We must catch up • . . and beat them. They tortured people to make them save. We must save willingly. So it's up to us, each one of us, to econo- mize of our own free will . . . to economize and buy War Savings Stamps so that we can outstrip our enemies with planes and -tanks and guns and ships . . . so that our soldiers may be better equipped than the enemy they have to conquer. Women must help by economizing in the .kitchen, by patching and darning, by shopping carefully and cutting but waste. Make up your mind now to buy one, two, five or more War Savings Stamps every week. You can. You must! Buy War Savings Stamps from banks, post offices, telephone offices, department stores, druggists, grocers, tobacconists, book stores and other retail stores. National War Finance Committee ;ONTARIO FACES A POWER SHORTAGE Annual Report Of The Hydro Electric Power Commission Is Released Regular fulfillment of debt retire- ment schedules has, during the last decade, contributed to a 50 per cent reduction in total municipal Hydro Millty liabilities which are now less than $25,000,000. At the same time, needed extensions have been more fully financed out of current revenues, and assets, which have contiued to in increase, now exceed $176,000,000. These are among many interesting facts chronicled in the Thirty-fourth Annual Report just released by The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, Comprising 416 pages of in- formative data, charts and detailed statistics, the 1941 Report, like those of previous years, is factual in pres- entation and broad in scope. It will take its place as one of the important records in the Hydro archives for it clearly reveals how Ontanio's great public ownership enterprise is apply- ing itself, with unswerving determin- ation and a high sense of responsibil- ity, to the task of serving the best interests of the people in time of war as it did in the days of peace. The Report reveals that in more than 125 out of the 296 urban Hydrb utilities in Ontario the net debt in re- lation to total assets is less than 5 per cent, while there are now 109 Hydro utilities which have no deben- ture debt. In his introduction to the Report, Dr,- Thomas H, Hogg, chairman and chief engineer, directs attention to the coming power shortage in Southern Ontario which, during next winter, may exceed 300,000 horsepower and will not be less than 150,000 horse- power. This shortage, he' warns, will have to be met by conservation and restrictions. In addition, scarcity of materials means that improvements not vital to the supply of adequate service to war industries must be post- poned. The Commission takes the broad view that in addition to making avail- able the power supplies needed for the maximum war effort, it must ensure that Ontario's valuable electric power is utilised to the best advantage. Munition plants, it is Pointed Out, Must be encouraged to use electric power fully, and in many new ways in order to speed the manufacture of war supplies. At the end of 1041, the Commission was supplying about one-half million horsepower, or approximately 25 per cent of its total output for direct war production, In October, 1941, the primary load of all systems for the first time exceeded 2,000,000 horse- power, In his introductory review, Dr. Hogg comments upon certain prob- lems Hydro has had to face as a result of the delay in reaching a decision upon the important St, Lawrence pro- ject. These problems, he states, have received the Commission's constant at- tention and are now pressing for a decision. 10,000 SPECTATORS AT ORANGE WALK (Continued from page one) Mr. Saunders lashed out at the Roman Catholic church in general for endeavoring to make people conform to their ideas of doing things. The speaker said: "I refuse ever to sub- mit to any dictatorial power; what we need is liberty:. The Quebec -members certainly have their say in Parliament. What about our Protestant members? Are they asleep on the vital issues at stake? The conscription issue is just one of the questions which is causing disunity. The Church of Rome will never rule this country. We shall not be dominated by them. Has the Protestant church ever asked for the privileges the Roman Catholic church is granted? No. Why should they be given the :preference? I say Quebec is not'as loyal to Canada as Ontario for the simple reason the Church of Rome dominates them." The separate school question and the lack of French troops compared with Ontario's contribution came un- der fire. "We have a much greater enlistment roll here in Ontario than they have, why should this be?" Mr. Saunders closing remarks was to honor the Sabbath, pray earnestly for vic- tory, which will by the help of God emerge from this terrible conflict. The happy future of any nation de- pends entirely on the home back- ground. If you have unity and co- operation in the home you have a hap- py people. • Mr. Saunders, prior to his talk, in- troduced Mr.' Fred Dolson, of Tor- onto, public school revisor of the Tor- onto Board of Education. Rev. E. 0. Gallagher, of Wingham, and grand deputy chaplain for this district, in his address, earnestly urged the Orange Order to seek grater unity and al- ways speak the truth. "Our country is