NAVY LEAGUE
DAY SATURDAY
There Can Be No Other Course But
To Help Freely.
On Saturday, May 31st, the Ontario
Division of the Navy League is hold
ing a tag day here, under the auspices
of- the Wingham Patriotic Association,
to 'raise funds for their work, which
embraces doing everything possible, in
every way and in every department,
for the bodily and mental comfort of
the men of the Royal Canadian Navy
and the Merchant Services.
Every day the assumed responsibil
ity of the Navy League to the men
who “go down to the sea in ships” is
increasing, not only because, as the
Minister of Naval Affairs has stated,
the personnel of our naval services is
increasing, but because new opportun
ities of service to those lads are being'
created. And the Ontario Division of
the Navy League is taking every ad
vantage of those opportunities.
Our men of the naval services didn’t
sign up expecting to have comforts
and woollens and cigarettes and ditty
bags given them. They are just as
brave in action without their woollies
and other things the Navy League pro
vides through your help. Our delight
in helping provide comforts and wool
lens and recreational services should
be all the greater therefor. But fight
ing for us and risking their lives for
us is surely sufficient on their part
Without doing without the help it is in
our power to give,them, through giv
ing to the Navy League.
To stand on watch, to man the guns
under fire, to spend hours in the wat
er, ship-wrecked, aye/to die, for us all,
that we may live and walk in peace,
is for these men fust a duty gladly
performed. By providing warm cloth
es, comforts, recreation, in their brief
hours of leisure and ky giving care and
supervision to their dependents, we all
can, through the Navy League Tag
Day, make the lot of the seamen a
great deal lighter. They arc risking all
for us. The least we can do is to say
“Thank Yduw in a tangible way, by
helping the Navy Teague help them,

YOUTHS TO FACE
THEFT CHARGES
Two Kincardine youths are in the

ston was picked up at his sister’s farm
by Constable Gordon Deyell and Coun
ty' Constable William Gardiner. Grey
was arrested at Parry Sound. Con
stable Otto McClevis, of Walkerton,
went north to bring the lad back.
This is the pair who are alleged to
have entered Armstrong’s garage here
and besides taking some money, walk
ed off with a can of oil and a tire.
The goods, we understand,- were par
tially , used to identify them with this
job. A car belonging to William Mc
Kenzie, of Lucknow, was found near
Purvis’ Lake and stolen plates were in
the car. .The Purvis car was also stol
en, and was located near Lucknow.
The police are of the opinion that
the series of thefts in this area will
now be a thing of the past.

was held in the Council Chamber on
Friday, May 23rd, With the pres

the meeting opened by singing the Op
ening Ode, followed by the Lord’s

Mrs. W. S, Hall, convenor of Can-
adianization, introduced the guest
speaker, Mrs. A. R. DuVal. Mrs. Du
Val chose to speak on “Poetry.” After
thoroughly explaining the musts be
fore starting to write Poetry, Mrs. Du
Val told of some of the talented poets
in our neighbouring communities, and
it is surprising the number of artists
who are living in the surrounding vil
lages and towns. We should mention
that just a few weeks ago Mrs. DuVal
submitted a piece of poetry to the Can
adian Poetry Contest. Out of four
hundred and fifty-three entries, twen
ty-three of these poems weqe chosen
as the prize-winning poems, and the
poem written by Mbs. DuVal was one
of the twenty-three chosen by the
Board of .Governors, The speaker read
a couple of poems, and by request read
the poem which was accepted' by the
board of governors. A hearty vote of
thanks was given Mr.s. DuVal, and the
Institute was indeed fortunate in hav
ing someone who is so talented in our
community. Mrs. DuVal’s poems ap
pear quite regularly in the Homemak
er’s page in the Globe and Mail.
Mrs. Thos. Bower gave a reading,
then Misses Grace Hutcheson and
Dorothy Hamilton favored with a very-
appropriate and beautifully rendered
duet “Land of Hope and Glory”, ac
companied by Miss Tena Reid at the
piano.
The meeting closed with “God Save
the King” after which the hostesses
served a dainty lunch and a social half-
hour was enjoyed.
HORSE MADE
FINE SHOWING

interest by winning first place in all
three heats, one heat was paced in
2.13.

tan, dam Mitre Bearer, was raised by
Mr-. Foxton, Wingham. A year ago he
was purchased by D. McCbarles, of

RED CROSS NEWS
We still continue to tell the people
how the work of the Canadian Red
Cross is appreciated in the bombed ar
eas of England. Portsmouth has tak
en the brunt of the German bombing
for some time and a woman worker
•from there writes, “Words fail to ex
press our gratitude for the lovely blan
kets and quilts. You cannot imagine
what it means to lose your homes and
all in them and the Red Cross women
of Canada would be amply repaid if
they knew what the English women
say about their hand made quilts.
They often make the firsit start' toward
a new home.” To-night the children
in Canada will sleep safely in their
beds. But the children in England
sleep under the dark cloud of danger
and many are left homeless and with
out clothing. The Canadian Red Cross
is right on hand in these emergencies,
warm clothing and shoes ate supplied
quickly. This demands constant serv
ing and knitting by Red Cross work
ers. The Wingham Branch has a large
quota to fill each month, so the wo
men are urged to call at the work
rooms on Tuesdays and Thursdays
where the garments are cut out ready
for sowing and >arn will be given out
for knitted articles,

