Somehow I have the idea that not only will your hou.se and mine benefit in the sincere carryinR out of the resolu- tion, but also the neiRhbor, the friend, yea, all the community. It will prove 11 worthwhile resolution if faithfully and prajerfuUy carried out. Try it. Thi.s jjoes for the individual also, who will consecrate himself or herself to the service of the Lord <lurinK the year 1938, sayingâ€" "As for me, I will serve the Lord." Try it. Try it prayerfully, faithfully, and a truly Happv New Year is yours. â€"SCRIBE. •SHIN PLASTERS" BEING CALLED IN "Shin pla>lers," the small 2.')-cent paper bills so sought after by tourists and children, are to bid farewell to the dominions money markets.

Poultry Hold on Griuitt Tho major portion of Chrlatmas poultry was bought and sold on grade this year, tihunks to the news- paper advertising campaign by the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture which rocoived every assistance of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture In the martter. Retailers report the public as be- ing pleased with the Idea of graded poultry as It takes the "guess" out of buying the Christmas turkey. In oBber words, housewife pays for what she gets. A Grade "A" red tag t(»lls tho buyer that the bird, whether turkey, chicken, goose or (lurk, is well-fleshod and especially fal.teneid for tendornt»ss. A Grade "B" or blue tag shows that the bird is good one, but not as well-fleshed, while a Grade "C" or yellow tug tells the world that Mr. Turkey la not quite as good In quality and thereforo not worth so much of the hou'ieholder's money. (lulre the same attention as orcliards at the same time, to obtain protitable n^turns, some atteiitlou must be given to the conditions of growth. COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION (Toronto Globe and Mall) If the I'rovince of Ontario Is •proud of Its booze business let It re- joice In lis Christmas achievement. Let it crown its bottles with mis- letoe, deck Its emporiums with â- holly, make every day Christmas and every evening a Christmas eve orgy. Then Indeed should Its cup â- of happiness be overflowing. Con- sider the revenue. No effort was omitted to make liquor available; store hours ex- tended, staffs enlarged. A Merry Christmas for all! Result in Toronto and district: Three persons killed, sixty-one In- jured, fifteen seriously; twenty- seven persons arrested, one for man- slaughter and another for criminal negligence; 140 known accidents; 200 arrests for drunkenness. A Merry Chrl-stmas for Ontario's liqu- or business. Probably not In history has there been such a sight in downtown Tor- onto as on the night of Dec. 24. The streets were staggering with Ineb- riates, men and women, boys and girls. I)ei)artlng throngs at the Union Station were hilarious with liquor. Every street car carried Its quota of liquor-store and boverage- room products. Motor cars were driven by people without their senses. The poor blind newspaper vi»ndor and his wife were In the way of a .Merry Christmas; so their liv(\s were .snuffed out. They will not Interfere any more. Any pedestralii took his life In his hands. There Is no way In which the ser- lousu'-ss of the situation can bo mInlmiziMl. The stn>ei8 were not favorable for safe driving. Careful, sober motorists took this Into ac- count; th(! drunks did not. Tho warnings, pleas fur safety fell on too many deaf ears. But who ex- pected ni<Ti and w<imen disabled by liquor to drive carefully? In the last analysis tin- bhime for this condition Is attributable to high- pressure li<|Uor sales. The I'rovince offlrially must accept a large share of responsibility, us long as it pre- tends to oiierati- undor a 'onlrol policy. The I'rovin- !• c.iniiol control hu- man fralltbs or .ippitites. It can conduct its Ibiuor l)ii>ines« .sd that booze will not be so freely dispens- ed. Instead of extending hours and | wtaffs, 11 can restrict them on occa- ^'ions of the kind and should do .so. It will have to make It mori> diffl- eult for Irresponsible nun ami wo- men to run wild. It was to be expi'cted that the les- uon of last year had been well learn- ed. We know now that lessons and experiences are soon forgotten. Control must be exercised at the source of these sad Christmases and unhappy New Years. liiveNtock .Situation Exports of live cattle to the Unit- ed States recorded a substantial in- crease during the past year, but shipments to flhe United Kingdom were negligible. With the severe decline In cattle prices In the United States in recent weeks, the market la now definitely below an export basis, but the recent reduction In Canadian markets has placed On- tario cattle In a position for export to the United Kingdom. The trend of bacon and ham ex- ports to the Ignited Kingdom con- tinued to rise and for tho twelve monnhs ending September 1937, Canadian exports totalled 195,000,- 000 pounds as compared with 133,- 000,000 pounds in the previous 12- month period, and only 11,000.000 pounds In the calendar year 1931. The rapid progre.ss made by Canada towards filling Its quota of 280,000,- 000 pounds granted by the United Kingdom In 1932 Is quite apparent â- iiid every effort should be made to prevent any falllng-off In exports to this market. Shipments of western feeder cat- tle to Ontario reached an all-time record this year, with tihe total num- ber 75% greater than last fall. More than Ihe usual percentage of (liese wc-re of (lulte light weights Hud will not be ready for marketing until next summer off the grass, ami nuiti. a number will be carried over i second winter. The heavy Inflow (his season Is an indication of the abundant suipplles of coarse feed ivail.