Thompson of the 16th. concession of Godetnch'township,, "In assgmin'g the incumbency of St. John's Truro; in October last; the 'Rev., G. R. Thompson was advised by the Rural DeaNthathlie parish Was in ar- rears for missions and urged immed- iate effort t&make.as good a showing as possible, The Rural Dean stated that he could never remember when it was paid it :full before, Letters from the Diocesan office emphasized this. It h4ppened that the Bishop of Calgary was coming to Halifax and his services were offered the parish. They were,,accep.ted and addresses were given ,to the W.A. and the con- gregation as a whole. The forthright presentation of the facts were given by the Bishop. This laid the founda- tion for the participation by St. John's Church in the diocesan appeal made in all churches on Nov. 29th. In accord- ance this appeal was made for $1,271 to clean up arrears on 1941 assess- ment and most of the apportionment and assessment in 1942. Those using duplex envelopes were asked to give "something", and to double present giving to missions for the remaining five Sundays. In addition special literature was put out and sepcial envelopes circu- lated. At the end of the year, the par- ish bad paid $1,271 and carried a bal- ance of $36.7,9 over into 1943. Let- ters of thaks and congratulations came 'to i<hephrish front the Arch- bishop, the 'Diocesan Secretary -Trea- surer, Canon Dixon of the M.S.C.C. and the Rural Dean. The Bishop of Calgary wired his congratulation. It was not because the congregation had paid its quota as it should have clone will all other parishes bat be- cause it did so in such a brief period of time. Optimism and enthusiasm highlighted the annual meeting held on January 18. There is a current de ficit $1,942 (one dollar for every year) accounted for partly by the decoration of the rectory. The new •budgetplans to wipe this off this year. Plans are being made for an every member can- vas and lists are being prepared for the Princess Mary Guild which is out to get the Canadian Churchman read in as many homes as possible. The parish has adopted the slogan -"Our. finest in serviee for Christ and the Church in 1943."

Get in The February Food Stamp Sale "Food Industry's March to Berlin" which is being enthusiastically car- ried on by food merchants across Can- ada during the month of February is meeting with wonderful sueecss'in the sale of War Savings Stamps, some merchants ;reporting their quotas already nearly reached. The resulting War Savings Certificates will prove very welcome nesteggs when peace- time quality merchandise is again av- ailable. This proves that Mr. and Mrs. Canadian. Citizen are responding nobly to their Nation's call for ,financial aid in the supreme war effort now in progress, and it is hoped that ev- eryone while shopping for their needs will show their appreciation of being able to still do so, by buying all the War Stamps they possibly can, and. give their merchants the helping hand they deservein undertaking this ha - portant project, the result of which concerns us all. , V OBITUARY JAMES FLYNN In tire death of James' Flynn, which occurred at his home, Princess street on Thursday Feb. 4th, at the age of 80 years, Clinton has lost one of its most widely known residents anda business man of over 50 years.

BRING YOUR FARM MACHINERY PROBLEMS WARTIME PAMPHLET ON WOOL MARKETING It can never be profitable to market reject wools, !Success in the produc- tion of wool, in war as in peace, de- pends to a large degree upon the quality of the product, and every sheets raiser should strive to produce and market wool of outstanding .qual- ity, is a reminder given in the War- time Production Series Pamphlet, No. 68 "Production and Marketing of Wool" just issued by the Agricultural Supplies Board. Factors contributing to more high quality wool production and also to the successful marketing of wool are fully dealt with. Of great importance arc the feeding and management of the flock, and the proper procedure to be followed its shearing the wool and in rolling, tying, . and packing fleece is essential in producing- wool of high market value. An explanation of the present wool marketing system 's given in the pamphlet with a few- comments ewcomments on the grades and classes of Canadian wool. Other pamphlets of- the Wartime Production Series are No. 17 Care of the Fleece; N. 18 Canadian Fleece Wool; and No. 65 Canada "Urgently Needs More Wool.

V The Jams have renewed their 'hands off each other' treaty with ,Soviet Russia. But .Stalin has probably in- creased his armies; in Serbia. 'The problems of the next peace will be more varied and more pressing than those of 25 eyars back. We shall have to fight .and 'sacrifice to maintain that peace -at home and abroad -if we are really sincere with our child- ren.

Every political leader has one -or more, We wonder sometimes how many, ofthese will ever see the light of legislative actuality.
