PLANNING for EXPANSION OF
RURAL TELEPHONE SERVICE
To keep step with farm progress and to
extend service to more farm families,
the telephone industry is working on
important new devices and methods.
Plans are already under way for
resuming the rural telephone expert,
4011 program suspended in 1940, when
equipment and material became ura
gently needed for the armed forces.
Surveys are being made to determine
the needs and to provide the facts for
carrying out 'plans to expand farm
telephone service,
The goal is to 1)64 the telephone
to the greatest possible number of

WHAT CAN YOU SPARE
THAT THEY CAN WEAR?
The guns have been silenced on the
war front and peace has come to the
world, Just what this peace will
mean one cannot forecast but those
who suffered so greatly in the devast-
ated countries need our assistance now.
The war is not over for them. Many
of these people during the past five
years or more of Axis aggression have
'been stripped of all they possessed and
many had their home ruined. Some of
them are naked. Virtually all of them
are without sufficient 'clothing, shoes,
bedding, the lack of which already has
cost and still is costing unnumbered,
human lives. The National Clothing
Collection to assist in the relief of this
condition is now underway here, spon-
sored by the Lions Club. Examine
your attic, your closets and give all
that you can spare.

HYDRO ON THE FARM
A statement last week by T. H.
Hogg, chairman of the Ontario Hydro
Electric Commission made an impres-
sionon us last week. He stated that
the ultimate aim of the commission
was to supply electrical energy to
.every farm home within reach of dis-
tribution lines. There is no place
where hydro is more of a blessing than
on a farm. Much has been accomp-
lished in this respect in this district
during the past few years and if it
had not been for the shortage of the
necessary materials much more would
have been accomplished. The pro-
gram for the extension of hydro to
farms in Ontario is an extensive one
and it should be at the head of the list
of work planned. One readily real-
izes that this program must be a plan-
ned one and that all work cannot be
done at once but it is good to know
that it is on the way.

Check your garrets, closets for clean
useable clothes, shoes or bedding that
you can donate to the National Cloth-
ing Collection.

THE ROAD AHEAD
A Column For Service People
By William Stephenson
A Column For Service People,
Next week this column will try to
give a picture of "who to see" about
the various rehabilitation benefits, fn
the meantime, here are some more ans-
wers to questions service-people and
ex-service-people are asking about
"rehab".
* *
Am I exempt from Income Taxes for
six months after my return from over-
seas?
The service pay and allowances you
receive during first six months after
repatriation are tax exempt. If your
discharge comes before that six
months are ..up, your civilian pay im-
mediately becomes subject to Federal
income tax at normal, rates. The re-
habilitation grant, clothing alloi,vanbe,
war service gratuity, re-establishment
credit, and rehabilitation training ben-
efits paid to all ex-service personnel
are 'exempt from taxation.
* * *
What trades or occupations aside
from office work, can a veteran of the
Women's Services enter?
There a quite a ,number—photo-
grapher, X-ray technician, dental re-
ceptionist, florist clerk, dressmaker,
hairdresser, are only a few of the
trades for which women veterans are
particularly well adapted arid for which
she may train under the "rehab" pro-
gram. There is also an urgent need
for nurses in Canada today, Women
are eligible, equally with men, for 'all
the vocational and , educational train-
ing benefits provided for veterans.
You might discuss this with your in-
service counsellor or with counsellors
at the nearest "rehab" centre' of the
Department of Veterans' Affairs.

LETTERS TO THEIDITOR
LABOR
Wingham Advance Times
Editor:
Father Adam, according to the Bib-
lical Legend, was the first man to real-
ize life. To Sustain life, he had , to
work. The' legend related that work
was imposed on him as a punishment
for disobeying the. injunctions Jehovah
had asked' him to observe, 'and by the
sweat of his brow. Thereafter his
further existence was deternilned, as
were also the lives of all who would
succeed him, by. Jehovah's election.
This election was- construed • by the
author of the story of a'curse, Frotrk

Labor is not a cursed thing, it is a
thing blest, Labor is the sweetest joy,
nay it is the only joy. No true joy can
even approach us, save .by way' of Lab-
or. The Laborer is not only worthy
of his hire, he is worthy ,of a kind of
worship. Let us find out who he is
and give him at least honorable men-
tion. Let us pay our debt to him,
gratefully. We have not yet begun to
do so. Let us inquire how the task
can be undertaken. I will give my
vision on that later.
Yours truly,
Jas. G. Webster.
ted me and I earnestly strove to under-
stand it, but I have not yet succeeded
in doing so. Jehovah had given Adam
a body that required continued sus-
tainance, had provided raw 'materials
for its maintenance, prOcurable only by
labor and fashioned for use only by the
expenditure of labor. Labor was
therefore a necessary thing and con-
sequently a good thing, On those
who tried to evade its responsibility a
curse might alight, but on those who
endeavored to fulfil its obligations
nothing but a well done could be pro-
nounced.
There are still many today who be-
lieve that labor is a cursed thing. I am
sorry for them and still sorrier for the
Jehovah that is said to have pronoun-
ed the curse. The God of whom Jesus
spake could never have denounced
out of that sugar,
