BEAN GROWERS
RECEIVE -REPLY
FROM LOCAL M.P.
Huron County Federation of Agri-
culture, at the request of county
bean growers, recently wired W. H.
Golding, M.P. for Huron -Perth, re-
garding the situation and asking him
to use his influence to have metal
for cans released to the:manufactur-
ers of cans,
The reply received by W. V. Roy,'
secretary of the Federation, is as
fellows; Y i, S e a. °i.!a. ?•1,1:.,'o- c r
"With further reference. to your
wire October e of Oct ber 10th regarding
the
release of cans for Canadian Can-
ners at Exeter to can beans that
otherwise might be lost, I might say
that I have kept in contact with the
officials of the Wartime Prices • and
Trade Board and also the Agricul-
tural Supply Board in an effort to
have action taken immediate'y to re-
lease cans for this purpose.
"However,. I ani told now that the
Canning Companies, :'themselves, ,feel
that the beans are in a condition that
would not warrant this action being
taken, and I am also advised that
the Agricultural Supply Board made
representation to Britain in regard
to this proposal and that they defin-
itely will not take canned beans un-
less the beans are in A-1 condition
when canned.
"Therefore, it looks, both from the
standpoint of the Canning Co., and
the standpoint of the British Food
Board, that this proposal is not fees•
ible and has to be abandoned, al-
though I• know that the officials here
would have gladly released cans for
this purpose if they had found that
it would be satisfactory to the Brit-
ish Food Board.
"I feel deeply concerned about the
bean situation in our district and
throughout Western Ontario, because.
I know that' a. large' acreage had beer,
set aside for .the purpose of prodnc'
mg these', beans, and; I. ,know•,it is
going to: mean a terrific loss to our
farmers, and' that at a time when
food 'products are so badly needed;
in all .parts . of the world, .•However,•
this is something that we have no
control over and one can only regret,
as..I said before, Lb eee our ;people
suffer such a loss."
REQ . •CROSS NOTES
Many requests have come to Red
Cro,s headquarters asking •just how
urgent the'':need still •is:, In August;
we 'were •told. ;that' cur job was not
finished and that, as. Red. Cross work-
ers, we were obliged to do all we
could for•the mitigation' of suffering,;
and that' beyond 'question of a doubt
the` need for clothing:was as great as'
a'' anydaring , t time d, r ng the war` :,

call for a large ;saripntenthospithl

Two Youths
Face Burglary
Counts Nov.
Charged with breaking and enter-
ing the 'cottage of Albert R. Mitchell,
Clinton, at Bark's Beach, Lake
Huron, and' stealing goods valued at
more than $25, two youths appeared
in a special hearing before Mrs.
Mabel Gray, J.P., at Goderich last
night; and were remanded in custody
until Thursday. next, November 1 at
2 p.m. for hearing before. Magistrate
Cook.
The pair, who were captured in a
cottage at Bayfield yesterday after-
noon by Constable John Parker, Bay-
field, and Provincial Constable Wil-
liam Gardiner,, Goderieh, are Maurice.
Brown, 18, Aylmer, and another Ayl-
mer boy who gave his age as 13.
Police expect that the arrest of the
two 'teen -aged youths may lead to
the solution of an epidemic of cottage
looting in this area in the past two
weeks which, for a time, has had
them baffled.
Admission Made
Police said the boys admitted they
had entered seven cottages at Bay-
field, and others at near -by beaches
after they were' confronted with a
duffle' bag and three or four suitcases
filled with loot from the several cot-
tages and two rifles, the property of
A. R. Mitchell and Clifford Lobb,
Clinton. °
The boys, said police, admitted
they had entered and looted the cot-
tages of Edgar Bauer, Waterloo;
Harry Bauer, Waterloo; M. Kantor,
Detroit; the late Dr. Thomas, London;
Mrs. Harold Purvis, Detroit; Mr.
Motor, Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and
Mrs. Heideman, Toronto.
Clinton Cottagers Involved
Cottages of ..the following Clinton
people at Burk's beach, were ran-
sacked prior to the discovery by A.
R. Mitchell, Sunday afternoon: M. T.
Corless; A. R. Mitchell, Lobb's •and
Hales'.,:,
In till', 15 'buildings'•Were bzitei'ed
and ransacked; and the loot` hidden
in the woods and nearby juniper
bushes. Some of it, including a radio,
was' packed in orange boxes. Vandal-
ism, such as shooting bullet holes in
pictures on the wall, was rampant.
1 youths
When apprehended, the two
were carrying the stolen firearms.
Indications were that the culprits
lived in Orval Lobb's cottage, which
is bn the hillside and commands a
long southern and western view of the
beach and lake. Articles from the
other cottages had been carried there
and were partially destroyed or rend.
erect Wholly unusable. Damage to
buildings is extensive in one or more
instances.
Alert Caretaker
Alertness on the part of Caretaker
'William' Elliott was credited by police
and owners of the cottages with ar-
rest of the boys. In his rounds he
saw evidence that one of the cottages
had been entered and called in Con-
stable Parker, who in. turn notified
Constable Gardiner. '
Mitering the cottage of Edgar
'Bauer, Waterloo, the police, and the
cottage owner said they found the two
