Remember These Things
Canada's National Registration is
a thing of the past as far as the ma-
jority. of Canadians are concerned.
• But from ,enquiries which are con-
tinually. being made at this office, it
is very apparent that there are more
than a few people in this district who
have Very little knowledge of the re-
quirements of the recent registra-
tion.
' If you have registered and have
your registration certificate, you
can forget about it. Otherwise, there
are quite a few things about nation-
al registration that it would be well
to remember.
And among these things are: That
every resident of Canada, who after
• the 21st day of August, 1940, attains
his or her sixteenth birthday, is re-
quired to register before a postmas-
• ter within thirty days of such birth-
day.
•That every resident of Canada
who was absent from Canada dur-
ing the period fixed for National
Registration which ended on the
21st day of August, 1940, is required
to register before 'a Postmaster
within thirty days of his or her en-
try or re --entry into Canada.
That. every resident a Canada,
who was unable to register during
the period of registration ending on
the 21st day of August, 1940, owing
to illness, is required to register be-
fore a Postmaster as soon as he or
she has sufficiently recovered -to
travel to • a post office.
That , every resident of Canada
who was temporarily residing at re-
mote points in Canada, where no
registration place was established
during the period of registration, or
who, for any other satisfactory rea-
son was unable to register during
• that period, is required to register
before a Postmaster immediately up-
• on his or her return to his or her
• ordinary place of 'residence.
That duly registered persons who
have lost their registration certifi-
• cates are required to communicate
by letter with the Dominion Statis-
tician, at Ottawa, who is authorized
by the regulations to issue a, new
certificate when the.1�s of an orig-
inal certificate has been established
to his satisfaction.
• That duly registered persons who
change their post office addresses
are required to communicate by let-
-ter the particulars of such changes
to the Dominion Statistician, at Ot-
tawa, within fourteen days after
making such changes.
That persons marrying after they
have duly registered during the
registration period, which ended on
the 21St day of August, 1940, are re-
quired to communicate by letter the
date of their marriage, and also the
names and addresses under which
they were registered, to the Domin-
ion Statistician, at Ottawa, within
fourteen days after such marriage.
The forgetting of registration in-
structions and requirements has al-
ready .cost a good many people a
good number of dollars, • and , the
check-up is only starting. It would
be advisa:ble, therefore, to remember
these things that have been set forth.

t ----for many Months past the

Canada's war effort was every thing
else but what it should have been,
and generally it was not at all par-
ticular about the lengths to which it
went in stating its ease.
The reason now for this complete
about-face, is, of course, unknown to
us, but certainly the Post's special
edition would seem to point to a com-

Do You Remember ?
It was --fifty years ago this week
that Reginald J. Birchall was sen-
tenced at Woodstock to be hanged
November 14th, for the murder of
F. C. Benwell.
The cost of that -trial was ten
thousand dollars, then an all time
record for Canada. But it was not
the cost of the trial, but the trial it-
self, even although it all occurred a
half century ago, that still stands
out in the minds of thousands of
Ontario people.
No, trial in Canada before "or since
ever created more morbid curiosity
or gained such a hold on the minds
of people. ThouSands of words were
printed about it in Canadian, Ameri-
can and English papers, and these
newspaper reports were read to the
• exclusion of almost everything else,
by men, women and children, not
only in the city and district where
the trial was held, but in every other
town, and city and every back con-
cession through Ontario.
. It is hard now to realize the tre-
mendous interest this trial created,
for while it was a particularly cold-
blooded murder, there had, been
many just as brutal, although none
before or ,since have ever figured so
prominently in the public mind as
the Birchall-Benwell case.

Wilt Not, Want Not -
Investigators at the Massachu-
setts. Institute of Technology have
discovered that • "Wilt Not, • Want
Not," is a mighty good slogan foi-
the practise of those careful house-
wives who carefully wrap up their
lettuce, cabbage, and every other
kind of green vegetable in damp
towels 'before storing them in their
ice box.
Adcording to the experts this prac-
• tise a wrapping protects green -veg-
etables from, loss of valuable food
elements which disappear in the
process of .wilting.
Personally, we do not look with
much favor upon any of these varie-
ties mentioned, in fapt have no lik-
ing for them, wilted or otherwise,
but we like to be helpful -when we
can, so we pass along the tip.

