It i< a picture of a nation defending itself and the daring young airmen including Canadian fliers with R.A.F. bombers which sank Nazi battleships. The ship, Gneisenau, was split in two by a bomb which was dropped in her funnel. “The Lion Has Wings,"- produced by Alexander Kordavin conjunction with the British Ministry of Inform­ ation, was flown by clipper across the Atlantic. The film which pictures vividly the evergrowing might of Britain in the air, are actual scenes of the R. A. F. pilots who raided a Nazi naval 'base on Sept. 4. - Scenes of the bombing were filmed from the pilots’ penronal reports. The picture will show: 50 Men in a Secret Room controll­ ing the safety of a nation, gearing to action today’s new miracle devices for defence!

Murray, vocalist of Woodstock. The career of the young pianist has been followed with interest by her many friends. In this recital her virtuosic ability was fully apprecia­ ted. Hsr audience was thrilled by the distinguished quality of tone and the sonorous, powerful interpretation of the Chopin group and delighted with the gay capriciousness of “Fire-flies", and the “Music Box.” _ Dohnanyi’s “Hungarian Rhapsody’’ was played with an enthralling brilliance, her finger technique in double thirds was ravishingly lovely to watch.

VEALSProprietor and EditorPHONESTribune Office, 13 - Residence, 5S0— Member of —The Canadian Weekly Newapapers' AssociationTHURSDAY, JANUARY 4th, 1940 Canadians Growing Taller There comes a story out of Toronto with which the Dominion Bureau of Statistics has some connection, that is of intense interest. It shows that Young Canada is growing taller and heavier. Recordings of weight and measuring machines in Toronto schools, where 90,000 children were examined, show this. Toronto is so large a city and has such a representa­ tive population that the result of the survey may be taken as typical of the whole country.Upper Canada College provides a practical proof of this upward trend. It has replaced the usual six- foot bed by a seven-footer because the boys’ feet were hanging over the ends.The Toronto report states that due to proper feed­ ing, good general care and preventive medicine, chil­ dren have developed two or three years beyond the currently accepted average and a university professor credits the increased robustness of youth to the “more widespread and liberal use of milk, cheese, fruits and vegetables.” Since 1920, says the report, the average height of university freshmen has jumped 1 % inches, or from 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9% inches and the average weight has increased from 138 to 144* pounds. It is quite common nowadays to see sons taller and bigger than their fathers. It was not so common in the last generation. A six-footer used to be reckoned extraordinarily tall. Six footers are now to be seen everywhere.Now the average height of all mankind a few years ago was estimated by the statisticians at 5 feet 5 in­ ches. Probably it is a little more than that now. However, there were races that, according to tradi­ tion, were taller than other races. There were the Scandinavians, notably the Norwegians and Swedes, who were very tall, like the Highland Scots and cer­ tain types of the Irish. The blonde Normans who invaded England are reputed to have geen very big strong men. Finland's Nickel Finland is appearing much in the news these days and there is much speculation by the news writers why this is so, for if there is such a thing as an in­ offensive, peace loving people, surely it is the Finns. Some hazard the guess that the discovery of nickel has aroused Covetousness. Of this, we have no actual proof, of course, but there are one or two facts about nickel that are striking. Nickel is a very necessary metal used in the mak­ ing of certain alloys. Its greatest use is in the realm of peaceful pursuits. Kitchen implements and other household equipment very often owe their efficiency to nickel. But in war time it becomes very necessary. Canada is very fortunate in possessing the greatest quantity of nickel. Roughly speaking, Canada pro­ duces about 90 p.c. of the world’s supply, while the remainder is derived chiefly from New Caledonia. New Caledonia is a large French island northwest of Aus­ tralia. It lies close to a number of British islands in that quarter of the globe. In size it is between three and four times larger than our Prince Edward Island, but it has only 50,000 inhabitants. An important discovery of nickel was made in Fin­ land in recent years and the mine is expected to be ready to produce in the autumn of 1940. Vast sums have already been spent upon its development. It is owned by the International Nickel Company of Canada. Clung To The Kilt Although the kilt is no longer fashionable fighting garb in the British Army, it is known that one Scot­ tish unit sailing with the First Division of the Canad­ ian Active Service Force wore the beloved filibeg. However, this garment will later be discarded for the new’ battle uniform in order to establish and main­ tain a standard in dress. At the moment an earnest battle-by-letter h being carried on in the columns of London pqpers re­ garding the merits or otherwise of the kilt, the majority of participants in the controversy being medical men. All of them are "positively pro or con with no sympathy for the opposition. In the midst of this battik of the post an interlude was furnished by a present/day Fraser who furnished an extract from an ancestor's diary written during winter operations at Quebec. The officer ancestor, one of Fraser’s Regiment/* wrote of the distress caused by lack of trousers in “this terrible climate.” He added that the Ursuline Nuns had been generous in knitting long woollen hose for the comfort of tho Scots soldiers. A radio broadcast last week brought to mind that .there is at least some compensation in the develop­ ment of science which has helped to make war more horrible. Faster, stronger air ships, improved explos­ ives, brings a war closer to those far away from it, as the Irishman. said. At the same time, Canadians on December 23 were enabled to hear a full account of the, arrival of their troops in England. Through the vastly improved medium of radio, listeners on this continent were given a picture of the actual arrival in port, the trip to Aidershot by train, and a descript­ ion of what the troops were doing in camp; actually heard the voices of members of the first division, a message delivered by General McNaughton, chief ofstaff. t ' Contrast this with the anxious weeks which elapsed between the arrival of Canadians in 1914 and detailed word about them from England. To start the New Year off on the right foot, a new Federal law will become operative designed to put a <curb on "loan sharks." On loans of not more.than 3500, the cost of the loan to the borrower must be shown plainly and must not exceed 2 per cent per month for a 15-month-period on the amount actually placed in the hands of the borrower. The penalty for violation is imprisonment up to one year and a max­ imum fine of |1,000, or in the case of a corporation, a fine of $5,000.

