The children's Baster fun should be
fittingly recorded — in intimate
close-ups (a portrait attachment
helps there) showing them with
baster baskets and the brown dr
fluffy white Easter hinnies they re-

Make sure that you get an "off

include too much in each picture—
keep your camera close, and get
the little, interesting details that
make a picture live! And when you
,put the pictures in your album, date
each one. A memo of day eisC. year

the corners of the backyard, tuck-

kets of candy into snug, concealed
spots. Shortly we will be seeing the
annual Spring fashion parade to

nodding in every breeze.
April 13 is Easter, and the ques-
tion now is—have you your Cam-

to memorialize that eventful day in
pictures that you will treasure in
later years? •
There are dozens of pictures that

WARNING, TAKE CARE
(Kincardine News)
April is noted for its showers
which, combined with slush and
1140.111g snow this year spells trouble
for thoughtless pedestrians and
carelesk motorists alike.
If both will exercise ordinary care
and caution especially at interseo
Ulna there will be no muse for re-
proach on the part of either.
After alk though motorists use the
roads more .than pedestrians, they
have no snore rights than those 'who
walk. At the same time, Pedes',
trians do not have the right of way
over motorists.
A pedestrian who starts blithely
across the street in the path of an
oncoming oar in all probability
be splashed, unless the motorists
Jams on the brakes and makes a
superhusnan effort to avoid the mis-
hap.
However, should a motorist come
along .art a fair rate of speed and
make no attempt to avoid splas'hing.
the best oburse to follow is to take
down the 'femme number and let the
offender explain it all to the magis
trate.
If everyone will co-operate there
should be no need for frayed
tempers or cleaning bills and A,pril

Boys and girls are encouraged to ask
questions in Canadian schools.
They are not forced to accept
false principles and theories with-
out challenge.
This is the freedom of democracy
. .. the freedom we are fighting to
maintain. What a difference this
from the fetters that a Nazi vic-
tory would impose on Canada ; ;
and on the world!
So ... you who want your children
to be educated in schools where
freedom of thought and actors is
allowed and encouraged . , . do
your part to help to win the war:
Keep up YOUR PLEDGE! :
Increase Your Regular Investments in
WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES
Remember—wben Victory is won your dollars
come back to you with compound interest. The
more you save and lend, the better for Canada
NOW—the bet -ter for you THEN.

Farm Production Must Be
Kept At Peak—A Plan
to Ensure Farmers of Help,.
The Munchen Society for 'recital.

has received tull approval of the
•Ontarto Department of Labor in it

placed before service C1111/SI In the
Province as well as employers of ;
labor not engaged in filling wtr- '
time contracts. •
points out that 3n..
tario farms must produce as ne,-cr I
before to make good on Canadian
foot comraitments to Britain, 11
would be nothing short of food

spoil in the fields owing to a lack of
farm labor.
Many farmers are on the verge of
curtailing production this year be-
cause they fear that awing to labor
shortage they will be nimble to
harvest their ammnl crap without
heavy spoilage, C.S.T.A. feels that
if these farmers ;knew there was
more than a fair chance of harvest
help being available in their nearest
town til or wouldmake a special
ellort at seeding time, and that Is
why the C.S.T.A. members are going
"all out') to organize help for the
farmer before the need arises.
Members will address service
clubs and place before them the
fact that, while farm work is not
spectacular, crop production is au
ever increasingly important cog in
the British war machine and that
this cog must not cease to function
through lack of man power.
The 0.S.T.A. yould lu,.."ae a service
club committee, or any other :as-
Pousible coanraittee of men, register
and organize into community groups
and business, professional or in
dustrial workers who hate had
experience in farm work and who
would volunteer one day's service
per week anal a proportion of their
holidays, to work 05 the farm 51
work at seeding, baying or harvest
time in case of need.
These volunteers would be organ—
ized in groups of four or five where
possible s.o that all could go out to-
gether in one car to work. It 55
hoped to organize these groups so
that each would go out on a differ-
ent day per week and so spread the -
work.
Wages would be paid by the farm-
er acording to the worth of the
man, and local wage scale.
It is proposed to issue registration
cards to business men and factorY
workers willing to help. These
cards would be sent to Alex 102s -
Laren, Department of Labor, Par-
liament Buildings, 1107011k), who in
turn would have them indexed anti
