His re- covery from two sicknesses during the war were feats of a much younger man but he came back full of life and ap- parently with renewed vigor. Prob- ably no man has done more to win the war in Europe. He kept the spirits of the British people high at the moment of their darkest hour, and when many thought defeat was certain he sent forth his messages of defiance that kept the folk of that Island in a determined mood. One would think that he had done enough, but now he is in the middle of whilwind campaign in the general election which will take place July 5th.. For the three weeks prior to that date he has at least fifty speeches on his agenda. It is hoped that this strenuous campaign will not take too much out of him and that he will retain his usual vitality until Japan is 'beaten. * * * * UNITED NATIONS CHARTER It is .a great thing when fifty nations can meet and finally conclude their deliberations with a charter designed to set up an organization to maintain peace. The signing of this pact will be at San Francisco, after weeks of deliberation, is a great forward step and one that will give a great uplift to this war weary world. This new charter may not be perfect but it so far in advance of anything ever attempted previously. The League of Nations was designed for a similar purpose but it proved impotent when certain crisis arose: The new organizations will have power to act and to act quickly. It is of course dependent on power given to the major powers and can succeed only if unanimity is maintain- ed among those powers. The one thing that the people want is a perm- anent peace and this charter is design- ed for this purpose. May it succeed in its objective so that wars will be no more for many generations to come. * * * * Summer is here at last. It is a grand and glorious feeling. * * The boys are coming home from overseas in greater numbers. Make it yoUr job to have them feel we are thankful for their efforts. * * * * Field lfarshal Montgomery has warned that Naziism is not dead. This is a timely warning from one who has the opportunity to judge. Let us heed this warning. * * * A Mosquito boniber set a new rec- ord in an Atlantic ocean hop. It flew 2884 miles in eight hours and thirty- two minutes to set this new record, * * * * Reports have been very prevalent that meat rationing will ,again be in- stituted in Canada. One thing is sure that we will not have such rationing unless the Government can do 'nothing else. The Government is for getting away from such control if at all possible. It is expensive and creates a great deal of work for all concerned, INTERESTING CLIPS OF DISTRICT NEWS tornertsori$ tttttttttttttt irtoutomittlitort tttttttttttt tttttttttt Baseball Bat Injures Man Quest Dobson was seriously injured at Brussels Park when a baseball bat slipped out of a batter's hand and struck hint in the face, inflicting severe injuries to his eye and nose.

BETTER 1106$ TO MARKET IN SHORTER TIME There is a notable shortage of meat on the• domestic market — and this shortage is in very grave danger of increasing, due to the tremendous needs of liberated European countries. Canadian farmers are beingicalled upon to increase their production, particularly of pork and bacon, so that the needs of these war-torn countries may be met, to a' degree at least. Canadian bacon is wanted, both in Britain and in the rest of Europe, and the need will be maintained for many months to come. Now, when every pound of pork must be produced, at the lowest possible cost, you must consider the effic- iency of your hog feeding program.. Efficient feeding means that more of your hogs farrowed reach market, at the proper weights, and in the shortest feeding period. You can increase the efficiency of your feeding, and increase your resulting profits too, by raising your hogs on a balanced ration, which contains in the i d• correct proportions, the require proteins, minerals andvitamins. Because it is a balanced ration, SHUR-GAIN 16% HOG GROWER eliminates waste, and every pound you feed is te•llized by your hogs. Balanced feeding, the SHUR- GAIN WAY means faster growth, lower feeding costs, and improved grading results.
