Hickling General Merchant FLESHERTON A gi'oup of community-minded citizens suggest that, although at the present time there are some public institutions in Flesherton de- voted to the public welfare, such as the Horticultural Societyf Curling Club, Women's Institute, etc., yet these are each devoted to one ob- ject of limited range. It would ap- pear that there is room for an or- ganization to care for the interests of the community as a whole. There- fore it is proposed that in the com- munity there be an organization for this purpose. A SUGGESTED ORGANIZATION 1. NAME: Some such name as Flesiherton All-people's Union. (Col- loquially it would be known as "the Union"). 2. OBJECT: To care for the intel- lectual, moral and recreational inter- ests of Flesherton and vicinity. 3. PRiOGJRAM: (l)To arrange for meetings to hear speakers on impor- tant matters of the day. (2) To ar- range for discussions by members of the community on important matters of the day. (3) To arrange for mu- sical and literary entertainments. (4) To put on the stage plays by local talent. (5) To provide facilities for sports and recreation. (6) To have general reeard for the moral welfare of the community. It might discuss, and bring to the notice of the proper authorities, any matter which it considerel deterimental to the best interests of the community, but as an organization it has no other authority than that of moral suasion. 4. MEMBERS: All persons resid- ing in Flesherton and its near vicin- ity are inso facto members of the Union, and eligible for office within the limits specified below. 5. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: The Executive Committe should in- clude representatives from all class- es in the community, but priority should be given to youth and to the younger middle-age group, as most of the public service will devolve up- on them. A suggested organization is: President; Vice-President (man); Vice-President (woman); Secretary; Treasurer; Director of Sports (man); Director of Sports (woman). i?hese seven should, as far as possi- ble, be chosen from the younger middle-age group. In addition there should be coun" cillors as follows: Two senior mem- bers (one man and one woman) from the senior memlbers of the commun- ity. Two junior members (one boy and one girHâ€" seventeen years and young«r, possibly elected by the High School. Ex-officio mem'bers: The reeve; ] The High School and Public School Principals; The ministers of the churches. 6. RELATION TO THE CHURCH- ES: The Union would have no organ- ic relation to the churches whatever, but its aims and outlook should be Christian. Therefore it would be ad- visable that its public meetings and entertainments should be opened with devotional exercises. It would not necessarily supercede any organiza- tion within the churches, such as Young People's Society, nor would it supei'cede any community organ- ization already in existence such as Curling Club, Horicultural Society, etc. unless thy voluntarily desired to come within the genoar of the Union. 7. LAUNCHING THE PROJECT: A public meeting should be called to discuss it and if the general opin- ion is' favorable, this first public meeting should appoint a committee empowered to select and consitute the first Executive Committee without further reference to the communtiy. Bat at the end of each yu-ir the Exe- cutive Committee .shall be elected at a Diiblic meeting for that purpose. The Executive Committee shall ap" point its own Sub-Executive to deal with interim matters between meet- ings of the Executive Committse. THANKOFFEKING MEETING On W^ednesday, November 7th, the Rock Mills Mission Circle will hold their Thankoffering meeting in the Church auditorium. This is an open meeting and all are invited. The pro.srram will indued lantern slides on Baptist Mission work in India, and on the reconstruction p!:ins for the Crusade for Christ and Hi? Church. A lunch will he served at the conclusion of the meeting. Pulling together keeps the marr- iage knot tied. Forest fires sometimes travel faster than deer can run.

Kk4344 Hog Marketing Scheme Discussed By Federation The proposed "Hog Marketing Scheme" was discussed at the annu- al meeting of the Grey County Fed- eration of Agriculture held at Dur- ham on Thursday of last week, and presided over by Mr. CliflFord Allen, the energetic president, of Flesher- ton. The vote under the proposed Scheme is to be taken shortly under the supervision of T. Stewart Cooper, Agricultural Representative of Grey. Due to the fine weather preivailing, tihe attendance of farmers was not as large as usual. Among the resolutions adapted by th€ annual meeting was one in which the Federation states it "views with grave concern existing conditions be- tween employee and employer in the packing industry" and assumes that if the cost of processing meats is to be increased "the loss will be bom by the producer." Another resolution was also adopt- ed amending the existing constitution as recommended by the Board of EHrectors. Under the new system the officers of the Federation will be seicted by the Board of Directors from among their own number, in- stead of at the annual meeting, while other changes affect those eligible for membership, and matters of procedt-re. Addresses were given by Mrs. Mc- Phatter, president of the Grey County Women's Institute; Edward Lang, Desboro, fleld man for the Federa- tion; Jos. Crutchley, president of the Grey County Hog Producers' Assoc- iation; Geo. Johnson of Owen Sound, who dealt on the problems of tlie Cream Producers' Association; W. J. Wood of Alliston, who brought the greetings from the Simcoe County Federation, and Wesley Netl''nds, Secretary of the Ontario F |m Radio Forum. Wesley Magwood of Hanover, Secretary, gave a report on the activities of the Federation for the pas(t year. The President of the Federation, Cliff Allen of Flesherton, in a brief address, stated that while the past year has seen the war ended and won "there is another job before us, that of winning a lastmg peace, to build the new world.'' "If people are to live free from destruction" said Mr. Allen, "I be- lieve there are five pillars upon which we must build, â€" Tolerance; Respect for law and order; Practi- cal religion; Realization that the world is one community; and Faith in people.'' "The