From the 434O trainees completing the first four-month training period under the National Resources Mobil- ization Act, some 1,600 have been assigned to defence duties on the At- lantic and Pacific coasts. Approxi- mately 800 more are being retained to fill administrative vacancies in training centres and to complete Home War Establishments. Of the remainder many have enlisted in the active forces of Army, Navy or Air Force, a privilege accorded during their training period. Others have received postponement of service where it has been considered in the best interest that they return to their civilian occupation, or on com- passionate grounds.

Scotland. known aa the Canadian Active Army on Home Defence, will hove the same status as other members of the Active Army, except that they can- not be called on for duty outside of Canada or its territorial wtaters. After two months' service these soldiers will be eligible for two weeks' furlough, the same as applies "It's an ill wind that Wows nobody | good!" This old saying has come | down throutrh the years, and it was never any more true than at this time, judging from the crop of rape seed Chat Mr. J. F. Collinaon of Cey- lon harvested last week. Mr. Win. Holley of Dornoch was hired with his combine and cut and threshed the crop and bagged it ready to be car- ried away. Mr. Collinson had 45 bags of seed from 11 acres of rape. This is about the first large crop of this seed to be harvested in Grey ' County. There was a considerable j aanount of green seed m the bags and I Mr. Collinson was forced U> empty j the bags on a cement floor and turn j the seed twice a day to keep from heating.

Durham rapers Join The Durham Review ceased oubli- cati>n with the issue of July 31st, after 62 years of publishing in that town. The business and plant was purchased by Mr. J. F. Irwm, exiiwi and proprietor of The Chronicle, and thus makes another t^wn where only one paper will operate, hitherto cov- ered by two. The Re^new has always been a bright newsy paper and its arrival each week will be m;ssii The change should be for the better and will nu>re adequately allow The Chronicle to cover its field. The Review was started February 1. 1878. by the late Jos. Townsend, who brought the plant from the old Dundalk Guide to Durham and was called The Grey Review. The late editor of The Advance Mr. "W. H. Thurston. was with Mr. Townsend at the time and remained in Durham tor a year. The late Chas. Ramage. father of Mr. Peter Ramage. editor at the the time of amalgamation, purchased The Grey Review in 1894 from the late Chas. McArthur. and it ha? been in the Ramage family since that time. Mr. Ramage will continue his work with the Division L\-urt and his insurance business, but as he states in his valedictory will "miss the thrills and chills of news- pa-per work." JUST ONE OF MANY This business of saving gaswline is already getting some people down. Many city business men who have betn in the habit of driving their cars a few bl-ocks to get the mail are scratching their heads. for pedest- rians are making a mental check-up. For instance, a Goderich man debated with himself whether or not he would use his car to get the morning mail. He weakened, rode the three bk-cks to the port office and uncon- sciously walked back. At the dinner hour he couldn't find his car. It was at the post office. BROKE HIS LEG {The men who operate the gas pumps and who knock off at 7 in the evening have a new idea of what freedom really means. Mr. John McKee of the Fourth Lin suffered a broken leg fast week while working on his farm, when his le^ went through a space on the hay rack, causing him to lose his bal- ance and fall. His son, Kenneth, of Toronto is assisting during his holi- dteys. It was an unfortunate break at this busy season. Municipal auditors before they are ! allowed to act next January will j have to secure a license from the i Department of Municipal Affainss I To rente. . In Canada thea-e are 2.500,000 workers who will be issued under th* Unemployment Insurance scheme, and perhaps that includes the chap who is not rery particular whether he wx>rks or not
