M tchell: Citizen "Peorge Mitchell Dies," said an JAd vance headline last week, recording the passing of one of those sturdy, dominant men whose personalities fashioned our community during the past three-quarters of a century. The roll is an honorable one, and -for a person born before the turn of *he century, they include such names -as W. K. Flesher. M. K. Richardson, WTO. Strain, WTO. Clayton, W. A. Armstrong, Dr. W. S. Christoe, it. J. Sproule, W. J. Bellamy, Dan McTavish, Fred Karstedt and George Mitchell, just to mention a few. And it comes with a wrench to place George with the lengthening train who will not again walk our streets and discuss our local politics. These men gave leadership to the community in keeping with their varying talents and dispositions. And no one can recall the life of Flesher- ton during the past sixty-five years without giving a large place in his When The Smoke Cleared From Cologne: Final R.A.F.

RATION NEWS LIVE POULTRY SALES When the prices of dressed poultry to the public are at ceiling levels it is naturally expected that producers should receive approximately the ceil- ing prices for their live quality birds, according to F. S. Grisdale, deputy foods co-ordinator for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. He made the statement in answer to protests from poultry producers regarding prices they are receiving for poultry. Max- imum prices have been set for live birds and, according to Mr. Grisdale, "poultry producers in all parts of Canada should make themselves fully acquainted with these live poultry ceiling prices so that they may be better able to judge whether or not they are getting proper prices. Wholesale ceiling prices for live poul- !ry for November are as follows: for hickens (roasters and fryers) over three pounds 28 cents in Ontario: for fowl (old hens) n ll weights NEW CLOTHES FROM OLD How mothers may help in alleviat- And so, the Home scene gradually i ing the present temporary, but ser- home canning sugar; sugar numbers 1 to 20; tea-coffee 1 to 21; preserves Dl to D7; butter 34 to 37; meat pairs 22 to 26.

Hardly a week passes, that something does not appear in its columns which will be of financial benefit to you and by the end of the year you have made or saved from one to twenty times the subscription price. The city pa- pers do not take the place of your local paper, although some people seem to think they do. The city pa- pers are alright in their way, but they do not give you what you are most inter sted in, in your commun- ity.
