Powell, Prcsidcrtt WHY NOT? We most respectfully, but urgently suggest that the town fathers see to it that the streets of this good town are sanded when and where necessary. Our columns report a large number of serious accidents due to, icy sidewalks, We said something about this before hut our request has not been granted. Why is this sanding not done? Should an accident occur through the neglect of the sanding, who is to pay the piper? The safety of His Majesty's sub­ jects is the first duty of His Majesty’s government, sort take an ugly turn at prevention, times. ’ ‘ .

Canadians have Other things simply must wait, Comforts don’t WST The oncoming Victory Loan no thought of doing anything else. Many a comfort will need to go by the board, count when necessity calls. . Would it not be wise for the government to reserve a consid­ erable sum for the small earner and the folk living on savings in the sere and yellow days of their existence? In this way small earn­ ers and those living on small sayings may be able to buy ‘bonds directly from the government and at the same time have very much needed interest coming from time to time. The sum thus reserved by the government need not be so large that it will interfere with the next inevitable loan, but it should be sufficiently large to allow the parties mentioned to purchase bonds between the two loans. ♦ « * * * * * * THE SPIRIT LIVES •' "We’re just carrying on,” a matron of Usborne township told us this week. "We have two hundred acres. My husband suffers acutely from rheumatism. The boy at home is but a boy. Our eldest son is in the navy. We haven't heard from him since De­ cember. You know what is going on in the Atlantic, All of us at home are just doing our level best to keep the farm work up.” "And what about the sugai- rationing?” we' asked. ’ "I got my usual supply last Saturday night. When that is used up, we’ll get our allowance and-so on as best" we can; If my hoy is offering his life, surely we can do without, odds and ends of little things, simply must win.” This is the spirit that filled the breasts of the mothers of country. Side by side they stood with their men. When Hitlers of those far-off days threatened the very existence of province, these women loaded the muskets their husbands required and carried water to the hard-pressed little garrisons. Whoever fails in this hour of crisis, it will not be the farm women. M Xt « > » We this the this BRITAIN’S HOBBLE For the. most. part, January closed upon Britain retreating before her enemies, Britain’s courage is high, but she is getting Hie ugly end of the stick, as far as the war is concerned. In such a< case there is nothing to be gained but much to be lost by blinking the facts. Even less is there to be gained by guessing .that we’ll win in the end, when that guess is based on ignorance of the facts; For the’ hobble in which she finds herself, she is to blame to a disturbingly large extent. Years age she elected a government that utterly overlooked the facts as they were. Voters listened to the men who told them what they wanted to be told. When better councils prevailed late in the day these very voters supported the wiser -men with niggard, supplies and niggard approval. The Sabbath day was thrown to the winds. The Bible was treated as a fetish’ or a charm. A higlvseriousness in the pursuit of things, excellent was little thought about. Glowing patriotism was sneered at. Leaders in the country’s business placed the ballot box above their nation’s weal. Little did, they care .how proposed and enacted legislation affected their country’s weal. And now we have the war, a War that found us half armed and poorly armed, when we were armed at all. Slowly, we are realizing that the hobbles and fetters that impede us are of our own forging and of our own riveting.* * * * * * * * PAY’ ’EM AND BUY ’EM Usually we grouch a bit and 'then pay our taxes, grumbling more or less good naturedly all the while. We wish we could get rid of the things, we say, forgetting meanwhile that taxes are the ■price we pay for living in this good land. But we’re getting over it. Just the other day a lady was bttying a watch. "The price is thirteen dollars, you said?” “Yes, madam, with the tax additional.” "And I’ll pay it glacily. You see, my boy is in the navy!” And therd you are. We have rooms ovex' oui- heads. / The boys and girls go to school. That lad and his lassie go to the show and to their work. That man and that woman get married. We go to the .store, the farm, the playhouse and the workshop, all be­ cause those men are in the air or on the sea or wearing the king’s uniform. We get off easily, we people who pay taxes. Johnny may wear a patch on his trousers. Mary will need to repair her pinny and her dress. Madam will need to measure .the last grain of sugar, in order that those taxes of one sort and another may be paid, but better to pay tax^s, brother John Citizen, than to pay tribute. We’ll have to scrimp and save, but we’ll be free. Yes, we like to pay our taxes. That’s the way we’ll keep from tasting Hitler’s dog whip. cal research, program, community singing.

