Your Opportuniz y To •Serve
August 19th will see in operation
the registration of Canada's 'man
power and women power. This reg-
istration is one of the- most neces-
sary and important war measures
that the Dominion Government has
yet undertaken, and it is absolutely
necessary that the work .be done as
thoroughly and speedily as is hu-
manly possible to accomplish such a
great neation wide undertaking.
Not only. is the work necessary,
but it .is equally necessary that in
these, times of war, the registration
be made with the minimum, of ex-
pense to the country, because of the
fact that Canada needs all the money
she can raise by taxation and we
might add, all the money she can
borrow to build ships and planes; to
train men for them; to . train men
...for hone and active service; to
equip them, and to purchase war
material and munitions, not only for
her own forces, ,but as well to keep
.a. constant stream of such war ma-
terials pouring into the Old Country
to assist the Empire in her hour of
.need.
To that end the Government has
cut the expense of this', National
Registration down to a minimum.
The paid .organization which will do
the preliminary i work of organiza-
tion .is'a ' nere skeleton, and the Gov-
.erxunent asks_ -and believes that a
ready and wholehearted response
will be made to its appeal for volun-
tary aid to assist this skeleton or-'
ganization in the work of registra-
tion.
Here is an opportunity for you to
serve. Already a great many in this
riding of Huron -Perth have offered
their services to be used in any way
And e there are''many ways. There
.are only two deputy registrars ap-
• pointed for each polling division in
a township or municipality. ' It will
be a physical impossibility for two
registrars to complete the registra-
tion cards alone. In' all polling divi-
sions from six to ten additional vol-
untary registrars will be required
and in': many polls a great many.
Snore.
Students, teachers., professional
men, business men; and in fact any
one who has had any kind of a busi-
ness or.clerical training, would make
ideal registrars. At the same time,
there are many who, while they may
lack these qualifications in .�o me
measure or . other, whose services
would be just as valuable. ,
There will be people who through
illness or accident will be unable to
go to the registration stations. There
will -be people too old; people in hos-
pitals' and other institutions whose
registration cards will' ,have to be
taken to them in order to have them
filled out. There will be tars need-
ed and in numerous other ways the,
services of voluntary workers could
be utilized.
The registration days will be Mon-
day,' August 19th; Tuesday, August
20th, and Wednesday, August 21st.
It would not be necessary, however,
to volunteer for all three days, but
on any one day, or part of any of
those days the service of voluntary
workers could be utilized.
An organization for this volun-
. tary service for registration in the
riding of Huron -Perth, it is ° expect-
ed, will be ,formed by a committee
cotpa sed of members of the Lions '
Clubs, Legion and Women's Insti-
tutes, under the chairmanship of Mr.
Vir. L. Whytey of Hullett Township,
who has been asked to act in this
capacity. Every one who ' knows

You Can Hardly Blam•
e Them -
Bitter complaint has been regis-
tered by the citizens and owners of
summer homes in our beautiful
north country, against the policy of
housing German prisoners in ,their
midst.
' And you can hardly blame them.
It is true that these prisoners are
so closely guarded that there is lit-,
tle chance of any break away, ,singly
or in numbers. But the ' possibility';
is always there, and that is not a
nice thing to contemplate, or to have
hanging over these people's heads
day after day.
Particularly so, when during the
middle days of the week there are
thousands of people in these summer
playgrounds,. and the great major-
ity of them are hetpless women and
children.
It seems to us that the policy is
entirely wrong. We know that
these German prisoners have to be
kept as well as guarded, but why
should they be kept in one of Can-
ada's summer gardens? Why should
they be kept in civilization at all?
Why n t move them up into the
real nor country, into the buSh,
where escape • would spell certain
death or starvation? They are not
guests; wliy not make them pay for
their keep?
Our best information is that the
only thing these prisoners under-
stand or appreciate is force. Why
not force them to earn their keep by.
clearing,land, buildingroads, or any
other manual labor? We do not owe
them any consideration, not even re-
spect, and the only way, apparently,
that we can command their respect
is to force it from them.
At any rate, a summer paradise,
populated by thousands of people; at
times largely women and 'children,
is no place to house prisoners of
German soldier. Mentality, in idle-
ness and ease,. and at great expense:
to Canada.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY:
No Passports Needed
(Christi= Science Monitor)
The American tourist, his world grown sud-
denly small, is looking with renewed interest to-
ward Canada, where .an international border is
still an imaginary line.
To the north of thte United States there re-.
mains one nation in which no passports are
needed. In inviting Americans to visit the Do-
minion the Canad>iae, Government 'has assured all
bona fide United States eitizens that. they may
enter Canada "with 'the, acme informality a in
previous, years.
Yet, despite thesee assurances, there is a sur- -
prising confusion among many Americans over
Canada's border requi.rem.ents. ' Idle rumors and
conflicting reports have- given widespread im-
pressions that United States oitizeies -must con- "
tend with .considerable red tape and difficulties
in xetar•ning from Canada. Actually, the facto
are these: .
1—American citizens do not need passports.
Z --Naturalized citizens„°acre required to present