English speaking races have a tendency to consider themselves the Master Races" said the Federa- tion's President. "If we do we will never build a new world" said the speaker, stressing the need for a full realization of the fact that all men are equal. "The word is one big family" said Mr. Allen, "and if this is not realiz- ed in this age of the atomic bomb then the next war may destroy us all. "The biggest job in the world is for man to learn to live with his fellow man, and eliminate the next world war. " Hugh Bailey, of Dundalk, Presi- dent of the United Farmers' Coop- erative Company, classed the Feder- ition as "another phase of co-op- erative" which is "a group of peo- ple trying to improve the stanilard of living in the rural (â- onimunities 1 and therefore improving the stan- dard of living in ' the towns, the I cities, and the whole world.'' I He stated that the need for or- ganization among the farmers was felt as a means to combat depres- sion, and comipete with organized industry. "The farmers aru not get- ting their fair share; their children 1 do not have the same educational I facilities; we need health facilities" i said Mr. Bailey, who told what is I being done b.y the Company of which he is the head in creating a ' fund to assist members in playing their doctors' bills. Before the fanners organized "each of us was out to outguess our neighbor ' said Mr. Bailey. "We haii rugged individualism whicii is al right in its place, but we were all pulling on our own shoe strings tc get ourselevs out of the hole. "We had to join hands and have intelligent co-operation in order to get anywhere." "The Federation has organized ' and has an intelligent voice to speak for agriculture with author- \ ity." I Mr. Bailey stated that "the army I won t buy meat that has not been under government inspection" ex- . plaini'Ug that this mean-s that the I smaller packers and a battoirs are, ' therefore deprived of this business. j He suggested that the Federation I "might well ao-itate on this- matter, It should either be cleaned up or the system thrown overboard. If my meat is not fit for the army to eat surely it is not fit for the farmers to eat either. "We must build up a philosophy of honor and respect for other peo- ple in this world of our. We must have a new yardstick for the mea- surement of good citizenship" said .Mr. Bailey. Canadian service men permanently incapacitated through enemy action in the field will be confirmed in act- ing ranks held when wounded, De- fence Headquarters announced. Un- der previous regulations, acting rank was relinquished after i)0 days in hospital. We Can't Fail Now With 9 th Victory Loan Challenge Canada has completed the first week in the 9th Victory Loan and is one-third ,'over the top", a better position at the end of the first week than in any other loan. Notwith- standing that the war, so far as the actual fighting is concerned, this is a good sign. It has demonstrated to the National Finance Committee at Ottawa that the people of Canada are still at war, this time with the de- termination to win the peace as well as the actual fighting on the fields of battle. Canadians by their actions in pur- chasing 9th Victory Loan Bonds are approaching their obligations like the sensible citizens they are. There has been no "patriotic" appeal; just the common-sense argument as to why we should continue to stand behind those who fought for us, to bring them home, to care for those who have been incapacitated, and to, re- habiliate others who are returning to civil life after six years of the heaviest and most bloody fighting the world has ever known. The purchase of 9th Victory Loan Bonds is not patriotism. It is plain common-sense. It is an investment of surplus funds in a gilt-edged se- curity that will bring its benefits in the years to come, when the easy money of war is replaced by the less glamorous and hard-earned incomes of peace. It is a case'of investing savings, and potential savings at good interest to sei-s'e as a nest-egg at a time when jobs are le=s plenti- ful. Victory Bonds will stand be- ' tween the people ami want in the less-glamorous days to (Tome. Inr 1 vestment in these bonels will also in- : culate in all of us the desire to save : and to buid up a surplus of funds for I that rainy day when our earning ' power declines; when our advancing years preclude a continuance at the , labor in which we have engaged in our younger and more productive years. This is Canada's last Victory Loan. It is the last time we shall be f-dled upon to invest in war bonds. T/is is also the first time since the war be- gan that we have been assured there will be no further government loans for at least a twelve-month period. It is really two loans in one. and there is a full year's time in which to pay. Th's in itself should be an incentive to buy Victory Bonds and then â€" buv some more! The pui-chase of Victory Bonds is an investment in every meaning of the word. This investment will re- turn more interest than any other fully-guaranteed loan in which you can invest. These b'mds are as jjood as the Dominion of Canada. There are thousands of reasons why von should purchase Victory Loan Bonds at this time. Thpre is not one reason why vou should not.

"The government has no money," ' said Premier Drew. i -And in that he was right. j The government has no money of j its own. .All it has to spend it must first either collect in taxes from the I people, borrow from the banks, op j borrow from the people through the sale of bonds. I And so when we ask the govem- , ment to spend money we are asking it spend our money. We are suggest- ing that we either be taxed or asked to buy bonds. .And by the way it is useful to re- member that the government is not something apart from the people. It is, the people. â€" Midland Free Press Engagements Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fisher of Flesherton wish to announce the en- gaement rf their youngest daughter. , Mary Roberta, to Chester Frederick I !"iipr, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Shirr, the marriage will take place in November. j RATION COUPON DUE DATES I The first meeting of the Farm Forum winter series was held on Monday evening, October 29, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gra- ham with a good atten<lance.
