Poles are united in common cause â€" ^headline. This pubs out of date the old saying "as far apart as the polesi." Doctors bury their mistakes and lawyers' errors bring new trials and more business. A judge's misitake may become law, while nobody knows when a preacher gets off the beam. People live in architects' mis- takes and very rarely blame a traf- fic bottleneck on an engineers' er- ror. Even a contractor may cure a badly-figured bid -f he can get ex- tra medicine. But when the editor makes a mistake, that's when the shooting starts.

PROFIT ON BOOZE GOES If a grocer sold a pound of sugar at a profit of 100 per cent he would come into serious conflict with the Price Board, might possibly lose his license. If he made a profit of 200 per cent he would not only be guilty of gross profiteering, he might find himself in jail. If, in additioai, he sulbstituted an adulterant for 20 per cent of the sugar, h6 would fi-'d him- self faced with a list of charges sufficient to keep him in jail for a long time. But when govemmenits make a profit of at least 200 per cemt on liquors and "cut" the product by 20 per cent they are not only -within the law, but regard the whole thine: as a legitimate and worthy practice. â€" Calgary Herald.

If I Grey and Bruce Counties SELLING EGGS BY WEIGHT IS F.\IREST Food Industries Pledge $25,000 The Food Industries of Grey and Bruce Counties have pledged themselves to raise $25,000.00 in War Savings Certificates during the month of February, When you purchase from the stores mentioned below buy a War, Savings Stamp, place it in the folder and when you have sixteen change it for a War Savings Certificate.

H. W. Hickling O. & A, Co-Operative ^is advertifiemcDt is sponsored by K. G. Betts W. A. Hawken C. J. Kennedy McDonald's Bakery Members of the Northern Poultry .Association believe that the fairest way to sell eggs is by their weight â€" and the facts support their conten- tion. All eggs ar'3 not of simihir size and weiglit. Some flocks yield eggs of large size and other flocks eggs of smaller size. In selling by the dozen the vendor of large eggs gives materially greater value than the man who sells small egs. Yet the cash proceeds are the same. In buying, the fortunate pui'xihaser who gets laige eggs receives better value than the purchaser who receives small eggs. It is a case, always, of some- one getting too much or someone getting too little. As eggs are not of uniform size, and as it is not to be expecteii that poultry floclis ever will be so standardized that size uniform- ity will be the rule, it would seem that the only absolutely fair way would' be to sell eggs by weight. It is possiible that the long prevail- ing custom of selling eggs by the dozen is the result of the obvious convenience of such a method. It may take a little longer to weigh eggs, but once all concerned get ac- customed to it, the e.xtra time and trouble will not be so very great. One of the- principal benfits will be that the poultry man who takes pride in- keeping a flock that produces large eggs will feel that he is getting value and, what is more, encouragement. Grading of eggS', according to size and freshness has helped egg pro- ducers to a large extent, but it ap- pears tliat absolute fairness to both producer and customer justifies the request for sale by weight. â€" The St. Catharines standard. RBGAilDING ANIMALS WHICH HAVE STRAYED In police court at Walkerton re- cently, a man was charged with theft of a steer which had strayed to his premises. Magistrate Walker grant-' ed him suspended sentence and gave him, free, some sound advice. This advice might well be taken to heart by all of us. Whenever any animal strays onto a persons premises, Magistrate Wal- ker declared, fjie owner or occupant of such promises should do all in his power to discover the owner of the animal. Naturally enough. Magis- trate Walker mentioned among such efforts the u«e of the power of ad- vertising. A -notice in the paper is the surest, quickest way to di?'?over the c'vner. Failinj? to take such a cours'.' render'* the party to whose premis<>s an animal has strayed liable to a charge of theft if he unlawfully retains the animal. Magisti-ate Wal- ker made mention of the fact that the owner of the animal, when found, should be assessed for all costs in- curred to the date that the animal is reclaimed by its rightful owner. Magistrate Walker didn't say, but we imagine the same rule holds g^ood not only to strayed animals, but to articles we may find, on the streets or elsewhere. It's a sad fact, if you are a "flnder," but it seems that there's no truth in the old saying "finders keepers.' Of course, if you are a "loser," you'll be glad to learn that "losers weepers" is not a fair deal, in the eyes of the law. â€" Owen Sound Sun-Times. GREATEST HEALTH PROBLEM Terming venereal disease "the greatest single public health problem in Ontario," the Health Minister, Dr R. P. Viviauj disclosed last week that more than 50,000 cases of venereal disease have been reported to the de- partment since the onset of -war and that almost 70,000 have been report- ed in ttie hkst seven years, 1997 to 1S43, inclusive. In Sweden, Dr. Viv- ian reports, in 1938 the syphilitics numbered 14 i>erson8 per 100,000 of population. In Norway, between 1933 and 1939, 4 out of every 100,000 were affected'. And most shocking compar- ison is this: In Op'tario in 1943 there were 176 persons with syphilis per 100,000 of population. Producticm of ice cream in Canada during 1943 was 12.8 per cent great- er than during 1942, and 111.9 per cent greater than doiring 1938. R.A.F. Lay Waste to Hamburg Hamibiirir. Germany's largest port, second largest city, and the building centre of nearly one third of all it« U-boats has suffered the most shat- tering air attacks of tho war. An unparalleled weight of bombs, 2.300 tons one night, 2,300 tons thi-ee nights later and 2,.'^00 tons two nights after that, were dropped by the R.A. F. on industrial districts and the dock area. On the jaight of .\ugust 2-3 Hamburg was >gain attacked, adding to the already extensive de- vastation of seven square miles â€" caused' by the earlier R..\.F. attacks and daylight raids by the U.S.A.A.F. Picture taken before the R.A.F.'s heavy attack on the night of Aug^ ust 2-3 shows: The Blohm and Voss shipbuilding yatxls in the Steinwarder Waltershof area of Hamburg.
