Thurston & Son, Publishcrg COOLING BATH AND CLEAN CLOTHES REFRESHES ARMY Nothig refreshes more than a cool- ing ibath and a change into clean khaki drill after the dust and sweat of the campaign in "Sunny Italy". A Canadian Armored Unit has provided this service for the troops through the mobile bath and laundry unit com- manded by Captain Bo!b Thompson of the Ordnance Corps. Capt. Thomson and Lieut. R. G. Howard, who sup- ervises the laundry end of the unit, claim Toronto as their home town while Lieut. F. M. Phillips oif the 'bath section is a native of Virginia. Sgt. Martell, E. A., of Ottawa is the senior N. C. 0. of the bath unit. Hundreds of men i>ass through the unit daily where they enjoy the lux- ury of a cool shower, perhaps a dip in the river, a hair-cut and a change into clean clothing. The laundry unit is aible to handle the cleaning problem of the summer drill and blankets for the entire unit in one week's time. Slightly more than a httndred men are emiployed in this activity, with another fifteen men 'handling the bath unit. Clean clothing and clean akin are both important in reducing the danger of serious infections, while the uplift of morale 's an ad- ditional factor of great value to the Canadian Army. Completely mobile, the unit sets up as near the front as the water supply permits and is anticipating a deluxe establishment on the bank of the Tib- er verj soon. % Kiniberley k Baptist Church 1 PASTOR â€" H.

Future Events The Advance is Taking Hoiiday Next Two Weeks The Advance is taking its annu- al holiday dui'ing the next two weeks. The newspaiper will not be puiblished during che week of July 2Sth and August 2nd. Other years we only took one week's holiday, but with the shortage of 'paper and increasing subscription list it was thought advisable to drop the two issues. The editor is going to Lions Head for lake trout fish- ing and will make his headquar- ters in a tent At this time the thought of such a holiday is very exhilerating. The office will be open after- noons and Wednesday and Satur- day nights and next two weeks, when payments on subscriptions can be made as at other times. Any job work needed in a hurry can be accommodated with de- spatch. Don't neglect this im- portant duty to ensure receiving your paper. During the past few weeks we have placed a considerabe number of nerw subscribers on our list, some of whom we cut off last April when in arrears, and in order to make room for more new subscribers we will have to prune our list and cut off more of those in arrears. It is not our desire to deprive any reader of The Ad- vance from receiving his paper, but we must comply with the law and supply only those who are paid in advance. If your paper has a date prior to Aug. 44, you are in arrears. We would apprec- iate your attendance to this mat- ter at once. The Shelburne Free Press-Ec- onomist is taking the last two weeks in July for holidays. The next issue of The Advance will be on August 9th. We'll be seeing you! Production Of Butter Is Still Below Last Year Butter production in Ontario is still running considerably below last year, according to their report for June of Creamery Instructors of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. In the Northwestern section of the Province, however, production has been very close to that of last year. The peak of production for 1944 was reached during the week ending June 17, the same week as last year, except in Northern Ontario, which was a week later. The quality of butter being produced has been very good, despite labor shortage and lack of efficient help. July prospects are for a decided drop in production, this being accentuated by the hot, dry weather. On account of the extremely hot weather during the last part of June, the Director ot Dairying has recom- mended to the Administrator of Ser- vices, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, that creameries be allowed to pick up cream at least twire a week, effective at once. Card of Thanks The Hawkins family wish to thank their many friends and neighbors for their sympathy, flowers and other acts of kindness during the ill- ness of their mother, Mrs. S. R. Hawkins, and in tlieir bereavement. Need 250,000 Bags Of I Driel Milkweed Pods When farmers in that area of Can- ada bounded by Central Manitoba on the west and a line in Quebec drawn through Three Rivers are wielding the hoe and scythe this summer, they are asked to go easy on milk- week. This request comes from th» Agricultural Supplies board. The reason for what may seem an in- consistent request is that milkweed floss is urgently needed by the United Nations for a buoyant, water- proof fthre to replace ICapok in life preservers for the armed forces. The Board has an objective for this year of 250,000 bushel bags of milk- weed pods and will pay 20 cents for each bag of dried pods. Collection of the pods will begin in the first or second week of Septennber. All of the pods will be collected this year from wild stands of milkweed. The Board estimates that Ontario will contribute aibout 200,000 bags and the remaining 50,000 will come from Quebec and Manitoba. While most of the collection will be done by school children, anyone may assist. County schools will be am- ong the principal collection centres, and cash payment will be made at the schools and other selected points. Last year the rural schools of On- tario did an excellent job in collect- ing milkweed leaves required by the Boad for ruhiber research. This year no leaves are wanted, but pods in abundance are. Since Japan entered the war, im- ports of Kapok from Java have been cut off. Kapok was normally used in life preservers. The silky floss in the seed pods of milkweed has been found to be an excellent sub- stitute, as it is waterproof.

Harold MoPhillips, prices and supply r%)resentativ€ for Western Ontario, has made clear the ration regulations concerning transient lab- or on farms. A farmer who employs transient lalbor is entitled to supplementary coupons for the rationed food he serves to these men, unless the lalb- orer stays on one farm 14 days or more. In that case, the laborer must take his ration book with him and make it available to his employer. The farmers should not try to es- timate the additional coupons he may need throughout the whole summer; but he should make application each time he has transient help, siBce supplementary rations are issued ac- cording to the numiber of men to Be employed, the number of days of et*» ployment, the work to be done an3 the number of meals to be served on each occasion. Coupons will not be is- sued on a claim for less than 12^ ' meals. If the farmer applies to his local ration board in person he will be ask- ed to fill out a form supplying this information. Under "Full details of work to be done" he must state, for example, "Harvesting rye- 60 acres". Harvesting would not be sufficient information. If the farmer writes to the local board for his coupons, he- must supply all the above informat- ion, telling in addition whether he makes his own butter. .\s with regular ration books, thes» temporary coupons are valid only when attached to the folder in which they are sent out. These coupons, mcreove-, remain valid indefinitely.

Ted McCracken, of the Armoured Corps, were presented with rings over th» week end by the people of Flesherton, in recognition of their service in the Canadian Armed Forces. Both boys expressed their keen apprecation on receipt of their ring. In Memoriam SMITH â€" In loving memory of dear Father and Mother, Adam and Kate J. Smith. The pearly gates were opened A gentle voice said "Come," And with farewells unspoken They gently entered home. â€".Ever remembered by Georgina. Evalena and Daisy. A story going the rounds says: It seems that two married couples were returning from hunting deer somewhere south of the border. Game wardens were stopping all cars to see that the occupants had only one deer aipiece, and that each in- dividual had shot his own animal. When the wardens got to the car of the party they seemed to doubt that the ladies had shot two of the four they had. One officer singled out the other woman, asking how she shot the deer. She explained, then, at his request, told him how the gun op- erated. Still thinking that she may have been coached, the warden placed his expensive watch on a fence about 50 yards away and challanged her to shoot it. "But I don't really want to do that." she implored. The warden kept at her to shoot. "Well, if you insist, I suppose I'll have to shoot your watch," she finally as- sented. She took the rifle and sent the first shot right through the centre of the timepiece. The other wardens roared with laughter. The poor gink didn't know that the woman was a rifle tester at a large war factory. Juts another event in this rapidly changing world of ours. In Memoriam BEATON â€" In constant and lov- ing memory of our dear sister. Mrs. W. J. Beaton, who departed from us July Uth, 1941. â€" Greatly missed by Sisters and Brother. The Late Mrs. S. R.
