In the past the roads have been kept open through dona- tions through snow clubs. v _-il. Their corsages were pink rcses u nd white button 'mums. The groom was attended by his brother, Mr. Ted Moon-.

Fanners can slaughter livestock for their own personal use, but .nust have a permit if meat is to be sold. This information was made public by W. Harold McPhillips, regional prices and supply representative, who said that interim permits to slaughter livestock or have livestock custom slaughtered for sale of meat will be granted farmers who make application to the nearest office of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. When the permits have been sent to Ottawa by the local offices and the applications have been reviewed by the foods administration, permits for continued operation may be issued, replacing the interim cer- tificate. Mr. McPhillips said the order, designed to give more complete con- trol of meat supplies throughout did not apply to beef rings, who slaughter cattle for the use of the members of the ring. On Local System A couple of months ago orders were issued for the consumption of power in Ontario and electric signs were shut off and regulations gov- erning the use of electricity were made. This was to save electric power, in order that more could be used for war industries, where a serious shortage was threatened. Flesherton has responded nobly in this direction. The size of the street lamps were cut in half, the lamps in store windows were abol- ished and the citizens were urged to restrict the use of power in the home. All this has resulted in the saving of seventeen horse power in the month of October, according to Mr. Howard Milligan, secretary of the local Commission, to that used in the same period in 1941 and also a reduction in that used in September of this year. That extra light burning in the home helps keep up the peak load, on which the total month's bill is paid, so keep all un- MacDONALD DUSSAULT AUCTION SALE Credit auction sale of farm stock, implements, etc., at Lots 204-5, Con. 1, Proton Township, 3 miles north of Dundalk, on Tuesday, Dec. 8th.

During the Proton Women** Institute The monthly meeting of Proton Station W. I. was held at the home of Mrs. H. Corbett, with nine mem- bers and fourteen visitors present. The chair was occupied V Mrs. Wes Dover. Following the opening ex- ercises and transaction of business, the meeting was turned over bo the visitors, the Hopeville W. I., who entertained with a lively and varied program of readings, singing and a paiper on nutrition and war work by Mrs. N. Campbell, which was quite instructive. The program was ocn- cluded by a contest, which included the different courses served at a banquet. Some of the ladies were not very well uip on the different kinds of fishes, fruits, etc. Following the program there was a complete surprise for Mrs. Chaa. Moore, who intends, leaving in the near future. A short address was read by Mrs. Park and Mrs. Moore was presented with an electric bed lamp. We hope that at least each morning and evening she will think of her W. I. friends. At the close the social hour was much enjoyed. BATES &M1I)D( FUNERAL CHAPEL *W& Central Location 124 AVENUE RD.
