WEDNESDAY. .VL'i'.L'ST 14. 1940 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietor*. Santa's Tickets Drawn Some person played a practical joke by placing a ticlcet, issued by the Flesherton business men for every 25 cent purchase, into one o:5 the boxes \ritb the name of "Santa Claus" written as the name of the purchaser. This was found out when that ticket was drawn at the bi-weekly drawing last Wednesday night. It created quite a laugh for the large crowd pj-esent that night There must have been a story behind that act of some person who had written their name to so many tickets without result that they grew desperate and made e mistake in the season of the year. It shows that your time may arrive sooner than you expect, as the signer of that ticket had the name drawn fit last but without result. Better luck next time, "Santa Claus." Hats Off To Veterans The hats of Canadians evrywL«re should be off to-day to those veterans, 22 years after they laid down their uniforms in the last great war â€" tt« interference which fomes in civil life oiice the khaki is put on. But throughout the Dominion there has been an immediate caU for the men who helped defeat Germany before to come to the aid of Canada again. Those who have enlisted know what lies ahead of them. They know that after a few months they will be back in civil life again, once more with the problem of re-establishing them- selves as civilians and as wa^e earners, in the competitive and indus- trial merchantile field. There was no threat of conscription harering over their heads. It was purely voluntai-y otfer of service. Yet these veterans, from one end of Canada to' the other, have come forward in thousands with their offer to serve, Mr. and Mrs. George Fisher of j and to help finish the job they had Ceylon wish to announce the engage- I thought finished 22 years ago.

Gospel Workers' Church Feversham, Ont. Rev. C. McNichol, Pastor We have a proverb have we not, in almost every language, th-at it is the unexpected thing that happens. How often sorrows and joys take us unexpectedly. How often the things we never looked for arrive, and th^e things we have looked for never happen. During the past ten years we have seen incredible things happen. First there was the rise of Hitler and the resurgence of German barbarism. The clock of civilization was set bask five hundred years in Europe. Con- ditions on that continent to-day re- mind us of the Mediaeval Age», Hitler's reputation of the treaty of Versaill.?s, the invasion of the Rhine- land, the annexation of Austria, the seizure of Czecho-Slovakia, the de- struction of Poland, the invasion of Markdale Band Plajed Foresters Off To Camp The Second Battalion of the Grey and Simcoe Foresters left for camp on Monday morning, taking a special C.P.R. train at eight o'clock.

Faced with an acute shortage of farm labor, the Ontario Government is en- listing the co-operation of local sc'nool boards in keeping primary schools closed until September 16th, and sec- ondary schools until October 2nd. "This will make available to she farmers of Ontario a vast reservoir of farm hedp." Mr. Hepburn said. "Not only will it permit farmers to keep t'ne assistance of their own children during the period when they would normally be at school, but it will also make available for farm work a great number of city children.
