Death claimed one of Hensal'l's• very
beloved and most highly esteemedcit-
izens in the person of Mr. George
Douglas, who passed to his great re-
ward Sunday morning, August 2, fol-
lowing an illness which caused him
considerable suffering and which he
bore with Christian fortitude. Mr
Douglas had been in poor health for
somt months, but only recently was
stricken and confined to his bed.
blood transfusions were given to him
and everything possible in the way of
medical science was administered, but
to no avail, and on Sunday last he
passed away. The deceased who was
in his 7.6th year, was .born in Blake
and for some time farmed in that sec-
tion. For a considerable period he
lived in -Zurich' and Seaforth before
taking up residencehere, where he
has been a very prominent citizen for
some 25 years. He was a valued
member of the United Church and
his loss will be keenly felt there and
in the home where he will be sadly
missed, and by a host of neighbors
and friends in the village and sur-
rounding community.' Surviving his
loss is one daughter, Miss Irene
Douglas, at home, who gave him un-
tiring care and devotion during his
illness. His wife predeceases him
some twelve years. ago. Three bro-
thers, William, Brucefield; Robert, of
Kapasckasing, and Irwin, of the West-
ern province, and one sister, Mrs. Ed.
McAsh, of London, also survive. A

MORE WOOL ISNEEDED
for Canada's -.War Effort
CO-OPERATE IN ONTARIO'S EFFORT TO PRODUCE
MORE WOOL. HELP INCREASE THE SIZE AND
NUMBER OF ONTARIO SHEEP FLOCKS
RODUCING more wool to clothe Canada's fighting forces and her
civil population is a vital task which deserves the earnest, consider-
ation of every Ontario farmer. A brief study of the wool production
of North America and of world conditions occasioned by the war
reveals an alarming situation that calls for straight thinking and
forthright speaking. .
North -American Wool Production' 1941
North .American Wool Consumption 1941
Canada 10,200,000 lbs. Canada ' 109,000,000 lbs.
455,000,000 lbs. United ,States 977,000,000 lbs.
• 474,200,000 lbs. Total
L086,000,000 lbs.
DEFICIT 611,800,000 lbs.
You can see that with shipR.ing space at a premium and with every merchantman
a target for enemy submarines, /the situation is -indeed critical. More wool must
be produced at home and it's up to Ontario farmers to help produce it.
The Ontario Department of Agriculture is working to effect an increase of 25%
in this province. To do this, all present flocks must be kept, and in addition,
110,000 ewe lambs from the 1942 crop must be kept on The farm. If every
present flock owner kept three ewes from this crop, most of the increase would
be obtained. But since many sheep owners cannot accommodate any more animals,
the Department is asking Ontario farmers to establish 1,000 new flocks which
will absorb all surplus ewe lambs. 'Your Agricultural Representative wilt be able
to put you in touch with mep who have latnbs for sale or men who wish to
purchase them.
In establishing 1,000- new flocks, it is intended that expansion take place by
counties in proportion to the present sheep population. You will see what
expansion must be accomplished in your county in the lists below.
