As Others See Us
The contribution that Canada has
made, and is „still making, to the pre-
sent war effort, has recently been,
ably and sincerely set forth by Wal-
ter Winchell, ... the noted American
newspaper�columnist,• in a series of
articles published in United States
newspapers from the Atlantic to the,
Pacific.
Mr. Winchell's articles, some of
which have been published in this
paper; have, apparently, proved an
eye opener to the American public,
and have met with an appreciation
that was not only ' unexpected, but
sincere, and have undoubtedly done
much to further the good feeling be;
tween the people of the United
States and Canada.
Writing to . his own paper, The
Kelowna, B.C., Courier, ,Roy Mc-
Lean, one of the Canadian news-
paper men touring the British Isles,
presents` a most interesting answer
to the question,, so often asked:
"Shat do. the British think of Can-
ada's war effort?" This is Mr. Mc
Lean's answer;
"The • pram we received, simply
because were were Canadians, was
almost embarrassing. Wherever we
we'nt,. the .people made it a point to
tell. us that they thought Canada has
ice a wonderful job. Arid they
•
were sincere. -
"The one Canadian whom they as-
sociated with Canada's war effort
more than , anyone else is, naturally,
Mackenzie King. In Britain, he is
given credit for much of Canada's
Contribution. He is looked upon ov-
er there in much the same light that
Churchill and Roosevelt are looked
Upon here. And here a passing
;thought might be . interjected. • If
Churchill were to face an election
on a domestic issue, or if Roosevelt
were to do. the same, each would be • -
defeated. Difficult for us in this
country to appreciate, but I believe
that statement would be correct in
both countries.
"Perhaps the reason that Canada's
war effort is appreciated in Britain
is due to the fact that they can see
a -great many of the tangible results
which we in Canada miss. They see
Canadian foodstuffs which .have
been pouring into. the country. They
see Canadian military trucks- and
other equipment. They see thou-
sands
• "of . Canadian troops, and they
see the thousands of "Canada's on
• the shoulders -of our airmen. •
"While Canadian troops are now
overshadowed by the large .;numbers"--'
-- of Ainericans there, the.. British peo-
ple have not forgotten that it was
the Canadians who marched off the
ships and stood • beside them- : when
they faced the ' enemy across the
Channel.'
"It was the presence of the Cana-
dians in - this country which made us
realize that we were not quite alone
after Dunkirk, one prominent man
isaid to me.. It is impossible to tell
you liOw much that meant to the
people of this country in those bad
days. - We knew we had at least one
friend who was willing to stand and
fight with us. And it meant a lot
that you came to us, not for help,'
bat • to help; and that you came of
- _ ronr, own free will."
That is what Britain thinks of
'Canada's war effort, and, perhaps,
aid rn*y be a little surprising to -a
meat many Canadian people. Per-
ps, too, we are a little too close to
thii gs here to get a proper persppec-
e of what Canada and its Gov-
1rYient art- rl al%yJ a;ceoluplishing in
er.' All We, see—or ... or want to

Telling The Time
Because clocks and watches are
practically off the market in Britain,
and repairs for the same entirely so,
the people of that country , have
many odd -ways of telling the time
of day.
If a fond mother happens to live
near 'a bombing station, she knows
it is school time for Willie because
the bombers are going over.
Residents of. seaside towns have
had the time difficulty solved for
thein. They need neither alarm
clocks for early morning calls, nor
dinner gongs. The , rattle of fire
from coastal patrol aircraft testing
their . machine guns awakens them
at 6.30 o'clock each morning, and the
roar of the returning planes calls
them . to supper each evening.
In -the city many carry watches
which never... gain and never lose
time because they never go. But
like other people, the : city man has
found a way to tell him the time, in
the morning, at least, and that is the
most important as he has to get to •-
work on time. In the evening it does
not matter so much, as his appetite
is a pretty good sign that it is time
to get home again.
This. is the procedure he follows
in the. morning. On his way to work,
when he comes to a clearing which
houses a • barrage balloon station—
and he can hardly miss one of these
—and finds that the jumping stands
the Waafs who. "man" the station,
use for their early morning exercis-
es, have been taken down, he knows
he has got to get a move on if he is
going to reach.' his city office in time.,
In the' country the -land girls work-
ing the farms never miss the alarm
clock or. the . clock chimes. Some-
- where about five or 5.15 a.m. each
morning, she is awakened by the
rustling and stamping on the ground
as the cows gather at the gate lead-
ing to the milking place, and by the
time the foam reaches the top of her
first milking pail, the roosters are
calling the rest of the rural com-
munity to get up and get to work.
Although riiost British people now
get up earlier in the morning than'
they did before the war, very few of
them qualify for a permit before
they can purchase an alarm clock
from the United States. These clocks.
are not only extremely scarce, but
the regulations state that only .the
person who must be out -of bed be-
fore 5 a.m. each day, may purchase
o one, even if he is lucky • enough to
get a permit.
