" Upper leather in children's, loggers' and cowboy boots will frequently outwear several pairs of soles, and these types of footwear cannot be efficiently repaired without the use of full leather soles. Release of leather for such repairs will effect a saving by lessening the demand for new footwear end cutting costs to the New Condensed Ads. on page 5 COLBORNE PUBLIC SCHOOL PROMOTIONS JULY, 1944 Group "A" denotes those who received high marks throughout the year and were passed without final examinations.

She mentioned that the U. S. had just introduced a conservation program similar to the ReMake Revue, conducted by Kate Aitken of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Miss Evans has asked Mrs. L. E. Roe, supervisor of the ReMake Centre, to help her make a sports blouse irom a man's worn shirt and she will wear it when she plays the lead in "Mr. and Mrs. North" week of July 3 at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. With her playwright husband, Sidney Kingsley, in the U. S. Signal Corps, Miss Evans like other servicemen's wives realizes that every yard of cloth saved, means extra man-hours, and machine-hours for the more vital work of supplying needs of the armed forces. SHOPPERS ASKED TO SAVE PAPER Retailers and their customers are urged by the Prices Board to use paper as sparingly as posible in the packaging of parcels. While wrapping paper is necessary for many articles, there are others, tuch as those already packaged, which do not require it and where its use becomes waste. Wherever it is possible to eliminate wrapping, the Board asks that it should be done so that limited supplies of paper may be conserved for essential uses. Buy more War Savings Stamps!

Yet they are tolerated in some homes and in some shops offering human food and fruit for sale. The most effective method of com-bating the house fly is to destroy its ifiHfrWlfti'Wifggl breeding places. This is best done through community action involving the proper care and disposal of manure, garbage and other waste materials. A leaflet outlining the methods to employ may be obtained free of charge from the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. It is especially important to protect foodstuffs from contamination by flies. Doors and windows should be properly screened and flies that invade the home in spite of this should be promptly killed. A new insecticide has been discovered by the code letetrs DTD which when sprayed in a five per cent solution in kerosene on the interior walls of stables, barns and other buildings remain effective as a fly killer for several weeks. At present this is only available for military use in protecting the armed forces overseas from disease-carrying insects of various kinds. After the war it will be a valuable addition to the civilian's armory of weapons jn the fight against the insects. MRS. EDITH. ROGERS EXPRESSES APPRECIATION On behalf of the Committee of the Canadian Aid to Russia Fund, I desire to express my personal thanks for the valuable contributions made to "Linen Shower" for Russia by the people of Colborne, Lakeport and Linlithgow ; also for the many gifts of good clothing, wich have all been forwarded to the headquarters Toronto. NOTE : In a recent mesage to the Canadian Aid to Russia Fund, the Mayor of Kharkov, the great city in Soviet Ukaraine, which was twice fought for and accupied for ovei two years by the Nazis, says in part "It is difficult to describe the joy and gratitude that swelled the hearts of the people of our city when your gifts arrived ! "I would like all those responsible for organizing this gift collection for Russian children, and all who contributed, to know that both Russian fighting men anc soldiers on the home front deeply appreciate this friendly gesture of the Canadian people. On their behalf across the many long miles that lie between our two countries I convey to you deep gratitude and sincere greetings." ALEXANDER SELIVANOV, Chairman, Kharkov City Soviet.

Our Verse-- "Tis Thine to work as well as pray, Clearing thorny wrongs away, And plucking up the weeds of sin, To let the heaven's warm sunshin in."--Whittier. Our Sermon-- "Where are you going?" a little girl was asked by her mother one morning as she put on her hat and shouldered her father's hoe; "Oh I am going to help God make the garden grow!" came back the answer. Faith in God is a great "sheer-anchor" of tht soul holding one steady amid the storms. Through all the trouble that the sin of man brought to Him, Jesus was serene of spirit for He knew that the God who made the Sun could handle the Cross. But Jesus did more that trust, He worked also. It is not enough to pray "Thy Kingdom Come" we must work also to bring that kingdom to pass in the experiences of our times. God must give the increase, but he needs our service to make the garden beautiful and free from weeds. "Lord of Light whose, name out-shineth *. All the stars and suns of space, Deign to make us Thy co-workers. In the Kingdom of Thy Grace. --H. E. Lewis. Our Prayer-- Help us our Father not only to wait patiently for the day of Thy, Kingdom, but to work faithfully also for its coming for Thy name's sake. Amen.
