! $5800 § CASH PREZE This is a time of National ‘Cl‘iSiS, a time when we must all do our share of National Service, and we must anticipate increasing burdens as taxpayers. We think it is our solemn dutylto curtail public expense wherever possible, and weed cutting on road-sides and streets is one item on which we think we can save the taxpayers’ money. To the Ratepayers of Vaughan Township The cutting of these weeds by the municipality costs a considerable amount of money annually, and it is our hope that by the individual property owner assuming this responsibility, the municipal treasury will be saved the expense. Please take this as the appeal of your Township Council, to co-operate in conserving township finances by having the weeds out in front of your own property. Council Appeals To Citizens To Cut Weeds In Front of Property The need for economy in all branches of public administration so that as much as possible of our resources may be directed for war purposes has been strongly emphasized by our leaders during recent weeks. In keeping with this policy which we heartily endorse Vaughan Township council is appealing to the farmers and property owners throughout the munici- pality to cut weeds in front of their own homes and arms. We thank you in anticipation of your response to this appeal. There is one great resource, which I trust will never abandon us, and which has shone forth in the British character, by which we have preserved our existence and fame as a nation, which we shall be determined never to abandon under any extremity, but shall join heart and hand‘in the solemn pledge that is proposed to us, and declare to His Majesty, “that we know great exertions are wanted; that we are prepared to make them; and are, at all events, determined to stand or fall by the laws, liberties and religion of our country." WALTER BONE & SON There is not a man whose stake is so great in the country that he would hesitate a moment in sacrific- ing any portion of it to oppOse the violence of the enemy; nor is there, I trust, a man in this happy and free nation whose stake is so small that he would not be ready to sacrifice his life in the same cause. . .

She is the examination vessel of the Royal Canadian Navy and to disobey her warning to ship would bring a hail of shrieking steel from the ever-ready muzzles of coastal batteries concealed among the plea- sant green foliage of the shoreline. Each new-comer reaching the range of the signal lamp aboard the examination vessel is greeted» by a series of winks and blinks that in- forms him he is to stand by to re- ceive an examining officer. Occa- sionally, by accident or design, in- coming vessels have ignored the sig- nals, only to receive a much more pointed order in the shape of a light shellâ€" across the bow from a coastal gun crew that has been sitting- with itchy trigger-fingers eVer since war began.

In many ways, it is a monotonous job for the crew of the little craft, lying at anchor day in and day out while fog lifts and~ falls and the fretful winds of the North Atlantic moan through the rigging and pluck at the special signal flag of the ex- amination service that flies from the mast. But often it is an extremely *busy job, when ship after ship comes up from beyond the horizon, some- times a: the rate of more than one an hour. If everything is in good order, the boarding officer returns to the ex- amination vessel and the "().K.†sig- nal starts its rounds.

In each constituency, there will be a registrar and an as- sistant. These officials will?! then an- point deputy registrars in each poll- ing subdivision. Registration will actually take place about the middle of August and all men and women over the age of 16 will have to an- sWer the Government’s questionnaire.
