In making this announcement, J. P. Bickell, Registrar of Motor Vehicles urged all motorists to se­ cure their permits and licenses im­ mediately. While many car owners throuhgout the province have al­ ready secured their new 1940 plates, records show that there are thou­ sands who face the prospect of find­ ing themselves in the last - minute rush unless they act without delay. Officials at the Motor Vehicles Branch declare that the motoring public could easily avert the incon­ venience and annoyance of waiting in a crowd. “It’s a job that will take a few minutes now but it may take hours later on," one official stated. “We have the plates and licenses ready; it’s now up to the motorists, but March 31 is positive­ ly the ^leadline."

Mr. .Seaman, caretaker, entered the chitrch building by way of the basement shortly before 2 p.m. He thought he heard someone moving about upstairs in the cliurch audi­ torium and went upstairs to inves­ tigate. As he opened the door into the main auditorium the flames were breaking through the ceiling. By the time the firemen reached the scene the whole interior of .Church was ablaze and they save nothing. The church, a handsome ■ brick building, was built in and had been completely renovated in 193 6 at a cost of several thou­ sand dollars. Insurance of $25,000 was carried on the church and its contents, but this will not nearly, cover the loss, or provide for building and equip­ ing a new church. The building was valued at $50,- 000 and a new organ at $10,000. Insurance on the. church was $21,- 00 0 and $4,500 was carried on the orgn and contents. Rev. A. K.

Difficulties and disappointments may have impeded his progress through the trying years from which he is just emerging, but provided, as he now is, with purpose nobler than self-interest, he sets himself to. the task With loftier ambition and renewed energy. Eager he is, for that conscious recognition within himself of having a definite and necessary part in the Empire’s struggle to retain and maintain our dearlywon and highly treasured freedom. Zealous is he that his contribution may be worthy and adequate.