Mr Mel*rty, Labor Minister, that at a time when Britain’s enemies have sworn her des­ truction no one in Canada should be allowed to wax fat on his country’s necessity, no one should be per­ mitted to make greedy gain of the common need. lu other words Mr. McLarty was impressing on the public the fact that under the operations of the War time Prices and Trade Board, there would be no pro­ fiteering, no hoarding and no undue enhancement in price of the necessities of life. Asked if such a thing as a “Death Ray” really ex­ isted outside the realm of fiction, Professor J. B. S. Haldane, noted British scientist, replied: “I wish it did. It would come in very handy for ARP.” Which seems to just about dispose of that question. Mr. Stephen Leacock says the child’s world is with­ out economic purpose. Judging by recent history it looks as though it resembles the adult world in that respect at least. LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada* Thursday, Jan. 4th, 1917 Ingersoll was a busy place on Monday. Those who were not at work in the factories were out working for their favorite aspirants for municipal honors. J. V. Buchanan was elected mayor over his opponent W. J. Elliott by 157 majority. Buchanan polled 627 votes to 470 for Elliott. The councillors elected were Messrs. T. R Mayberry, Jas. Henderson, Fred N. Horton, John Mitchell, M. E. Scott, and R. W. G. Bloor. H. F.

West was elected mayor of Woodstock by a 200 majority. David Ross was elected Reeve of Embro. C. H. Denton won out for mayor in Tillsonburg and D. Smith was elected Reeve and David Morrison, Deputy Reeve in North Dorchester. Miss Ida Marshall, youngest daughter of the lulu Mi> R. C. Marshall, of Ingersoll, was united in mar­ riage to Mr. John Wesley Button, only son of Mrs. H. Button, North Main Street, Seaforth. The ceremony was performed on Saturday afternoon, December 23rd, at 2.30 o’clock, by Rev. George McMenley, B.A. The marriage took place last Thursday morning at the rectory, Oxford street, by Rev. R. J. M, Perkins, of Miss Clarissa M. Patterson, daughter of the lata George (Patterson, North Oxford, and Earl Tinsey Dundass.

