With some best and plenty of home treatment he was able to return to work. We are now into March and in this locality the weather has been really ideal tdiia whole winter. Not too cold, yet not moist or sloppy weather. Some people would not have minded more thaws. The fields were covered early extra well with snow "•^d have had no stormy weather to block the roads very much. Early in the season the snow plow cleaned the shoulders of the road, which has made very good sleighing and yet left good roads for cars and trucks. E>en the mail carrier has not had as much trouble finding the mail boxes this ^ear. So, with this record we cannot oomplain very much, even if the Mavdi lion â€" which has not really appeared yet â€" does get a bit out of control.

Experienced Leaders are VITAL for VICTORY In six months of war the Mackenzie King Administration has set an unprecedented record of getting things done without fuss and fury. Under its steady leadership, Canada has gone ahead on all fronts â€" war, economic and domestic. With dear heads and with feet on the ground, this group of purposeful men is making every ounce of Canada's weight felt in our fight for freedom. What it has done has been done thoroughly: there has been no loose thinking; no half -measures; no waste of men, money on materials. Some of the Mackenzie King Administration Wartime Accomplisbnents It united Canada at never befOraâ€" Every province is bean and soul behind the Empire's war effon this time, thanks to the â- Administration's truly national policies. The Firat Division, completely equipped, has been sent overseas to a Mother country prepared to receive it. The Sscond Division is recruited, equipped and ready to go over. Tha paat Empire Air Training S cl i an i s sponsored and mainly financed by Canada, has been launched on a planned and ordered basis. Navai Dafanca for both East and West Coasts including Air Force, Mine Sweepers and Convoying, has functioned efficiently since die outbreak of War. Of it, a Senior British^ Naval Authority has said : "No finer work is being done anywhere by the Royal Navy itself." Prica Central at all cammadltles, including such vital necessities as wool and sugar, ius been established, with prices pegged low for tbe poor man. The profiteer is out, and will *# kept out â€" in marked contrast to the free- for-all of the last war. Shipping Cantral and Fareign Exchange Cantral are firmly esublished on sound lines and are functioning smoothly and effectively. A $2MI,IM,M0 War Laan wm over-sub- scribed widiin two days of its launching, a record that proves public confidence. Its reasonable rate of 3Vi% contrasts widi SVi'^c tax-free imte of the last war. Palitlcal and Private Patranage has been Stampad aut: merit is tbe sole basis for selection or promotion in our armed forces. Great Britain's war financing problems have been lessened tlirough the co-operation of the Canadian Govenmient. War Contracts totalling well over $100,000,000 have been placed, stimulating every branch of Canadian industry. <^nadian omploynient has hit an all-time high owing to these orders and to good in- ternal business conditions. Armament deliveries are appioaching full- speed : aeroplanes, Bren guns, tanks, artillery accessories, ships â€" all coming forward in impressive quantities. Large purdiases of Canadian wheat, â€" preventing a serious wheat glut â€" have been arranged through a .special mission sent to London by the Mackenzie King Administration. 5,600,000 pounds of bacon will be shipped to Great Britain each weelt, as well as large quantities of flour and fish. Huge shipments of steel and other mate- rials essential to the condua of the war have been arranged for. Make Yon- Vete Support Canadian Unity Such a record simply didn't fusi happen. It resulted from the efforts of a strong adminis- tration working on behalf of a country united in all Us parts as never before. And this singleness of purpose â€" conspicuously absent in 1914 â€" is due to the vision, understanding and drive of individual Canadian and Empire- minded Statesmen who back the Empire's participation in the war with their eyes wide open aod with full determination to play their parts to the full. We appeal to the people of Canada for the support which is essential to carry on and complete a task, the groundwork for which has been laid carefully, soundly, wisely with foresight, determination and resoliite courage. On March 26th afutui your faith; vote for the Candidate supporting Mackenzie King and help make sure there can be no break in Canada^a steadfiut stand in these critical times.
