Margaret McKellar E. A. To Present Play The Margaret McKellar Evening Auxiliary of Trinity United Church met in the church parlors on Tues­ day evening of last week, despite the intense cold and the snowdrifts, to make plans for the play which will soon be presented. There was a good attendance.. The meeting was conducted by Miss Florence Mac­ Phee, convener. The prayer was offered by Miss Betty Facey and the Bible leesson read by Mrs. How­ ard Horton. Two vocal solos were given by Miss Catherine Kidd, with Mrs. Ewart Bartley accompanying on the piano. Mrs. Alan Horton and Mrs. Ewart Bartley contributed instrumental duets. The president, Mrs. Gordon Dan­ iel, took charge of the business, making plans for the play.

FINE ADDRESS GIVEN AT Y’S MEN’S MEETING Mr. Murray Ross of Toronto, sec­ retary of the Y.M.C.A. National Council was the speaker at the Y’s Men’s Club Friday evening. He pres­ ented a very inspiring address on "Young People of Canada,” and the part the Y.M.C.A. is taking in the war services and in the preparation for peace. The young people arc carrying a tremendous responsibility at this time. Mr. Ross urged that we try to understand what is going on in their minds, and realize the forces and factors of life that have moulded these young people. Most were born during or after the last war—"a war to end all wars, peace must reign.” Thus they pos­ sessed tremendous resentment against wars. Peace propaganda filled the air. hundreds of youth movements were organized on the basis of peace. They naturally de­ veloped this idealistic concept and firmly believed that they would never participate in a war again. Pacificism became ti.eir philosuohy. The second influencing factor was the depresion. One has to be on the dole or on relief before he can ap­ preciate what tortures not only of body but mind, these people suffered. They felt they were sitting on the outside looking in, that they did not belong to this world but were cast­ offs. There wasn’t anything they could do about it, the affairs of the country were run by someone else. This ordeal affected their souls very deeply. Another factor is the theory of relativism. Our fathers knew what was right and what was wrong, what was good or bad. It is differ­ ent now they say, it doesn’t matter what ybu’ do but how much of it you do, apd it depend* on who does it. This theory is us»d as a m^ans of escape. Thus we find them doing anything they wished without posses- ing the feeling of doing wrong, or in other words they had no appre­ ciation of the enduring qualities of life.zThese same people haven’t a clear- cut conception of life or religion. They have no life goals, 'they don’t know where they are going or what they are going to do. ” Confusion reigns in their minds. What do we find today on visit­ ing these men in army or air f<rfce centres? Their morale is surprisingly good. It is ama;ting what they are going through and • what they arc preparing themselves to go through in order to fight and win our battles. They feel that this is a job that .has to be done and we’re here to ’do it This does not mean that they,have short memories, “Things have got to .be different after*' this war,” they say. Revolutionary thoughts go through their.*.minds and'here is where educational guidance Is re­ quired. What part is the Young Men's Christian Association playing in this situation? It is'doing some things to moke our fighting forces more con­ tented. Perhaps this major role is providing recreation for the boys, such as variety shows, movies, bingo, dances and sports of all kinds. It is improving when 'better equipped and better staffed. It is performing hun- (Continued on page 2) Salvage Collection of Glass To Be Stopped Mr. E. -H. Albrcrtigh, chairman ofthe Ihgarsol], War Salvage Com* mittee, received word this week from the Salvage Director at Ottawa to stop the. collection of any kind of glass, broken or otherwise.

McCowell, John street, was on January 25th, but in order to have Rev. Father John McCowell, second youngest son, celebrate the solemn mass of thanksgiving in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Mr. and Mrs. McCowell decided to change the day to Satur­ day, the 23rd. Owing to the previous illness of Mr. McCowell last summer, the golden wedding couple decided to spend a Iquiet day, but fate, in the form of many loved ones, decided otherwise and great pleasure and surprises^were in store for Mr. and Mrs. McCowell. Their son John, (Rev. Father Mc- Cowell and his superior, Rev. Father Phelan, rector of St. Martin’s, Lon­ don, were tho first visitors to arrive on that eventful day. Then the representatives of St. Martin's arrived with a beautiful basket of flowers for the bride and a lovely wallet for the groom, together with a magnificent scroll, hand painted in marvellous colours, a truly great work of art. This surprise was plan­ ned by Father Phelan and parish­ ioners of St. Martin’s in honour of the golden jubilee of the parents of their beloved Father, John Mc­ Cowell. Father McCowell's gift to his par­ ents was an exquisite family album, bound in cloth of gold and beauti­ fully hand painted and with words running all through in very fine writing, appropriate to all the ages and phases of the various photo­ graphs, taken from the earliest years, before their marriage, to the present day and including three gen­ erations of McCowell’s. This beau­ tiful volume was the handiwork of the Sisters of St. Joseph and a friend of Father McDowell. There was a profusion of exquisite flowers and magnificent gifts, and truly words cannot describe the ap­ preciation and joy of the recipients of all this splendour, when one ex­ pects little and gets so much, it seems nothing short of a miracle, for after all, the gift that counts most is love, and loving-kindness is a miracle whose source must be deeply rooted in our faith. On the dining table, laden^ with its many gifts, lay a huge pile of telegrams of congrat­ ulation. Among them was read one from the Papal delegate, Indebrando Antonuitti, Ottawa, conveying the Papal blessing. At 10 a.m., solemn mass of thanks­ giving was celebrated in the Church of the Sacred Heart, by their son Rev. J. McCowell of London, with Rev. A. Fuerth, deacon, and Rev. E. > J. Tierney, sub-deacon, both of the Sacred Heart parish. Ralph Williams was master of ceremonies and John Shook, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. McCowell, was conser-bcarer. Rev. A. Fuerth and Rev. W. J. Phelan, extended congratulations to the bride and gjpom- of 50 years, and Mr.^ecchey also offered good wishes on behalf of the congrega­ tion of St. Martin’s Church, when he presented the fine scroll bearing the sentiments of the occasion.

