He's got us saving at last" Wife: "Yes! Imagine! Until it became a positive duty we certainly never managed to put any- thing by each week." 'Husband : "I think it's partly because these War Savings Certificates are so simple to buy." .Wife: "You mean the idea of getting the office to deduct a regular amount each week from your salary?" :Husband: "Yes! And how they're mou)hting up! Quite a nest -egg when you count the inter.est they're earning." Wife: "Well the more the merrier, I say! There are lots of things we'll need the money for, as the years roll by!" The help of every Canadian is needed for Victory. In these days of war the thoughtless selfish spender is a traitor to our war effort. 4 reduction in personal spending is now a vital necessity to re- lieve the pressure for goods, to enable more and more labour and materials to be diverted to winning the war. The all-out effort, which Canada must make, demands this self.denial of each of us. 7 SPEND MSS - To ruse AIOR ' WAR SAVJGS CER •kIFI ES Dies In German Prison Pilot Officer Douglas Morrison Wildon, son of Mr. and Mrs. F.

Fowler of Guelph, president of the Fair board, announces. The great "farmers' show': had to be cancelled two years ago when. the Departm>.nt of Defence took over the fair build- ings at Guelph as barracks tor army units. The buildings have been slacant for some time now, .and It was hoped that they night be avail.. able for the four-day show early in December, but Government officials refused to grant their use. As a result tlhe fair board will e7n- Vlnue to operate the commercial livestock show at the Toronto stock yards, and a seed show, also in To., rontto. These two branches of the fair have been carried on the past two years and have proved most succesand. Inflation Threatens Listowel Assessor Achieves Objective L9S11OWQ7I�, Sept, 27.—After suit- ing for 31. years, the length of time he has held office, W. Y. Dowd, town assessor, has finally pushed Listowel's population over the 3,000 figure. For many years the resi- dents numbered around 2,500 bat lately.. there has been a steady in- crease. When Mr. Down completed his 1942 assessment he• had realrzea his objective with a total of 3,002. Although it is believed this . figure was surpassed in the "90's" it is a new high for this century. Mr. Down announced. the total assessment was $1,546,042, an increase of $9,.271 over the 1941 roll. During the past twelve muonthsi there has been 38 births and 22 deaths.

Flights •may replace present cadet corps io the collegiate of tlhe Gavernifent to combat it. This applies to products vitally ca. quired by farmers, although consum- ers in the urban domestic field are Perhaps more severely affected. Pieces of bay and straw in Ontario are anywhere from $1:00 to $5.00 a ton higher than at this dole last Year, though, there was a pronounced shortage in 1940s The authorities have placed a ban on the export of hay except under license. For. tunately the defi;cirt in the hay crap will be partially offset ley a bountf•. fill yield of corn. Arrangements are under way for the shipment under favorable ,freight nates, to Ontario of coarsegrain from the west, which will be required dor feed if the demand from Great Britain for bacon and cheese'is to be met, 'l%e recent sharp advance in the price of cheese will soon, pruCtically speaking, render it unnecessary to oali upon Canadians to refrain from eating cheese in order that the hard- pressed people of Britain may be assured of their agreed quota - 112,000,000 pounds or more The price will be quite auffloient to re- strict domestic buying, as shote in Ontario last week was retailing et almost double what the eommodnY Commanded a year ago.

He referred to a letter which had gone forward to all boards in the province in which Premier Hepburn endorses the Air I Cadet League and in which he urges school boards to co-operate. —V -- You Can Trust The Women (Huron. Expositor) O•win, to .the rationlnv of clothes in Britain the women have been (raving a pretty hard and dull time of It. But you can always trust a Woman to find a way,' And the British women have found it, Now London women are buying kilts and making them over into dresses, skirts and coats, and belt- ing the Government handsomely, too. According to the clothing table of rationing, a kilt while it contains at least seven yards of cloth ranks only as a single pair of trousers, and one can be obtained for eight coupons. On the other hand it requires fear and a half ,coupons a yard, That is how far the women are ahead of the Government, But, Mon!