great; our Orange Order is great. Let's make our obedience and faith great. We must learn the art of living together," said the speaker. "We must have a free and reasoning attitude to- ward our people. If our foreign ele- ments fail to like our fair Canada and what ideals we stand for send them back to their homelands. Let Hitler have them." Lucknow was well represented from the platform' by the presence of two local ministers, Rev, C. H. McDonald and Rev, J. W. Stewart, past county master. Mr. McDonald stated, "the Orange Order stands upon an open book, the Bible. That is one reason why the Orange Order has gone ahead in the past and will continue to do so in the future." The speaker appealed to the young people, to put God first, read their Bibles and stressed the need of church attendance. "Never" were the churches so empty as they are to- day. People have forgotten God and the only way to gain victory for the Allies is for us to sacrifice, pray ferv- ently and get back to God in repent- ance and then victory will come," said Mr. McDonald. "Never has there been a clay when people knew so little of the word of God." incidents were so,t,O.AOrr given in this locality where young people were ignorant of what the Bible contained. By • being a wide-awake Orangeman we can help enlighten others. "Every Protestant should be an Orangeman," stated Rev. J. W. Stewart, the final speaker on the day's program. "The Orange Lodge stands for freedom and' it is the duty of every loyal Orangeman to see that freedom is sustained," Mr. Stewart urged all present to stand for religious freedom, loyalty to our country and loyalty to our God. The speaker in closing gave a num- ber of figures just released i.showing the percentages of enlistments in Ont- ario and Quebec. Enlistments in Ont- ario showed 42 out of every 1,000 while in Quebec, the Roman Catholics have only contributed 14 out of every 1,000 up until the 24th of June 1942. PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle They say that time changes. all things. As a fellow gets older he be- gins to see the wisdom of that thought. You don't just realize it all of a sud- den. It comes over you gradually that possibly some of the ideas you have in regard to people may be just a bit cockeyed. Take for instance the case of the fellows in the village who , operate the stores at which we do the biggest part of our dealiOgs. Asa lad, going to town in the buggy with my parents I had a great fear .of those men. To me they represented "big business". In the days long before we had an automobile they were driving up and down the concessions on Sunday after- noons with snorting monsters of machinery. It was almost terrifying to see them: On Sundays we saw them sitting in the front ranks of the church flock. They had the front pews and and they were decked out in finery while our mothers and fathers-wore the same old clothes year after year. When father met the banker 'on the street he called the banker, Mr. Van Snort while the banker in a -more or less patronizing way. called father by his first name. Sometimes father would grumble on the way home about the high rates of interest at the bank and the merciless way in which so and so had been turn- ed. off his farm. Tim Murphy who ran the big store in the village was almost a legendary character to ine. He had a great, bushy beard and drooping eye-brows that gave him almost a shaggy appear- ance. He was a 'big man with a big voice and they used to say that when he bellowed at a political meeting at the village hall the fire bell used to ring up in the hall tower just because of the vibration, I can still see mother spending the egg-money at the coun- ter, while father sat around the. big- stove 'at the back of the store' talking to the dray-mart and two or three loafers who always sat around the stove in the winter-time and on the front verandah in the summer-time, Big would come out arid speak to my mother in a pleasant way. Then he would lean over to see if she had a long list of groceries to buy. If it was a gdod supply he would reach into the candy case and bestow one of those big striped bulls-eye candies on me, Yes, I think Tim Murphy was my favourite of those dressed-up cigar-smoking village businessmen, Last week we were tied up with haying. Of course our last hired-man went to the air-force just after seed- ing and the prospect of ever getting the hay- all in seemed like a very re- ii;Wome 4('1"Iiimm"gm'nOver'40 Feel Weak,Worn, Old ?

Wednesday afternoon a car drove in lust as I was hitching up to the wagon to go out ,and draw alf- alfa, It was the banker and Tint Murphy's son who carries on at the big Emporium, They had come. out to give me a hand with the haying., I discovered a lot last Wednesday, Those two fellows are real men, They blistered their hands and sun-burned their arms but they never said a word . except in a joking way. They came down in the cellar and had two or three swigs Of cider , and they enjoyed a meal ,country-style , and went away without taking a cent of money. They told inc to give their wages to the Red Cross. They came out on both Thursday and Friday afternoon about three o'clock and worked until late , , , just to help me ; with the haying.