Pre­ senting a story rich in the glories of Canada's past, and a view of the splendour of Canada's future, it is told in Prof. Leacock’s inimitable style. In a preface, written by Mr. Sam­ uel Bronfman, President of the House of Seagram, the reasons for the publication of this history by one of the country’s leading indus­ trial concerns, are explained. Mr. Bronfman says, in part, that the publication "is the result, both of an appreciation of the extreme timeli­ ness of the subject, and of a con­ sciousness of the wider civic interests of industry . . . We feel that Appen­ dix A to each and every baJance- sheet. an appendix unwritten yet un­ deniably there, is the general history of the Dominion, itself a projection in deeds of the personality of all its citizens. That, in fact, is the larger balance-sheet, without which all oth­ ers are meaningless, purposeless;, mo­ tion without progress.” Through the perspicacity of this concern, "a great history of a great country by a great writer” has been published, a volume which will re­ BUY FARM FENCE NOW A limited quantity of 842 farm fence for present delivery, 20-30-40 rod rolls, at....................56c per rod AJio a few Heavy Duty GEM ELECTRIC FENCERS At $18.50 complete NEATSFOOT blL100% Watecrprooi For harness and all leather goods— Pint bottles............,35c Qiiarts a t*...............65c Harness Oil, per quart..................j.................................35c Epsom Salts ..........................1.............(..........

She suggested "Empire Study,’’ so that they may become acquainted with the true internal affairs of the British Empire, stressing the import­ ance, above nil, to give their time and energy to the great need of the present time—aid and sacrifice for those brave lads who are helping to keep Canada safe and free. Mrs. C, E. Jarmain of London, Provincial Convener of Immigration and Canadianization, was guest speker. She was introduced by Mrs. T. N. Dunn, Honorary Vice-Regent, and gave an address that will long be remembered both by the members and guests present, who .were deeply- interested and filled with admiration for this fine speaker. Space does not permit our giving the whole address, ibut we wish to emphasize certain points. Mrs. Jar- main was thrilled to see the young members of this new chapter and heartily welcomed them, saying that the girls must feel that, they are not just members of an organization, but part of a great national institu­ tion, links in a chain of a nation that is strong and that is a strengthening bond of the empire. Mrs. Jarmain mentioned some items of interest in the vast program of work laid out and carried out by the LO.D.E. in Canada, 8900,000 being spent on war work alone. She told of the unlimited supplies of necessary­ clothing, books, magazines and other help given to the armed forces and bombed victims of Britain, as well as clothing and supplies to the Pol­ ish refugees in Siberia. She cited the fact that although the LO.D.E. issues no uniform, the members are are all having a share in the great and good work and are a veritable "Canadian Women’s Reserve Corps”, forming an army of great strength across Canada and standing ready to serve at all times. Mrs. Jarmain then turned her remarks to peace­ time work, stating that it had not been neglected, and was really stu­ pendous work embracing an outlay of 341,000 in financial aid to help train the youth of Canada for fu­ ture leadership in the past year and that another large amount had been spent in child welfare work and in supplying food for the undernourish­ ed children. She emphasized the fact that it is thought- that back of this great national organization is the solid foundation of Christian prin- cipl.es of right, liberty and justice for all and reminded her hearers that in this time of struggle, when odds seemed all against us, Britons faced the iskue before them, un­ daunted, standing alone during the long period of weary waiting with unexcelled courage. Mrs. Jarmain touched briefly on the many branches of work bringing out the two great phases of I.OJJ.E. work, Canadian­ ization and Education. Mrs. Harold Uren sang beauti­ fully two solos, “O Lovely Night," and "Four Leaf Clover'1, with Miss Dora Harrison her accompanist at the piano. Miss Harrison also played for processional and recessional marches and the National Anthem.' Miss Marian Follick^ educational secretary, charmingly expressed the thanks of the new chapter to Mrs. Jarmain, guest speaker of the even­ ing. The first duty of the new chapter, ■ which 'was also a great pleasure and thrill, was performed by Mrs., Allin Deacon in the desire that a letter of loyal greetings be pent to General McNaughton overseas. This motion was seconded by Mrs. LeRoy Hay- etjek. Miss Eleanore Cornish extended ,the thanks of the group to* Mrs. Somers, Mrs. Uren, Miss Harrison, officers and members of the visiting chapters of lhe LO.D.E. and member of the “Friendship Club” of Trinity United Church. St. James’ Evening Guild Report on War Work There was * splendid attendance at the regular meeting of the Even­ ing Guild of St. Janies* Anglican Church on Tuesday of last week, when Mrs. H. Wilson, Red Cross convener, gave an excellent report Thia fine picture Is part of a series on a hunting trip. You’ll find yourcamera will be of more value to you If you use It to work out picture stories, or In connection with your work or hobby.

