"Out of the many afflictions and anxieties which have beset us dur- ing these dreadful years, there has emerged one happy truth. We now have the sure knowledge that how- ever wide the seas may lie between and 'however wide the differences which must (and indeed between all free and virile peoples should) arise, our lives are joined one to the other for all time. The way in which Allied troops have met and mixed in every sort of surrounding and condition is 'a happy augury for the future, and we must look forward to many fruit- ful years of planning and co-opera- tion, when every ounce ef energy and every grain of our faith, will be called upon. "In these days of rejoicing we pause to remember many things; but above all we remember the deep kindness we have received front you overseas, a kindness which, from its psychological as well as its practical aspect, has been as valuab:e to us as a million bombers. For all the clothing, money and food you have sent us, and above all ' for all your faith and encouragement in our darkest days we can never thank you enough and we can only pray that in the coming years we may continue together in the most com- plete understanding the building of a new world."

It rained so hard all day that few hunters in this district were hardy enough to brave the elements to tseke a pot shot at them even if there were any to be shot at, In these parts, the duck season closes December 15, so there is still plenty of time for the boys to get out their decoys and construct their hides. If they ever run into a flock of ducks early some fall morning, they are allowed to take away 15 birds each: The season for wild geese opens November 1 and closes January 10. )Extension Lectures Offered by UniveeYsity Of Western Ontario The University of Westet'n Ontario continues to offer its extension lec- tures to the citizens of this district.

Re was assisted by Rev. C. F. L. Gilbert, Seaforth. ' The Harvest Horne theme was carried out at both services. The church was appropriately .decorated fdr the occasion and the choir ren- dered special music. The evening service of Wesley -Willis United Church was withdrawn. The' Bishop took his text from Luke 9:18: "Give ye theta to eat." He emphasized the feet that the Master had said that "we do not eat by bread alone" and that He was "the .bread of Iife," "I plead the cause of a spiritually hungry people, of the people - of Arctic Canada." he declared. Return- ing a month ago from a point 120 utiles north of the Arctic Circle, he had found the people faced today with a strange problen5.. Prices were terribly high there, a 100 pound. pag of flow selling at Ablavik, as compared ' with $10. at Edmonton, Alta, it costing $6. to transport it to the, Arctic. Bishop Fleming pointed out that his diocese covers one-third of the Dominion of Canada, and that the Church of England was the only non - Roman Catholic group doing work there. "I know of no finer people on earth than the Canadian Eskimo; the better 1 understand them, the more I love then," he stated. 0 Huron County Leads All In Production of Barley Huron County is expected to xe e t againain this year the fine record un' h uplast yearproduc- inghung at inpoduc- ing the largest quantity of barley grown in any county in the whole Province of Ontario.