Murray has been appointed manager of the Ingersoll Hockey Club, with Vincent Wilson as assistant manager. \ Mr. and Mrs. E. Waterhouse were week-end visitors with the latter’s people in Oahawa. The Tho?. Waterhouse Co. tendered their second annual banquet to their employees at the Inn on Wed­ nesday evenfrig. The ratepayers of the Separate School met last week and elected trusteea for the coming two' years: Ward 1, Ju. Henderson; Ward 2, M. J. Comlskey, Ward 3, F. A. O^Callaghan. Now that Canada’s first contribu­tion of man power to the BritishArmy ha* crossed the Atlantic insafety and the Dominion troops are “Somewhere" in England, it is per­ missible to tall the story of their assembly and transport. It was known that men had been mobilized in various centres in Canada under­ going training and in time soldiers werp seen in the streets of towns and cities garbed in the new design of “battle” uniform, but during the early days of preparation, there had been little of the bustle and excite­ ment such as marked the mobiliza­ tion of the First Canadian Contin­ gent which in the Fall of 1914 set forth from Canada on that great adventure which was to continue un­ til that fateful November day in 1918. The real enthusiasm was there, nevertheless, and those eyewitnesses who were privileged to see the de­ parture of units from the cities and towns and the eventual sailing of the First Contingent from a port on the East Coast of Canada, can testify that the men of 1939 are bright, alert, sturdy, fit mentally and physic­ ally, and ns fine a group of young Canadians as one might wish to see. At various “zero” hours timed differently in the nine provinces of the Dominion, officers and men of combatant forces and the ancillary cervices were assembled complete with arms and equipment. The parade state checked these units were moved off to their rail head, usually being conveyed in buses, a touch which may stir a bit of envy in those elders who recall their own setting off in 1914 and the years that were to follow until the termination of Canada’s effort in the first great war. At each appointed rail head a train was in readiness. For those units travelling from distant points, a normal train consisted of a bag­ gage car for the personal baggage— it was said to average five tons for an infantry urtit—nine, ten or more colonist cars, a standard sleeping car for the officers, a commissary car and a car for the cooks and waiters of the latter, making trains of from 12 to 18 cars and accommodating from 400 to 600 officers and men. The Colonia^, cars furnished ample sleeping accommodation for tho “other ranks” and as each man had been provided with two blankets his comfort during the journey was fairly well assured. To feed such a number of men during a train journey which in some instances was to occupy several days, presented an unusual problem, but it was met with and disposed of smartly. The Commissary car was set in the middle of the colonist cars. It was not a formal dining car in the accepted sense, with set tables and chairs, but rather a rolling cafeteria. Cooking ranges and hot and cold ser­ ving tables occupied one side, front­ ed by a counter. At meal hours men marched in single file, just as the cafeteria customers do, gathering their requirements as they passed the long counter, then swung back on their tracks and with ample room to do so, passed the line now at the counter and returned to the cars from which they came, and there sat down to dispose of the meal. Cooks and servers .were furnished by the railway forces and the food, both varied and substantial, was well suited to the hearty appetites. Saus­ ages for breakfast was one popular item. The noonday meal included meat, vegetables, a pudding and either tea or coffee. • , The senior officer on board each train was in command while a trav­ elling passenger official from the railway staff acted as liaison between the military command, the train crew and the railway operating staff. At all railway divisional points the trains were swept clean, wateredand iced, indeed the servicing wasthorough throughout the journey.At all such places, the men disem­ barked and had the advantage of a jog in the fresh air. There troop trains were operated over a period of several days and so scheduled as to arrive at the port of embarkation during three days. They were timed so as to reach their destination at two hour intervals. As a train drew in, its occupants were quickly paraded, marched up the gangplank, assigned to quarters on shipboard and everything and everybody was in the clear before the next following train drew into the port railway terminal. The railway movement was car­ ried out efficiently, not an untoward incident marked the progress of any one train, schedules were