audit bureau of circulations authorized as second class mail post office department ottawa issued every thursday at stouffville ontario in canada 200 in usa 260 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments apprentice farmers apprentice farmers will soon be working on farms in scotland an agreement has been made between the ministry of labor farmers and trade unions for a three- year apprenticeship scheme in the past farmers in britain have had to draw new recruits to agriculture from the sons of plowmen and farm workers the new scheme will offer opportunity to those young men who have a leaning towards a life on the land to acquire the necessary technical education for this skilled work in addition to gaining experience through practical farm work they will be able to study soil chemistry and other related subjects essential to success in farming shortage of cement it is rather queer that cement is being imported from belgium and britain to meet the unprecedented demand in canada one would think war devastated europe would require all it can produce some is being imported too from the united states though the shortage in canada proves the expansionist period of our building and construction industries it also is curious in this country we cannot meet our own needs we have the raw materials available but sufficient facil ities are not available to produce enough cement which indicates that mergers are not necessarily the answer to production thyee decades or more ago small cement factories were dotted about ontario most of them were owned by the individual operators though a few were operated by something resembling a cooperative along came the era of the big mergers under the slogan of increased efficiency and reduced costs these cement plants were gobbled up and almost invariably closed up the cement merger was one of the coups which made lord beaverbrook then max aitken a millionaire before he was 30 years of age if all those cement plants then closed were now in operation canada might not need to import cement from the united states britain and belgium windsor star whippoorwill the whippoorwill is a most unusual bird it cant really sing a note yet its call is known and even admired by most americans probably not half those who recognize the call have ever seen the bird which is a longwinged mottled brown creature with a small beak and a big mouth it spends most of the daylight hours dozing and out of sight but as soon as dusk descends it makes the world its own it takes to the air and catches insects with great dexterity it perches on poles and trees and goes into its vocal performance if the whippoorwill uttered its call as most birds do pausing for breath and a look around between phrases it would be just another bird but it doesnt do things that way it stalls that threenote call and keeps on going with what must be the most repetitious bird song ever uttered on this earth you listen to its start and wonder how long it will continue this time you begin to count and just about the time you are practically hypnotized by the calls rhythm the bird skips half a beat to catch a breath then the call goes on and on and on it is no feat at all for a whippoorwill to utter its threenote phrase with virtually no pause 75 times in a rownew york times oil for the fires of canada the heat will be on that is a guarantee but not of election heat or summer heat but of winter warmth in houses and other buildings heated by oil furnaces the department of trade has announced that there will be ample supplies of oil and of tanks in which to store the oil a chief reason for the alarming shortage in the winter of 194748 was the lack of tanks there had not been enough available steel from which to make them it is interesting to recall the adventures of oil for heating during the last twenty years in 1929 oil furnaces were rarities and whether there would be oil or not in any one winter bothered nobody it was the coal and wood sup plies that concerned people and the costs by 1939 many of our home furnaces were oilburning it was thought that the war with its armies on wheels and its oilbuining ships would put an end to supplies for domestic school and office purposes some users of oil went back to coal and stored their oil burners for the duration but regulations and the oil supplies permitted their use all through the war in 1945 people began to install oil furnaces as fast as they could get them one incentive was coalminers strikes and the shortage of railway carriers for coal oil requires little manual labour to produce and most of it is carried by ship or piped from sources to depots however in 194748 oil became scarce places which had gone back to coal in 1939 then to oil in 194445 wished again that they had coal- burning furnaces in 194748 this winter oilusers at least will have heat weilknown uxbridge doctor dead dr r b e wilson 54 practis ing physician in uxbridge for the past 28 years died in newmarket hospital friday morning after a weeks illness born in woodstock xb he re ceived his early education there leaving school to enlist in the 24th battalion of victoria rifles mon treal and served overseas during the first world war he became a first lieutenant and won the mili tary cross upon his return he became a teacher and later was graduated from the university of manitoba with an md after which he settl ed in uxbridge by a lifelong liberal mr george mccullagh publisher of the globe and mail having made a tour of observation in european countries has recently in a non- political address at a club lunch eon in toronto related his ex periences so important has that speech been deemed to be that it has been printed in pamphlet form the out standing impression that was made upon mr mccullagh during his tour was the high estimation with which canada is regarded in eur opean countries so pronounced was this attitude in europe that mr mccullagh was very proud of the fact that he was a canadian of course the high position which canada now occupies in interna tional affairs is the result of her achievements in the recent war and also is a result of her leader ship at international conferences the position to which she has at tained is a matter for justifiable pride to all canadians and to all canadians credit is due but it is selfevident that the ottawa gov ernment must be credited with having organized and focused the national effort so as to produce the result which has made mr george mccullagh so proud this being so it is interesting to recall the dire prophecies of inevi table disaster which were made by mr mccullaghs paper and conser vative spokesmen while mr king and his colleagues were formulat ing and directing the policies which have produced such satisfactory results in january 1942 the con servative party persuaded the right hon arthur meigfien to leave his safe anchorage in the senate and to venture once more the new

stouffville rjl1 on the open and stormy sea of political strife and a byeelection was held in an attempt to find a seat for mr meighen judging from the speeches that were made and the editorials that were writ ten in support of mr meighen there was on one hand a gov ernment composed of inefficient officeholders whose administra tion was shameful humiliating to canada disgraceful even criminal while on the other hand there was an official opposition that was just rarin to go and which would be invincible if it had at its head the right hon arthur meighen well mr meighen was defeated and the government of the day continued on its disgraceful course with the happy result to which mr george mccullagh bears witness today as he swells with pride when he remembers that he is a canadian canada has grown up she is to day a power in international affairs and the issues confronting the elec tors are not local trivialities such as whether premier smallwood of newfoundland was joking or threatening when he made his now famous speech great international problems are the issues with which our country is confronted if the nations fail to solve these problems the world faces disaster and eveiy individual in canada will suffer hardship as a consequence of the failure if these problems are solved other problems will begin to adjust them selves to the improved conditions granted that we have arrived at a satisfactory solution of pressing world problems international ten- sions will decrease with this de crease confidence concerning the future will return expenditures on pioblems of defence can be de- creased our energies- can be dir ected towards profitable produc tion the burden of taxation can be decreased and the cost of living will fall the present government is com posed of men who are familiar with every phase of the development of our international problems from the day that they appeared as clouds on the political horizon the prime minister and the minis ter for external affairs have been closely associated with the efforts that have been made to solve them surely it cannot be that the elec tors of canada at this most criti cal period will dismiss these men and put in their places men who may be able but who are untried and are certainly inexperienced alex d bruce rr 1 unionville business directory lehmans shoe store gloves shoes socks boots and mitts
