S. $2.00War Service League Sponsored Reception for British War Brides Following the evening service in St James’ Anglican Church on Sun­ day, the War Service League of the parish, of which Mrs. J. E. Gayfer is president, sponsored a reception and social period, honoring a num­ ber of English war brides who havg come to Ingersoll and district to make their homes. The rector, Rev. H E. Merifield presided, and intro­ duced the brides, extending a Wel­ come to the parish. Gifts of hymn­ prayer books are to be made, but as these were unavailable at present, each received a letter from the parish explaining that they will be presented as soon as they can be purchased. Mr. John Barnes, people’s warden, assisted the rector in pre­ senting the letters. The brides are as follows: Mrs. Ralph Poole, Mrs. Max Cole, Mrs. Joan Granger, Mrs. Thomas Redford, Mrs. Charles Kelly, Mrs. .James Turk, Mrs. Donald Turk, Mrs. Jack Matthews, Mrs. Bruce McDiarmid, Mrs. Thomas Todd, Mrs. Ralph Wil­ liamson and Mrs. George H. Smith. Mayor Charles W. Riley extended to the young Irbies, the official wel­ come to the town and parish, and wished'them every happiness. Another guest of honor at the reception was Major Walter Gilling, who is spending a 30-day furlough ■with his parents in Watford and is visiting for a few days at the home of his sister, Mrs. W. Middleton, King street west, town, after serving overseas for five years as assistant senior chaplain overseas forces. Major Gilling in a brief but most interesting address extended a hearty vote of thanks on behalf of the boys of the parish serving over­ seas to the St. James’ War Service -League for the many parcels and letters received regularly, also from members and friends and from the rector, which mean so- much to them away from home. Special mention was made of the pictures each boy had received at Christmas of the interior of the church since its reno­ vation and also one of the honor roll containing the names of all those who have enlisted from the parish. In addressing the war brides, Major Gilling wished them every happiness in the land of their adoption, re­ minding them that their would be times when they would, feel despair and strangeness due to the different customs from that in the Old Lhnd, but was sure that-with patience and understanding whic'h both they and thb pdople of Canada would be . called upon to put forth, this would be overcome. In closingjlajor Gill­ plug asked for the continued prayers of the Congregation • for ■»'the.,boys overseas and for victory. .. < Delicious’ refreshments were ser­ ved later in the evening,'the table with a lovely cloth of cut work being centred with a silver bowl of pink flowers and lighted green tapers in silver holders.

A&ell, Tom Shelton, G. F. Smith and J. E. Powell. The letter from the latter is published herewith in part: Dear Friends of St. James’ War Service League, just a few words in appreciation for the .swell letter and pictures of our church and the honor roll. Those little things bring a chap back to the fond memories of the good things he left behind. I grew to manhood with our little chureh and believe "me, I've never seen it look so fine. The new pipe organ must be a dandy. I’m hoping it won’t be long before my chance comes to hear it. The parcel arrived in first class condition, and thanks very much. Parcels are a welcome addition to our diet, which is mostly hydrated foods. We had something a little different for our Christmas dinner. We’vp ranged far and wide to gather in some food and our bag up to datb is fifteen old hens, two roosters that have seen better days. Three guinea fowl and one turkey, solo. It sure is a job trying to do business with these Italian peasants. Some will take your money, others want chocolate or cigarettes which is O.K., as we save our army issue of chocolate and cigs, for just sucha purpose. The weather hasn’t been anything to write home about. However, as we drive further to the north the heavy frosts should dry up the mud. Ice and snow won't stop us this winter, we are well equipped with rubbers and woollens, to finish* the job us far as Tedische is concerned. Now in closing, let me wish you one and all, a Happy and Prosperous New Year in 1945.

May­ nard, of the United-States Plant, Soil and Nutrition Laboratory, of Ithaca, N.Y., stated: •‘All too many are being led-to believe by' the ballyhoo of advertis­ ing and even by the over-enthusi­ asms of some sdentista that a shot of vitamin* can improve any diet and, in fact, make the nutritional aspects of food selection of minor importance. Those Who discount the ever-all values of foods and- disre* gard the fact that nature may have endowed them with values as yet undiscovered need the admonition of Hamlet:—“There are.more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” From the long­ term standpoint it appears that a program for the production of foods of superior nutritional quality and for conserving’ their nutrients from ’8ie‘ Zacm to the table - should take precedence over any. general pro- gAm of food or‘diet fortification.” ' In Canada* the Department of National Health (y.4 Welfare con­ tinues to take the stand that, since vitamins gonststute only a few of the numerous dietary factors re­ quired to ensure good health, and since only a few of the vitamins, known and unknown, in natural foods can be obtained chemically that the goal should be to try and obtain all requirements from the proper choke of natural foods. The position token bv the Depart­ ment of National Health and Wel­ fare is strbngly supported by the Canadian Council of Nutrition.

