"No. Are yez sure ye had it on when ye took It off?" Premier Drew Speaks TO Huron Federation Declaring that agriculture and .its products are all that stand between many millions of people and a com- ps e'leak own, Premier George A. Drew, Ontario's Progressive Conser- vative Government leader, told more than a thousand people in Clinton' Community Park Wednesday after- noon that the provinces record crop - must be • completely harvested so that "we in, Ontario may reap the benefits and so that millions in Europe may live." as he officially opened the fourth annual field day of the Huron County Federation_ of Agriculture. Speaking in bright warm sunshine that was tempered by a cooling, breeze, Premier Drew reviewed On- tario's stand at the recently ad- journed Dominion Provincial Con- ference and on.e more ,warned of the dangers of Communism in this Province, declaring that Communists were expending every effort to un- dermine the traditions of this pro- vince by distributing literature de- signed to further the Communistic way of life. Col: Drew urged his listeners to continue their close co-ope that those who produce the life may be assured a fair and ade- mute return for their la at the same time aid the Canada in doing all that i to assist the people of countries who are facing s "They are looking to us f tion." the premier stated, up to us to do all we can them," ration so needs of bors and rest of s possible overseas tarvatimr, or salve - and it is to assist The .premier declared that agri- culture federations are doing more than merely assisting their mem- bers to progress. "There is an even more important background to fed- eration activities," he stated. "The agriculture of the . province can be supported greatly by the extension of farming by improved methods and in this the federations play a large part." The speaker stated that if the farming of the province is extended, then Ontario can absorb a great many more people with' a profit for all, "We should remember," he said, "that our north country is very sparsely settled and in that district the possibilities of. agriculture have only been scratched on the surface. Through the extension of agraculture we shall see a great growth in that part of the province."' Referring to the Dominion Pro- vincial conference, Premier Drew emphasized that Ontario is anxious to assist both the Dominion Gov- ernment and the governments of the other provinces. "Anxious as weare to help the other provinces." he said, "we are not going to enter into any agreement that will lower the standarcls of life in this province." He said that Ontario spends $39,- 000,000 a' year on education alone, which, he pointed' out, is as much as five of the nine provinces spend on all of heir services. He declared that when the ` con- ference opened last August Ontario had laid down a simple program which was that ''what was done at the conference must be in line with the democratic principles for which so many men of this country had fought. "At that time." he said, "only two, provincial governments came to the conference prepared to accept any proposal put forth by the Dominion Government, and there was not one provincial government in complete agreement with any of the proposals. The statements which have been made since the adjourn- ment, that Ontario and Quebec stood in the way of agreement were un - true." Although many felt the confer. ence had broken down completely and would not be reconvened, he said, the talks had been, merely ad- journed, and, he added, .0n the mo- tion of Finance Minister Ilsley. An- other statement attributed . to many people outside the conference, after the adjournment, he continued, was that Ontario wanted a higher in- come than the Dominion Govern- ment offered, and one which was higher than the province would realize on income taxes. This too. the premier declared was untrue. "Actually," lie stated, "our proposal called for lower payment from the Dominion' Government." Col. Drew said that he and every member of his cabinet would do all they could to assist in the building of Canada. "I, and the other mem- bers of the Government, will put the wlMole strength of the province behind every effort to build the country, but we are going to make sure we do not retard the develop- ment of the province," The Premier declared that he had seen a great deal of the world and, during the First Great War, had been in a great many countries,' "but there is not a part of the world, which offers greater opportunity to the people than does the province of Ontario. The youth of Canada, he said, is faced with the greatest challenge which ever beckoned and he d'e •clared it was tlhe' dirty of the—614w residents of the Dominion to instill a great love of Canada in the youth by talking more about the country. "There are those in the country," he said, 'who are doing their best to destroy this faith and love of our country. As Minister of Education I have had pamphlets reach my desk which were designed to break down Canada and build up the. Utopia of Russia. We should be on guard against this erosion. "I've seen Russia," he continued, "and T hope the bravery of the people of Russia will some day be rewarded in the way in which it should.' The people of Russia are today living under a dictatorship which is just as stern as was that of Hitler. As long as I'm in office, I'm going to do all I can to teach the people of Ontario and Canada all the bad features of this dictator- ship. We must live in the hope that some day the Russians will learn from us and create for themselves a true freedom, Col. Drew spoke following a luncheon at which he was guest of honor, and which was attended by severalpraminent men of the coun- try and the district: Russell Bolton, R.R. 1, Dublin,president of the Huron County Federation of Agri- culture, was chairman of the cere- monies which officially opened the field day, and introduced the vari- ous platform guests. Col. Drew was introduced by Dr. Hobbs Taylor, M.P,P. for Huron, who also urged the federation to continue its fine work and stressed the need for such work in the world today. "Keep your organization free from the suspicion of politics." he said. "and you will serve yourselves and your country." Mr. Bolton, in his remarks as chairman, thanked Col. Drew and also thanked the town of. Clinton, for all the assistance given to the federation in the arrangements and preparations for the field day. Mayor A. J. Mc•Mlurray, of Clin- ton, officially welcomed the federa- tion and wished it every success dur- ing uning the day. Other speakers who ad- dressed the large gathering were R. E. Shaddick, warden of Huron County; L. E. Cardiff, M.P. for Huron North; John Hanna, M.P.P. for Huron -Bruce; Albert Kalb- fleisch extended greetings and best wishes to the federation from Mr. Golding. J. Fred Edwards, M.P.P. for Perth, also addressed the gather- ing as did Kenneth Betzner, presi- dent of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, who has only recently. returned from London, England, Where he attended the Empire food talks. Mr. Betzner •urged his list- eners to do all possible to assist the starving people of Europe. Premier Drew remained at the Ppr'lc..uritjl late in_ the afternoon, pres ntin g prizes towinners of a junior cattle -judging competition. and essay contest, held in conjunc- tion with the field day. He also pitched the first ball in a softball game between Stratford Kroehler girls and London Shamrocks, be- fore leaving for Stratford. Want and For Sale Ads., 1 week 25c.

