J, W. Moores, of Lucan, and his sub­ ject Just ing, held Down, of Carling Street. Rev, Hunt presided in the absence of the pre­ sident. Everywhere there is confusion in the minds of our people on the sub­ ject of war aims and what kind of a world we may expect or would like to see after the war is won. In order to clarify the minds of the church regarding the moral, cal and economic foundations enduring peace, the Federal cil of Churches in the United has been trying to give leadership. Also the Archbishop of Canterbury has old ing on world and to the churches and the sume responsibility in ing of an endurable peace. One of the first tasks confronting the church is the breaking down of race prejudices and the spirit of re­ venge. It is much easier to talk about all races being equal before God than it is to welcome into our homes black people, or into our churches and communities yellow peoples. A second problem is the freedom of movement of population. We in Canada are vitally interested in this problem because Canada is a large country with a small popula­ tion. Will we be prepared to open our doors to the millions of refugees after this wax* is over? Did not God give the whole earth to all men for their common dwelling place and the resources of the earth to be used as His gifts to the whole human fam­ ily? Think of the thousand's in England bombed out of theii' homes with no place to go. What about the Jews? Is the Church preparing the youth of our land to mingle with the other races and help reconstruct a war-torn world? Following- the war we may expect a "back to normalcy” movement which .will be greater than the ex­ cesses following the last war. Speed and luxury may be the order of the day, with the necessity for reduc­ tion and rationing gone. The Church must be prepared to meet this new problem. Will we be prepared to feed the hungry after the war (and there will be millions of them) or will we settle back into an isolationist attitude, and pass by on the other side. ‘‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” If we do not follow the good neigh­ bor policy, there will be no just and durable peace. Is the Church ' instilling in the youth of our land a desire for service or will -the profit motive be uppermost as hitherto? We are world citizens but are we prepared to assume oui’ responsi­ bilities as world citizens? Tech­ nology has made the world into a neighborhood. War has made that neighborhood into a slaughterhouse. Can Christianity convert that slaughterhouse into a community? Following the meeting the host­ ess, Miss Down, served lunch. The liext meeting will be held at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Anthony and Rev. Weii' will speak on “The Econ­ omic Aspects Of World Peace.” was ‘’The Local Aspects of a and Durable Peace”.

I suppose you would like to 'know what I doing, here. First of all, I like outfit and am well satisfied, have one of the best stations and of the hottest, if and when things break. We have been doing a lot of training and learning our fire ground and water supplies, I have been all through the docks and had no idea they were so large or worth­ while. We are out on both day and night exercises. Am getting used to driving on It he wrong side of the roads and in blackouts and can get around the city fairly well. When we go on regional moves (that is to re-’ before I’m back, inforce other places in need of help) we move in convoy with a dispatch­ rider to guide us. The appliances are good too, Canadians pumps and has a 5'00 and a heavy a thousand, pumps are trailer towed behind a van and the heavy is all one unit and the nicest pump to work on. It is usually used as a base pump to supply water for the others. We use hydrants too but nine times out of ten the water mains are blown up. We usually work out of large dams built all over the city and which con­ tain about 100,000 gallons. The trouble in the last blitz was lacki of water. I was lucky to get the heavy to work on and am driving and pump man. The hose is two three quarter inch rubber lined isn’t flaked on the truck as at home but rolled up in fifty foot lengths and run out by hand, the reason be­ ing that trucks can’t get dowp a bombed street .but the hose can be laid by hand. It has an instantan­ eous coupling and it is surprising- how quck it can be laid. We did a There are manning one large. A large pump gallon-a-minute capacity The large five crews of four heavy unit also and and ing from scratch with nothing in position, ip seven minutes, which is very good, W)e jay twin water lines with each pump 450 feet apart. . Qur living quarters are very good, being an old hotel, two men to a room- W© have hot and cold running water in every room and an electric heater. The eats are very good, but we still eat Canadian style and don’t stop in the morning and afternoon; for tea. We are on a twenty-four hour shift, so we get plenty of time, to look around, We get an extra day! off every two weeks and two days extra every three months. This gives us a three day and a five day leave together, We also get a .seven day leave twice a year, Being paid twice a month is quite handy, I am having a good time but still get lonesome for home and hope it won’t be long ’ " . If we could just get it fixed so the sirens wouldn’t go in the middle of the night it would be better too but I guess we ask for too much, I have been wondering what of a day it has been at home, swell here with nice bright sunshine. A little cold but no snow as yet. Don Winer Js the only one from home I have seen. I spent three days in London with him some time ago. Have been in. touch with Vyrne Smith and Allen Fraser but haven’t heard from them lately. I suppose you knew Allen and I came over on on the same boat. Pat Skinner is close to them too. Wjell Chief I guess this is all I have to gas about today. I hope you find . this interesting and hope it gives you an idea what I am doing. The main thing is I am in good health and hope that this finds you and your family the same. Hope to be seeing you this year. So long for now, Bill T133 L.F. Chambers W. E.
