Any loss could be construed as food sabotage. Furthermore, every effort will have to be made to make sure that a com- plete harvesting of oats, wheat and barley etc., takes place as these crops, too, are most important in Canada's effort to supply Britain with bacon, and cheese for which there is pray tivally a limitless demand. Director Maclaren and staff of Farm Placement Officers are leaving no stone unturned to insure that the farmers' requirements are met with the very best type of farm help that is obtainable. Everything points to the Farm Service Force campaign at- taining its objective of recruiting at least 10,000 High School youths and young women, as well as males un- suited for military service, for work on the farm. 100 PER GENT CROP Every possible assistance end en- couragement must be given Ontario farmers to successfully get out a 100% hay crop as well as harvesting all other crops, Secondary School students are being asked to lend a hand to harvest these crops. City youths who are not gainfully employe ed on munitions and allied war ser- vices and highschooland Univer- sity students, .have and are still re- sponding to the urgent call of the Farm Service Force. Theyare set- ting aside their tennis rackets, golf dubs, badminton sets etc., in order to meet the call to duty. The practical suggestion has been made to Director Maclaren that bus- iness men and industry release alter- nately their male help at least ono a day a week to assist the farmers har- vest their hay and grain. This would be specially appliable to smaller cit- ies and towns whose residents are in close touch with the farm population than those in larger cities. With the necessary co-operation forth -coming, no trouble should be experienced in marshaling what labour is availaWs to supply the farmers' immediate needs. The slogan of the Farm Service Force campaign is "We Lend a Hand," If this telling were embraced .by all available patriotic and loyal Ceslad- ians, without doubt, farmers? require- ments will be met and unquestionably Ontario's Farm Service Force cam- paign will attain its objective and go "over the top." WASTE NOT -- WANT NOT Now is the time for all loyal Can- adian youth to come to the aid of the Greater b'ood Production movement. The Motherland needs all the bacon, cheese and milk products that can be obtained from Ontario. Help win the war by meeting the urgent needs of the brave and: courageous people in the British Isles. CANADA NEEDS U.S. VISITORS Sinister attempts are under way in the United States to discourage tra- vel between our two countries. Stories of the difficulties which. Americans encounter on this side of the border, are being told and believed in many sections of the U.S. The effect upon Canada's normally flourishing tour- ist travel, particularly at a time when this country needs American dollars more than ever before, was apparent last year and is again visible this year. Here is what Douglas R. 01- iver, Director of Travel and Publicity for the Ontario Government, says in this connection: "I am hopeful that many Ontario municipalities will hold Homecoming Weeks this year. We simply have to explore every possible means of get- ting people of the United States over here this year if we are to make of our tourist industry the win -the -war effort it is now cracked. up to be. " We learned for the first time last year that we cannot take this tourist business for granted. In 1941 we are endeavouring to re-establish the in- dustry, if possible, to something like the prewar scale. It will take trem- endous effort to attain this goal and only with the help of the municipal- ities—and every person residing in them—wean we possibly make it. "Sere is a chance for everyone to do his or her part to back up the determined efforts that our govern- ments are making. The Homecoming Week idea has the endorsement and the active co-operation of the Ontar- io Travel Bureau, With the further support and assistance of the indiv ;dual citizen, we can really a000mplish something worthwhile." $100 buys three 9.2 -inch howitzer shells or 2,000 rounds of service army ammnuition.
