POULTRY The Poultry Market outlook for 1945 is rather good as there is reasonable assurance that the same export market will be available for this year's crop. Tlie prices will, therefore, be ap- proximately the same 9a last year. In 1944 we bought the large portion of our poul- try on rail grade basis, which meant more money to the producer for good quality poultry. We are still doing this and intend to do so to even a greater extcint in the future. Notice to Our Patrons If you still have some chickens or a surplus of fowl bring it in. We wiU buy them alive or dress them for you and buy them rail grade. Our prices are good.

THE SUNDAY ROAST â€" week- ends in the country â€" the old family jalopy â€" these things mean a pleasant way of life. These are some of the things every man overseas is fighting for today. They won't be his, unless all of us make sure, when our fighting man comes back, his dollar will be worth a dollar. To protect his dollar, we must realize NOW the dangers of care- less, unnecessary buying. We must buy only what we need â€" never buy two where one will do f We must not evade rationing or price control, or deal in black markets. If we break the rules, our country â€" the country he's fighting for â€" will start on that uncontrollable rocketing of prices known as inflation! Prices will rise. As prices go up, wages try to tag along . . . and never quite catch up. The value of money goes down. Soon your dollar will buy â€" perhaps only 30c worth of goods! And there is no limit to its drop â€" look at Greece today ! The nation is plunged in poverty and depression. So let's all make sure our soldier's dollar â€" when he gets hack â€" will buy a dollar's worth of goods ! We can't give back to him his lost years or his lost youth. But, if we keep up the fight against inflation, he can look forward to pleasant, satisfying living . . . the Canadian way of life. Make this Pledge Today! I pledge myself to do my part in fighting inflation t By obsanring raHoning and aToiding black matkeis ia anv shape or form. By r«tp«cting pric* cenlralt and other aati-iaBatioa measures, and re- fraining from careless and unneces. sary buying, I will not buy t^<ro where one will do, nor will I buy a "new" where an "old" will do.
