Erwin, Bayfield, Ex - Warden of Huron County Editor The News -Record, When we listen to the many hap- penings in the world 'today,,we pause and ask ourselves, What are we suf- fering in this peaceful Dominion where we still sleep with peace and .eat with plenty? Not so with Pearl Harbor, Burma, Czechoslovakia, Pol- and, Norway, France, Greece. Hol- Iand and the many other countries that .have been overrun. Govern- ments overthrown, freedom, gone, re- sources taken, yes, even taken out and shot for standing for the free- dom of the land they loved.

Also, where every mint woman and ,child can worship their God without fear or dismay. Privil- eges and Blessings we Should all be glad to. enjoy: This Dominion was declared by clever financial critics judging by the population of the dif- ferent countries to be one of the finest; richest countrieson this Hem- isphere. Think of this province alone, larger in square miles than England, Ireland and Scotland combined. The city of old London and suburbs in normal times were nearly as high in pepuiation as the whole Dominion and this province has but 3M million people: Think of the immense size of this Dominion, larger in square mules than 'the grflat republic to the South of us with one hundred andthirty- two million people. Also of the riehnesd df this' country in lumbering, agriculture, raining, minerals, manu- facturing',frait :growing, stock ram- ing' evegetable,veggrowing, fisheries and many ' other valuable "assets . of this Dominion: Turning back to confeder- aticn, some seventy-six years ago, Now that I can go I'm not going to stick around and let the other fellows do it. Bill and Jack went over last week, and Fred's been over there a year. Now it's my chance. It's going to take months of training before I can get fighting -fit, so I'd better get moving today. Yes sir! I'm going now, to tell Dad and Mom that I'm on my way to sign up. WEAR IT ON YOUR ARM *�u 0VVE1,aE; country a great future, the makings of a great Dominion.

Before Confederation it was divided in two great sections, upper and tower Can- ada.

There are .other grand provinces not al- ready mentioned also rich in agricul- ture, fruit growing, manufacturing, mining and minerals, stock raising, fisheries; lumbering, vegetable grow- ing and many other valuable assets to this great country. Surely we ought. to be thankful to Almighty God for the privileges of living in this great 'peaceful Dominion sur- rounded with blessings, privileges, resources and the richness of this country joined with the great British Empire, who today. with the aid of the Loyal Dominions, United States of America, Russia, China and other allies are fighting for democracy and the freedom of the world. Surely every loyal Canadian, British subject should be glad to sing "God Save Our Gracious King" Proud to be a Canadian. Cows Work Hard The amount of work the oow's burly has to perform in manufac- tu•inW its daily quota of milk is enormous. While the average cow has only about 80 pounds of blood, something like 200 pounds of blood must pass through a cow's udder in the milk -secretion process. In the process of converting feed into but- terfat, the blood carries vitamins and hormones to the milk, including the carotene and, laeto-flavin which gives milk its colour. It is estimated that the cow uses approximately four trines her body weight of blood every 24 hours in her work of producing milk.
