All Honour To The Men Of The Navy!
CANADA'S NAVY WEEK, proclaimed by
the Federal Government and sponsored by the
Navy League of Canada, starts on Monday, Oc-
tober 2, and ends with "Battle of the Atlantic"
Sunday on October 8.
Its purposes are to remind Canadians, old
and young, of Canada's great naval record in
the last war; to pay tribute to those who made
the supreme sacrifice and to, feature Canada's
destiny as a sea power and world trade nation.
The Royal Canadian Navy, the Navy League
of Canada, including its Sea Cadets and Navel
Veterans Associations, are joining forces to ac-
complish these purposes.
In 4060 days of War, under Canadian
escort, 25,343 merchant ships carried 181 mil-
lion tons of cargo from North American ports
to the United Kingdom. Over this bridge
90,000 tons of war supplies passed daily to
the battlefields of Europe. More than 90 per-
cent. of the men who manned our fighting
ships were citizen sailors who had joined only
foe• the duratipn. Many had never seen the
sea before.
Backed by enormous production from. Can-
adian farms, factories and shipyards our com-
bined naval operation helped win the Battle
of the Atlantic, repeating in history what
Napoleon's Admiral Mahon said of Nelson's
ships: "Those far distant, storm -beaten ,ships,
upon which the Grand Army never looked,
stood between it and the dominion of the world."
From a few ships at the war's outbreak, -
by Februray 1942 the ships of the Royal Can-
adian Navy formed the miin strength of the
Western Atlantic escort 'forces. By midsummer
of that year, 40 per cent of eseoit, duty with
trade convoy in the North Atlantic was car-
ried out by them. By March of 1943, the
actual division of escort duty in the North
Atlantic was 50 per cent Royal Navy, 48 per
cent Royal Canadian Navy, and 'two per cent
United States Navy.
"Navy week," says Lt. Cdr. William
Sclater, author of 'Haider, "is to remind us
of how a young nation, drawn from every
section of this far-flung land, ventured forth
on the face of the great waters and wrote,
for all the world to see, 'one of the most glor-
ious chapters in our history."
Beginning on Monday, October 2, in naval
establishments, sonic 200 Navy League and
Sea Cadet headquarters and veterans' organi-
zations, preparations for parades end special:.
events will get underway.
Monday night, a Navy Week special na-
tional broadcast is scheduled. from 9.30 to 10
p.m. (EST) • over the Dominion network of
the CBC.
Towns Are Good
CANADIAN TOWNS and smaller cora.
munities-such as Clinton—are good places
for industry to settle, according to a resolu-
tion passed by The Canadian Chamber of
Commerce at its recent annual meeting held
In Banff, Alberta.
In this resolution entitled "Decentraliza-
tion of Industry" it was, pointed out that there
is a trend in North America toward decent-
ralization; getting away from the big centres
of population into the smeller communities.
This is due to the proximinity of many smaller
towns to important new markets, and the in-
creased efficiency, improved public and human
relations which can be achieved in towns, the
Chamber's resolution stated. Decentralization
also is desirable from a defence and strategic
viewpoint.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce re-
solution urged its members to pursue a policy
of decentralization where economic end en-
gineering surveys indicate that it is desir-
able. The Chamber also recommended that
the Dominion government proceed without
.Places For Industry.
delay to decentralize war industries to re'dudd
the potential danger from bombi'ig and
sabotage.
The Canadian Chamber also urged that
the Canadian government establish a separate
Ministry of Supply to be responsible for in-
dustrial mobilization in the present emergency,
with government war spending soaring. Close
to 600 delegates at the national business meet-
ing devoted their chief attention to defence
matters, urging immediate action to coordin-
ate Canadian defence with the United States
and recommending greeter efforts to clear
away customs obstructions and other hurdles
to the greatest possible continental defence.
Considerable attention was directed to the
agricultural problems with resolutions adopt-
ed by the general meeting urging that greater
emphasis be placed on problems of soil erosion
and water conservation. The meeting also
urged that governmental action be taken to
guard against floods such as the one suffered
this year by residents of Manitoba.
- Milk Prices
MILK PRICES are moving up again. No
doubt increases in feed, labor and other costs
justify some advance but there is consider-
able resentment on the pert of consumers,
says The Financial Post. This feeling may
easily result in lower milk consumption and
In the end the producer will be no better off,
perhaps even poorer than before the raise.
That danger might have been avoided al-
together by better organization of the provin-
cial government appointed milk board's.
These boards are supposed to represent
all parties interested in the marketing of fluid
milk. In actual practice, however, they have
only represented the producer and the distrib-
utor, with the consumer left completely out
of the picture.
After all, when a provincial government
gives a board arbitrary power to fix the price
of a widely used commodity like milk, the
citizen who foots the bill is entitled to repre-
sentation.

The first responsibility of any business is
to give service to its customers. To do so it
must remain solvent. Profits are just as es-
sential as wages. A business which makes no
profit employs no one.

PRESBYTERIAL
WMS STAGES
FINE RALLY
The annual rally of the Huron
Presbyterial Women's Missionary
Society of the Presbyterian
Church in Canada was held Tues-
day, Sept. 12, in St. Andrew's
Church, Blyth.
The theme of the rally was
"Witnessing For Christ." Mrs.
Gordon Bisset, president of the
Presbyterial, used this theme as
the basis of her welcoming ad-
dress. She called attention to
the world-wide observance of the
Christian churches the first Sun-
day In October for the purpose
of closer fellowship of church
members. She also dwelt on the
preparation of Christ's disciples
for training as witnesses for Him.
His command to them "to go into
all the world and preach His
gospel," is the same for us today.
The devotional period, includ-
ing the Scripture reading and the
session of prayer, was taken by
the Belgrave, Seaforth, Goderich
and Auburn auxiliaries. The ad-
dress of welcome, written by
Mrs. A. E. Hasford, Blyth, was
read in her absence by Miss
Toll, The treasurer's report fol-
lowed, after which the reports of
the secretaries were given. Miss
Belle Campbell, Seaforth, gave a
very .instructive paper on the
next year's study books.

Vicar's new modernistic church
and was the first such congress
to be held since church union in
1925. The purpose was to bring
about an increased ,and better
informed membership of Presby-
terian churches.
Following greetings from the
Presbytery and the Lord's Pray-
er, a bountiful dinner was serv-
ed by the Blyth auxiliary, in the
schoolroom of the church.
The devotional part of the af-
ternoon's session was taken by
