Down o---0---0 When first they hung me up to ring, The hell tower was a rustic thing; Long timbers planted in the ground, Reaching high to spread the sound. They hung me first on Andrew street And took much pride in such a fete. You could heard the Fathers yell, At the christening of their bell. I hang exposed to snow and rain, It helps to mellow my refrain; My ringer toned me soft, or shrill, I think his name was Welsh or Gill; But as to this, I do not know, For it was all so long ago. I chimed for brides in beauty dress­ ed, I tolled for those we laid to rest; In morn, I called the people up; At eve, I told them when to sup; Come noon, to hear me ring was fun, But not so cute, when I struck one; And when the firn-bug sneaked about, I shrieked to call the firemen out. I used to ring each Sabbath day, To call the people out to pray, But now I’m mute with naught to say. While newer bells are heard to play. The bell tower old, has seen decay, Most ringers too have passed away, But bells ring on, just as of yore And so they will for ages more. I now am hanging in a tower To tell the time, and strike the hour If those who ring are on a toot They make me stutter like a mute. 1 never was a stammering bell, It takes some skill to ring me well. Old friends that heard me long ago. Have passed to where all mortals go. It takes some soul and sense as well To read the message of our Bell. Join our romance and help us play. To celebrate the bygone day, When sober men rose up to say, “Big Ben’’ will call the crowds our way. From far and near, all up and down The Bell still calls the folks to town.

Its capacity can be stretched to 750 in cases of emergency. The cost of the building and equipment is set at. approximately $1,000,000. Col. C. L. T. Arthur, well-known Winnipeg doctor and a veteran of the Great War, will staff the hos­ pital with men of the R.C.A.M.C. The hospital is laid out around a two-storey Administration block. All other buildings are one story only. Corridors connect the administra­ tion blocks with all other sections. These include a special laboratory to be used by Sir Frederick Banting and completed to his own require­ ments. The hospital has all the complements of a modern establish­ ment, including X-ray rooms, dis­ pensaries, three operating theatres, fine kitchens and diningrooms. Stubborn Cases of Constipation Those who keep a mass of impurity pent up in their bodies/ day after day, instead of having it removed as nature intended, at least once in every twenty-four hours, in­ variably suiter from constipation. The use of cheap, harsh, purgatives will never get you any where as they only aggravate the trouble and. in­ jure the delicate mucous lining of the bowels, and are very liable to cause piles. If constipated take Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills and have a natural movement of the bowels, They do not gripe, weaken and sicken aS many laxatives do. Thd T. Milbhrh Co., Ltd., Toronto, tint.

AS RAPIDLY AS TRAINING FA( I LiTES AYA I LADLE Requirements of Dm Royal Can­ adian Air Force for recruits were explained in some detail by Hon. C. G. Power, Minister of National Defence for Air to the House of Commons this week. He pointed out that recruits were divided into two classes, first air crows, those who would actually fly and second, main­ tenance personnel both trained and untrained. In the first group were included pilots, air gunners and observers; in the second those whose duties were necessary to Die opera­ tion of active service squadrons or training establishments. Both of these groups required training, thus the problem of re­ cruiting became in part, a train­ ing problem, and the rate at which recruiting could proceed was con­ ditioned upon the ra'e of extension of existing training facilities. Enlistments had Iweii proceeding at a rate of about l.ooo per week, which under the circumstances, the minister regarded as satisfactory. Since September 15 last over 115,- 000 men had requested and obtain­ ed information relative to enlist­ ment in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Many had completed their enlistment papers and over 26,000 had passed the medical test and had been trade tested. Of these 13,000 officers and men had been enlisted and the balance were being called up as rapidly as circumstances per­ mitted. Of the 13,000 who had not been enlisted 1,423 desired to he trained as crew men; 7,962 wished to be trained tradesmen and 4,000 were unskilled. As far as individual recruits were concerned the Minister said, their selection was determined by priority of application except to the extent that there might be a special need for those with special qualifications. Every applicant for enlistment was interviewed personally. If he posses­ sed the necessary educational or other qualifications he was assisted In filling out an application form and advised as to how he should ob­ tain proof of age and education. Af­ ter that came the medical examina­ tion and when all requirements were met the recruit had to wait until the R.C.A.F. were in a position to take him on strength. He was then called up. A common misunderstanding arose from the belief that many of those who served in the Royal Air Force in the last war could easily and Commencing Monday, August 19th, Canada calls on her citi­ zens, 16 years of age and over, regardless of nationality, to register. Because of the magnitude of this task the Government asks those who must register to study the questionnaire care­ fully. Every question must be answered truthfully and without evasion. It is imperative that every one 16 years of age and over register. You will make the whole task easier for yourself and the Government by registering early. Regis­ tration will last for three days only. WHERE TO REGISTER Registration offices are being set up by electoral districts in the same manner as in the last Dominion election. Registrants are requited to register in the regular polling sub­ divisions of their own constituencies. But should a registrant be in some other province or district out of the regular polling subdivision on Registration Days, he or she may register at any registrationoffice convenient, upon satisfactory explanation to the local deputy registrar. Your Registration Certificate To every person answering die questionnaire fully and satisfactorily a certificate of registration will be issued by the local deputy registrar. This is a small card which must be carried on the person at all times. Penalty for Non-Registration — Failure to register will make any male or female, married or single, over the age of 16 years, liable to a fine not exceeding Two hundred dollars, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding Three months, or to both such fine and imprison­ ment, and moreover to a further penalty not exceeding Ten dollars for each day, after the day upon which he should have registered, during which he shall continue to be unregistered.

