AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE He’s just a lad as years go, and he’s full of the joy of living — even in this mad, grief-stricken world that has for­ gotten how to “play the game.’’ We took him from schools, shops, farms, factories and offices. He laid down his fishing rod and tennis racquet and skiis, and donned a uniform and shouldered a rifle — without a mur­ mur, without a complaint. He did these things willingly, proud­ ly, because he knows that he and his pals, and other friends, have a mighty important job on their hands right now. He knows the meaning of war and sacrifice —*■ heaven knows that’s been drilled into our children since the last show — but he also knows the mean­ ing of Nazi bestiality and slavery. And he's determined that it will never overcome England, will never find its way to this side of the Atlantic to destroy the freedom and security of those near and dear to him — and the Canada he loves. This boy is somebody’s son, some­ body’s brother. He could be yours —. This lad, this youth of high ideals and principles, is our hope of the fut­ ure. We rely on him — and thousands SWEET CAPORAL •‘THE PUREST FORM IN WHICH TOBACCO CAN BE SMOKED.M ‘•thers like him — to carry on where we leave off, to make this nation fill fhe high role of leadership in the new and happier world of nations that is to follow. His King, his Empire, is pfoud of his brave and unselfish response in this hour of need. And we — his folks back home to whom he waved a “cheerio’’ and “thumbs up” — are we proud of him? Words, mere words, cannot answer that. To-day, we who hold the home front are being challenged — challenged by a -conscience that will not let us be. For to-day we have the one and only opportunity that will come within the next 12 months to show our love, our gratitude to this youth who stands for all Canadian youths. Perhaps he is still among us. Per­ haps he is “over there’’ in that Island Fortress we call Britain. But wherev­ er he is, he Is counting on YOU to continue for his -benefit, education, en­ tertainment, recreation, and personal assistance — services that only YOU can provide. You won’t let him down. He’s con­ fident of that. And because he has faith in you, and faith in the cause for which he is fighting, he’ll never let you down. He’s asking you — his mothers, fa­ thers, brothers, sisters, sweethearts and friends — to give now, give gen­ erously, to the Canadian War Services Fund. For he knows that if you fail him in this cause, the things that have helped to make his fife on active serv­ ice happier, more purposeful, will not be there to help him carry on to vic­ tory. The Campaign opened March 24th and the participating organizations are the Canadian Legion, I. O. D. E., Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. FARM ORGANIZATIONS HELP ALL CANADIANS (From Agriculture Is Saying) “Farmers won’t organize” is so com­ monly said that most people believe it. ■ It is not true but it Fs said so often that it does almost as much harm as if it wore a fact. “No wonder farmers get the of it; they won't stick together” is a careless expression with which many people dismiss problems which which are as important to them personally as they are to farmers' themselves. Farmers cannot get “the worst of it” in Canada without all oth­ er Canadians getting the worst of it. The truth is that farmers do organ­ ize, that hundreds of thousands of them have been well organized for years, and that these farmers have formed a national organization called the Canadian Federation of Agricul­ ture. The Canadian Federation of Agri­ culture is just what its name implies: it is a Federation of the principal farm organizations across Canada. Its mem­ bership includes the following Provin­ cial Units:— 1. B. C. Chamber of Agriculture. 2, Alberta Federation of Agriculture, 3. Saskatchewan Co-operative Confer­ ence. 4. Manitoba Federation of Agri­ culture. 5. Ontario Federation of Ag­ riculture. 6. Certain Quebec organiza­ tions, including: The Co-operative Federee de Quebec, and also the Un­ ion Catholique Des Cultivateurs de Quebec. 7. Maritime Federation of Agriculture. These Provincial Units have been established by the various farm organ­ izations within the Provinces, includ­ ing both commercial co-operative, and educational organizations. In addition, its membership includes the following National or inter-Pro- vincial organizations:— 1. Canadian Dairy Farmers’ Feder­ ation. 2. Canadian Horticultural Council. 