At this time I won’t attempt to suggest even a smattering of theways in which photography can be of service to you—there are just toomany—but I’d like to have you think about the possibilities because hav­ ing a definite objective will helpyou build a collection of really in­ teresting pictures.For instance, many people these days are making it their objective to keep the boys in service postedon developments at home, through snapshots. And you couldn’t makebetter use of your pictures. The. men In service always like to re­ceive newsy snapshots which show of the year's work. The new presi­ dent, Mrs. Ken. Staples, conducted the meeting and plans were made for sponsoring ,a Wabasso cotton fashion show on the evening of February 18th. Following is a list of work com­ pleted for Red Cross during 1942: Knitting completed— Nine pairs socks, seven pairs seamen’s socks, 20 aerocaps, six turtle-neck sweat­ ers, two sleeveless sweaters, five girls' sweaters, three pairs mitts, five pairs gloves. Sewing—Thee pairs women’s py­ jamas, five men’s shirts, six girls' skirts, four girls’ blouses, four baby blankets, two hospital gowns, 56 handkerchiefs, one knitted afghan, 20 pairs children's felt slippers, seven large quilts, one crib quilt, three complete layettes. There was an appreciable amount of sewing and knitting done during the meeting. Mrs. F. N.. Horton, Mrs. H. G. Gillespie and Mrs. J, F. Lavery were hostesses of the social period of the meeting, .which was held in the parish hall of St. James’ Church, when the ladies served re­ freshments and an enjoyable half hour was spent. The next meeting will be held at the home pt Mrs.’ F. G. Rich, Cot­ tage Avenue, on February 2nd and will take the form of a social even­ ing. ' FINE ADDRESS “ • (Continued from page 1) dreds of Jittle services for the men, such as musical appreciation hours for those who are lovers of music, providing of quiet private rooms where studying might be undertak­ en. Counselling in War service work is carried on. The,men are anxious to talk and, appreciate the opportun­ ity to talk to someone who is interest­ ed in them. Another important fea- ture of the work of the Y.M.C.A. is the providing of educational books and studies ,under a systematic plan to prepare pen pfor the post war period,* and deals . with the solving of'those problems which exist in so­ ciety today. It has been found that a three fold evening program has been^accepted with the most enthusiasmanamely one which, commences with a^discus- sion group, dealing with current events, psychology, etc., then a re­ creational period, consisting of art­ crafts, music, etc., and then an amusement period. “Where does a fellow get direct­ ion on the enduring values, of So­ ciety!" the speaker asked. ‘The Y, M.C.A. is endeavouring to provide this guida%e in its counselling groups or hull sessions. In order to better equip Itself to tackle this work It holds an annual conference of young men of the Y.M.C.A. from both civil and military life to dis­ what the folks have been doing. They're interested in everything,from the walk you took in the coun­ try to the hour you spent giving old Rover a bath. So make it your objective to take pictures for your soldiers, sailors or airmen. You'llfind it’s fun, and they'll appreciate it tremendously. However, a word of caution. Takethings easy at the outset. Don't try to picture everything at once. A set of four or five pictures which tell a definite story makes the best possible beginning, and such experi­ence will give you confidence and the ability to tackle bigger things. So, right now, give yourself anobjective and start work. Make news pictures of home activities, make aphotographic record of your hobby, let photography help you in yourbusiness. Put your camera to work, and you’ll find it will bring you ever greater dividends in satisfactionand enjoyment 4 John van Guilder cuss the problems which arise. Also a Canadian Youth Commission has been formed which will lead to a process of solving the- problems of young people. It is the drawing up of the blueprints for action, for the government and other societies to follow*. It will be an important his­ toric project, to rally public opinion to solve existing problems and to build a Christian people in a Christian society. Y.M.C.A. Secretary, Jim West, in­ troduced Mr. Ross to the audience and Y’sman Jack Young voiced the heartfelt appreciation of the gather­ ing. Members of the Y. Board were also present to hear the spekaer. President Bert Carr drew the members’ attention to the part the dub is taking in co-operating with the Red Cross in their blood donor clinic and stressed the need of vol­ unteers in order to get the project started. Friday evening the Y’s Men’s “At Home" was held in the armouries. Th* enjoyable dance music was sup- plied by Harold Bingeman and his orchestra. President Bert Carr and Mrs, Carr, assisted by Past President Gordon Henry and Mrs. Henry, re­ ceived the guests. There was a good atendance and all had an enjoyable time.

