OUR OPPORTUNITY It is tough going these days for the - Canadian lads who are taking it on the chin at Scheldt Estuary north of Ant- werp. It is tough going in Italy where Canadians are doing their share to drive the Hun out of that country. These fine lads of ours do not shirk their task. They have shown that they have the spirit and the determination to face the enemy and drive him back :toward his homeland. They face death hourly but carry on courageous- ly. They are making history, a his- tory that will record their brave deeds and their sacrifice. What of us? Our opportunity is now—all that we are asked for is money—"Invest In Vic- tory"—Buy Victory Bonds, A Bond is money lent to pay Expenses of the war. We get it back some future time, Full value and much more. A Bond's the answer to a shout From someone over there; "'Tome on your fellows, back us up; Show us how much you care". * * * * BE KEPT HIS WORD When General MacArthur left the Philippines he said he would -come back. At that time the war looked Very discouraging. Hitler had much 'his own way in Europe, The Japs were fast taking possession of the Pacific area. General MacArthur's men after a brilliant defense were get- ting close to the breaking point. Mac- Arthur was ordered to leave that theatre of war. His able leadership was not to be thrown away. Like a good soldier he left Corregidor but he said, I will comeback, Now he is on th e Philippines once more. The first great step in the liberation. of th4e islands. has been taken and with suc- cess. The landings were made At Leyete Island, 40() miles south of Manila, According to latest informa- tion this operation is proceeding with marked success. XacArthur is on his way back to -Corregidor. He is keep- ing his word to the men that served under him in .those dark days, also to the natives who will soon 'be freed of Japanese domination. * Invest In Victory — Buy Victory Bonds. • * *.

This . means that wholesalers and dealers will no longer receive' additional coal over their quotas for use in brooding chicks, Furthermore, their quotas are reduced from 90% to 87% of their basic period supplies. In consultation with the office of the Coal Controller we were informed that all priorities on coal for brooding purposes have been removed. If a dealer has coal on hand when orders are received, he is to give preference in deliviry to brooder supplies; this is the only privilege such use will em- joy. The coal controller advises that this foll3ws action taken in the United States .and must of necessity prevail in Canada. Production of anthracite coal in the U. S.: has dropped materially in recent mopths. It is absolutely necessary that those who intend brooding chicks in 1945, arrange for supplies immediately and endeavour to adapt to brooder use the class of coal .they can secure. They should take delivery whenever coal is available to them, even a bag at a time, to build up their suppliei. It is important that this information be furnished flock owners immediately and it would be appreciated if every- one in the industry—including poul- try producers, hatcherymen, registered egg grading station operators,-produce PrEIE average car or truck needs to be lubricated A- at 3.3 points, and at least 7 different types of quality lubricant are required.
