THB WILSON FLY PAD CO., Hamilton, Ont. iiifiiilii imiiinii—uii OTTAWA — Agriculture Depart­ ment officials have suggested that Canadians should think of turkeys in association With more than their thanksgiving and Christmas din­ ners and help eat up a rising stock of turkey meat in cold storage.- Turkeys in store August 1 totalled 3,456,00Q pounds, against 1,670,090 on the same date last year the fall crop of in a few weeks. Officials said kinds of poultry of the enlarged fQT United Kingdom consumption. It was hoped to export 45,000,0'00 dozen eggs before the close of the year and this has meant a major increase in Canadian flocks. In enlarging the flocks, millions of male birls have to be culled and sold for the table while the hens are kept for egg production. The lord of the barnyard and the turkey are therefore companions in misery in that they are not required for the war effort apart from gracing the dinner table. Consumer demand has been strong with enlarged payrolls enabling more Canadians, to enjoy chicken and turkey dirihers, officials said. Surplus supplies of fowl have been moving into storage, while augment­ ed purchasing by the United States had been in evidence. “Further increases in Canadian purchases of turkeys/would0 help to solve wliat has been one of the greatest problems in poultry mar­ keting in the present year,” an- of­ ficial said, with birds due to move an increase in all meat ■was a result production of eggs The churches have a fine opportunity of leading us in the way of steady work and quiet* progressive living* * ♦ * *. * * * * We have not a minute to. lose, The war is tyt nur doors and winter is coming on the swift wings of frost, ******** The law is compelling us to do a whole lot of things we should have done anyway.

In Canada the tempera­ ture went up to 85 and that may be why there- was a .noticeable de­ cline in the purchase of War Sav-, Ings certificates and stamps. But whatever the cause of the decline, the need is great and any sacrifices this country has made thus far are insignificant 'when compared with what our men and women at the front are enduring. The deductions from cream chequ­ es have not reached .the proportions they doubtless will. In the mean­ time, it should be understood there is no compulsion about the deductions. Farmers are at liberty to reftise to accept Wai’ Savings stamps as part payment, but if they can arrange to accept oiily one or two a week the total across Canada Would be tremendous. Shoppers are asked to take War Stamps from their merchants when­ ever possible. Every stump bought will help and they bear interest. ****** * President Roosevelt put it buntly but truthfully the other night when he said “In this war we must either’’kill or be killed.” We’d better get over our squeamishness and our maudlinism and decide Which we prefer. The Germans and, the Japanese are out to kill us, * * * * * * * * A WELL-SBENT LABOUR DAY Munition workers stuck right to their jobs all Labour Day. Business men spent the day getting ready for fall .conditions. Far- „ mers looked well to getting in the last of the harvest or to plowing for the fall wheat. Only a few unusually lucky ones had all their work done and took to the road. There was little tub-thumping or hair-raising speech-making. In every department of our country’s, life there was a rolling up of the sleeves and a squaring of the shoulders for genuinely hard work at a task that hourly becomes more trying and essential. Had we had this spirit twenty years ago we’d not be in the hobble we find ourselves. However, it is never too late to mend. This year’s well-spent Labour Day, let us hope, is the forerunner of more sensible living. ******* BRITAIN FRAYS Britain did just that. She set apart fifteen minutes of a Week day for that spiritual exercise, .During that time as far as her war enterprises were concerned, not a wheel turned, not a hammer fell, while from Westminster Abbey and bombed churches the crowned heads and the men at anvil and lathe turned their chastened spirits to Him who heareth in secret and who rewards . the humble and faithful openly. Those folk petitioned the" Most High for courage and for strength that endures, that suffers and is faithful to the say­ ings .of the. Son of God. They had no ceremony. They sought no special posture but entered that temple not made with hands—the upright heart and pure. Unashamedly they prayed for victory over a foe to whom virtue is but a name and religion "a mockery, From their exercise they returned to their labour clear of eye, ready to suffer, ready to labour, willing to wait God’s appointed time and to Struggle and to overcome in His appointed way, ******** OBEY THE LAW Sometimes we find ourselves in sympathy with the dad who explained to his inquiring son that the government is a body of chaps who make it harder for us. Evefy so often -we come across citizens who tell us that this and that regulation has ever so many difficulties in being obeyed. They point out that unless the other fellow conies across in a cooperative way they simply cannot carry on without loss and wish that the lawmakers were in Jericho. We , sympathise with such citizens. Our only suggestion is that the law be obeyed. Of one thing we are dead sure and that is that lack of punctuality and good system lie at the root of scores and scores of our present miseries. Every day tempers are frazzled by the men who simply do not keep their word, giving are busy while all that is the matter is that and truthdoing.. * as an excuse that they they are not systematic * * THE NEW DAY * * * * ** Many earnest souls are eager to be ready for the day when the war will be but a horrid dream and men go out to requited toil. With them we hope that the day will soon dawn and that we may be ready. When its glad light redens the east. Meanwhile, with them we 'put our backs into our present duty, the winning of the war. Let us never forget that the new era cannot but be very like the eras through which we have lived and through which we are now passing. The sun will give his light. The earth will give her increase. Men will marry and give .in marriage as they have since .the morning stars sang together. Painfully • then, as now, the choicest spirits will bring their crumb of good to build the welfare of the race. There will be nothing'catastrophic or beatific about it all. There will be toil and tears and blood and sweat. Then, as now, men will Strive for freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. There will be earnest effort that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be stoutly maintained. Liberty, equality and fra­ ternity, then, as now, will be held high before every child of Adam. Meanwhile, every true man stands for these very things. The race ■makes progress that is lasting riot by leaps and bounds, but by a long and slow process of first the blade, then the ear and then the full corn in the ear, * * * . * * * * , THOSE TOOLS Canada is calling her sons to do a godd deal better what they are already doing well. No one should complain. To do less than one’s possible best is Sooner or later to join the ignoble army of hobos.' Of course, when We are extra polite we call such folk the genteel unemployed. Canada has neither room nor food nor shel­ ter for any such. Next Canada calls upon every citizen to get at the job he can; do best. If he is qualified to be a foreman he has no business being a laborer. If he can do a high class job at making munitions, he has no place, among the,, ditch-diggers. Above all else, if he-can work he has no business tripping the light fantastic toe. If he can do a good job at wood-cutting, he has no business making bad sermons. Further, Canada calls upon her citizens to eat only body-build­ ing and body-sustaining food and to wear clothing essential for body protection. Gewgaws and folderols and flummydummeries in haber­ dashery are pure waste and allies of Japan and Germany. Chapels of ease must soon be closed. If Canadians do not dispense with superfluities, Hitler and his yellow allies Will do that job for us. This soft of tiling does not call for a sRfele sacrifice. It is a simple reminder of What we should have practised long ago Of our own volition ill the interest of the best life of -the race. We have been ease-loving and love of ease is the prolific mother of all the miseries incidental to this life. We have piles of them on hand. . They are No’ 1-XXXXX Best Grade. THE PRICE IS RIGHT.

