As it is, the Canadian parliament has voted by an overwhelming majority that the Canadian people have no right to know the facts ■ in the case. For - the meantime we must leave t'he matter there. The snub to 'Canadian intelligence is terrific, but we’ll submit. Our Chosen leaders do not trust us. All we wanted was to learn the facts. If the men sent to King Kong were adequately trained and fitted for the work, we want to know it. If they were inadequately trained and equipped and the lack was unavoidable, we want to know it. If they were inadequately trained and equipped and someone was to blame, we want to know it and to see that the parties respon­ sible for this inadequate training and equipment were treated accord­ ing to the.highest standards of Canadian justice. * * * *, * * *, • * UP TO THE LIMIT Russian reverses have resulted in. not only the German capture of oil fields but also' the capture of what 'is practically the granary of Russia. ■ Inevitably there will be an increase!! demand for food from America, a demand that already is decidedly sharp. In 'this consists a hint for every householder in Canada to be very much on the job of preserving every ounce, of food available these days of garden and field'abundance. Canadians n,eyer have lacked in thrift of this sort, but necessity demands thaf an extra effort bet* put for­ ward these passing hours. It must be remembered that the grocers will not have the supplies their customers have been accustomed to draw upon. .Not an ounce of food can be wasted, for bad as things now are and threaten to prove next winter, conditions are sure to worsen as w’e sustain more‘defeats on land and sea.

Why not have the Exeter technical ‘school work in cooperation with the airpprt? One of the problems in the not far -distant future is the reinstatement in civic life of the present Soldiers and war workers. The airport is hard by the technical school and may be made of great use to hundreds of young men and women. Why should not the folk interested in the airport and the local .school take up this matter? Before we are aware of it, we hope, the war will be over. Why should not 'the war workers who may benefit thereby not receive instructions when instruction is so readily available? When the young people we refer to are free for post-war work, the one -question that will be asked them as they seek employment will 'be “What can you do?” Why should not the governments and the local board take steps towards having the war Workers ready for the day when they must take up their new life? * * * * * * * * TORONTO Hotel Woverley SinustNA Avb. at Coi.lxqb St. RATES SINGLE - $1-50 to $3.00 DOUBLE - $2.50 io $5.00 Special Weakly Bilious Attacks Liver Complaint Biiioushess is jttSt another name lor a clogged or sluggish liver.

