Editor’s Note—The following article
whiehjappeared in the United Church
Observer, written by Rev. J. B. Town
end, of Belgrave, was inspired by the
banquet at which Reeve Raymond
Redmond, of East Wawanosh, enter
tained .the members of the Council,
the Township officials, Rev. J. B.
Townend and myself.
I attended a banq-ue tonight. It was
held in the dining-room of a farm
home. Involuntarily one’s thoughts
turned to banqueting halls of ancient
castles in older lands. The knights of
other days might well have envied us
the repast that was ours, tonight. We
were guests of the Reeve of the Town
ship, The group consisted of mem
bers and officials of the Municipal
Council, the editor of the local paper
and myself—the minister. The dau
ghter of the home waited on table and
her mother presided over the opera
tions in the kitchen. The services of
both were marked by that perfection
so characteristic of the better class of
farm homes in Ontario.
All except the editor and myself
were farmers. By honest toil and
marked thriftiness they all seem to
make a decent livelihood—but not
much more than that. What differ
ences there were between us. The
Reeve is a faithful member of the Ro
man Catholic Church; other members
of the group are ardent Orangemen,
At the time of Church Union in 1925
I went wholeheartedly into The Unit
ed Church of Canada; my neighbour
—the Municipal Clerk—-just as whole
heartedly stayed out. These and oth
er differences were forgotten tonight.
We were a group of public servants
who served our fellows In State, in
the Church and in the press. More
than that, were were a group of nei
ghbours and friends deeply concerned
with the Welfare of the community,
I invoked the Divine Blessing as
we began the meal and proposed the
toast to “The King'’ at Its close. We
drank the toast in water and respond
ed by singing the National Anthem.
Then followed'a round of Speechmak
ing. What did we talk about? Well!
we told stories, spoke about roads,
taxes, finances, price of farm products,
war, politics, intemperance, public
morals, education-—-and I know not
what else.
To Act Chaplain
Before we parted the Reeve invited ;
byfba
VbrSMMgr
Ottawa,
(Signed by)
NOW... starting this month ... I will put a definite
part of my income aside in War Sawings Certificates. I will have it
deducted regularly... each week... each month.., either from my
pay envelope or from my savings ^account, by arrangement with my
employer or my bank manager
me to be present at the inaugural
meeting' of the Council early in Jan
uary, I am to act as Chaplain and
open the proceedings with(prayer. For
what will I- pray? Well! the prayer
will be simple. I will thank God for
the tolerance, the freedom, the justice
and the goodness of men in this good
ly land which is our home, I will ex
press our thanks for the men who
have gone before us leaving strong
and worthy foundations for our public
life. I will pray for the nation and
the empire in these fateful days. I will
pray that these men now entering up
on a year of official service may be
endued with courage and wisdom to
do their work justly and for the good
of all.
Through the year ,we will go on out-
separate ways, each of us sharing the
life of the people we seek to serve and
to-lead. Ours it will be to bring Chris
tian ideals to bear on the everyday af
fairs of life and to lift everyday af
fairs into the light of Eternal reality.
None of the group would make any
claim to sainthood; not all attend
church with any regularity, and yet,
I fancy, every one is more or less
deeply religious in his attitude to life.
And there you have a little side
light on the actual working of the
thing we call Democracy—a principle
of government for which, in these
days, men are learning to live'and to
diet Very simple isn’t it?—and very
beautiful. Gloriously Divine.
higher. The less favourable relation
ship between hog prices and food pric
es may result in some decline in mar
ketings in the latter part of 1941 and
into 1942,. especially in Eastern Can
ada. In the United States, hog pro
duction is expected to decline in 1941
and prices there have already shown
substantial improvement. It is poss
ible that, if prices there continue to
advance, some Canadian hogs may bo
exported to' that market.
The controlling factor in Canadian
hog prices during 1940 was the price
paid for export bacon. Prices paid by
the Bacon Board for the top grade of
Wilthsire sides for export (Al size
able)' were as follows:—January 20-
May 6, $17.70; May 6-July 22, $17;
July 22-November 4 $17.70; Novem
ber 4-November 18, $17; November
18-December 31,‘ $16.10. Major chang
es in hog prices were closely associ
ated with changes in bacon prices.
RED CROSS SENDING
PRISONERS’ PARCELS
Approximately 2$,000 Red Cross
parcels of food for British including
Canadian, prisoners of war in Germ
any have beeji shipped from the Tor
onto depot, and 18,000 of these are
on their way overseas, Dr. Fred W.
Routley, national commissioner of the
Canadian Red Cross, reported re
cently.
The' parcels are sent from New
York on American export liner to Lis
bon, where they are taken over by In
ternational Red Cross representatives
who guarantee their safe delivery to
the prisoners. The parcels go to Mar
seilles on a Red Cross ship which is
permitted to pass through the British
blockade They are then put aboard
a Red Cross train bound for Geneva,
and their distribution to the prisoners
is handled from this point,
About 5,000 of the food parcels
which left Toronto recently aboard a
ship carrying American Red Cross
supplies to Europe.
The parcels of food, each of which
contains a sufficiently balanced diet
to last a prisoner a full week, are be
ing packed in Toronto at the present
time. The original output of the de
pot, which has been open four weeks,
was 5,000 parcels a week, but the ma
chinery has been speeded up to .pro
duce twice that number. The Canad
ian Red Cross is supplying the food
at the direct request of the British
Red Cross, whose work along these
lines in Britain has been hampered by
enemy air-raids.
