To Teeswater To 'Start At Once 444..44 114 , Paving of No, 4 Highway front Wingham to the junction of No. a Highway, to the north of Teeswater, will commence in a few days, possibly next week. Equipment that has been situated on the Bluewater Highway is being moved over, and already a large crusher has been set up in Ritchie's pit on the 4th concession of Culross. Paving of the strip from Wingham to Teeswater will be undertaken immed- iately, and b3' the time the surfacing is completed the northern stretch should. be ready, It is estimated that it will take until well into September to fin- ish the task. SMALL ACCOUNTS We have on our books many small accounts, ranging from 25c and up, which are long overdue. These are chiefly for classified ads. Many of the weekly newspapers are now refusing these small ads, unless they are paid for before insertion. We hesitate to take this drastic action, as we realize that farmers and others living at a distance telephone them in and in most cases, call and pay for them at the first opportunity. We do ask, however, that those who have not done so, help us clear these off our books. Sending out these small accounts by mail entails a considerable amount of time, work and added costs for post- age, etc. May we ask that all over- due accounts be paid.

Last week the cost advanced about . $7.00 a ton. In 1938 the price of news-- print per ton, delivered in Wingham, ta..x included, was $65.88; 1941-42, $78.- 80; it243, $82.62; 1944-45, -06,94; ,s 90, kte inidt approximate chis latest .oraoi,seolwiilili inlet , words, nearly13iGrOple; cent higher. The increase announca last week by the Canadian newsprint mills foil., ows the elevation of the 'Canadian ar to par. Newsprint constitutes one of Canada's chief exports. When the 10 per rent, in exchange premium was lost on U, S. business the mills made a re- adjustment in pike to cover it. The new price, however, was applied not only to S. but to Canada as well. The increased price greatly affects the cost of producing a weekly nc..wa.. paper. Combined with other rising costs, the increase in May forced near- ly ali'daily newspapers to increase the price to Subscribers, If The Advance- Times is to remain at the same priae, 400 per year, it will be necessary to have all subscriptions paid in advance. If your paper is in arrears now, and your label each week tells you how you stand, 'please make arrangements to have it paid in .advance, VINOHAM BAKERY BUSINESS SOLD Cordon Leggatt Takes Possession on September 2nd.

Gordon Leggatt is a returned man .and since his discharge has been em- ployed by Mr. Gibson. INCREASED POWER FOR HYDRO USERS The Geor,gian Bay Hydro System, which serves this area, has been heav- ily overloaded of late and electric Vol- tage has been -unsatisfactory. To alle- viate this condition, the Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission of Ontario has made available additional power sup- plies with a new tie-in between Osha- wa and Barrie, bringing an additional 110,000 volts, feeding from Oshawa. The Georgian Bay System serves Lake Simeoe area, Muskoka district, Georgian Bay and Bruce Peninsula dis- trict ' and as far south as Goderich. Consumption peak is in the summer holiday months. Consideration also is being given construction of more high tension tie- in lines, since the plant at Eugenia has insufficient generating capacity to pro- vide sufficient service.

Summary of Brief The Brief is summarized as follows: 1. Western Ontario is designed by nature to produce high quality seed. This year the crops are heavy and a large. amount of seed will be produc- ed. The district is largely free from serious noxious weeds such as, e.g., wild oats; hence, the popularity of Western Ontario grown seed for ex- port trade. A fully equipped sec& testing service is a first essential in producing and marketing pure seed, 2. The seed growers and seed dis- tributors of this area are labouring under a severe handicap because of the absence of a properly equipped seed testing service., 3. Seed growing and exporting are lines of business of great promise and will prove highly beneficial to all our people. They should have the support and' encouragement of the Department of Agriculture to produce maximum results. 4, The remarkable efficiency of the London Postal District in handling mail with speed suggests to our seed interests an immediate solution to their probleth, by showing- them that it is possible for a testing laboratory locat- ed in London to receive samples and dispatch reports within a period of say three days. 5. It is believed that suitable quar- ters in London can ibe procured for a seed testing laboratory and it is urged that authority be granted to collect the staff and equipment required so the work may be startedlin time to meet the needs of the current crop year.

