But in the light of Canada’s past history, this conclusion does not seem logical. Probably the correct interpreta­ tion of these demands is that public opinion is slowly crystalizing to the recognition of what an all-out war effort really means to citizens at large. And it may be true, the field for War Savings workers is ready-for a big harvest. The best evidence that the great majority of Canadian citizens are whole-hearted in their desire to beat Hitler, would be a huge increase in the amount of money poured this fall into the Government coffers, through the medium of War Savings Certificates. 4: A NEW CANADIAN INDUSTRY When the German hammer smash­ ed at the Lowlands, the glass indus­ try—like many others—became a ref­ ugee. The glassmakers sailed to Can­ ada, bringing with them their ancient heritage, and European skill was wedded to the Dominion’s resources to create a new industry in this country. Early this summer the only glass factory in the Dominion at present producing window and heavy drawn glass in sheet form was opened by the International Glass Works Company Limited in the Town of St. Laurent on the outskirts of Montreal. The actual process of manufactur­ ing glass is as strange and wonderful' as any tale of ■ mediaeval alchemists searching for gold in bubling cauld­ rons. A group of raw materials, such as silica sand, salt cake, soda ash, limestone and cullet (broken or waste glass), is transformed from a molten i nas into a thin, transparent sheet which withstands the corrosive effects of the elements and at the same time permits the passage of light. Patient research and chemical analysis in the control of processes and raw materials have made possible the mass produc­ tion of modern window glass, virtu­ ally free from flaws and distortion, according to an article by Vic Baker in the September issue of C-I-L- Oval. In view of tlie fset tliut before the war Canada imported more than seventy per cent of its window glass from Belgium, the transfer of this; industry is a distant gain for Canadian industry as a whole.

The following article is taken from New Haven, Conn., newspaper and : refers to a former Wingham man, Major John W. Hession. He was born at Clinton and was raised in Wingham. During the last world war he sold Remington arms. He is a brother of Mrs. J. B. Morrison, near White­ church. They said Daniel Boone could shoot an eye out of a squirrel a quarter of a mile away. Maybe so, but we’ll never prove it because Daniel’s dead. But the fellow who today could come as near to accomplishing this feat as any man alive resides here in New Haven. Perhaps you don’t know’ about him. Well, here’s the story— A young tobacco salesman, anxious to test his skill with a pistol he had bought second hand for $6, fastened one of his firm’s labels advertising cut plug to a covered bridge in Ken­ tucky back in 1902, backed across a narrow country road and fired several shots at the 17-inch target. Only one of the shots took effect and that was so far from the centre that it could be desregarded entirely. The young man was John W. Hes­ sion, who has come so far since then that today he is regarded by many as the best known pistol and rifle shot in ■the world having won all the] rifle contest titles there are and a great many revolver championships. Since that far away day on the country road in Kentucky, Major Hes­ sion—he holds that title in the ord- ance reserve corps — has competed in nine international rifle matches, given exhibitions before crowned heads and demonstrated in manifold' ways that' he can hold his own anytime with the best of them. The major, who cloaks himself with modesty, must be regarded, however, as a “natural." The first time he ever fired a target rifle he made a score of 47 out of .a possible 50 points. bringing the remark, from his coach; that if he could do that well! with no experience he could go far with it. But with all of his natural skill' Major Hession is willing to also requires practice and a combined with clean living a ch amnion. a admit it lot of it to forge ONTARIO WILL NEED OVER TEN MILLION BU.

MITCHELL EDITOR DIED FRIDAY DEER HUNTING IN BRUCE NOV. 10 - 18 Published Mitchell Advocate For Eight Years Based on the 1941 acreage sown to wheat, oats and mixed grains, Ontar­ io farmers will requite over ten mil­ lion bushels of seed grain next Spring even without any acreage increase, says John D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Depart­ ment of Agriculture, Toronto. With an increased acreage in prospect as part of the “Food to Britain" pro­ gram, Mr. MacLeod is urging farmers to plan early for their 1942 seed re­ quirements. Ontario farmers sowed 6,760,000 bushels of oats this year; 920,000 bu­ shels barley; 1,030/500 bushels wheat and 1,500,000 bushels of mixed grains, There was practically no carry over of the 1940 grain crop and this year's crop which was below normal is rap­ idly disappearing as a result of an extended 'effort to suppjy bacon, cheese and condensed milk to Britain. These facts make it important to give immediate thought to 1942 seed requirements says Mr. MacLeod. He advises farmers to clean their seed early as they will have a greater quantity from which requirements. If seed is needed, when it is available reasonable. Tf a farmer has a surplus of high quality grain, clean, grade and adver­ tise it early. ".Investigate the possibility of btty* ing your feed requirements and offer*!

No dogs will be al­ lowed in the hunt. Reports through Bruce are that deer are plentiful and it is expected that many will be bagged. According to High Dorman, game and fisheries supervisor for Bruce, he has had great reports of the number of deer in the district of Greenock swamp, also Elderslie and Bruce townships.