Hello’ Homemakers! Why is it that everyone utters a( big "u-m-in*’ when the family gathers around the table where big bowls .of soup arc steam­ ing. Is it the aroma and the ciiim-i. . . . ... Arid there will be more exclamations •-if your soup, is really good. How Satisfying, how, delicious soups can be savoured with the simple season­ ings every homemaker can keep on hed pantry shelf. Serving hearty and wholesome soups often during the snappy, cold weather will bene­ fit the health of your family—and your budget. So let’s plan soups as a main course—an easy and satisfy­ ing meal. The water in which vegetables are cooked, left over vegetables, scraps of meat, meat stock, gravy, left-over rice, macaroni—these should never, under any circumstances, be wasted. Keep them in a jar in your electric refrigerator overnight. Aa a good foundation for many n.utntfous soups use 2 pounds of neck pf’multon or shin of veal. Have the butcji^r saw the bones into small pieces. Cut up the meat and brown half of it along with a diced onion in a little fat. This gives better flav­ our and colour to stock soup. Soak the' remaining meat' and bones in cold water about an hour. Then bring quickly to a boil, using "High” heat, but turn back to •’Sim­ mer” at this point to steam for about two hours. An hour before removing heat, add vegetables and seasonings, using a cup filled with diced carrot, turnip, onion and cel­ ery; a sprig of parsley, one bay leaf and three peppercorns. When done, skim off fat and drain. The possibil­ ities of using this stock are endless; add macaroni, noodles, rice, bailey, beans, peas, lentils or sliced veget­ ables. A Nutri-thrift menu suggestion is: a hearty bowl of soup accompan­ ied by cheese biscuits or rolls, ^dish of fruit for dessert and milk as thebeverage unless you are selecting one of the tasty cream soupy National Parks Will Play Prominent Part After The War WATSONS There can be little doubt that Canada's tourist traffic after thewar will be on a much larger .wale than anything in the past. Th© de­sire to travel is at present bein«rdamned up .by circumstances; money which in other times would be spenton vacations is being accumulated inGovernment bond? and war savings certificates; and thousands of youngmen and women in the military ser­vices are getting glimpses of Can­ada which they -will recommend totheir families and friends when they are free to travel after the war. Canada's principal attractions to the vacationist—ecencry and clim­ate—constitute , a resource which iscapable of almo.it infinite expansion, and unlike other resources, is notdepleted by being used. Forests are cut down and disappear; miner­als are dug up and mines are aban- I donod; even farm land may lose its fertility, but the beauty of mountain and ctream, the solace of quietness,the invigoration of cool, fresh air,are literally everlasting. Canada is fortunate in' possessingthese vacation assets on an ulmo.>«,unlimited scale, and in Ravingursured tneir preservation for theuse of the -public by setting the best of them aside in national parks.Not only have they been ».et aside;they have been made accessible. Almost even/ year new areas de­signed by nature co delight the soulot tile vacationist are being opened up to the motorist In 1940 it wastie Banff-Jasper and Big Bend High­ ways, which made available some ofthe fillcat alpine scenery on theNorth American continent, includingthe great Columbia Icefield whichreaches almost to the roadside. In 1941 came the official open­ing of Cape Brecon Highlands Na­ tional Park, where the famous CabotTrail affords vist;..-. of seashore and mountain of never-to-be-forgottencharm; and the Ciiannplain Habita­tion, where the history of more than 300 years i* preseriNd and interpre­ted. And in 1942 th. Alaska High­ way, built in record time as n •mili­tary undertaking, opened * ud what will, with the return of peac«K be­come one of the great tourist areasof the continent. In the past the volume of Can >u iuw-ineomc ’ gruw,,j> whicn spentlittle or nothing- cn uuvci. It tr. ■ hopes now entertained for a recon-sti ueted world are realized, even . i pari, the economic possibility <wtravel will be extended to .a mu.,i lai ger percentage of the people tha>. in the past. And 'the closer associa­tion in which the war has united this continent will undoubtedly result ingreater mutual travel, not only be­ tween Canada and the United States,but also including Mexico and many countries _uf South America. It must be admitted that the national parks were not e-tablished,in the first place, with the main in­tention of developing tourist travel.Originally intended to preserve un­spoiled areas of outstanding beautyor interest, and t<5 serve as .sanctuar­ ies for wild life, they have graduallybecome also.

