THE CI INTON , NRIVIS,RECORD,
His Red Cross Mother
FIGHTING through the mud and icy slush
of flooded battlefields, our boys in the front
line have Learned to bless the tens of thousands
of devoted women who labor as volunteer
workers for the Red Cross.
Through five years of war, these Canadian
"Blue Smock" workers have knitted hundreds
of thousands of pairs of socks ... made mil-
lions of other comforting articles of clothing
—packed millions of Red Cross food parcels.
Other specially -trained volunteer women serve
as drivers, as nursing aides, as office workers
and dietitians.
Mr• A. J. McMurray's Residence•
Preely giving their time and labor, these
hard-working . volunteers make your Red
Cross dollars stretch farther, Thanks to their,
efforts, each dollar you give is multiplied
three timer in the value of food, clothing and
medical supplies it buys.
GIVE—and give generously, to support their
selfless work. Let your contribution to the
Canadian Red Cross be the token of your
thanks to these devoted women who serve in
very truth, as "another mother" to your boy,
or your friend or neighbor in the fighting line.

We know that we' just go on in
this life one day at a time. Recently
a friend said, "When I go to bed at

usually those who cannot •think of
things like that who do the most for
others.
How many of us when we retire
after a strenuous, da'y's work take
time before sleep overtakes us to
examine our day and pick out the
many things'we'have done for which
we should ask God to forgive us?
How many times during the day
when we are tempted, to do what is
wrong do we say "Halt! Who goes
there?" So often we find it is
Christ's adversary but' he will try in
every" way to get past. As the sentry
has power to dispose of an enemy so,
we have authority front God to call
on Him and He will be all. sufficient
in helping us to halt the enemy and
this save ourselves from many
hours of remorse. '
Do we think We will . be forgiven
if we continually neglect to read
God's ward and: to come, to Him in
prayer?. We cannot expect any such
Forgiveness for we cannot grow in
grace and in faith if,,we do not
stand close to our guide. Thereare
many to -day who know nothing of
the contents of the Bible. 1.2 we
want to know about astronomy, or
history or zeolo y we must delve

get about it It is the same way
with Chrst. We cannot know about
Him if we stand -aloof from His
teachings.
D. L. Moody said' "One night this
Book, the Bible, was the driest and
darkest Book in the 'Universe to me.
The next day - it became entirely
different. I had been. .born of the
Spirit."
No-one else can ask God's for-
giveness for our sins and no one can
give us Salvation but Christ Jesus.

Deputy Chairmen Western
Natives
Ontario
Two natives of Western Ontario,
M. W. McOutcheon and Roy Geddes,
have been named deputy chairmen to,
Donald Gordon, head of the Wartime
Prices and Trade ' Board. Mr, Mc
Cutoheon, ,born in London, is the son
of the late F! . NL. C. McGuteheon, for-
mer principal of the London Col-
legiate Institube. He is chief of the
Board's pricing division and as depu-
ty chairman will have authority to
act for the chairman in prieing de-
cisions, and subsidy authorizations,
kr. Geddes was born in Zerra, Ox-
ford County. He is chief of the sup -
Pitt division -and as deputy ehairnman
will act for the chairman in matters
of 'supply. The other deputy- chair-
man ie Ken Taylor,- born in China,
the son of missionary parents.
v
Farm Machinery 'Situation
While the demand for farm ma-
chinery- stillexceeds the supply it is
the opinion of the farm machinery
administrator of the Wartime Pri-
ces and Trade Board' that the most
essential needs could be filled in all
areas through the co-operation of
distributors, dealers and farmers:
Special efforts are being made to en-
sure ample stocks of repair parts
and the Board has ruled that far -
mos disposingof used farm machin-
ery without theapproval of their.
rationing officer will not be given
approval for the. purchase of new.
farm machinery. Farm equipment
supplies for Canadian farmers are
equal to those being made available
to American farmers by United Sta-
tes authorities in relation to the out-
put in both countries during the year
1940 and 1941.
- v
Pricing Order Is Safeguard
Very .soon now women will be
wearing their new Easter finery, a
smart dress; suit or coat. Whether
the bills are footed by themselves
or their menfolk for the fact that
those bills aren't any higher they
may thank- the pricing system of the
Wartime Prices and Trade Board,
which• is proving a "watch dog" for
merchant and, customers alike.
According to the Western, Ontario,
regidnai pricing officer of the Board
merchandise which is sold today un-
der a, price ceiling should be approxi-
mately the same price as during the
Fall of 1941. However, in many'
eases, necessity has demanded sub-
stitution ofcertain materials. To
ensure proper pricing sof this substi-
tute merchandise, every inanufact-
urer must have 'his prices approved
by his industry administrator.' At the e
seine time the Retail + Administrator'
sets the- maximum price or mark-up a
for retail stores. The same procedure
is necessary for "new" or "dissimi-
lar" lines, he. said:
Although merchants should be es
informed be . their invoices of the an
maximum prices or mark-up if there
'is any doubt as •to' their correct maxi-
mum ;price they should apply to
nearest Wartirhe Prices and Trade
Board,. The fact that merchants were
adhering to this special pricing or-
der 414 was shown by the hundreds
of upplicatiotts' that were received at
the: regional office, he said., Proof
,that this pricing order was proving 1
satisfactory was shown in the f •c
that the shopper didn't have to ray
more for her finery under wartime
conditions he concluded. . a
stating it his health would permit
he would remain. The meeting closet