Picnic The annual Sunday School and' congregational picnic of St. Paul’s Anglican church was. held on Wed­ nesday afternoon, July 29 th, at Turnbull's Grove. The first' part' of the afternoon was spent,in bath­ ing, and needless to say, it was much enjoyed by the children and some of the grownups. Those who did hot care to go in swimming enjby- Od a social chat On the beach. Shortly before supper Mr. MLd'dle- i ton and Mr. Jim Morris conducted a treasure hunt. Four . twenty-five cent Wai’ Savings Stamps were hid­ den in small boxes on the beach and tile children had to dig for them. The first one was found by Lois Henderson, the Henderson, the Morris' and t'he Morris. After everyone sat down to a bountiful supper which had been prepared by the ladies. When supper was over there was a short period of sports The tiny tots’ race Was Won by Joan Morris and Margie Reid. The old­ er one by Lois Henderson and, Beth Morris. Later horseshoe pitching was enjoyed. The War savings stamps and prizes were kindly don­ ated by Mr. Middletoil, Wshionnhle 'Annie Mae/' said the mistress, iiotiee you have been teking I am curious what yon do with them?'* The Negp‘0 maid looked up jWith a sheepish grin. “'Y'es'iuih/” she ad­ mitted. ‘Tse been carrying them home, t’se think tiiey make garbage can look so stylish,” that Hong kong debate Farmers toiling in the harvest fields with the thermometer at the ninety point and workers in factories with the air heavy did not listen sweetly to the debate dealing with the Hong Kong affair. The story of the bayoneting of two hundred of their brothers by the savages with whom they contended wrought them to a white fury of anger. We have no intention of reciting the events that led up ■to the 'heartbreaking circumstrances that led us to this terrible tra­ gedy, but urge as best we can that this sort of thing shall not be repeated. We 'do not call for revenge, but ask that all that men! can do be dona forthwith to prevent any such occurrence in the fu­ ture. Farmers are doing all that, men can do to produce food and clothing, for our men. Factory men and women are sparing neither blood nor nerve that the soldiers be provided with arms and muni­ tions. ' Builders are sparing nothing in order that shipping may be abundant. All of us demand that the government provide proper management of the war. What every Canadian resents is the ever­ lasting talk on the part of parliamentarians when action guided by adequate gray matter t’he present minute. DKOSBEllITY hopes and earnestly prays that the Scourge of war may soon pass front the earth. Every Briton hopes that when the last battle of the struggle has been won that the Victory will rest On the side of the Allies. To that end all men Who love liberty strive up to their measure of ability. Meanwhile, a great many people have more money in their hands than ever they possessed hitherto. And in their present prosperity lies their dan­ ger. They may think that present conditions are normal and Will continue. We wish that we could assure our readers that prosperity would continue, but this we cannot do, Anglo-Saxon world and their friends and commodities on short notice and to .meet might stimulate the production of these rewards to certain classes of workers. took the form of bonuses. When the perils of war pass We need hot look for the continuance of these bonuses or similar gifts. Bon- used industries must inevitably stiffer, and ill wfti be the day for them should they find themselves depending upon the bonuses to sustain their business, The same principle applies to many work­ ers. Many workers are just now reaping the reward of government bonuses or of what amounts to a bonus. Hence the need of cau­ tion when profits are reckoned and the good times enjoyed by high wages are considered. Extra profits should be invested in war stamps or in war loans. Such action is at once good business and good patriotism. Mortgages nad back debts should be negotiated out of the usual rate of wages now greatly helped out by steady work. This may seem 'hard, but it is the way to financial stability and business peace for the individual as well as the nation. PR0J Ot NJ)LY IH4APPOINTING • As far as results go, the results on th<- hattieti have Lean profoundly disappointing to Britons, Dunkirk, Hoiu Kong. Singa­ pore, do not sound sweet In Britons’ ears. The treatment mea­ sured out to Russia during these last agonizing weeks is a festering sore in the hearts of brave men who have no relish for standing aside when their companions in arms suffer the horrors of the battle, The rate at which shipping is finding its way to the bottom of the sea does not set well on the stomach of folk accustomed to sing Britannia, Rules the Waves”. In reply we hear something* about the bombing of cities, Our answer is that were every city in Germany in ruins yet were the German armies in possession of the» field we’d he about as far from victory as ever. Till German armies are not only defeated but crushed., peace will not come. It is no pleasure for us to deal with facts so terrible, but facts have a way of obtruding themselves, no matter how we try to deceive ourselves. Our inquiry is, what sinister power has bewitched the British Em­ pire and the United States that they are, impotent to so appalling a degree in the presence of an enemy that has a way of winning every objective he sets before himself? Has opr blood become thin and weak and is our brain paralyzed that we do not only give as good as we get but hand two for one and then some?,, Nelson not only defeated the French navy but drove it utterly from the sea. Wel­ lington not -only conquered the Old Guard/ but annhilated it. Kit­ chener and Roberts were not men of half measures. Again, we ask, what hamstrings the Empire and the United- States? There is an answer and the public must have it. Surely London apd Washing­ ton 4and Ottawa hear the * earthquake rumblings in the hearts of brave people and surely they have the sense that will take the oc­ casion by the hand. Let us not hug the ballot box hut follow the. flag that tells its own story and gives its own stern call to duty. The time comes in the lives of both men and nations when patience ceases to be a virtue. BEFORE YOU TUmiRP lliD ILIiJu MINISTER AT ALTON DELIVERS BREAD Large enlistment of men in armed forces has brought about many strange circumstances. But something different has taken place in Alton. The local minister of the Baptist Church, Rev, Donald Sinclair, is now driving a truck 15 miles every day to deliver bread to district house­ wives. It all happened when Melville Campbell, bread truck driver, and a member of the Lome Scots, was call­ ed for a tWo-week training period af 'Niagara -Camp, Mr, Sinclair immed­ iately volunteered to take over the' route, and housewives are enjoying the unusual distinction of having their minister deliver their bread to them.—Erin Advocate?

HELP INCREASE THE SIZE AND NUMBER OF ONTARIO SHEEP FLOCKS TJRODUCING more wool to clothe. Canada’s fighting forces and her A 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. Ilorth American Woo! Production 1941 Canada ......... 19,2011,000 lbs. United States ..... 455,000,000 lbs. Total ............... 474,200,000 lbs. DEFICIT - - - North American Woo! Consumption 1941 Canada .............. 109,000,000 lbs. United States ..... 977,000,000 lbs. Total................1,086,000,000 lbs. • 611,800,000 lbs. "You can see that with shipping 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 if 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, arid 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, v the Department is asking Ontario farmers to establish 1,000 new flocks which will absorb all surplus ewe lambs. Your Agricultural Representative will be able to put you in touch with men who have lambs 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.
