C., Grimsby Town solicitor, in an ad- dress before the St. Catharines Rotary Club, stated that "many people in Britain believe that the war will end this year." Mr. Sey- mour has just returned from a trip to England, and says the "English people base their belief on the severe damage inflicted on Ger- many by the R.A.F. and the great- er damage Which is promised by the British and American bombers this year. The German civilians} have not apparently, been inform-l ed of the disastrous casualties suf-' tered on the Russian front, and] now that these are coming throughl some of the British expect a col-) lapse within Germany".

Ryckman and Peter Robertson as councillors. They were nominated Monday at a sparsely-attended nomination meet- ing. Mr. Robertson is a, former reeve of the village. First full meeting of the new council will take place February 8 when stand- ing committees will be named. The second nomination meeting was necessitated when only two nom- inees qualified for four seats after the nomination meeting on Decem- her 28. Other members of the coun- cil are Reeve Roy A. Saunders and Councillors Chester Elmer and Ronald Harris. . An urgent call for women work- ers has come from Western On- tario to assist in war work of the most important kind. The new plant, at present under construe- tion, needs waitresses, cafeteria workers, dishwashers, and cham- bermaids. Good salary is offered, plus room and board, ideal living accommodation, and excellent food. Applicants are asked to enquire at once at the nearest Selective Ser- vice Office, where full particulars may be obtained. Every time you read the group- ed advs. on page seven of this pap- er you are liable to find your own name. If you do, you win War Savings Stamps. Take a look to- day, your name may be there. Four people read the advs. last week and received War Stamps. They were G. L. Shivas (The White Store); F. E. Russ, (Campbell's Dairy); Mrs. T. Liddle (Smith's Grill); J. M. Lawson, Murray St. (Henley's Service Station). Next. Nine applications were consider- ed last week at the first 1943 meet- ing of the Lincoln County Pensions Board, One application for pen- sions was recommended; two ap- 'phications for mothers' allowance were recommended; and three ap- plications for old age pension were favored. Three other old age pen- sion applications were deferred for further consideration. Chairman George Hedley and all members of the board were present.

Mr. Wright had written the De- partment suggesting that the pelt might be worth $10 to $20 but the Department stated that "this pelt is not worth any amount like that." If Mr. Wright wanted the pelt f . "I note also that Mr. Wright i would like to have the skin returned promptly, so he can have it dried, but I regret to advise you that this cannot be done. The Wolf Bounty Act provides that a skin submitted as evidence becomes the property of the Crown, and although we did return the skins until a few months ago, regulations authorizing the Department to do so were can- celled last October. All wolf skins received by the Department are be- ing supplied to the Seamen's Fur Vest War Project, and While it may be no particular comfort to him, Mr, Wright will have the sat- isfaction at least of knowing that this pelt will serve a useful pur- pose, as it will eventually be of comfort to our seamen in the Navy] and Mercantile Marine." ' WED. - THUR., JAN. 27-28 "This Was Paris" l "Just where these wolves are Icoming from is, of course, impos- lsible to determine, but these cir- I cumstances are not impossible. There are wolves west of you, and each year we pay about half a dozen claims in Norfolk county. Wolve do travel long distances when food is scarce and it may be that these wolves even came down from the north country. A year or two ago a wolf was killed just out- side of Toronto. He was 'tat as a ball' and had been living off the} pheasants which we had we:st,te,i,s,s,1tl ed very well in this locality at con- siderable expense.

Among its 28 members are boys of Finnish, Jewish, French-Canadian, Polish, Negro, Russian, Ukrainian and Anglo - Saxon origin. This Troop provides a practical demon- stration of the Boy Scout prin- ciple of world brotherhood. Small seeds that cannot be clean.. ed to a No. 2 grade should not be listed. It is very essential that any sources of alfalfa, seed should be noted as there is' a big demand for this seed anticipated for 1943 seed- mg. . During the last two years a Seed Survey has been conducted in each County in the Province through the Agricultural Representatives of- tice. The information secured has been appreciated so much that an- other survey has been asked for. It not only gives buyers an oppor- tunity to locate sources of register- ped seed but also gives the grower w an opportunity of disposing of this seed in wholesale lots or disposing of the sed of Commercial No. 1 or No. 2 Grades, mostly to neighbours after a test has been secured on same by sending a sample to the Dominion Seeds Branch, Plant Pro- ducts Division, Production Service, 86 Collier St., Toronto. A circular: letter and form on which to tabu- late supplies of cereals, small clov- er and grass seeds, also soy beans and corn, has been forwarded to over 500 growers in the county from the Agricultural Office dur- ing the past week and returns are to be made to the St. Catharines office of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, not later than Mon- day, January 25th. This is all the more essential since increased production of all kinds of seed grain with the pos- sible exception of wheat and rye has been asked for to aid the war effort. Anyone having certified potato seed for sale may also list the same on the form. It is advis- able that growers have their seed cleaned and graded at the nearest seed cleaning plant or at their own seed mill as soon as possible. Lincoln County Survey Of Seed Club, e/o Mrs. F.
