WOMEN'S WORLD DAY
OF PRAYER PLANNED
FOR FRIDAY, FEB. 21
The Women's World Day of Prayer
• will be observed this year on Friday,
February 21, he Wes ey-Willis Unite
ed Church at three o'clock. Women
from all over the world will join Leoffering prayer and intercession
God for this troubled world. Surely
there was never a tinge hi the history,
of the world when the prayers and
supplications of all professing •Chris-
tians were so sorely needea,
Last year's contribution of $17,67
from the World Day of Prayer meet
ing was 'used for the painting and
distributing of Christian Literature
among women and children through-
out .the world.
' The World Day of Prayer has been
a ,wonderful medium through which
tere has' been: created' 'a body of
Christian fellowship among women of.
the world. We are becoming in-
creasingly aware of what can be clone
throngh the United efforts of Chris
Cans in a community and in the
worldJ. Women of one denonunation
alone cannot always succeed in doing
the things needed in any community,bat with other ehunch women they
can be assured of more strength,
interest, sunnort ands success. There
is •a power in the united study and
•prayer of women, as proved by the
observance of such e, day as the World

Early Chicks
Recalls Courage Of W. J. (Bill)Paisley
Clinton's Policeman Many Years Ago:
By C. Mortimer Bezeau, Kitchener
An item in your "40 Years Ago"
carried me back to my early youth
and stirred' memories of the beetle
days during the "eighties" : of the
last century. Tire item in question'
recorded the funeral of O. S. Doan
at which W. J. Paisley and J. Wheat-
ley acted as pallbearers.
W. J. (Bill) gaisley was-Olinton's
policeman as far back' as my mem-
ory takes ane along that line. Ile was
a fine speciman of physical man-
hood, standing about six feet six
inches, broad in proportion, but:not
coa'pn,len±--a veritable mountain of
bone and c'ruusele. Iris strength and
courage were equal to his size, Many
said he did not know the meaning of
fear. Iris mentality was such as to
render him equal to any emergency.
During the early days of the (Scott
Act he joined the law-enforcement
staff of the Ontario Government, In
those days a few places defied the.
law ayid ran wide open; and a good -
deal of courage was required .at '
g times
to serve stlmrnonses- on the law
viohators. T recall the case of one
constable who was sent to serve
swm.monsee in one place in Huron
County. In some manner word that
he was ea his way, arrived ahead
of him; and:he was met at the bridge
than had to be crossed.to reach the
town where the summonses were tp
be served. Iris horse was turned
back, Ile resigned his job. Later,
Bill Paisley served the summonses.
On. another oecas•Ion, Bill Peasley
served summonses/ in a certain towns
then put up in one of the hotels for
the might before going on to the
next place. About the time that he
was ready to retire he heard load
and angry voices in the barroom
below; then the sound of many feet
on the stair and along the 'corridor
leading to his room; teen 'a loud
knock on .his door, ' and a voice de-
manded, "Open up and crane out:'
Turning the key in the door. Bill
stepped quickly back and called,"
"Come in." When the door opened
the leaders of the gang saw standing
before then. a mountain, of muscle
with a revolver in each 'hand;: and
they heard a voice say: "Well, gentle'
men, what ,have you on your minds?"
The details of what followed were
not sufficiently startling to become
fixed in memory;' but it is safe to
say that, like the Arabs' in the story,
'the gang folded their : tents and
silently melted away."

this year, in order to increase the fall

The News -Record.
Clinton, Ontario.
DEAR SIRS:
Thank you for signing and return-
ing the contract for our 1947 ad
vertising,
You may recall our letter about
this time last year announcing a
4,000,000 lb. increase in `<SALA;DA"
sales over our previous peak. In 1916
we exceeded that peak by over 2,500,-
000 lbs. We attribute these very
gratifying figures first of all to the
quality of our tea and second to what
we believe to be a sound advertising
policy, As you probably are aware,
ever since this business was founded
iru 1892, the most important feature
of its advertising has been news-
papers and we think it only fitting
to acknowledge to you, as a publisher,
the value eve place on newspapers
as 'r medium 44 advertising.
With best wishes for 1947, we are,
Tours truly,
SALA,DIAI TEA. CONIPAN'k