maintained, with one -exception, and the delay of that particular train did not cause any upset in the time table so well prepared in advance. This part of the transport of the First Division was performed in a manner worthy of the high standard and fine tradition of Canadian railroading. — From — HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA PREVENTION OF SCURVY One name, that of Captain James Cook, is pre-eminent in association with the affection known as scurvy. Scurvy is a deficiency disease, that is one in which the person affected lacks some necessary element in the diet such as fresh vegetables and lima or lemon juice. The scurvy patient shows weakness, anaemia, spongy gums, a tendency to muco-cutaneous haemmorhages and a brawny hard­ ness of the muscles of the calves and legs. In years gone by it was the par­ ticular bane of sailors who, on long voyages, were obliged to eat salt pork and to do without fresh vebet- pork and to do without fresh veget­ ables. In some vessels one-half or even more of the crews were affected and many died of scurvy. Captain Cook changed all this. He was born in a clay “biggin’ ” in Yorkshire and at 27 joined the Royal Navy. Within a month his grave, firm, sensitive face so im­ pressed the captain that Cook was made master’s mate. Later he be­ came captain of the “Endeavour”, 368 tons. She was overcrowded, and unhygienic; she was not provisioned against scurvy. In this and other ships, Cook criss-crossed the Indian, the Pacific and the South Atlantic in every sort of climate. He never lost a man from illness. All this was the more remarkable since Admiral An­ son’s squadron, barely a year at sea, lost 626 out of 921 men. Cook insisted on fresh air, clean­ liness and rational diet. With tho GENERAL SCHEDULECHANGEEffective Monday January 8 TORONTO GREYHOUND LINES and former lines of Canadian-American Trailways CONSULT LOCAL AGENT FOR DETAILS dirt departed the typhus; with fresh meat and vegetables, the malt-wort and lemon juice departed the scurvy It was generations before the Navy rose to his level in these respects; and as for British armies in the field, they could have done with a Cook, amateur though he was, in any war up to that of 1914-18. Scurvy in modern times is pre­ vented by the routine use of orange and pineapple juice or that of any other fresh fruit. Persons who eat fresh vegetables, fresh meats and other fresh foods are in no danger from scurvy. NUTRITION -nd HEARING Everywhere in Canada, interest is growing in the subject of Nutrition, special efforts being made in some centres to improve facilities for wo­ men in learning how to choose and use foods to best advantage. While it is becoming generally realized that health depends to a large extent upon proper nutrition, little infoftn- ation has been given as to the re­ lationship .between nutrition and hearing. Recently, " however, teste were made in Great Britain that give rather conclusive results, large sample groups of children living un­ der different social conditions being examined. In one series about 1,000 children were chosen from good en­ vironments in private schools, day schools and boarding schools; in an­ other series about 6,000 children were in public elementary schools or in ecclesiastical orphanages, the lat­ ter being chosen (because they repre­ sented institutions hard pressed for funds. Ears were examined with an auri- scope to detect wax and a pure tone audiometer for hearing. As even the children in the poor groups were well housed, being in or- phanges chiefly, difference in housing between the two groups was of no significance. The two series of children did, however, differ greatly in the 'food they obtained. Middle-ear disease is about four times as common, on the average, under ^oor social condi­ tions as it is under ’good social con­ ditions; in the poorest places, whether urban or institutional, it may be nearly ten times as common as in a good environment, nearly a quarter of the child population being affected. Climate, housing and the mixing of children seem to have little effect on the incidence of the disease. The children with the high­ est incidence of defective hearing had diets deficient in many factors, but an increase in the food taken by two groups of these children for a year did not reduce the incidence of defective hearing. The teats show that probably the most import­ ant work on the prevention of deaf­ ness will be done by those who are striving to improve the social condi­ tions and, in particular, the nutrition. Pilots Fighting Planes Miss Mona Friedlander, pretty2S-year-old British woman flier, who was selected among the eightwomen pilot: who will ferry newarmy planes from factories to. military airdromes and thus rc-rclieving male pilots for combat duty.

