150000 men are needed and while the re sponse has been encouraging re quirements have not by any means been met instructions have now been received here having been is sued by arthur macxamara director of national selective service at ot tawa that each local oflice is to in tensify its efforts to induce more men to accept work on the farm for the winter the directors instructions empha size the following points j 1 while men from the fauns are urgently needed elsewhere no man should leave agriculture if he is needed as a farm worker for the winter 2 men will of course return to the farm once again when their services are required there 3 men will be paid the regular wages for whatever job they accept and transportation will be provided free it a distance has to be travelled 4 workers from the farm al ready given postponement under the military callup by reason of being farmers will continue on postpone ment if they leave the farm to take other approved essential employment for the

and feed mills and at railway maintenance men not need- the only sizeable supply of workers we have left to call onin canada to get those jobs done this winter certainly it is a patriotic duty for farmers who can do so to respond then of course the wages earned will add to the years earnings for men who take these jobs the extra money will help at home mr mac naniara points out that young farm

much of the year as possible mr tod the selective service manager said that where men could not be placed in this locality they will be given work in another dis trict in any event there is no shortage of openings as the provincial governments are cooperating with selective service to secure men from the farms any man inteiested may consult his local faun pioduction committee koial

see is just developed brain power father would say although this in stance stood the farmer in good place but here we are on the brink of winter with city folk totally depend ent on others for fuel it was never so at our farm each year so many dry cedar rails were drawn up and slacked behind the woodshed along with that there was a pile of buzzwood that came from the slash near the berry patck light summer wood gathered at the swamp and cut with a circular saw in addition there was winter wood there was a pile of beech and maple tops on sunday afternoons each tall we notched the trees to be cut in the winter in the maple bush i re call as a lad those wintry days it was blowing 50 miles an hour as we jumped into the bush and soon it was still the noise of the axes biting into the trees was heard bottom logs were cut 10 or 12 feet and carefully skidded up for hauling to the mill the r est of the trunk and top went for wood it was a delight to see that wood dry out and season then late in the summer we boys piled it neatly in the woodshed there was a dry al most fragrant smell to that wood pile inside that i still can recall here was our fall supply but while all this was going on year in year out mother piled the cellar shelves with fruit apples pumpkins etc we would have existed for a year on our supplies if no morel came in since we had pork and beef hanging too those are a few of the things that father incorporated in the term of education and when you think of it in this light the farmers wide ex perience and resourcefulness stands him in first place as an educated
