The Victory Loan
The Victory Loan of six hundred
million dollars to which the Domin-
ion Government asked the Canadian
people to subscribe, passed the hal f
way mark over the week -end.
In fact, all things considered, the
response to this appeal for funds to
carry on Canada's war effort has
been remarkable. Like most other
,,r ountries, Canada .suffered severely
in the depression years, if those
years can really yet be said to have
passed. Parts of this country were
even rendered. destitute.
But in spite of . that, and every=
thing else, Canada is a wealthy coun-
try, and although its population is
very small compared to its size, that
small population.has shown that it is
intensely loyal, and that it intends to
back the war effort to the limit of its
resources.
By Saturday night last, four days
after the campaign started, Huron
County had °subscribed its quota,, •be-
ing the second county in the Province
of Ontario „to do so, and before the
campaign closes, Huron will have
subscribed well over a million and a
half dollars.
It is a record to be proud of and
every municipality in . the county
played . its part. The returns from
the townships are still very incom-
plete, but of the towns and villages
Goderich had reached its quota on.
Friday night. Seaforth reached its
objective two days after the cam-
paign opened, and early this week-- --
had doubled its quota, as had Exeter
and Brussels, while Clinton was one
hundred and seventy-five per cent.
o -er.
Hensallhas gained . a niche in the
Hall of Fame, all by itself. It was.
the first .village in .Canada • to reach
its objective, going. .over ..-the top the
first day, and in less than, four days
it tripled its quota. .
And the end is not yet. Canvas-
sers still report a ready response to
their appeals to buy bonds, and by
the time this reaches our readers we
confidently believe:lthat Huron will
have done its bit and done it glor-
iously.
And, as Huron goes, we also confi-
dently believe, so will the other coun-
ties and municipalities right across
Canada.

Saving The Gas ,
On • Saturday of last week the
Automotive` -Transport Association
of Ontario issued a statement in
which it urged the closing of service
stations on Sundays.
Such a move might ' seem a little
dz
astic to the average car operator
in Ontario. Up to the present time
we have had no inkling of a gasoline
shortage in this Province, or the
other Provinces in Canada.
As a matter of • fact we,. in this
Province, have never experienced a
shortage of anything. We do not
know what the rationing ' of food or
clothes or fuel- of any kind, not to
intention •gas, Means, or what a • ra-
tioning card looks like. ,
And while we pray that we may
never . be forced into a ,closer ac-
quaintance with these things, that is
ito guarantee that in 'the ;months or
Tins to come, we may not have
ch e our modeof life and deny
e v even as the people in Pri-
asked:, to deny , themselves,
ieerfially and heroically
,r r, i a1I

cas t Spend
there and we have ` never spared it,
although there is more than a possi-
bility that physically, mentally, mor-
ally and atiancially we would have
been a better people to -day if we had.
But new if oecasiOn has arisen
which demands one gasless day in
the week, we do not know of a better
choice that .could be made than that
of Sunday. Nine -tenths of the gaso-
line that is used on that day is used
exclusively for pleasure, which we
could dispense with, or turn it into
other channels.
It would not hurt us a bit to walk
instead of ride, or better still, to con-
fine us to our homes or their immed-
iate vicinity. In fact, it would do us
a whole lot of good to go back to the
old time Sunday that our forefathers
observed and profited so immeasur-
ably by.

Why ?
In speaking of the refusal of Pre-
mier King to grant Mr. Hepburn's
request for a second conference of
the Dominion and all Provincial
Premiers, the Globe and Mail in a
leading editorial on Monday last
said: "All` fair-minded people will
agree that such a conference, ap-
proached in the right spirit, could
produce " commendable results. No-
body can guarantee what ,stand Mr.
Hepburn would take at such a con-
ference, but, as the Toronto Star
pointed. out, he might act in a less
belligerent way at a conference call-
ed at his . own suggestion."
It is true that Mr. Hepburn might
act in a less belligerent way, but
`why? , Is the Ontario Premier the
sole judge, or the most competent
judge of Canada's government pol-
icy at this time? Or why should a
conference called by him be more ac-
ceptable to the other eight Provinces
than one called by the Dominion Pre-
mier? -
Nations are like business corpora-
tions. To succeed they .must have a
governing head 'and a head office.
The head office • of Canada is at Ot-
tawa—not Toronto—and the head of
Canada's government is Mr. King—
not Mr. Hepburn.