Miss Friedlander wasthe first woman to do “army co­operation flying” last summer,when she piloted planes for train­ ing searchlight crews.

I should like to congratulate the three councillors who were elected in December. To the two new ones I want to extend a hearty welcome and hope that they may find their work among us very pleasant. Of those who have been in council be­ fore I can only hope that the happy associations which we have enjoyedin the past may continue throughthe coming year, it is probgble thatwe shall have the responsibility ofguiding the town affairs for the dur­ ation of the war which we sincerely hope may not be long. I fee) that I am fortunate indeed in having such a splendid group of men to assist me and I ask that I may have the co­ operation of you all. In these trying times when money is so urgently needed foe Aed^ Cross and other war work, we cannot hope to make any extensive improvements but there are repairs which must be done and necessary expenses which must be met, but I promise that we shall keep these to the minimum.

Nona Helen Logan, mne-montli* old daughter of Mr and Mrs. Clar­ ence Logan, just west of Ingersoll, in West Oxford Township, was burned to death in her baby buggy in the kitchen of the Logan home on Wednesday afternoon, December 27, after a match had ignited a celluloid rattle hanging in the top of the buggy. The match it is said was lit by Billie Logan, aged six, to enter­ tain the baby during the absence of his mother, who had gone to the home of Mrs. Robert MacDonald to use the telephone. When Billie saw the fire, he ran a considerable distance across the fields to the Ingersoll municipal dump, where he told Caretaker Geo. Savage that his home was on fire. William Uncer, Ingersoll, was placing some material in the dump at the time. He went too, driving his light delivery truck around by the road. Savage rail across the fields. Savage carried the child from the kitchen with practically all its cloth­ ing burned off, as the kitchen was starting to burn. When it was seen that nothing could be done for the child, Wiliam Uncer then directed his attention to securing the help of neighbors in case the house fire was beyond control. Savage, however, returned to the kitchen and exting­ uished the fire there without diffi­ culty. Another child, Allan, aged five, wax in bed at the time. The prompt action of Billie in running to the dump for assistance, definitely saved the home from destruction by fire. and probably saved his young brother from the same fate as the baby. Mrs. Logan had gone to the home of Mrs. Robert MacDonald, some dis­ tance north, to use the telephone. George Savage had seen her passing the dump on the way to the Mac­ Donald home, although he did not know where she was going. It was soon after she passed the dump that the little lad appeared and raised the alarm. The celluloid rattle is said to have filled the buggy almost immediately with flames once it became ignited. Dr. C. C. Cornish was at once summoned but he found life extinct when he arrived. Chief Coroner H. G. Furlong, after investigation, de­ cided an inquest was unnecessary. The funeral, private, was held from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, to the Harris Street Ceme­ tery, on Thursday afternoon with service at 2.30 o’clock. Miss Rose Shecter has returned to Toronto after spending Christmas and New Years with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Shecter, King street west.

Ritchie sailed in advance of the first contingent to confer with Lieut.-Col. William Rae, DJS.O., the C.L.W.S. honorary representative in London, and to pave the way for the arrival of the Legion's vanguard of overseas officers. Authorities in England' and France, according to reports now reaching Ottawa, are co-operating whole heartedly with the Legion of­ ficials. Little can he said, at the mom­ ent, of course, until more complete information is available, but it is understood that the machinery is being rapidly set up to go into oper­ ation in the near future. This machinery will enable continuance in both countries, including actual theatres of war, of the same welfare facilities being provided in Canada by the Legion such as education, personal service, entertainment, rec­ reation huts and sports. In addition, leave hostel centres and travel bur­ eaux will be established and there will be other auxiliary services of a more minor nature. Pending the arrival of the overseas officers who are attached to and will sail with the next contingent of the C.A.S.F., Col.

Whatever mistakes we have made whatever enmities we have felt, seem of lit­ tle account when we come so near the end of things as I have come . . his voice died away and pres­ ently he reached out his hand to her. "We were a pair of fools, Ellie," he said. "A pair of fools. You found the right word for it But we can't go back. That’s the tragedy of it— that life cannot be lived over again." “I wouldn't know how to live it over again if I had a chance," she said shakily. "That's always been the trouble with me, Francis. I’m a ship without a rudder.” She rose. "Anne Elinor asked with lively interest, “When did you get him?" "Charles gave him to me." "Before he went away?” "No. I had a letter . . Anne hated this catechism, but couldn't stop it. She might stop Garry, but not her mother. "Queer thing, that marriage.” Elinor was putting on her gloves. Then as she saw the flame in Anne's checks she said with unusual ten­ derness, "I'm glad he gave you his dog, Anne.” Anne did not answer. When they had gone Anne wentsoberly and thoughtfully back to hertree. She hated to give up her schooland her life with Vicky, but the doc­ tor had been insistent "Your fatherhas been very much weakened byhis illness," he told her. "He needsyou, Anne. After Christmas I'd liketo send you south with him.” w And that had seemed to settle it Vicky would have one of her younger sisters take Anne's placein the school And in June theywould all be together. They mustlook forward to that "If you would only go with us, Vicky," Anne had pleaded. Vicky had said quietly, but withdecision: "My people need me athome.” On Christmas eve Garry dined with them, and Betty Lanvale and her young husband, and a few reason. Mother, to expect her togive up all that for a life of loneli­ ness.”“Why expect anything? Life willwork it all out for her.”"But I don't want her to marryGarry.""Trust her good sense for that, my dear.”“Francis is letting them see sucha lot of each other. Yet I know hewouldn't want them to fall in love.”“Vicky, stop worrying. It’s fur thechild to decide.” “But—she’s like my own. I miss her. Mother.” Vicky’s voice shook.“My dear. I know. You’ve beenbrave. Vicky.”“I couldn't do differently.”"Some women might have takenwhat was offered them." "I couldn’t And Francis knew it.I'm not sure I ought to go there inthe spring."“Let the spring take care of it­self."Vicky laughed. “What a philoso­ pher-you are, dearest.” "It isn’t philosophy It's faith.”Vicky went on with her baking.There was something, she told her­self, about work with your handsthat was comforting. She wonderedwhy doctors didn't put discontented women to making their own cakes.There was a tonic for tired nervesin the routine of culinary artBy the time the cake was bakedshe felt better. She washed her hands and went down for the mail. The mail box was by the big gateand Vicky walked down to it with«Anne’s silver cat Jerry, following The mail man had a lot of letters and the Baltimore, papers.

