At the nearest Local Ration Board office in your district. Q. -My garageman postponed fixing my car three times to do work on two commercial trucks., Can he do this? A.—Yes. Repair jobs on commercial•' trucks have priority on the gar- ageman's tine. Car owners hold- ing an A.A. ration book are in the last category. Q.—Do you think' it is right to freeze stocks of canned milk, .when it is needed for babies? A.—Mothers will be able to buy ample;. supplies of canned milk. However, they must first get a permit from the Prices Board, establishing their need for this. commodity. Q.—My. husband' and I have a small Plants growl front, the Bounty to - and are good anytime up, until January 31. Q,—As farmers, do we have to have a permit to. transport our milk and cream. to .market? A.—No. Farmers using their own ve- hiele and transporting their own produoe are exempt from the ruling which required all : other trackers of milk and ,cream to secure a permit, by January 31.

The ,demand for railway cars will be beyond the available supply, consequently it will be difficult for the railways to give the customary prompt service on feed grain deliver- ies from. Western Canada. To protect supplies for distribution to feeders, the Board urges planning orders for grain as far in advance as possible and recommends local dealers to keep their storage space full. Floor prices offer protection to the buyer. The. important point is always to have feed grain available ahead so that demands from farmers for feed may be met and vital livestock production encouraged and assisted.

The Bounty appears to be slightly The Latest in Conscription (Editorial in Globe and Mail, Jan, 9) There seems to be no depth to which Mr, King's Government; will not sink to put off the day of the "unrestricted selective draft, for the active forces. Pressures of all sorts have been :ap- plied to civilians who are doing vital war work. Pressure at the home de- fense camps is well known. But the newest is one that any honest demo- crat ought to be thoroughly' ashamed of. I ,`, ;u ''_ rlagal Yesterday's newspaper carried this dispatch by the Canadian Press from Ottawa: "As a result of the recent army decision to accept enlistment of 18 -year-old' youths for overseas ser- vice, the Federal Civil Service has de- cided that no physically fit male ea. ployee now under the age of 18 may be retained in the Government employ after his 18th birthday, it was, learned today. "Hundreds of youths now employed as office boys' and Grade 1 .clerks, and in the capacities, will be automa- tically dismissed when they become 18, officials. said." The draft for active service, no. The fair and democratic method of call- ing men, no. Effective conscription, no. But this trick of forcing those who just reach the age of 1$ to go acti-e, yes. Just visualize what will happen if private industry takes the lead given by Ottawa. No boy of 18 will be ,able to hold a job.. To eat, he will have to enlist for active service. Is there anything more despicable than con- scription by starvation? Gan any one imagine a youth having any respect for Parliament, for democratic sys- tem, when he sees those who are in the Government refusing to do the honest thing, but willing to sink to the worst sort of backdoor methods of getting the lads on active service? In the name of everything that is decent, where is the honesty in this? If a boy reaches the age of ' 18 and his family can afford to keep him without working he does not have to enlist. But if he reaches the age of 18 and has to work there will be none for him. Only the active forces. The boy whose parents need not send him to work can stay at home until he is 19. Then he can be drafted for an army that is forbidden to leave Cana- da and fight where the enemy is. How long can this fantastically dis- honest policy continue?

V WINTER HILLS • The great hills soar like mighty seas Where blue horizons dimly rise— White seas whose rolling billows break In silence on the northern skies. Lilco some mysterious oceans held In flight' by magic word' or spell The far slopes pause as if to wait The spring's releasing miracle. The patient valley roads reveal No wonder at the white seas' flight; Dark valleys hold their ancient peace And silently the brooks' unite. Alone, with question pointed high A farmhouse chimney's, lilac spray Fingers the sky's immensity To feel' the wonder of the day! Arthur Wallace Peach In an interview with Mr. 1?': Fing- land K. a, Chairman of the Clinton Christmas Seal Committee of Queen Alexandra Sanatorium, Colonel Ware the Secretary of the Central London Committee said that, while ,Clinton has now exceeded by a few dollars the amount raised last year, the com- niittee was considerably short of the objective of $125.00, which it was hoped Clinton would this year con- tribute. Colonel Ware however pointed out that the camapign does nob close un- til the Fifteenth of February and he felt confident that many who have not yet answered their appeal letter would do so before that date, in order that Clinton will do its share In the support of that glreat Institution which is doing so much in the care, treatment and prevention of Tuber- culosis. V WINTER LULLABY This is a lullaby for those. who goto sleep in furry clothes. Silver mouse and baggy bear-- the bear—the smell of snow is in the air! Rusty -woodchuck, Mumble down your hillside passageway. Striped brown small chipmunk, 'pewter -color- ed squirrel, soon the feathery stars will whirl over the yellow -littered wood, the gold -eyed great horned owl will brood watchful on the naked bough. Shy -hearted creatures; slumber now, curled and deep and safe from harm. Sleepy mole and badger, 'hid and warm. This is a winter song for those who dream beneath the drifted snows. It was pointed out that Seal con- tribtuions are never late, The money raised by the Christmas seal. works all the year around. Last year for the first time in many years the death rate from Tuberculosis showed an increase over the previous year, a condition we : must face and `fight against during the war years and the post war period which will follow. Colonel Ware also reminded. Mr Fingland of the fact' that Queen Alex- andra Sanatorium is a purely West - 0111 Ontario Institution, not affiliat- ed with any city and that consequent- ly it does' not share in the Communi- ty. Chest' or Welfare Funds' of Lon- don, Stai'tford, Goderich nor any oth- er of the seven cities of the Sana- torium,District. The fund depends en- tirely on the loyalty of those to whom the Christmas Sealswere mailed, v SONG OF STAR In my heart a silver symphony Of stars is breaking And making' Music that is ]mown To 1ne. alone.

TO PILGRIMS By Audrey Alexandra Brown Take Beauty for your bread: Beauty's not far to seek; When the soul is weak For want of being fed— Find it the manna given In lovely solitude; Find it in the precious food Daily dropped from heaven. Gather your strength and go Where there is none to guard, Through meadows many -starred With whiter flowers than snow. Look at the sea's ellipse, On whose celestial glass Pass and again re -pass The slant sails of the ships. Walk where the hare has trod, Taste where the moth has fed; Take Beauty for your bread From the stretched hand of God. —«--V A PERSONAL PRAYER S.

And echoes, repeat over mountain ands, main: The morn of redemption is hastening on; Blew, Bugles of Britain, and herald. the Dawn! People have generally three epochs in their confidence in man. In the first they believe him to be every- thing that is goods and they are lavish with their friendship and confidence, In the next they have had experience which has smitten down their confi- dence, and they then have to be careful not to mistrust every one and to put the worst construction -up- on everything. Later in life they learn that the greater number of men have ni.uch more good in •them than bad, and that even when there is cause to blame there is more reason to pity than condemn; and then a spirit of confidence again awakens within them.-Fr'edrika Bremer.
