I I The Republicans saici ..-.aocaohusctts Joe Martin would immodiately strip the Ex­ecutive branch of its emergency and war­time powers .... take the meddling hands of political despots out of the kitchens of America——out of the farmhouses, out of the grocery stores, rescind some of the 76,541 directives, grants, orders, per­missions and prohibitions, issued by the ^Executive Department, look into the ’’waste and graflt", and loxver the taxes, etc.'7 Just how long the people of Canada in­tend to put up with Ottawa's meddling* Mr. Isley’s controls and Doc, Gardiniers perscriptions remain to be seen. The winning slogan of the Republican Party was "Had Enough", That goes for us too. The local' veterans were as busy as bees on Wednesday morning and well they might be The reason, three veterans applied to the Town Council for the job of night watch­man and all were refused. We understand the Council have agreed to reconsider their decision. The Tom vacancies should all be filled by veterans as stepping stones to something better, Tho Sugar Factory Lake is full this fall. One thing we won't have to worry about. Very unfair. Like all government re­gulations, The government takes $18,00 an acre for allowing the prisoners to dig beets out of the mire. The P.O.War gets 500 a ton for doing the work, (Paid by the farmer,) If the beets remain in the ground, with hundreds of prisoners available it is the governments empty headedness. They would rather see the men idle than allow them to salvage the crop. Why should these men volunteer to har­vest the beet crop in mud, just for the fun of it? NOTICE: The First Ward Relief Society will commence Sewing Lessons, next Tuesday, There will also be a demonstration of soap making, PARCEL TAKEN BY MISTAKE, Parcel containihg Wool dress taken by mistake from the Ladies Ready to Wear Dept, (Wednesday), If found please return to Marjorie Dudley, AT THE PARK THEATRE: Tonight "The South* i erner", Friday & Saturday: "Renegade" with Willard Parker and Evelyn Keyes.
