MATCH NOTES J. A. Carroll and members of the executive of the Ontario Plowmen's Association have inspected the site for the 1942 International Plowing Match and have found it to be highly satisfactory. In fact they feel it is one of the finest locations the Inter- national has ever enjoyed. They feel quite certain that this fact will have a great deal to do with the success of the match. 4,500 acres of level land of an excellent type for plowing is being adapted to the purposes of the In- ternational. The fanners who are gratuitously giving their farms have planned their crops for this year so as to give the fullest co-operation to the purpose of the match. Thousands of people will come flooding into Hullett township in Hu- ron county. They will require food and' lodging. They will leave an en- ormous amount of money with the people •of Huron county. They will take away with them also a new idea of the capacity of this banner coun- ty in the scheme of food production for war purposes because the diree- 1 tors plan on having a county exhibit on the grounds. New pledges of support to the In- ternational Plowing Match are com-1 ing in every day. The Huron county Federation of Agriculture has pledg- ed one hundred per cent. support. In some quarters there have been dissenting voices in connection with the match. The fact that the Ontario government, recognizing the gravity of world events, considers that the plowing match has a definite and im- portant role to play in helping the farmers of Canada become acquaint- ed with labor saving devices seems to be reasonable justification for the devotion of 'all energies to making this plowing match one of the great- est in the history of the International Reforestation Scheme. It is expected that one of the main educational features of the Interna- tional Plowing Match will be the ex- periment in reforestation. With wa- ter shortages looming up as a more serious problem each year this fea- ture will be especially appreciated. The experiment will be designed as a means of showing individual farm- ers how they can help themselves and at the same time help prevent the inroads of erosion and bad floods. Hybrid corn which is rapidly be- coming the answer to the problems of many corn -growers will be dem- onstrated also it is expected at the International The various varieties will be planted and each will be con- veniently labelled. It is echo hoped to have actual de- monstrations of farm machinery de- signed to be labor-saving working on crops especially planted for the pur- pose. This will do the greatest bene - fit because those present can see the machines working and they will be able to form an impression of how each one can help them overcome various problems on the farm. J. C. SHEARER ADDRESSES Continued Front Page One are still operating farms and that in nearly every case women and irls were doing men's work for which they received no pay.

A Soldier's Prayer. -This prayer kindly sent to us by a correspondent to whom it is connected with memor- ies of the loss of a young brother and a V.C. cousin in the Boer war, was written by the late Archbishop Alexander for the use of the troops in South Africa It so exactly express- ed the faith and feeling of Lord Roberts that he had it printed at his own cost and sent it to all his offic- ers, asking them to distribute it to all ranks. ' To "Tommy" the fact that it was sent to him by his belov- ed "Bobs" meant so much it came to be known as Lord Roberts' prayer. Many will be glad to copy it for their loved ones at the front: "Almighty God, I have often Sinn-., ed against thee, Oh wash me in the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God, Fill me with Thy Holy Spirit that I may lead a new life. Spare me to see again those that •I love at home, or fit me for Thy presence in peace. Strengthen us to quit ourselves like men in our right and just cause. Keep us faithful until death, Calm in danger, Patient in suffering; Mer- ciful as well as brave, True to our Icing, our Country and colors." JAW BONES FROM RIBS New noses, new cheek bones, new jaws, built up for the most part from the owner's ribs are among the achievements of plastic surgeons in Britain's hospitals to -day. Although the heaviest air "blitz" hills or mains only a fraction.of the total estimated before the Luftwaffe came, the proportion receiving facial injuries is high. Thirty years ago many of these mutilations would have been beyond remedy. To -day the plastic surgeon can virtually re- store most of the features' to normality. Iie will graft as much as a hen.d- real square inches of skin from One Part of the patient's body to an- other. A section of rib, six inches long, becomes a jawbone. A woman smiling to greet a friend does so thanks to the section of sciatic nerve that keeps normal a face which would have been permanently twist- ed by deep glass wounds.

A Soldier's Prayer. -This prayer kindly sent to us by a correspondent to whom it is connected with memor- ies of the loss of a young brother and a V.C. cousin in the Boer war, was written by the late Archbishop Alexander for the use of the troops in South Africa It so exactly express- ed the faith and feeling of Lord Roberts that he had it printed at his own cost and sent it to all his offic- ers, asking them to distribute it to all ranks. ' To "Tommy" the fact that it was sent to him by his belov- ed "Bobs" meant so much it came to be known as Lord Roberts' prayer. Many will be glad to copy it for their loved ones at the front: "Almighty God, I have often Sinn-., ed against thee, Oh wash me in the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God, Fill me with Thy Holy Spirit that I may lead a new life. Spare me to see again those that •I love at home, or fit me for Thy presence in peace. Strengthen us to quit ourselves like men in our right and just cause. Keep us faithful until death, Calm in danger, Patient in suffering; Mer- ciful as well as brave, True to our Icing, our Country and colors." JAW BONES FROM RIBS New noses, new cheek bones, new jaws, built up for the most part from the owner's ribs are among the achievements of plastic surgeons in Britain's hospitals to -day. Although the heaviest air "blitz" hills or mains only a fraction.of the total estimated before the Luftwaffe came, the proportion receiving facial injuries is high. Thirty years ago many of these mutilations would have been beyond remedy. To -day the plastic surgeon can virtually re- store most of the features' to normality. Iie will graft as much as a hen.d- real square inches of skin from One Part of the patient's body to an- other. A section of rib, six inches long, becomes a jawbone. A woman smiling to greet a friend does so thanks to the section of sciatic nerve that keeps normal a face which would have been permanently twist- ed by deep glass wounds.