BE A BIT PATIENT Patience is an ancient virtue that always brings advantage to those who exercise it. Of course we have the war in mind. We know that Japan is getting; the best of it in the Pacific. We kn$w too, that the United States and Great Britain are gaining on her. We know too, that the Pearl Harbour incident was an exhibition of unpardonable dereliction of duty on the part of the officials in charge of American air and navy forces. We know, also, that the United States is dealing with the offenders without ahy wirepulling and without the foul- touch of the selfseeking hand. We believe that .Britain is going on the principle of cleaning up as she goes. She sees Germany as the powder and shot of the present situation and is seeking to give Russia all the aid possible in cleaning up the terrible European mess. Hitlerism, she sees, must be destroyed. The next step “Will be to clean up op Japan. This she'll do by unit­ ing with Russia and Chiba. Japan once beaten in her own country, that is, when Tokio bends the knees to the allies, oilier situations will clear themselves up one by one. As far as the human eye can see this moment, the struggle will be one that will try the withers of the best soul? in Christendom.

Profound students of anatomy Indeed, We and feet _ r . , „ or something like that, tell us that our ancestors had tails, these same wise folk inform us that our bodies still have rudimentary caudal appendages. Then those deeply learned folk who deal in sociology enlighten our minds by saying that these tails were worn off by a miserable habit of sitting inround. But such themes are far beyond the powers of a mere editor and we leave tlie field of science to the clever and the highbrowed. Just now we are pondering deeply on the way we must Use more shoe leather and a whole lot less in the way of rubber tires. We’ll jitst have to walk where once we lorded it about in ohr four-wheeled compendiums of happiness (and financial embarrassment). We’ll have to walk more. We know something about this exercise. We Walked two miles to 'School, mostly in Our bare feet. We walked three miles to Sunday school and church, wearing misery-making boots and tt stiff shirt and a tight dollar and a miserable excuse for a straw Sunday hat. We drove the harrows from early morn to dewy eve. We carried our weekly supply of grub as we went to high school. We’ve Walked eight iliiles of a Sunday as we carried out our special duties. We walked more thah that during "the week days”, for a rarity. All this did for us was to Increase our appetite and aid us in keeping "the doctor away.” So let us take to walking, head Up, chest out, taking a yard at a stride and so look the whole world im the face as we maintain that schoolgirl complexion. Better to walk than to back-step for Hitler or Japan. f A joint meeting of the Publicity Committee and the chairman and. vice-chairman of Huron County Second Victory Loan Organization; was held in the town hall, Clin­ ton, last Thursday evening41. The meeting was very largely attended by representatives from all parts of the County, Mr, Charles Saunders, of Coder-] ich, chairman of the Publicity Com­ mittee, presided and delegates were welcomed by Mr. G. L. Parsons, county chairman, in opening the meeting, Mr. Saunders stated that the wdr had to be won, and to do that money had to be obtained. "The tremendous expenditure ne­ cessary cannot all be obtained from taxation; therefore this loan will have to go over—pr else,” he said, indicating that if those able to subscribe did not do so more dras­ tic mean? would have to be found for insuring their suport time, "Huron County has always over the top before and again this time,” said ers. Arrangements were whereby a travelling entertainment unit of twenty performers would appeal’ in Wingham, Goderich and Clinton, February 19, 20 and 21 to advertise the Victory Loan. It was agreed that the business places in the County will be asked ■to decorate one window for the Victory Loan campaign, Mr. Creech of Exeter, Mr. Middleton, of Hon- sall, Mr. Robert Bowman, of Brus- Cruickshanks and Mr. of Wingham, and others estimates covering the posters needed in their Districts which have not next ■gone do itwill Mr, Saun- completed SPAHR’S Remedy on top 40 years Treating Sore Throats, Golds* Coughs, Bronchitis, Tonsil Troub­ les and other Kindred Ailments.

Arrangements were made for a pool of speakers m the County to be available -on request for Victory Loan meetings. Mr. Creech, *of Exeter, Mr. Mickle, of Hensail, Mr. A. Y. McLean, and Mir. Mullen, of Seaforth, and Mr. H. McLean, of Wingham, asked for speakers for meetings already arranged in their districts. Mr. Saunders requested that all districts keep in touch with Hur­ on County headquarters regarding tentative meetings in order that conflict of dates during the cam­ paign may be avoided. 'He also an­ nounced that sound movies cpuld ■probably be obtained any night, but Monday and Thursdays, if, at least a week’s notice was given, through the co-operation of Ithe Huron County Flying Training School. One hundred per cent co-opera­ tion by radio station CKNX and the newspapers of the County was as­ sured by the presence of Mr. Cruick- shanks and newspaper editors from all over the County.
