RANCE There passed away on Sunday af- ternoon at her home, Rattenbury St., Eva Maud, beloved wife of Lt. Col. Harry Torr Rance, Division Court clerk, Clinton, in her 73rd year, after a long illness from heart condition. She was the only daughter of the late William Wallace Ferran and Eleanor (Archibald) Ferran, former- ly of Farran's Point, Cornwall, Ont. She was born in Clinton on the first of February, 1869, and had lived here all her life. In November, 1896, site married Harry T. Rance, now Lt. Col. Rance, Great War veteran, an officer in the first Canadian overseas con- tingent. She was an only child's and her only surviving near relative is her husband, Other relatives are Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Shaw, Clinton, brother and sister-in-law, and their family, Prof. Harry Shaw in U.S.A. univer- sity, and Mrs. M. Kilty, Toronto. Mrs. Rance belonged to the Anglican de- nomination and until her health failed was active in the women's organiza- tions of St. Paul's Church. The fun- eral on Wednesday afternoon was held from St. Paul's church, where the rector, Rev. A. H• O'Neil conduct- ed service at 2,30 p.m.. Interment took place in Clinton cemetery. The tt pallbearers were Harry Bartliff, G. M. Counter, John Hartley, • J. E. Hovey, C. G. Middleton and H. M. Monteith. STORY OF A FINE PILOT IN ADVERSITY. Michael Bond, r a successful career in the R.A.F., reaching the rank of Wing -Commander, resigned suddenly and disappeared from Brit- ain. It was whispered that Bond had been associated in some way with the disappearance of plans for a new type of aircraft yet the authorities ac- cepted his resignation without re- mark, and 'officially Bond had not a stain on Itis character. Whispering began again when Bond reappeared as . suddenly as he had previously gone, three years after his resignation. He had come into his family property at Sunninghohne, and returned to take charge of it. But during his absence the old house had been rented by a rich young woman, Del/no Vivian. Bond recognised her at first sight as hav- ing been concerned in an incident that had occurred during his absence — an incident that must not be discus- sed here, because that is the privilege of Basil Hoye, the author of The News -Record's latest serial, and which begins here on March Oth. "Happy Landing" is the tale of a fine flying man, "'who for a reason which is likely to baffle' every reader until it is revealed, is compelled to forsake his calling. It is the story of the ordeal of a strong span who, is his desire to carry his own troubles, disdained even the love of women. Start this gripping story with the first instalment on Thursday, March 6th (next week). TU C1M.SM1TBa The Ladies Club will hold their March meeting at the hone of Mrs. `Norris Ferrer, on Wednesday, Mauch 12th at 2 p.m. Roll call: "Name the place you -would like to visit, and why." Quilting bees are the order of the day. Sorry to report tate illness of Mrs. Howard Crich and hope there may be 1 an early recovery. Mr. W. Helmer had a sale this week and will move to Kitchener in the near future. OUR NATIONAL DEFENCE At the present time millions of :dollars are being spent on machines and munitions with which to defend our country, but there 'is a growing realization that if our defence is to bp adequate, good health will play an important role. Good health, in turn, is dependent to a large extent .on good nutrition. At the beginning' of the last war, a German raider was successful for some months in sinking cargoes of food, stuffs en route from America to Europe. The German sailors had ample quantities of food; but in spite of this, they finally became so ill that it was necessary for the raider to go into New York Harbour, where it was interned for the balance of the '.war. New York doctors were called in to investigate the cause of the sudden illness. They found that while the G,erntan sailors had enough food to eat they did. not have the right kind. When the right foods were added to their .diet there was good recovery. (Since that time there have .been, tremendous strides in our knowledge of foods itt their relation to health, and today the importance of food is :fully ,realized. Germany has made us of all the scientific' advances and "`While "Ger- mans are strictly •rationed, neverthe- lessle her .seceiv the"eslenttals•'for ss t y �,,,� .teal*.

