So far we've prevented inflation and avoided deflation. It's not been just good luck. Your support—everybody's support—of price ceilings, rationing ' and other controls alone has made it possible. BUT NOW COMES THE REAL TESTING TIME. The danger of inflation and its black shadow, deflation, wal last as long as goods are scarce and insufficient to meet demands. With the war over and plenty of money in our pockets it's easy to overlook the danger. It's easy to think that paying just a little more to get something we want is unimportant now. It's easy to think that what you do can't hurt—and t" forget that careless, extravagant buying is a sure way to help a general rise in prices. That's how inflation gets going. BUT INFLATION IS ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY DEFLATION. And deflation brings cancelled orders, bankrupt businesses, mortgage foreclosures, unemployment and distress—distress you Can't avoid. Until induttry gets back to normal, price ceilings, rationing and other controls are our safeguard, Sew Keep on watching your buying. Don't rush to buy stem good.* Keop on Saving your money.

A local firm has leased the structure to transform it into a modern business place. One of the first jobs to be un- dertaken in the transformation was the opening of the vault, For this task, J. W. Locking, an expert on locks, was brought from Owen Sound. The com- bination had become- rusted so the door was drilled, opened, revealing: One bottle of old-time Scotch whisky; one bottle of gin. Strike Good Supply Of Water The Davidson Well Drilling Co., of Wingham, struck a fine spring of water for the village of Milverton one day last week at a depth of 1'75 feet, which rises to within 31 feet of the surface. A test'was made of the well at 60 gallons to the minute and it only dropped the level of the water to 65 feet from the surface. We understand this new spring is yielding a sample of water which is'much softer than our present supply and while excellent for drinking it is also suitable for cooking and washing, something the housewiv- es of Milverton have not enjoyed with the water in use at present. The new supply will be pumped into the mains just as soon as the necessary pumping equipment is installed. -Milverton Sun.

Lucknow and the surrounding dist- rict today mourns the death of George H. Smith, who passed away suddenly about five a. m. on Monday morning. The realization that "G. H." has pass- ed' on, grips one bringing a lump to the throat and a tear to many an eye. Mr. Smith qualified by a wide mar- gin as Lucknow's No, 1 citizen by his civic pride and zeal. He once said he loved Lucknow and could not do too much for his native village. He spent his life doing it. One can scarcely think of an organization within the village in which George Smith, at one time or another has not taken an active and influential part. He was Luck- now's "indispensable" citizen. There was only one George Smith. There have been few civic accomplishments during his lifetime, in which Mr. Smith's enthusiasm and energy are not exemplified.—Lucknow Sentinel. Rattlesnake Swallows Full-Grown Chipmunk While roaming the wilds of Bruce Peninsula, Edgar Rutherford and Jim ,Miller killed a rattlesnake in which they found a chipmunk.

He says there is a fairly well-equipped Uni- versity or technical school (I can't tell which) close by, where he could. do his laboratory work, Is there any provision being made for this?" Not yet, as far as we know. The Canadian Legion. Educational Services provide correspondence courses in al- most every subject under the sun, to . Canadian servicemen and women in all theatres of war, -but no provision is made for the lab work in Germany,. However, quite a number of Cana- dian undergraduates are attending British universities while still in the service, and it is possible that your brother might be able to arrange something along these -litres, In each unit on the Continent there is a part time educational officer, and each group of units has another full time man for this purpose. If your brother were to see either of these men and talk it over with them, it's 'possible the whole thing might be arranged. * W * From Liverpool, Nova Scotia, comes the next question. A former Flight Officer in the RCAF, wants to know: "Is there any provision made for veterans taking small holdings in town? Why must they always be out- side of the main residential areas. I like the Small Holding plan fine, but I don't particularly fancy living in the suburbs." Well, a small holding which isn't on the edge of.toWn, just isn't a small holding. The plan, which comes under the 'Veterans' Land Act, is intended primarily for the veteran who is hold- ing down a regular job in town (such as an electrician or insurance sales- man) and who wants to increase his earnings or just have some fun by do- ing part-time farming or market gard- ening in his spare time. Tlye-fact that taxes are lower in the suburbs, how- ever, is a big factor in considering the location of small holdings. But you said you did not like living in the sub- urbs. In this case, you can build a home in town under the National Housing Act, using your re-establish- ment credit to help you meet the down- payment required. Branch offices of the National Housing Administration are located in various cities all across THE 'FICK OF TOBACCO It DOES taste good in a pipe Canada, but it might be -best if you contacted the lending agency first, and let them make the financial arrange- ments with NHA, * * * , "My husband served in Canada for almost three years before he went over-seas in February, but he has still not joined active," writes another lady from Haney, British Columbia, "What I would like to know is this; Will he get any gratuities? Does he receive the regular clothing allowance? If he goes to Germany with the occupying forces, will this affect his gratuity status?" On discharge, Madam, your hus- band will receiv,e gratuities. at the rate of $15 for each 30 days of qualifying service overseas, that -is, 50 cents per clay, whether lie is active or not. However, the fact that he is still NRMA bars him from receiving any gratuities for the time he spent in Canada, and it will also cut off his gratuity benefits the day he arrives back in this country. At the present time service in Germany is considered as qualifying service overseas. As for the clothing allowance of $100 he will get that the day he ceases to be a member of the armed services of Can- ada, (If you have a problem, drop us a line at Wartime Information Board, Ottawa.)