His face was impassive. “What does Anne think of that—the separation?" “It will be hard for her. but Vicky insists. And they will see each other often. Vicky will come here for all holidays.” Downstairs Garry, helping Anne trim the Christmas tree, was also asking questions. "When are you and Vicky going back?" “I'm not going back at all, Garry." “You mean you’re going to stay here?” he demanded. “Yes. I’ll miss the children, but Daddy needs me.” "Anne, may I come and see you/* “Why not?” She was tossjng glittering shreds of silver over/thebranches. "We’re friends, aren’t “Are we friends. Anne? Am I. forgiven?" She smiled. “Of course, Garry," ‘T acted like an idiot, but I was mad with jealousy of Patterson.” She was still tossing silver shreds over the tree, and she did not an­ swer him. Her silence should have warned him, but he went on, “What­ ever" made him marry my wife; again?" She turned andrfaced him. “We’D stay friends, if you will stop talking about Charles. He did what was best and right, and 1 honor him for it.” For a moment he said nothing, then at last with a touch of sullen­ ness, "You win, of course. In the future we’ll forget him.” They talked then about other things and she kept him hard at work. "You’re a great help.” she told hijn.as he hung a wax angel at the very top. “I wish you could be here to fix the electric fights.” "Do you mean that you're asking me,to come and do it?" "Yea.

Francis had insisted on it.“You’ve been shut up too long,Anne.” Garry brought Anne a pair ofsilver buckles set with aquamarinesand brilliants. Anne was very happy, for another present had come to her that morn­ing—a tiny ivory box, old and yel­low and exquisitely carved. Therehad been no name, but the postmarkwas that of a remote settlemenfonthe Nile, so Anne had known. Andthe knowledge had made her world glow and sparkl- Ms if life were set with diamonds. She had told no oneabout the box. Not even Vicky. It was in mid-January that Annewent south with her father. Shewrote back to Vicky: “Oranges and flame vines;bright gold everywhere, and the waves of pale purple. Everybody is taking sun baths. Daddy and I have an adorable cottage, withpalms about us like the pillars ofa temple. We know a lot ofpeople here. I spend the morn­ings with Daddy and the after­ noons, while he has his nap, with the young crowd at the Casino.And at night after Daddy isasleep I go to dances. "Garry is down, and we* arevery gay and splendid. Every­body raves.about the aquamarine satin that I bought to match Garry’s buckle.

A line came to her every day. She did not oftenwrite to him, but she was glad toget his letters. They were never loveletters, but they breathed his needof her. "Anne is a precious child,but she is not enough.” Vicky sighed as she folded theletter. She knew she was wise, butwisdonrwvas not easy. She could nothave defined her reasons for notmarrying Francis Ordway, but shehad no doubts as to the rightness ofher decision. She returned to the house to findher mother still in the kitchen. "Sitdown, my dear,” Mrs. Hewitt toldher, "and read me the news whileI peel apples for the pies.”Vicky liked to read the news toh«r mother.

