Farnham is visiting wit friends in Toronto. Mrs. F. Axon has returned after a visit with friends and relatives in Mitchell. Due to the heavy fall of snow last week and the roads being blocked people stayed at home over the week end. This week Mrs. N. W. Trewartha is away visiting her two daughters, Mrs. (Rev.) A. P.

Shearer, agricultural represen- tative, told Huron County Council on Friday afternoon in an address that since 1939 the ,farriers of Canada have contributed 200,000 men to the armed forces and to industry. The lab- or situation was the main problem confronting the farmers, who have been asked by the government to in- crease production all along the line. He did not think any relief would come to mixed farmers, and offered various suggestions—to use Italian prisoners, colored people from the West Indies, internees, Those he said, would probably be sent to cashcrop areas, pnd the mixed farmers of Hur- on and elsewhere would again have to depend on their women and children and assistance from urban areas. Mr. Shearer compared the prices of farm produce today with 25 years ago. During the last. war they, were trebled and quadrupled. Wheat then was $2.10 a bushel; beans, then $8.25 a bushel, today $1.40. Butter shows the only comparable price at 38 cents a pound•. Sheep flocks have been increased to an extent of 25 per cent ,and this will be required this year. Hog. pro- duction in the county had increased. Earlier seeds will be available this year, and the use of these was urged; and he stressed the value of instruc- tion nstruction in the care of farm machinery.

The roll call to be and wered by first aid suggestions, My Trip Across the Ocean First of all we took the train from our camp to an eastern embarkation point and then marched to the dock where we had to stand in line for about an hour before being marehed onto the huge boat. Then we were taken to our sleeping quarters and all given a hammock to sleep , in which we thought would be hard to rest in after sleeping in a soft bed. But when it came bedtime every sold- ier was up in his hammock and before you Would finally get to sleep some person would fall out of his ham- mock and therefore he would find the floor better for the rest of the night. So before the journey was over; we all used the floor, finding it so much safer. In the daytime we were allowed to go out on deck and smoke or read. We also kept meeting fellows from small towns back home and talked about our good dances back there. 'We also could see large fish jumping out of the water. They were called porpoises. It sure was very interesting. But when blackout time carte we were not allowed out on deck, so always went inside and played cards. c d - 'expect we will have a very, good time as we can go skating and always In the mornings we always rushed for the deck to see if we could sight land—but no luck, water as usual! But the seventh morning was the lucky morning —we could see land which gave us all a happy feeling• and it wasn't long until we reached our port. But the first thing we took notice of was the Red Caps as usual —military police and soldiers don't care for them as we always have to take to many short cuts to keep clear of them. So now we are waiting to get off the boat and all of a sud- den we get orders to pack up. Then we are marched off the boat and given a little bag of lunch to take with us while we rode in the train. First of all we marched up to the buses and then we were driven to the train depot. The buses seemed quite funny to us as they Were double deckers but very comfortable and, as we rode along we spotted some places where Jerry had bonihed—and it sure is a shame. So now we are to the station. Alter one hour we were load- ed at last and get settled down into a very comfortable seat. At last we pulled away for our destination, but still didn't know just where we were going and too tired to be thinking of it. But while we rolled along, it was getting on to blackout time, then the blinds in the train had to conte down, so we all fell asleep. It wasn't long before we were awakened and giv- en a very good cup of tea which was deeply appreciated by us all. We all went to sleep again and about three o'clock in the morning we carie to a dead stop and then ordered to bail out. And was ib every raining! But we didn't mind a little think like that. So we all lined up and marched to trucks which were close by and ord- ered to embus and taken to our des- tination where we had to debus. By this time we were awfully tired and ready to settle down in any corner. But before going to bed, we were ta- ken to the cook house and given lunch which went very well. Thento bed and were told we could sleep with noon, which we all thought was a good idea. So when dinner time came we were all up, got washed and shaved and ate, ready to take on our duties. But the place was strange al- right! So now I will tell you what I think of England as far as I have seen it. The scenery is very nice, pretty Iawns and splendid buiklitigs, bet old. Jerry has ruined a few of the most beautiful buildings they have here. Most houses are built with bricks, and well put together and have been standing for a good num- ber of years. I was up to London on my first leave and I sere had a good tine—treated well by all. The first place I " went was'. Trafalgar Square and just around the corner stood the Beaver Club, so I had to see it. It sure is e lovely building and well fixed' inside and also sup- plied .with good looking girls (wait- resses) who are kept very busy with 'not much . time for pleasure. From there I went to see. Buckingham'ace which was very .interesting and also Big Ben and many move interest- ing places., So I thought i had done Very well on short leave.
