As a producer each of us would: like to get MORE money for our goods or services. As a consumer each of u; wants the costs of living kept down. But we can't have it both ways. As long as goods are scarce and money plentiful, prices have to be controlled or they'd jump sky high. If prices are to be kept down, then costs of production including salaries,, wages and raw materials must also be controlled. One Person Can Start It ! When any one of us, • offers to pay more than legal prices; '• asks higher returns for his services; i• asks higher prices for his goods. He helps start a chain that forces every one else to do the same and nobody is better off. �---THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTING FURTHER RISE IN THE COST OF LIVING NOW, AND DEFLATION LATER, ONTARIO FARMERS 1000 MEN WANTED Jloa, THIS is an appeal to. THE FARMERS OF ONTARIO. The Packing Plants of Ontario, which process and ship your livestock for export, ARE SERIOUSLY SHORT OF MEN. Every available Farmer of Ontario is urged to offer his services for employment in one of the Packing Plants in this province as soon as the essential work of the farm is completed. OVER 1,000 xnen are required to start hi the month of September alone. Good hourly wages will be paid. Transportation to the plant will be provided. Assistance will be given in arranging board and room. With full staffs, the Packing Plants of Canada have ample capacity to handle even the tremendously increased numbers of cattle, sheep and swine, which Canadian farmers have ready, for market this year. When operatingto capacity the Packing Plants can keep the market cleared and livestock can be slaughtered, processed and shipped at its most profitable time, when it is at its market peak. Thus; losses which occur when animals are held beyond the peak — through additional feeding costs, through falling away from peak condition and through the danger to price structures when supply threatens to exceed demand — are avoided. Last year several hundred Ontario farmers volunteered for work in the plants in processing their own products and protecting their own interests. Production for export this year has increased by 40%. Available man -power has shrunk by 28%. The Ontario Farm Service Force, in conjunction with Employment and Selective Service has undertaken the task of raising sufficient help from Ontario Farmers to keep Packing Plants operating to capacity this year. This deparhaent of the Ontario government's Department of Agriculturefeels that this extension of its service is as vitally important to the interests of the farmers of this pray - ince as anything it has yet undertaken. The need of meat as aprirnary essential food to our Allied Armies, to the people of Great Britain and to the starving millions in countries being liberated by our victorious armies, is the basic consideration. In addition, efficient operation in the, processing and marketing of livestock is necessary in protecting the greatest export market ever opened to Canadian farmers.

S. i,, c ini,if•o in "The '..iaple Leaf". Surgery is a tradition with the Hillsman family of Virginia. For five generations the Hill mans have been surgeons in Richmond, blit the ' long family saga probably contains no more thrilling incident than' the i wild night last week when Major John Hillsnian, serving with a Can- adian field surgery unit held a man's heart in his hand and stitched ita wound while the tent in which he op - :rated was convulsed by the blast of our big guns supporting the battle below Caen.

WAS completing an abdom- inal operation, Captain Karl Kraft of Hamilton administered an anae- sthetic to the new patient. Still lying on the stretcher which bore hint from the battlefield, the soldier was placed on the table under an arc of five powerful lights. Hills- ' man looked at the wound, then sum- mnoned his junior assistants, Captain Rods Jung, a Chinese-American, and Captain S'orman Merkelev of Win- nipeg. The right ventricle of the heart was punctured. The three doctors huddled over the patient as Major Hillsman cut a trap six inches by four inches in the chest, lifted open the wedge of flesh and muscle, and reached inside for the wildly beating heart. It was a tricky business. The ground trembled to the thump of nearby cannon. Slowly Hilisman's sensitive fingers brought the heart into the light of the arc and the miracle of why the soldier still lived was revealed. By a freak of circumstance the leakage from the heart wound flowed into the lung sac, thus relieving the pies- ' sure which would have long since smothered the heart beat. j The wound on the heart was one- ; third of an inch wide. Hillsman did not stop to probe for the mortar fragment. He closed the wound with three silk stitches. replaced the heart beneath. the ribs and stitched HEAVY CL AMNG GOT YOU RaOWN?