Commander Whit­man, an old friend of the family, en­deavors to get a waiver for Lester so becan join V-7, but after weeks of waitingLester learns they still insist on twoyears of college moth. He is successfulm joining tbe V-5 Naval Aviation and issent to Anacostla Naval Base. Aftermaking hla first solo flight he gets athxee-day furlough and visits bls folksIn Chicago. Tbe furlough ended, heleaves for Corpus Christi, where be soongets acquainted with service-type air­craft, another feature of basic training.Later he goes for a wild ride in atrainer and meets a South Americanofficer as he steps out. He is scheduledfor a solo flight in a P-bost and looksforward to the hour with great appre­hension. "Docs it do any good?” I asked,always on the alert for any blackmagic. He had already climbed intothe plane mumbling to himself.While wc were checking the mag­netos and warming the engines, Bengave himself a thorough priming."Be on guard, Ben. Watch forlow oil pressure and leaks. One mistake and it’s all over. Easy,Ben, boy. Easy now. Forget it.There aren't any leaks. Hello, lookat that cylinder temperature."This steady flow of intcrsclf com­munication made it plain tliat Iwas riding with two Crandalls.There was Ben, the calm, imper­ turbable Crandall, who rode into the jaws of death tfco jumps aheadof the Light Brigade. And there wasBen. the jittery Crandall, who sawdisaster lurking in every’ corner andhiding in each cloud. Conflict be­tween the two was constant anddreadful. The ego that emerged was not an ego you wanted to be alone with in a P—boat for thefirst time. I began to miss Mr. Will-son. Even Mr. Willson sleepingbecame highly desirable.Just before we slid down theramp, the mechanic stuck his headinto the compartment, put a bare,hairy arm around each of us, and said:"Listen. Post and Gattcy, the ob­ject o' this trip is to get back safe,get me? I don’t know how you fig­ure to do it, and I don’t care, get-,e? But I got a wife and two kids,• i I •■ r-it to see them sweet faces at the table tonight, get me?”Having delivered his memorablepiece, he went back to his station,little knowing he had tossed aboutthree quarts of morale overboard. It took Ben several soliloquies toreach a point where dash and dar­ing were once more appealing. Themechanic might as well haveclimbed out with a knife and cut a six-foot hole in the wing. *"Forget him, Ben, you’re sure. You're an .aviator. You’re a pio­neer,” muttered Ben, the recklessCrandall, climbing back out of awell of despair.He wanted to fly first and get itover and done. Aviation, I think, h.ns known few more uncertain mo­ ments than those required to makehis take-off. As the plane sped overthe water, calamity closed In onBen from all sides. He fought itback, and then he retreated. He-- almost capitulated, and then hestumbled uncertainly to victory."No, it won't come off the wfeter. It’s stuck. There. No, it won’t fly.Something's wrong, Ben. There. Oh,there. No. -Yes. Wtftoh it, Ben.Watch it carefully.”.

