The Nutrition campaign is under way. Once again we discuss minerals and vitamins, hy? First of all, because 85% of the women at the last Red Cross meeting we attended requested it, and, secondly, because recent sur- veys show that Canadians are not getting sufficient: (1) Calcium; (2) Vitamin B1; (3) Iron; (4) Vitamin A; (5) Protein; (6) Vitamin C. This happens largely through lack of knowledge of food values — and seldom through lack of money..Nutri- tion experts have found that most of us don't get enough vitamins and minerals because we dont know how to spend our food dollars. Mineral foods build up bone and assist the work of every cell in the body. The "hard -to -get" minerals are calcium and iron. Calcium is neces- sary not only for building strong bones and teeth but also for proper functioning of the nervous system, proper beating of the heart, control of the muscles and enrichment of the blood. You can make sure of your calcium quota by including in your diet one pint of milk per adult and one quart of milk per child. Milk products such as cottage cheese may be used for part of your quota. Iron makes red blood cells and carries oxygen to the cells of every organ and tissue, Minor disturbances —even slight infections — cause loss of iron. But in spite of its import- ance, iron cannot be stored in the body and the amounts obtained from foods are very small. To make sure of your iron ration, we cannot stress too much the green leafy vegetables — and luckily they are cheap — as well as fruits, whole grain bread and cereals. Vitamin -rich foods build up resist- ance to disease, promote growth and keep the body functioning smoothly. Vitamins cannot be hoarded in the body so again we urge you to get your vitamin -rich foods daily. Check up esepecially on your Bitamine A, B1 and C. Vitamin A is found abund- antly in cod liver oil, butter, milk, liver, eggs and the green and yellow vegetables. For your Vitamin Bl, the richest course is brewer's yeast while chief food source is found in the whole grain cereals. Other good sources are fresh peas, fresh lima beans, navy beans, spinach, carrots, pork, eggs and milk. Vitamin C (known as Ascorbic Acid) is found especially in oranges, lemons and. limes, as well as in tomato juice and Public Meeting A Public Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 25 At 8 P.M. in the Council Chambers To discuss the, formation of a Committee of the Navy League in Seaforth, and if so desired, to, elect Officers of such Committee. The public is urged to attend. Your presence will show that you appreciate w'hatour sailors are doing every day to maintain our freedom here in Ontario. John J. Cluf f, MAYOR 1 The Coal Situation .The Fuel Controller at Ottawa bas sent the following message to all Retail 00111 Dealers in 'Ontario: L No Alberta Coal will be available in Ontario this year, II. Very little Coke will. be available for domestic use. III; Anthracite Coal will not be as Plentiful as last year. IV. Bituminous Coal will have to be used to supplement the supply, The Government has just declared the coal shortage in Canada to be a National EmorgenoY, Compared with this date last year, supplies of Anthracite are decidedly short. Suppliers are accepting orders only "subject to the ability OE the miners to make shipmeut." This means a continuance of short supply and slow delivery, Ultder such conditions it is imposs- ible for us to guarantee tate delivery of any. specified tonnage of anthrac- ite coal, either stove or nut size, as we have done in former years. • We are staying in the business, however, and will secure as large a tonnage of it as possible, during the coming months, and will advise the public of its selling price as and when it arrives. We have in our yard for immediate delivery a car of "Vh•ginia" screened and dust treated 3x2 Stove Coal, and a oar of No. 1 "Pocahontas" Egg Coal. We are offering the former at $11,40 per ton haul your own, and 912.00 per ton delivered In town in one ton lots or over. And the latter at 912,40 and 913,00 par ton accordingly. And we will de- liver this Coal by truck, it desired, In 3 ton lots or over, within ten miles of Seaforth: "Virginia" 912.15 per ton, "Pocahontas" 913,15 per ton. This Coal is not as clean as anthra- cite, decidedly not. But it will burn in any heating equipment, and if pro- perly handled, will keep a hone comfortable at moderate cost. They are low in water content, and will 110t slack if stored in dry bins for a few months. We have definite assurance also, of the shipment of a few cars of "Sunbeam" Pocahontas washed stove coal. It will be stringing along during the month of June. It is the most convenient size and the best quality of "Pocahontas" coal available, Owing to' wage disputes with the miners, the cost of this coal has not been definitely determined. But we will be offering It, direct from car, as it arrives, reasonably priced. It is our firm belief -that if House- holders do not secure, during the summer months, a substantial ton- nage of their fuel for next winter, there will be a most calamitous scramble for Coal, when the cold weather approaches a few months hence, This is our opinion of the Coal Situation, and we hope we are wrong. We are staying on the job, how- ever, and will advise the public at appropriate times in these columns, as to what we clan offer and supply, in the line of the best Coal available, in the months which lie ahead, J.

Readings by Mrs. Percy Harris and Mrs, Carl Stoneman on the church in the city streets. Hymn 405 was then sung. Meeting closed by all repeating verses 4 and 5 of hymn 382. potatoes.

