HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1943-9-29, Page 3ARSIGHTED householders are seeing the urgent need of preparing their homes now against this winter's coal shortage. They are acting now! HEATING SYSTEMS MUST BE EFFICIENT: HOMES SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY INSULATED. Here are some jobs you should be doing NOW ! 1 Have your entire heating system inspected. Order necessary repairs. ZHave your furnace thoroughly cleaned by a competent man. Insu- late furnace and pipes where necessary. Be sure that you have sufficient storm windows and that all windows and doors fit tightly. Have cracks in walls repaired. Weatherstrip wherever it is necessary. Consider seriously the insula- tion of ceiling and walls. Many homes waste as much as 60% of their fuel through ineffi- cient heating equipment, inadequate insulation and other heat losses. Winter is just around the corner. Prepare NOW ! Special Efforts To Move Feed Grains Special meas:,tt5 have been taken by the Agricultural Suppliee Board to encourage the movement of us large quantlties of `'esteii1 feed grains eastward as possible with the hope •of building up re- serves its public storage, dealers' warehouses, a1 d farmers' granaries to eupptemeut the current movement by rail during the feeding season, in addition to the . , :continuation of freight assistance on the move- ment of 'Western grains from the Head of the Great Lakes to destin- ation in the East, there are two other policies designed to encourage the 'movement into position in Eastern Canada curing the summer and fall months of reserve stooks or grain for feeding. These can he effective only if cvicey one, including fanners and feed dealers, realizes the vital in1- pord:arme of taking aotive treasures w'tllout delay to secure tie ;'great a nrop.ortion as possible of the feed gnat's they expect to need next winder and spring. in the early part of • the season •:hen g'rair's could have been moved 111e1'e rriarlily, orders for any Consid- erable quantities were not placed Pumices or feed dealers; and though recent reports would indicate tibat itarmeis in many entities are now taking advantage of the provision that have been made.. no assurance can be given that, even with the most that can he done, all the grain that can and should be fed in the East can be moved clown. A long, open Pall will help get re- serves into position, and ,a' inil'd winter will help with current move- ment.

THE' i3R U i POST .Wednesday, Sepeinem, 23th, 194; while+awl ere Everybody is thinking a great deal about the future these days ... planning .. getting ready for the period to follow the war. All realize that the war may bring surprises—but-the tide is turning in our favour. Chemists and engineers, producing things needed for war, are making discoveries which will mean comforts and con- veniences for all of us when peace comes. New methods of making things, new processes, new materials, now being filed away in blue prints and formulae, will bring us many new and useful articles. Many things not available now will be replaced by better models and designs. You may have plans for a new home, remodelling your present home, new home furnishings. If you are a farmer you will need new and improved equip- ment and machinery. Now, while you are thinking and plan- ning, you can do something to insure that your plans can be carried out. Victory Bonds—which can be bought on. convenient instalments, with money . as you get it—provide a means of keep- ing your savings intact, earmarked for things you want. • Most Canadians are saving money. Most of us - are buying Victory Bonds and when we buy Victory Bonds we are helping to win the war. ' We are helping to speed the day of victory and we are doing something that will benefit ourselves. WHAT IS A VICTORY BOND? . A VICTORY BOND is the promise' of the Dominion of' Canada to repay in cash the face value of the Bond on the date of maturity with half -yearly interest until that time. A Victory Bond is the safest investment in Canada backed by the entire resources of the Dominion. Canada has been issuing bonds for 75 years, and has never failed to pay every dollar of principal and interest when due. A Victory Bond is an asset readily marketable at any time. library Wednesday evening, Sept. 25th. The 194;1 repot't was read. It was very favorable, - lir.
