DELBRIDGE, Representative, EXETER “SINGING IN THE RAIN” Rev. J. W. Down * * and the me' day and It is eventide on Easter Day, the robins sing a soulful lay. Now I try as best I may to pen what the songster has to say. All hail to you for it i's Spring; my heart is full and I must sing. I have travelled far on tireless wing, my gladsome notes of cheer to bring; My home is here, to this I cling; with notes* of joy t'he air shall ring. > To swell the anthem of the Spring, to redbreasts is no simple thing. The night draws near and the rain drops fall, but the singer warbles through it all. I know the One Who shields small, will never, never let fall. As I sang ’twas this I said, all I find my table spread, To stores of plenty I am led, thus I find my daily bread. If I search and sing with zest, there will come to me the best. When at night I go to rest, Mother Nature guards my nest.’ Cheer up! Cheer up! and help me •sing a soulful anthem to the Spring. . You hear me singing from my heart; ’tis mine to take the solo part. At twilight dusk I hush my part, again at dawn you hear me start. Let humans all wake up and sing, to swell the chorus to .the Spring. For surging life comps on the wing, and this is why the robins sing. Cheerio is my glad refrain, while I sing out in the rain. Let us sing again with might and •main, for this is nature’s balm for pain. . Our feathered friends still make it plain, that singing souls have much to gain.

There are war weapons in these places—and in your household waste, which can be turned into a valuable contribution to Canada’s war production and into funds for war auxiliary services. Many local volunteer organizations have already completed plans for a Salvage Cam paign in their districts. More will follow. Quickly, we hope, all Canada will be organized to "clean out and clean up on Hitler"! Every day of every week until this war is won, every scrap of material which can be profitably salvaged in the area in which you live must be saved, collected and turned into war production material and money. A careful study and survey is being made throughout Canada by thia Department as to the type and class of salvage which will realize the greatest return in your community. If this information is not now in the hands of __________________________________V°ur local Salvage Committee or your 1__| ’ Municipal Council, have them communi cate with the Supervisor, National Sal vage Campaign, New Supreme Court Building, Ottawa. The complete facilities of the. Depart ment are at the disposal of local community organizations to aid in making their Salvage Campaigns a success. When the Campaign starts in yens community, we ask that you give it your unqualified support. Mns.

Whether your message is to Halifax, to Vancouver, New York or San Francisco, the telephone makes possible an immense speeding up—distance is hardly a factor any more.