While for thetime being they are serving mainlypreconditioning centres for thecivil and military population, thepart they will take in bridging the gap between ■war and the econonnyof the new peace is likely to Ioutstanding importance.

WiU®. — TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS Under normal conditions, there I* no doubt that thia episode along Parliament Bill would have attrad- ted nation-wide attention but in the heat of feverish war activities it has escaped heavy publicity, though it is the subject of much conversa­ tion backsta«re in the capital. It is the episode of the Liberal Member of Parliament for Stanstead in Quebec, Robert Davidson, whose case will be examined and determined by the committee on privileges and elections of the House of Commons, this being one of the first cases to be reviewed by this body for the first time in many years. This repre­ sentative was elected in 1940 by a majority of 298 votes. However, a supporter of his defeated French- flknadian opponent took proceedings in court in which he alleged corrupt practices. In the initial trial in court, the petition was dismissed, but an appeal to a higher court was successful, with the election of this Member being adjudged as marked by corrupt practices. When this Member attempted to take this case to the higher court, the Privy Coun­ cil, this right was refused. Conse­ quently, there was an impression along Parliament Hill that an elect­ ion would take place to fill this seat, but this was wrong since the Con­ troverted Election Act provided that the committee on privileges and elections of the House of Commons should examine the case so that it may determine about a new elect­ ion in that constituency, with the case being given to that body fol­ lowing the recess of Parliament in August, 1942. A SALIENT BACKGROUND When thousands of workers in Canada's steel industry recently went on strike, the seriousness of such a move in wartime could not be mistaken by an experienced ob­ server since the Government did not leave the solution of this problem to the Minister of Labor alone, Hon. Humphrey Mitchell. Instead, it was known along Parliament Hill that - the Prime Minister and the Cabinet entered the picture rather quickly and early and there iwere sound rea­ sons for it. In addition to other war­ time reasons, it was recognized im­ mediately. in the capital that steel production played a. vital role in Canada's whole war effort, with (last year’s output reaching the fig­ ure of 2,600,000,000 and this year rising to about 3,700,000,000. With­ in its scope, the war construction, which involved steel, included mer­ chant and naval ships in 19 large shipyards and 68 smaller plants that had orders for over a billion dollars, mechanical equipment of an "extremely large number, tanks and other armored transports which fi amounted to millions of dollars, largeIand small ammunition, and so forth, /all essential and of great import-. // , tance to the war effort not only of /* Canada but of others of the United Nations. These facts, tas well as others which were more publicized due to their effects or nature in the strike, brought the Prime Minister and the Cabinet rather quickly into the dispute without leaving it en­ tirely to the Minister of Labor alone to settle. MOMENTOUS DISCUSSIONS This veteran observer would like to drill into^the ears of the safe, warm and wdD-fed people in every home, office, ' store, farm, factory, institution, or elsewhere in this country far from the battlefields that, while stories from the nation’s capital may seem. to suggest that sometimes their representatives in Parliament may appear slothful, aclf indulgent or quarrelsome in face of the nation’s crisis, yet in reality their representatives, regardless of their political affiliations, are con­ fronted now with almost unbelievable problems and tasks in this most tur­ bulent period of our history. It is no exaggeration in the least to re­ port now that'at no other time or session were the representatives ever engaged in so many activities nor confronted with such heavy respon­ sibilities than at present in order to get the right facts, to discuss the numerous issues, and to reach the momentous decisions. along Parliament HUI Is that at the same time these representatives are looking ahead and preparing for the time when the war will end and the torch of civilization will burn again throughout the world. Instead, it is known along Parliament Hill that some broad post-war plans have been considered and discussed in some quarters with partciular refer­ ence being made frequently now to the post-war economic talks or con­ versations between the two world’s major traders, the United States and Canada, whose respective Govern­ ments have entered into a pact to negotiate not only for a greater and freer trade than ever between them­ selves as well as the betterment of world-wide economic relations but also for the purpose of furnishing to the rest of the world concrete evidence of the ways in which two neighbouring countries may promote by agreed action their mutual inter­ ests to the benefit of themselves and other countries. In other words, the Government in Washington and Ot­ tawa share the conviction that in the post-war period such reciprocity of beneficial relations must form part of a general system of economical in­ terdependence and friendly relations between the nations of the world. Some time ago an agreement was concluded between the Governments of the United States and Canada following an exchange of diplo­ matic notes whereby provision was made for the pattern or framework within which there would be a be­ ginning of talks or conversations be­ tween them and other countries of the United Nations with the object­ ive of establishing now the founda­ tions upon which there may be created after this war a system of en­ larged production, exchange, and consumption of goods for the satis­ faction of human needs in Canada, ii^ United States, and in all other countries which will be willing to join in this great international ef­ fort. In this historic agreement^ the aims are clearly set fortlv-'fhey are “to provide appropriatc^hational and international measures to expand production, employment, and the ex­ change and consumption of goods, which are the matcriaixfoundations of the liberty and welfare of all peoples; to eliminate all forms of discriminatory treatment in interna­ tional commerce; to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers, and gener­ ally to attain the economic objectives of the Atlantic Charter.’’ Obviously, these efforts to lay the bases in this respect by the United States and Canada for a co-operative and close understanding or under­ taking of a just and enduring world peace with a view of securing order under law for themselves and all nations are extremely important for the people of Canada and the breadth of the plans as well as the disCcussions or decisions in advance may evene surprise some representa­ tives of the people. Nevertheless, it is deemed a wise movq to consider them now well in advance so that,when the time arrives for^their proper legislative approval, these economic issues may be more mature and ready for use. There is no lack in alertness in this direction and every possible con­ sideration has been, is being, and will be given to these issues or prob­ lems not merely to avoid'some of the bad mistakes which were made after the last world war'but also to give .support and direction to those post-war plans which aim to keep the torch of civilization alight in Oils country and others.—(Repro­ duction Prohibited.) is really interested in him, that she is only pretending her admiration of the other. How absurd. He knows she would disdain such circumlocu­ tion; she's so honest, so direct, so plainly not interested in him. Well, that’s how it is brother, and why? Simply becauae she’s made that way; simply because Nature, the old bel­ dame, is on the woman's side, and is going to see to it that the man is captured, willy nilly, and she knows that the only way to capture him, to hold him until the fatal day is padsed, is to convince him that he is doing the pursuing. The hunt is the thing. The old dame has been able to instil in the minds of the fair sex. that by unfair tactics alone can she hope to annex the wary- male. So she pretends flight from, instead of flight to, the man of her choice, but the track’s a circular one, you know , and she, with her head start in wisdom, that appears in the guise of womanly indifference, is so far out in front that she has no dif­ ficulty in catching him from behind. Man is not the pursuer even when he pursued. It is she, with her starry- eyed, innocent stare, that completely veils her sinister intent, who pursues by fleeing. A paradox. But of course. How expect anything but paradoxical behaviour from nature’s prime speci­ men of the paradox? r EJ3ENEZER Mrs. R. J.

