The words learned at school through temperance work- ers leave an -impression that one car- ries all down through life. He said if the churches would work hard to deepen the spiritual life of the people there would be more W.C.T.U. work- ers.

'He said he had never seen one woman in his younger days who would take liquor. To-day the beer „parlours are full of drinking women. To-day there is more secret % drinking done than W years ago. When everyone is in sympathy to make progress upon a certain line it almost invariably suc- ceeds. One of our troubles in this cause is that we cannot get all classes to work with us.

THE BOMBER PRESS IN GREAT BRITAIN Another in a series of articles written by W. R. Legge and C. V. Charters, who r represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association in a recent tour overseas. AT CANADIAN MILITARY HEADQUARTERS (Article No. 19) By Walter R. Legge After meeting the men who .control the destinies of Canada's overseas forces, one becomes convinced that each is the perfect man for his par- ticular job, and there begins to be a feeling of admiration for the judgment of the powers that selected them. This seems to be particularly true of the Senior Officer at Canadian Mili- tary Headquarters, Major General the Hon. P. J. Montague, C.M.G., D.S.O., M.C,, V.0., who was made a Compan- ion of the Honorable Order of the Bath in the New Year's honours list. We met hint soon after our arrival in England, and he became extremely popular with the two weekly editors when lie remarked that he once used to pye type for Bill Fry in the Dunn- lac Chronicle office, He went on to say that he was glad to welcome the weekly newspaper representatives be- cause he stills swears by and not at the weekly newspapers. Without them, he declared, there would be ,no histor- ical records, and they represent the real power, the men from the farms, He regretted the loss of the files of the ,Manck County Reform Press and the Grand River Sachem, In his.talk with the editors, General Montague emphasized that there was not an ounce of polities in the Can- adian Overseas Fortes, 14e also prais- ed the hospitals in this war, Major General the Hon, P. J. Mont- ague was born at Manville, Ont., on November 10th, 1882, arid is a des- cendent through his mother of the United Empire Loyalists in the Niag,. ara District. Educated at Upper Can- ada College4 Toronto University, artd Osgoode Hall Law School, lie etnbrac- ed a combined legal and military career, and was commissioned a Limit, in the 4th Field Battery R.C.A. at Hamilton in 1905. Moving to Winnipeg, which he now calls his home town, he transferred to the 18th Mounted Rifles,. and when the first world war broke, out he was a Lieutenant in the 'Fort Garry Horse, His combined legal and military train- ing made hint a 'valuable. officer. lie had a .distinguished reeOrtl the last war, and was decorated three times and was five times mentioned. in des- patches, • After the last war, he re-organized the• Fort 1Garry Horse, and is now its Honorary Colonel. Equally outstanding was 'his rise in the legal profession. In 1932 he was appointed to the Court of Kings Bench for Manitoba. At the outbreak of the present war he took the Headquarters personnel overseas in 1939 and is now Senior Officer at C,M.H.Q., and Judge Od- vocate General, In this position he is the highest legal authority both for the •R.C.A,F. and the Canadian Army Overseas. The bomb-scarred building in which Canadian Military Head- quarters is housed is usually referred to as "Fort Montague," Not only Dunnville and Winnipeg, but all Canada should be proud of him. "Fort Montague" or .C.M,H.O., situ- ated close to Canada House, was a Place that the editors frequently visit- ed. On the outside there is little to suggest that it is a military building, The entrance is protected by heavy brick .buttresses, and in the doorway stands a sentry, Inside all is hustle and bustle. Just inside the entrance,' to the right, is the Public ;Relations Office; in, charge of jovial Major Wm, Abets. Major Abets was a Canadian, advertising ex- ecutive, who went to England some years ago to popularize a well •known brand of soup, previously unknown in England. How well he succeeded is a story in itself, The staff is made up of a grand bunch of men, including Capt. Gibb, Lieut. Win. Austin, and Lieut, A. M. Stilton. Lieut, Austin travelled with us, and looked after us in a most ef a ficient way during most of the six weeks 'we were overseas. We fre- quently referred to him as our "keep- er," and grew to have a very high re- gard for him. It must have been a trying ordeal to lookaafter twelve edi- tors with twelve different tempera- ments for six weeks, but "Bill" never.. let anything ruffle his serene good nature. Lieut. Stirton, who comes from Cal- gary, was our photographer, and both as a photographer and travelling com- panion lie was "tops". On our first visit to C.M.H.Q., we were taken deep into the basement, where our photographs were taken in- dividually for our various passes. Probably the mast insignificant look- ing pass we tract was the one • issued -by the British Ministry of Information. This bore our photograph and.a num- ber of signatuaes. That pass, we soon found out, would work wonders, and take us any place. On one occasion, I was visiting some relatives in a re- stricted area, and unkpowlingly tried to return on a day when only those holding a priority card could traevl. That little pass not only allowed me on the train, but got me on board ahead of anyone else. , The R.C.A.F. has its own Public Relations Office in •the R.C.A.F. Headquarters in another part of Lon- don, and here are Squadron Leaders R. McInnes and Roger Irwin, and P/0 Clare, the last named being a. travelling companion of ours for about three weeks. -C.M.H.Q. does not now show many signs of the air raids, but on at least one day during the blitz, General Montague's desk was covered with jagged bits of masonry blown there by bombs which landed in the neigh- bourhood. On one side of "Fort Montague" now stands a temporary one storey building erected on the site of a large building which was dem- olished. Another bomb landed just across the street. Today the bomb scars in the vicinity are more or less removed even if repairs and replace- ments are tiot completed. WESTFIELD Pte. Harold Bosnian of London, spent Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Bosnian, Miss Fern McDowell and Miss Margaret Shaw of Hamilton, Were week-end guests at the home of the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs, Alva McDowell.

