Into One Pocket—Sure!
but OUT of the other
Each of us is' both consumer and producer.
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.
Your services are needed from now until spring. If you cannot devote that
full period of time, a month or more will be of great assistance.
OFFER YOUli. SERVICES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you cannot go to work at once, call or write.
stating that you will come, and at what date you will be available. Remember you will be serving
your own best interests as well as playing a vital patriotic part in serving your country.

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

Still lying on the stretcher which

soldier was placed on the table under

Captain S'orman Merkelev of Win-

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.

soldier still lived was revealed. By a
