Throughout the fight the crew of the "Dianthus'' blazed away with every gun, rifle and revolver they could muster. Finally, at the fourth ramming, the bow of the U- boat reared up and crashed on the corvette's deck, following which It sank. A number of Germans were picked up. On arrival at its base, the corvette's crew were congratulated by Admiral Sir Percy NoLle, Comman- der-in-hief of Britain's Western Approaches, on fighting a great ac- tion.

Many more individual sub- scriptions should have been given, but as a canvass was not made many did not bother to aid in the relieving of distress among the dependents of our protectors on the Russian front. The sum of $148 has been sent to the head office at Toronto, and official receipts for those who gave five doll- ars and upwards will be mailed in due time. Following are the names of those who donated to the Fund ss the list is now closed: Previously acknowledged |36.00 j Mr. and Mrs. W. E.

We Farmer Under Ceiling Rules Selling Produce What price can the farmer or prim- ary producer charge when he is sell- ing direct to the consumer? This Is a question frequently submitted to the Prices and Trade Board by both producer and consumer, states W. Haroll McPhillips, Prices anl Supply Representative, Western Ontario Re- sion, Wartime Prices and Trade Soarl. Direct sales by farmers to consum- r< are. of course, retail sales and, .herefore, must conform with Boara requirements. The first general rule is that these retail prices must be reasonable and just," Mr. McPhillips aid. In other words, they must not ')e out of line with prices being carg- od by other retailers for the same quality of product in that particular trailing area. In this connection however, it should be noted (and this is irrtportart) that prices must be no higher than any specific or maximum price fixed under the regulations or by an order of the Board, or by an administrator, unless primary pro* ducers are specifically exempted. An example of a set "specific or maximum price" can be found in ; eggs. Board Order No. 212 sets the maximum -etail prce at which graded eggs may be sold, and retail prices must not exceed prices set in this Order. Othtr commodities on which, the Board has set maximum retail j prices on direct sales from primary , producers to consumer, include beef, l lamb, poultry, potatoes and cream. In the case of products where no prices have been set. primary produc- j ers must observe the same maximum | retail prices established by any re- tailer for those products during the basic period in that trading area, and their basic period price. Anyone may secure a copy of any Board Order of Regulation by apply- ing to the nearest Wartime Price? and Trade Board office. Offices in this part of Western Ontario are lo- cated at Kitchener.

Mr. Fred Kenny, who until about a year ago farmed in the Heathcotc district, is manager of the P. F. Law farm at Weston, was up here Tues- day to take hack the Grand champion winner at Owen Sound Fall Fair and other exhibitions. The local distinc- tion for this senior yearling heifer comes *rom the intimation that the sale price of $500.00 is reputed to be the highest ever paid for a heifer SKATING FLESHERTON ARENA TUESDAY Roads Filled Again Another storm struck this district Sunday night and all day Monday a regular blizzard raged, filling the highways and roads with drifts of snow. The C.P.R. morning train from I Toronto arrived at Flesherton at 12.15 ' a.m. on Tuesday, due to three cars I a freight having left the rails. The ! night trains from Owen Sound and j Toronto were cancelled. N'o. 10 High- 1 ivay was opened Tuesday afternoon and the plow had reached Priceville Tuesday evening on No. 4 Highway. The road from Flesherton to Price- ville is piled high with snow, espec- ially at a point west of Ceylon in front of Wm. Gibson's farm. The mail? have not come in this week from Kimberley and Feversham and our supply of news from rural parts is scanty this week. In fact Ceylon news came through the mail, but th Priceville budget was given over the elephone. In coming from Toronto Sunxiay night Geo. Boyd and compan- ions became lodged in a snow bank near Victoria Corners and spent the remainder of the night ir. the ear. They had breakfast and dinner at the home of Russell Linton's, but as there was no train on the railway, they walked the five miles to town, arriving at four o'clock. We noticed Monday evening that Jim Dargavel came into town from the suburbs on snowshoes. You can't keep Jim away from a curling game. The streets in town are piled high with snow and if a few more storms come it will be difficult, to find a place to park the snow until the sun can pet in its softening eff<?cts. St. John's Church Annual Meeting The annual meeting of St John's United Church was heM on Friday evening, January 29. The meeting commenced with a supper shared by those attending, each having brought their own. Compared with last year the nv.-utinjr was well attended even though another gathering kept some away. All reports received were en- couraging. The Session report show. ed that the resident membership de- iTeasfd by four during the year. The total number of members is now 267. During the year five were removed by death and 17 were transferred. Five who have become inactive JT whos address is not known were drop- ped. The Clerk of Session drew the attention of the meeting to the fact that the average attendance at Com- munion during the past year was lest than 50 per cent, of the resident membership. It was suggested that members who become indifferent should be dropped from the roll. The Treasurer's report was the beat for some years. The total amount given directly to the regular work through envelope, loose collection and donation exceeded that of last year by o\vr $200.00. The loose offerings were $40.00 more and the donations more than double. The balance for the year was $61.00. The Missionary and Maintenance report was also very en- couraging. The total receipts for the Charge, including Ceylon, were $390.- W. This is the largest amount con- tributed to this fund for some year*. Of this amount $2!>2.00 was given through the regular envelope by this congregation. That is an increase of $20.00 over last year and $50.00 more than two years ago. During the year congregation also contributed 5213.00 to the Deficit f the United Church of Canada. The Woman's Association had an exceptionally goo4.year. Their mem- ; T< deserve great praise for the way in which they do their work. Their total receipts were $44^.55 which does not include their expense in rais- ing this amount. Two of their larger expenditure? were incurred by putt- in ir a 11, \v c:irpet on the pulpit plat- form and :> new linoleum on the choir loft, and in painting the parsonage.

The Newspaper Problem "Newsprint, the bread and butter of this and every other newspaper, has been added to those commodities be- ing rationed under the War Time Prices Board. This edict pegs the quantity of newsprint which a pub- lisher may acquire at the average consumption of a six months period in 1!M2. In fact, the quota may be reduced after the board has studied the individual paid circulation figures for potential economies. "Mark well that phase potential economies.
