If Britain wants more bacon, why not feed hogs to much heavier weights or up to 300 pounds. or :nqre? This is a question being commonly asked by many: pe‘oplte ,hljoughout Canada, and it is 'a log- ical question, say officials of the D0- minion Department of Agriculture. The answer is thag Britain, wants lean bacon because, due to shipping mace being limited, it is more econ- )mical to send lean meat than to :end fat on the backs of hogs. It 's cheaper to send fat in the form of lard which can be shipped without refrigeration. The advocates for producing heavâ€" ier hogs to meet {tie demand for Canadian bacon refer to the heavier fiogs raised in the United States. With the British bacon. ration fixed for the time being at four ounces per week per person, the British peo- ple naturally want to get as much lean meat as possible so that, in the cooking, there will be little waste. One of the principal reasons that Britain is buying bacon in Canada is because the Dominionhas devel- oped :1 bacon hog. A hog’ which when fed to a live weight of from 200 to 230 pounds will provide the great/mt possible amount of lean meat, and lean meat means food in its most economical and. concentrat- ed form and utilizes valuable refrig- erated shipping spabe to the 'best advantage. It is true that a bag will put on mbre weight quickly after it has reached 200 pounds, but heavier hogs invariany carry a. much higher perâ€" cefitage of fat. Gdntrary to general opinion, the extra weigfit is‘ 119». put Why Braid-in. Wants Lean; Not Fat Bacon PAGE ElGhI Clear telephone lines for All-IN” PHHBTIEN Your telephone is part of a vast interlocking SyS‘ tem now carrying an abnormal wartime load. Don’t let needless delays hold up messages on which pro- duction efficiency may depend. on cu-“per than the cost of putt'ng on weight up to 230 pounds. Heav- ier hogs mean fatter Wiltshires and fatter bacon. The British consum- ‘ers have always demanded lean bacon in peace time, and, altogether apart from the consideration of postâ€"war trade, their demand is even more in- sistent in wartime because they want the minimum of loss in cooking. The impressive fact is (the British want lean bacon, and the highest percentage of lean bacon cannot be secured from heavy hogs â€" and so it’s a case of “The man who pays the piper calls the tune". WITH THE BOY SCOUTS The Richmond Hill Troop wishes to think the citizens who so gen- erously supported their effort in the recent Apple Day.

From this sum an amount of $10.00 is being for- warded to the “Chins Up” Fund, which is the fund Canadian Scouts have promoted for the benefit of the British Scouts who are assisting as Air Raid Wardens, etc. in Britain.

