Some might think much of this information could be secured from last year’s Dominion Census, but it must be remembered that this inâ€" formation is filed at Ottawa and1 as the information was given confiden- tially the details required regarding the various farms cannot be divulged â€"only general figures being released. We know the farmers of York County will be pleased to cooperate with those giving voluntarily of their time by providing the local commit- tee representatives With the approxi- mate ages, acreages, classes of stock, crops, etc. being planned for 1942 as compared with 1941. Some of the questions will deal with the equip ment available and also repair parts that might be required to speed up the provision of repair parts for which there is a quota under the priority for metals. No questions pertaining to finances will be asked. The committee consists of: War- dien ‘C. E. Toole, Newmarket; Elton Armstrong, Armibage of King Town- ship; Archie Cameron, Woodlbridge, of Vaughan; Raymond Clarkson, Weston, of Etobicoke; Earl Bales, Lansing, of North York; Alex Dav- idson, Agincourt, of Scariboro; Clark Young, Milliken, of Markham; J. A. Clark, Stouffville, of Whitchurch; John Smith, Queensville, of East Gwillimlbury; Robert A. Davidson, Belhaven, of North Gwillimbury; R. H. Corner, Pefferlaw, of Georgina; Chas. Hooper, Gormley and Robert W. Scott, Richmond Hill, Chairman and Secretary of the Agricultural Committee of County Council; James Rennie, Stouffville and E. F. Ram- say, Sharon, President and Secretary of the York County Federation of Agriculture and Agricultural Repre- sentative W. M. Cockburn. In conducting the survey each towns-hip representative will act as convenor for; his territory and“ ar- range for one man to assist him in each rural school section who in turn may enlist the assistance of two or three others to divide up the work and reduce the work to a minimum. The agricultural office at Newmar- ket has been burning midnight oil to get approximately 5,000 sets of questionnaire forms ready for the committee members. The Agricultural Representative of each county has been asked to ap- point a committee along the lines of the county committees function- ing so effectively in Great Britain, with all members serving without re- muneration. We are advised by our Representative, W. M. Cocklourn, of Newmarket, that he has selected One man for each of the ten townships together with the warden, the chair- man and secretary of the Agricul- tural Committee of County Council, the president and secretary of the Federation of Agriculture. Britain is asking for at least 6-00,- r000,000 lbs. of bacon and pork pro- ducts, 30,000,000 dozens of eggs and' L12,000,000 lbs. of cheese. This a- mount is likely to be increased if the war in the Pacific cuts off Aus- tralia and New Zealand shipping which carried huge quantities of lamb and three or four times as much cheese as we have been shipping. The axis tigers are at Britain’s throat and we must deliver the goods. INSURANCE LIFE. FIRE. ACCIDENT. SICKNESS PLATE GLASS, AUTOMOBILE BURGLARY, GUARANTEE BONDS SPECIAL RATES T0 FARMERS In order to get an accurate pio- tu’fie of the agricultural sitmion in Ontario, the Hon. P. (M. Dewan, Min- ister of Agriculture has asked that an agricultural survey or census be taken with reference to the personel on the farms, the labour situation in detail, the plants for crops and; live- stock in 1942 as compared with 1941. It was felt that if more accurate information regarding help could be secured it would enafble the govern- ment to better organize their plans to provide the necessary help on farms this coming season. War Committee Surveys York Agriculture ON ALL CARS TARIFF & NONTARIFF 00‘s A. G. Savage Old Post Office Richmond Hill mmmm Application is to be torney-General Conant cessary provisions for the closing time 0: throughout Ontario. From groups that have held‘ meet- ings it has been suggested that gaso- line would be saved as well as elec- tricity. They favor having only sufâ€" ficient light after closing to protect from burglars, and' lblacking out all; night electric signs at a reasonahle hour. A. G. Frame, assistant secretary of the association, says that letters axe coming in'from all parts» of the province supporting a standard closâ€" ing time, with reasonable provision for emergencies. Merchants in every «branch of business are holding meetings in con- nection with the endeavor of the Reâ€" tail Merchants" Association'of Can- ada to arrange for a uniform closing time of stores in order to conserve electric power for war purposes... Seven o’clock seems favored. Do you realize that if every home in Canada saved for salvage one newspaper every week for a year, that those papers would provide en- ough fi'bre