Keep Plants Well Covered During Growing Season The urgent demand for potatoes for military and civilian consumption places a patriotic responsibility upon Ontario potato growers to produce the best crop possible in 1942 says J. T, Cassin, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Tor- onto. Carlessvess in spraying meth- ods will reduce the crop by at least 50 per cent and to avoid this loss growers would do well to apply sprays at the proper times, Mr. Cassin states. Heavy rains have delayed planting which will mean lower yields per.acre. This can be offset to some degree by careful spraying and cultivation. Growers who have not a copy of Ont- ario Dept. of Agriculture Bulletin 'No. 390, "Successful Potato Production in Ontario," should obtain one form their Agricultural Representative or write the Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Tor- onto. This bulletin gives full directions for, spraying potatoes to prevent late blight, rot, and control of insect pests. The bulletin points out no stated num- ber of sprays can be recommended as this is governed by the weather — the wetter the weather, the larger the number of sprays. In a season such as this which is favorable for blight and rot, spraying must be continued until the plants have finished their growth or been cut down by frost. Forty gallons per acre may be suf- ficient spray to cover plants when small, but later 80 to 100 gallons may be required, Keep the plants well covered with spray during the grow- ing season for maximum results, ad- vises Mr. Cassin. SALT HELPS PREVENT HOT WEATHER ILLS The Health League of Canada dir- ects attention to an article in the cur- rent C-I-L Oval which states that in order to protect the health of war workers and to aid them in combating the ill effects of summer heat, the practice is now wide-spread of equip- pingr munitions plants with salt tablets in handy dispensers near every drink- ing fountain. The importance of salt in the fight against summer heat and possible prostration cannot be over- estimated, the article states, and most of the ill effects of exertion in hot ••••••1•11•1M- CANADIAN SMOKE-EATERS VISIT HOUSES OF PARK,KAIKENT 2nglatict day' blitz fire,fighting methods, ;lire fighter hlmsel1, With the flrentien the 'group . trt this patty .61 .eatia,aion firettlen is shown outside are two United' States army nurses.,,. a new Zealand the Hotae of Parliament Louden during , tent' airrhati: atittdiaa airman, and ,S.Duteh llittOtiged 14, Sit -AddelY.it Andy, Who pfitt,got C ANADIAN PACIFIC AIR LINES are making a notable con- tribution to Canada's war effort in the elementary training and engine overhaul fields.

Even the condition com- monly referred to as "water poisoning" is caused not so much by the over- consumption of water, as is generally thought, but rather by the serious de- pletion of chlorides in the body. While office workers can make up their depleticit of chlorides with the salt normally consumed at meal time, workers in .factories need' extra amounts of this necessary mineral at frequent intervals during working hours. The Salada Tea Company's Championship class at the Inter- national Plowing Match held near Peterborough last Fall brought together top rank horse plowmen from all parts of the Province. Elmer Armstrong of St. Pauls (right), Gold Medalist, and Marshall Deans, Paris (left), Silver Medallist, accompanied by W. C. Barrie of Galt, are seen ready to board a plane commencing the valu- able trip that was offered as first and second prizes. Time being an important factor to agriculturalists, they elected to travel by air and within nine days they visited such points as Winnipeg, Portage La Prairie, Regina, Vancouver and Lethbridge. One of the highlights of their journey was the stop off at Portage La Prairie where they participated in the Manitoba Provincial Plow- ing Match, June 24th. At experimental stations they visited and at meetings they- attended, they were,afforded the opportunity of exchanging and studying new ideas, particularly labour-saving devices and other aids to greater efficiency on the farm. The trip was arranged by Mr. J. A. Carroll, Manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association. Plowing Matches which are conducted by local branches throughout the country, play an important part in the production ° of food for war, for they encourage , the better plowing and cultivation of the land so essential for maximum production. • to prepare fruit, crush or grind about 2 quarts fully ripe Measure -sugar and corn syrup and prepared fruit into large kettle, mix well.
