Wednesday, January' 24, 1945 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE How Would You Have Sent the Draftees, Mr. Case? While General McNaughton was getting those 8,300 Draftees across the high seas . . . and had to remain silent . . . you were desk-thumping at your press conferences and accusing him of "Drawing a red herring across the reinforcement issue." You were calling Canada's great soldier, who built the Canadian Army Overseas "the newest and most discredited yes-man" in your ads. You, Mr. Case, were doing a lot of talking, while McNaughton was working â€" and had to stay on the job. Now, Mr. Case, isn't it about time to admit you don't know what it's all about? That you never built an army overseas, like McNaughton? Also the electors would like to know how YOU would have sent thoee Draftees, seeir>g you say "I'm still Opposed to Conscrip- tion," (Rocklyn, January 16). Co»n« on Mr. Case, how would you have sent those Draftees? Do tall us. If not, mov« over and give a soldier a chance. He knows how. CANADA NEEDS McNAUGHTON So Do Your Men Overseas - Published by the Authority of the North Grey Liberal Association. SS POSITION OF BEEF i'RODUCTION, 1945 In discuasing Canada's beef pro- gram for 1945, th« recent Dominion- Provincial Agricultural Conference estimated that beef marketings would probably reach a record of 1,420,000 head. And there is a market for all of it! Britain wants Canadian beef and early in 1944, signed a two-year con- tract for a maximum of 112 million pounds of beef in 1944, and 132 mill- ion pounds in 1945. But now there is no maximum, no limit, on the quantity Britain will accept. In 1944 alone Canada delivered approximately 140 million pounds. If Canada can deliver as much or more in 1945 Bri- tain will take it. This assured out- let is now extended to include the year 1946, In peacetime Canada's export mar- ket for surplus beef cattle was the United States but this market was ck«ed to Canadian producers in the latter paret of 1942 by the Dominion Government whicli is committed how- ever to remove the restrictions when the wartime food needs of Canada and Britain have been met. So for 1945, Canadian farmers need have no ooincern about manket- ing their surplus beef. Domestic and British demand will consume the 1,420,000 head â€" 8 'per cent more than in 1944 â€" which will be ready for market in 1945. Nevertheless, even a two-year con- tract for surplus beef does not war- rant further increase in cattle breed- ing for the years ahead. The con- ference specifically recommended that there be no further increase in beef herds.

No doubt you all know that enormous quantities of eggs were exported to Great Britain last year in powder form to con- serve shipping space. Now, the people of the British Isles would sooner have eggs in shell. Since this is our only available export market it is up to the producer and the shipper of eggs to give them the best possible product. Since it takes considerable time for transit, the duty of the producer is to use every means to keep the eggs clean and to market as freqfiiently as possible. Our duty is to put the eggs in the best possible containers to assure clean and ^ife arrival. £very egg has to be stamped by ud'witli the word "CANADA" in order that its sourie will be known. In this way a future market, 'and we hope a permanent one, will be established for a good product. ! : Till further notice the Creamery will be closed Saturday nights Fltsherton Creamery & Product Phone 66 Angus Avis, Manager Local and Persoia I Mr. Jack Beatty of Owen Soynd was in town on Saturday.

THE WAR IS NOT YET WON The war is not yet won; it is no black pessimism tO' say that, even a year hence we still may be fighting the Germans, with all that could mean in frighitful loss and terrible de- mand on all our resources. Yet, with that fearsome possibility before us, we are permitting ourselves to fell into foolish WTangling over peace aims and ideologies and doctrines, many of them alien to our way of thinking. It is a course of utter madness. Trying hard to impress people is about the hardest way to do it. MEN AND WOMEN Watkins Dealers are making more money today than ever before.
