Dennis Back From Visit To Manitoba, Saskatch'w'n The prairie farmer is just as hard put to find a way around the labor shortage as are Fraser Valley dairymen, according to John B. Dennis, who returned home Thursday morning after a ten day visit in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan farmers are in a better position than those in Manitoba, because there are fewer combines in Manitoba, he reports. Prairie people are looking forward to harvesting one of the biggest wheat crops in years, he reports. People as a whole are feeling optimistic.

Barring hail storms, the crop will be a bumper one. In both Saskatchewan and Manitoba, considerable flax is being grown this year. Rust has hit the wheat crop hard in Manitoba. Harvesting will be late this year and operations are not likely to start for three weeks yet. Best crops seen by Mr.

Dennis were in Morden, and Rose town, Sask. During his trip, Mr. Dennis visited his home town, Plumas, a short distance from Brandon. Thanksgiving Oct. 12 Thanksgiving will be observed throughout Canada Monday, October 12, it was announced in a proclamation published Monday in a special edition of the Canada Gazette.

This was the summary given by F. A. McGregor, enforcement administrator, who has been visiting Vancouver. In the early months of the board's operations, most of the cases concerned rentals. Then there was a run on hoarding cases, particularly sugar.

From now on more attention is to be paid to violations of the price ceiling. Guard to German Prisoner; "Well Fritz what are you going to do when the war is over?"
