Legge ' As mentioned in an earlier article, in addition to the conference which we had`'with Britain's Prime Minister, we had informal meetings with a num- ber of the Cabinet Ministers, Naturally as editors, we.were partic- . ularly interested in meeting the Minis- ter of Information, the Hon, Brendan Bracken. Before his appointment to this post in July:1941, Mr. 'Bracken was Parliamentary Secretary to Prime Minister Churchill, He had had practical publishing experience, having been editor of "The Banker", chair- man of the "Financial News", and managing director of "The Econo- mist", Mr. Bracken is the fourth man to 'live held the Ministry of Information post since the beginning of the war. Our conference with him was„an in- spiring one. He told us something About what England is doing. "The people of England," he said, "are working harder than any other people have in any war, A series of nothing 'but misfortunes has not destroyed our senses. The English people are all out in their war effort, but they will still do more. Whatever happens, the English will never surrender. We will see this thing through to the absolute .end. "Some- people think that after the war, England will give up her Empire and Imperialism. This is entirely wrong. We will not sell our heritage for a mess of potage. We have an immense contribution to pay to pos- terity, and no government will ever agree to the dismemberment of the British Empire. • "The British lion is not a mangy =dying animal, nor will he be confined in an iron cage. Only in the years to come will the effort of England be really undsrstood," Such was part of the message that the Hon. Brendan Bracken had for We found the Ministry of Infor- mation most co-operative during our stay in England. The passes issued by that department were so effective that the others which had been issued to us were almost superfluous. We met the lion Ernest Bevan, Minister Of Labour, in his office add had a .talk with him. Mr. Bevan was born in 1884 and started his career as a track driver, was general secretary of the Transport Workers' Union, and, in 1940, became Minister of' Labour and National Service, Some people think that lte may some day be Prime Minister, His is one of the most important tasks today, for , Britain is manning the world's greatest navy, maintaining armies in many parts of the world, supplying a steady stream of youths for the R.A.F., keeping .up home de- fences, fire fighting and A,R.P.--serv- ices, and steadily increasing .produc- tion of war supplies. No wonder that he told us there was no such thing as a saturation point in manpower, He has made a wonderful success of his task, but it must be remember- ed that this result could not have been attained without the enthusiastic co- operation of the entire population. In answer to our question he said that there is very little wilful absentee- ism. But when we asked him about labour troubles in certain places, he impatiently replied that the news- papers had to make news, and "virtue has no news value". He thinks that the war is teaching the 'United Kingdom a great deal., about transportation which will have an effect after the war is oyer, We had ,an interesting conference with the Hon, L. S. Amery, who is Secretary for India and Burma. He told us a great deal about the trouble- some elements in India. Most of us went away with a new conception of the India problem, We also began to realize how little most people know about it. Mr. Amery has travelled in most parts of the world, and as we left, he said, "I wish the war were over so that I could pay another visit to Can- ada." The last conference we had was with Sir R. Stafford Cripps, who is probably better known to Canadians than any other minister except the Prime Minister. He has been a very successful legal counsellor, and is no'. Lord Privy Seal. He has a very attractive personal- ity, a keen mind, and our whole im: pression of him was entirely. favour- able. It was an intensely interesting conference, for he spoke of Russia and his mission to that country, and about India and the 'failure of his mission there. Sir Stafford .Cripps 'is a deeply relig- ious man. A few days before we met him he had given an address• in Bristol which aroused wide discussion. He declared that he felt the Church had failed to give the leadership ex- pected of it, and •that it must be. re., awakened to a realization of its re: spensibilities, He thinks that the dis- establishment of the Church of Eng- land is not far off. Next to the conference with Prime Minister Churchill, this Was the most interesting meeting we 'had, It gave us much food for thought. Our conferences with Lord Wool- ton, Minister of Food, and Hon. Herbert Morrison, Minister of Home Security, have been described in prev- ious articles, Lord Woolton, whose name before be became a peer was Frederick James Alarquis, has brought a fine business experience to his task. He was chairman of Lewis Limited, one 9f Britain's largest departmental stores, treasurer of Liverpool 'Univers- ity, chairman of the Liverpool Medi- cal Research Council, a director of Martin's Bank and dire'ctor of the Royal Insurance Co, rand many other corporations, The way in which he has handled the food situation in England compels, the admiration of all. The Hon, Herbert Stanley Morrison is another Labour man, having been secretary of the London Labour Party and also the National Labour Party, He led the group assailing Chamber- lain's war policies. He became Min- ister of Supply, and later Minister of Home Security. rHis- chief task is to look after Civil Defence, which was formerly known as Air Raid Pre- cautions. His'talk with us was cover- ed in the tenth article which was about A.R.P, work. These ministers whom we met are charged with the work of conducting vital parts of the war effort. They gave us a valuable insight into the way they have overcome their prob- lems.

