ATKEY H. L. TOMLINSON Editor and B si ess Ma ager Plant Managerer THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1945 CLINTON'S APPEAL TO INDUSTRIALISTS' W&th a ~policy of industrial decentralization becoming more popular in =Ontario' every day, 'perhaps it is time that Clintonians took stock of themselves and their fair town. lC}nton possesses several examples right at home of the value of industries to the people and to business gen- erally; and no one can gainsay the fat that they are necessary for the success Of any municipality in .the. province. But what are we doing to attract more industries? The answer may be provided very easily in the one word, "nothing." Now, Clinton has many natural advantages that might' interest industries in locating here. .Just look the list over; you may think of others. It is the right size of town for the operation of most industries; it has the advantage of good shopping, recreational and educational facilities without the crowded conditions of the larger cities. From a transportation standpoint, its site is excel- lent. It is located on Canadian National Railways, and is at the junction of two of Ontario's most -travelled highways, with easy access to the rest of the Province, It is not a heavily -industrialized area, not a "mill" type of town; and so is 'a more pleasant place in which to live than most other places. In Clinton, industrialists would be able to secure sites which would be very centrally -located, so that employees would be able to walk to work andgo home for lunch. Contrast this with the people in the larger cities who may spend over two hours of their time, day after day, going to and from their work. There is plenty of power available, and new plants would Make up some of the available capacity of the local public utilities system. The town's water : supply has the finest quality in Canada. Its educational, church and fraterlialfacilities ,are. unsurpassed: Those who reside in Clinton know it is a good place in which to live, and, naturally, they are anxious to share that happy experience with others. Who will start the ball rolling to secure additional . industries for Clinton? 0 0 1VIORE SUGAR WITH LESS WORK World shortage of sugar, combined with lack of labour in the sugar -beet growing areas, has stimulated development of ,beet harvesting machinery p.s well as new methods of planting and cultivation, according to Sugar Facts. The result, as these new developments are adopted by Canadian beet sugar growers, is expected to be an increase in acreage of sugar beets planted and a corresponding' gain in domestic sugar production. Largely dependent on skilled field labour, the beet sugar -industry has 'bean hard hit during the war years by the migration of workers from farm to factory. Efforts to reduce the man-hours required to grow and deliver.a ton. of sugar beets to the factory were made before the war but•recernt progress is even more encouraging. In California beet' harvesters have been so successful :that three-quarters, of the current crop of sugar beets will be harvested mechanically, In Kent County, the centre of Ontario's sugar industry, the use of segmented seecl has relieved much of the tedious work of hand thinning. • With mechanical; harvesters and loading machines there is a further great saving in labour and in a recent test near Chatham' a new type of mechanical loader: proved capable of handling, one ton of sugar beets a minute -a job that ordinarily would, take one man a full hour. In sugar beet farming, mechanization is the answer to how the farmer can grew more with less labour and, greater profit. With sugar strictly rationed throughout the world, every extra pound that, can be produced by better methods or greater incentives, is all to the good.

Vats are passing back and forth on highway No. 1 which goes past our, gate; no sleighs yet but where ever you look there is snow and we call it, winter. A few miles south of us, in the neighborhood of Grand Fdrlcs, Fargo and west to Jamestown, there is no snow. I was up to Langdon, Saturday and while making the rounds 1 bumped intq my, old friend, John Eagleson. John will be remembered by some of. the oldest people back there as he was once a Stanley Township- boy and .I "think hestill has some rela- tives around old Bayfield. Jack looks welland tells me he feels well. He has made good and now at the age of 87 years, three months, he is enjoying the zest that he honestly earned. • Two other men living in Nekoma are Louis Wild. and Percy Packer, both born and raised on the •Sauble Line. (I believe now it's the. Blue Water Highway)—the former in the hardware business andthe latter superintendent of the puiblic school of Nekoma. Both of these, once boys around the Village of Bayfield, have done well and apart from their busi- ness, • own quite a little farm prop erty close in. Wishing the NEWS -RECORD and all in charge good luck and good Health. Nekoma, North Dakota, November 18, 1945 (Signed)—W. E. JOHNSTON.' THE LEGION'S CALL *Issued by the Dominion Executive Council of the Canadian Legion In 1941, when the fate of civiliza- tion was hanging in the balance, we addressed to. the Prime Minister of Canada "Tire Legion's Call for Total War," urging the immediate, complete and scientific mobilization of all our resources — spiritual, intellectual, financial, .agricultural, industrial. Many of its proposals were after- wards carried out by the Government. We now address ourselves to the people of Canada •because Total Victory is still to be won. Victory in the field must be matched by victory at home, over everything that weak- ens and divides the nation. The .things that weaken can be found in every- one; every Canadian, therefore, can start with himself, Every Canadian must •accept lata e eepons bility. our, greatest` task -lies ahead. Total Victory demands a total effort for a new world, worthy of the sacrifice our comrades have made. We, as veterans, believe that we must fight for this new world here in Canada. The Legion issues this Call for Total Victory in the name of the hundreds of thousands of Canadian ~nen and women who, in past wars • and in the war -just ended, have .serv- ed their King and Country. As Canad- ians and members, of the British Em- pire Service League, we are proud of 1 the role played by the British Corn- I inohwealth anis Empire in the strug- gle for freedom and pledge ourselves t o do our part in creating the great moral forces required, -for Total Victory. After the First Great Wan most of us felt thdt our efforts were fin- ished with the winning of the war, Now we know that, the job is not over because military victory has been achieved. The conflict will continue with the forces of good and' evil ar- rayed against each'other, For Can- ada, having won the war of arms, has still to achieve the ideals of peace. Total 'Victory will conte only when these ideals have been.achieved. Our fathers, inspired by a vision' of. ' Canada devoted to the service of God, chose as their motto, "He shall • have dominion from sea to sea.". This is the heritage we have received, and ' on this heritage we must build our nation. The children of our country, who are its greatest potential Wealth, must grow up in this fighting faith They' will then respond to the chal- lenge to live to make their csuntry great. Tltuspurpose will' give them the incentive to learn the dignity of work, the seam of a task well done and the dynamic qualities of team- work. Only thus can national unity be achieved. hundreds of thousands of Houses will need to be built. Yethomes ate more thanhouses, and Canadians have the challenging task of creating the kind of homes and family life that will make this nation strong, clean, united: • To build the Canada we want is Wartime Prices Board Answers Questions Concerning Regulations Q.-We'aie living in our own home but have a sub -tenant upstairs. 1 Want , to .know if I can give thein notice to vacate in the spring as I very much want the use of niy whole house.

Farmers who slaughter meat need not turn in at the end of the month more than half the valid meat coupons in the ration books of their household, * * * Q•. -'How many and what coupons am r allowed for three' threshing meals with fifteen men each meal, and two fall threshing meals with ten men' each meal? A.—If these were submitted at dif- ferent times •as yqur question seems intimate the three meals with lateen'' iin'eriXeMilif 4ould• be :allowed three preserves coupons, three butter coupons and. three meat coupons.

I have been living he this house for nineteen months, the paper is falling off in some places. I Can I. compel her to to paper A. --There aro no regulations of the Wartime prices and Trade Board that can male a landlord paper the rooms. Howver, if the failure to repair results, in a lessening of the accommodatioj,is to the tenant he can make application for a reduction of the rent. 4 * * * Q. --I am paying fifteen dollars a month rent for this, house and I ans told the former tenant only paid ten, who by the way is dead, but her son is still .living.