"PHOTOGRAPHY"
"Oh, I'd just love to have a picture
of Patricia Ann." Blow often. we had
heard that, and 'eaca t Ulm, resolved
to do something about. it . . be•
cause there's nothing that a foot!: pari=`
ent likes' to do better than :to hand
out pictures of the family wide and
jay.
Each time we were in dors village
the task of buying frka fon the old
'box camera was forgotten;. Like ev-
erything else, the job was finally
completed, and se, on a fine sunny
July day the Phil Osdtrer household,
including -Patricia Ann, yours truly
and the hired man, was told that
this was the ideal day to take the
picture of the baby.
Indeedit looked the part!' Patricia
Ann .beaming with hapepimeess and
displayigtg new found ringlets of gold
in her hair, that I vow the rainy sum-
mer brought on, seemed to approve
the idea, She submitted to the or-
deal .of having a general wash,-u'p•-
shoees and stockings. . . , a new
dress . . . and even the comb be-
ing ,drawn through her chair, without
any: great amount of protest.
where will we take the pictures?
The hired man said the 'front lawn
. . Mrs. Phil said on the back ver-
andah where the sun was good , . ,
and I maintained that just inside the
door wwould be the best place because
the breeze Wouldn't muffle her hair.
Meanwhile, the important star of our
picturie-making enterprise had been
stroking.the dust on the sereen door
ledge in the back veranda and had
donned several streaks. el' dust on her
face in a way that, a' Comanche In-
dian would approve for battle dress.
That meant another wasinup!
In the meantime, the hired nran had
been custodian of the, camera, and
during the lengthy harangue about
where it should be focuseed, had acci-
dentally (so he said) snapped' the
caante•ra, taking a perfect rear .view
of my Patched trouser seat' as I
stooped• to smooth, a place on the
grass where Patricia Ann could b_e
placed for a sitting.
Finally we settled our differences
of opinion agreeing that the side ver-
andah would be an excellent -place,
The baby awes, pieced in position and
I got set with the camera. A11 was

promptly flopped back and started

and then the dog inareed luta the

round and settled right drown in front
of -the baby. 'Clutching for the dog
She toppled over and; an the course
of her action buimtpedi her nose and•
promptly boo-rhooed•.
All operations were called off while
Mrs,. Dell took her in herd to soothe
her ruffled feelings. When the tears
dried up and a smile appeared again,
we all• determined to get those pic-
tures at once. Mrs. Phil stayed close
to the 'baby . . . the hired man
picked ,up a stick ready to •ward off
any interference by gran or beast
. . . and I got the camera set.
Fine . . , baby's smiling
Click it now . . . and then the alhut-
ter locked. It wouldn't budge and
baby was smiling at a, .great rate.
Smiles were wasted on the summery
scene . . because I couldn't. make
the camera work.' Fussing and fum-
ing the hired man and I worked and
tugged and sweated and pondered=
and finally admitted that we ,might
be able to make a broken binder
work , , . but cameras were too
difficult.
With that peculiar ability women
have of skewing men up, , Mrs. Phil
picked up the camera . , , fiddled
'With- a little spring gadget and ,said,
"It's working now, so yqu two mud-
dlers just go along about your work.
I'll take• these pictures myself." Prg-
testing that it was too big of .a job
for 'her alone, we ambled back to
work.