This whole problem the Minister intim­ ated had been given the mpst care­ ful consideration. Appropriate em­ ployment in the R.C.A.F. had been found for over 250 officers who saw such service in the last war. Except for those ex-service men who were fully qualified commer­ cial pilots it was necessary to fit other veteran air officers into ad­ ministrative positions. This was done at an increasing rate as es­ tablishments increased. Recruiting and enlistment were thus carried on as rapidly as pos­ sible and with the maximum of courtesy and consideration to the many patriotic individuals who of­ fered their services. Recruiting centres were opened in the principal cities and in addition mobile re­ cruiting units served the more re­ mote areas. “We are keenly aware,” said the Minister, “of the special qualities our young men possess and that fit them particularly to serve to ad­ vantage of our air forces, and we are determined to do everything in our power to make sure these spec­ ial qualities are employed to the fullest extent.” God’s best gift to a man is a loyal faithful wife and His best gift to her is a husband who has the de­ sire, the ability and the oportunity to work, care for her and make her happy. REGISTRATION DATES August 19th, 20th, 21st EVERYONE CAN HELP —To keep the cost of this registration at a minimum the Government is asking the co-operation of all public-minded citizens in the work of regis­ tration. You can help by getting in touch with your local registration officials and offering your services. Warns Farmers of Army Worms Grain in Parts of Huroiu County Found Infested ATTACK ONLY GREEN CROP Farmers U urged To fake Imme­ diate Action Farmers of North Huron were warned by James C. Shearer, agri­ cultural representative, to be on the lookout for army worms and were cautioned to take immediate steps in case rhe small green worms were discovered in their fields. Five farms between Clinton and Seaforth infested have been exam­ ined by Prof. R. W. Thompson, en­ tomologist, of the Ontario Agricul­ tural College at Guelph, The farms are those of William Ball & Son, Mac Tulley, Fred Cook, Norman Carter and Russel Coleman. There are a number of strange factors about the present outbreak of the army worms, he said. Pre­ viously, they came at long intervals for instance in 1S9 6, 1914 and then in 193 8. This time, however, there THURSDAY, ATGU6T 15 th, 1040 is only two years separating the last outbreak and the present. Another thing is that the outbreak usually occurs about the middle of July, whereas now the grain which is cut will not he molested by the worms as they feed only on green crops. Gives Remedy Mr. Shearer said there is no cause for undue alarm as the insects have not developed to the stage where they cannot be controlled. They will feed on green oats and barley, corn, millet and other crops of like nature The formula for poison bait for the control of the army worms is 25 pounds of bran, 1 pound of parts green, I quart of molasses and 2J gallons of water. Farmers were directed to mix the parts green with the dry bran, dissolve the molasses in water and add gradually to the mixture. The bait should he moist enough to spread without falling In lumps. The bait is then sown broadcast so as to reach the ground where the worms spend the day, moving up the stems in the late ev­ ening and after dark. Farmers were urged not. to lose any time, but to distribute the bait as soon as possible. Boss: “How did you happen to oversleep this morning?” Worker: "There were eight of us in the house and the alarm was set for seven.”