DOG BY-LAW HELD UP FOR PRESENT (Continued from page one) A letter was received from the County Clerk, in a reply from a re- quest of the local council that increas:' eci accommodation at the County Home was imperative, stating that it was realized that there is_a shortage of accommodation at present but it was impossible at this time to enlarge the home and that due to shortage of help it was impossible to take over another building which is available' int Clinton. A letter was received from William Stokes thanking council for their letter expressing appreciation of his long years of service to the town. A letter was read from the Canad- ian Aid to Russia Fund thanking the council for their interest and for the 11 boxes of clothing that was forwarded by them. Two building permits were granted on motion of coons. VanWyck and Johnson. One to Ewart McPherson to build a garage and, one to J. A, Johnston for the erection of a veran- dah. Coun. Davidson reporting for the Streets committee said that the coat- ing of dustlayer that had been applied was not sufficient in places but arrang- ments, had been made to secure an- other 12 tons at once. He also re- ported that no gravel had been pur- chased as yet but that this matter would be attended to shortly. Coon, Lloyd reported that the work of levelling at the cemetery is being carried on again, this year. Coun. Johnson said that the work of putting the new roof on the Arena had not been commenced as yet. It is expected to start shortly. ryNile win* ter coal supply has ben ordered, Three hundred feet of hose has been pUrheased by the fire committee, Coun. VanWyck reported. ,The price he said was. higher than that bought previous- ly, being $1.70 a foot, fl,eeve Evans reported .a case that required the attention of the Welfare committee and said this matter would receive attention as soon as possible. A very comprehensive report of the June meeting of tin County Council was given by Reeve Evans. He said that $500 had been voted fora con,, vention of representatives of Homes for the Aged which had already been held at Goderich. $500 had also been voted to the War Production Board. The people of this County had to date during the war given or subscribed $15,000,000 in various ways. The 2000 who have enlisted. The County County is represented in the forces by had no debenture debt or back debts, Speaking of the County Home he said that it was impossible to increase the accommodation as necessary materials and labour were not available. The securing of another building to house inmates was also out of the question clue to shortage of help. PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle Anybody who has an inclination towards talking about the weather would certainly get plenty of practice this year. They tell me that the boys who hang around Murphy's emporium in the village have been happier this year than they have beeh for a number of years. When the war started there was general belief in our township that talking about the weather had been de- stroyed for the duration. It didn't seem to be possible for people 'to go on talking about such a thing as the weather in the face of world shatter- ing events like the war. The weather prophets are a hardy race however. They have 'a craft that has been hand- ed down from one generation to an- other. When Germany invaded Poland they immediately started talking about the black Muck of the Polish rains . . . and the rains that would certainly come. They had the German mechan- ized forces completely caught in the mud. This didn't last very long. When the blitz came on London our local weather preachers began talking about the cloudless nights and they were certain that the traditional Eng- lish fog would sweep in and blanket the country completely. When the Russians and the Germans started tangling on the Russian front they strated up about the Russian winters and the weather in that part of the world. The trouble was none paid much at- tention to them. That's a rare insult to a specialist who talks about the weather in our part of the country. Our men have studied the art of im- parting weather information for years. They know that there's nothing to be gained by simply telling people that the weather will be such and such. They know that the pronouncement has to be started with an expectorat. tion and closed