Thep Found Her
A year .ago last September Ger-
many announced the sinking of a
British aircraft carrier; and follow-
ing that announcement the German
radio seemed to get a- huge amount :. .
of enjoyment by urging the British
people to ask and keep asking the
British Admiralty, "Where is the
Ark Royal?"
That was the first announcement,
but since then the Ark Royal, accord-
ing to the German radio, has been
sunk several times.
But, most unfortunately for the
Germans, the Ark Royal would not
stay sunk. In fact, it was planes
from her decks that fired the for-•
pedoes that sank the great . German
battleship Bismarck on her first
cruise.
Cons'! quently, it is fair to assume
that if the Germans did not know
where the Ark Royal was in ,hep-
tember, 1939, they now know for a ,
certainty where she was on May 26;•'
1941.

.How Much Territory
-One might ask the question: How
much 'territory does'-' conqueror
need? And one might also find the
answer in our history books.
Napoleon conquered an Empire,
and it led him to St.. Helena, where
all his needs were supplied by a few
small -acres.
Kaiser William II of Imperial Ger-
many died Iast_week in Doorn in the
Netherlands, where a few small
acres supplied him with trees to
chop, and a few friends and a few
servants provided him with the back-
ground for simple home services sty
different from the uniforms and the
pomp of the Court at Plitsdani.
Hitler has conquered Prane"e, • Pel -
gum, Holland, •oland and other
{ places in tirdi5 . Conquered—on

The Toronto Telegram of Saturday
last contained a good picture of Dr.
O. J. S. -Little, "Little, an old McKillop boy,
and son of Mr. Charles Little, of the

W7hat might have ,proved a serious
accident occurred on Thursday even-
ting of; last week. As J. R. Govenlock
of Winthrop, was driving along Con-
cession 8 and 9, McKillop, he .lost
control of one of the lines when •near-
ing Mrs. "Murehie's store, and the
horse dashing violently around the
corner threw the occupants out of. the
buggy , and ran for a short distance
before it ' became entangled in ' the
.harness. The occupants were not in-
jured, -
Last fall Mr. D. D. Wilson sunk a
well near his barn on ;thy Adams
farm. When a 'depth of 28 feet was
reached a strong spring was struck
and during the whole of this dry sea-
son the well has been overflowing.
The flow is sufficient strong to cart'
the water into pipes into the barn-
yard. The water is pure and cold,
but has a strong taste of iron.
Mr, -Thomas •Govenlock, of McKillop
is the first to report new wheat for
this season.
All the public business places were
closed on Wednesday afternoon last

