A total of 8159 people purchased Victory Bonds in the third Victory Loan compared with 6035 in the se- cond and 4428 in the first, Victory Loan. While residents are to be con- gratulated on this splendid response to the drive, it'was stressed that still more money is urgently required. Organizer of the intermediate cam- paign in Huron and Perth Counties will be H. . J. Vandewater of Kitchen- er who was organizer for Huron County in the last two Victory Loan Drives, Mr, Vandewater will have his Headquarters for Huron County in the Post Office Building, Goderioh, loaned by the Department of Customs and Excise through the kindness of Mr. IL S. Turner. Headquarters. for Perth County will be located at 30 Ontario Street, Stratford. In making his announcement Mr, McMurray -referred to the tremendous increase in the National income which has advanced from 54,130,000 in. 1938 to 57,500,000 for the present year. "Unless this increase is made avail- able to finance the war in the form of taxes or purchase of 'war savings and Victory Bonds the country is faced with a disastrous inflation which would not only increase living costs substantially but would be detri- mental to the winning of the war," be said. Mr. McMurray explained that it is intended to conduct a publicity camn- paigh through the press and radio byi the distribution of literature and, through speakers. Every attempt will be made to keep before the public the necessity of greater savings and the curtaihnent of non-essential spending, War Savings Certificates and Stamps are available to all Banks and Post Offices and Stamps are on sale though stores, schools and news boys. Mr. R. K. Wuutele presided at an enthusiastic meeting of the War Sav- ings Stamp Committee in Clinton Wednesday of last week at which plans were made to increase the sale of 'stamps during the next fete months. Mr. Wurtole especially com- mended the school children for the splendid results achieved, V Huron County Farm Mechanics Courses The Huron County Farm Mechanics Courses sponsored and arranged by the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture Clinton, the Huron Federatipn of Agriculture and the Agricultural Committee of tate County Council will be held for two clays at different dis- tricts throughout the county.

CHARLES LOVETT Mrs. Mary Jane Lovett, widow of Charles Lovett, died at her home here on Friday, January 15th, Site was in her 87th year and had 'been ill for several weeks. A native of Hullett Township on the base line near Clinton, Mrs. Lovett was a dau- ghter of tate late .William Ball and Ann (Gorbutt)I Ball, and had lived all her life in this locality. On the 29th of November 1883, she married Charles Lovett, by whom she was pre- deceased in September 1927. They farmed in Goderich Township for up- ward of fifty years. Twenty-nine years ago they retired and resided in Olin ton. There survive two sons, William Lovett, on the homestead farm; Jam- es of Clinton; three daughters, Mrs. Gordon Johnston, St. Catharines; Mrs. Frank Lobb, and .Mrs, Howard• Wil- liams, Clinton; 17 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. A son, Albert passed away 10 years ago. There also survive one brother, Ephriam Ball, and two sisters, Mrs. George Sturdy, and Mrs, James Raith- by of Auburn. Mrs. Lovett was a member of St. Paul's Anglican church where she had been active inthe women's organizations until failing health prevented. The many beautiful floral tributes showed the high esteem inwhichthe deceased was held. The funeral was held from the fam- ily residence on Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. Rev, 0. Moore, rector of -St. Paul's conducted the service, follow- ing which interment took place in Clinton Cemetery, The pallbearers were three sons-in-law, Gordon John- ston, Howard Williams, Frank Lobb, and three nephews, Nelson Hill, Harry Sturdy and George Mains, V JOHN STURDY Word has been received. of the death at his home in Swastika, Ont„ on December 15th of John Sturdy, a former resident of Goderich, where he was a C.

Those are suggestions from Edith Berry, clothing specialist, O,hiq; State university, who says wpmen with nimble fingers can have attrac- tive wardrobes witjioyt lauxigg many new gabmenta., The pertinent questions to ask When considering the remodeling of clothes are whether the seamstress has the time . and skill, how much the remodeling • will cost, and whether the completed garment will be satisfactory,. Most women will be content with changing the minor. details of garments to give them a freshened appearance. ! New collars, recut necklines, wide necklines filled with lace or fabric frills, refitted shoulders or armscyes, changing waistlines, streamlining skirts, and reshaping sleeves are tasks within the ability of most women. The cost of these changes can be kept down, and the remodeled garment will have a changed and pleasing appearance. Remodeling jobs that involve rip- ping out the old garment, cleaning the fabric, and recutting the cloth require more experience in sewing. The work becomes more difficult if the fabric is worn in spots so allow- ances have to be made for this con- dition in'recutting. Gardeners Should Not Be Discouraged by Leaf Loss If wind, hail, or insects strip half or even more of the leaves from vegetable crops at this season, vic- tory gardeners should not be dis- couraged. Under favorable conditions, the damaged plants still will produce a good crop. Storms are hazards which market gardeners continually face, and in- sects have to be kept under con- trol, he added. The recovery which plants are able to make from appar- ent ruin is remarkable, and in some cases they seem to be benefited by hard usage. Yields of snap beans in tests con- ducted in 1939 and again in 1940 were actually improved when one- fourth or even one-half of the leaves of the plants were removed during the growing season, Dr. Stout point- ed out. In 1939 when no leaves were removed, the yield was 307 bushels per acre. When one-fourth of the leaves were picked off on May 30, the yield was 269 bushels, but when one-fourth of the leaves were re- moved from other plots on Tune 5 and 13, yields were 329 and 330 bush- els respectively. Loss of foliage also has been test- ed on tomatoes by Dr. Stout. In no case has the reduction in yield been so great as the loss of leaves unless the plants have been two- thirds defoliated or more. ti Rattler Sheddings Our rattler sheds his skin three times during the summer season and is always dangerous during these sheddings when, it is said, a film covers the eyes and impairs its vision. Throughout this period it is very irritable and is likely to strike at anything—even a waving reed. Another general belief is that the rattlesnake always gives the warn- ing sound before striking. While this is his usual custom, it has been known to lash out without warning. And` while on the subject of the rattle, no one really knows its pur- pose. Certainly it is not intended to warn prey of his presence because that would place it at a decided dis- advantage in foraging for food. It has been suggested that perhaps it is used during the mating period to locate their kind. While they have no external ears, they are not ac- tually deaf and probably half hear and feel these vibrations. Rich Again They've struck it rich again in California. ThiS strike is just across the valley from the gold fields of '49, and it yields, not nuggets, but fossils. University of California scientists have come across an ancient river bed where thousands of prehistoric animals were mired in quicksand and perished. Solidified and tilted on edge by some later convulsion of nature, the resulting sandstone now streaks across the landscape as a five -foot -wide "vein," and is being mined just as the Argonauts mined gold -bearing quartz. The animal remains are probably 7,000,000 years old, says R. A. Stir - ton, curator of mammals in the uni- versity's museum of paleontology. r Hard on Eyes of Children Comic books, now read by millions of American children, impose se -4 vere visual tasks on young eyes, ac- cording to an article in the Sight - Saving Review. The lettering "is commonly poor and of small size. The printing and paper are general- ly of poor quality. In addition to these undesirable qualities, the let- tering often possesses a colored back- ground which reduces the contrast and therefore, further reduces the, visibility of the lettering. In many O. these books," it is pointed out, "small body -type is used to print paragraphs and even full pages. Unless' comic books can be greatly improved from the viewpoint of vis- ibility and readability. tkgy should' sot survive." • 1 THURS., JAN,, 21, 1943.,' 6.000.000 RING THAT BELL!
