Every small town and perhaps the largei’ ones, have the problem of churches of several de­ nominations, all of them half-filled. This is no place to discuss the rea­ sons that this is so, but the fact remains that the overhead entailed in supporting so many different centres of worship in a large 'mea­ sure forbids the generous support of movements whose purpose is to carry the Good Tidings to the out­ posts of church, conditions carried by the Globe & Mail should appeal to tion to a you will recall, is a new and crowd­ ed centre for industrial workers employed in war work at Pickering. “A committee representing the Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian and United Churches will see a dream fulfilled tomorrow afternoon, when a new Union Church will be of­ ficially opened at Ajax, near Pick­ ering. The opening of the church climaxes months of planning and is one of the 'most interesting devel­ opments in church unity accomplish­ ed for many years. “The new church is a portable building loaned by the United Church for use in the services of all denominations.

A committee made up of the head of the Employees’ Association, the Per­ sonnel Supervisor and one other person run the canteen and employ foui’ people. The plant supplies the fuel and accommodation—a room, a lunch countei’ and some tables and benches. “At that ^counter” says Dr. Pott “they sell half a pint of milk for four cents, soup for four cents, fruit juice for three cents, tea or coffee three cents, sandwiches for eight cents and salads for ten cents. Not only is the lunch counter paying for itself but is making a small profit.

Of light­ weight unbleached cotton (we used sugar bags, well bleached) make a lining that is slightly larger than the blanket, about 5 inches on all sides. Put this in a frame, lay on the blanket, leaving the spare goods to turn over the edges. Now quilt fairly closely, hem down the extra width to reinforce weak edges and you have a nice warm coverlet.

The Wartime Wages Control Order, P. C. 5963, provides in Section 48 (iv): “the amount of the bonus shall not be changed unless the cost of living index number has changed one whole point or more since the last general order of the Board requiring an increase or decrease in the amount thereof.” The index number not having changed by one whole point or more since July 2, 1942, pursuant to the provisions of P. C. 5963 as stated, the National War Labour Board orders that the terms of its General Order dated August 4, 1942, shall continue to apply for the period February 15, 1943, to May 15, 1943, subject to the right of employers or employees to apply to a War Labour Board for authorization of payment of such an amount of cost of living bonus as a Board may determine to be “fair and reasonable,” under the provisions of the Order.

It is a very common complaint, but can be quicldy remedied by stimulating the flow of bile. This softens tlio accumulated mass, the poisons are carried out of the system, and the liver and bowels are relieved and toned up. Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills quicken and enliven the sluggish liver, open­ ing up every channel, by causing a free flow of bile and thus cleansing the liver of the clogging impurities. They are Small and easy to take. Do not gripe, weaken or sicken. Tho T. Milburn Co,, Ltd., Toronto, Onk $
