Child Had Narrow Escape From Serious Injury Falling 30 feet without injury was the unique experience of little Joyce Sensabaugh, 3-year-old daughter of Mrs. Chas. Sensabaugh of town. The little g^irl was playing on the veran- dah at the rear of the apartment over the Bank of Commerce, when fell a distance of about 30 feet to the ground. Spread around where she fell were several large boulders, a board and an iron grating which was lying at an angle with the shai-p edge upturned. There was a clear space of some two feet squai-e into which the I'ttle girl miraculously landed, minus any broken bones or laceratinos, although she did have a large bruise on her head, when it likely struck the ground. It is tragic to think of what might have occurred if Joyce had' fallen a few inches either way.

The first plan was under taken "primarily to assure an e<iuit- able distribution of supplies." The becond plan is being initiated "pri- marily to reduce domestic consump- tion in order to feed the hungry of Europe." That Europe is hungry is evidenced by statistics made available to Board representatives. Referring to France, it was stated that the meat shortage is now worse than at any time in cities. In 1939 the per capita eon- sumption was 96 pounds per person, in 1944-45 it was 17 pounds. The ration at pi-esent is one-tenth of » is arriving at Halifax on the S.S.

When our political affiliations attach us solidly to one political party we like to think that the funds of all other political parties are secured by corrupt means. It is a silly idea, of course, but it is now a habit with us and we like to keep on playing the game. In this age of stern realities and disillusionment, political parties should be obliged to reveal the source of the funds with which they conduct elections. Every adult per- son knows, or should know by this time that the political expenses in connection with an election author- ized by the Government are only a part of the legitimate costs. A very large sum of money has to be raised by other means. Firms, corporations, individuals and orga-^-^'ations of all kinds make contributions. Some firms and corporations make equal sized grants to two political parties. It isn't right, of course. All the legitimate expenses should be sanc- tioned by the Government and paid out of the public treasury. However, we have not progressed that far and until we do, political parties, politi- cians and their followers will pro- bably continue to impute corruption and evil-doing to their opponents and set themselves up as Simon pure and above reproach. The amusing thing is that while these whispering campaigns go on, no one party dares to challange any other party to reveal the source of their political funds. If this informa- tion were revealed it would make most interesting reading and it wonlrl be decidedly enlightening. It would be extremely beneficial, too, for then we would ail vote more in- time?"

Meat brings §10 a pound on the black markets. Under Nazi occupa- tion, France lost two million head of cattle, and the consumption of meat has dropped from pre-war levels, as follows : beef and mutton from 117,- •jOO tons to 5,000 tons; pork from 45,0(W to 16,000 tons; flsh from 51,000 to 21,000 tons; poultry from 32,000 to less than 2,000 tons. Many Attend Special Cemetery Visiting Day Sunday was visiting day at the Flesherton Cemetery and a large crowd was present, many placing: flowers on the graves of loved ones» The cemetery was in splendid condi- tion, the grass being nicely cut and otherwise cleaned up, showing the splendid care which the caretaker, Mr. Russell Park, has given the cem- etery this year. Many expressions of agreement with the Cemetery Commission in inaugurating visitors' day, was heard on all sides on Sunday, many hoping that it be made an annual affair and declared as "Decoration Sunday." If such was done many organizations would take advantage of the day and place flowers of re- meiT^brance on the graves of mem- bers of fraternal organizations, etc. The Cemetery Commission is to be commended upon the inauguration of this annual pilgrimage to the cem- etery.
