Canada's Airpower Takes Right -of -Way
/
1
Airpower will win this war ... airpower plus navy
— airpower plus army — airpower plus total
resources.
The Commonwealth Air Training Plan is pro-
ducing airpower at top speed: 4000 training
planes flying a million miles a day from 92
training centres: 5000 more being delivered this
year from Canadian factories: soon 23 Cana-
dian squadrons in Britain, more to follow.
This vast programme means literally thou-
san.ds of additional telephone calls, urgent
calls, calls that trust get through promptly
if the job of fitting~ v. -digs to Empire is to
proceed without drelay.
Perhaps your telephone line doesn't carry
messages directly concerned with (;anada's
production of airpower. But avoiding de-
lays on your line helps clear others that
do, because yours is part of an interlrtr:h.
ing system. So . avoid delays, use War-
time Telephone Tactics and help speed
Canada's wartime production.

Rev. Fulton invin
Observes Jubilee'
Two veteran United Church clergy-
men, who were ordained together,
and whose combined service iu the
church totals Itle years marked their
jubilee last. week. They are Rev. S.
R. .11eV itty, of 32 Wellington street.
St. Thomas. and Rev. R Fulton
Irwin, of Kingsville.
Together in early life in Ireland,
their lives have not only followed
similar paths in many ways, hilt
have brought therm together eingular-
ly at several titres. They are still
'great friends, and only last week,
1Ir. I11'61 visited Mr, .licVitty, whose
illness eonllnes hint to his home, to
talk over "all the good old times
together."
Rev. G. N. Hazen, rutted Church
ar'ehivist for London Conference, says
records show Mr. McVitty and Mr.
Irwin were received in the old Meth-
odist Church as candidates for the
ministry in Ireland in 1892 and both
came to Canada about that time,
They served four probationary
years as preachers, were together at
Victoria College in 1894-95, and were
formally ordained together at the
Conference held at Stratford in 1896.
Their records as ministers, however,
date back according to the practice of
the church to their reception in 1892.
There for a time, the lives of the
two ministers separated. Mr. Mc-
Vitty's first preaching charge was
with the old Queen's Avenue Method-
ist Church, which later become Met=
ropolitan United, London, He was an
assistant in those days,
111:r. McVitty accepted a charge at
Rodney, and as the years rolled
along, he was successively at Merlin,
Delaware, Sparta and Essex, going
from there to the principalship of the
Mount Elan Industrial Institute at
Muncey. He was 25 years in this pos-
ition, making an outstanding success
of it. lir. McVitty retired in 1934 ow-
ing to ill health, but still keeps up his
church contacts.
Mr, Irwin, following his ordination,
built up for himself a remarkable
record as a vigorous preacher, fear-
less in the pulpit and unfailingly true
to his convictions.
During this month he recalled to
memory of older ministers present
at London Conference jubilee ordina-
tion service that in his early preach-
ing days he had no holiday.
"In 46 years preaching I have
never lost one Sunday out of the
pulpit through illness," he said. "And
some of you younger fellows will not
like this...but in the first 20 years
of my ministry, I never had a
holiday."
As recounted above, Mr. Irwin's
life parallels that of Mr. McVitty
until after ordination in 1896.
Mr. Irwin, after ordination, went
back to Ireland for a short visit. was
married there, and then returned to
Canada with his bride.
Then followed one of the most
active preaching careers in the his-
tory of the church. He took preach-
ing charges at Adelaide Village.
where he had charge of a circuit of
three churches. After that he was
successively at Arkona, Westminster,
Thamesville. Harrow, Wheatley, Glen-
coe. Seaforth, Centralia and Comm.
retiring at the same time as Mr. Mt'-
Vitty, in 1934.
Mr. Irwin in 1913 *as eec•retel'y of
the conference. and several times
was financial secretary. a position
that eorresponds to the present posi-
tion of presbytery 1reasnrei'.

Bible, when the little boy suggested
they ought to write 'something
nice" inside the cover. "T know

"With the Author's compliments."