He states that the young girls and boys are splendid, physical specimens, and their food is carefully controlled. Other nations have realized the im- portance of spreading the newer knowledge of nutrition and extensive programs are being organized in other countries. Canada too, can strength- en her people by an organized pro- gram along this line. Every house- wife in the community needs prac- tical advice regarding the budgeting of her food allowance. The Canad- ian Red Cross Society realized this need, aid has already established. classes in many centres where their War Economy course will be given to those. who desire to take advent - age of it. Classes under the direction of Barbara Snell are held each Monday afternoon, commencing at 2.30 in the Council Chamber of the Clinton Town 11x11.

"Crime Prevention Week" The week ending Sunday, March 2, is known throughout Salvation Army circles as "Crime Prevention Week," the Sunday concluding the week's activities, is "Prison Sunday," during which services are held in all gaols and penitentiaries throughout tate world. A. report on the work conducted by the Salvation Army in Canada, dis- closed that during the year, ending December, 1940, on 12,038 occasions Salvation Army officers have visited prisoners, and police courts; 2,780 services were held in penal institu- tions; 2,423 men and women were re - staved to homes, former employment, or found new employment; 8,332 pris- oners were handed over to the Salva- tion Army by magistrates; 32,000 free meals and beds were provided for such cases, and they were helped to accustom themselves as law-abid- ing citizens. Commissioner Cremes, ]lead of the Salvation Army in Canada,. has this to say about "Crime Prevention Week": "Nazi to winning the war li .:now of no better field for all Work- ers in the Salvation Anniy, and citi- 'tens, to devote themselves for one week than in this "crime prevention effort."

SALVAGED FROM SEA, PARCEL IS REPACKED AND DELIVERY MADE A Typical case of Postal co-opera- tion has just been reported, involving a parcel nailed by Mrs. Thomas Hos- kins, Galt, on November 9th to her mother, Mrs. C. Hogwood, Greves- end, Kent, England. Mr. P. Mullin, Acting Postmaster Galt, Ontario, states that Mrs. Kos- kins had mailed to her mother in England a parcel containing two pounds of butter in sealed contain- ers, a silk dress, a pound of tea and a pound of sugar. After long waiting, Mrs, Hogwood which received alto pared, had ob- viously passed through tear time ad- venture en route, The condition of the parcel indicated it had been sal- vaged from the sea, after the vessel on which it was 'travelling had been sunk. That the salvager was an American vessel seemed apparent, be- cause the parcel had been repacked and forwarded, bearing the date - stamp of Boston, Mass. When Mrs. Hogwood opened: the parcel site found that the contents .tad been accorded very careful ser- vice, The dress, which hail been stained by the tea, had been care- fully dried and pressed, and along with the butter, which was still in good condition, hacl been wrapped in a copy of a Boston newspaper and forwarded to its destination. Mrs. Hoskins, who sent the parcel, is naturally very pleased with the careful treatment the parcel received and has expressed her high apprec- iation for the work of those concern - ed. Poultry Colony House (Experimental Parnas News) One of the most useful houses a poultry keener can possess is a eolor.y type house, says K. MacBean, Dom- inion Experimental Sub -station, Smit - hers, British Columbia. This applies not only to the farmer keeping a small flack but also to the poultry- man in the business on a larger scale. A very valuable feature about a col- ony house is the fact that it can be used for many purposes. It may be made available as a brooder house, a rearing pen. laying house or breed- ing pen. At the Sub -station at Smithers, B.C., a 10 by 12 colony house was built, in the fall of 1939 and put to use the following spring. The re- sults with this house so far have been. !gratifying. In the first place this house was used as a brooder house with tate necessary equipment such as brooder stove, etc., installed for the purpose. At the end of the brood- ing period or when .the chicks were old enough to do without heat the stove was removed. In clue time the cockerels separated from the pullets and moved to another house. The pullets were loft in this house now being used' as s. roaring pen. All pullets were left itt this house until more room was required as they grew and then it sufficient number was taken out to assure that those left in Were not overcrowded. By the use of properly adjusted temporary roosts the pullets left in the colony house wore reared satisfactorily un- til they developed to laying age. The colony house was converted' from a 'rearing pen to laying pen by the addition of nests, dropping boards roosts, etc.. whielt were allmade movable to facilitate cleaning.

