The column lists civic reminders, wartime urges, and local items. It notes Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, mentions Doug Horner’s trip to Winnipeg for truck driving work, and references extreme cold affecting bowsport. It also covers fashion ads, RAF enlistment, a poetry award, World Day of Prayer services, mail addressing changes for Canadian Army members, and a historical note on English church beer practices and brewers’ guild history.

The piece argues the government should buy the entire wheat crop to cover a potential 240 million bushel sale, estimating a 300 million bushel crop. It urges excess storage for surplus, warns of drought risk, and invokes Allied moral duty to feed blockade‑starved Europe after peace.