SHALL THE SPELL BE BROKEN From an address given at Aber- deen University by Sir Stafford Cripps in February, 1943. As all great wars are in fact dyn- amic movements of social and econ- omic progression or retrogression, and since they are characterized by the exercise of force, they may truly be regarded as revolutionary. During these periods of revolu- tionary struggle in the past we have seen the urgent desire for change emerging during the course of the war, and we have witnessed what has become of it after the war has ceased. Apparent agreement in the hour of peril, when the whole manpower and womanpower of a country 18 es- sential for its very salvation, does not at all necessarily imply that there will be that same agreement when the time of peril is past The political reaction of peace has al- most .always been marked by a re- lapse from the idealism of common effort, engendered by the sere s of war, to a renewal of -the internal struggle between progress on the one hand and reaction on the other, One of out' most brilliant British authors has given us a name by which to designate this breaking down of the universal comradeship of war into the struggle for section- al advantage in the peace.' Winston Churchill called it after the last war "the broken spell," Let me summarize this danger in the warning words of one of our young war poets, .Tock Curie; "And we would hope that something should be altered In the cruel careless fundamental law, But we must beware or the moment will escape us; Ithas done so before. And we must see that out ` of the practical slaughter Rise no more vapory dreams, But a world where the poor are fed, the tyrants humbled, And men know what life means." The spell has been broken in the past partly because the spell itself was so potent. The very horrors of war themselves create the need for some compensating idealism, some hopefulness to offset the bitter des- truction of young life. So it was that during the last great war distinguished leaders add- ed the weight of their advocacy to the common feeling of the need for fundamental change. On November 25, 1918, at Wol- verhampton, Prime Minister Lloyd George drew this brilliant picture of the dreamland: "The country realizes in a way it never did before how much it owes to the citizens who dwell in its hum- blest homes. . . What is our task? To snake Britain a fit country for heroes to live in. . , There .is no time to lose. I want to take advan- tage of the new spirit." What Lloyd George failed to see was that the opportunity had al- ready passed and the new spirit of common sacrifice was already at that very moment being strangled by the old forces of internal differences which rapidly reared their heads once the danger was past. President Wilson in America was stressing the same need for a fresh start. In January 1918, he had al- ready announced that "the day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by." Later in the same year he. made'his contribution to the spell, speaking in London: "I believe that men are beginning to see, not per- haps the golden age, but an age which at any rate is brightening from decade to decade, and will lead us some time to an elevation from which we can see the things for which the heart of mankind is long- ing."' These were not in any sense the words of hypocrisy, but represented a genuine idealism which failed to appreciate the strength of those re- actionary forces which had for a time been stilled by the agonies of war. The old plea for peace and inac- tion was heard again, "We have been moved already beyond endurance and need rest," wrote a distinguish- ed Britisher. ' Tranquility was the slogan with which Bonar Law won the 1922 election and President Harding echoed the same sentiment in his presidential election cam- paign on the other side of the At- lantic: "America's present peed is not heroics, but healing; not nost- rums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration." Before many months, discontent and disillusionment were rife and we settled down once again to the class struggle, to the wavering and uncertain foreign policy which was the external manifestation of our in- ternal doubts and hesitations, until at last we found ourselves swept, unprepared, into a new and greater world wan We now approach once again'one of those critical periods of hope which occur in every great war, as the prospect of ultimate victory be- gins to loom on the horizon. Many of those who cast the spell in former times were absolutely sin- cere in their hopes and desires, but at the critical moment when they sought to implement those.desires in action,the opposing forces were too strong. This, I believe, was for two main reasons. The progressive forces failed to strike while the iron was hot, During the time of war, when the feeling of co-operation is still strong, is the moment to concert common action for the period after the war. To wait until, hostilities have ceased, till the binding force of the common danger •15 no longer pre- sent, is to miss the chance- of com mon agreement. And, second, they underestimated the support they would win from the people—the common men and women of the THEATRE Seaforth THURS., MAY 20TH ONLY CHINESE RELIEF ENTERTAINMENT AND PICTURE SHOW Ray Milhaud Paulette Goddard "THE LADY HAS PLANS" 1-Ieary Fonda FRIDAY, SATURDAY "The Big Street" The Broadway romance of a million dollar Babe and a tackle -and - dime boy -- told by New York's master storyteller.

Boswell - - Manager country—for a bold program of change. Since the last war, however, our democracy has made great progress. All classes have become more polit- ically conscious and they are not now so easily misled by empty slo- gans. Education lo-gans.Education is the great defense of democracy and education has tak- en great strides forward in recent years. But one factor: is liable to militate against the countrol by the people of the post-war development. This war more than any other has drawn in almost every man and woman in the country. There has been no norm- alcy, no rest for any. The whole population will be vastly wearied when the end comes, and it will be harder than ever to stir the people to a realization of how easily their democratic power may be used for what may ""seem plausible, but will. turn out to be disastrous, purposes. We as a people have chosen, and chosen deliberately, the way of dem- ocratic change,which has its draw- backs and its delays but which we believe, since we are democrats, can be used to work the will of the people. We approach now one of those rare and great testing times of the power of our democracy. Can it prevent the spell from being bro- ken, can it mobilize the longings, the hopes, the desires of the mass of the people to be effective against the interests of reaction and the ap- athy of war weariness? Our needs are many; a closer knit and more soundly planned co-opera- tion between the United Nations; a world economy based on scarcity and; starvation, but upon plenty and hap- piness, and a means of giving the world a degree of effective security in which we can exercise the arts of peace rather than those of war, I have pictured to you the difficul- ties; I have pointed the prospect. I throw you a challenge to your spirit of adventure and patriotism; The meaning of that challenge has nowhere been better expressed than by Eric Linklater, in one of his plays puts into the mouth of Beethoven: "Do not think peace to be a shal- low or a placid thing. It is deep and rich. It is full of movement and joy, of work and laughter, and the reach- ing out of your hands to God. That is the peace 'of a living soul. Have nothing to do with any thin or idle peace, mere rest from toil and re- lapse from war. That is the peace of dying."
