KI.4344 Everette Parker Mentioned In De^patdtes With RCAF Mr. Everette Parker, son of Mr. and Mi's. J. T. Parker, has received notice that he has been "mentioned in despatches'' in the King's New Yeaj- honor list. Bverelrte spent four years overseas and was a Sergeant with the RCAF, working with the radar division. At preteent he is at- tending the Ontario .Agricultural Col- lege at Guelph. The telegram read as follows: "The Minister for .Air, personally, and the Chief of the .Air Staff, on be- half of himself and all ranks of the Royal Canadian .Air Force, congrat- ulate you most heartily on your being mentioned in despatches January 1st. by order of Hife Majesty the King." Everette's many friends are pleas- ed to hnow that his services have been recognized in this manner, as his job was quietly done and wa*s not brought out to public gaze, as was the work of other branches of the service. Baptist Church Note* SOCIAL The B.Y.P.U. of Cedarside Church will hold a social evening on Friday. of this woek ut the home of Eva ! Doup^. .All members will want to I attend and bring a visitor, also ssniwiehes, cake or cookies. STUDIES IN RE%"EL.ATION i .A series, of devotional studjes. which are based on this important portion of the Scriptures will bo ; continued in the Baptist Churches ; through the next few Sundays, ' Cedarside. 11:00 a.m.. Rock Mills.! 3:00 p.m. This Sunday Mr. Keys will con- sider "The Vision and Voice of the i Lord." ; Large Transport Struck Building Evading Fatality .A local citizen had a close call from death Monday evening as he was crossing the street just south of the main intersection, when a Cope transport suddenly appeared over the hill, travelling south. He did not hear or see the approaching vehicle. (The driver of the large truck had presence of mind to head the truck for the side of the road, when he did not know which way the pedestrian would move. It struck the snow bank in front of the fur- niture store and the trailer shoved the tractor into the doorway of the Richards store, shoving open the door and breaking the brickwork to quite an extent. The truck was able to proceed to Toronto and was ap- parently undamaged. The driver of thife truck is an exceptionally good one and has driven commercially for 15 years without an accident and we hope that this will not be held against him, as he showed real pre- sence of mind in a difficult situation. While it is said that the driver of this truck was not travelling at any great si)eed, as he was intending to stop in the village, we have seen some of these large vehicels pas's the intersection of the two high'ways at a tremendous tsipeed, which is dangerous for either pedeistrian or vehicular traffic. A curb should be put on the speed artis=ts travelling through the village. WAR ASSETS GOOD JOB The news stories from time to â-  time of the amounts of money beinf taken in by War .Assets Corporation for the sale of excess war material* is not an adequate indiction of tlM fine job being done by this body. A better indication would be two- : fold in different directions. First, and least important, would be tba I manner in which the disposal of aiU* I tary consumer i-oodfe to the genenfl ' public is helping to tide over thu shortages of familar peacetime sup- plies which the average Canadian buyer requires. Second, and most important, is the manner in which the disposal of military and war-to* dusTry capital equipment 's helping to provide new jobs. This second facet of War Assets Corporation activities i^ so important it should be much more publiciMd. Literally thousands of new joba an being made available by getting buidings, presses, lathefe, drills, eott- ers, boilers, engines and scores of other machine toofe and simOat equipment into the hands of industry where they can turn out civilian sup" plies. It should be further publicized that the work of Canada's War .Assets Corporation is progressing so well the United States Government at this very moment has experts in Ottawa who are examining the techniques used by Canada's disposers of excesi war materials, so that those tech- niques may be copied or adapted to help the .American disposers of excess war equipment do as good a job as Canada is doing. This is another feather in the cap worn by Canada. Completed Erection Of Poles For New Hydro Lines The Hydro-Electric Power Commia- sion is taking away the high-ten&ion pole line through Flesherton and il taking the poles sereC routing the line across fields from th« eastern outskirts of town and along the street past the high School, while a separate line has been built from the power house, carrying the line to Dundalk. Shelbume and Orangevilla, and joins the present line a mile south of Flesherton. The pole lines have been completed and all is ahout in readiness for placing cross arms on the poles, insulators and wiring. The absence of the hydro poles aloreg the main street, should make a dis- tinct imiprovement in the '.iipjjear- ance of the streets.

Springhill Farm Forum met on Monday night. January 21st at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Johnson with an attendance of 13. The For- um agreed that we do need an inter- national organization of agricultural producerls. With an international or* ganization markets aiid prices could be agreed upon for surplus agricul- tural products. It would be a medium for dis-persing scientific knowledge in production methods and production could be planned to meet world market requirements. Pi-oper dfe- tribution of food supplies, planned production and controlled iniarkets would assume a better standard of living in Canada and all around the world. Proper distribution of food supplies and other raw materials would lead to a better international understanding and much oi tba cause of war would be removed. The secretary read a report of the last meeting of the Board of Direc- tors of <jrey County Fedei-ation of .Agriculture. There was some dis- cu'ssion in regard to the possibility of holding a short course in -Agri- culture in Flesherton. The advisa- bility of supporting the Co-Opera- tive Creameri- in Owen Sound, also came up. The Forum decided to have a film showing in the High School on review night, Feb. 25. The program will be announced later, .An invi- tation is being extended to otferer forums in the townfehip to join Springhill Forum at that time. The Forum will meet next Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ward Harrison, where a hearty wel- come await? all who can come. At the close of the meeting Miaaai Leona Johnson and Eunice Altai Served lunch. It's right to pull for a good man but far better to pull with him.
