Boyle This is a grey Sunday, with gaunt and ghastly clouds riding a dull sky like midnight riders in search of vic- tims. The wind is chilly and the little birds who came back from a warmer climate expecting to find spring are huddled together. like pathetic waifs waiting for reassurance of the soul and food for the body. This is a lonely day when even travellers seem to stay Telephone 171j Wingham Serving You Since 1935 1.111111111111.111311=1=1111 1 off the road. This is the kind of a day when frag- mentary memories keep popping into your soul. You remember people and places and the quick, stabbing flash of a happy memory is gone in a mom- ent to be replaced by flames that burns cold. Loneliness is a strange thing. So many people spend their lives running away from it. I remember being in a crowded, warm room that was filled with clattering voices and the sound of dishes and glasses clinking together. The man who was with me turned and said, "You will find God's loneliest children in places like this." That sounded like a strange statement and vet ask anyone who has ever lived in a city how often they have gone to be with a crowd of people just to escape their own loneliness and you have the answer. . I saw a picture in a magazine the other day. There was a grey sky and outlined against it there stood a team of grey horses and a farmer evidently doing his fall plowing. Even the stub- ble in the field and the naked trees and the withered weeds and burdocks along the fence line gave you the im- pression of loneliness. There is always the consolation however that the next day will bring bright sun and a cheerful outlook, Farmers are probably the best equip- ped of all to take loneliness in their stride. Why did I get off this subject. In the city the other day I met a man. He left the farm for the city because he said there was a better opportun- ity in the city, He wanted fame and fortune. When I met him, he said, "I have a good job. I like working at it but I'm coming to hate five o'clock. I have to be alone then," That sounded strange so Ile went on to explain. He said, "when I lived alone in the country I had work and. the contentment that comes from a tir- V ed body at the end of a day, Here my mind is played out but the energy re- mains in my body, What can I do? Go to a show or a dance or sit with a lot o f other people and listen to that., ter. Never once during the long win- ter nights when I sat !by myself and read the newspaper or listened to the radio in front of the kitchen range was I ever as lonely as I have been in the middle of a million people all living close together.". And so it goes. This is .a lonely day in the country but there are chotes to be done tonight .and work tomorrow and we hope the .sun will shine by morning, BORN GIBSON—In Wingham General Hos- pital, on May 21st., to Mr. and Mrs, Sam Gibson, Lucknow, a daughter —Esther Ritchie,' HARRIS—In Wingham General Hos- pital, on May 21st., to Mr, and Mrs. Albert Harris, R.

NEWS AND ANSWERS Coupons now valid are sugar-pre- serves S1 to S14, butter R1 to R9 and meat M29 to M39. QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Q:—I was not allowed to purchase two cans . of fruit which called for one-half coupon . per can, but was told I could have one can of fruit with one half pound of sugar. I did not need the sugar therefore could not have the fruit. Is this within the ration law, A:—The ration law does not require anyone to sell two cans of fruit which is in short supply and yottr dealer was within his rights in offering you the sugar. Q:—I used to get three dozen of clothes pins for 10 cents now my dealer is selling them at two dozen for 10 cents. Isn't this illegal? A:—We would have to know the name of the dealer to check this matter. Clothes pins have a ceiling price based on price set for the manufac- turer by the Board plus a set maxi- mum wholesale and retail markup. The prices appear correct but a check of the actual costs would have to be made before a definite ruling could be given. Q:—Why can grocers refuse to sell certain goods when I know they have them in stock? A:—This question has been asked many times. The Board does not require a dealer to sell any article and sometimes grocers keep goods in short supply for their regular customers whom they had before the shortages were created. Q:—How much butter was exported from Canada last year? A:—Canada 'exported 5,3,000 pounds. A previous statement quoted the figure in error at 53,000,000 pounds. Q:—Can you tell how much butter I may take to the United States this summer when I go there to spend a holiday. A:—You may take butter to the value of $5,00, You would require an ex- port permit to take a greater amount. Any questions relating to rationing or price regulations will be answered if referred to the Information Branch, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, GORRIE Parrish - Irwin Spring flowers and pink and white streamers were used as attractive dec- orations at the home of (Mr, and Mrs, Manfred Irwin, Gorrie, for the mar- riage of their only daughter, Helen Elizabeth Lillian, to John Bower Par- rish, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Far- rish, 9th con., at 1,30 p.m., on Satur- day, May 18th.
