A MEAN ACT This week a young lad in town found a ddllar bill on the street and upon mentioning his find to a young man, the lad was offered a quarter for his find, and not knowing the value of the found article took the silver piece and gave the young man the dollar bill. It was about one of the smallest human acts we have ever heard of. The young man is known and he will no doubt feel very small knowing that most of the pub- lic know of his act. ^S^*^^- You and Your Friends are invited to viait The Hydro Rural Display Coach SATURDAY, JULY 27 afternoon and evening In front of the Munshaw House FLESHERTON, Ont.

On July 1, 1940, supplies of pork in cold storage in Canada were 68,251,- 560 lbs. as compared with 33,673,361 lbs. on July 1, 1939. Of the amount in storage on July 1, 1940, however, 'ti.B07.000 lbs. were to the account of the Bacon Board, and being earmark- ed for export, were not a load on the â- lomestic market. Therefore, cold stor- ige supplies less the amount to the credit of the Board, were 45,684,560 Ihs., an amount only approximately 12,000,000 lbs."^more than at July 1st last year. In view of the fact that hog runs u'p showing substantial seasonal de- •lines, domestic consumption is reach- ing a high point of the year and the Bacon Board requires for export weekly 5,600,000 lbs, of bacon, a vol- ume approximately 80 per cent great- er than the average weekly exports a year ago, the actual load of product cm the domestic market is con.sequent- ly not excessive. In comparison with the stocks re- ported on June 1, 1940, there was a di'croa.se on July 1 representing a net out of storage movement of 6.7 mil- lion lbs., as compared with 3.4 million lbs. a year ago. The product to the account of the Board is being exported at an aver- aire of from 2,000,000 Ih.s. to 2,- 500,000 lbs. weekly, thus making up about forty per cent of the weekly exports of 5,600,000 lbs. of bacon. Continuing at that rate, this product should be cleared entirely by the end of August, and if hog runs continue to show the present decline, the clear- ance may be earlier. Since July 1, hog runs at yards and plants have decreased to a weekly averge in the month of June •t about 81.000 head. Thi.<t indicates a faverahle domestic situatloni at the season of peak con- sumpton of pork products. Phone 66 Angus Avis, Manager !

M P nu ii n I (Creemore Star) A glaring example of the weakness of our democratic form of govern- ment is now all too apparent at Camp Borden, what applies to Borden no doubt applies to airdromes and mili- tary camps all over Canada. The fact the Government is engaged in a gigan- tic building program and the cost of the buildings (according to usually reliable sources of information) is going to be more than double what it should cost or would cost if built by reputable contractors. True, the erection of the buildings is a hurry up job, but a Government which can conscript labor for the country's defense can also conscript labor for a building program. What exicuse has our Government for pay- ing 90 cents an hour for carpenters and 55 cents an hour for laborers when at least 90 per cent of the men employed would bo willing to work for half those waffo?? The situation is farther aggravated by the admissioTii« made by men working on the job. Very ordinary cirpentcrs have told the writer they know more than the foreman over thom. Mistakes are frequent. The result is, tear down and rebuild: material wasted. The whole setup is disgusting, and so much could be criticisor!, but space forbids. Thcr: )•, however, one angle to the situation that is proving serious to the agricultural community. Nearly every laborer for milea around has gone to work for the Government, and farrrers with a big hay crop and bountiful harvest ripening are handi- capped for help. The farmer's income has not increased, even under war conditions. Nevertheless, everythlnj^ he needs has advanced in price, and now the Government has set a scale of wagas with which the farmer cannot and will not try to compete. Even farmers' sons are leaving the farms to pick off the five to ten dollars a day wages that are being handed out at the military camp. The situation is t>ound to have wide repercussions. It will retard enlist- ment for military service. No young man receiving these extortionate wages is going to quit and enlist at $1.30 per day. The men now in the ranks are already peeved. Is it any wonder when, after a hard day's drill at $1.30 they compare notes with a young carpenter who has pftked 9 to 12 dollars? Furthermore, when the job is finished are these men going to be .satisfied to return to ordinary wages such as bhey were glad to get before this building program develop- ed ? The wage scale now in effect for carpenters is 90 cents per hour and for laborers 55 cents, with time and a half for overtime and double time on holidays and Sundays. Foremen get twenty dollars a day. training at CoUingwood hospital spent the week end at her home.
