Entrance breaking a pane of door and shooting provincial police was gained by glass in the real’ the bolt. The motto of the strong-arm salesman as he looks over his sucker list, “The fool and his money are easily parted.” ******** We must say it again, the,present problem is not to keep'Canada and the United States put of war, but to keep war out of Canada and the United States. ******** The 'present alertness of the Dominion Government in defence matters is directly due to the efforts of an enlightened press. Yet one public man we have heard about would have muzzled that very agency! ******** Britain goes on her quiet way these days, doing what she can to protect the homes of her peoples saying by her conduct, “If you other nations must go about with a chip on your shoulder it’s quite all right with me.” ******** WE UNDERSTAND “Heigh Ho” sighs Brother Lome- Eedy -of the St. Marys Jour- nal-Argus, “■Come to the Fair.” Like ourself he is much beset with coming and going, and longs for a 'period of real work and achievement. ******** And the glory of autumn! That varied carpet of leaves, those glowing sunsets, the meadows ‘with their living green, the sound of droping nuts, th© evergreens, the earnest promise of another sum­ mer, the fragrant, fresh 'plowed fields, the clusteing birds, the mist on hill and in valley of a morning, the star twinkling its message of hope—can there be anything finer? «*••***« TWO SIDES TO IT Next time you hear or read of- the meanness and greed of capi­ talists cud on what Baron Wakefield of Hythe, an English big business man has done for »liis employees on his own initiative. Were it not foi' the baron’s ability his army of employees would not be enjoying these benefits. He announced: (1) Every man and woman employed in the business at home > or abroad would be covered. (2) There would be no 'contributions whatever from em­ ployees; the Chief would stand the whole cost. (3) Every man wiho had contributed to the fund in the past few years was to be repayed, in a lump sum, .every penny, with full interest. (4) Over and above all this, every man employed in the firm was to be given free, a life insurance policy up to a maximum of £750. When some people learn to leave business men of the Baron Wakefield’s type to go their own way, better times will have come. Certain church people and labour agitators, please take notice. ******** QUEER, ISN’T IT? This new prosperity is a funny thing. It is but an illustration of what Barnum said ab-out the fashion prevalent in his day put into a pithy sentence. “If you want to please the people, humbug them.” Folk will do well to cud on one or two thingS, for instance. The dollar before the present financial jokery began was actually worth about 60 cents in good, honest money. If the present way of doing things is carried out it will sink to a much lower real value, and real value is the only value worth considering. One can’t get rich by putting fewer cents into his dollar. That has been tried before this, Second, much of our present business activity is due to the fact that no end of money is being spent on armaments, and armaments, while necessary at the present juncture, are a very ex­ pensive article in the luxury class. For instance, a first-class battleship or fighting plane or other military outfit, becomes obsol­ ete in 10 years. Meanwhile money used therefor has been taken out of the channels that make for progress. It is very like the merchant who 'regards himself as rich because he has in his store a fine firefighting or burglary equipment. It needs neither a prophet nor a seventh son of a seventh son to forecast what is ahead. * * # ♦ ♦'* * ♦ Democracy has been regarded as the best form of government. Now that the <right of the people to rule has been won, many voters do not exercise their franchise. Now that women have ibeen given the privilege of ordination to the ministry of the United Church of Canada, it remains to be seen what will be done about it. So far we see no evidences of falling heavens, The London Free Press has this to say; "The largest Canadian Protestant denomination is the United Church and hence the deliberaions of the council, which is the leg­ islative body, are of more than ordinary interest. Meeting at Ot­ tawa .recently it agreed almost unanimously to admit women to the pastorate. It is the first Canadian Church, and one of the few churches in the world to make this move, in view of the work the Women do in the church it was hard to refuse their demands. How it will work out is another question. When women were granted the franchise there were pictures painted of the fairer sex dominat­ ing Parliament and of a female prime minister, Yet after 15 years of women’s suffrage there are today only two women members of Parliament. Few of the provincial legislatures have elected women. Ontario has yet to return its first lady to the