Phone 70x Brussels, Ont. i Heburn Refuses To Alter 'Liquor Policy Ontario has the word of Premier Mitchell Hepburn that this .govern - anent is not going to change its liquor control policy or bar women from beverage rooms, but if munici- palities wish to "dry" themselves up, they have the power to dro so by barbot. Addresisnng the Elgin ounty coun- cillors at Talhotviile on Friday, Premier Hepburn .said "I've never been in one of those so-called "Hep- burn ihellAror'es" ,but I know that the women of Ontario never again will accept the old single standard of Years ago," He was referring to mixed 'beverage rooms. As he gave this interpretation �t his liquor policy, the Premier also douched briefly on Canada's war effort, which he said was stili not au ali-ont one. He declared that when Canada's representatives ,signed the United Nations total war pledge at Washington, they died so "witty their tongues in their cheek." In ,nes discussion of the liquor question, Mr. Hepburn disclosed he had given the matter of prothibition a lot of thought recently. As Tar as he was personally concerned, ad_ ministering the Liquor Control Act was distasteful to him. It wa a sub- ject in which the human element en- tered to such a great extent. "Rear. prohibition,' ho said, "rester primar- ily with the tndividuai." "Prohibition in an area like On- tario, surrounded by the wet prov- inces of [Canada and the , United States would. cause . illicit liquor to flow in our direction mike molasses in summer time," he said. "The supply would be augmented by bath- tub gin and squirrel whisky, causing as it did before, blindness and in- sanity. Heaven knows[ our mental hospitals are overcrowded now. Do not acid to our problem, for it is your problem inasunudh as I tax you for their maintenance." How To Reduce Farm Machinery Cost Machinery now plaits an import- ant part in farm operations and these is particular need for operat- ing it, repairing it econoriiicsljly and overhauling it regularly. The fol- lowing methods may be used to re- duce the farmmachinery costs. says W. Kalbfieisch Field dlaban.dry Division, Central Experimental Faun, Ottawa. (1.)

Need Campaign On Preparedness It is unfortunate, considering the many publicity camipaigns the gov- ernment has sponsored, that no real effont Inas been made to awaken the average citizen to the need Mr pre- paredness in the event of air raids. The fact must be admitted that inso- far as the average householder is concerned, his knowledge of what to do, if bombing started, and the pos- sibility is by no means[ remote would probably be limited to turning out the lights. Admittedly there have been trial blackouts in same seotions of the Dominion, but something more than a blackout is needed to safeguard a commanity from bombs. In Ontario, for example, it is very doubtful whether a black -out would even hamper night bombers, since there are lakes[ and rivers visible at night Which would enable bombers to lo- cate even the smallest community. Preparedness is not something that can be achieved over night—nor achieved by the Government. It is a rather complex business, in which many groups must take a hand. Can- adians .Jluoutd be issued an official handbook telling and explaining just what to do and what not to do in the event of an air raid. Officials should be named for every community, and thoroughly instructed as to specific duties. It is believed that a preparedness FARM COMMMOOS AND HELP HARVEST P000 fiet. VICTORY SPEND a day or two each week on the farm during harvesting. Join the thousands of Farm Commandos who are prepared to"dose up shop" or lay down their tools for a time, if necessary, to "raid" the harvest fields and help ensure the safe harvest of millions of dollars worth,of precious food. Farm Commando Brigades are springing up in Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, Service Clubs and Churches all over Ontario —bringing together townsmen who are will- ing to make a direct, patriotic contribution to the War Effort and gain the good -will of neighboring farmers at the same time. If there is no Farm Commando Brigade forming in your locality, take it up with your Service Club, Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce or Church Executive and get your local Brigade started at once. The need for a great emergency reserve of Fath Commandos is urgent. The "stake" is tremendous. Ontario farmers must have every possible man-hour of labour during harvesting to prevent irreplaceable loss of foods to the Allied War Effort and to Canada herself. Your help is needed — NOW. Volunteer in The Farm Com- mando Brigade and be ready to * help if harvest emergencies arise.

IN THE GARDEN Care Saves Work In imam pants of Canada the Spring !has come unusually early this year and after a little dry weather iiasi turned exceedingly damp. T1115 produces ideal condi- tions for growth unfortunately ap- preciated just as much by weeds as by vegetables, flowers and grass. If unchecked, the garden will soon be over -run by these enemies and the planets one is trying to grow will either be choked out or become so spitndl,y that they are of little value. Prompt measures are advisable to deal with such situations. Oultiva- tion and weeding as soon after a rain as the soil is fit to work will produce wonders. When the soil is damp it is really ,aanazing how even long -rooted weeds are pulled out from among vegetables and flow- ers, and out of lawns and driveways. Cultivations at this time, too, is worth twice that of a Mw days later and is also much easier to carry out. For this; purpose a Dutch 'hoe among Rowers will lease the. task and also a hand -drawn cultivator or wheel hoe in the vegetable garden, Transplanting Sooner or later the new gardener runs up against the problem of trans planting. It will be necessary where flower seeds have beeu grown too close together, for filling in blanks where Fido or frost .has kilted mit some plants, it is pent of the job of setting out such ,s[tarted things ss petunias, tomatoes, cabbages, etc The secret of sn'ceea80ul transplant- ing is water, shade and fertilizer. The beginner is advised to expose roots to the air as little as posible, press rte soil firmly about same. water if at all possible, and shade front the full sun fm' a day or two.
