CLINTON, ONTARIO; OCTOBER -4, 1945
IF YOU HAVE OLID CLOTHES
oid clothes are to be found around most homes.
Perhaps, theyare beim kept with 'a purpose in m'
ps . g' p p'os and,
but in most cases they probably are just making
themselves a nuisance andgathering moths. Every house-
wife occasionally likes ito have 'a big clean-up.
It seems. that now is the time for sueh a clean-up.
The National clothing -,Collection, supported by .PrimeMinister King and organ}zatione oil over the country,.
comnmeheed on• 11�onday, October 1, and will continue until
Saturday, October 20. As far as Clinton and district are;
concerned, a voluntary local committee has been set up
under the chairmanship of A. J. McMurray, and announce-
ment has been made that the town collection will take
place this coming Saturday, while rural residents in this
area may deliver parcels to the Town Hall at any time
Convenient. ,This committee deserves the utmost support
of the residents of the entire community.
Intending donors should remember one thing, how-
ever–clothing should be clean and ready for use.
Ragged children in Europe and China, facing the
coming winter with inadequate clothing, are of vital concern
to Canadians. An essential pant of Canada's immediate.
industrial and agricultural program is the production of
urgent necessities for Europe and China, and one of the
most sorely needed of these is clothing. Let us do our
part.
FARM FIRES CAN BE PREVENTED'
Today the whole world is clamouring for food. The
war has left good stocks in liberated countries in
a very exhausted condition, and Canada, along with
the other United Nations, is expected to provide its share
of the, world's bread basket. Food cannot be supplied
from the ruins of burned barns, and a good many were
destroyed by fire in Canada last year. Fain" fire 'Iosses
isnounted to more than $3,000,000 in nearly 2,500 fires.
Records show that there are eight major causes
of farm fires: defective chimneys and flues, sparks on
combustible roofs, lightning, ,spontaneous ignition, matches,
gasoline or kerosene, heating equipment and electrical
wiring. Threshing operations are another hazard.. All
these causes may be eliminated by the application ' of
ordinary fire prevention principles.
The hazards of a conflagration may be reduced by
proper construction and spacing of farm buildings. As a
rule, farmers are, isolated and for this reason they should
provide some form of fire proteetion in the way of pails
or barrels of water, hand pumps, extinguishers and
ladders.
It is most important, particularly at this time, tifat
we take no chances whatever with fire on our farms.
NINTH VICTORY LOAN IS TRULY
A WAR LOAN
The NEWS -RECORD, in its news 'columns today,
•announces the organization of .the county and local
committees for the Ninth Victory Loan Campaign
which opens October 22.
With peacetime plans being made everywhere, we
should not lose sight of the ,fact that the Ninth Victory
Loan is definitely a war loam There exists no magic
wand one can use to waft military forces from the scenes
of battle to their normal home surroundings overnight.
Unfortunately, ,long after the enemy surrenders, the 'cost
of war goes on. It is estimated, for example, that Canada
must raise about $25,000,000 during the present year to:
' provide 'adequate medical attention and hospitalization
for the men who are coming back wounded and ill. The
amount needed to pay gratuities and take care of re-
establishment credit's to men returning from battle is
about $900,000,000. In addition to all that, the Canadian
people must meet the cost of bringing the troops home, and
the maintenance of our forces in Germany. Pay of the
men who are awaiting demobilization goes on. Cheques+
to dependents keep going out until the soldier has his
discharge papers.
Domestic expenditures are made heavier' by the
unprecedented demands of this period of reconstruction
in the nation. But of this we can be sure — the major
portion of the money which Canadians will provide for
the purchase of Moth Victory Loan bonds is needed to
cover the cost of war.

Last week's tllinton News -Record
made the aneoyncement.:,, that the.
business ;; had passed under new
ownership.
G. N. Hall, who has been owner
and publisher' of the,Clinton printing
plant since 1916, has sold the busi-
ness to R. S. Atkey and H. L. Tom-
linson, who have already taken pos.
session.
Publishers throughout Western
Ontario will learn Mr. Hall's retire-
ment with keen regret. In news-
paper . circles he was widely
known and highly esteemed. It: is
learned with even greater regret by.
the present editor of The Standard
who began his dareer as a newspaper
man in that office in 1924, and was
carefully nursed and guided .into the
ways of printing until he finally be-
came the linotype operator, a position
which he held until ,the spring of
1938, when The Standard was pur-
chased.
Mr, Hall began his career as a
Newspapesmau 56 years ago on The
Sirncoe Reformer. Ile was then 14
years of age, and had just completed
his public school' education. He came
to Clinton in 1906, taking a position
with The Nevis=Record, which was
then owned by the late W. J. Mitchell.
He also was employed for some
time with the Clinton New Era, a
paper which ceased publication in
1924, when it was amalgamated with
The News -Record. Associated with
Mr•. Hall for massy years, while the
writer was an employee e f The
News -Record, was the late Miss
Mabel Rebecca Clark, who was on the

staff of The News -Record in, the
capacity of editor in 1916, when Mir.
Hall purchased the business.' Also a
member of the staff for many, years
was Mr. Hall's son, Gordon L. Hall,
now owner and publisher of The
Haldinrand Advocate,printed at
Cayuga. It was . he who taught the
writer .how to tickle the ivories on a
linotype key board.
For many years the staff of The
News -Record was just one big happy
family, ofwhich the writer` was
pribilegedi to be a member.. W'e, will
always remember Mr. Nell 'as a
good friend, and adviser, never a
boss.
We learn with pleasure that he will
still continue to reside in Clinton:.
While we regret very mucin Me.
Hall's retirement, we must not for-
get a word of welcome to the new
son: Both these men come to Clinton
backed by wide experience in news-
paper work, Both were associated
with The Barrie Examier, a weekly
publication.. Mr. Atkey as; News

served as a Staff Sergeant with the

We add our voice of welcome as,
they begin their career as- publishers
of The News -Record, and express the
hope that the undertaking will not
only be beneficial to themselves, bit
'also to the community wliieln The
News -Record serves. Weare sure it

In most liberated European countries, there k a
desperate shortage of meat.
As a great food -producing nation, Canada must,
can —and will —help to meet the emergency.
The job will not be finished at the year's end. Food
scarcities in Europe will continue until the next harvest.
* * *
This year, Europe is relying on Canada for a
minimum of 789 million pounds of beef, pork and
canned meat.
Up to the end of August, only 479 million pounds
, had been sent:
How soon can we bridge the gaps
Livestock markefings are normally at their heaviest
in the last four months of the year.
If we are to Help feed the hungry peoples of de-
vastated Europe, this is the time to make our greatest
effort.
* * *
To do our part, we must reduce our own consump-
tion of meat and also assure that everyone in Canada
gets a fair share.
That is why rationing is necessary.
MEAT RATIONING ADDS TO EVERYONE'S WORK
The producer who slaughters, the retailer who sells, the consumer who buys and oats—they alt playa vital part.
•
AS A CONSUMER, HERE iS HOW YOU CAN CO-OPERATE
1. Try fo pian your meat purchases before leaving home by determining what cuts you intend to buy
and their approximate weights.
2. Make sure you have enough valid coupons and tokens to cover your proposed purchases by
referring to the Consumer Coupon Value Chart and the Coupon and Token Calculator. Copies may
be obtained from your Local Ration Board or Ration Branch.
3. Know the dates your "M” coupons become valid.'
Do not buy more meat than you really need.
5. Avoid shopping at rush hours.
:b. Be patient. Remember—.your butcher may have inexperienced help.