YEARONE HUNDRED MILLION LISTENING— From Pelham Reid —Quality guaranteedEver since the last war the foroesof Moral Re-Armament have been inaction, training men for the MoralRe-Armament of the nation*. Dr.Frank Buchman, began in 1921 inOxford quietly to prepare for this, because he was convinced that it was possible for the men and nation* of the world to accept the direction of God. Men made this experiment, the direction of God became the motivat­ ing power in the lives of men and wo­ men of all classes, races and creeds, and a nucleus was formed of people al] over the world who were prepared to follow, without compromise, the guidance of God to bring about the Moral Re-Armament of the nations. Since the crisis of September, 1938, at which time the forces of M. R.A. were gathered at Interlaken for a World Assembly, the idea of men and nations accepting the auth­ ority of God in their lives has caught with lighting npeed, the imagination of men throughout the world. On July 19 in Hollywood Bow], the objective of M.R.A. was | announced—one hundred million people al! over the world listening to God, beginning with the week-end of Dec. 1, 2, and 3. During that week­ end the press, radio, and fihns were used to let millions know of the ex­ periment of listening to God, and to teach them to discover from Him the kind of world we allvwant. From Great Britain this month the Ear] of Athlone, uncle of His Majes­ ty the King, told the British Empire and the world what this experiment would mean. “Moral Re-Armament stands for a change of heart,” he said. "Its purpose is the practical application by everyone everywhere of the standards of honesty, purity, and love. It calls on us to make the will of God the guiding force, as for individuals, so for homes and nations.” Joseph Hallsworth, 1938-39, Chair, man of the British Trades Union Con- Mr. "and~ Mri iF. Thompson and i gross, which represents six million i-—.,—a k -w v»nr viaitni* workers, recently sent this message to Dr. Frank Buchman, initiator of <he movement, “The need for Moral Re­ Armament is more urgent than ever. I promise you all the support in my power.” In a call to the citizens of Britain, 400 Lord Mayors;. Lord Provosts, Mayors and city magistrates said, "Here is a world force make war unnecessary. Britain civic authorities are sum­ moning their fellow citizens to share with them in this world-wide plan of listening to God. We call on you to play your full part in this highest form of national service.” For the Americas the program was inaugurated by Hon. .William B. Bankhead, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, broadcasting from Washington. "We stand today at a decisive moment in history,” he said. ‘If western civiliz­ ation is to be preserved in the Am­ ericas, M.R.A. must become the mainspring of our national life and the touchstone of policy, both at home and abroad. , On Dec. 2, in a world broadcast, Dr. Buchman presented a pageant of personalities who have begun to lis­ ten to God—a negro school teacher, a British mother of five sons now serving with His Majesty’s Forces, mia LIONHAS WINGS .MEnfOKHON WTHHCHMSSON — 2ND FEATURE — THE JONES FAMILY — IN —‘DOWN ON THE FARM’ — ADDED — ‘BRITISH NEWS” GlenwootL were New Year visitorswith their daughter, Me*.

