United. Church schoolroom was the
scene of a happy gathering on Friday
evening when Wroxeter Women's In

precedes their Thanksgiving obser

After all, Canadian Legion mem

Huron Presbytery
Promotion Rally
In United Church
The Huron Presbytery of the —....
don conference of the United Church
of Canada recently held its Christian
Education promotional rally at
Wijrgham United .Church.
Following a brief devotional period
conducted by Rev. D. J. MacRae, B.A.,
B.D., who referred to the example
set by Jesus Christ in his way pf
teaching, a film entitled "For Every
Child" was shown, The film dealt
with every child’s need for a faith in
God and pointed to some ways in
which this peed might be met.
After the showing .of the film, the
assembled church school teachers
and others, interested in the subject
- • arranged
discussion
The Editor,
Wingham Advance-Times,
Citizens of Wingham:
I would like to explain why
writing the following. Fh’^t,
wer U '-.^1 ‘
editorial. Secondly, to inform the
citizens of our reason for the ap
proaching town council as a delega
tion seeking the declaration of Nov
ember 11th, as a holiday,
. Remembrance Day was laid down
to be held on the 11th hour of the
11th day of the 11 month of the year,
NOT at the convenience of the gen
eral public, That is the time it is held
at our National War Memorial and
in towns and cities across the wide
Dominion,
Apparently we have forgotten the
significance of the Cross. The Cross
in ancient days was a sign of defeat,
UNTIL THE LORD was crucified
and rose again. This signified victory
over the grave. We pay homage to
the dead and .celebrate their victory,
not only on the battlefield, but victory
over the grave.
Do we not understand that this is
the reason why one of our. highest
military awards is a Cross?
I am wondering how many people
"Remembered” in Wingham on this
November 11th.
Those of us who took the time went
to the nearest village where services
were held at the appointed time. Some
of us took time off from work to do
so. Should the veterans who have al
ready served and paid have to do
this?
During the evening of November
11th, I was invited to a banquet,
where at the head table sat four reeves
from various municipalities and the
padre of the branch along with other
guests. Here they remembered and
also celebrated the victory with a
turkey supper served by the Legion
Branches’ Ladies’ Auxiliary.

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE NEEDED
A Royal Commission in Britain, looking into_
matter of freedom of the press, recently scored the efforts
of town councils who tended to “treat the public affairs
entrusted to them as if they were their own private con
cern, and to make arrangements for the spending ol vast
sums of public money without giving the ratepayers ample
opportunity to have their sav in the matter”.

■Canada’s tault.
English cultureEnglish culture has to a large extent been a product
of a leisure class, which, relieved of the strain and neces
sity of earning a living, has turned to the arts, perhaps in
an effort to justify its own existence. Few English writers
of note made a living from their writings, or needed to.
Under such Utopian circumstances, it is small wonder
that, amongst the thousands that dabbled in literature,
some should become pre-eminent in the field.
So far Canada has not developed a leisure class big
enough, with an output large enough to make much of a
dent in the world’s great literature. And as long as Can
adian-- continue to be ingrossed in the mundane work of
building a new country, things are likely to remain that
way. • -

DON’T STAND IN THE WAY
Everybody likes to see a fire. And it seems to have
become part of the Canadian way of life to jump in the,
car at the first wail of the siren and follow the fire reels to
their destination. _ ;
We would hardly want it otherwise. Aefeit is a fact
that over-curious motorists can clutter up the landscape!
and get in the firemen’s way in an alarming fashion.
Next time you hear the fire siren, stop and think. It’s]
In either!probably a chimney fire, or maybe a false alarm,
case, you’ll probably get lost trying to find it.
If you must, by all means go. But please leave the
firemen room in which to work.
NOT ANY MORE
The best things in'life are free, according to a catchy
little song which was popular a few years ago. And while
many people may still hum the tune, we doubt if they’d
go along with the economic theory behind the lyric.
The thought was brought home to us the other day
when we heard that there is a move on foot to cut off the
free air at the service stations. Free lunch at the public
house has almost passed from human memory, and free
cigarette papers with a package of “makin’s” went out
with the present era of prosperity. We’re expecting to
find any time that there’s a slight charge On the time-
honored election cigar.
These, mind you, are only minor matters. In these
days of price spirals our bank book would indicate that
the best things in life are beyond normal reach.
Perhaps it’s better that way. If, as they say, you
relish the comforts of life in proportion to what you pay
for them, then everyone should now be enjoying life to
the full.

The evening also featured a book

one of Galijee and the other of a
church and suggestive of how models
may be used to strengthen Christian
education work.
Grateful thanks were extended by
Rey. E. W. Todd, the presbytery
Christian Education convener, to all
who had assisted in making thex rally
possible.
Following the benediction, pro

center, called FIVE OAKS, sponsored
by the five central conferences of the
United Church, operates as an inde

train people for leadership in such
areas as the church school, youth a‘nd
adult work. Currently the center
needs more funds to pay debts incur

of faith under the .leadership of the
