The theme of the program was "Deeper Commitment —Wider Horizons." Rev. Morley Clark, Christian Education secretary for London Conference, enlarged on the theme in his morning address, "Come Alive." Rev, Clark stated that Christians are more likely to be damned for what they fail to do rather than what they do. The audience Look part in a lively discussion on the needs of our church communities. Mrs. B.C. Neice, Essex, Ontario was the afternoon speaker. It is important to hove a basic attitude in life, a deep personal trust. The United Church can no longer be a preaching church. It must be a listening church, a church listening to its people and their problems. Mrs. Neice also answered the question, "Why study China?". God regards all people as brothers and He is committed to them even if they are not committed to Him, Using his guitar the Rev. Morley Clark led the afternoon sing-song and Mrs. A.J.

I haven't tried this recipe but it sounds so good I'm placing it on the high priority list in my `must-cook-soon' file. Called Farmer's Dinner, it is a glorious mixture of four kinds of meat and four vegetables. I'd say this dish distinctive European though made from available ingredients.

Johnston, St. Clair St., Chatham, were entertained on several occasions in honour of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. The couple were married February 4, 1944 at New Sarum. A surprise party was held at the home of Gerald Godbolt, Exeter, where 30 friends gathered for dinner. Progressive euchre was played and gifts were later presented. Mr. and Mrs. James Henderson, Windsor, entertained her parents at a family dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Stan Doan, Chatham, also entertained Mr. and Mrs. Johnston and Mary Lee to dinner. Sunday February 9, 90 friends and relatives gathered at the Women's Building, Community Centre, Chatham, for an afternoon reception and smorgasbord.

(Please, don't suggest glue!) It is the season for colds. I learned just recently that the average adult with average good health can expect to be bothered by three or four colds a year. With children, the number of colds per annum can be even more than this. This isn't too surprising though when you know that there are as many as 100 different viruses which cause colds, Although there is no cure, common sense is the best medicine. Get sufficient sleep, have as much rest as possible when you are awake, take plenty of fluids (some aspirin if you desire it) and try not to pass your misery off on anyone else. If the cold does not respond to treatment after several clays and the patient seems to feel no better, it may be wise to see a physician. "All that sniffles is not a cold," one doctor stated. Prevention is still better than a cure, Keep the home at a moderate temperature through the winter months and at the proper humidity. If the air is too dry in the home, throats and noses can be irritated sufficiently to contribute to colds or cold symptoms. A humidifier is a fine investment if the air in your home is dry and the family is always coming down with sore throats and sniffles. About 45 percent humidity is considered ideal. I had a friendly telephone call recently from Mrs. Mervyn Dunn who offered a recipe for a make-ahead dessert. Mrs, Dunn had prepared the dessert for a women's institute coffee and dessert meeting. CHERRY DELIGHT Prepare graham wafer crumbs as you would for a pie shell, according to the recipe on the package. Line the bottom of a pan with about half the crumbs, Spoon over a tin of cherry pie filling (or raspberry if you prefer). To one cup of whipped cream add a half package of miniature marshmallows, four over top of cherries and top with remaining crumbs. M rs. Dunn also gave a suggestion for another graham wafer pie, Line the pie pan With the graham wafer mixture, fill with a cream pie filling arid pour over all one tin o apricot pie filling, Sounds yummy, if you like apricots!

Dear Sir: To set the record straight, I ot a millionaire. I am not a crusader. I am not self-made. amp do I believe any else is. But I am puzzled. about the claims made by merchants re- garding their losses due to shoplifting and employee theft. The largest number of convicted shoplifters in London. in a one month period was fo:,:ty-three, for an average theft of three dollars. I have been told that some merchants claim losses of up to five percent of their sales due to pilferage; for example, employee or customer theft. London is the centre of a trading area of approximately five 'hundred thousand people or more. The supermarkets in London do a considerable amount of this business and a large percent of it. is cash. Assuming the it.otal retail sales 'by all supermarkets to be eight million dollars a week in the London. trading area, this could mean retail sales of over four hundred million. dollars a year by the supermarkets in the London trading area alone. A loss of five percent of these sales would mean a loss of twenty million dollars in, pr-ofits to these supermarkets a year. People who work for wages have their income tax deducted, before receiving their pay. Ontario Provincial. Sales Tax also is paid by the customer on purchase of goods. Corporation tax. "however is levied on the profits made by the corporation. Losses due to pilferage reduce the profits of the corpor- ation concerned in direct ratio to the value of the goods stolen and therefore this becomes a one 'hundred percent tax writeoff plus the loss to the Ontario Provincial Government. in sales tax revenue. When our governments fail to get revenue from one source must increase their taxes from other sectors of our economy. For instance, higher taxes on inc:ome from employment and 'higher sales taxes. A more detailed disclosure of the accounting systems used by corporations to our governments should, result in to exactly how much money our government. loses in income and sales tax revenue when pilferage occurs. Proper merchandizing techni- ques, proper inventory controls, more detailed accounting systems should result in. lower losses due to theft and higher profits and more tax revenue to our governments from our corporations, without increasing taxes on the working person. No business should be allowed, to operate in such a man - ner that everyone can steal and profits are minimal. This costs the honest person who receives and pays taxes on his income from money• like to employment, too much In short, I am not a believer. I would 'know all the facts *before jailing what seems to be petty offenders. 'Lours ;truly' 0 1 Pe3t R. J. PatOn Presented in the Public Interest by PATON BROS. CO. 1052 BRYDGES ST.
