We are grateful in more ways than one as it sure keeps up the morale when you know our relatives and friends in Canada have us in mind all the time.

Whoever makes a garden Has never worked alone; The rain has always found it, The sun has always shone, The wind has blown across it And helped to scatter seeds; Whoever makes a garden Has all the help he needs. Whoever makes a garden Should surely not complain, With some 'one like the sunshine And some one like the rain, And‘ some one like the breezes To aid him at his toil, And some one like the Father Who gave the garden soil.

BECKâ€"In .Ioving memory of our dear mother and grandmother Mrs. John Beck who passed away May 26, 1943. Loving and kind in all her ways, Upright and just to the end of her days, Sincere and true in her heart and mine, Beautiful memories she left, behind â€"'Ever remembered by her daugh- ters, son and grandchildren. RED CROSS NOTES This, above all . . . . . . that she has been reasonable about wartime regu- lations and shortages. She has-looked into the reasons behind them and found them practical. For these reasons and because she has made our individual tasks easier, we take off our hats and say “Thank you. Mrs. Consumer of Richmond Hill and surrounding district. Keep up the good work. We know we can count on you.” 0 RL EY’S S FRUITS VEGETABLES HIS PLAY THE BEST MRS. CONSUMER Throughout the nation this week, the spotlight bears proudly on the woman with the shopping bag. Her wartime task has not been an easy one, yet she has done it well. It is not too much to say that Canada’s success thus far on the home front would not have been possible without her support. “â€" She has refused to pay more . . . . . . TO HER CREDIT She has restricted rations. . . . She has bought no more than her requirements . . . . . . She has not complained . . . . . . IN MEMORIAM Although it has perhaps meant going without, Mrs. Consumer has de- clined to pay more than the maximum legal prices for scarce commodi- ties. That’s why black markets have failed to flourish. Because she realized that rationing of some essentials was necessary and fair for all, Mrs. Consumer has accepted it gracefully and seen to it that her household kept within its legal ration limits. Unnecessary buying causes local shortages which in turn cause more panic buying, Mrs. Consumer has learned. Therefore, even the wildest shortage rumour will not cause her to lose her head and buy more than the immediate requirements of her household. ‘ HATS OFF TO W» BEAUTIFY W ° AND PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY f S.W.