with another one, If CANADA PRODUCING STRATEGIC MINERAL New deposits and new processes, discoveries by the prospector and the scientist, are helping Canada to fill some of the gaps in the production of strategic minerals needed in the war, F. V. Seibert, Industrial Commission- er, Canadian National Railways, said in a recent interview. "One of the most important devel-: opments," he said, "is the production of mercury in British Columbia. Be- fore the war, . Canada produced no mercury. Today, we are one of the world's largest producers, with an output about six times our own re- quirements. "In 1940 Canada produced less than one half of one per cent of its re- quirements of tungsten. When the supply from 'China was shut off ty Japan, production here became more intense," Mr. Siebert said, "and last year the production rose to 17 per cent, with 1943 promising an even greater increase. • "Until a few months ago, we had no production of magnesium. A plant now using ,,the ferFo-silicon process 4e- veloped by a Canadian, Dr. Pidgeon; is supplying our own needs and from it we are already exporting to Great Bri- tain.. "Our produteio.n of brass is now 17 times what it was in 1939. We supply all our requirements of ferro chrome, ferro manganese and ferro silicon and are the main source of supply for Great Britain, although our chrome and manganese ores are im- ported. Our use of electric energy in the production of ferro alloys has been multiplied seven times since the war started. "The production of mica has in- creased. Recently, one crystal discov- ered in Ontario measured eight by six feet. Copper, zinc, lead, aluminum and nickel are not in short supply in Can- ada, but all that is produced and more, if available, is needed by the United. Nations," Mr. Seibert pointed out. "Canada provided about 95 per cent of the nickel available to the Allies, 40 per cent of the aluminum, retain- F. F. HOMUTH Optometrist Phone 113 flarriston ing only five per cent of its total pro- duction for its , own use, "The Canadian National Railways serve most of the mines and without the railway many of them could not haev been developed," HOUSEHOLD INSECTS CAN BE CONTROLLED. With the advent of warmer weather, household insects become more in evi.. dence. While various insecticides are of considerable value in combating them, too much emphasis cannot be placed on the importance of care and cleanliness and good housekeeping practices in retarding or preventing the development of infestations of these pests,. states Bulletin No. 83'4 "The Control of Some Common Spec- ies of Household Insects," Of these pests, clothes. moths and carpet beetles are most deAtructive, Causing much' damage to materials of animal origin.• such as wool, fur, hair, and feathers, Their ravages of clothing, upholstered furniture, piano felts, carpets, and other articles amore extensive. The prevention of damage by cloth-Y es moths and carpet 'beetles requires care, forethought, and vigilance. Ma- terials subject to attack should not be left undisturbed for long periods, par- ticularly during the summer, in cup- boards, attics, trunks, and other re- ceptacles unless precautions have been taken to protect them. Articles of clothing, after having been thoroughly brushed and beaten, should be placed in well-made trunks or chests with tightly fitting lids, or put in cotton or paper bags, or cardboard 'boxes sealed with paper strips. One pound of fresh naphthalene flakes or paradichloro- benzene scattered among the garments in an ordinary sized trunk assures protection, but there must be no chink or pin hole through which, the insects, v may gain entrance. The bulletin contains further infor- m6,tion on the control of clothes moths, carpet beetles, bedbugs, house flies, fleas, cockroaches, silverfish, and ants.

The weather-men who cluster around the big stove at the store are happy again. They now have the late seed- ing to ruminate on, It has made them very happy. They are digging up all the stories about late seedings and. Years without summers and polishing them with all their might. When you walk in to the store and take your place around the stove one of the prophets will look up, shake his bead like a sad dog that hal just lost his best bone, send an expert shot to- wards the cuspidor, wait for a ring and then say dolefully, "Bad weather ain't it Phil?"
