words are not altogether surprising,
but France will take the longer to re
cover so that she may once again take
her place among the democratic na

them. But in the meantime we must
muster all our courage, all our re
sources, so that those principles so
dear to us will not be lost. We stand
very much alone but our confidence

AN APPLE A DAY
There is an old saying “An apple a
day. keeps the doctor away”, that Can
adians should observe not so much
Tor health reason 'but for the very
good reason that our apple crop must
.foe marketed within our own borders.
In normal times Canada exports a
very large quantity of apples and be-
‘Cause of their fine quality little
trouble has been experienced in dis
posing of the crop each year in the
export and local market. The war has
changed all- that except the quality of
the apples which continues to set the
standard for all other producing coun
tries. Now, there is no export market
'to speak of, and if this industry is to
be kept up so that it will be ready
to serve when peace comes, it is of
vital importance that the crop be us
ed. It is obvious, that the only way
•this can be accomplished is by home
-consumption. Do your part to help
retain this fine industry by eating
- more apples, eat at least one apple a
■day. The apple producers require
yo-ur assistance and they deserve your
support.

A GOOD SUGGESTION
At a banquet held in honour of
three of our retired businessmen, re
cently, the thought was expressed that
•Wingham should put forth every ef
fort to have industries locate here. We
‘believe that the Mayor and Council
are mindful of the opportunity in this
regard and are putting forth every
effort to obtain leads that they may
place before such prospects .the ad
vantages of locating in, our fair town.
At the present time negotiations are
in progress and if brought to a suc
cessful conclusion would be the means
of having a large industry locate here.
One of the most difficult tasks that
faces the town fathers is that of get
ting in touch with industries that may
possibly come here. Every factory
looking for a location has certain re
quirements that must be met and the
men responsible for choosing the lo
cation are in most cases hard-headed
business men. However, we must
keep trying, if we are to succeed. The
citizen can be of help in this business
by being a booster, telling at every
opportunity the advantages Wingham
has to offer^

WE STAND VERY MUCH
ALONE
What are the British Empire fight
ing for? We believe if this question
was asked, the answer would be from
almost all, “Democracy,” The number
of countries that have a democratic
government are less than a few years
back and the hard hand of’a dictator
is ruling in many countries. We in
this Empire believe in a free people-
and have enjoyed the privileges that
go with the system. We are at war
to preserve the democratic princples
that we all cherish. The heads of de
feated France are losing sight of the
fact that they went to war to try and
preserve that which they now have
lost. Vice-Premier Pierre Laval, now
foreign minister in the Petain govern
ment, stated before his recent historic
interview with Hitler that he believed
democracy in the modern world, in all
countries, is dead. The victory of the
Nazis during the past year marked
this, he thinks. We will have to show
him that he is wrong. Laval has not
been the friend of Britain that-many
French statesmen have, therefore his