-ible. Short Courses for Girls Over 100 rural young women In six Ontario counties will receive four weeks' training next month under the Dominion-Provincial training project. Miss Bess McDer- mand, Superintendent of the Wo- men's Institute Branch, Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, stated re- cently. Courses are scheduled for seven counties In February and four- teen In March. Miss McDermand said. Women's organizations all over Ontario are mo3.t enthusiastic about th« courses and are lending hearty support she declared. The courses are planned so that the girls will be able to earn their own living in a rural environment. Four courses are available. They are catering for tourists; marketing of home baked foods; simple dress- making and remodelling and rug making. Dressmaking projects arc now under way at Warkworth and Wyebrldge and are proving most suc<(wsful, otflolals slate. Courses In January are scheduled for Newton Robinson In South Sim- coe; Owen Sound. Grey county; Kin- burn, Carleton county. Winchester, Dundas county. At all these places students will be taught how to cater for tourists. At Landsdowne and Harrlston, the girls will lake up simple dri-ssmaking and remodel- ling. During P'ebniary, courses are planned for the counties of Bruce, Glengarry, Prescott, Manltoulln, Kenora, Peterboro and Kent. March courses will be held In Huron, Welland, Northumberland, Victoria. Renfrew. Lanark, York, Wentworth, Kenora, Rainy River, Middlesex, Hastings, Durham, Len- nox and Addington. The course on catering for tour- ists will Include preparation of breakfast; refreshments and box lunches, table setting and serving; fundamentals of hospitality and etiquette; requirements and care of the guest bedroom; booth displays and simple advertising. The course In marketing of home baked foods will Include Instruction and prai'tlce In making rolls, pies, cakes, cookies, etc.; practice In judging baked products; organlza- ticM of a home market and problems in selling. Girls taking up the dressmaking course will be taught how to make women's and children's dresses and given information on dress designt and textiles. One of the most essential factors in the life of any small town, and partic- ularly those adjacent to large cities, is a hearty spirit of co-operation among the citizens, declares an ex- change. It is vitally important that home industries, merchants and busi- ness men receive local support if the town is to make progress. During recent years every commun- ity has become infested with repre- sentatives of large business firms, who canvass from door-to-door in an effort to draw trade away from the local merchants. When dealing with such individuals, it would be well for the citizens to keep certain outstand- ing facts in mind. 1. The merchants and business men who faithfully serve the commun- ity are among the largest tax payers, and without them, this town would sink into oblivion. 2. Local industries mean employ- ment for many of our citizens, who in turn are enabled to pay taxes, rent and other financial obligations. 3. Our business men and merch- nnts unlike their out-of-town competi- tors, are vitally interested in the maintenance of public services to all worthy local enterprises. 4 TTiey maintain established busi- ness locations in this town, and are eager and ready to offer you service â€" not merely for today, but throughout the year. Keeping these lacts constantly be- fore us, let us all give our ready sup- port to local tradesmen, merchants and business men in preference to out- of.town salesmen, that our town may continue to prosper and our citizens find ready employment at home. The man who never takes a day ofT isn't running his business; it is runn- ing him. mmmmmmm^'^^m^m^^^'^'^'^ ^ ^ u Season's Greetings TO ONE AND ALL from DUNN & LEVACK LIMITED Canada's Leading Livestock Salesmen Union Stock Yards - TORONTO, Canada V.

Care of Kami Woodlol Brings <i<MKl Kt^ulls Grazing by live stock and burning probably create more damage to the faiin woodlot than any other agen- cie.s, and, therefore, foresters re- commend fencing off tho woodlot from cattle and taking particular euro to see that fire does not burn over the woods. By following cer- tain slmpln rules, farmers can got ^dihI results nut of the care of the woodlot. These rules are: 1, Keep Ihe live stock out of t.he woods; 2, confine annual cutting to a deflnlti- .irea of the lot; :!. make no larg.' •P'nlnKs in the woods; 4. favour the ilirlftiiwt besl-formed crop trees; â- 1. remove some of the larger crop tr«v.s where crowding .exists; G, cut inrMlor trees for wood; and 7, pre- lect the woods against lire. The reason why live stock should ho kept out of the woodlot is that ihclr presence tends to have the lit- ler trampled under the trees and packs the soil HO that the water run- off and consequent erosion of soil are encouraged. Further, the ad- mission of IIvk stock to Ihe woodlot prevents the prop(>r grtiwth of th<' new crop of trees which comes up under normal conditions to replace the tree« that are harvested. The actual growth of the standing trees also is reduced through tho abnorm- al conditions thus set up. By ki'ep- Ing live stock out of the woodlol. normal conditions prevail and with proper thinning of the stands by (nilling the Inferior trees, the timber crop will bo Improved. It Is estimated that farm wood- lots, especially hardwoods, will pro- duce at least 50 per cent, more lum- ber If the lots are protected from fire and heavy piusturing avolde<l, the Increase In pro<luction being realized by the greater number of standing trees and by the less de- fect In tlu^ lumber that Is grown. Annther iwsentlal In the production of (ijt}, lumber cr<ip.s Is the employ- menf''of methods of cutting trees which favour continuous growth.
