Dear Sir,—A word of praise is
due the Plowing Match officers who
are bravely carrying on. They have
not been discouraged by difficulty.
The tire and gas situation, grown
acute in the past six mouths, and the
shortage of help on the farms might
have been insurmountable obstacles
to lots of exeentives. I Inn glad to
know that preparations still go ahead
for the great event. Let us all get
behind it and boot!

CUPBOARD
QUISLING!
"Cupboard Quislings" ! Is that too hard a name for
people who selfishly lay in unnecessary stocks of
clothes or food, or other goods for fear of shortages?
No! The name is not too hard, even though it may
be earned through thoughtlessness. For in reality
they are doing, in a petty, mean way, what the Quis-
ling does in the open.
Anyone who buys more than is necessary for current
needs—
Is breaking his country's law for personal advantage.
Is betraying his loyal neighbours and those who are
not so well off as he.
Is, in effect, depriving our fighting mert of the
munitions and supplies they must have to defend us.
Is hindering our war effort and helping our enemies.
Loyal citizens avoid putting unnecessary and
abnormal strains on our factories. In time of war,
loyal citizens do not spend one dollar more on civilian
goods than is absolutely necessary for current needs.
The law provides for fines up to $5,000 and imprison-
ment up to two years for hoarding; and hoarding is
just another word for unnecessary selfish buying.
In cases where it is advisable for you to buy in advance of
your immediate requirements — such, as your next season's
coal supply — you will be encouraged to do so by direct
statement from responsible officials.
