Willie, riotio Societies of Wingbam to work together to help the farmers of this District to do their seeding and harvest.. ing, It has been lately reported that unless such a move is taken that there will not be more than fifty per cent of the land weeded, this of course will wean agreat handicap in the struggle that the Agricultural Departments are now engaged in, namely, Greater Produetion. The increased production of food stuffs will mean a great asset in this War as Bonar Law hae stated In the British Route of Commons that theyneed food stuffs more than men. The arrangements that have been made are that any farmers needing help for tide year or having any land to rent will hand full particulars to the Secretary of the Board of Trade, Mr, John Ritchie, and oleo any retired farmers and othere, who are able to do farm chores or help with the seeding are also requested to hand their names to Mr, Ritchie. In this way It is thought that a great deal can be accomplished. The Society would like this matter attended to at once as arrangements will need to be made immediately. 44.

A WEEK WITH THE 161st Interesting Notes from Wingham Boy's Diary. • The following letter was written by Randetnan Theodore Mundy of the iOlet Battalion, High Words of Praise for Hurons "They're the cleanest, finest bunch of boys I've ever had anytbing to do with and many who left home un- thinking, irresponsible boys have developed into splendid men. They are a credit to the country which pro- duced them," says Capt., the Rev. J. K. Fateful!, chaplain of the 10I -et, of the Hurons. Capt, Fairfull has re- cently returned to Canada, as the chaplains were not allowed to accom- pany the teen to France. 'tlduction at Wroxeter The induction of Rev. 0, A.

Dear Sister: - Glad to get your letter pouted Feb. 1st, also the second parcel of eooke, and the Wingham Advance. We are getting settled down in our new camp now, but don't know how long the battalion is to stay here. They are forming a new division here, and the 101et and. the 100th Brume Batt. are both in it. There is a rumor going around that ono of the battalions in our brigade is to be broken up, but I don't think there is any fear of the Hurons being broken up, because a lot of men are being drafted in and the battalion will eoon be up to strength. Now for a little bit about the camp. We are living in huts now, each hold- ing about thirty five men. The huts are lighted by electricity, but the power house was burnt down a little while ago so we have to use candles, Sj Personals 6.ww w vr. •.iw.rva wurvwv w!

BOARD OF TRADE Commission to Run Wingltane Strongly Favored The regular monthly meeting of the Board cf Trade was Held in the Council Chamber on Friday evening. Owing to the very dieagreeable weather the attendance was small. The president reported that Dollar Day had been a marked success. He also reported on proposed industries locating here. The usual Wednesday half holiday and early closing magi dlecussed and some were of the opinion that it would be better for bueineas if the stores did not close half a day each week during the summer months. The advantages of a weekly market day was also cliscuesed and on motion of W. A. Currie and W. J, Hilliard it will again be brought up at the next regular meeting. At the request of the Dominica Government through the National Service Commission it was asked that the Board of Trade appoint a commit• tee to report to them conditions and suggestions ae to the best methods of looking after the returned soldiers after the war is over.

Much fun was derived from the opening of the t/nrdele and reading the humorous eeeses attached to each, after which tames of various kinds Were enjoyed and lunch served. Before the guests diepereed all joined heartily in singing; "For they are jolly good fellows' Mr, x)icknyan iii a few well chosen words thanked all those present for remembering them in such a tangible way and also for the kindly thoughts which prompted lbs action and aetyured all that his home would ale:tart b" npen to the Young People of dt T'attl'e.

The camp and drill grounds are fiat and the earth is a mixture of sand and olay or something which eoon dries out after any rain, so we are not troubled with any mud. The cfficere sleep in a buuch of huts separated from, the rest. I think this is an old Imperial Camp and the officer's huts used to be the married men's quarters. The road from London to Portsmouth runs right through the camp. Right in front of our 'parade ground is a large Y. M. 0.

About five minutes walk from here there are a bunch of newly built etoree just made of matched boarding or galvanized iron, where we can buy anything from a glass of lemonade to a uniform.

They came back last Tuesday after, noon, having been at the ranges for a week. A buneb of bandsmen have been transferred from • the 142nd "London's Own" battalion, so now we have a band of thir.tyftve men. They are nearly all good players so I guess we will be able to compete with any other band around here; We are all being fed good uow and have good sleeping quarters no we can't find any. thing to kick about. We can get our washing done without much trouble now. A laundry bee taken up a con- tract with the battalion and we each pay three shillings a month.

This committee will meet in the council chamber on Friday evening, March, 30th. Mr, W. A. Currie brought up the matter of the government of Wing - ham by a commission instead of by a council. He explained how a member of the council who served on a com- mittee this year, is likely not to be in the council next year or if there he ie very liable to be taken off one comit- tee and placed on another that he is not at all familiar with. Mr. Currie asked would a man run bis business long if he changed the manager every year? Just so with ,the town's affairs, as soon as a man gets familiar with one department he is either not a can- didate for office oris placed or another department of work next year. He showed very clearly where if a salaried commission was appointed it would be the means of saving considerable money in a very short time. It stands to reason. that no councillor can afford to spend his own time on this work and even though he would, in nine cases out of fon, be afraid to do this or that lest be should hurt one or more of his electors feelings. A commission is certainly the most progressive form of Municipal government a town of Winghanl'e size could adopt. Several towns who have three or four paid commissioners are among the meet progressive, ST. PETER'S JOB NO CINCH Three mon walked • briskly up the street, .