Fred Elliott's South Huron "Wildcats" trounced Wes McCutcheon's North Huron "Invincibles" to the tune of 8-3 and if it hadn't been for the interrapt- ing call to the picnic tables it's hard to say what that score might have been. After supper the races got under way. Two little ladies Lucille White and Sandra McKellar fought it out for top honours in the race for all under five years old. Lucille • won, The boys eight and under ran a hard race, Paul MoCutcheon winning but with Leland White and Philip Jack- son right on his heels. Valerie Carter won the race for girls twelve and under but Gay Lowndes and Joanne Housway were close behind. Boys twelve years and under were nobly represented by Bernard O'Keefe who won the race, and Ernest Carter who gave Bernard a run for his money. Robert McKenzie was the first across the tape among the boys six- teen and under. Ronald McCutcheon carne in second and Don McVay third. The big Open Race for girls was a star attraction and Mrs. McKellar clipped of the distance in nothing flat to take the honours that Betty O'Keefe just missed by running second. The Open Race for boys was a feature as Wes McCutcheon had vowed he'd redeem the honour of North Huron after that baseball game. But alas ani alack Fred Elliott came steaming in ahead of him. The novelty contests were more fun than the proverbial picnic. Mrs. McCreath won the Time and Dist- ance Race; Mrs. McKellar won the Peanut and Spoon Mace with Mrs. Wickens taking second place; Mrs. Gould showed that it takes a woman to hit the nail on the head when she won the Nail and Hammer Contest and Mrs. McKellar won the respect of all by getting first place in the Needle and Thread Contest as did Mrs. Wickens by winning the Kick- ing Shoe Contest. The Draw for prizes was natural- ly an exciting event as everyone knew the prizes were to be two pair of nylons and Miss Hills and Mrs. Wickns were able to bring home the bacon—or rather the ham. The picnic is over for another year but The Huron Old Boys Asso- ciation of Toronto will meet regu- larly.until. another picnic time rolls around. Huronies love picnics and it is significant that it took something as catastrophic as the War to bring a temporary lull in their picnicking activities. 01d songs are said to be conning back. 0 we could only get the weath- erman to warns up over that once - popular bit "There'll be a hot time in the old town to -night!"

Everybody's talking about Freezing Fruits and Vegetables this year. No wonder! Everytime I plan a week -end an Woodstock my sister has the regula- tion boxes, the blanching kettle and everything ready to prepare some garden produce for the Locker They have storing asparagus, straw- berries, peas, beans and corn for years—and in large quantites. Sha says it's wonderful to grow a plot of Thomas Laxton and Telephone peas and put away 50 or 60 cartons in record time. She has tried other var- ieties„ but the best kinds are listed in Professor Truscott's book on Pre- paration of Frozen Food. This valu- able folder is available at the O.A. C., Guelph, and Agricultural Repre- sentative offices. What about the new electric Home Freezers? They are just what the homemaker requires. This pre- servation unit does an Al job. The method of preparing food for the table is economical, time -saving and simple and the results are good. The manufacturers have sent us their in- struction books and these include splendid suggestions for satisfaction. By the way, the Home Freezer con- sists of a freeze compartment and storage compartments. Foods to be frozen are first placed in the freeze section and when frozen are moved to the storage space. The freezing division can also be used to store food and to freeze cooked foods, including stews, roasted fowl, un - baked pastry and baked pies '(all these are thoroughly cooled first). Eggs as well as other perishables may be preserved by freezing. These electric units are valuable devices for those who are long-sighted in the business of homemaking, and we, in our Canadian homes, have every right to be. Watch closely the maturity of such, vegetables as beans and. peas and harvest them for freezing at peak maturity, that is when they are best for eating.. In order to re- tain the fresh flavour freeze them • as soon as. possible after harvesting. The. variety of vegetable has a ' good deal to do"'with the colour of the frozen product. Be sure to select those vegetables having intense colour, Quick blanching (dipping in boil- ing water for a few seconds) and proper packaging are two important factors affecting the keeping quali- tieUs. nless you use the brine pack, fill the package full, tamping the 'box to pack the vegetables in the package. The containers should be liquid- ' tight or sealed in cellophane with a hot iron. Storage should be at zero or even lower. * * * THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. T. W. asks whether it is necessary to pack fruit in sugar or syrup for freezing storage? Answer: Packing in sugar helps maintains good colour, texture and flavour during freezing but it is not necessary. Mrs. V. F. asks: Do you suggest dry sugar or syrup for packing fruit for freezing? Answer: Dry sugar draws some moisture from fruit and may shrink it, but this is . seldom important, especially if fruit is to be cooked, `Fruits keep their size and shape better in syrup than in dry sguar but they are more difficult to pack and freeze. Mrs. S. M. asks: What happons if you pack fruit without sugar? Answer: Fruit may darken. To prevent darkening, light-coloured fruits may be blanched or dipped in sodium bisulphite or the commercial preservative table. Fruit treated with bisulphite is not suitable for eating uncooked but may be cooked as stewed fruits, sauces and in pies. Mrs. T. B. says: Crushed fruit is more attractive for shortcakes if a few whole pieces are'put in. Crushed fruit stores well in freezing lockers.
