Both behave better when paddled from the rear._ THEY SHALL HAVE MUSIC The end of the war doesn't mean that the demand by troops for entertainment has diminished. As a matter of fact, it has increased. And that is why eight civilian army show units are now overseas entertaining the Canadian troops in England and also the army of occupation. The talented entertainers come from Toronto, Montreal and Halifax. Each unit has a mixed cast of about twenty. While overseas, the entertainers are provided with army clothing. The men wear battle dress and the 'women CWAC uniforms, but without the brown shoulder straps. GLEAMINGS from OTTAWA CRAMAHE COUNCIL (By Frank Morriss) THE IMPLICATIONS OF MEAT RATIONING Canadians have never been noted as a people of limited horizons. We have seen the implications of events taking place outside our own country, and we know that when freedom is threatened beyond our own borders it can threaten Canada, too. That is the reason that we jumped into this war with such whole-hearted zeal, and that is the reason we are going to see it through until the last shot has been fired in Japan. And that is why we are going to meet the meat rationing situation In a spirit of co-operation. It has been brought home to us, and very forcibly, too, that the people in Europe are desperately in need of all the meat we can spare. THE LOWLY SPUD And while on the subject of rationing, it's funny, isn't it, how we can take the ordinary things of life in such a casual fashion. An then, when one of these ordinary things of life is removed, they become pretty important. At the moment I'm thinking of the lowly spud. I thought that I could take it, or' leave it. But the potato shortage has developed and I find that I prize potatoes highly. I went home the other night, and without thinking of it, suggested to my wife that she make a dish of potato soup. She glared at me as if I'd suggested truffles in cream, with a side dish of lark's tongues. "Do you realize," she said, "that that would take six large potatoes. We haven't even six small potatoes." P.S.--I settled for a dish of macaroni and cheese. And very good it was, too. Cramahe Council met in the Council Chamber, Castleton, Friday, July 6th, 1945, at 1.00 p.m. Members all presnt, Reeve T.

It is a protection against waste . . . shortages . . . inflation. „| THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD Union Cemetery Decoration Day Sunday, July 22nd, 1945 The Annual Decoration Day of Union Cemetery will be held on Sunday, July 22nd, at 3.00 p.m. Come along and bring your friends.