R.P. Wisner, Oxfordshire race horsetrainer, a Jewish house painter, andMrs. Edison Hughes, widow of the late Thomas A. Edison. This is a brief outline to date, of the response to the call to experi­ ment with the power and illumination of the Living God. The statements and radio addresses made in Europe, Canada, and the United States during recent weeks have been gathered to­ gether in a booklet called, “The Rise of a New Spirit." The booklet is essential to a clearer understanding of what Moral Re-Armament means and of what must happen to men and nations if a new spirit is to come to the world. It is the expression of certainty that a new spirit is rising up within the nations,' and that its spread will continue in 1940. The immediate aim of Moral Re-Armament is to make 1940 M.R.A. year. CAPITAL AND LABOR AID IN WAR TASK Hon. N. A McLarty’s New Year’s Message V oice sPraise of Co-operative Effort Ottawa, Decombor 30—The war , clouds which a year ago were some-1 times black, sometimes rifted—butalways menacing have finally broken; | and a democratic, peace-loving coun- ■try finds its people on the advent of [ the New Year faced with the stark reality and awful responsibility of being at war. This overshadowing fact necessarily makes all our nation­ al peace-time effort fade into the background; and, for- four months now, the effective carrying on of the war effort has been the dominating force that has run through all our action and governed all our national life. As soon as possible after war was ' declared, labour made quite dear its position and the extent of its wil­ lingness to participate in its success­ ful prosecution. Through its repre­ sentatives it gave an unequivocal promise of one hundred per .cent, co-operation. In order that its efforts would be successful and would not be thwarted by a few irresponsible and misguided individ­ uals it asked that the Industrial Dis­ putes Investigation Act be extended to cover all war time industries. In addition, the accredited representa­ tives of labour have been mo/t dili­ gent and ipost. helpful in an en­ deavour to iron out grievances and disputes which, in less serious times, might have resulted in friction and loss of time and energy, through in­ dustrial strife. < , It is perhaps too much to hope that there will not be sporadic and local labour disturbances created by the agitation of those who do not re­ ally repru ent labour—but merely themselves—and who feel that their existence will be forgotten unless they can produce some local strife. But the possible act of a few dis­ turbing elements should not make us unmindful of Jhe' unanimity with which the Canadian people have en­ gaged in the prosecution of the war; SALADATEA and one of the reason* for thia hear­ tening unanimity is the splendid at- : titude of labour generally. In view of the eo-operative attitude < of labour generally it would be doubly unfortunate if any attempt were made under the guise of the necessities of war to eliminate or re­ duce those advantages—whether in wages, in hours of labour or in the general standard of living—which have accrued to Canadian labour dur­ ing the present century. I have no doubt that this will not happen. But it must be admitted that just as labour has its irresponsible agitators so there are still some—I trust a very few—employers who begrudge each advance which has been made in bet­ tering the conditions of work and living of those who with their famil­ ies depend upon wages for their daily bread. Both attitudes are equal­ ly inimical to Canada’s war effort. It is only fair to say that even without our national emergency there was a growing realization and ■ appreciation of the importance of the J belief that 'industrial life should not be a continuous struggle betweenI capital and labour and that a frank . and complete recognition of a part-! nership bases was the best for both and essential in the maintenance of our industrial structure. This has best been demonstrated by the wide extension of industrial agreements including voluntary plans for co-op­ eration, such as profit-sharing agree­ ments, stock ownership, accident and health insurance for the worker and his family and various other tangible evidencea'of the growing realization of the necessity for co-operative ■ effort in industrial organization. One of the plans which has shown a remarkably rapid growth is the sale of pension plans isssued by the Annuities Branch of the Department of Labour to employers in favour of their employees. This plan has been in effect less than two years and to^ day over 10,000 employees are pro­ tected. The amount involved in the purchase of these pensions runs into millions of dollars. The plan is de- I signed to the end that a comfortable pension will be provided for employ­ ees when they can no longer carry on in their employment But while our major thoughts must necessarily be directed to the effect­ ive prosecution of the war, there are two peace-time problems which will require careful and continuous con­ sideration. The first of these is the problem of unemployment. While it is doubt­ less true that this problem will be less acute during the war-time per­ iod, those who thought that in the ■ Advent of war the problem would be immediate!}' and automatically sol­ ved, were mistaken. There has, it is true, been some reduction. But even when industry has been keyed to the high tempo produced by war activity, there will, still remain a substantial number who will depend from time to time upon the State for their support. The second of these is the problem of the aftermath of war. It is no: too early to be giving this our earn­ est consideration and our most care­ ful thought The situation which will be created when our Forces on the land, the sea and in the air are re­ quired to return to peace-time ac­ tivities, and when the artificial stim­ ulation of industrial activity created by the scourge of war has been re­ moved, will be a most serious one. But the extent of our post war dis­ location will be largely governed by the forethought and careful plan­ ning that is given to the meeting of this inevitable occurrence—by the avoidance of industrial disputes, by steps tak’en now to avoid undue infla­ tion, by measures calculated to build up a back log against the emergency, by the sense of confidence we can in­ still into our Canadian people, by a vigorous and honest prosecution of the war and by the extent to which we can succeed in marshalling th* vast resources of Canada with a view to banishing hardship, privation and despair from every home. --B1NGJO SACRED HEART HALL Friday, Jan, 5 HAMS BACONBLANKETS Kitchenware • Groceriei Son Life Representative I King St, E.
