The Clinton News Record, 1943-10-28, Page 6PAGE 6 5 TEEMING BOWL R By ANNE ALLAN '►. Hydro Home Economist Hello Homemakers! Memories of hilarious Hallowe'en pranks made us wonder what the younger generation May think of next. The initiative and energy of the kids who go out witch- ing on the 30th of October may prove. expensive when we try to find a han- dyman to repairthe night's damage. Before the war many organizations sponsored "magic" parties; house- holders bought candies and nuts to shell out to youthful masqueraders • and mothers held candy-rnalcing par- ties in -,the homes. This year amateur vandalism and oodles of candies and nuts, or ingredients to make candies are "out." Many have already made plains for HaIlowe'en, Organizations have planned war service campaigyts. Householders in some localities are purchasing printed Milk for Britain tickets and the customed teams are to receive these as their loot, turn them into the school or place of meeting where the children may gather for a chaperoned , party. After all, what would Hallowe'en be without grandma's dress or father's ' pants to disguise you. Such fun as costume parades, bobbing for apples and pin -the -tail -on -the -donkey until the masquerade is over, will conclude another memorable Hallowe'en.

Its war services, including the pro- vision ofscripturesfor all on active service for prisoners of war and in- terned aliens, .have become one of its chief channels for the distribution of Holy Writ. In Canada alone over half a million copies of a specially pre- pared New Testament have been sup- plied by the Chaplains Services for melt and women on active service. Announcement is made through the Executive Committee of the Clinton Branch of the Bible Society that in co-operation with the ministers of the community Sunday, October 31st. will be observed as a Bible Society Sunday pregratory to the usual canvass.

Int addition to the above, the special Names Division have a quota of $150,- 000., (that is, those purchasers of $25,000 and over). Mr. G. L.

Through the agricultural committee of the County Council, hog producers of Huron County will in a few days make representations to Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Dominion minister of agri- culture, to have the floor price of dressed hogs at Toronto pegged at $20 per cwt. Warden Benson W. Tuckey, T. C. Wilson and Alex Alexander will go as a deputation to Ottawa as soon as an audience date can be obtained. At a meeting held in Clinton on Thursday night, called by Dr. H. Tay . Lor, M.P.P., for South Huron, this ac- tion was decided upon. Others pre- sent were L. R. Cardiff, M. P., North Huron; John Hanna, M.P.P., Huron- Bruce; members of the county agri cultural committee and about 40 lead- ing hog breeders. Fears were expressed by Dr. Tay- lor as to what is to become of the hog industry in Huron which is the second largest producing county in Ontario, if the present decline con- tinues. He and other speakers view- ed with alarm the increasing sale of brood sows caused by the existing feed situation. Dr. Taylor warned, however, that the question must be approached from a national, not a lo• cal standpoint. He stated he ;Rd given the question some study, and had been to Ottawa. Figures were quoted to show that sales of brood sows to packing hous- es this year increased 120 per cent. One farmer who had 62 brood sows last year has only eleven this year. On seine farms the number had been reduced—from fifteen to eight. A marked falling off in production in. 1944 was predicted. W. L. Whyte a member of the provincial commission at present in- vestigating the status of agriculture, gave some figures on production costs. He said Huron supplied one- eighth of Ontario's total hog supply and any decrease in Huron would be a serious matter. J. C. Shearer agricultural repre- sentative, Reeves Frayne, Bothwell, McCann, Alexander and Wilson also were speakers. NEWS -RECORD THURS., ` OCT. 2$, 1943 LOU NEILLY West Gwillimbury Township Simcoe County T'he picture at the tipper right shows Mr. Neilly with his wife and two yoatger sots. vtmez... Father of FIi RVictory Bonds VeJfe • Lou Neilly is a typical Ontario farmer with 85 acres just north of Bradford. Two of the Neilly sons joined the R.C.A.F. One son was killed in service. The other is a Flight -Lieutenant on active service. A bond buyer himself, Lou Neilly personally sold $200,000 worth of Victory Bonds in the first four loans to people of his own township. When Lou Neilly leans across a fence and chats with neighbors he often talks about Victory Bonds, and that it's everybody's duty to buy them. He says something like this bis message to yon: "The biggest chore in my life is doing what I can to win this war. I want ray son and his pals, your sons, to get everything they need to do their job over there—wherever they are. I want too, to put aside what savings I can into Victory Bonds to give my oldest boy a fresh start when he takes off his uniform. You can put savings a great many places, but there is only one place where your savings will give our boys in service the help they need now. Everybody' knows that Victory Bonds are as good as dollar bills --and that you can borrow on rl.e% any time you need cash—but we should buy .bonds as our duty to our fighting men."
