this postwar era of shortages is that toward standardization of the homes of the people we are being eased into an era m which we shall buy homes us store shelves the effect of this on our general mode of life is one that must be viewed with alarm prefabricated houses are being hailed as one of the great achieve ments of modern science from the standpoint of ingenuity and inven tive genius tribute must be paid to the brains which conceived them and made them possible they are however indications of a tendency that imperils our whole living stan dard individuality is the one outstand ing factor which distinguishes a free people from one that is regi mented this is shown in a variety of ways in dress in the choice of work and recreation in tastes in fud and essentially in housing shortages of materials have brought prospective homeowners to the point where selection is al most impossible they find that they cannot build and the choice of houses for sale is striekly limit ed they must take what they can get 1refabrication has stepped in as the solution of the problem it is possible now to order homes from a catalogue and have them shipped to the building site by freight there they can bo quickly put to gether by fitting numbered sections it is convenient but it kills individ uality naturally the variety is not great such homes fall into only a few patterns and they threaten a dead ly sameness in our residential areas this adds to the general tendency toward regimentation in all our activities and in its subtle way endangers our essential freedom it is another

cheering section bothered him churchill said lie owes his success to his longstand ing habitof waiting until the last minute to shave under the rules of the palisades park course in new jersey either straight or safety razors could be used either lather or brushless cream could be used but one rule that was rigidly enforced was that no electric razors could be used and as far as we know there

short crop in the neighborhood of stouff viue and york county generally it appears they were plentiful up in bruce county for the walkerton herald and times paints a pleasing picture of the situation there in the following words the past week has been what is termed as raspberry time and as the luscious little fruit is above the average in yield this year many householders have taken advantage of the opportunity to replenish their larders in preparation for the coming winter this part of bruce county has many berry patches some of them on great expanses of comparatively waste land while others of less extent are located at the wood lots of the district farmers in spite of the fact that patches are very numerous very few can be found at this date that have not visited by pickers from town and country alike which bears evidence that the thrifty housewives are doing their bit to provide the necessary fruit for the frigid months it was also a moneysaving pro position for most citizens refused to pay the exorbitant nrice of sixty cents per box to the growers for the cultivated variety which it is said wore slightly below a normal crop as to the wild berries they are what might be termed as abun dant yield and on virgin land the bushes hang red with fruit as a consequence more rasnberries have been picked this year than any other season in the past decade and there are few homes at least in walkerton which have not shared in the bountiful harvest this con dition of affairs is vastly different to 1045 when owing to late spring frost the raspberry crop was almost a total failure and the yield reduced to nil wolf in the garden while picking beans in the garden at elgin house port elgin fred martin saw a wolf close up to him right in the garden the animal houesholders
