Woods work, including the cutting of pulpwood ranks high on the list. Mr, Mc- Namarties appeal: "Right Honourable Malcolm Mac- Donald, British High Commissioner eek Canada, has paid tribute publicly to Canadian fanners by stating: •'t'Bhe simple fact is that without the help of Canadian farmers the war would have been lost two years or .more ago," ,Because 1 was brought up cm a farm, this statement thrilled me. It will thrill you too! l The appeal for farmers and farm workers, not needed on farms this winter, which is now being made, is both patriotic and practical If jobs in the woods, to cut fuel, logs, and pulpwood, are not filled, the war • effort, and as well our national welfare, will .suffer seriously. Tbe same may also be said or employ- ment mploym•ent vacancies in. food processing plants and other essential works, lanintetlteng the appeal to farmers and faun workers to accept other , essential employment, during the ai slack farm season, National Select: rive Service is shwing a way In which you can still further' aid i Cay.e:da'in' i.ts war effort. Doing , essential work during . the 1-n •winter, *ben you can be spared from • the farm, •W411 not affect posipone- ment of military training. You will ee fecurse ••return to tbe farm in the Spring." Any farmer or farm worker wish- ing to undertake such winter work UM apply to an office of National 'Selective 'Seeliee, to any provincial agricultural representative or his local Farm 'Production Committee, Also, pule ant paper comp.anles, with the approval of National Selective Service, 'have canvassers in the 'field, 'to signup pulpwood cutters. akeeretareatteateitalatetaleletgleetrall Melville Chur.ch Minister Rev.

The Prices Stability Corporation is continuously buying coffee and is pushing for deliveries, and coffee arrivals have been better iu recent months, but with the larger per capita consumption and with 30 per cent of the supply golug to the armed forces, prisoner of war par• cels and institutions, the stockpile is adequate for only five months, as against normal peacetime reserves of seven, or eight months.
