a picture this Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, “The Lion Has Wings,"
which should, and no doubt will be
seen by everyone in Ingersoll and
surrounding district It is produced
by the sanction of the British Gov
ernment and a large percentage of
the proceeds goes to the government
treasury. 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

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.
THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN. 4, 1940More Horace on Canadian FarmsTh** home seems to be holding his own in Canadi,despite the tnresuh made on hi« domain by motorvehicle*. Total horses on Canadian farms in 1939 numbered 2,824.340 m compared with 2,820,700 lastyear, an increase of 3.440, according to the Agricultural Department of the Canadian National Railways.RAILROADS DID FINE JOB MOVINGTROOPS SEAWARD— From P«lh«m Reid —There will be general agreement with the state
ment of Hon. 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.

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.

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

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.

Members of the 1940 Municipal .
Council:
To you and to all the people of
Ingersoll, I should like to express my
appreciation of the honour con
ferred on me in being elected as
mayor of the town. I realize that
the honour carries with it a heavy
responsibility and I hope I shall be
able to fill the position creditably.
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.
Let us have the best interests of
the people always in mind and we
shall make Ingersoll a better town in
which to live.
Wishing you ail the compliments
of the season, I am
Respectfully yours, •
J. G. MURRAY, Mayor.

DEATH IN BUGGY
Rattle Set Fire by' An Older
Brother, Brought Death To
Nine Month Old Nona Helen
Logan.
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.

Dear Sir:
Under' the direction of the
Ontario library school, Toronto,
I am preparing a thesis on the
history of the newspaper* of
Oxford County. It would be a
great help, if I could see old
copies of any of the former
papers, with the exception of
the first two published, the
Woodstock Herald; and the
Monarch, which I have already
used. Papers published from
1848 to 1885 would be of par
ticular interest
Would anyone who could
supply information about these
newspapers please communicate
with me at once, as the thesis
must ibe completed by the end
of January.
Yours truly,
(Miss) Elsie Sumner.

the other. “Buried the hatchet?"
“Deep. Anne's a wonder, Elinor.*'
“I thought you always knew it"
"1 did, but I'm learning it again."
When they were ready to go Eli
nor said, "You must come and see
us, Anne. And we’ll show you our
dogs, David and I. We have some
wonderful ones, haven't we, Garry?”
"Yes. Elinor’s specializing in
hunting breeds, Anne. Setters, point
ers and beagles.”
"I have Charles’ dog. He’s a
beauty." Anne spoke without think
ing, and her cheeks flashed as she
became aware of their curiosity.
mustn’t think I’m forgetting.Some day I am coming back toyou and to my island.”Vicky, reading the letter, wondered. Would Anne ever come back?
She was young and lovely, and men
were waiting for her—Garry and alot of others.It was on Friday that Anne’s letter had come, and on Saturdaymorning Vicky talked to her mother
about jL The two women were inthe kitchen, and Vicky was bakinga cake for Sunday supper."It isn’t within the bounds of
Francis was aware that here was
a different Elinor from the one he
had known. David had waked in her
something which had never before
been waked.
David had sinned against his
friend. He had sinned against
society. But there was something
about him that was holding Elinor,
commanding her respect as he,
Frands. had never commanded it.
He said gently, “I hold no grudge
against David.”
"You were always splendid,” she
said, and he smiled a little at the
extravagance of her praise
Her beauty still shone * and
sparkled, but it left him cold. "Go
back and tell David,” he said, "to
let the past bury the past. 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. "Nothingfrom Miss Anne this morning,” hesaid.“I had one yesterday.”

"I think she will I’m not sure it
will be*the best thing for her. But
I’m selfish."
“And Vicky.”
"Vicky will go back to the
school”
Elinor glanced at him. 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

“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. Tonight."
"Anne, you’re an angel You
ought to be Up i here instead-of the
wax ones." ' ’
They laughe d together and Elinor,
coming down, looked from one to.

others. 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

Garry’s buckle. My complexion istaking on a most marvelous suntan to set off my white sportsdresses, and I am by way of bringa great success, though I say itwho ikoddn’i l mfaT my school

“How is she?”
“Marvelous.”“Ever coming this way again?”“She says she is.”“The children miss her.""Everybody misses her."He drove on and Vicky sat down
on a rude wooden bench to read her
letter from Francis. 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. Things that Congresswas dbing, and the ’President, and
the marriages and deaths.Today as Vicky glanced down hereyes caught a familiar name amongthe death, notices and she lookedagain:“P A TTER SON: At Cairo,Egypt, Margot, wife of ClariesPatterson . .

The reply of Private Jones was

MAITLAND— THEATRE -1940 — M.R.A. 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,

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.
