In the boy's di- vision several matters of importance were considered. A rwine club was formed in co-operation with Proton Agricultural Society. The boys plan to study and work out the latest de- velopments in this important branch of farm work. It is planned to conduct another home beautification contest, such as was held last summer. The commit- tee in charge of this project i« John LK)ugheed, Cliflford Allen and Grace Cole.

Elgin Mc- Cutcheon gave a report of the meet- ine held in Flesherton last Saturda'" and of the progress toeing made in working it out. The club paper, Wareham Spot- light, was read by Anne Fisher and Robert Thompson. Shall I Vote for KINGorMANION? There is only one decision to be made by the Canadian people on March 26th ♦ . . It is this: Shall our country's war effort be handed over to unknown, unnamed politicians . ♦ . to a make- shift cabinet with Dr. Manion as the self-appointed leader? Or ... Shall our country's war effort be continued vigorously and faithfully by the known and proven administration of Mackenzie King? That is the question YOU must answer. Up a Blind Alley?-or-Out in tlie Open! Mackenzie King offers you somethinij; entirely in the open . . . the most truly National government Canada has ever known. His parliamentary followers represent the people of every province in Canada â€" every section of our countryâ€" every economic, social and racial group. There is not an area of this country... not a single classification of our people . . .without proper repre- sentation in the Mackenzie King following. Mackenzie King's cabinet ministers are well known to you. They are broadly experienced men, eager and able to continue the sort of admin- istration which brought progress to Canada in times of peace and national pride to Canadians since the outbreak off war. The Mackenzie King administration is answerable to the people of Canada â€"to no one else. It is time for plain speaking. Dr. Manion's pretence of offering "national" government is sheer polit- ical deceit. Because : even if he were elected to office, Dr. Manion could not organize or lead a truly national gov- ernment. The parliamentary group which mtight follow him would fail to represent all Canada. It would not represent the people of the national Liberal party. It would not represent the people of the C.C.F. party. It would not represent the people of the historic Conservative party which Dr. Manion has now scuttled. Do not be deceived I Dr. Manion cannot give you National Government. The best he might give you would be government by unknown followers. He invites you to follow him up a blind alleyâ€" to vote for a government of hi* own imaginationâ€" answerable to some undisclosed political group. The Responsibility is Now Yours Canada is feeing the greatest crisis in her history. It is YOUR responsibility to say how she is to deal with this crisis. Therefore: when you go to the polls on March 26th you should consider only what is best for Canadaâ€" what is best for the Empire and our allies â€"what it the sure, direct road to Victory and Peace. FORWARD WITH MACKENZIE KING The National Uberal F^eratlon of Csnad*. Ottaws. OntarlOk 60 Years of Service More than 6,700 Biell Telephone directories were dropped in the mail last week aa the latest issue for Owen Sound, Flesherton and vicinity left the presses. Of these books, nearly 200 were delivet-ed to subscrib- ers here. This year the company is celebrat- ing the 60th anniversary of its incor- poration. To commemorate this event the cover of the new directory bears the familiar Blue Bell and the slogan "Sixty Years of Public Service." In 1880, there were only 13 Bell Telephone exchanges and about 2,100 subscribers. The directory list for any one of these exchano-es could have been printed on a single sheet â€" and most of them were. In fact, the only Bell Telephone directory known to have been published in book form in 1880 was that for Quebec City. It was a slim ^'olume containing several pages of listings in large type. Today, there are 34 separate direct- ories, several of which are published more than once a ''ear. They contain listings for over 785,400 telephones in 412 exchanges scattered throughout Ontario and Quehec. In the old days, too, blank pages were inserted in the directories for the inclusion of new names and num- bers, which were published in the neiwspapevs. This method is no long- er practicable; consequently, each new directory lists thousands of new and changed numbers. Therefore, to avoid wrong numbers, it is important to desti-oy the old dir- octory and carefully consult the new one before placing calls. Corrections should also be made to desk lists and memo pads containing numbers called most frequently. i n ii HUH i m i n iii m iiiiiiii m ii n i m i m i u tt SUPPLY and DEMAND THE DEMAND FOR OUR CREAMERY BUTTER HAS INCREASED TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE* TO FILL THE ORDERS OF YEAR-ROUND BUTTER CUSTOMERS This is why you are assured of Highest Possible Mar- ket Prides for your cream y/htn you are seDing to us.

Two Russian bears escaped from their trainer in Wilkesbarre, Pa., and inveded the shopping ristrict. There was panic for some time as there was no Finn handy who knew how to tame them. Everybody wants to travel in lux- urp nowdays. Modem cars are equip- ped with heaters, radios, etc., and are so nice that aveiy4x>dy who can wants to ride in heated car. For instance a motorist] stopped to pick up two "iirlB hitchhikings on one of our highways. He stopped the car, opened the door and invrted'tfaom to hop in. "Is your car heated'" one of damsels inquired. "N > it is not," re- plied the driver. Have you a hadio?" "No," he again replied "Well, drive on, we'll wait for the next' car," re- plied one of the hitchhickers.
