Yes Germany and Japan want Canada, and Canada is saying we refuse to comply, We want Canada for ourselves. and for those who believe in our way of living. We intend to defend our liberties, preserve our institutions and hand to our child- ren a heritage ennobled through suf- fering. We intend to preserve our Churches and are determined to main- thin the freedom of worship we now enjoy. The leaders of the Churches are fully aware of the moral and spiritual issues of this war. They are keenly alive to the tremendous need for marshalling all the spiritual .resources at our disposal, It is these moral and spiritual issues the Churches are con- cerned with. To clarify them is the Churches task; as also 18 the task of marshalling our spiritual resources. The job belongs to all who belong to the Churches. The job has not been given to one man or to a group 6f Men, It IS not the exclusive task of the Clergy, but the task of ell; Clergy Laity, Laity and Clergy.

What Seed Potato Classification Means Although the latest date for filling in applications for seed potato 'certifi- cation is some time ahead, a reminder of the importance of this procedure is timely. Seed potato certification is a means of recording seed potatoes of good type from vigorous plants, and, as 'far as possible under advanced conditions of farming, free from ser- ious diseases. When potatoes have been inspected in the field, and after harvest, by an authorized officer of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, and have been found to be vigorous and to conform to the certi- fied seed standards, they may be certi- fied. Official tags are issued for such seed stocks exclusively. Certification is not complete until the potatoes are in containers bearing the official tag on which the field certification number and the approximate daft of final in.- spection are stated. Application forms are sent out early- in May. Growers who do not receive• a form should apply to the Plant Pro- tection Division, Production Service;. Dominion Department of Agriculture;, Ottawa, or to the nearest District In- spector at the address given on the; form. Full information concerning' certified' seed potatoes and the regulations governing their production is contain-, ed in the War Time Series Phamphiet No. 43 on "Certified Seed Potatoes." It may be obtained free at once by writing to 'Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
