EDITORIAL COMMENT dsata The Advance would like to have a few more correspondents from districts rot now represented in its columns. Pkce your district in the public eye by some public-spirited citizen send- ing the news. We would appreciate it if you would get in touch with the editor in regard to this. • • * • Hydro in the Georgian Bay System showed a gain of 8 per cent in the primary load for February and a gain of 2 per cent in the secondary load in the same period. Many new lines for farmers have been constructed in this district during the past year or so, and the boon of electric light and pow- er has been taken to scores of farms. A line south from Flesherton on Highway No. 10 was opened a few weeks ago and is being continued into Proton Station at the present time. It will only be a short time when all the fai-ms in this area will be eqtiipped with electric power, a privilege the towns and villages have enjoyed for ywra. Will it aid in keeping more of the young men on the farms? • • • • Britain stffi mlee th« waves I Two weeks ago the new sopefr-tiiier, Queen Elizabeth, sailed proudly into New York harbor to spend the duration of the war tied up at the dock tiiere. This was done in order to make room for shipping on the Clyde in Scotland, where the world's largest ship was built. Shortly after the arrival of the Queen Elizabeth, the Mauretania and Queen Mary left for an undisclos ed port, probably Australia, it is said to be used as troop transports. All credit to the British navy in keeping the ocean's lane.s clear for traffic. While many ships have been lost close to the British Isles, none of those that have been convoyed by warships have been sunk, and the destruction of ship- ping by German submarines has been at a minimum the past few wcek.s. • • • * Interference on the radio has been very pronounced the past few months and recently a petition was circulated amongst radio owners in an effort to have the trouble cleared up. A meet- ing was called for Thursday night last to discuss the problem, but not enough interested persons appeared to even start a diacuiion. So much fur the interest of those who have to endure the radio nuisances. And while on the subject of radios, let us remark on the nuisance value of some of the programs coming through the air for which we pay a license to hear. Some uf them are so foolish and nonsensical that we wonder if some of the radio audiences in studios are not paid to be cheer leaders, judging by the lautrhs that are given to some of the most casual would-^be jokes of some t>f the entertainers. It is a »hame to have the air poluted with such trash. Creamery Maoage^x Mr. Angus Avis of Orangevilie took over his duties as manager of the Flesherton creamery on Monday, snc- ceeding Mr. Chas. Goddard, who left for KirklatMl Lake a week ago and who was the manager since the cream- ery was opened. Mr. Avis comes well recommended as a butter maker. He has been with the Kingshot Creamery in OrangeviUe for the past two years. The new manager will endeavor to give the same good service as has been the custom of tlhis firm for years. Mr. Avis has rented the residence in town owned by Mrs. Chas. Stewart, and expects to move his family here within the next week. We give Mr. Avis a cordial welcome to the business life of the village.