GUN—FOR BRITISH DESERT BATTERY Many British anti-tank batteries in the Western Desert battlefields have changed their 2-pounder anti-tank guns for 6-pounders. This tank destroyer is superior to the German 15 nun. gun both in range and size of missile projected. Whereas the 15 mm. gun fires a 4’A lb. shell, the British 6- pounder fires a 6*4 lb. shell.

Long ------------------7---------------------------------- When s man wants a wife, what does he do? He goes out after her, seizes her if he can, and completes the operation by marrying her. But not a woman.. She has other and leas direct methods of attack. Sho sees a man, admires him, desires him, and promptly pretends to not have the slightest interest in him. If she is wise in the ways of pursuit, she gives some little indication that ishe may at some future time amend her very low opinion of him, but it’s the merest suggestion of a promise, and mot to be taken too seriously, the poor man assumes. He is, of course, to be led gently by the provocative method to perceive how unworthy he is of ttiXpir one’s graces, but made to understand, too,/that she, being kind, isn’t averse to brightening the life of even such an inferior speci­ men of humanity by a few cursory and inquiring glances. The poor bemused one falls com­ pletely for this kind of illogical wom­ an’s logic or rather woman's instinct, for it is instinct that has taught her that It is sensible to be illogical in her dealings with the sterner sex, if her object is matrimony. No man goes about the matter in this way, therefore he fails dismally to see her game, and even if he were told, as I tell it now, he would not believe it true.