INTRODUCING THE SOLDIER WITH THE BLUE ARMBAND Each Thursday this community is visited by 4 party of Canadian sol- diers, each of whoin wears on .his coat-, sleeve a blue band with a red maple leaf and a white -"R" superimposdd thereon. Who are these men? They are members of the Active Army Mo- bile Recruiting Unit and in every case, they are Veterans of the last war or are category men who have been in- valided home in this war or were pre- vented from going overseas owing to illness or injuries received while on Active Service. Each has been specially trained to act in a liaison capacity between the Canadian Army and the civilian popu- lation, and he is ready and willing at all times to furnish information con- cerning enlistment in the Active Army, including the C.W.A.C. or about any other phase' of Army life. Consult him without hesitation, for just as you would go to a service 'man when ex- periencing car trouble so he is the one who can best render service when any change is contemplated from civilian to Army life. He is a friendly sort of chap, but more or less a stranger here. --When you meet him on the street give him a cheery "Hello" — and his return greeting will, be just as cheery. Information or enlistment may be had from the staff at the local Arm- ouries who would be glad to assist on days the unit is not here. The Unit operating in this part of Military District No. 1 is composed of Lieiut. 3. C. McDonald,aSergt. Geo. Truax, Corp. Harry Cook and.' Ptes G eo. Neil, Geo. Smith and Eldon Whitmore. SCHOOL PUPILS ARE DOING THEIR BIT Give Valuable Support To The Junior Red Cross Coincident wiith the campaign of the Canadian Red Cross Socieity to raise $10,000,000 is an effort by the Junior Red Cross Society to encour- age the pupils of the Ontario schools to raise $35,000 for similar purposes. The Junior Red Cross has already sent ambulances, station wagons, mo- bile kitchens, and blankets to Britain. Nurseries have been financed for chil- dren injured during bombing raids and a great deal of help has been given to crippled children. The Junior Red Cross Society wishes to continue and to extend this important work which is being entirely financed by school children. The entire amount received, without deduction for' expenses, is spent on war work. The pupils are encouraged to earn their contributions by personal efforts, such as making- atid selling useful articles, holding con- certs, doing chores, running messages. etc. in order that there 'may be as little interference as possible with the plans of their parents. In 1942 the pupils in Ontario contributed $29,781.60, Last year in the Inspectorate; of "Bruce East, Grey (in part), Huron (in part)" every school including six Indian Schools or 89 schools hi all sent iii a substantial contribution which made tip an impressive total of $$99,88. This sum came in 7th place among the 111 rural or semi-rural In. speatorates of Ontario. This year, the campaign which is now lit'full swing is going even better. Eight rural schools, listed below, have already for- warded $10,15 or an average of $12,77 each, S. S. No, 4 Elderslie„ $20,00; S, S. No. 5 Elderslie $1.50; S 8, No. 12 Eldersiie $2,40;' S. S. No, 4 Howiek $10.00; S. S.. No. 10 Howlek S. S. No, 14 Rovviek $25.00; S. ,5, No, 15 Ilowiek $28,5; •C-ape Croker in. Alan $10,00, If the other sehools do as well the total for the inspectorate Will exceed .$1,000 by a'. substantial amount, While the original date :Tor the close of the school .eampaign was March '31, this has been extended until April .23 (the beginning of the Easter Holidays) in order to permit certain schools to conduct concerts in April when the concession lines and side roads will he passable for motor vehicles, It is rather remarkable to note that last year Arran Township with the smallest number of schools raised the . largest contributions namely, $117,77, This townshiip with but 10%.601 the schools contributed 30% of the total, AU High and Continuation Schools are invited to participate in this worthy work, contributions to be for- warded throngh the office of the local . school inspector, Undoubtedly tor?, parents and trustees will lend what. ever support they can. to this splendid campaign, which it is hoped may bring to the attention of ALL what_fine • service is being rendered by the Junior Red Cross, both in war times and peace times, .The results of the campaign will be supplied to the local newspapers.

Wilkinson -gave the Scripture read- ing from the 1st Psalm. The hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers" was sung and Miss Sohwass led the Clip Sheet readings.' Rev, Kenneth MaacLean gave the address. He expressed his sympathy with the work of the W.C,T.U., Tenders will be received for supply- J. C. PURDON, Road Superintendent, Lucknow, Ontario, is behind this drinking question that has overtaken the world. The appeal- ing power to the young women to-day' to take to smoking is the idea that the highest socially do it, so why' shouldn't I. The liquor sellers to-day are un- scrupulous to sell their wares no mat- ter how many lives and souls they wreck. The W.C.T.U. work must somehow or other be carried on — at* matter what the discouragements. Ruthie Lucas sang sweetly "Be a golden sunbeam." The county prizes were givento -several of the S. S. scholars wild had successfully passed temperance examinations. Misies Irene Taylor and Jean Stewart sang "Whispering Hope" and "The Old Rugged Cross." The meeting closed with prayer by L. Carter and singing of hymn "Toiling On."