Their fight was not the mere mat- ter of k’lling Germans, although that was the means to a bigger job. They went forth in 1914-18, as their sons are going forth today, as champions of democracy against autocracy. of justice against iniquity, of freedom against tyranny, of mercy against ruthlessness, of right against might, of decency against shamefulness, of good faith against broken pledges, of peace againét war, of humane and Christian civilization against savage and pagan barbarism. Richmsnd Hi}! Honars Mammy of the Fallen They fought a war to end war and to bring about a sane world, where people would live like human beings created in the image of God and not like insane beings. They asked us to keep faith With them and to go on and finish the job. We prom- ised to keep’ faith with them, our dead in Flanders Fields, but' we soon forgot about them and their deeds, apart from an occasional remem- brance such as this. Their great sacrifices should have changed our way of life. But the War was scarcely over before we settled down to an orgy of spending, pleasure-seeking and rast living such aswas never before witneSSed. We had prayed to God to give us the victory, the victory came, but it did not take us long to forget the God of Victory, and return to the gods of our own making, the gods of ma‘ terialism, pleasure-seeking and self-' ishness. We won our freedom and liberty, thanks to the. men whoi fought and died, but turned them into license and lasciveousness. We have not been worthy of their sacri- fices. “We thank Thee, Lord, for men who‘ heed Thy call, Who, in the cause of Right, have given their all; We thank Thee, Yes! but this should not suffice. Lord, make us worthy of their Sac- rifice.” ' - The pOpular slogan, “Nothing ‘ matters now but Victory”, although appropriate enough for the Victory Loan Campaign, does not represent the fullest sentiments of a lot of sincere thinking people in Canada today. Other things do matter now besides Victory. The mere licking of Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo is not enough. We have got to lick our selves. By that I mean we have got to get the self out of our think ing and living and service. We have got to put a whole lot of unselfish service into what we are pleased to call “Our Way of Life”. That ap- plies to those who lead as well as to those who follow. We have got to put more into this troubled world than we hope to get out of it. Who is there among us who boasts that he is better off because of the war? Who is there among us who is seeking material gain and secur- ity out of this war? I say to such a person, you are not worthy of the Victory for which our boys are giv- ing their all. We must all feel the bite of sacrifice. The Israelites, God’s chosen peo- ple, were defeated in battle because there was an Achan in their midst. He was out lining his pockets while his neighbours fought and died. How many Achan’s are hindering Can- ada’s war effort and the final vic- tory we know not. But we do know that there are Achan’s in every war, selfish people who gobble up the spoils of battle, without giving any thought to the blood, suffering and death of the champions who, ever- forgetful of self, go forth to battle. We have a big job on our hands in meteing out the punishment to that wicked gang who have wrought such destruction in the earth. But that is not the whole job. We must put higher ideals into these blind people so easily led by blind lead- ers, who seem to love plunder and destruction. But we ourselves must have these high ideals before we can teach others. We have got to win the peace as well as the war; and the peace can only be won through Him who said, “My' peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” We must put Christianity into practice, nor must we expect the other fellow to do the practising. We must give to that practise the same loyalty, service and sacrifice that we have given and expect to give to this terrible war. Please do not forget that the Christian Church was the only insti- tution that did not capitulate to Hitler.

Brown’s Corners United Church Brown’s Corners United Church W.M.‘S. held their annual Thankoff- ering meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 4th in the church. Mrs. Rigler, Mrs. Rumley and Mrs. Fuller were in charge of the meeting and Mrs. Rig- ler presided. Guests from Unionville and l\IZ.1iken were present and the roll call was responded to by seven- teen members. Our president, Mrs. Russell, led in the devotional. She pointed out that our way of life has failed when part of the world lives in plenty and the other half starves; when the perfect socxal order comes the strong will serve not just them- selves but all mankind. Mrs. Russell of Unionville fav- oured with the solos “The Stranger of Galilee” and “I shall not pass this way again”. Mrs. Macklin, disâ€" trict vice-president, was the guest speaker for the afternoon and her subject was “The Soong Family of China" She told of Charlie Soong’s early life in America where he had been sent as a child, and of how his life was influenced by Christian ity. Later he returned to China to become one of her most influential men and his family today is known throughout the world. His youngest daughter is Madame Chiang‘ Kaishek who is known as a great leader of the Chinese women of today and for her famous husband the General- issimo. Mrs. Macklin’s story was most interesting. Appropriate Thanksgiving hymns were sung. Mrs. Craig moved a vote of thanks to those who helped make the meeting a success and welcomed the visitors. capitulated, but not the Church. The ground of conquered lands is red with the blood of Christian martyrs, Clergy and Laymen of the Church; and many others lie bound in con- centration camps. The Church of Jesus Christ cannot capitulate; its Clergy and Missionaries remain at their posts until thrown out at the point of the bayonet. Christ is Eter- nal and so is His Church. That is why we sing, “Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane; But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain: Gates of hell can never ’Gainst that church prevail; We have Christ’s own promise, And that cannot fail.” Get behind that Church, help win the peace, and help make this old world a better and safer place in which to live. Let us not be satis- fied with OUR WAY of life, but strive to bring in CHIRIST’S WAY of life. God bless our men and women now in the King’s Uniform, and God bless those whose uniforms have been bathed in the blood of sacrifice, and grant them His eternal peace.
