Honored by Parish

Gifts from: 1Congregation
(iFrom .The Eorder Ciies Star)
Reluctantto go, untaible to stay,
Rev. iCann !Edward Aippleyard,
bode• farewell yesterday to the con-
gregation of the 'Anglican !Church rof
the AsIcension a't 'London street and
MdKay avenue.
His Final Sertnon
-Called ."'as a fellow laborer with
Christ to another little 'corner Of
iGod's great vineyard," Canon Apple -
yard delivered his last sermon at the
evening service, a simple yet 'forceful
Message.
'Even -as St. !Paul in his !fifth epistle
)to the infant church of ,Philippa dds-
oribecl them "My fellow laborers,
whose names are in the •book of life."
so Canon Appleyard paid tribute to
the "noble -men and women of the
,congregation in whose tniclst he .had
qlwelt for more than three years.'
"I wish IGocl's blessing on you 011 --
(fellow laborers with Christ. 'I can't
peak higher praise, give higher 'hon-
or or dignity than to say that you are
just feilow laborers with Christ," was
Canon Appleyard's -concluding pro-
nouncement.
Capacity Congregations
'Capacity congregations -greeted Ca-
non Appleyard on his last day te the
Church of the Ascension 'for early
ICammunion, the morning .prayer and
the evensong. The departing 'rector
also attended the ,afternoon Sunday
Gchool. It had been a strenuous day
for him,
Representatives of she city's ser-
vice clubs and a large 'contingent of
Prince iEdward post ,of the tOanadian
'Legion attended the morning service.
Canon iAppleyard, who Won his Mil-
itary Cross as a stretcher bearer at
Vimy 'Ridge, is the retiring chaplain
of that unit.
Evening -prayer, with full choral
service, was deeply impressive. Girl
Guide and Boy ;Scout troops partici-
pated and the Union Ulacks and stand-
ards of their unit, carriedbehind the
'Crucifix, added a 'flare of color to -the
even t.
UnusuallY Effective
'Church of the Ascension, owing to
its triangular formation, permits a
ceremonial of ,untisal effectiveness.
The processional entered the church
from the wings at right and .left of
the chancel and, winding down the
side aisles, joined at the entrance and
turned back into the nave. The same
-procedure was followed at recessional.
Last night's service marked a spe-
cial effort tby the Men's Club of 'the
-church, Members and their ,wires, and
other congregational workers attend-
ed in ,unusually large numbers. A full
choir excelled itself under the direc-
tion of J. IH,. Marsden.
"It's a splendid title, fellow laborer
with !Christ," reminded Canon Apple -
Yard. "Jesus Christ used the same
terrn with His disciples. They 'were
!fellow- laborers with .Him. There are
-many today who would like some-
thing to do. It .grows irksome and
-very tiresome for them .as the days
go by and ,they have nothing to do.
fit makes one realize the value 'of oc-
cupation --just something- to do. ?And
want you to take .this thought twith
you into the organization of the
Christian -church, there is something
for you to do, a little niche for you
to fill.
No Higher Connection.
It may he some simple thing that
:God gives you to do, but we ,eauldn't
have a higher ,connection than to
work with Him. Ard how He did
work, going through -Paiestine. The
gospels are filled with the things He
did and 1 -Is wants ils to link ourselves
with His -work."
Canon Appleyard didn't want his
sermon to he co.nstrued as a farewell
address.
"I hope to he here with you more
than once in the days that are to
come," he said. "My successor will be
sending me invitations to came and I
shall be sending him invitations to
help me in my ,new -parish,
"And .whether we work -here or
elsewhere," Canon Appleyard remind-
ed, we always have the bond of
• fellowship which binds us all—we are
fellow laborers •With II -Di 171. We .mercly
shift the -scene of .1alhar. It's the same
work in another little corner of God's
great vineyard."
Pays Tribute.
Canon -Appl.eyard 'paid a sincere
tribute to thtose he, is leaving behind,
"I -Dow •faithful many of you ,have
been," he observed "St. Paul spoke
•of the noble women twho had helped
him. 1 can follow this examtple and

