SEAFORTH, Friday, May 4th, 1945 Not Yet! No doubt like many another town on Saturday night, Seaforth crashed the ttarting gate, in an endeavor to be one of the first to celebrate a declaratio-n of peace and, no doubt, like other towns, it felt a little cheap at losing its head over a false rumor. The war in Europe is not over yet. ,But when it hascreached that stage; we have the assurance of General, Eisenhower that he will personally announce the glad tidings. Until tlien there is no need to, keep - within hearing of a radio, or to keep • our -ears cosked to take in every idle rumor that circulates on the streets or over the air, or in some irrespons- ible newspaper. Until then, too, we 'can safely leave the setting off of the fire siren and the ringing of bells to the town authorities, whose duty and whose pleasure it will ,certainly be to make the official announcement. Otherwise, there will only be chaos. And -after all, we are not just , waiting to partake .in a celebration, but more particularly to take part in a service of tliankSgivilig. It is a • sober time. It is true the war in Europe has reached its closing days, and will end in our favor, but the war in the Pacific is only in its be- ginning, and there• are many dark days...yet befm •e) us, before we can • celebrath the end of war: - Farmers Getting Anxious Farmers in the district are begin- ning to show some signs of uneasi- ness over th&weather conditions of the last month. F'Or some"reason" this year, April came ahead of March. 'Or sd it seemed. From first to last, March' was , much more like- the 'last spring month than the first. The snow van- ished as if by magic. There were warm rains and warm sunshine. The land dried out, and most of the seed- ing was finished under, almost per- fect conditions. Itlooked like, an un- usually early . spring, and an unus- ually favOrable one. And' then came April, but unfor- tunately it came in the garb of March, and March at its meanest, at that. he sun' lost its warmth, cold winds and ,snow and ice" followed, and _growth came to a conaplete - standstill. The .leaf • buds • on the trees just stayed as buds. :Fall, wheat came on with a rush, and look- ed so good, then turned red and yel- low and sat still: ' Spring crops that were beginning to show through, ,'stopped where they were, and. hundreds of, other seeded -acres showed no signs of life. 'Feed ,was geeting. short, and there was no pasture to receive the' barns full of cattle. No wOnder the farm: er was getting -anxious. Some have 'even told is that much land would . have to be re-sqeded. It is pretty much that way still: But it might be a good deal worse. The wheat has. not been injured, only • thecked. •, It Was coming too fast -anyway. Just heading for a bumper • harvest of straw. And one very 'practical .farmer has told us that if the laild is well drained and -other- wise in' good condition, one can not Seed too early. Growth will come in time, this farmer sold, and although fields may *LAI* appear„Ipatchy,Lif_one is atient, helvill find that there is no 14;sea'' A week'or two will er116y. even aeo, iU weel &d the World is praying 'vvt the Armer for that favorable ehallg% temae vithot pod crops, good times- and prosperity on the farm, there can be no real or lasting prosperity for the rest of the world. -of* the,vvb4 aco o • 1140P ::«.a;coup • Slave Labor One of the great facts which have emerged from this war is that the much -tooted German military qual- ity of foresight sums up to one thing, and one only. They started earlier ,than the Allies. . Germany, it is said,. now has more planes than she had before D -Day, but not enough gas or trained pilots to fly them. That arose from the fact that when the Allies first began to pound their aircraft, factories, these factories went underground or were dispersed over the country, but their best and biggest synthetic ail production plants were kept in pro- duction at their original places, until the Allies' finally reached and, de- stroyed them. Germany's program of dispersal of plants came too late. The German jet planes, it is °said, mit have changed the, outcome of the war, but they too, came to late. In fact all' through the German mili- tary picture, although their vast re- serves of everything are, impressive, Germany's primary mistake has al - „.ways been to do things' too late. Never again will the world be fool- ed by Permany's presumption of foresight and superior ability. The, war picture silo -Ws clearly now that they merely got an evil idea early and started' to build for war earlier than their opponents. The one really secret weapon of the Germans, in their ability to re- build and produce so much, during this hard fought war, was the slave labor supply. It is no wonder that Germamplants the Allies considered knocked 'out for months, were back in production in a feiy weeks. Al - 'though too late, the Germans., have utilized to the full «their one advant- age„ which civilized countries could never have, an unlimited supply of slave labor facing the kind of end which has been seen at Buchenwald and many other camps now freed by Allied armies. Still the Allies—are winning- the war in spite of the fact that they are, facing this unfair competition of an early start on an evil program,, in addition to unlimited, forces of slave labor to niakie -up for German 1-nis- takes, of which there have been plenty.', What is being laid bare day by day concerning these 'slave camps in. Germany must show the\ Allies that they face in Europe, when 'the war ends, ,a job of mental slunr-ofearance that makes the war effort look pale in comparison. I n Mussolini's, End Mussolini is dead. Shot in the back, as patriots 'treat 'traitors to their country, his dead bods was taken to Milan; where it was viewed and reviled 'by thousands of his vic- tims. It was not a pretty sight, news- paper correspondent § saS-, but a fit- ting end to a tyrant. Twenty years ago in the same city-, he founded his Fascist Party, which, he claimed, was formed to benefit the masses, . and ended up in making him a ruth- less Caesar. In seven years aS leader of Fasc- ism, he became an'oabsolute ruler, with the life and death, of the people of the Italian nation Under his sole control, and;he led 'thern into war, into starvation and into ruin. He became so drunk with power that his ambition knew no bpurids. He stabbed tritain, 'the greatest friend and benefactor the Italian nation had ever known, in the 'back. He coached and abetted his colleague Hitler. MS rise was phenomenal; his, end degading, but it -is the end, for him.

A year ago there were 195 million bushels of wheat in country elevators and 'an estimated 210 mil- lion bushels on farms. Farm stocks have 'Ohs declined, by '56 million bushels despite a much 'better 'crop in 1944 than ie 1943 and the reduced :use of wheat for -live stock feed,' More generous delivry quotas in the Prairie, Provinces have permitted farmers to, move more grain into commercial channels. Farm stocks of wheat in the'Prairie provinces 'accounted for 149 million bushels -of the total 154 millbl bush- els" held on farms. The 'quantity of Wheat on' farms', in Maniteiba- is esti- mated at 14 million bushels'; In Sas- katchewan, at 90 million bush'els', .and in Alberta at 45 million bushels: From this grain will be taken seed for the 1945 crop and feed for live Stock and Poultry during the remaining third of the drop year,' leaving' the balance available, for delivery .or carry-over at duly 31:st.
