When Ave say we have done our best, are we absolutely honest with ourselves. As we look back over the preparation of our: task, can we not at times see where we could have The Clinton News -Record with which is Incorporated THE NEW ERA TERIUIS' OF SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 per year in advance, to Can- adian addresses; $2.00 to the U.S. or other foreign countries. t No paper discontinued until all arrears are paid unless at the option of the pub- lisher.

Too often we leave things till we have to rush at them and consequently we have not got time to go over what we have clone even a second time. We can never honestly say we have done our best if we' have to 'hurry with the prepar- ation. At times it is necessary to hurry, 'but that does not alter the condition,! because .in hurrying we overlook things which otherwise we would see. There may be a reason for our haste, over which we have no control. If such be the case that to a certain extent takes the responsi, bility from us. In our work we go so far and feel we have one our best, but we let it go at that. There we stop withour task anything but perfect: One of the outstanding examples to the world of one doing his best is David Livingstone "who never knew when to stop." There were many times in his experience in South Africa. or 'on his furlough when we would have considered it' an opportune time for him to stop, but still he went on and finished a missionary career unequal- led by any human being: Jesus Christ, Himself, although tired and weary many times istill went on. He had iIiscouragements in His life, such as none of us will ever en - co -enter, but He did what many of His, followers did not do. He went quietly aside to pray. God heard Him, as He will hear us, and gave Him strength to early on His work. How little we realize the comfort and strength which we would receive from these little quiet times apart with Christ. We are so engrossed with the things of the world that we have little time for spiritual thought. There are many occurrences in the world today which we are powerless to help, but there are many things which we can do, but in order to do our best work we must, absolutely must, just take these little times apart. At the present time it is hard to look at conditions optomestically, but, when we realize that Cln'ist is still on His throne, the Ruler .of the world, we can have no doubt that everything will turn out as He has planned. We cannot be doing ow: best when we are worrying. The majority of us are trusting in our• selves instead of relying on God. If we can help matters by worry- ing, keep on doing it, but if not then et us put forth our best effort and leave the rest to God. Use the motto, "Let go — andi let God." God is coking for men and women who are brave and courageous at this present time. We may not be able to don a uniform to show that we belong to the British Empire, but we can put on the uniform of the King of Icings. It is that uniform which will event- ually save the day. We mist come back to God. That is an 'ndividual matter, and we, each. one of us, must settle it, May we attend to that mat- ter at once. Even one minute from now may be too late. One of the principal things which is necessary in our Iives from baby- hood to old age. Because we cannot see the final result of our work we, at times refuse to patiently carry on from day to day. Thus we miss the opportunity of doing our best work. CHURCH DIRECTORY THE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A.

GATEWAY TO MIDDLE EAST About to Be Opened Oat by London Engineers The Turkish Government have giv- en London engineers contract worth some .1200,000, to reconstruct harbour works at Alexandretta, consisting of a jetty with screwed -cylinder found- ation, sheds, railway lines and cranes. It is understood that a similar con- tract is pending for the port of Mer- sin across the gulf, the base of a Turkish army corps. Both Alexand- retta and Mersin are connected by rail with Aleppo. The Palet that they are so near this vital railway link be tween Turkey and Iraq, dominating North Persia and the Middle East. gives both ports considerable military importance, apart from their value at the moment for trade between Turk- ey and this county.