You’llland on the Nuceeo Hotel.”"Not the Nucceo. Beni” I mur­mured, twisting anxiously.By replacing application withsupplication, we managed to sur­vive. The flight proved nothingaeronauUcally, but it established beyond doubt the power of prayer.A landing successfully consummat­ed with the floats up was enoughevidence to me. The plane mustKive been charged with ssqxm.itur-al Influence. Ben began to feel this, too. It came to him that he could do no wrong.• “HaUalujah, brother!" he cried happily, landing thirty degrees outof the wind.The bravado was pleasipg relieffrom the constantly implied thneatsat oblivion. I felt like a Treasuryofficial standing beside Jay Gouldon Black Friday. Ben, however, w m in no,*uch posfiZon to taunt the Gods. As a i^ndentisl policy "We have been saluted,” he said lowly. "For the first time.” days I felt like California beingtaken into the Union again.There was a batch of excited mailfrom home. Uncle Ted spoke forthem all when he wrote:"I always contended that what you needed was discipline. We are all elated by your commission andfeel sure that it has done you a* world of good. V for victory, Un­cle Ted,"• I never saw Uncle Ted In mylife. He moved to Manitoba be­fore my bones formed, convinced, even then, that nothing could save me but regimentation. Everybodystill determined a better man wasevolving. Although I knew it wasimpossible to disappoint them, Inever understood this implication.All I could reason was that I hadtaken the cure, and if I was not "better” now, I never should be.Graduation was a simple, breath­less affair. There was no time forelaborate Arthurian rites. I thoughtof keeping a candlelit Vigil untildawn, but the chapel was locked.It was just as well. It might have been disastrous to preface .ny com­ missioned days by playing Camelot.You can explain almost anythingwhen you are a cadet, but the Navy -isn’t ready yet for brand-new en­signs who carry on like Sir Gawain.The ceremony itself fell on theWednesday and Saturday of each week.' Our group drew Wednesday.After breakfast on a fine April morning, we marched in military fashion to the Administration Build­ing. There the Admiral gave ashort address, finishing with, "Offi­cers dismissed."I was knighted before I knew it.Hack In the room I packed and got ready to leave. Red Run en­tered. "Good day, Ensign Dowd.” Hesolemnly extended his hand."Good day, Ensign Run. A verygood day to you.”Ensign Run threw himself on the bunk and supervised my fight with the suitcase."You know,” be said suddenly,nodding his head wisely, "this •has sure done /ou a lot of good.”I straightened up abruptly, bang­ing into an open drawer. “What are you talking about?" I demanded."Well,” he stuttered in surprise,"I don’t know exactly.”We walked together out of thebarracks.and up to the bus stand.On the way a cadet approached. When he came within five paces, he■ did a strange thing. He snappedhis right hand, thumb beside thepalm, over his right eye, keepinghis forearm stiff and the lower armat a right angle to his shoulder. Ashe passed, he snapped it smartly downward. It seemed to me a cu­rious and unfortunate nervous af-Red stopped still in his mally it was enough to send Bendiving or rocketing to a safer alti­tude. Our aggregate speed wasclose to three hundred miles anhour. The interval was being rap­ idly diminished. Not until we were uncomfortably close was there atelltale shriek from Ben, disclosingthe fact that he had been caught un­aware.•‘Looks bad, Ben. It looks awful-ly bad. Relax just for a minuteand you’re cooked.” "Come on, Ben,” I prayed ur­ gently. ""He turned violently to the right,but the other plane turned the sameway. He swerved to the left. Theother plane followed. We weremaking the synchronized move­ments of two pedestrians tryinghelplessly to avoid each other on the sidewalk. Looking around, I saw the mechanic who had wan­dered forward to look things over.The situation had frozen an expres­sion of terror on his face. Bentried more hounded dodges. Wewere scarcely a hundred yardsapart now. To Ben the cause waslost. He gave up. He turned to me with the resigned detachment thatgives a mystical insight to men’slast words."Can you imagine death?” he,asked blankly.I could smell it. That was enough. Lunging against the yoke with allmy strength, the plane went plum­meting downward. We skimmed un­der the other, straightened out'andcollected ourselves.Ben talked gently to Himself."Take me home,” croaked the mechanic. A wife and two chil­ dren gave, him a greater stake ifilife.Back at the base, Ben overflowedwith joy.."It’s all over, Ben. You’re fin­ ished. You’ve got your wings.” He hurried out. When he got offthe plane, a group of laughing crew­men laid hands on him and heavedhim off the ramp into the water.It did not seem unnatural to me.Someone should have held him un­der. Then another group merrily grabbed me. I started to resist and strike out to the oppressors.“Cut it out, Mack," grieved oneof the sailors. "It’s traditional.Wien a cadet finishes, we throw himin the Bay."vOh,” I said, giving myself up.Four of them sent me sailing over the ramp.