Legislature. The women themselves do not seem to enthuse over members of their own sex as legislators. Our own guess is that now that women have the Tight to become ministers in the1 United Church few will avail themselves o.f the privilege, and fewer still will ever be given pastoral calls.” Diamond Jubilee of Brucefield Church An historic event of more than local interest took place in Bruce­ field recently in connection with the celebrating of the Diamond Jubilee of the United Church congregation. The celebration really began on Saturday when about sixty persons who were once members of the Young People's Society, met to re­ new the friendships of former days. At the service on Sunday, Octobei 4, the special preacher for the day was the Rev. W. D. McIntosh B.A., pastor of - the congregation from 1918 to 1924. At the morning ser- ice the church was filled to its ut­ most capacity and in the evening it was found necessary to instal a loud speaker in the school room so that the one hundred and fifty might not be turned away who could not find even standing room in the church. The music by the choir, as well as their leadership in the hymns was a very fine feature of the services, as well as the quartette rendered by four formr members, Mrs. John Muroch, Mrs. W. D. McIntosh, Mrs. Jno. Snider and Mrs. John Innes. On Monday the ladies of the con­ gregation excelled themselves in put­ ting on a i ecord-breaking fowl sup­ per. Eleven hundred and two tickets were sold at ’the door. This large number were all taken care of by the ladies and were loud in their praise of the hospitality shown to them. | After the supper a concert, which ] was much enjoyed, was given by the “Favourite Four” of London. Again the church was more than filled and the loudspeaker again did duty in the school room. On Tuesday tne Fresbytery of Huron of the United Church held its October meeting in Brucefield, as well as the Girls’ Work Board of Huron County. The Presbtyery and the ladies present were entertained to dinner bjr the members of the Women’s Missionary Society. The Rev. Beverley Ketchen, one of Brucefield’s “Old Boys”, gave his popular lecture on Scotland on Tuesday evening to an audience which comfortably filled the church auditorium. The Presbytery was represented by its chairman, the Rev. Chas. Cum­ ming, of Walton, who brought greetings to the congregation on the occasion of their Diamond Jub­ ilee. The Rev. A. W. Shepherd, of Egmondville, also conveyed the greetings of his congregation to the friends in Brucefield. Mr. James T. Scott, of .Seaforth, by rendering his two pleasing solos, added much to the enjoyment of the evening. On Friday evening a get-together social time fox* the congregation and visiting friends was held. At this meeting letters were read from former members who could not be present at the celebration. On Sunday, October 11th, Rev. I. Hall Woods, a former pastor preach­ ed and the Rev. C. A. Mustard, B.A.. of Toronto one of Brucefield’s na­ tive sons preached in the evening. —Huron Expositor West Huron Teachers’ Convention Teachers of West Huron, in con­ vention unanimously passed a hesc- lution asking that a minimum sal­ ary of $800 per year be fixed for public school teachers. Of the 135 pedagogues present,, some stood on their feet and others' waved their arms with shouts of “Yes, yes,” to give approval of the resolution. About 80 per cent, of the delegates present were from rural schools where salaries have been re­ duced, in some cases as much as 40 per cent, during the last five years. Other resolutions passed dealt with the internal workings of the school system. Speaking for the Teachers* Feder­ ation, Dr. Joyce Boyes, of Forest Hill, deplored the fact that public, school teachers did not receive the recognition they should, as compar­ ed with a secondary school teacher. The task of the primary school teacher was equally as important and often much more arduous, the speaker emphasized. G. Roy Fenwick, provincial super­ visor of music for Ontario, in dis­ cussing “teaching of music’’ said it should have a place on the curricul­ um if for no other reason than the beneficial effect music had on char­ acter. Dr. Liddy, professor of psychology of the University of Western Ontario speke on “Adapting the School to the Child.” Splendid papers were given by Stewart Beattie, of Varna, on “Com­ munity Leadership” and by Miss Lila, McCallough, of Woodham, on “The Ethics of the Teacher.”. The paper of Miss Evelyn Clarke, of Centralia on "The Aim of the Teachers,” also was particularly good. R. Stonehouse, secretary, announc­ ed that the registration of the as­ sociation was the largest since 1930. Officers elected were: Honorary president, W. H. Johnston, Exeter; president, Joseph Creech, Exeter; vice-president, Miss P. Penfold, Kip­ pen; Secretary-Treasurer, R. Stone­ house, Goderich; delegate to O.E.A., Miss P. Penfold, Kippen. Renew Now!
