In order to prevent the• poisoning of pastures by the dip on the grass, after the sheep have been dipped, it is necessary to bold ,the sheep to allow the dip to runout of the wool: to drain back into the tank, This saves the dip and overcomes; the pasture poisoning danger. To do this, a draining plat- form attached to and sloping towards the clipping tannk must be made. The platform should be large enough to hold ten sheep: Tongued and grooved lumber, or rough lumber linCd with galvanized iron would be satisfactory material to use. Hurdles and a gate salve to keep the sheep eta the plat- form until the dip has been drained ca. If the .dipping tank is located in at lane or in a corner of at field, con- venient holding pens for the sheep pre- vious, to dipping can be easily arrang- ed. Livestock field men of the Dominion Department of Agriculture inn all the proninces have sets of plans for build- ing: a community tattle, and in several districts such tanks have been set up. These tanks have many advantages. The cost and labour are less for the individual farmer, and when a fall dip- ping is undertaken involVes consider- ably less trouble than if there were no equipment at hand. • • • • • ' NM: Y4 • . ut gives you so much Local News every dayl In Toronto and throughout Ontario, Globe and Mail news reporters and special corres- pondents cover the news for you . • • bring you up-to-the-minute, "on-the-spot" reports.

We ex- pected peace and prosperity after five years of war, and instead, we are get- ting war threats, riots, strikes, short- ages, and higher prices, The headlines in our papers during the past week tell the story. Here are a few of those headlines: "Yugo- slays, Albanians, massing against Greece"; "Arabs reject any independ- ent Jewish state"; "Romania gagged by Russians in reparatioes"; "U. S. won't allow relief for Italy to go to others"; "Towns without milk as Farm Strike spreads - in Alberta"; "Land battles as usual in next war, says .Monty in Washington"; "WS.B. re- fuses to back clown in sailors' pay"; "Striking nurses at Belleville General -Hospital firm in demand as parleys held"; "Mayor of New York warns of bloodshed in truck strike"; "Death toll in Bombay riots 244"; "Paratroops in Tel Aviv as explosives rock city"; "Strike halts bus, train service in twin cities of Kitchener and Waterloo"; "London squatters seize apartment in West End"; "Half'-million are idle as picketing seamen lock U.S, ports"; and "Steel parley on, then off".. Our only comment is that we are very, Very fortunate to be living in Wingham, or sonic such peaceful' place.. * VETERANS Veterans from fifteen Legion Posts joined ,the Wingham Legionaires at a Drumhead Service' in the Wingham ToWn Park, and at a Remembrance Ceremony at the Cenotaph, on Sunday, September 8th. Several thousand speetators witnes- sed the two services, and the large crowds were deeply moved by the int- pressive ceremonies. The "Vets" form. up on the Public. School Grounds, and. marched to the park in five detach- ments, each led by a band playing, rousing martial music. It was a thrilling, heart-stirring sight to see the marching men. Once again those "Old Sweats" of • World. War .One, and the "Young Sweats" of World War Two, squared their shoulders, and marched briskly along the streets, They were proud veter- ans of Canada's two famous, Exped- itionary Forces. They, and the "Fall- en Comrades" whom they were re- membering that day, had met, and de- feated the enemy in two bloody, world wars.. The men who fought at Festubert, Givenchy, Ypres, The Somme, Hill 70, Lens, .Fasschendaele, Vimy Ridge, Amiens, Arras, Canal Du Nord, Quar- ry Woods, Bourlon Woods, Cambrai, Denain, Mont Houy, Valenciennes, and Mons, were easy to pick out, They were showing signs of age in their thickening figures and greying hair, but they still had the same old fighting spirit that helped them to do their share in the winning of World War One. The men who served so valiantly in the R.C.A.F., in the Canadian Navy, and in the Canadian Army in World War II. were denoted by their youth- ful forms and- elastic strides. Every spectator knew that they were the heroes of the campaign in -Sicily; of Ortona, and other fierce battles in the mountainous,terrain of Italy; of Diep- pe, the Normandy beaches, Caen, Fal- aise Gap, and Channel Ports in France; of the Schelde Estuary, Bergen Op Zoom, and other fights in Holland; of the final decisive scraps on both sides of the Rhine river in Germany; of countless air fights and 'bombing raids; and of many naval actions and much convey work. It was good to see those veterans of two wars marching together, and, undoubtedly in their memories, they were accompanied by an unseen army of "Fallen. Comrades". In war they CONSTRUCTION Well over $10,000,00 has 'been, or will be, expended this year on con- struction in our town, This is a very encouraging building activity, which includes improvements to •Canada Packers' building, •a large addition to C, Lloyd & Son factory, an addi- tion to Howson's mill, a new church,. a'band stand, and eight houses, in var- ious stages of construction, from blue print to near completion. r. * * FIRE ESCAPES FOR SCHOOL Two fire-escapes have been added to north side, second floor • class room has a door opening onto the platform of the north side of fire-escape; and each south side, second floor class room has a door opening onto the south side fire escape, These fire-escapes are a wonderful safety feature and will mean much for the safety of our children in the event of a fire, They have long been needed, and every resident of Wing- ham must feel glad and relieved to know that they have become a reality, before any calamity occurred. a * KNOW WINGHAM • North and South of the Victoria street, Hydro mill-race bridge are un- ique scenes, reminiscent of a quiet English canal, in miniature.

Good Business To Dip Sheep In Fall To ensure the comfort and vitality of sheep and latnbs -during the winter months, a second dipping in the fall, is necessary to kill any posiible re- maining external parasites, Fall dip. ping is just as important as the earlier dipping, but owing to the fact that ticks may be fewer and more difficult to see, it is often assumed that- the sheep are entirely free from the pests, says /. A, Teller, in charge of Sheep Production, Dipping may be relied upon to kill all lice and ticks, 'but there is a possibility that some of the insect bugs may not have been affect- ed by the dip and will hatch later oft And form a new generation, A few ticks in the fall will multiply many times before spring, hence the neces- sity for the second dipping.
