No doubt you all know that enormous quantities of eggs were exported to Great Britain last year in powder form to con- serve shipping space Now, the people of the British Isles would sooner have eggs in shell. Since this is our only available export market it is up to the producer and the shipper of eggs to give them the best possible product. Since it takes considerable time for transit, the duty of the producer is to use every means to keep the eggs clean and to market as frequently as possible. Our duty is to put the eggs in the best possible coHtainers to assure clean and safe arrival. Every egg has to be stamped by us with the word "CANADA" in order that its source will be known. In this way a future market, and we hope a permanent one, will be estabHshed for a good product.

VICTORIA CORNERS I It is highly advi««ble that you j face realities. If you turn your back to them you almost invariaBly get kicked in the pants. Wars are won by action and not by talking and s.^metimes. we fear that pe-ice may have to be won the â- same way. If Churchill has a hand full of kings he can't be accused of l)luffing, and he may win the pot unless his opponents can show a hand full of aces. * An old Scottish woman was wand- ering around the local museum with her grandson.
