Conscription of Wealth (Tweed News) When people say that wealth should be conscripted, thy apparent- ly mean property, which is capital. How the government would go about conscripting capital we hardly know. A man might own stocks and bonds or plant and buildings. Now, the government does not want stocks and bonds, it wants cash. But if the in- dividual came to sell iiis stocks and bonds to realize cash, to whom would he sell? Would Jones buy from Brown when he knew the govern- ment would come to him later and make him sell again for cash ? So with a plant or building or mine. Similarly m this case, the govern- ment wants the cash. Who would buy the building? Therefore, it 'ould seem that to conscript wealth means the closing down of every industry, every mino and every mill in the country. Few people worth, say $100,000. could produce the cash; it is tied up in industry which keeps the fellows who are always clamor- ing about conscripting wealth, em- ployed. Most of such talk is ex- tremely muddled. The government has been and will further conscript wealth by means of taxation. That is the only way it can bo done. The next time someone brings up this subject, ask him how he proposes that it should be done. The answer would probably foe pretty vapuo. Arrived Safely Overseas PTE. CAMERON McLEAN Pte. Cameron McLean, son of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm McLean of Price- ville, arrived overseas recently with the Lome Scots. He was formerly with the 46th Highlanders. He re- ceived his education in Priceville and was very popular with all who knew him.

Annual Holiday Next Two Weeks Owing to the pressing matters of his military duties, the editor of The Advance will be away at ait Niagara-on-the-Lake during the next two weeks. With an- other memlber of the staff also attending the camp, it necessar- ily follows that the paper will not be published on the regular days of issue, July 22 and 29. The next issue of The Advance will be on August 5th. This year the camp extends from July 19th to Auyist 2nd, for the Grey & Simcoe Foresters (R) C.A. Assoc. Editor Fred Claridge of the Shelburne F.P.& E., will also be at camp with the Lome Scots during the same period and that newspaper will not be published for the next two weeks. We hope that the dropping of the next two issues of The Ad- vance will not be too great a hardship for our advertisers to bear and that our subscribers will bear with fortitude the loss of their favorite weekly news- paper for the next two weeks. We will be back in time to have the issue of August 5th in your hands on time. The office will be open for the payment of subscription, accounts and also the handling of necessary job work.

Three years ago he left to reside with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Moore at Meaford. He was married to Miss Emma Le- Gard, who predeceased him a num- ber of j^ears ago. He was later married to Mrs. G. Julian, who sur- vives. He was the last surviving member of his family. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon,, when service -was held at the Ferguson Funeral Chapel, Mea- ford, Rev. Harry Rice conducting the service. Interment was made in the Flesherton Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs. H. LeGard, Jos. Duncan, Win. Moore. L. Pedlar. J. Pedlar and I. Smith. Alex. Cameron Clerk Artemesia Township MT. Alex. Cameron of Eugenia, treasurer of the Township of Arte- mesia for the past eight years, was appointed Clerk of the township at the regular meeting of the Council on Monday in Flesherton. Thus for the first time in the history of the township the offices of clerk and treasurer have been combined. Clerk-Treasurer Cameron has had considerable experience in public life in Artemesia during the past few years. He served as Councillor, Dep- uty-Reeve and Reeve and for the past eight years has given efficient serv- ice as treasurer.

Mr. Cameron will be at the Council Chambers in the town hall Saturday night of each week from 7.30 to 10 p.m., in order that ratepayers may consult with him. Plane Crashed Near Town This Morning An Avro-Anson bomber came to grief this Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock when it was forced down in a field on the farm of Mervin Mc- Fadden, just north of town. The starboard engine had failed and the craft was losing height gradually as it circled over this district, attempt- ing to discover a suitable landing field. The student pilot brought the plane down, then saw that he could not stop before hitting the row of trees and tried to take the bomber into the air again and struck. There were two men in the plane at the time, the pilot and ob erver and were flying out of the Brantford Service Flying Training School. Neither f the occupants was injured in any way, but the plane had its wings damaged and port engine buckled when it hit the row of trees, the trunks of which sliced into the wings. It is expected that a crash crew will arrive this afternoon when the mach- ine will be dismantled and taken to Trenton for repairs. The crash was easily heard in town, a half mile distant.

Foresters Leave For Niaaara Sunday Penny Needed In Canada The first reaction of some Can- adian citizens to Mr. Ilsley's drastic new budget was to reach a hasty con- clusion that after paying increased income taxes and compulsory sav- ings they would have no more mon- ey left to buy War Saving Certifi- cates and Victory Loan Bonds. No one will accuse the Minister of Finance for having failed to place Canada's current war problem hon- estly before the people of Canada. He reported that we would have to collect about four billion dollars to carry on during the fiscal year. He said that even with the increased taxes, he anticipated only about two billion dollars revenue from taxes, and that the other half of the year's war bill would have to come from voluntary purchases of certificates and bond?. Mr. Ilsley was reasonably sure of his ground when he laid his new plan before the House of Commons. He knew that the large sum of two billion dollars to be raised through the sale of Canadian securities will available. And he also recognized that that money will be available only if each individual does his share in cut- ting down ins private spending to a bai'u minimum.