Af- ter a year's relationships with the Ontario members of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association he has been engaged by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to do full time duty in tate Press and Infornna- tion Department. However, Mr. Clarke will continue the fine program he has been conducting, consisting of newsy steins from Ontario's week- ly press. The News - Record extends con- gratulations to Mr. Clarke on his new appointment and assures hint the folks will still be listening in eagerly for his Sunday comments. MUSICAL REVUE IN SEAFORTH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHTS With a cast of more than 100, the students and staff of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute will stage a musi- cal revue in Cardno's Hall, Seaforth, Thursday and Friday nights (tonight. and tomorrow night). It is expected, that a large orchestra will play the score of the show. The production is being directed and staged by Melburn E. Turner, head of Methuen E. Turner Produc- tions of London, Ontario, who with Miss Bernice Harper as dancing in- structress is whipping the cast into shape in the conrse of a two-week rehearsal period. made available for a two -pen breed- ing house by putting in a temporary partition. In addition to the various uses just mentioned a colony Rouse can also be used as a fattening pen or for quer•- antining purchased stock before in- troducing it to the flock. The addition of one or more colony houses to any poultry plant is a con- venience that once experienced will be much appreciated. The colony house should be lightly but strongly built so as to make it readily port- able by team or tractor. Tho fact that a colony house should be built on skids and so made portable is es- sentially important so that it can be moved on to fresh gzound'frequent- ly as occasion 'clemands. It is advis- able to, have the colony house insul- ated if it is to be used as a laying house under winter' conditions.

CERTIFIED SEED MAKE plans early this year to harvest a bumper crop of smooth, clean,high-quality potatoes. Good seed is the first require- ment for an excellent crop ... because only good seed will grow vigorous plants, plants that can withstand most of the serious diseases common to potatoes. Canadian Certified Seed Potatoes are good seed potatoes. By planting them, many of the losses due to disease will be avoided ... higher -quality, cleaner, smoother, more uniform potatoes than those grown from ordinary seed stock will be produced. So, this season, harvest finer potatoes--- and more of them. Plant Can- adian Certified Seed. Grow potatoes that will grade Canada No. 1.

Mr. Lapointe. As often as not, it +appears that, while Mr. Ring may be Prime Minister de jure, Mr. Lapointe is the de facto leadler•. i It was the latter who declared on Monday that the cotuttry did not give. a mandate "to the editors of sone' newspapers to form a Government," and served notice of no compromise' with "any diabolical conspiracy of ' malicious, narrow and despicable microbes which would seek to destroy the work of beauty which is Canada." It was Mr. Ring who sat in his seat and applauded along with the party rank and file. Possibly it is the Prime Minister's view that his colleague can speak more authoritatively on National Government because he is admittedly a Quebec Provineialist first and last. Mir Lapointe thinks of Quebec and speaks for Quebec. "My province," he said on Monday, "is unanimously opposed to that proposal. The mere mention of it roases such memories that it is really a crime to mention the wort.. I don't think I could sit in such a National Government and claim to represent my Province, and I believe that if I cannot nobody else can," There obviously is the Govern- ment's reason for opposing the sug- gestion coming from many parts of Canada, from ne}dspapers both Lib- eral and Conservative, that true na- tional unity and a complete national war effort demand the co-operation of representatives of all parties. Thanks to Mr. Lapointe's frankness, the country is told that Quebec would not stand for it, and accordingly, it may be assumed, would not vote Lib- eral in the next election if the pres- ent Government listened to the call from other quarters. The memories the term rouses are those associated with conscription, which, on the ward of