New Locker Plant Opening
Is Set For Fri. and Sat.,
Nov. 8th and 9th
An imaginary trip through a lock
er system is perhaps the most illum-
inating way in which its use can be
shown.
Because meat is the most largely
handled product (although numerous
vegetables and fruits are stored as
well) let us follow a carcass from
the time it enters a Plant.
The meat is first brought to the
Plant in carcass er quartered form,
and is chilled in a Chill Room espec-
ially provided for this purpose. All
animal heat is removed here and all
.chances of immediate spoilage dis-
Tosed off. The meat is then cut,
ground etc. as the owner desires. The
various cuts are then wrapped in the
desired quantities in oiled paper and
these packages are labelled with the
locker number, the name of the cut,
the number of pounds, and the date
stored, to make it convenient for the
locker patron to get the desired
package from his locker.. .
Next the packages are taken back
'.:into the Chill Room and when the
cuts have set over nightthe packages
are transferred into the individual
;lockers.
Each locker renter holds a key to
'his own locker and can at any time
•rluritng open hours obtain just what
lie wants. The meat is handled in all
its phases from butchering right to
the locker for a very nominal fee,
but the locker itself is rented an

TO BROADCAST FROM
CLINTON TOWN HALL.
"CKNX Barn Dance" To Be Put On
The Air From The Stage Of. The
Town Hall On Saturday Night
People' of Clinton' and district are
to have the opportuity of witnessing
a radio program as it goes on the air
this Saturday night. For the second
time in a year, CKNX is going to
broadcast from Clinton.
This is the third anniversary year
of the "CKNX Barn Dance," put on
by artists from all parts of Huron
and Bruce and neighbouring counties.
The weekly Barn Dance broadcast•has
become the biggest weekly program
on the station, drawing more fan mail
from listeners than any other.
To celebrate the third anniversary
and give the listeners of the district
an opportunity to see the Barn Danes
put on, CKNX is making .a limited
number of out-of-town appearances
with its troupe of artists, putting on
the broadcast from various centres.
The broadcast from Clinton Town
Hall this Saturday night starts at
7.30 o'clock sharp.
Airmen Much Pleased With
New Surroundings
"We like Canada but the towns
are so far apart. We are a bit lonely;
but we'll get over it," a group of
young English airmen just arrived,
told us, on Saturday, when in the
vicinity of the airport.
When told that the Daughters of
the Empire were going to open a
recreation room in Goderich,' they
were delighted; and their eyes bright-
ened with pleasure when they were
informed that dancing would be one
of the means of entertainment pro-
vided.
Only twol Zlays in Canada, another
pair of older mien who were given a
drive to town, said they were great-
ly impressed by the gardens and the
great open spaces. They contrasted
this with England where every tnah
of ground is used for production. "In.
fact we are dug in there," they said.
The maple trees in all their Autumn
glory are a delight to them. The
opinicn was expressed that the air-
port at Port Albert was ideal for the
purpose for which it is used.
The British people will never give
up. They will hang on until they are
assured of a new order in Europe
where right, not might, will reign.
"The food here is wonderful. Just
fancy bacon and eggs for breakfast!
and to think we can have all we Want
to eat. The kindness of the Canadian
people is amazing," one of the sten
said. Ile is married, and his wife
and children are in England. With
deep longing, he hoped they would
be able to come to Canada. He had
seen service in Africa and while away
his little girl had grown from baby -
hoed to six years of age. "She want-
ed to know who the man was when
I came back. When I return from
this war, my little son may asic the
same question"
The central heating systems of this
country are a joy to the men, and
the fact that lights are here and there
and everywhere is almost unbeliev-
able to them,
want, when you want it, together
with economy are among the more in-
viting features of the system, al-
though it is found that many people
desire to rent a locker for other
reasons, such as the desire of the
fisherman to serve his July catch of
black bass for Christmas breakfast,
or possibly
the hunter wishess
to serve
venison steak to his brother who only
returns home on New Year's.
Use of the cold storage locker sys-
tem is`a new trend of the meat busi-
ness which is being adopited very rap-
idly
in this part of the country. Or-
iginally, it was used as a hard times
project. The locker storage as it is
known today, however, has proven to
have many more advantages besides
economy, even during 'prosperous
years. Clinton is indeed fortunate in
having such a well equipped and mode
ern Plant in,this community.
Before building this Plant Mr.
Batkin thoroughly' investigated the.
•proposition. Inquiries, plus many
trips about the Province to see other
systems, led himto believe that this
type of meat handling would be def-
, initely beneficial to, the community
in general.
While visiting existing locker •stor-
age Plants such as are found in Ex-
eter, Liman, Watford, etc., Mi. Bat -
kin chatted with patrons of these
plants who happened to be visiting
their lockers at the time and here
are :some of the exclamations:
One said: "We have fresh straw-
berries for Christmas dinner!"
Another exclaimed: "Imagine hav-
ing `sweet corn on the cob at Thanks
giving!"•

