Taking advantage of the Thanksgiving season he chose as his morning text, "In all things give thanks", taken from 1st Thessalonians, chap. 5, part of verse 18. Pointing out a few of the things we as a nation, as a people and as a person we were Or should be eternally thankful for, and how we could show our thank- fulness to God for His gracious gifts to us, For the evening service, Dr. Cameron chose Hosea 11, verses 3 and 4 for his text, in which he portrayed the picture which Hosea had painted for the people of isreal which bore the lesson that *God who is patient in his ' teachings giving and forgiving, always ready give his children another chance,lpointing out that we as Cana- dian people had the HSnd of God in the planning of our nation in the early historian days as well as Isreal. The same applies today. God is ever Ares ent, and does not give us burdens too heavy for us to carry, knowing our strength better than we do ourselves, however we must not make the load heavier by worry, which isn't a part of God's plan, but of our own making, by not trusting altogether in God.

The Goderich Airport has applied for membership making 17 member Lib- raries at the present time. Miss Morrison of Kirkton, gave a. report of the Regional Libraries Con- ference held in London last May. The importance of bringingsboys and girls into contact with good books was stressed by the speaker of the even- ing, Miss S. Knowles of the Children's; Department of the Sarnia Public Library. Miss Knowles spoke of the stimulation that good books can bring to the minds of children and how im- portant in these days that children be- come world conscious. Picture books from many nations can bring, this about. Miss Knowles also told of the value the Library is to the school child in his new course of studies. .An interesting part of the address dealt with the forming of independent Rural„ School Library Associations.

SPEED the VICTORY As chairman of Huron County War Vinance Committee I send out cordial greetings to every citizen. The raising of this 5th Victory Loan is the biggest task to which the people of Huron ever- set their hands. It will be one factor in our final success if we begin with a full realization of the vast and difficult responsibility to which we are com- mitted and match this challenge with the earnest- ness and determination that is the very stuff of 'Victory. There is good news that our armed forces are moving forward and that, news should lift our spirits to a high level of eagerness and enthusiasm. But there is no news that the war is just about over and that we may relax our efforts. The prospect is not of a war tapering off to a quick and easy finish, but of a war rising to an increasing cres- cendo of stubborn fighting. Something tugs at our hearts as we think of our boys caught in this fury of battle. What can we do for them? The best thing we can• do for them is to give them the weapons, an abundance o:b weapons—or rather. the best thing we can do for them is to buy Victory Bonds—for with our Vic- tory Bonds the weapons will be provided. ror the sake of all our I-iuron County boys over there-- Pro speed the Victory— Out of Huron County's great prosperity-- AS your answer to the call of duty— As an act of Thanksgiving— BUY VICTORY BONDS! Yours faithfully, W. A. twEerzort Chairman. Huron County War Vinanee Committee, ula