County Clerk Mil­ ler last week received a letter ad­ dressed to “Hon. Mr. Ilsley, county clerk of Huron, Goderich,” He hand­ ed it over to the County finance min­ ister, Mr. Erskine. The letter, pro­ mising to pay taxes as soon as the hogs were sold, had a postscript, “perhaps I have your name wrong. I mislaid your letter.” (Clever was the need for fire prevention so .great as it is to-day. Why ? Because buildings are next to impossible to replace, Because farm fires destroy food along with the power to produce it Fires are the Nation's loss now!

WR*2 -The Government of Canada, by Act of Parliament, has set up a Plan of War Risk Insurance against damage to property caused by enemy action—by countermeasures taken against the enemy—by explosions of war munitions handled by third parties. In terms of general information, it may be stated that the Plan provides ’ a certain limited FREE COMPENSATION for damage to owner-occu­ pied homes and to chattels, but the main feature of the Plan is that owners of most types of property can protect their property by PUR- 1 CHASE of GOVERNMENT WAR RISK INSURANCE at very moderate rates. This type of War Risk Insurance is not being sold today by private insurance companies, because of the risk involved. Consequently, the Government has established a national scheme to make it possible for each citizen in Canada to purchase the sense of security that comes from knowing thaHf his property does suffer war damage (and the war has come much closer to Canada in the last twelve months) he can call on the resources of Canada to help him make good his property loss. HOW TO OBTAIN GOVERNMENT WAR RISK INSURANCE The Fife Insurance Agents and Companies of Canada have volunteered ■ to the Government the services of their extensive facilities and personnel, on a non-profit basis, thus avoiding the setting up of the large organiza­ tion that otherwise would be needed to handle details of this nation-wide Government War Risk Insurance scheme. YOUR FIRE INSURANCE AGENT OR COMPANY WILL GLADLY SUPPLY COMPLETE DETAILS OF THIS GOVERNMENT INSURANCE PLAN. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS PUBLISHED so that the public way have notice of the Government War Risk Insurance Scheme. The information given above is not intended to be a complete resume of the Scheme, Full information regarding conditions, exclusions, etc,, is available elsewhere. TO HOME OWNERS HOUSEHOLDERS and OTHERS Limited free. Compensation is provided under the Act for War Damage by enemy action to owner-occupied homes up to $3,000. Damage to House­ holder’s Chattels, up to $800— for those of his wife, up to $400 —for each child under 16, up to $100—for others, not house­ holders, up to $200. No policies are needed in this classification but insurance addi* tional to the above amounts may be purchased* Ask any Fire Insurance Agent or Company for complete details. 9 Puhlisbetlby A/Uhnrity of the Ministtr o/Finurice j
