WEIR ADDRESSES LIONS CLUB Rev. Wm. Weir, the guest speaker Lions Club supper Central Hotel Monday evening. Weir took for his subject the aims of the (British Empire, said that it might seem strange that he should take for a subject what Winston Churchill refused to do. When Mr. Churchill speaks the whole world listens and the respon­sibility 'rests upon the British Em­ pire. With the speaker the respon­ sibility for anything he said rested upon himself. Speaking of Hitler, he said that debates are impossible; delays are dangerous and it was Hit­ ler who set the war aims. We will do well to clarify our thoughts as to the outcome of the present war. What are we, as individuals, as clubs, as a nation, and the Empire, going to do after the war? Our first aim is victory, Without vic­ tory all other aims will fail. There have been wars where national things were at stake. In this holo­ caust, the outcome of the spirit is at stake. Truth, righteousness, freedom, love and equality are in­ volved. Because spiritual things are so important to all mankind we should iastic with that victory we hope to plan we must destroy the malig­ nant evil of Hitlerism and Naziism. “In this war I feel in our Hearts that there is not hatred of a nation or a people, but there is hatred of the evil powers that possess ihese nations,” said the speaker. The thing we hate is not the German or Italian people, but the madness of the evil tendencies that possess these nations. Strangely enough as we battle with the German people, we battle on their behalf. With the •ceaseless propaganda of press and radio the German people are held in the thraldom of ignorance, we read of the conditions in the conquered nations of Europe we are forcibly reminded that one of our duties, is to free the smaller na­ tions from the heel of Hitlerism and to give them a chance to live in freedom and liberty. We are fighting for democracy, a principle where each > nation .shall decide for itself the form of govern­ ment under which it shall live/ If and when the war is over the Ger­ man people want a dictator and the Italian people an imitator and Po­ land a totalitarian state, let .them have their choice. Democracy gives to every nation the Choice of gov­ ernment. Beyond these immediate aims there is a larger and nobler purpose. What all good people are hoping and praying will come out of this war is a world-wide brotherhood. The speaker read quotations from Lord Tweedsmuir brook that vision wide brotherhood ests which defeat which only victory can make sible. As a minister, the speaker striving for a greater vision, vision of the kingdom of God on eai’th. Realizing that the eternal God was the creator of the universe, we are in a gigantic struggle to bring the life' of the nations in con­ formity with the will of God. We have a part in creating a new spirit. We have a challenge to create with­ in ourselves and within oux* nation a spirit whereby all nations may^join together in a' common cause, the welfare of all mankind. The per­ sonal answer to the question is, “If the world followed our example, would the world be better?” The speaker was introduced by Lion T.hos. P-ryde and the thanks of the club were tendered by pre­ sident C. V. iPickard. Two new members, Ted Davies and E. R. Rus­ sell were welcomed into the club. A new slate of officers was propose^ for the coming year, the election to take place in June. ■ Of Hensall, whs at the Exeter meeting at the Mr. war He be zealously enthus- sacrifice and suffering might be achieved.

GLADMAN, Official Receiver FRANK TAYLOR, Auctioneer Dr. William Allen, Canadian Ag­ ricultural Commissioner to the Un­ ited Kingdom, in a recent address on the feeding of the people of Britain in war time gave, a graphic description of transportation of pro­ duce under war-time conditions. Many physical difficulties arose which would never be experienced in peace time. The dislocation of normal shipping had diverted com­ modities to ports where the usual facilities for handling and storage were not available. Consequently, considerable • transportation over­ land was inevitable, for which ade­ quate equipment was lacking. War had also disorganized the normal distribution within -Britain: it had closed important markets and necessitated the establishment of regional depots to fit in with the various rationing programs. The personnel of the long-established peace time agencies of distribution had (been drawn on heavily for war services of every kind, and in ad­ dition the voluntary work at night and in emergencies added heavy loads to those remaining with the agencies. Evacuation of important groups of people from the danger areas .had also brought serious com­ plications, and the blackout and air raids had introduced severe diffi­ culties to the .problem of distribu­ tion. Notwithstanding these ob­ stacles . and hardships, food was reaching the consumers with re­ markable regularity, in fair variety, and not unduly enhanced in price, Canada’s contributions to the present struggle -were highly signi­ ficant for all parts of the war pro­ gram and the efforts of the Domin­ ion were very greatly appreciated by Britain. Notwithstanding the ter- tific experiences whiich were now the daily routine, Britain was stead­ fastly preparing for whatever might be necessary to win this tremen­ dous and all-important fight for freedom With . the support of the other parts of the Empire and al­ lies and .friends. Wise men' state facts—‘the other kind argue.
