NOW COMES THE REAL WORK The people of Canada have given their verdict in the federal election and they apparently were determined to make certain that the Government would have sufficient majority to car ry on the war effort. It is all over now and it is up to us all to do our very best to assist the government in their war effort. Differences of opin ion in the political arena should now be used only when something of a constructive nature will be the result. In a common effort it,has been prov en many times that the people can get ■together and carry on shoulder to shoulder. That is how it should be. During the election campaign this was demonstrated by »the women who worked so faithfully al.the Red Cross room. Liberal and Conservative car ried on at the same table, each doing their part, politics or any other diff- n tern that required a second count in a score of ridings. There are many who advocate this system of voting and claim it makes for the logical choice of the winner. # a * * STANDING AS ONE NATION The Franco-British alliance is very closely knit and the confirmation of this was stated in no uncertain terms last week with the announcement that France and'Britain will not negotiate nor conclude an armistice or treaty of peace except by mutual agreement, Neutral countries were also notified of the intention of these two democ racies to persue the course they have chosen, to its conclusion. There Is lit tle doubt that with spring the war will take on a greater fury but just what form this will take is not known. Diplomatic activity is noted in the Balkans and the Near East and this may be the scene of a great wa'r ac tivity. The fact that the Allies are now as close or closer in their views than when the. war started is the one thing that will save democracy. This is no time for dissension, and to see the ideals of the Allies so firmly cem ented is proof beyond doubt that the insidious campaign Carried on by the Nazi press and radio has not in the least undermined the Allies’ determ- Kinloss Wolves Again Active Wolves in Kinloss Township, which have been quiet of late, are to the fore again, with the bagging of a fine specimen by Harold and Alex Percy.

It was point ed out' that from a health standpoint it might be essential for Canadians to use a certain amount of imported fruits and fruit juices but it was also pointed out Unit our apples have a place in our diets from a health stand point, also if Canadian housewives would use apples at* least four times a week the apple surplus would disap pear. Suggestions for using apples were: apple juice, apple sauce, baked apples and apple pudding. When you want an appetizer before a meal re member apple juice contains Bl.

Snake Took Sunbath With four feet of snow still on the level, spring does not appear to be near, and yet one resident of Tees- water reports that she came suddenly upon a dwo-foot snake taking a sum bath on the cement sidewalk where the sun had just recently cleared the ice and snow on the southern side of the home. Where' the snake came from is a mystery, but hope is ex pressed that this is an indication that spring is at last close at hand.
