more like him-, but the words of one
who has been there and who knows
where he speaks. 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. It it a ease
of every ofttot-hot doing his bit that's

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
