Wednesday, March 3, 1943 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE If we all cut our telephone talks one Minute Visit At Canadian Army Headquarters Another in a series of articles written by W. R. Legge and C. V. Charters, who represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association in a recent tour War calls must come first . . . which means that we should reduce our non- essential use of the telephone to the minimum. Present facilities cannot be increased; your co- operation is needed if war calls are to go through promptly. C Please remember that the wasteful use of telephone time can hold up war business and that every second you save counts. MILK BOTTLE BREAKS BUT MILK SAVED This happened in Creemore the week end it was 35 below zero. A bottle of milk had been left outside at the Johnston home. Jake went out to bring in the milk and found the bottle had burst with the frost, leav- ing the hard frozen milk standing firm. An examination showed the break had been a clean one. Accord- ingly the frozen milk was placed in another container and eventually used as if nothing had occurred. Creemore Star. The day is almost past when a man can be accused of hiding behind a woman's skirts. A Farmer's War Time Job In this war a tremendous responsibility rests on farmers. Like all other Canadians, they are- faced with extra burdens and difficulties, but their responsibilities can be simply and clearly stated. 1. PKODUCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 2. REDUCE FARM DEBTS. 3. SAVE AND LEND TO CANADA. Fighters must be fed. Men and women employed in munitions factories, on rail- roads in merchant shipping, in mines and mills, in lumber camps, must be well nour- ished for their strenuous work, and many allied nations in the front line of battle look to Canada for food. The job is a big one but not impossible. Everyone realizes the vital importance of food as a weapon of war. In the "Battle of Food" the farmers of Canada are serving, and serv- ing magnificently. Increased incomes should enable most far- mers to save money. Increased incomes should enable most farmers to put their farms on a sound financial basis. Each farmer's individual circumstances will determine what should be done, but when a plan of debt reduction has been laid down, the one sure way to carry it out is to see that a portion of all money received is put aside . . . earmarked for this purpose. If a farmer has made provision for any current debts that he may have, and has money left over, he should buy all the Victory Bonda and War Savings Certificates he can. If a farmer is saving up to pay a debt which comes due in the future, he will find that Victory Bonds provide the safest way to keep his savings intact until he needs them, and in the meantime put his money to work for him at 3% double bank interest. . Farmers Should Buy- Victory Bon overseas. By Walter R. Legge After meeting the men who control the destinies of Canada's overseas forces, one becomes convinced that each is the perfect man for his par- ticular job, and there begins to be a feeling of admiration for the judg- ment of the powers that selected them. This seems to be particularly true of the Senior Officer at Canadian Military Headquarters, Major Gener- al the Hon. P. J. Montague, C.M.G., D.S.O., M.C., V.D., who was made a Companion of the Honorable Order of the Bath in the New Year's honor list. We met him soon after our arrival in England, and he became extremely popular with the two weekly editors, when he remarked that once he used to pye type for Bill Fry in the Dunn- ville Chronicle office. He went on to say that he was glad to welcome the weekly newspaper representatives be- cause he still swears by and not at weekly newspapers. Without them, he declared, there would be no histor- ical records, and they represent the real power the men from the farms. He regretted the loss of the files of the Monck County Reform Press and the Grand River Sachem. In his talk with' the editors, Gen- eral Montague emphasized that there was not an ounce of politics in the Canadian Overseas Forces. He also praised the hospitals in this war. Major Geeral the Hon. P. J. Mont- ague was born at Dunnville, Ont., on Nov. 10th, 1882, and is a descendant through his mother of some of the earliest United Empire Loyalists in the Niagara District. Educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto Uni- versity, and Osgoode Hall Lav School, he embraced a combined legal and military career, and was com missioned a Lieutenant in the 4th Field Battery, R.C.A., at Hamilton in 1905. Moving to Winnipeg, which he now calls his home town, he transferred to the 18t!i Mounted Rifles, and when the first world war broke out he was a Lieutenant in the Fort Garry Horse. His combined legal and mili- tary training made him a valuable officer. He had a distinguished re- cord in the last war, and was decor- ated three times and was five- times mentioned in despatches. After the last war, re re-organized the Fort Garry Horse, and is now its Honorary Colonel. Equally outstanding was his rise in the legal profession. In l'J32 he was appointed to the Court of King's Bench for Manitoba. At the outbreak of the present war he took the Headquarters personnel overseas in 1!>39 and is now Senior Officer at C.MjH.Q., and Judge Ad- vocate General. In this position he is the highest legal authority, both for the R.C.A.F. and the Canadian Army Overseas. The bomb-scarred building in which Canadian Military Headquarters is housed is usually referred to as "Fort Montague." Not only Dunnville and Winnipeg, but all Canada should be proud 1 him. "Fort Montague" or C.M.H.Q. sit- uated close to Canada House, wa s a place that the editors frequently vis- ited. On the outside here is little to suggest that it is a military build- ing. The entrance is protected by heavy brick buttresses, and in the doorway stands a sentry. Inside all is hustle and bustle. Just msidf the entrance, to the right is the Pul.lic Relations Office, in charge "f Jovial Major Wm. Aibels. Major Abds was a Canadian advertising executive, who went to England some years ago to popularize n well known brand of soup, previously unknown in Rngan.l. H ow wt .|i hc aucccede(| is a story in itself. The staff is mado up () f a grand t> nch of mon, including Capt. GibL Lieut. Wm. Austin and Lieut. A. M' Stirton. Lieut. Austin travelled with us, and looked after us in a most efficient way during most of the six weeks we were overseas. We fre fluently referred to him as our keeper," and grew to have a very high regard for him. It must have been a trying ordeal to look after twelve editors with twelve different temperament, for six ^^ bu{ never let anything ruffle his seronp ?0 od nature. Limit. Stipton, who comes from Calp-nry, was our photographer, and both as a photographer and travell- ing companion he wag "tops." On our first visit to C.M.H.Q., we were taken deep into the basement, where our photographs were taken individually for our various passes. Probably the most insignificant look- ing pass we had was the one issued by the British Ministry of Informa- tion. This bore our photograph and a number of signatures. That pass, we soon found out, would work won- ders, and take up any place. On one occasion, I was visiting some rela- tives in a restricted area, and un- knowingly tried to return on a day when only those holding a priority card could travel. That little pass not only allowed me on the train, but got me a board ahead of anyone else. The R.C.A.F. has its own Public Re- lations Office in the R.C.A.F. Head- quarters in another part of London, and here are Squardron Learders R. Mat-limes and Roger Invin, and P.O. Clare, the last named being a travel- ling companion of ours for about three weeks. C.M.H.Q. docs not now show many signs of air raids, but on at least one day during the blitz, General Mont- ague's desk was covered with jag- ged bits of masonry blown there by bombs which landed in the neighbor- hood. On one side of "Fort Mont- ague" now stands a temporary one storey building erected on the site of a large building which was demolish- ed. Another bomb landed just acros s the street. Today the bomb scars in the vicinity are more or less removed even if repairs and replacements are not complete. British A.I .S.
