DEFEAT INFLATION

Inflation :that's when prices '
go skyrocketing up so's wages
can never catch them is
caused by a lot of pcopie want-
ing to buy more things than we
can spare the men, machinesor
material to make. especiallyin
wartime. We can help defeat
inflation and protect the Price
— Ceiling by making do with what
we have. Besides, the :Loney
we don't spend now will buy us
better things after the war;

COAL WILL BE ,SCARCE
Government officials and those coo-
meted with the coal business have
!warned all that coal will be difficult
to obtain this year and have asked all
to conserve as much of this fuel as
possible, during the coming winter sea-
sou, From time to time various sug-
gestions have been issued giving hints
'On the conservation of coal, It is
.*Aggested that temperatures in homes
uod public, buildings be regulated to
68 degrees in place of higher temper-
atures. Other suggestions have been,.
Ones kept clean, windows kept closed

' necessary airing, the heating only of
those portions of building's that re-

l'HEY FOUGHT WELL
The conquest of Sicily is over and
the Canadian people can be proud in-
deed of. the part the. Canadian First
Division played in this island battle,
The lads from this land of the Maple
were with the first troops to land and
as they wont forward and as things
got hotter and resistance was greater
they continued to acquit themselves
like veterans and they proved beyond
a doubt that our boys make wonder-
ful soldiers, second to none. Gen. Sir
Harold Alexander, commander of the
15th Allied ArMy group in bicily, said
the Canadian Forces had done ex-
tremely well and Gen, "Aronty" Mont-
gomery the 8th Army Commander, to
which they were attached, was loud in
his praises of their efforts saying. they
fought like veterans and that the long
period of training .,khielt they under-
went bore splendid fruit. Naturally
we are all proud of their achievements,
of their bravery. Let us not forget
however that their fine showing was
not without cost. From July 10 to

Potato-Tomato Grown In. Fergus
Albert Giles of Fergus, has some-
thing unusual in the vegetable, line
this year, and brought a sample for
the editor to see last night. This was
a large potato plant, measuring over
five feet in length, with potatoes as
usual on the underground part, but
also a good crop of what appeared' to
be green tomatoes on the stalks. The
fruits were probably containers of 'po-
tato seeds, a fairly rare phenomenon,
but were far larger than anything of
that kind we had ever-seen. Even the
leaves on part of the potato plant look-
ed more like tomato leaves than those
of the potato. The bunches of fruit
appeared on more than one plant, and'
Mr. Giles had a handful' of them to
prove it, Perhaps he has a cross be-
tween potato and tomato in his gar-
den,—,Fergus News Record,

A WOMAN AMBASSADOR
At the Quebec conference there is
a lady guest who has. made a
decided hit, We refer to Mary
Churchill, daughter of the British
Prime Minister. She captured the
newspaper reporters and photograph-
ers with her charm, On the trip to
the LTnited States to visit President
Roosevelt, with her distinguished
father, she won the affection of those
with Whom she came in contact and
her visit will live long in the memory
of those she met, In Quebec she was
not only good copy but her utter
naturalness won the hearts of every-
one: She is not a tall girl but she
carries herself erect and her pictures
prove her most graceous in her uni-
form of Britain's Auxiliary Territorial
Service. ,At the C.W.A.C.'s Training
'School, Kitchener, which she visited
oon Friday last, Miss Churchill was
welcomed in a big way but the im-
pression she left behind following her
'hurried visit far out-shone the great
Teception which was accorded her.
'Canada will be very sorry to see her
go home -but as a subaltern in the
Auxiliary Territorial Service she has

weeks or months in hospitals or con-
valescent homes homes, some will be
cripples or invalids for life. We must
do all in our power for those lads.-that
come back. And remember this is
only the beginning. Our casualty
lists will grow bigger and this must
make us the more determined to give
our every assistance for the successful
prosecution of the war so that. their
efforts will not have been in vain.

Money Can Be Saved By Buying At Home
The business people in every community pay a large percentage of the local taxes;
their stocks- and stores tell the citizens and visitors whether the town is a progressive
municipality or is in the doldrums.
The Wingham merchants advertising on this and other pages of this paper, are
doing their utmost during these critical days, to promote the interests of the town by
stocking such goods as are available. They are therefore entitled to your support and by
supporting them you are helping yourself and also the town.
Gasoline and tires are precious at this juncture, so. you can save both by doing
your shopping right in Wingham. In many instances prices are controlled, so there is
actually no object in spending money for transportation.