OBITUARIES
ROGER J. PEPPER
Roger John Pepper died Sunday of
heart failure in his 86th year, after
two weeks' illness, in Clinton Hos-
pital. He was of English parentage,
son of Mr, and Mrs. John Pepper,
and was born in Fullerton, Perth
County, on April 14,1855. Ile mar-
Tied Mary Fairbairn on April 16, 1370
and they farmed in Tuckersnnith
township. In 1918, they retired and
resided in Clinton, where Mrs. Pepper
died three years later. In 1924, he
married Matilda, widow of Henry.
Carter, who survives.. There are four'
sons, John, in Stanley township.;
Fred, Albert and Roy, in Tucker -
smith; two daughters, Mrs. Frank
Layton, of Clinton, and Mrs. Howard
Crich, of Tuekersmith; also 22 grand-
children and; nine great grandchild-
ren. There also survive a sister, Mrs.
Williams Aberhart, of Seaforth, moth-
er of Hon. William Aberhart, prem-
ier of Alberta, and a half-sister, Mrs.
Annie Richardson, of Toronto, last of
a family of nine.
Roger Pepper had once served his
township as councilor and was known
as one of the prosperous farmers of
that section. He was Liberal in poli-
tics and. Methodist and United church
in. religion.
A private funeral service was held
from the residence, Victoria street,
on Tuesday, Oct. 29th. Interment in
Clinton cemetery.
A heavy duty truck etackerl high
with maple logs for a Goderich trill
drew over to the curb on Huron St,
No. 8 highway, just over the main
intersection in Clinton and was soon
surrounded by a group of people.
It was not the tru-k or the logs,
however, that attraceed attention, but
just back of the cab there lay the
carcass of a wolf. Tee load had come
from a wood lot north of Lucknow
and while passing through some tim-
ber the animal was seen to dash out
and in attempting eo cross the road
was caught by the heavily loaded
truck.
It was one of the smaller species
of wolf about the size of a full grown
collie dog, but quite definitely wolf.
And just to prove that Ileron
County still has within its boundaries
plenty of wild game, two deer were
seen by Lloyd Stock to bound across
No. 8 highway in fro,it of his car as
he drove 'in from flolmeeville. The
deer had been browsing in a grove
of young maples in a roadside field
a mile and a half west of town and
evidently became startled.
It has been said by some farmers
that deer are becoming too numerous
in the county and are detrimental
to field crops. ,

DR. WILLIAM D•QUGLAS SWAN
Dr. William Douglas Swan, surgeon
lieutenant-comamnder R.C.N.V.R., of
Hamilton, and one of the city's most
popular physicians passed away, af-
ter a protracted illness, at his home,
78 Amelia street.
Dr. Swan had been connected with
the navy since the last war, having
served as sub -lieutenant R.N.V.R. ov-
erseas from 1917 to 1919. After the
close of the war he was on the staff
of the Brant Military hospital, at
Burlington, for two years, and in
1923 began to practise medicine in
Hamilton at his office, which was lo-
cated for some years at the. corner
of Grant Avenue and King Street.
As medical officer of the local Royal
Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve
Dr. Swan had given distinguished ser-
vice untie his illness a year ago, and
in 1934, when promoted to the rank
of surgeon -lieutenant commander,
was the third medical officer in the
reserve in Canada to receive this
rank and the first officer in the local
division to become a lieutenant -com-
mander.
Dr. Swan was born in Brumfield,