Have you ever spent an eternity in
a few seconds? I did so yesterday
while balancing on a small mat which
seemed determined to scoot all over
a smooth, polished floor. The trou-
ble in thls case was •. that I had a
small basket of eggs• and a jar of
maple syrup ire my hands. Every
time I tried to move one foot from
the mat it would scoot along at a tre-
mendous speed. Finally making a
dash for the safety • of a doorway
the mat curled up under my
toot . . . and I crashed' into a flower
stand
This incident came about because of
kindness. Mrs. Phil braving an aunt
in town who was feeling indisposed,
decided that I should deliver a jar of
maple syrup to her bedside. ' As. an
added token, she placed two dozen
fresh eggs in a basket, and with de-
tailed instructions as to how I was
to express my sorrow, at "Auntie's"
illness I was sent off.
The trip into town was without in-
cident. A pretty, little -maid- met nee
at the door, looked surprised that a
man who hadn't shaved for two clays
arta who wore overalls that were chop
specked could be any relation to the
folks who lived in such a fine, big
house. ' I 'was left standing -at the
doorway, while she consulted inside.
Finally she admitted me.' "
Travelling down the hallway wasn't
too. bad. Then I was admitted into
a large room and told to walk across
it to a side room where Auntie was
in bed. The floor was polished so
higihly • that you could see your own
reflection in its surface. There were
little mats dotted here and there, like
islands on a clear lake surface.
0 :r: " *
I started out . . . zip .. . first
one way . . , and then the other .
lurching and. lunging . . . and recov-
ering balance only to lose it again.
The eggs were rolling and the maple
syrup was slipping from my •hands. I
let ,the hat go and managed to get.
on a small mat , . It crumpled up
and I slithered for the doorway -land-
ing, up on top of ,e potted 'plant.
Te make matters worse, Auntie be-
gan to cry. The noise of Phil Osifer
encountering a potted palm was 'too
much for ber' delicate nerves and be-
sides they had lots of eggs- She
wouldn't eat any eggs except those
•
that were goverment -graded
and she d'ldetn like maple syrup.
I can understand why doctors have
highly polished floors. It's just like
taking an insurance policy to assure
good, business. In a way, you might
give the .,same reason for polished
floors in (hospitals. On the other hand
what possible good do they do dent-
ists? After all, • the number of times
that you land en your face in falling
would not even return interest on the
money invested by dentist in the slip-
pery form of floors,
Grandfathernever. did take much
'stock in floors. When he built the
Osifer liomeetead •he used the rough
boards for the flooring. According to
him, floors should be covered with
carpets and the knots won't show un-
der a covering. That worked very
well in his day and age, but by the
time that mother took over the =place
linoleum was beginning to come in.
How mother used' to complain
about those floors.! Mrs. Phil is just
the same way: She carefully built up
layer upon layer of newspapers on
the front parlor floor. When she fig-
ured that the knots and. slivers were
covered' cup; spe lad the linoleum
placed. For quite some time every-
thing looked fine! Gradually howev-
er, the newspapers began to wear
down . , . and the knots began to
peek up through the floor covering.
Ridges began to form, caused by the
gaps between the warped boards of
the flooring.
Mrs. Phil has been determined for
some time to have a new floor in that
front room. I listened to her, just as
all men do, when their wives want
something and murmured that I would
do something about it the next time
I was in town. This morning she has
adopted new tactics. Knowing of my
encounter with, the polished floor in
town, she announced today that she
is thinking of having a man from town
put in a polished hardwood floor.
The matter is now settled. In the
front room of the house we are go-
ing to^have a new flooring. However,
it will be a smooth, unpolished floor
covered by a rug . . i. not an expen-
sive rug ... but one with enough fab-
ric that there will be no chance of
slipping.
:JUST A SMILE OR TWO:
While examining a class in gram-
mar the inspector wrote a sentence
on the blackboard and asked if any
boy could .see anything peculiar about
it.
After a Tong pause one small boy
put up his hand slowly.
"Yes," said the inspector encouf-
agingly,"what do you see remarkable
about it?"
"Please, sir, the bad writing;
replied the youngster,
•
Governess: "Don't you like that
poem, `Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,
how I wonder what you are'?"
Little Waldo: ;'No. Why wonder
about the elements of a star when a
simple •spectrum analysis willsolve
the question?"
•
Teacher (to Tommy, who has been•
absent and missed history): "You
have a Ion of work to make up. How
long have you been off?"
Tommy: "Since tate. French Revo-
lution, sir."
Old Darkey (to friend) : "I hear's
you is going to pay me that dollar
you owe me. Is you?"
Friend: "Well, I ain't sayin' I.
ain't,"
Old• Darkey (severely): "I ain't
asking you is you ain't, I'm askin'
you ain't you is?"
•
"What is the formula for water?"
asked, the science master of a class
of junior boys.
He picked" out one of the boys to
answer,
"HIJKLMNO," spent out the boy in
question.
e "What's that?" cried.. the .master. •
The boy looked up at him he ob
bious surprise, then slowly repeated
the letters, "HIJKLMNO."
"What on earth are you driving
at? Who gave you that funny idea?'
asked his teacher.
"You; sir-, was the boy's reply

