SERVICE THE LEGION MOTTO
Last week we bad the privilege to
attend the convention of the Province
of Ontario Command of the Canadian
Legion, B,E.S,L,, which was held at
Sault Ste. Marie, It is impossible in
a short editorial to tell of the vast
amount of business conducted at these
sessions, but it is safe to say that over
pinety per cent of the work that was
Carried on had to do with the soldiers,
-sailors or airmen of this war. It was
a pleasure to see the close attention
given to every aspect of the legisla-
tion which in any manner or means
,,effects the lads who are returning to
civilian life after serving in the forces.
The deliberations on their behalf were
-thorough and the heads of the various
,committees and co-workers were most
diligent, The matters which were
passed on to the convention for ap-
proval or otherwise were in the main
very carefully considered, some items
were passed without much thought
from the delegates on the floor, but
these were marked plainly as to their
-benefit of the boys that are coming
back that they required little or no
further discussion. When a discus-
sion did arise it was found that the
vast body of veterans would arrive at
a sane and effective solution. The
Legion has as their motto, "Service,
Service not for self, but for others",
and this convention was a crowning
example of it,

IT IS GOOD TO GET BACK
We were away for a week and it
'was good to get back. We do not
mean to say that we did not enjoy
our trip to the Soo and the convention
which we attended, for we did. But
after travelling over that section of
Ontario from Wingham to the Soo by
way of Toronto we can truthfully state
that we did not see a better, in most
cases not nearly so fine, district than
our own. This has been a backward
season here and our observations were
such that this condition is general.
Some places are a little ahead of us
But generally speaking they are not.
Northern Ontario, to a person from
the lower portion of the Province, has
never the appearance of a good agri-
cultural possibilities, There is much
farming in some sections but they are
experiencing greater difficulties than
ever this year to a very backward sea-
son. Passing through Webwood on
June 2, we passed through quite a
heavy snow storm. The trees were a
picture with the white covering and the
ground was also white. That country
is of a rough and rugged type and
this applies south as far as Muskoka
at least. South of that the land has
'that familiar appearance but none )s
more productive, and only small areas
are as far on as things in this section.
None of us enjoy the lateness of the
season, but compared to most places
we are fortunate indeed.

Over in Europe the war is over for thousands of people, but the aftermath of
war is more horrible in many cases, than war itself, for hunger and famine are
stalking the land.
But what 'a different picture here in Canada! Our feW sacrifices are worth
scarce a passing thought. There is food a-plenty for everybody, and at prices
that make the food available to all.
One vital need of the hungry peoples of Europe is for pork and bacon. That
need will exisit for months to come. It is up to the farmers of Canada to supply
that need to the 'greatest. possible extent. Our hog production must not slip.
We must raise more hogs "over here" for "over there".
By raising more hogs the Canadian Farmer helps himself too—because there's
money in hogs if they're. fed right. Feeding right means giving' them a bal-
anced feed—your own grain and SHUR-GAIN 41% HOG CONCENTRATE.
The cost of raising a hog to market weight with this balanced feed is about
$13.50, the cost of feeding on grain alone is about $19.80. You. save the dif-
ference of $6.30 per hog.
Decide now to go after more money from your hogs, by feeding a balanced
feed. SHUR-GAIN HOG CONCENTRATE gets hogs to market faster, and
with the better finish that brings bonus checks!

OVER ANY OTHER TIRE
Motorists across Canada recently were asked by an independent
fact-finding agency, "What Make of synthetic rubber tire would you
buy today, if available?" Goodyear was first choice with 48%. The
bigheft competitive brand Was named by only 14% : Goodyear
led by better than three to one!
Among eligible users, Goodyear synthetics have re-affirmed Goodyear leadership by their sterling performance under all con-
ditions. Technical reasons for this performance are many, but all
have their roots in Goodyear's experience in building millions more tires than any other manufacturer, and in more than 20 years of
developing and improving synthetics.
While every effort is being made to bring new tires to all motor-ists at the earliest possible date, it is likely to be some time before
everyone is eligible. Conservation of your tires is still highly
important. Keep in touch with your Goodyear dealer whose experience and regular attention will help keep your ,present tires in service. Also, he will advise you promptly when you 0 w, asbfeoc tstn5oe eligible for s,5,moxt eewpet