liant scholastic career, passing his

FIRST YEAR OF WAR SEES
FEWER PEOPLE ON RELIEF
STAR GAZER SEES WAR END
IN NOVEMBER
Peace -Tine Astrologer, Now Copk in
Arany, Predicts Downfall"of Hitler
Regime Next Month
SOMEWIIERE IN ENGLAND --
The
The long -threatened German invasion
of Great Britain will be launched in
October... the Nazis will be decisiv-
ely defeated and their present rulers
overthrown by internal revolution ...
peace will come by Nov. 11 of this
Year .'.. and the majority of the
Canadian army overseas will be back
with their loved ones by Christmas.
Take it for what it is worth, but
the information written in the stars
and planets is offered without charge
by Pte. Hugh Blackwood Price of
Vancouver, B.C., a peace -time astrol-
oger who practiced for 14 years under
the name of "Professor Cosmo." He
was residing in Windsor, Ont., when
%vat broke out and came overseas
with a Western Ontario Scottish bat-
talion.
The "Professor," now cooking for
the officer's mess of the regiment,
claims his latest study of the heav-
enly bodies had disclosed many other
things to come of far-reaching con-
sequence. Among the major de-
velopments he foresaw:
1—The United States at war with
Japan before the end of October.
2—Mussolini and King Carol, for-
mer ruler of truncated Rumania as-
sassinated before the end of the year.
3—Great Britain and Ethiopia, the
only nations ruled by a king after
the present war is brought to a close.
Furthermore the soldier -astrologer
is convinced that Hitler is dead and
that the Fuehrer's mantle has fallen
on the shoulders of his "blubbery'
lieutenant, Marshal Hermann Goer-
ing. Hitler, he claims died a violent
death sometime around Aug. 20.
"All the signs now go to show that
Britain's planets are in the ascend-
ancy and that Germany's are most
unfavorable," Pte. Price declared.
"Nevertheless, the German war
lords will go ahead with their plans
to invade England. They will make
the attempt under cover of fog by
air as well as sea. But the attack
will fail and as a result will rise in
revolt and the war will be over by
Nov. 11."
(A fellow=astrologer in the same
regiment, C.Q.M.S. R. H. Ho•stend,
Windsor, also predicts an early defeat
of Germany, but fixed the date for
the war to end on Nov. 15.)
Price says that part of the German
invading force will succeed in estab-
lishing a foothold on the shores of
Enalancl, but that it will be annihil-
ated and those trying to cross will
be "blown out to the sea."
The collapse of Germany will be
followed by widespread revolt and un-
rest in countries which have been
brought under Nazi domination. Ger-
many would be split up into separate
states never to rise again as a world
power, but peace would not reign
throughout the world again, Pte.
Price said, until 'May 1943, or 44
months after the outbreak of the
present: war.
"Then we shall at last begin to en-
joy all that life was meant to be," he:
added. "A new economic structure
will emerge from the revolution.
through which we are passing, bring
contentment and prosperity to the
world. Neither, we nor our children's
children will ever see war again."

In the first year of the war, the
number of persons on relief in Can-
ada dropped 53.7 per cent., according
to statistics published in the Labor
Gazette.
At the end of August there were
872,000 persons on relief in Canada,
which was a decrease o118.3 per cent
from the previous month and a de-
crease of 51.8 per cert frons last
March, the peak for the calendar year
so fez.
Unemployed but fully employable
on relief at the end of August total-
led 79,500, a decrease of 21.2 per cent
from the revised July total, 44.1 per
cent below tine August, 1935 figure
and 54 per cent below March, 1940,
the peak for :this. calendar year.
Non-agricultural relief was being
received by 323,000 at the end of
August, a decrease of 18 per cent
-from July and 40.7 per cent from the
previous year.
Agricultural relief continued to
show a major decline from the year
before, following improved crop con-
ditions on the Prairies. A farm pop-
ulation. of 49,000 was on agricultural
relief in August, which was 20.1 per
cent less than August, 1939. Sask-
atchewan alone showed a decrease of
85.4 per cent from August, 1939. The
Saskatchewan total of 32,500 persons.
on agricultural relief in August was
two-thirds•of the total of that cate-
gory.
Relief figures for August, 1939,
showed a total of 802,652 persons re-

FAVORS CONSCRIPTION the Mobilisation Act of 1940. It was
OF WEALTH, INDUSTRY drawn on almost identical words to
the British Emergency Powers Act.
"The C.C.F. members endeavored
to force the government to amend it
so that it would be used first to mob-
ilize Canadian industry and wealth.
So far the only uses made of the act
are the registration of our adult citi-
zens and the calling out of various
young men for military training.
"While opposed to consription of
men for overseas service, the G.C.F.
members' of parliament were prepar-
ed to recognize the desirability of
mobolizing our man power for the
defence of our homeland and demo-
cratic institutions provided that
wealth and industry were mobilized
also at the same time and in the
same manner."
M. J. Coldwell, member of parlia-
ment for Rosetown-Biggar and mi-
tional chairman of the Co-operative
Commonwealth Federation Tuesday
appealed. to the Dominion government
to follow the example of the British
administration which, he said, can be
trusted to "struggle valiantly until
the menace of Nazi and Fascist op
pression has been removed from the
world."
In an address before the opening
session• of the sixth national G.C.F.
convention, PIr. Coldwell milled upon
the" Canadian government to con-
script, in addition to manpower, all
wealth and industry as has been dose
by Great Britain. He urged Canad-
ians to deliver themselves `Prom the
turn to the realistic truth that all
wealth is in goods."
Mr. Coldwell recalled that the first
act of Prime Minister Churchill's
government when it assumed power
last May was to enact the Emerg-
ency Powers' Act which gave it the
power to mobilize industry, wealth,
resources and labor power under na-
tional ownership and control for the
war effort."
"Already thousands of (British)
industries have been mobilized under
this act. It was not a military con-
scription act for already months be-
fore the British government had re-
ceived the power to conscript men
and had exercised it. The Emergency
Powers "Act gave them similar power
over in—where is rest of this article
over industry and wealth,

parliament passed on act known as
