-"I think it's lovely. It's just the
way I had hoped it would be," wits the
expression of Mrs. Terrence Hussey
when asked what her impression of
outhern Ontario was. Mrs. Hussey,
an English war bride, has been in On-
tario for only one week, --but her en-
thusiasm for the gpriagtime climate
and the general beauty of this part of
the. country is unbounded. However,
she a not looking, forward with eager-
ness to Canada's intense summer beat,
after spending a lifetime in England'
moderate climate. On the other hand,
she believes she will like our snow -
filled winters.

As with most people coming from
_England after more. than six years
*of food rationing, she cannot "get over"

guineas ($25) paid for a pineapple
in England. inapressed her greatly.

MILK TWELVE CENT 4 A QUART
The Price of Milk to consumers in
Goderich from Rine 1st will he twelve
cents a quart, an increase of two cents.
,The increase arises from the discon-
tinuance of the Government subsidy
of two cents a qpart. This subsidy,
paid by the 'Government since December
of 1942, has been passed.along in its en-
tirety to censunuers. The difference now
is simply, that the consumer is paying
directly the two cents per quart which
the Government has been paying- since
1942. The farmer and the dairyman
will receive ekactly the same 'price as
they have, been *getting.
Dairymen announce that Sunday de-
