disabled in the districts assigned to them. There are many who are of the opin- ion that a man or woman who has some kind of a physical injury or de- fect or is suffering from some dis- ease or medical condition cannot play a full part iii the social and economic life of our country, It is a fact how- vier that disabled veterans are not' a social or economic problem. All that is necessary is to consider what the disabled can •do and give them an op- portunity to be employed on their mer- its, making full use of the faculties which they possess. Almost everyone has some form of employment handicap, This handicap may be one or more of many things, oyer weight, under weight, failing eye sights, age (too old or too young) too short or too tall, faulty hearing or any one of a number of other handicaps. Thus it can readily be seen that the disabled veteran handicapped in some respects can be fully and gainfully em- ployed in normal competition with his fellowman: It is not necessary for the disabled veteran to be employed in jobs where only minor skill'is required. 'When pro- perly placed he will fit into the pat- tern as completely as the others with whom he is engaged. Recently there was held a "Back to Work" exhibition at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, and a number of dis- abled veterans demonstrated how with proper training and placement they are taking their place in industry as effic- iently as men who have carried on similiar types of work for many years. After attending this demonstration one manufacturer made a survey of his large plant and then 'made the state- ment that he could absorb 30 such trained disabled veterans. We must also take into considera- tion that very few jobs require full physical capacity. In the thousands of types of jobs throughout Canada there is a place for our disabled veterans, It is quite plain to be seen that physical disability need not be an occupational handicap. That is that physically dis- abled men or women, properly trained, and placed in a job calling for his or her particular physical and mental qualifications, but not those physical activities which he or she cannot per- form, can earn a full wage and do a full job of work. • A definite study of the physical re- quirements of every job must be made. One must determine if the job requires or does not require such activities as walking, standing, running, jumping, handling, pushing, kneeling, seeing, hearing, etc. Then a comparison can be made of the jobs, physical demands and the capabilities of those of the vet- eran, Can the veteran walk, stand, run, climb, finger, feel, see, etc. Is the job an inside or outside job? Is it dusty or damp and can the veteran meet the conditions determined. The matter of placement is thus of greatest importance and this is the type of work that the Casualty Rehab- ilitation Section is endeavouring to carry out on behalf of the disabled veteran. The large number so far successfully placed is proof that great progress is being made but to insure the utmost Success the to-operation Of the employer is of vital necessity also the veteran Must be ready and willing to play hiS full part and this also haS ,been amply demonstrated, Can a one-armed ‘veteran operate a lathe? Can a blind veteran become pro- ficient at weaving? Can a one-legged veteran be a successful Motor lnech- anit? Can a paraplegic (totally ,para- lyzed below waist) be gainfully em- ployed? Cana T, B. victim eventually support himself and family. The Cas- italty Section at Westminster Hospital, London, Can' answer yes to all these ctiltStiotil as hundreds of .disabled vet= trans have been successfrilly rehabilit- ated, This work is by no Meant complete and nearly alt will have 'the Opportun- ity of assisting ht this very important Part of the Department' of Veterans Affairs .rehabilitation program.

The Phy- sical Fitness Division of the Depart- ment of National Health and Welfare points out that the start of a day is all-important. They suggest that those who would conserve and build up. health sacrifice .a few minutes in bed. to get up and "set up", mOpen the window wide" they say, "inhale deep- ly, and then start out to meet life with: a smile by walking to work".
