Exeter, Dec. 4, 1948 Editor Times-A'dvocate, Dear Sir: In this week’s isme an article ■on the Editorial .Page reads: “How is the money sometimes ■called the Baby Bonus spent?” Being a mother receiving the same I am answering my opin­ ion of it. If people .with families did not have to spend money for the extra mouths to feed, cloth­ ing, etc., we could afford better furniture, .pianos, refrigerators, for the benefit of our children. While it is true in most cases, as in our own, the breadwinner will .spend money for pleasures before getting these extra for the family. If I and others did not have a family .1 could make extra money working as lots of child­ less wives do at the canning factory, airport and other places at good .pay. However, as with most of us, this is the one money we have of our own to spend. When the allowances first came out I started to bank it for the children. A relative who works in child welfare, said you are supposed to spend this money, 'like old age pen­ sions, not to hoard it, so I spend mine thus. Children get their warm .clothes of course, have music lessons, a life insur- anc e policy; have fresh fruits and milk every day, cod liver oil, and .1 have got them their piano, also some needed furni­ ture for their benefit. In my case I would not allow any man to have his hands on the cheque to spend on tobacco or drink, In one case I know where it was reported there was a neg­ lect of children, investigators found the family well fed and warm and if they used the cheque to pay off a mortgage on the home they were allowed to do so. Food for a family of six costs a lot now. Might say that my family ’has all the toys good for it and have a week or so at the lake every summer. I do not believe in spending a lot on useless items. I notice children are dressed better in nice warm snow suits and I think most mothers spend the money as I try to do for the. children’s benefit, I "A Bonus Mother” i of The Machinery Modern farming methods de­ pend on the use of machinery both to save manpower and Jo speed operations. A machine can do this only if it is in good condition -and operated intelli­ gently, Machinery in bad shape and poorly operated can lose time and require more labour than it saves, says W. S, Rich­ ardson, Dominion Experimental Station, Lennoxvllle, Que. Now that the season for work on the land is nearly over it is time to make sure that the farm implements are stored properly for the .winter. An elaborate building is not nec­ essary, A simple structure that will protect 'them from sun, rain and snow .is sufficient. Al­ though machinery has been, and can be stored satisfactorily on barn floors and other odd corners of buildings, it is more handy and safer to diave a separate implement shed some distance from the other build­ ings. It reduces the fire hazard and machinery is more likely to be put under cover as soon as the job is done, . Before storing, there are cer­ tain precautions to take and certain things to do if ,the im­ plements are to coine out in the spring ready for work. AU metal parts which .come in con­ tact with the soil and are pol­ ished by this action, require a coating of grease or .oil to pre­ vent rust. Old crankcase oil may be used. Anybody who has started to plow in the spring with a rusty moulboard can ap­ preciate the value of this. Fertilizer distributors need special care All fertilizer should be removed, the machine wash­ ed and allowed to diry and then all metal parts covered, with grease or oil. 'Owing to the ac­ tion of the fertilizer In attract­ ing moisture these machines are short-lived under good con­ ditions but one or two yeais neglect will ruin them. It is good practice to set up on blocks all machinery equip­ ped with rubber tires, and to [ see that the tires are all cor­ rectly inflated. This will pro­ long the life of the, tires and js becoming more important as so many machines now travel on rubber. If the tractor’ is being put in storage be sure that the cool­ ing system is completely drain­ ed and that a little oil is placed in each cylinder. Before putting machinery away, look it over for weak or broken parts and order re­ placements as soon as possiblei so that there will be no delay | Minister of Public Welfare for Ontario will speak on "HUMAN PROBLEMS” Business Directory CROMARTY Mr. Andrew McLaughlin had a very good sale on Thursday last and has moved his house­ hold effects to the village. Mr. McLaughlin has purchased a very fine home in the village. Mr. E. .Miller and son Jimmy spent the Sabbath at the home of his mother. The Young People held a very successful bazaar on Fri­ day evening last. They served a pot luck supper. Quite a nice amount of needle work was sold. Quite a few are suffering with a bad cold. DR. H.

Because the sale of every article produced in Ontario brings valuable dollars into this Province, we all are more assured of job security . . . and we and our children can have more of the better things in life. But to produce such goods in sufficient quantities, skilled labour is vital. That is why every single one of us should be glad that war veterans are constantly being trained to provide the skilled hands so needed by industry. They receive ON THE JOB training tinder expert instructors in our Ontario factories. This training, provided through the co-operation of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, the Federal Department of Labour and the Ontario Department of Educa­ tion, starts the veteran on the road to skilled craftsmanship. In assembling business machines, for example, veterans must have a thorough knowledge of electricity and must learn to perform intricate work on precision machines having thousands of separate parts, These Canadian-made business machines are sold in all parts of the world, creating new wealth for Canada and Ontario, Therefore every effort'of these newly skilled.veterans helps to make Ontario a finer place in Which to live and contributes to the welfare and happiness of all her citizens. THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) MACHINE ASSEMBLY -——— — » John N. West, 25, of Toronto, a Royal Canadian Navy veteran, is shown here making an adjustment to .one of the 10,000 parts in a business machine designed for a New Zealand firm. Various types of business machines are produced in Ontario fac­ tories, Because of their in­ tricate mechanisms it is es­ sential that these machines be checked by expert craftsmen at every stage of their production.