MISSIONARY GAVE
SPLENDID ADDRESS
Miss Dorothy Douglas, Returned Mis
sionary, Spoke at St, Andrew’s
In connection with a movement that
took place throughout Maitland Pres
bytery of the Presbyerian Church in
Canada, Miss Dorothy Douglas, of
Lucknow, recently returned from the
missionary fields of Formosa, gave a
very inspirational and instructive ad
dress at St. Andrew’s Church, Sunday
evening.
Miss Douglas told of the seventy
years of Missionary work which has
been carried on in the Island. The
population of about six million is
made up of mostly Head Hunters, Ab
origines, and Chinese. There are, of
course, Japanese, but they are few in
number but are over-lords and carry
on the government and other such im
portant duties. The Japanese, al
though they strive to stop the spread
of the Christian influence, have done
some good in other ways, Miss Doug
las said. They have done much for
sanitation and every child must have
a public school education. High
schools are scarce and to receive this
education students mostly go to Jap
an, In the north of the island there
are 75 churches, 28 of which are sglf
sustaining. These are divided into
three Presbyteries. In the south of
the Island there are five Presbyteries
and efforts to have them all under one
synod are under way.
The work carried on by the mission
aries has met with great success, about
one in 100 are Christian, considering
the short time, 70 years, that the Gos
pel of Christ has been preached there.
The old customs of the people are hard
to break as they have been practiced
for thousands of years. Ancestral wor
ship is the hardest of these customs
to overcome.

Young Lad’s Wandering
Caused Excitement
Six-year-old Jimmie Sanderson caus
ed some excitement when he did not
return home for supper on Monday af
ter spending the afternoon playing. He
had been away since one o'clock and
the folks were getting anxious about
him. A search was started for him,
which ended when he found at a home
in Lower Wingham having a very
happy visit. ; ■
Bob Bridgeford Going Good
That Bob Bridgeford, erstwhile
Wingham twirler, is making good in

from Bob Carrick at the start of the
fourth inning against Galt and pitched
no-hit, no-run ball for the balance of
the game and in these last six frames

“Why Canada Must Borrow”
Proceeds of Canada’s 1941 Victory
Loan will be used for two purposes—
to help finance .Canada’s war effort:
and to render financial assistance to
Great Britain.
Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Minister of Fin
ance, in his recent budget address, es
timated that in the current fiscal year
the Dominion Government would have
to raise about $1,000,000,060 by way
of borrowing.
• Of this amount, the major portion,
will be for the purpose of financing
Britain’s deficit in her balance of pay
ments with Canada, arising out of
huge purchases of supplies and muni
tions in Canada,
For the current fiscal year. British
purchases in Canada will reach ap
proximately $1.5 billions. On this bas
is it is estimated that Britain’s deficit
in her balance of payment with Can
ada will total approximately $1.1 mil
lions. In order that there may be no
stoppage in the shipment of vital sup
plies which Britain is - buying from
Canada,-the Dominion Government has
undertaken to finance such proportion
oif the deficit as Britain herself will be
unable to meet by the transfer of gold
or United States dollars to Canada.
“The deficit in the balance of pay
ments,” which Canada has undertaken
to finance, means very little to the
great majority of Canadians. To put
it simply, Great Britain has insuffic
ient Canadian dollars with which to
pay for the supplies she wants from
Canada and the Dominion Government
has undertaken to provide those dol
lars.
By buying Victory Bonds Canadians
will be providing aid to Great Britain,
over and above the assistance being
given by the Canadian Navy, Army
and Air Force. They will be giving
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
“part of the tools” lie requested and
which have been ordered from Canada.
The cost of Canada’s war effort in
this fiscal year is estimated at about
$2,500 millions. Of this amount, $170
millions has been allotted to the Navy,
$667 millions to the Army, $387 mil
lions to the Air Force. In addition,
financing Britain’s requirements in
Canada will take $900 millions to $1,-
150 millions.
It will be noted that the biggest in
dividual item is financing British pur
chases. This is made up of repatria
tion of securities and credits. These
represent the method whereby Canada
enables Britain to secure goods with
out having to pay Canada any cash.
By this means Britain is able to buy
front Canadian factories war goods
made by Canadian workmen.. ; ,£•
Every bond purchased will mean
more wheat, bacon, cheese, flour, guns,
ships and mechanized equipment for
the Motherland.
The quota for the County of Huron
is $1,300,000, but that is the minimum
and it is felt that all quotas should be
over-subscribed by at least 100% and
as a result the objective for the Coun
ty of Huron should be considered as
$2,600,000.
Next week all Canadians will have a
very real opportunity of demonstrat
ing their loyalty and it is believed that
once again all Canadians will prove
willing to make sacrifices rather than
submit to defeat and slavery.
Next week every Canadian will be
asked to lend to our Government ev
er dollar available and this plea must
be answered fully and quickly.
