War Savings Campaign Commences November 3 The War Savings campaign for the implements to successfully conduct the war is to be launched in Flesher- ton village and Artemesia Township on Monday, Nov. 3rd, with Mr. W. E. Betts of Flesherton as District Chairman. The call in this campaign has been changed and is in the form of a request for bombs, machine guns anti-taak guns, universal carriers, machine guns, etc. The Grey County committee has alloted the objective of local district as follows: Proton township i Blitz Buggy, Markdale 2 Machine Guns, Kimberley 2 Aerial Boimbs, Dundalk 2 Machine Guns, Flesherton 1 Machine Gun .Ceylon 2 aerial bombs. The campagn is now being organ- ized in this district and the canvass in Artemesia Township has been de- cided to follow the school sections, with the trustees of each section as the committee to conduct the can- vass, and secure other men to assist so that the whole township will be covered in the one week. Be ready when the canvasser calls on you and pledge yourself to loan your money for the conduct of the war. Don't iblind yourself to the great need of the present time and figure that the government can find the money without you giving yours. It is a false sense of security, be- c use if our country suffered defeat your money would be useless. Now is the time to save by loaning your mony for the successful prosecution of the war.

Glenelg Girl Dies Suddenly Dorothy Jean Picken, three-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Picken, of Glenelg township, diad very suddenly on Thursday afternoon under very tragic circumstances. Her parents had placed some poison on a quantity of cheese in order to get rid of some rats, and in some manner the little girl, not knowing of the poison ate some of the cheese. Very soon afterwards the girl stiffened out, and she was rushed to the office of Dr. D. B. Jamieson of Durham, where she was treated. Later in the afternoon as she was playing outside she suddenly passed ayay. Born on December 6. 1939. the lit- tle girl was not quite' three years old. Besides her sorrowing parents she is survived by three sisters. Shirley, Barbara and Margaret Rose. Now if Ontario really wanted to help in gasoline saving the Depart- ment of Highways might make the speed limit at forty miles per hour, instead of erecting signs telling that the army, navy and airforce need gasoline. But then, that would be another law to enforce and there seems to be a Igarthy of that now.

Mort grain has been shipped thr-"igh Mid- land, Port McNichol, Collingwood ant- Owen Sound than perhaps any other year in history. The reason a shortage of canal-sized boats. Great numbers of the boats which could pass down the St. Lawrenct through the canals have been pur- chased by the British and American governments ami pressed into ocean service, with the result that many boats which formerly carried grair from the head of the lakes to Mont- real are not available to the trade. Consequently the grain has beer shipped the shortest route which it through these ports of the Georgiar Bay. There ha? been much more grair shipped across the Atlantic this sum- mer than last, which accounts for tht big movements by C. P. R. freight through Flesherton from Owen Sound every day of the week, Sunday in- cluded. EUGENIA HYDRO DAM WORRIES EUPHR ASIANS The Thornbury Review-Herald re- ports a resolution passed by thi Euphrasia Township Council, deplor- ing the lack of guards at the Eugenia Hydro power dam, as destruction of the dam by sabotage would cause serious damage to the property oi residents in the Beaver Valley. At tile commencement of the war in 11*39, guards were placed at the dam. pipe line and power house, but thesi were .withdrawn in the spring of 1940, when it was decided that ni further serious condition existed.
