Wednesacly, July 14, 1943 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Cream, Eggs and Poultry OUR RECORDS SHOW THAT MORE CREAM IS BEING DELIVERED BY CREAM PATRONS EACH WEEK. WE BELIEVE THIS INCREASE IN DE- LIVERED CREAM AND PRODUCE IS DUE TO THE EFFORTS OF THE PRODUCERS, REALIZING THE NEED OF CONSERVING GASOLINE AND TIRES BY DELIVERING THEIR PRODUCE, AND ALSO BENEFIT BY THE PREMIUM PAID OVER TRUCK CREAM PRICES. Flesherton Creamer, & Produce Limited Phone 66 Angus Avis, Manager THE BOMBER PRESS IN GREAT BRITAIN THE RETURN HOME (By Walter Legrge) After many false reports of dates of departure for Canada, we were finally given fairly definite word that we would start home on Friday, Oct. 2. We had returned from the \Wt part of Enpland th? previous Stindny, and had spent the intervening days ir London, and preparations for the Journey. These preparations includ- ed having our notts officially sealed ?o that we would have no trouble ir taking them through the ports of embarkation and arrival. On that Thursday, I paid a final vi.-it to St. Paul's Cathedral and gazed on the expanse of ruins which si.rrounds this shrine. In the afternoon, I went to see "The Belle of New York" at the Col- iseum Theatre, one of the mrmt beautiful theatres I have even ppe Walking back to the Strand Palace I!"'' 1. where we stayed the last few days in London, found the Strand crowded with people, the first time I had seen any streets really crowded ii> England. A fruit store near the hotel, I i.oted, was selling 1 peaches for eight shillings each, and grapes for 16 .hillings a pound. (24 cents to the shilling). - Friday morning we started on a trip, during which we were destined to use many forms of transportation. First an automobile took us to the r.t.uiun. Then we travelled on a .c-ain, the m^st luxurious one we had sn'n in England, to a port of embar- kaliuii. At the railway station, a liiis was waiting for us in which wt went to the Airways office. Here our bairjraKe was weighed, our tickets an<| passports checked, and a light lunch served, after which we got into a launch which took out to a British Overseas Airways flying boat. When we finally took off this flying boat was carrying sixty- nine passengers, all their baggage and the crew of eleven. A few hours .later, this huge arti- ficial bird, with its heavy load, caone down at a transfer point, settling so gently that few of us knew just when we touched the water. This place was in Eire and again our passports were checked. We were only there long enough to send off a few post cards. Then once more we got into < launch which took us to a Sikorsky American Export Ace. It took in all the members of the Bomlber Press and a few other passengers. The return journey was consider- ably slower, but very much more comfortable than the trip over in a bonvber. The hostess, Miss Dorothy Buchanan, looking very smart in her attracive uniform, started passing around Am-eriean cigarettes (you can smoke cigarettes but not cigars or a pipe in an Ace, but smoking was forbidden in the bomber), chewing gum, and the latest American mag- azines. Later a hot dinner was served, and soon after the hostess anj steward started making up the berths which were very much like those in a Pullman. Early the next, morning the flying boat ceme down in Canadian waters. There was a strong wind and very rough water, so that the launch took off our party with some difficulty. Before we left the transfer point th previous evening, we -vratched a Pan-American Clipper take off. We arrived in Canadian waters in time tc see the same Clipper come down beside us. For a trip of about two thousand miles over the Atlantiu, the two rival planes were only a few minutes apart. After passing our baggage through customs, we took taxis to the railway station for the last leg of our jour- ney to our homes. The first thing most of us bought were some oranges which we had not seen for nearly seven weeks. In a few hours we had again been transported across the ocean from one continent to another, and what .1 contrast we found. If Canada was not the Promised Land, it was least flowing with milk, sugar, butter '-sgs, matches, soap, and nearly everything we had learned to do without. And the lights! How strange tr see lights at every little hamlet and (own the train passed through! Prob- ably the most depressing thing In Britain is the blackout; here were brilliant lights in the train and in all the towns. They made the war seem so very far away, almost as if this country were not in it. And .these were not the only things that Now you can be sure your family gets good nutrition. Follow the 63 varied menus in this Free booklet. Here's the book you have been waiting for ... the practical way to good nutrition. No need to be a student of dietetics! You imply follow the menus planned for you, confident that you are serving meals as healthful as they are appealing. This is an important part of your war effort! For proper food is vital to health, and therefor to all-out production. Yet Government surveys show that 60 per cent of Canadians fall short of good nu- trition, even though seemingly well-fed. So learn the way to meals that are as healthful as they are ap- petizing! Send for your copy of "Eat-to-Work- to-Win"* now! THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) In the iacereia of nutrition and health af an aid to Victor*. gave an impression almost of un- concern about the war. The stores were well-stocked and crowded with buyers. Everywhere we missed that feeling of intense determination. We found that Canadians were greatly interested in everything over there. We all spent a very busy time answering questions, giving talks, writing articles, and generally trying to bring home the picture of things as we found them. If we have been able to show par- ents that their sants and daughters overseas are well taken care of, that they are active and enthusiastic; if we have inspired workers to greater efforts; if we have made others anxious to practice self-denial as an aid to victory; if we hare helped to re-assure Canadians as to the fight- ing fitness of their forces; if we have created a greater desire to buy more Victory Bonds to provide the needed sinews of wax, the work of the Bomber Press will have been well worth while. Just a few closing words of thanks to all the officers and officials who helped to make our travels so agree- able, and who spared no effort to meet our slightest wish to see any special activity; also to the editors and readers who have written ex- pressing their appreciation of the effort to tell them what Is going on in Britain. An^ m w leave our Canadians and others in Britain, with a feeling of confidence that when the time comes, they will acquit themselves with glory. As General McNaughton told us at our last conference with him, "They are holding the outposts in the defence of Canada." An eminent London doctor says that memory is best between the ages of 11 and 14. So that's why most of them pass their entrance examin- ations. VOTE AN OPEN LETTER To the Electors of South Grey LADIES AND GENTLEMEN : Unanimously chosen as Liberal candidate for South Grey at an open convention in Durham, July Xth, I a^ain conic to you for endorsation at the polls on August 4th, after seventeen years' service on your behalf. During those years I have tried to serve you faith fully and in the Legislature have advocated various reforms, many of which have been put into effect. Some of these have been of partic- ular benefit to the fanner and laboring man: C'ticaniT rural livdro, and hydro extension, sub- sidies to producer^, free medical care for old ajjc pensioners and other social reforms, including collective " If elected, 1 will continue to support any Icg- isl.'ttion which, in niv estimation, would benefit the majority, and which would insure continued progress through the post-war period. F - R - OLiVM I am stryngly in favor of hydro power being made available to every farm home and at cheaper rates than nuvv prevail. 1 will continue to suggest and support social legislation which would give citi/.ens at large a greater sense of security, whether they be farmers, labor- ing men or engaged in other occupations. Therefore f am asking for a renewal of your confidence as a supporter of Premier Harry Nixon and his administration, which has so much progressive legislation to its credit. Premier Xixon has asked that I accept a heav* program of speaking engagements throughout the province, consequently 1 will he unable to spend as much time in my own constituency as I would like during the election cam- paign. Please do not interpret this as lack of interest for von. my constitu- ents. Though T may not be able to meet many of you personally, I would doubly appreciate your support, nevertheless. Your support at the polls Wednesday, Aug. 4th. on my p;ist record, will he furl her evidence of \mr faith in my efforts. - Pi-ire v'ill,-. Tlllv 12, F. R.