Labatt's wholesale con­ version from road to rail has saved something like 9 millinn tire miles in six months. I MAKING THE TpOLS • . . that will finish th^ job. Employees o f John Labatt Limited turn out parts * for weapons of war. The "non-war” industries of Canada today are making a very definite contribution, in many different ways, to the successful prosecution of the war. Not the least of this extra help for the war effort comes from the breweries of Canada,which, apart from their intrinsic value in help- 'ing to maintain the morale of civilians andfighting men alike, are making noteworthy direct contributions as well. Here, for example, are some of the things one Canadian breweryis doing to help win the war: At John Labatt Limited, century-old brewing concern of London, Canada, all the usual waysof helping the war effort—Victory Bond and War Savings subscripting, “backing” for themen in uniform, advertising in aid of war pro­ jects, and so on—were cheerfully undertakenby both management and employees ... then they looked around for other ways to help. TRAIN ARMY MECHANICS In days of peace, a welcome sight to many a motorist in distress were the huge streamlined transports of Laban’s, which never failed to offer practical help to a car in trouble. Behindthese trucks was a highly efficient maintenance service and it Was this service which suggested an important part of Labatt's extra war effort. Back in-1941, arrangements were completed with the military authorities to operate in the Company girage a trade school for army motor mechanics^ utilizing the facilities of the garage and the Services of the Company’s expert mechanics as instructors. Since then, seven classes of skilled mechanics have graduated from this school, and a great deal of mechan­ized equipment for the Army has been repaired and overhauled by the student mechanics. MACHINE SHOP INSTALLED Then Canada's "bits and pieces'* programme offered an opportunity for a further contribu­ tion. Equipment for a complete machine shop was purchased and installed in the Company's garage. Employees of the. Company’s Hotel Service Division, released from their regular duties through restrictions on services, under­took an intensive course of machine shop training. Machines and men are now engaged in turning out a steady stream of materials for weapons of war. CONSERVE RUBBER AND GAS Months before restrictions were imposed on thi use of trucks, Laban’s began transferring the bulk of its shipping from road to rail and, evfcn now, are far ahead-of the regulations inthia respect. The mileage coverea in the past sirt months is less than one-third of that covered in the same period of last year, and representsa Saving of almost 0,OOO,000 tire miles. ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY The management and workers of this Company know that the present British Government, remembering the experience of Britain during the last war, regards brewing as an essential industry. Munitions production, it has been proved, is damaged if the working min is de­ prived of a reasonable supply of his beer. L O ND O N • CA N AD A I I?

THE BEER SHORTAGE ■7 1 /j N DECEM BER 16th, 1942, the Prime Minister of Can'ada announced that the Government had decided to reduce the sale of beer by 10% for the twelve months dating from November 1st, 1942. Today there is a shortage of beer for consumers amounting to considerably more than 10%. We believe the public and the trade are entitled to a full explanation of the facts. WHY 10% IS MORE^THAN 10% Because the Government announcement ♦ of the cut came (jin the second month after the order became effective, sales for November and December had already . been provided for in accordance with demand. (The per capita consumption of beer has not appreciably increased, but the high level of epiploynuftit has naturally increased the qumber of con­ sumers.) Now’ in order that the cut for the year ending Oct. 31, 1943 should total 10%, a reduction of much more than that is necessary for the first few months of 1943. This "levelling off" process is in progress because it is the only way in which the Government regulations can be carried out. A DISTRIBUTION, FAIR TO ALL We are doing everything possible to assure a fair distribution of the quantities permitted. In the meantime, we would ask you to remember that the new regulations came to everyone without adequate warning, in the second month after the effective date, so that no planning in advance was possible. There is no actual shortage of beer sup­ plies in Canada, since beer is brewed from Canadian-grown ingredients, not required for the war effort; but announce­ ment of the curtailment, coming so late,' has resulted in a more acute shortage than the Government regulations were designed to bring about. We regret that this situation has arisen. We are doing everything possible to reduce any inconvenience that is being experienced by the general public and our friends in the trade.

And usually the photographer. wonders -shy. • There are, I think you. will dla-> cgver, three main reasons why some' amateurs fail to get good picturesof children. First, there Is the mat­ ter of technical mistakes. Second,the picture may not be satisfactory because the subject looks posed anduncomfortable. And finally, failure may be attributed to the fact that the photographer failed to make hispicture a close-op. Technical mistakes are often madeby the most experienced photogra­ phers, and there’s nothing to doabout it except be more careful. You .must focus properly, expose property, and make your picturewithout jarring the camera, or you can’t hope for first-rate results.But there la a good deal you can do about posing the child and m*k- BEAVER IN CANADA'S NATION AL PARKS Baxter.

