FOR THE FALLEN
Remembrance Day, November 11, 1946
th proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea;
Fie& of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
:Solemn the drums thrill: Death a,ugust and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midth of desolation
And a glary that shines upon our teams.
They went ;with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were ,staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
• Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-tiane;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
13ut where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a"well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their Own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night.
As the stars that shall be be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the starry plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
—Laurence Binyon

SAVINGS BONDS CONTINUE ON SALt
The Minister of Mthat Monte has .decided at Canada
Savings Bonds shall not be withdrawn immediately,
but shall remain available to purchasers until fur-
ther notice, The decision will be of particular Interest in
Huron County and other agricultural areas of Canada,
where income is seasonal and where many farmers will
want to make their investment later in the year. Workers
in other fields, whose income varies periodically, also will
find benefit in the new plan.
As Finance Minister, 3. L. lisley, made public his
decision, the cumulative total had reached $257,947,600
from 670,691 ,applications. Since then this total has in-
creased to a point well beyond the expectations at national
headquarters when the bonds first went on sale.
The bonds will continue to be available through
authorized investment deaelrs, stock brokers and trust or
loan companies, and through banks. However, "there is
no time like the present" to place your order.

Following the announcement last week (that there
would be a six-day open season for deer hunting in the
County of Huron this month, such a howl went up from
the County Council, the press, and individuals, that the
Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries hastily with-
drew it. Apparently, some poor fellow blundered.

As Remembrance Day approaches, our thoUghts
turn backward to other days and years, and we pause and
think of those who "walk with us no more." The sentiments
so beautifully expressed by Laurenee Mayon in the above

Mrs. J. D. Thorradike for calling our ,attention to this poem
on the eve of Remembrance Day.

What About
Farm Homes?
(National Farm Radio Forum) .
There is nothing more important to
a nation than the state of its homes.
No one would contend' that a nation
can be truly great if its people live
amid the risk and discomforts of in-
adequate and unattractive' housing.
The homes are significant also be-
cause they are an indication of what
is happening to the people. A satis-
factory social and economical envir-
enreent very quiveis results in com
fortable, well-ecedeped homes and :he
roterse is aiR) true. Look at the
state of the homes and you have an
aveurate gauge of the posibien of the
ople and their state of mind.
Theee are eertair. candid:me which
must obtain before people are likely

eicy must 'feel esasonabee secure—

liese prinee-nee apply to town and
country alike though their applica-
tion may vary with varying con-
ditions. City housing is so inadequate
that the city problem gets the spot,
light but it is encouraging to note
that there is increasing interest in
the rural housing peoblein. "What
About Farm Home Improvement" is
the National Farm Radio Forum topic
for November 11.
Farm homes are badly in need of
repair and beautification. It is esti-
mated that at least 188,000 farm
houses in Canada need external re-
pairs. In addition 125,000 new farm
houses are required. Conditions vary
from province to .province. The farm
homes in Nova Scotia and Prince Ed-
ward Island are said to be in better
condition generally than in Ontario
for instance. Prairie homes are ie
particularly bad condition. -
Houses which are in many itt.
stances substantial are too often in.
convenient and ill-equipped. Electric-
ity is basic to good living, and 99
percent of city houses have it but
only 20 per cent of farm houses.
Only seven per cent have bathtubs
with running water, 12 per cent fun.
nace heating, 22 per cent refrigern.
don as compaYedevith 76 per cent.
62 per cet and 70 per cent of city
homes having bathingfacilities, fur-
nace heating and refrigeration. That
is not a very impressive record. It
is to be hoped that the situation will
improve with improvement in farm
income when materials and equiment
are more readily available.
There is another •angle to this prob-
lem. Given the inclination and the
time to do it many people could, at
little or no expense, improve their
home environment greatly. A bit of
paint and some landscaping would
often work wonders. Perhaps if De-
partments of Agrieulture, Agricultur-
al Colleges and schools would provide
more instructions and advice as well
as suitable seeds and shrubs, rural
home improvement could be speeded
up.

Wild Animal Stories
Not to 4)e outdone by other com-
munities that are proud of having sec-
ond crops of raspberries, Pussr wil-
lows in bloom, and so on, Blyth can
boast not only of raspberries, roses,
pansies, and ripe tomatoes still in
the garden unharmed by the light
frosts, but several residents have been
surprised by encounters with wild
animals seldom seen here at any time
of the year.
Dr. and Mrs. K. G. Jackson were
awakened about six o'clock one MO/M-
ing recently by a commotion among
their flock of chickens. On investi-
gation they discovered four of the
chickens killed and others mangled.
.An animal scurried away, but it was
too dark to identify the marauder
until he reached the edge of a nearby
l)ond where he stood revealed as a
large red fox against the water.
While Clem. Galbraith was fixing
O plow with a hammer near a gap
just across the railway tracks, two
hounds chased a red fox through the
gap near enough to Mr. Galbraith
for him to hitereynard with the
hammer when het let fly. The fox,
however, kept going.
.Sunday morning, while Mr. and
Mrs, L. M. .Setiregeour and Mr. and
Mrs. Everett Scrimgeour were driv-
ing along Highway 4 toward Clinton,
they noticed a suspicious red clump
among some dead goldenrod about 15
rods from the highway. The driver
backed the car to the scene and a
large reil fox aroused himself,
stretched, and slowly looked about.
Then it calmly walked farther up the
hill, where it again stopped to take
another look at the intruders before
going on to the woods.
Q:-1 have a small baby who re-
quires evaporated milk in her diet.
Some time ago when her three
months ration coupons had been used
up I. applied and received the neces-
sary coupons. This week when I ap-
plied again I was told I had to have
a certificate from a medical doctor,
public Health Nurse, or day nursery
or Well -Baby olinie every tine I
aipiply for mere evaporated milk coup-
ons for my' baby. Is this true?
A:•—Yes. Recently, due to the
shortage in supply of evaporaed milk
it was necessary to revise scene of
the previous procedures. It used to
be that children. under two years of
age were given an allowance if a
medical certificate was presented the
.first thne the application was made.
The allowanees were then automatic-
ally renewed. Now a recognized
certificate must he presented every
time you apply for the coopons. 'Thie
is to ensure that those utgently in
need of evaporated milk are mutually
the ones who obtain it.

Q:—When it is so hard to get soap
or shortening, why isn't it sold at
certain definite hours of the day and
only to people who present their ra-
tion books? Many women with babies
cannot shop in the morning and when
they do arrive at the store others
have bought up all the supplied.
A:—Soap and shortening are not
rationed by the •Board but the ahopt-
age is tern/soma' and improvements
are expected shortly. Meechauts. may
adopt any plan they wish in distribut-
ing these eornmodities to their cust-
omers. We have no regulations re-
quiring them to sell at certain hours
or to limit their sales. They may do
this of their own Accord. We have
diseovered that many merchants have
their own rationbig plans and pet

A: — These peaches in 105 ounce

for the use of restaurants or public
places. When the supply is greater
than the demand some are sold to
retail outlets. However, they require
so much sugar that few households
can use them efficiently. The small