' Can You Guess?
In the e year 1931, domestic air-
planes carried over 470,000 passen-
gers.
In 1941 similar planes carried over
4,000,000 passengers,
Can you guess the number of pas-
sengers domestic planes will be
carrying in the year of grace, 1951?
Wl'II it be 'double, or triple there-
cord of 1941, or will alI' passenger
traffic be by air?

Me
like Easter in our little eeillage.
It has Sort of an atmosphere about
it that's herd to find anywhere else.
We usually go in to the village from
the farm on Easter morning to go to
church, and ttfien we drop in for din-
ner at the Anderson's.' We've been
doing that for years and it's a custom
that we find very pleasant,.
Driving, in to the village on Easter,
;morning' you sort of sense a differ-
ence. Everythilig is actually the
same' -as .always but a" person has a
different outlook ,on the world and
that's why you think it has changed.
Usually we have a bright sun.for
Easter Sunday and that in itself is
enough to put anybody in good Hum-
our; 'The roads are drying up with
only the 'occasional bog -hole left to
remind you that Jack Frost is giving
up with a struggle. '
We have quite a •fes, birds here by
Easter.. There's-riething like the pert
chirruping of a robin on Easter morn-
ing to make you feel like singing
yourself.. The',sparrows . are flitting
around as usual, but in addition to
that thereare other birds, back from
that legendary wintering spot of
theirs to cheer us up and make the
summer a time of enjoyment as well
as hard work.
I like the sound of church_bells in
the village. If you get ito' the vil-
lage early you'll hear them starting
first in the little old ohurch down
beside the river , and then closer
as the modern brick church on Main
Street starts up ,, and they all
seem to blend as the chapel, •bells
peal out, The air seems filled with
golden and metallic music. It floods
over the ,little village . .. 'a blanket
of sweet chiming and ringing. .Eas-
ter is . here and we can forget and
he happy if only for a little time.
People start coming up the little
side streets' , , , by ones and twos
. i AO*
and families. At "Hist they seem to
Lome 'slowly just strolling along
... early for church. ''rhenrtl a crowd,
of people thickens. •'Deeseed up' irt'
their. Faster finery they make certain
of walking down Main•Streete-There's
no 'thought of taking a slasrrtweut oil
a day such as this, This is a day
on which a person must see and hie'
seen.
Our church is decorated with Eas-
ter lilies and everything le 'scrubbed
and poljahed to the glistening 'Pant.
The clergyman ... 'as all' Clergymen
de on Easter..._ . - gives a sermon
that makes you feel refreshed: and
happy.. The folks are• quite intent on
church, but they do manage tei get
in a fair examination of each others
new clothes. You "can just see the
Women cataloguing each other's hats
that's from the cataliigue :'
that's from the; little sh f, ,in the vsll-•
lags that's; . frolic town and
that s last •year's with a• nd v feather
or. ribl rtii
After ehureh; the Hepple stand
around and talk. Th'e' women dine
quite pad of ltemselves and the
young fellbws w o have• ad'vance'd
from short pante ar"e gf�td' inteuC oti
displaying ,their long trousers.' Then
they stroll of slowly for home and
Easter dtuner. That I might sayis
also an institution . . , eggs , . . and
ham . , . and candies ... and maple
syrup , , , freh from the sugar bush-
es of the district . , . and hot buns
and biscuits and other delicat:ies.
In the afternoon the youngsters get
Out for a frolic . , the lovers go
strolling and •the women -folk talk ov-
er the .new clothee seen at church in
the morning and the men smoke
cigars and talk. Everything is • in
harmony. Somehow or other; Easter
is one day when you -can count on a
fair share of people being happy, and
it's a grand experience.
r; JUST A . SMILE OR TWO
The Young Man: "May I ask, sir, •
if you would consider letting me mar-
ry your. daughter?'
Lawyer McNab: "No, 1 wouldn't
consider it under any circumstances.
Six shillings llneleeight teem; please,"
•
When the visitor was "shown eto
the manager's private room he re-
marked:
That new clerk of yours • seems a
hard worker."
"Yes," replied the other; "that's
his specialty,"
- "What,' working hard?"
"No, seeming to."
•
"Well, when does the ,fun start?"
asked the prisoner, after he had
spent a day in jail. '
"What fun?" asked the warden.
"There's no fun here."
"Well, I'm blowed!" gasped the
' prisoner. "And the judge distinctly
told me that I was coming here for
the time of my fife."
Mrs. Houser (hearing tremendous
noise in the kitchen): "Great good-
ness, Bridget, .what was that — an
earthquake shock?."
Bridget (calmly picking up -the
piece of glass): "No, .mum, only a
little jar."