And thebest advice I can give you is let the child be himself. When a youngsteris relaxed and at ease before the camera, ho is a perfect picture sub­ject, but when you have him stiffly stand.against the side of a bouseor garago while you take his picture, ho Immediately begins to look posedand uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, there’s no reason at all why a child shouldeven look at the camera when hispicture is being taken. If he is busy at play tar work a profile or backview may often be more satisfac­ tory than a full face shot- It mayhave a great deal of charm and ap­peal simply because it suggests that when the picture was taken the sub­ject was unaware of the camera. Taking pictures that way requiresmere patience than ordering thechild to stand still, but it yields ever so much mere pleasing result.*.Try it and you'll sea. • “ John van Guilder Profesaor—-“1 won't begin to­ day’s lecture until the room settles down.

The late Mrs. Hill, who was in her 75th year, was born in England, coming to Can­ ada in 1913, making her home at Foldcn's Corners until about seven years ago when she came to Inger­ soll to reside and where her kind and lovable nature endeared to all with whom she came in contact, and her cheery word and pleasant smile will be greatly missed many. In the Women’s Auxiliary of St. James’ Anglican Church she was a loyal and active worker and faithful in her at­ tendance al the services of the church while health permitted. For the past four months she had made her home with her son, Harold Hill, at Beachville. Left to mourn the passing of a dearly boloved mother arc four sons: Harold, Beachville; Charles, Foldcn’s Comers; Wilford, Clio, Mich;. Leonard, Mt. Morris, Mich., and 13 grandchildren, to all of whom the sympathy of their many friends is extended. The funcnjl was held on Monday afternoon from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home at 3.15 o’clock, to St. James* Anglican Church .where the rector. Rev. H. E. Morifield, conducted an impressive service at 3.30 p.m. Temporary entombment was made in the Ingersoll Mausol­ eum. The service was largely attend­ ed and the beautiful floral offerings also bore silent tribute to the high esteem in which deceased was held. The bearers were: Roy Warren, Wil- bur .Budd, Verne Budd, George Fairbanks, Howard Rawlings and Burton Pullin, Since the begin ing of white settle­ ment on this Continent, the Canad­ ian beaver has been recognized as one of the .most industrious and in­ telligent of animals and as possess­ ing a considerable degree of engin­ eering sagacity. A reminder of this animal’s^kill and industry is contained inyhc story of eight beaver trappAEtti Southern Mani­ toba in AugustW941, and moved to the Fisher RivenFur Project Area, west of Lake Winnipeg. Here they were released, more than 200 miles from where they were born, and their movements carefully observed. One of the eight died but the re­ mainder lost no time in beginning n survey, of the area which was to be their future home. It is claimed that these beaver travelled a dis­ tance of about one hundred miles— up and down streams, around lakes, and through the wide marshes of the area—before finally selecting a spot on which to build their darn. The previous year engineers of the Manitoba Government had also surveyed the area in connection with the development of a wild fur re­ habilitation project, and had marked a site for a control dam. The beaver, it was found, selected a spot for their dam less than 20 feet from where the engineers had placed their marking post. No matter what has been said in the past or may be written in the future to belittle the beaver, it will be hard to convince these Govern­ ment engineers that this animal is not endowed with some sort of natural engineering skill far super­ ior to that of most denizens of the wild in North America, or that he does not merit the distinction of having been chosen one of Canada's National Emblems. It would be erroneous, of course, to assert that the busy beaver is al­ ways active. On the contrary he knows when to work and when io re­ lax, If he worked continuously from the spring break-up until the winter freede-up, he would store a great deal more food than it would be possible for him to consume during the winter months. Likewise if he kept on building his dam ho would raise the water level to unnecessaryheight* and perhaps ruin much of riper came w ^anaaa as- a his food supply. But he raises the I.small child. Since 1919 she had re­ dam only when it becomes necessary to flood a greater, area in order to reach new timber stands to meet his needs. Except to repair damage to the dam or lodge caused chiefly by the movement of ice and spring floods, the beaver takes life easy during summer. With the approach of aut­ umn, however, he busies himself in earnest The old feed sticks from which the bark has been stripped are removed from the food cache below the water and used to rein­ force the lodge and dam. A fresty food cache is put in and anchored down so that it will remain under water until the ice forms. The lodge and dam are (plastered with mud and the beaver’s pre-winter activity con­ tinues until freeze-up. In the early days of Canada's fur trade, the beaver occupied a place of paramount importance. It was es­ timated that before the arrival of Europeans, the beaver population of North America was more than 10 million*. Between 1852 and 1857, the Hudson’* Bay Company sold morethan 'three million beavbr skins on the London Fur Market The heavy­ drain on the supply of this valuable fur bearer continued until quite re­ cent times, when legislation was en­ acted for their protection. This close protection has had a beneficial effect and in many districts the beaver has become much more plentiful. Mrs. Harry Piper Passes Away After Long Illness Following an extended illness, a •well known and respected resident of Ingersoll, in the person of Mrs. Harry Piper, passed away at Alex­ andra Hospital on Monday night.