Mr. King and Mr. Lapointe, will not be adopted by the Ministry in office. The Minister of Justice apparently would have it known this is the security on which his Province relies, and nothing Hurst change it, notwithstanding the meas- ure of conscription for home defense. The wisdom of setting Mr. Lapointe up to snake a speech like this is cer- tainly open to challenge. We believe the rest of the country would, go far to maintain national co-operation, even of a sort which world hide un- pleasant truths. No one wishes to iinply that the loyalty and obligations of Mr. Lapointe's Province are ques- tioned. Why should he, of all Minist- ers, raise the issue of exception with language bitter and insulting to others? As one of the "malicious, narrow and despicable microbes" which be- lieve a strong, fully representative Government is essential, embracing the ablest wartime executiyes that can be assembled regardless of pasty, and not necessarily a, political coal- ition, this paper resents the temerity of Mr. Lapointe in posing as a spokes - Man for national unity from a purely Provincial point of view. Mr. Lapointe is not nationally minded. He is not democratically minded. If he claims, to be, let him tell why an, emissary from his department called on this t: newspa er microbe recently and en- deavored to gain its supportfor tis undemocratic internment methods. Mr: int es : experience en - .ori • Sides .tire to, respect; ,ss a Parhahnen-, tarian. He' knows `theeoP le he re - presents and is an able adviser of the Government of which he is part. Fiall credit is due him for his efforts to enlist Quebec's good -will in behalf of the war. But he should not be asked to represent the Prime Minister in laying down broad policies affecting Provinces he does not understand. His record in this respect has not been fortunate, Since he bas made- it adeit so plain that he represents olid Province in Parliament, nothing be' yoncl this should be expected of hirci. It would be more helpful t'ar all cotes eeimecl if the prime Nfuuster himself would assume retcpolisibility for .na- tional pt•oneuneentents. He at leas,; has better claim to a stational hearing than a Miniatei• appointed to repro - sent a section, es is tits policy with all Cabinet appointdaant:s. — Torouto Globe R, Mail. The Queen Gives Her Nance ToFund For Air Raid Ra d Victims Dominion -Wide Organization Is Founded The Queen, who is repeatedly brav- ing danger to bring consolation to victims of air raids in Great Britain, has granted the use of her name to a fund to be raised on a nation-wide basis in Canada to assist, those "in the front line" in Britain who have suffered from air raids, This will be known as the Queen's Canadian Fund For Air Raid Victims. The Queen's Canadian Fund, or- ganized with Government authority, will serve as a national framework for local funds throughout the coun- Itry, many of which have started sport- taneously in recent weeks. The na- tional appeal will be formally Mang- urated early in April, The Queen's Canadian Fund, whose headquarters are at 231 St. James St. West, Montreal, will operate in Great Britain through the Lord Mayor's National Air Raid Distress Ftind, It is supported' by newspapers through- out Canada with a combined circula- tion of over 2,000,000, and will be operated through the newspapers only, except insofar as local organiz- ers desire to make their own arrange- ments. Subscription lists will be op- ened at all branches of the Royal Trust Company and some of the daily newspapers and national week -end newspapers willalso collect funds in their own localities. The Fund has been organized by a small working committee consisting of: John G. McConnell, President, The Montreal Standard, (Chairman), Roger Ouimet, Advocate, (Vice-chair- man), Ross Clarkson, Assistant Gen- eral Manager, the Royal Trust Com- pany, M. G. Ballantyne, Publisher, Flight -Lieut. Hartland Mellon, R. 0, A. F. The 'Queen's Canadian Fund will in no case interfere with local efforts, but will rather reinforce them with. its supply of news and pictures. The Lord Mayor's Fund in Great. Britain, to which the Queen's Canad- ian. Fund will from time to time turn over monies, is a national ;effort which anticipates and supplements any Government provision by prompt gifts of,,clothingand cash 'for iia-. ate s .n c si f e m e,d,le e nt es after air raids.
