Hay Export Banned Because serious shortages in hay supplies are affecting dairy farmers no permits will be granted for ex- port of the 1944 crop, according to an announcement by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. "Farmers who hesitate to sell on the domestic market deny themnelves the only market available this sea- son,'' Donald Gordon said. Prices are controlled. The highest price a farmer may charge a whole- saler or retailer is; if the 1 ay is bal- ed and sold f.o.b. rail shipping point nearest to where it is grown ^18 a ton loaded on railway car or $17 a ton not loaded on railway car. K baled hay is sold f.o.b. farm, the fl7 ceiling must be reduced by the cost of transportation by common carrier from farms to nearest rail shipping point. If the hay is not baled, the ceiling is that for baled hay reduced by the customary local charge for baling or by f3 per ton, whichever is less. If a farmer sells hay direct to the persons using it as feed his ceiling is the sum of his ceiling price on a similar sale to a retailer and |1.50 per ton if shipped by rail in carlots, or |3.59 per ton if shipped otherwise. If a farmer sells hay on a deliver- ed basis he may add to his ceiling f.o.b. farm or rail shipping point the normal cost of transportation by comnnon carrier ot the buyer's receiv- ing point; if he uses his own means at transportation he must not charge more than the cost by common car- rier. ANOTHE R TRA GEDY Last week we briefly commented on the fact hat the Council of EI- mira had investigated irregularities at the recent municipal election, is- suing a statement which said the town cleiflc was so drunk tlittt he would not have realized what he was doing if he did tamper with the bal- lots. This week thwe was a brief news l-eport in the dailies, stating that Irvin Ernest, Elmira town clerk for nine years, died of carbon monoxide poisoning. pis body was found, fully clothed, in his car. Thus has another tragedy been en- acted in Ontario, and again there will be no efforts made to find out why men ruin their lives. Many people will blame liquor for the downfall of men, and yet liquor was not the original cause of their downfall, in many cases. It entered later. Originally, such men seem to have lost their zest for life. The ab- sence of friends, of something use- ful to do, or of an interesting hobby causes them to seek a zest for life in drinking, in gambling or in "run- ning around with other women". Do- mestic infelicity might be a contri- buting factor; or the joys which were theirs when the children are growing up and providing an inter- esting experience of life depart when the fledglings have grown and left their home nest. They feel let down and deserted. The things which kept them busy and interested are feone, and time hangs heavily on their hands. There is much to be said in favor of a balanced life, just as it is the ideal to have a balanced diet. With an 8-hour day now general, people have more leisure and more need for things to occupy their leisure. They may pass their time in read- ing or in cards, and certainly they innight well have outsidje interests in the form of public or church ser- vice. The chap who leads a balanced life is not likely to be publicly rep- rimanded for being too drunk to know what he is doing, and he is not likely to be found dead in his car in a garage with the motor run- ning. â€" Chesley Enterprise. Spent Leave In London After Holland Fighting I was looking forward to receiv- ing the Advance for some time but it just never seemed to come through, however, I was one ot the fortunate fellows to have an exis- tance long enough over here to be eligible for a leave to England, which I started on the ninth of January and finisiied on the 21st when I arrived back here with the unit there were no less than six cop- ies of The Advance awaiting me, I must admit they were rather out of date but it was still news to me and they have been coming along quite regular since, so now I have them up until the first copy in December. I also received the Dundalk Herald so I am rather well informed on the home front news. ' I might say that the first day of my leave in London I met aformer Flesherton inhabitant in the person of Rhesa McLean, who serves with a sister regiment of mine, and we were both in the same leave party, but did not meet until we reached London. We spent our entire leave together and I need not add that we had a good time as most fellows like us, when on leave, do. At least it was a great relief to have nothing to think ahout but enjoying oneself. I am having quite an interesting time since coming to Holland, try- ing to speak this Flemish language. I have even surprised myself how quickly I have got to learn it and when you first hear it, it sounds so impossible. I might add that we have certainly met some very fine people In Holland, but there are none like the Belgiun folk as far as a Canadian is concerned. The way those people look after the Canadian Cemeteries of the last war and this one is certainly something to be very proud of. I received my first lot of cigar- ettes from Flesherton a few days ago and I cannot begin to express my thanks for them, as cigarettes are nearly a thing of the past with us chaps over here. If we ever find out what is becoming of them there may be a small third world's war sooner than expected.. So wishing you all the best, I remain as ever, ' Earl Blackburn. Why Milk U 10c Some half-forgotten facts regard- ing the subsidizing of dairy products in Canada were mentioned by \V. Frank Jones, president of the Nation- al Dairy Council, in an address in Calgary. He said that he doubted if 1 per cent of the people were aware that the Government is pay- ing a very substantial share of their household expenses for such things as milk and butter. Mr. Jones estimated that by March, 1945, the Government will have paid t $150 millions by way of subsidies on milk and its produtcs He said that the average family of four received the equivalent of %3 a month, or $36 a year toward their food budgets in this way, and that without the subsidies all house- wives would haVe to pay between three and four cents a quart mpre for milk, and between eight and nine cents a pound more for butter. What concerns Mr. Jones is that consumers are quite unprepared for any change in prices, should the suib- sidies be dropped. To avoid an un- expected shock, he thought that .somebody should start telling con- sumers the facts. â€" Hanover Post. The acid test for love for our country is love for our countrymen.

It was Review Night. Mrs. Geo. Shaw pre- sided and Mrs. Jim Cargoe conduct- ed the recreation program. Two groups were formed with Mrs. Andy Fawcett and Miss Myrtle Fawcett as secretaries. A good discussion took place on machinery and many suggestions were made, ranging from putting rubber wheels on bind- ers to the u«es a jeep could be put to on a farm. It was felt that the price of implements should. be great- ly reduced. The forum wanted hy- dro as soon as possible and as ec- onomically as possible, also various electrical appliances, bathroom fix- tures, etc. which they felt could be manufactured more cheaply, at least in post war years. Such things as insulage cutters, spraying outfits, potato diggers, etc. could be operated co-operatively. The Forum makes use of all material sent out from Head Office and they want monthly meetings during the summer. iSeveral contests were put on, and readings were given by Dora Bo- land adn Howard Graham. Lunch was served' by the hostess. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Ethel Hutchinson with I>ora Boland and Billie Johnston in charge. The subject will be "producing for con- sumer needs" and will be the first of the final monthly series for the winter. , CeiT AUCTION m Farm Stock, Implements.