Unempkky ent Insurance Commission Letters of enquiry indicate that Regional Officials of the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission are en- ceuntering a good deal of misunder- standing among workers and employ- ers in regard to the proper functions of the workers' insurance books and stamps. In an effort to clear up these dif- ficuties, locally at least, Mr. R. N. Watt, Manager of the Employment and Claims Office gave the following statement to the News -Record: The insurance books and stamps provide a simple, inexpensive means of keeping records: of contributions made to the insurance fund by both employers and workers. They are supplied to employers by the Unem- ployment Insurance Commission and ing it most difficult to cope with the demand for more music, MISS CANADA'S COMPACT j the stamps may be purchased from Post Offices by employers holding necessary permits. Every worker, upon entering in- surable employment s assigned anin- surance book by his employer. This book will hear a serial number which j wiIl designate that worker through- out itis working lifetime, The em- ployer will detach the front cover from the book, fill in the informtion required and forward it to the Unem- ployment Insurance C'omniission. The books are designed to cover a year's record and are renewable only once a year. If one is lost or mislaid it may be replaced, upon the person re- sponsible taking a declaration and paying a fee of $1.00. It is im- portant that this be done as soon as !the loss is discovered. The books are not transferable. The stamps are issued in conven- ient denominations to cover the joint "daily or weekly contributions of the !requires, and the worker. The law requires' the employer to affix in his workers' books, the correct number of stamps of the required denomin- ations to cover their joint contribu- tions every payday, He will deduct tate workers' shares from their wages. The books provide a simple, accurate record, which inspectors and workers alike may check easily and quickly. Should the worker be laid off. or for any reason quit his job, the em- ployer is required to make his final entry of stamps and to ghee the book to the worker without delay. The worker has the right to examine his book at intervals that are mutually convenient to himself and his em- ployer andlie should check it care- fully when quitting his job. If the worker is going to a new job. he should deposit his book with his new employer .at mice and the latter . will continue the record of contribu- tions in the same book. An employer should not issue a new book to a worker who has been in insured em- ployment elsewhere. There are severe penalties provided for in the Act for any wilful or fraud- ulent misuse of an insurance book However, the regulations respecting the use of the books are easily follow- ed and if this is done the system will not be burdensome. Carries the Crest of her Sweetheart's Regiment Special arrangements have been made to allow Canadians on service in Britain to send home to their wives and sweethearts silverware bearing the insignia .of their regiments. Most of these souvenirs are enamel and silver cigarette cases and com- pacts, carrying regimental crests, with the unit's colours running across diagonally„ The itutltor'iiiies ,have! helped by waiving for these gifts the usual requirements of an export lic- i ence and exchange control forms. 1 The London silversmiths. who make j the souvenirs have clone similar work for many year's past, long before the Present war, and specially make the badges for all the principal Canadian ' regiments. Among the crests are those of the Royal Regiment of Can-' ada, Royal Canadian Corps of Sig- nals, Toronto Scottish, Essex Scot -j tish, Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadian), Calgary Highlanders, The Royal Canadian Regiment, Saskatoon Light Infantry (M.G.,) Carleton and Yorke Regiment, West Nova Scotia' Regiment, Royal Canadian Army Ser-' vice Corps.

London book binders are ingenious - 17 converting these old books, into a range ofj library fittings—Aottiryg pads, ink -stands, waste -paper baskets and book -ends'. Old-world looking, many of them beautifully tooled in gold and' bearing ornate armorial devices, these for- gotten volumes, bound in their day , by master craftsmen, are living again in the New World. Ink -stands are made by hingeing two volumes together, They can be left in the place• of the ordinary ink -I stand on time desk where, closed, they give am air of distinction. When the I top book is raised a two,welled ink-, stand is shown below. The blotters are made from. folio covers, mostly in Russian, leather or pigskin, leath- ers now made beautiful by their pat- ina. The waste -paper baskets are al- so folios, the covers of two volumes making the four sides. Book -ends are !composed of three or more books fixed together. The United States is buying these novelties in increasing quantities. One recent order from a single store was for s350 worth .of book ink- stands.

V SKY HARBOR REVIEWS YEAR , The annual meeting of the Hurt n County Flying Training Scheel Ltd., was held in Goilerich last Wednesday 'afternoon. The company operates No. 12 Elementary Flying Training- School at Sky Harbor. 1 President W. L. Whyte was in charge of the meeting and reviewed the year's operations. Some 60 shareholders were present. The com- pany had a very successful year. Ap- proximately 25,000 hours were flown during the period under review, which equals about 2,000,000 miles of flying:. This was accomplished without a fatal accident. However, two days after the final period for the year closed, the company had its first fatal accident at the IC.itchener-Waterloo Airport. The revenue for the period was $314,723.28 and the expenses $259,- 713,50, leavhtg a total excess of rev- enue over expenses of $55,009.78, of which only $10,378.12, representing the saving on office management and flying hour profit, taxable and avail- able for profit for the common stook. under the terms of the contract. The, excess profit tax amounted to $5.• 175,60, leaving a net profit for true • year of $5,202.52 for the common. stock. It is not anticipated that a dividend on the common stock will be declared at the present time. The balance of excess revenue over expenditures has been transferred t' the Dominion of Canada Contingent account from which $30,000 worth of interest free -bearing certificates have been purchased, along with $5,000.00 worth of Dominion of Canada Victory War Load Bonds, due in 1951. Directors elected were: W. L. Whyte, Seaforth; G. L. Parsons, Goderich; A. H. Erskine, Goderieh; John Douglas, Kitchener; R. J. Bow- man, Brussels; Knowlson Hue%ton, Gorrie, and Benson Tuckey, Exeter. Retiring directors include Flying 01 - fleas J. A. Murat and Thomas Piyde, now on active service, Hugh Hill, George Feagan and Wilmot Haacke. V OPEN SEASON FOR DEER District hunters are getting ready for a deer season in Bruce County.

While definite information is lack- ing, it is believed the season will be from November 10 to 18 inclusive.
