A grant of $40,000 was made by | the County to the Patriotic Fund. The outlook for the adoption of the Good Roads System in Ontario Coun- ty was much more favorable than for- merly. Good Roads Recent legislation has been very favorable to the promotion ef the Good Roads Movement. The first requirement is to secure the consent of the County to-enter the system, Its not necessary for the County to do any work as a whole. county. All they have to do is to des- ignate the roads to be eventually taken over by the County. After that any single municipality such as Port Perry can undertake to construct and main- tain its share of the system, receiving through the County the Government grant of 407, of. the cost of construc- lion, and 207, of the cost of mainten- ance. Another new regulation - 'gives a grant of 60% of the cost of construc- tion and maintenance of roads of sufficient importance 'to be termed Provincial highways. In townships through which such a Provincial road may pass, it is said that the grant will be 407, The Provincial Minister of High- ways in a letter teferring to this regu- lation named such a road as that from Whitby to Lindsay as a road that would be considered of Provincial importance. Assuming for the time being that the road from Whitby to Lindsay will | be .classed as a Prowmcial highway and that 607, and 409, of the cost of construction and maintenance be paid by the Government, 1t will readily be seen that the cost to the County would be greatly lessened. This benefit would be quite apparent in such mun- icipalities as Port Perry and Reach, as the road would run via Myrtle, Man- chester and Port Perry. This would give Port Perry something over a mile of Provincial highway--from Cawker's corner to the centre of .he town and | north to the outskirts of the tow.

The greatest need of the day is food; and every man, woman, and child who can possibly assist in pro- ducing food should be busy at the job. There are many people who are inclined to think that there 1s plenty of food, but that the speculators have cornered the supply and boosted the prices. Nobody is going to ex- cuse the speculator for what he has done; we trust that he will be rewarded according to his deserts. But the evilg produced by speculation are not the only ones. There is a real short- age of food, and Port Perry and viemity are busy doing their share producing more. Every ounce of food' saved or added to the total supply is that much more to help make the "bread uullets" which will finally decide who shall win the war. Germany says shé can starve Great Britain. It is the task of Canada and the United States to give Germany's boast the lie. We can do it. We must do it, or suffer the consequences Our Plan of Action On Thursday, June 6th, Mr. Mc- Cready, of the Ontario Organization of Resources Committee, visited our town and laid before some of the citi- zens the work which the Committee wishes to see forwarded. This work covers very large ground as-- "The organization of labor : The stimulation of production The lessening of waste. He advised the formation of a local committee, with smaller committees to canvas for-- Volunteers for farm help Vacant lots that might be planted by the owners or others in beans, po- tatoes or buckwheat. The lessening of waste at tables and the conservation of all food as far as possible. The Local Committee have under consideration the promotion of co-op- erative work in saving and canning fruit and vegetables. We are asking the co-operation of all citizens and the help of the boys and girls in planting and picking fruit and vegetables, and in saving them by canning. Rev. John Ford' has kindly given his services and will keep a list of farmers wanting help, and also a list of workers who are willing to go out and work on the farm.. = This inform- ation will be available in a couple of weeks at the Treasurer's Office, Port Perry. Many citizens who cannot offer other assistance can come to the help of the Local Committee by loaning an automobile and taking helpers to the points where they are wanted. Any means by which we can in- crease the amount of food available for the Mother Land and the boys at the Front, will be a help in winning the war. Farmers requiring assistance will please notify Rev. Mr. Ford, at the Town Treasurer's office. S. J. MELLOW, President S. FARMER, Secretary WANTED Artillery Horses Age, 6 to 9 years.

N, HEAD OFFICE - No. 28 THE OF CANADA : TORONTO FARMERS ' to farmers are made a special feature by this Bank. .5 Manager. Ontario County Board of Agriculture Theré were not many persons pres- ent at the annual meeting of Ontario County Board of Agriculture held at Greenbank on T hursday afternoon of last week. In point of factit would appear that very few persons clearly understand what a Board of Agriculture is, and what its value is to the farming com- munity. Stated briefly, it 1s an or- ganization composed of representatives from all the agricultural organi zations within the community. There are many such organizations, such as the Farmers' Clubs, Junior Farmers' Im- provement Associations, Farmers' Co-operative-Associations, Agricultur- al Societies, Women's Institutes, etc. Each of these associations may send two delegates to the annual meeting of the Board of Agriculture. At this meeting any resolutions deemed to be in the interests of agriculture may be brought forward for discussion, and put into such shape that it may be forwarded to the Government for consideration. This, then, is the point of contact betwéen the farmer and the Government where the kicks that are growled out at the corner store may be crystallized into form that will have weight with the Govern- ment. As this annual meeting of the Board of Agriculture, matters may be considered and put into shape for operation that shall benefit the far- mers. For instance, at the meeting held at Greenbank, arrangements were made to offer special prizes to the schools scoring the greatest number of points according to school mem- bership, in the competition at the gchool fairs. Those who attended this annu:! meeting were well repaid for any sac rifice they may have made in being present. Dr. Reed of Georgetown gave an eminently practical address on the raising of horses. It is unfor- tunate that so few heard Dr. Reed. While he was somewhat diffident about making prophecies, the speaker thought that the raising of good horses would be very profitable to the farmer for some years to come. The Women's Institute branch of the Board of Agricultire held their meeting in the basement of the Meth- odist church, and a larger delegation was present than at the men's section. The report of the work done along patriotic lines by the Women's Insti- tutes was very gratifying. The won- derful amount of unselfish effort put forth by the women of Canada for the boys at the Front, will be remembered with gratitude. Advice to Auto Drivers (Auto Reference Book) One of the first things that a new driver learns is the advantage to be derived from consideration and court- esy extended to others using the public highway. Most drivers know that they are expected to turn to the right when approaching a vehicle, or to the left in overtaking and passing a slow moving vehicle going in the same direction. After they have come to realize the accuracy with which their car may be steered and the ease with which it may be called upon to pass and leave behind another vehicle, possibly ap- roaching from the opposite direction it seems natural for some drivers to display their nerve in not turning from the centre of the road until they are almost upon the approaching vehicle. Often, however, the other fellow. hat as much courtesy and takes the same stand, and in the confusion which very frequently follows, either one or| both cars are damaged on account of, collision. "In passing vehicles which are ap- proaching, as large a margin of space as possible should be afforded, and in passing a 'slow"moving vehicle ahead, pass him as quickly as possible and L | without Fouling in short ahead of him. INTERSECTING ROADS In approac hing an intersection, either in the city or in the country, where a-clear vision of the road ap- proached cannot be had on account of buildings, fences, -etc., obstructing the view, the car should be slowed down to a speed at which it can be readily stopped in case of the ap- proach of another vehicle from either side, TURNING INTO ANOTHER ROAD In turning a vehicle into another road to the right, the driver should keep his car as near the right-hand curb as practicable. In turning into another road to the left he should turn around the center of the two. No vehicle should be slowed up or stopped without the driver thereof giving those behind him warning of his intentions to so do, by proper signals. Additional Locals Mr and Mrs Garnet Raymes, of Barrie, were visiting the former's par- ents Mr and Mrs Geo Raymes, this week.