3. United Grain 'Growers Limited. Because of the widespread and rep­ resentative character of the member­ ship of this organization, it speaks with some degree of authority for the organized primary producers of Can­ ada. It says: “Canadian agriculture’s first task and paramount duty is, to place its whole strength and unite its resources from seas to sea behind Canada’s war effort. The war must be won, and the greatest possible degree of National unity is essential if our war effort is to reach maximum efficiency. Victory cannot be achieved without sacrifices. All 'classes of our people will be called upon to make sacrifices, and the agricultural industry is ready and willing to bear its full share of the heavy load which Canada has shouldered. It is vital, from Consid­ erations of National unity, that no one class shall be -called upon to carry, an undue share of the burden and that there should be equality of sacrifice by all classes.” as th© personnel is changing fre­ quently, Listowel Students Doing Their Share Students at the Listowel High School are doing their share in pur­ chasing war savings certificates, A survey taken by Principal D. I. Hill revealed that nearly $1,800 worth of stamps have been bought. Fourth form students lead the school in room competition with a $400 total. Dislocated Shoulder Miss .Jennie Mann, who had the misfortune to be thrown from a cut­ ter, was taken to St, Joseph’s Hos­ pital, London, where she was given treatment for a dislocated shoulder. She received the injury near her home on the London Road and is now pro­ gressing favorably.—Clinton News-Re­ cord. New Industry at Seaforth E. L. Box has disposed of the form­ er Canadian Furniture Manufacturers factory at the corner of Jarvis and Market streets to the Hesky Flax Pro­ duct Ltd. A portion of the building has been used since last fall by the Pioneer Broom Corn Company. The Hesky Company has also purchased the lots on the south of the factory across Market street, and the former C.M.S. office on the north. Sheep Claim Reduced In an interesting judgment render­ ed in a Division Court action tried in Durham, His Honor Judge G. W. Morley disallowed a claim of Charles Mighton, of Rocky Saugeen who sued the township of Bentinck for sheep killed by dogs. The total amount of the claim was $55, which was reduced to $14 for which amount judgment was given the plaintiff.—Chesley En­ terprise. Amarylis Lily In Bloom Several friends have been admiring a beautiful amarylis lily at the Camp­ bell home this week. It was a gift to Mr. and Mrs. Adair Campbell last year and after it died down it was taken to the greenhouse for’care. A week or so ago it was returned to the home with two blooms -which came out in their full glory on Sunday, both com­ ing out from the. top of the central stalk which is about 1& inches thick. The blooms were a deep red, measur­ ing 916 inches across and about eight inches in depth. The yellowish green stamens are about 6 inches long. The leaves of this lily plant are long and narrow.—Mitchell Advocate.

The charge of theft was laid when Munro claimed $120 had been stolen from his person while he slept in a Walkerton hotel room where he had gone with Shewell and Stan­ borough. When he awoke, Munro .said his money, and his companions had disappeared. Shewell had quite a sum of money on his person, but informed the magistrate this had been paid him by two men Upon making enquiry from them, the crown attorney found Shewell’s assertion substantiated, and we understand Standborough also proved that th© money on his person Bull Kills Farmhand William Campbell, age 66, farm hand, was found dead in the barnyard of his employer, Cameron MacLean, nine miles west of Forest, apparently killed by a young bull. Mr. MacLean had instructed Mr. Campbell to go to th© barn after 1 o’clock to do chores while he went to cut wood. Pie re­ turned shortly after 5 and found the cattle running loose in^the stable and barnyard. A few feet from the stable door he found the battered body of Mr. Campbell, who had apparently been dead -for several hours. The nervous young -officer, newly assigned to his regiment, was drilling his-men and gave the order "Quick March.” They marched and kept on parching as the officer thought des­ perately for a countermanding order, without success. Suddenly, the sergeant-major, who was standing by his side, spoke: “Wouldn’t you like to say ‘Good­ bye’ to them, sir, before they disap­ pear?” SCIENCE HELPS PROTECT FIGHTING MEN Working hand-in-hand with the fighting forces of Canada and the rest of the empire are the scientists of the National Research council at Ottawa.