board for packing five million two-pounder shells for tanks? It is all a simple matter of arith- metic. Paper â€"â€" like rubber and rags â€" can be used‘ over and over again. Salvage of it must still be regarded as essential. Defense headquarters announced the war service badgekfor members of the active service, honorably dis- charged, are now available for issue. ‘C. J. Brown, official tea taster in the Department of National Revenue, who passes approval on the hundreds of tons of tea bought annually for the fighting services, gave this ad- vice to-a‘ay: “,Don’t put sugar in your tea if you want to enjoy its real flavor." Thomas Richard Henry in the Ev- ening Telegram this week said’: “On the wheat market they always say that the last eighth is the hardest to get â€" so, in the loan, the last hundred million will be the hardest to get. Besides making the tea taste bet- ter, 32,000 tons of sugar would be saved for other purposes if two out of three persons who usedI sugar stopped doing- so, he added. No doubt the business men run- ning the loan are satisfiedl with the progress being madeâ€"but we think Canadians should have over-su‘b- scribed the six hundred million dol- lars the day the 'books were opened. After all, it is only money that we are askedI to throw into the war effort â€" not sweat and blood and years shorn from our lives. Some pivkers are cogitating over the investment qualities of this loan as if they were buying a horse from David Harum â€" not as if a ruth- less enemy was at their gates. Thousands of people who stopped sweetening their tea during the first Great War never started again, said Mr. Brown, adding that if sugar must be used’, “one lump or a small teaspoonful, is all that a cup of tea can a'bsox‘b." Anti if you don’t believe the enemy is at our gates â€"â€" look over the war news for the last two weeks.” Whitchurch Township council at its last meeting passed! a resolution abolishing 'bonuses for wire fence construction. Purchasing 300 pounds of sugar. contrary to rationing regulations, W. N. Diaper, of Queensville, was fined $50 and costs in Newmarket court. North York Temperance Federa- tion has petitioned the provincial government to abolish beverage rooms and retail sale of alcoholic beverages as a war measure. It was- also decided to form a Temperance Voters’ league, members to support only “dry” candidates in the next election. 1600 men are now stationed at Newmarket Military Camp. Collis Leather Company in Aurora plan a $20,000 addition to their plant. Work'wiil start in a few weeks. Buy Victory Bonds. GENERAL NEWS AND VIEWS te made to At- Lt to make ne- r standardizing of all stores Altogethenthe year’s work was accounted to have been a fine suc- cess and the congregations are‘to be congratulated on their devotion to the church and their sacrifices on behalf of it in these critical times which are making so many demands upon their time, energy and incomes. The Missionary and Maintenance Fund of the charge reported. an in- crease over 1940, the total amount being 431 dollars. The grand total of revenue raised by all organiza- tions of the churches of the charge for all purposes was $5,200. Warden Earl Toole, reeve of W’hit- church was tendered a compliment- ary banquet in Aurora last Wednes- day by Whitchurch ratepayers. War- den Toole was presented with a sil- ver tea service. A slight decrease in total member- ship was reported! due to general causes, the chief of which was re- movals for the purpose of employ- ment in war industries, etc. There were 225 baptisms, 8 marriages and 8 burials recorded in the charge, five members being removed by the lat- ter cause. There are tw0 Women’s Mission- ary Societies and three Woman’s As- sociations, one of which is affiliated with the The total mem- bership of each of these is 64.

There were 2 Young People’s Unions, one at 'Laskay and the other at King with an approximate membership of 50, which, altogether with the C.G..I.T. group at King, raised 150 dollars by mid-week activities. Report of the Annual Meetings of King Charge of the United Church for 1941 The annual meetings of King, Laskay and Teston United churches on the King charge for the year ending December 31, L941, were held on Wednesday and Thursday, Janu- ary 14th and 15th, and on Wednes- day, January 215’s, respectively. A fair average attendance was record- ed at each of these meetings. The fellowship was enhanced by sump- tuous meals served either before 9r after business. There’s no danger of a tea short- age in Canada, said T. K. Wad’e, tea controller. Similarly U..S. offi- cials denied reports that United States only have two months’ supply. Three Sunday Schools operated on full time basis, with a total mem- «bership of 2:22, including officers andI teachers.