•
Entering the newly -opened shop,.
the commercial traveller exclaimed
cheerfully:
"Good morning, Mr. Smith! 'How's
trade?"
"Not so good."
"I'm sorry to hear it."
"Yes," Mr. Smith went on; "when
a Iaddie came into :the shop yester-
day and asked for an empty box, my
assistant gave him the. till."

Agriculture --Faun News
uronh Federation Of
Tens -of. Thousands Required For
Food • Production
Under the urgent necessity of
greater food production as an essen-
tial to victory in the war, the Ontario
Farm Service Force is issuing a
strong appeal to high school students,
boys .and girls, 'to volunteer for farm
work this summer. These volunteed
workers are needed to •take the places
of thousands of, young farmers who,
as members of" the army, navy and
air force, are producing victories in-
stead of crops. The need, for more
food to prevent shortages is more
urgent than at any previousperiod of
the war, -because of the greater needs
of the invasion armies and the starv-
ing liberated people of Europe: On-
tario farmers can produce the neces-
sary food, but they cannot do it un-
less tens of thousands of high school
students volunteer to spend their
holidays as part of the student alley
of the land.
To fill up the farm camps open ed
by the Ontario Farm Service F ce
in conjunction, with the Y,M.C.A, ncj
,Y.W.C.A., over 4,000 boys and. 4,000
girls will be needed. In addition'
many thousands more will be requir,
ed for work on individual- selected
farms, where good homes, the best of
food and attractive rates of paywill
beprovi.ded,
The Department of,. Education has
issued an • order permitting students
to leave school after April 28th to
Work on farms. •These studentsmust
have a 50 per cent standing on the
year's work, must have a farm job to
go to either on their own farm or
any other ,Ontario farm, and must
undertake to work at least a mini-
mum of 13 weeks.
Last year boys and girls in the
Farm Service camps earned over half
a millioin dollars, in spite of the bad
season, and this year more students
than ever will be required. Most -of
those who were' in the camps last
year are expected to go there again
this year and they are urged to bring
along with then',, as many of their
friends as possible, so that they will
have congenial friends in their camp
life. The camps will again be under
the expert supervision of trained
Y,M.C.A, arid Y,W.C.A. workers Who
will not only look after the comfort
and feeding of the campers, but will
organize enjoyable • and healthful
spare -time' recreational and entertain-
ment activities.
Applications for farm work from
students, either for the canape or for
individual.,farans,, are now being re-
ceived, and all,:boys• and': girls wishing.
to volunteer for this necessary patri-
otic , serdic'e are:urged, to apeltr at

eases Act of Ontario, respecting con-
trol of Bacterial Ring Rot Disease in,
potatoes.
Albert Linstead, of 'Sharon, a York)
County farmer, was fined $25.00 and
costs when he pleaded guilty in magi-
strate's court at Newmarket on Tues-
day, March' 21st.
Milton Murphy, of Cookstown, a
South Simcoe County farmer, was
fined $5.00 and costs amounting to a
total of $51.4 or one month in jail
"when he was convicted on a plea of
not guilty, in magistrate's court -at
Barrie on March 22nd.
In both cases the disease was found
on the farmer's premises during the
early part of last September. Official
notices were then sent to each out-
lining procedures eto be followed cin
disposing of the crops and clean'in'g
up 'the disease. Officials working un-
der the Aot endeavoured to assist,
but these two farmers ignored all
regulations and assistance. •
The disease • was found in Ontario
during the 1938 season and has been
traced on several occasions to infec-
tion frons either seed or used potato
bags from New Brunswick. As the
result, the disease has gradually in-
creased until 157 cases were reported
to the Department in. 1943, involving
more than 1,200 acres of potatoes.
Losses varied from a' small amount
up to 30 per cent le more..
Considering that the 1943,estimated
value of potato drops in. Ontario was
more• than- 17 million •dollars,• the dis-
ease has become a serious threat- to
the potato industry. 'Plant patholo-
gists state, and most potato growers,
who have had experience with the dis-
ease, readily -agree, that Bacterial;
Ring Rot is one of the most infec-
tious and destructive seed -borne pota-
to diseases on the continent of
America.
Food Prospects in Germany Reviewed
• In an analysis of the food' 'situation
in Germany' in the monthly review
"Foreign Agriculture," issued by the
Office of Foreign Agricultural Rela-
tions, Washington, .D:C., it is stated
that Germany's production and con-
sumption of food thus far in this war
have.. been .sustained at satisfactory
levels far above those of 1914-18. In
contrast to the situation in 1914, Ger-
many's food economy in 1939 'teas well
prepared • for war. Over 85 per cent
of the nation's food' was produced
from ,domestic sources,' the.•oulyw sub-
stantiai deficits •being in No and oils.