of military" experience in France, with
out a wound or a day's sickness. Out
side of the "bad spots," the war was
for him a "great show." Three men
tions in dispatches, Military Cross
and Distinguished Service Order are
testimony of the sort of soldier he
made, but even better evidence is the
regard .in which he is held by the
men who served under him.
He rose to be A.A. &. Q.M.G. of the
1st Division in France, and after the
armistice stayed behind to wind up
the Division's affairs' in France and
Belgium, only returning to Canada in
October, 1919.
By that time Beverly, Browne knew
that his proper, niche in life was the
army, and he settled down in the

BEAVER COMING BACK
The beaver, Canada's, best known-
animal,
nown-animal, is making a strong comeback
on preserves in the James Bay area.
,E.stiinates place the. beaver Maga-
tions of these sanctuaries in. excess
of 8,000 compared with 230' in 1933,
when, thefi
. rst of the preserves was
established'.
Restoration of the beaver in the In-
terests of the Indian population has-
been made possible through the co-
operation of ,the Hudson's Bay Com-
pany, the Dominion Government, and.
the Quebec and Ontario Governments'.
Ttho first of these sanctuaries was es-=
!tablis'hed In 1933 at Rupert's Hous"e,
Quebec, where the Hudson's Bay
Company leased. an area of 7,000
square miles for a fifteen -year period,
A survey of this preserve in the aut-
umn of 1933 showed a beaver popu-
lation of only 162, but with the In-
dians acting as game wardens rather
than trappers the beaver resipoeded
rapidly to the protection afforded
them. By 1936 the number of beaver
in the preserve had increased to 1,044
and by the autumn- of 1940 had reach-
ed 6,454. Trapping of the beaver in
this preserve was started in the 1939-
40 season, when 500 were taken, and
it is planned to trap a similar number
in 1940.41.
Adjoining the Rupert's House Beav-
er Preserve is an area of 13,000 square
miles set aside in August, 1938, as a
beaver preserve for the exclusive use
of the Indians of the region, In it no
trapping will be permitted until the
beaver population -reaches 4,000, when
only Indians will be permitted. to trap.
This preserve is operated under the
supervision of the Hudson's Bay Cone
piny with the Indians acting as game
wardens and .conducting censuses of
the beaver. In tihree years of opera-
tion the beaver population of this
huge sanctuary has increased from
254 to 730.
Two beaver preserves in the James
Bay area are located nen Charlton Is-
land and,Akimiski Island, both in the
Northwest Territories. Charlton Is-
land was established a beaver sanc-
tuary in 1933 when 68 beaver were
liberated on it. Under the watchful,
eyes of an Indian resident guardian
the beaver population of this sanctuary
has increased to about 700 "animals,
and trapping operations were begun
in the 1939-40 season. Eight beaver
were introduced to Akimiski. Island
in 1935,, and a count made in 1939 in-
dicated a beaver reputation of 250.
This island sanctuary•has an area of
900 square miles and should eventual-
ly support about 6,000 beaver.
The important work of restoring°
the beaver will be further extended
next spring as a result of the estab-
lishment of the Kapisko Beaver Pre-
serve in Ontario, 'north of the, mouth
of the Albany River on James, Bay..
Under an agreement between the On-
tario...rGovernment- and the Hudson's
Bay Compapy a Marge area has been
set aside for five. years as ,a beaver
sanctuary. The Dominion Govern-
ment is co-operating by permitting
the Hudson's Bay Company to stock
this new sanctuary .with adult beaven
from Charlton Island, The Company
is to assume control of .the Kapisko
Preserve and when the beaver..have
increased sufficiently trapping priv-
ileges will be'granted to Indians lily,.