Hard On The Members
Owing to the war situation in
Europe, the United States Rouse of
Representatives and Senate were
precented from making their regular
• adjournment in June. Both Houses
sat through the summer months and
both Houses are still sitting.
That is what is troubling the mem-
bers. All of the House and a third
of the Senat„, are up for election
early in November. How can these
members sit in Washington and at
,the• same time mend their political
faces at home and campaign for an
egetion only a month away?
Such a situation• is pretty, hard on
the members, but perhaps their con-
stituents will take another ir-iew of
it. Perhaps absence will make their
hearts grow fonder of their repres-
entative in House or Senate, and if
he stays away long enough, perhaps
they will return him by acclamation.
At any rate, such a very unusual
happening will save a lot of noise,
fuss and feathers throughout the,
country generally, • and there are
more than- a few people w b o
will appreciate that, and show
their appreciation in the ,„manner
that will be Most pleasing to the 10-
presentatives .and.Seriators.

"HillED HELP PROBLEM"
A farm writer in a letter about -a
Week ego said, "The problem ,Oa the
farm at the present time is, where
shall the 'hired man wash Ails feet?"
At fleet glance -that seems like a ra-
ther foolish thing to say. That's what
I thought when I read. it, but after
due consideration I've...Orme to the
conclusion that it really is a prob-
lem.
• My father. Always used to say:
'There are two kinds ef hired men—
the washed . . and the unevesh-
ed." Mother weeded out the unwash-
ed ones, thowever, at the end of the
first week. -On Saturday' evening she
would look up from the sapper table
and say, "We always take a bath in
the woodshed on 'Saturday evenings."
Sthe would watch his face quite close-
ly, and if his expression showed . a
genuine interest in the removal of
"the accumulateddust of a week, she
would continue by saying, "I'll. leave
a towel out for you." 'If he just
mumbled something and went on
eetin•g, she wouldn't say any more ex-
cept to send one of her meaning
looks at rather. The new hired man
would lie paid •his week's wages;'tak-
en into town and Father would start
looking for a new man. Mother
would start .housecleaning the roam.
on Monday morning and all :the bed-
dieg and the tick would be, given a
generous Airing. Mother never would
tolerate an "unwashed" hired man.
But this queition of feet bathing
was always a ticklish one. I'll always
remember "Pinky" as we called him.
He had a girl on the next concession
and made a regular Wednesday even-
ing visit to see her, After supper he
would repair to the woodshed with,
:the washbasin and we younger mem-
bers woeld sit around in, fascination
as he removed a cleating of ,sweat and
dust from his feet. We were reward-
ed by sigiht of his big toe, which he
once had broken when a horse step-
ped on it, He could wrigglaand con-
tort -it into. the 'strangeet `Positions.
Each of us vowed' that when we grew
up we would arrange to have a simi-
lar operation: performed by one of the
horse's in the stable.
This Wailing of the feet always
seemed 'like a seared duty with. the
Jailed men. rt seems like yesterday
since one of our hired men shocked
Mother terribly. We had a visit from
the clergyman and everyone was sit
ting en. the front lawn enjoying :the
evening 'breeze when he appeared le
the front. door in his bare feet an&
carrying a towel and,,a basin of wa-
ter. Sitting down on the steps he
calmly panted his feet in the basin
for soaking and joined in the con-
versation. Mother was mortified in-
to -silence as the party shifted from
windward to leeward of the basin,.
• Still another hired mak- had corns.
He wrote to companies in all pares
of the countrnfor corn-curese and in-
dulged each evening in a "foot shak-
ing andi corn -paring" spree. It seem-
ed that every eine- se had eorapann,
one of the visitors would have to men-
tion something about their feet. The
hired man would immediately start
and lecture on the care of the feet,
and he generally concluded by start-
ing to take off his boot to illustrate
his lecture. Father always managed
to find some errand for him at the
barn. ••
One of the last hired men we had
when I was a boy was very shy. The
usual question Mother asked him if
he was going away any evening was:
"Would you like to whh your feet?"
He wculd always- say, "I washed them
last night!" We never did know
where he washed them until one eve-
ning father came upon, him dousing
hid feet in the horse trough and dry-
ing them with a clean seed bag. Fa-
ther, being quite the diplomat, didn't
mention it, saying to Mother, "Its
better to have him washing them
down there than splashing around the
kitchen!"
"guess it's an age-old problem that
Will always be with us on the farm,
this welting of the hired man's feet!