The directors' of Huron County-Fed- eration of Agriculture, meeting in the Board Room, Agricultural Office, Clinton, Wednegday evening last, un- animously endorsed a Brief favourig the establishment of a branch seed testing laboratory in the city of Lon- don to serve the whole area of South- western Ontario included in the ten counties of the London Postal District, viz.: Essex,.... Kett, Elgin, Norfolk, Bruce, Oxfoid, Middlesex, Lambton, Perth and Huron. The Brief is in the name of Middle- sex Federation of Agriculture, Mid- dlesex Crop Improvement Association, Canadian Seed Growers' Association, and the 'Seed Dealers' Association. K., R. Hillier, London, Inspector, Plants Products Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, was pre- sent at the meeting and explained to the directors the need for such a lab- oratory. He pointed out that 100,000 bushels of seed had been grown in Western Ontario last year for export 'to the United States. "The urgency of this proposal is due to the inability of the Seed Testing Laboratory in Toronto to handle the expanding demand for services", Mr. Hillier said, Very often the length of tiem required to submit samples and procure certified or official re- ports is so great that important sales are lost. This is not helpful to the business of handling seed, ..and quite frequently works against the reputa- tion of the country as a trading and exporting' nation. The seed grown prepared for export and inspected in this area has won, a high reputation for purity and germination, and there- fore, is in great demand. It should be noted that every bag of registered or certified seed is carefully tested before it is sealed. This practice enhances the confidence' of the dealers. The local seed testing situation has be- come so serious that group meetings have been called of those interested, and wide-spread discussions have tak- en place,' with the result thata large nnumber of our leading agriculturists in Western Ontario are appealing to the Honourable the Minister of Agric- ulture for relief. "In growing and marketing seeds, the time factor is of the utmost impor- tance. We believe that the early est= albishment of a Plant Products Divis- ion office and laboratory in London, with complete equipment and a full staff of trained -workers—in other words a seed testing station of the highest typeis required to meet our present most pressing needs."

Ten years ago last week, all Eastern Cangda and the United States sweltered in the blistering heat. On July 8th, 9th and 10th, temperatures of 104 and 105 were recorded in To- ronto. On July 13th, 1936, in Hamil- -ton, a reading of 109 was recorded. -The lowest temperature that week was 92. On Sunday, July 12th, prayers were offered in many churches for re- lief from the heat which was particu- larly hard on babies and aged people. Nearly 100 Toronto people died as a result of the heat. The heat wave lasted seven days, tapering off on July 14th. Office Closed For Two Weeks The eye office of C. R. Wilkinson Optometrist will be cloSed from Mon- day, July 15th.,. until Thursday, Aug- ust 1st. Power Off Thursday Afternoon The hydro power in Wingham was disrupted for a time on Thursday aft- ernoon, the result of a brief electrical storm. During a severe crash a big tree near the home of W. T. Cruick- shank on Scott St., was splintered. Lake Huron Level Up Residents of the Lake 'Huron shore report the water level higher now than earlier in the season, and also higher than a year ago. As reported by the Federal Hydrographic and Map ser- vice, the level is two inches up over a month ago, and 11/z inches higher than a year ago. It is 33 16, inches lower than the highest level and 35 inches higher than the lowest level, at the corresponding time of year. East Wawanosh Farmer Injured Adam Robertson, East Wawanosh farmer is in Wingham General Hospi- tal, suffering from injuries sustained when he was knocked down while unL hitching a team of 'horses from a wag- on last week. The front wheel passed over his shoulder causing a broken shoulder, he is also suffering from a badly torn hind. Mr, Robertson and his son, Alex, were drawing in hay. They had backed the wagon out of the barn and were unhitching the team prior to connecting the wagon to the tractor for unloading. BAND MEMBERS -- ELECT OFFICERS Badmaster George J.

Mr. Wright has -been bandmaster here on two occasions. ,Seireral years ago he acted in that capacity before leaving town, and then taking over again on his return shortly after the commence- ment of the war, During the past few years it has been a difficult task to keep the band together with the young' men away, but by generously giving of his time he has trained several young boys and has been able to carry on. At the present time no definite plans have been made in securing his suc- cessor.