It is that much of the growing political bitterness and much of the direct responsibil­ ity for an earlier general election can be attributed to the excessive and aggressive political tactics in this period of the war. These charges are reaching a climax since the de­ feat of Defence Minister McNaugh­ ton in the by-election because it is alleged openly that political parties should not have broken conventions that have been followed in Britain and Canada by entering candidates in a by-election which had been held for the sole purpose of getting a Cabinet Minister into Parliament. It is known along Parliament Hill, of course, that lately political agitation was approaching rapidly a climax but it must be stated that there have been numerous causes for political controversy and sharp differences of opinion. However, the main point to bear in mind is that a general election in 19-15 had been inevitable from a legal angle and for several months it had been an op secret in Ottawa that the party in power as well ns the ©position were preparing for such an early event in 1945. Moreover, there have been - many instances in Canada's past ; •when Ministers of the Cabinet were , opposed in their attempts to-be i elected in by-elections. The first in- ; stance was as far back as April 20, 1869 and there have been about 34 < cases since th* J time. These other : Ministers, who were opposed in by- i elections, have included such famous < names in Canada’s past as Sir Wil- < fred Laurier, Sir Charles Tupper, ; Sir George Foster, Sir Francis i Hincks, etc. and in our qwn time 1 such events have marked the careersof Premier King, Hon L. LaFleche,Hon. Louis St Laurent, Hon. Hum­phrey Mitchell, etc. Therefore, it isa serious fallacy to assume that the political bitterness as well as tumult that culminated in the strong aggressive opposition to Defence Minister McNaughton in the by­ election, nor the tactics in political circles which are preceding a general election, can be blamed on any ex­ cessive political agitation at this time, though such a popular idea seems to be sweeping across Canada. announced in Ottawa. The Canadianrepresentatives will be HowardChase, Chairman of the Board ofGovernors of the C.B.C., ErnestBushnell, director-general of pro­grammes of the CZB.C., and thechief engineer of this organization,Gordon Olive. The main purpose ofthis meeting will be to discuss post­war plans for the exchange of pro­grammes within the British Empire. SEARCH FOR DESERTERS UNAVOIDABLE RATIONING It has been indicated in Ottawa by a high official that the rationing of sugar “now and for some time to come”, was unavoidable, especially since sugar must be supplied to liberated Europe. GRANTS NOT TO BE HELD UP With reports of some deserters and absentees from the home de^pnee army being supposedly in United States and others having returned out of the 6,300 originally claimed overdue from leave, search is con­ tinued for the mien according to evidence along Parliament Hill. Moreover, it is pointed out in the capital that the Provost Corps has the authority to stop anil to question anyone in such roundup of deserters since this body is empowered to ex­ amine and to detail for further in­ vestigation a civilian on the basis of the Order-in-Council of June 9 last when an amendment to the National Registration Regulations brought about this power. for BETTER SLEEP.

THE CANADA The Minister of National Health and Welfare, Hon. Brooke Claxton, has stressed in the capital that fam­ ily allowances do not infringe on pro­ vincial rights in any way whatsoever and constitute the exercise by the Dominion Government of its power to spend the money that it raises. In' other words, the Minister indi­ cated that there is actually nothing the provincial governments have to do to make family allowances oper­ ate since the department will be dealing direct with the parents. He added that there may be some little added expense and more difficulty in administration where the provin­ cial governments do not co-operute fully. However, there can be really nothing provincial governments can do to buck family allowances, These explanations were offered by the Minister in regard to recent declar­ ations on family allowances by Premier George Drew of Ontario and Premier Maurice Duplessis of Quebec, with the Minister emphasiz­ ing that there is going to be no hold­ ing up of family’ allowances. ALLEGATIONS OF PLATFORM In regard to the story of five points being inserted in a new Lib­ eral Party platform, as alleged in a Quebec newspaper, it must be stated that Prime Minister King has shown in- the p&t to be somewhat in fav­ our of a distinct flag for Canada as well as a national anthem. Then again, he was not opposed to the abolition of appeals to the Privy- Council in Britain when this was raised prior to this war. On the two other points, it must be asserted that it is possible for the Government of Canada to recommend the appoint­ ment of a Canadian to be a Gover­ nor-General, if such should be do­ ited by the Federal Government, but there is nothing definite in this capital about Canada’s possible entry into the Pan American Union, though this may take place under certain conditions. These were the five main points alleged in a report in Quebec abyut a new platform for the Liberal party. NEW RECORD LOWER REVENUES It has been disclosed in Ottawa that’revenue from income tax and customers—excise collections in Canada during January totalled $199,265,253 against $253,591,095 in January of 1944, revealing a de­ crease of $54,325,842. Income tax collections were down $19,220,844 to $153,131,993 and customs-excise col­ lections were off $35,104,997 to $46,133,260. RADIO CONFERENCE Thr.ee officials of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation will go to the British Empire radio conference in London this month. This has been The productive operations in this country were greater in the last twelve months than in any other year. This has been revealed in Ottawa and this latest news indicated clearly that the index of the physical volume of business averaged 236.8 in that period as compared with 235.9 in the previous twelve months when, the last maximum was reached in Canada. The index of the physi­ cal volume of business is based upon 66 factors showing the trend of production and distribution, with this latest report emphasizing a re. versal of the downward trend in evi­ dence for the several months prior to this change.—(Reproduction Pro-hi bi ted.)