Praises Men's Club.
Canon Appleyard- spoke waninly of
the deeds of the Men's ,Clutb, Which is
serving its -1.fith year.
"I want to say that last winter
many unemployed men, ragged and
weary, ,found a -welcome front your
club, found the right hand of 'fellow-
ship. You are doing, perhaps, a
greater work than you irealize, a .nable
work, and I urge you to continue and
increase your tabor in -this legitimate
work olf ,the church."
Canon ,Alppleyard, in his 'valedictory
remarks, -declared: "The dearest and
greatest treasure 1 carry away is the
knowledge of your good will. `I know
of no friction .in the church. I know
of the kindness you have shown me.
And now :I thank you for it. The
greatest treasure of my life is the rich
experience 1 have gained in your
midst I regret going in many ways.
itt is hard to leave where there .has
been such kindness, harmony and co-
operation,"
Plea for Successor.
The, rector pleaded for the congre-
gation to "rally around" his successor,
Rev. F. V. Vair who cones to !Wind-
sor from AVallaceburg on 'Dec. 4th.
"Buck hien up," he exbarted. "You
can't appreciate -how inspirational it
is to a minister to have large congre-
gation,s."
"Chris dainty," reminded Canon
Appleyard, "is fighting with its back
to the wall. And Jesus Christ is send-
ing -but an appeal to His fellow
laborers to he more true and He also
seeks the aid of those who have been
withOlding th,ir -support."
After the evening -service, the Par-
ish Hall was the scene of a further
demonstration olf the congregation's
affection for its departing rector.
IA number -ef well chosen and use-
ful articles were presented to Canon
and Mrs. 'Appleyard, including an
easy chair, a reading lamp and a
smoking stand for Mr. Appleyard and
a chair for !Afrs. .A.ppleyarcl, The
presents were gifts of the congrega-
tion and of church organization's.
Thomas O'Brien, the people's war-
den, and Henry Barnes, the rector's
warden, .were in charge of the closing
exercises in the hall.

ORITAIN DEMANDS
QUALITY BACON.
Prom the standpoint of the Canad-
ian .producer, Perhaps one of the
most important effects of th,e regula-
tion of imports of bacon by Britain
will be the prevention of gluts, in the
market. The objective will undoubt-
edly he to steady supplies so as not
to have, on the other side, abnormal-
ly ltigh price's which are injurious to
consnme.ns, nor, on the other side, ab-
normally lot prices, which are in-
jurious to producers, If this is ac-
complished •and conditions created
reasonably favourable to hog pro-
cluetion by their .hante farmers, it
should assure to Canadian farmeris a
fair opportunity,
Canada's Part in the Plan.—iIn this
plan Caloada has been .given a special
place; 2,500,000 cw't. has been reserv-
ed, Which this country will have an
oPoortunity to supply. Alt 1112 lbs par
cwt, the amount is 2.440,000,000 • llbs„
which, on a basis of 120 lbs. of ex-
cept product per hog, is equal to 2,-
000,000 'hogs. In other words, Canada
has the opportunity to produce each
year for the British Market, under re-
gulated cobditions, 2,300,000 hogs. It
would not be 'wise or feasible for
Canada to attempt, at once, to in-
crease production to realize the ex-
port of 2,000,000 hogs pens year.
It must he recognized absolute-
ly and unequivocably ,that
crease 'in nun -kers should :be only
of the quality to •make export-
able bacon. The ,present numbers
oif unexportable tonality must he
reduced.
As the agreement for a 'period of
five years, Cana a, w , itt that time,
;have the opportunity af 'building up
her hog production on a quality basis,
and after that, if the agreement, or
some other agreement, is continued,
' should..be in an assured position. In.
'any event, during this period a fOot-
:bald should have been attained which
would permit 'Canada to meet compet-
ition.
'What 'Britain will require of 'Can-
' ada,—ro take advantage of the op-
portunity offered it is reasonable that
'Canada will be expected to do three
things:
;Supply first class quality of
bacon.
01*,
Maintain a supply in steady vol-
ume throughout the year.
Increase .the supply front year
to year so as presently bo take up
the whole volume 01 the allot-
ment.
The (British Governnient has stip-
ulated that the product shall be Of
"good quality" and it is reasonable
that Canada should be expected to
supply bacon of a quality equal to
that no'w enjoyed by the ,British Con-
sumer. It is also .reasonable that the
supply should be steadily maintained.
itt is expected that Great Britain, will
p rogressli vely tsedu se the •importations
'from foreign countries, but this, of
course, will .only be possible if Can-
ada is in a position to fill the delic-
ietni:intitio
eyishcf t'progressively incg
reaslin
cl
Canadian 'bacon,
af this programme is to be met,
each Province will have to set • its
'house in order, and do its •part in the
production of quality and' quantity ac-
cording to its cOntlitions. Ontario. pro-
duces the best quality olf hogs in Can-
ada. It is from Ontario that the bulk.
of export product has been secured.
This Province •then Occupies a key
position in the situation now develop-
ing.
'Ontario is now producing- approxi-
matoty as% of the select bacon grade,
and about 55% of the bacon grade of
hogs, If this 'Province is to do her
part in taking advantage Of the oPPor-
tunity offered, an objective of 40%
of selects and 50% of bacons, and an
incnease of 1715,000 hogs per year for
five years will be necessary.
IThe plans for .the regulation of
'bacon imports into ,Britain v01,1 take
:some little time to be made effective,
and Ontario .would not be in a posi-
tion to take advantage of them if they
were immediately effective, It is then,
:very evident that action •should the
based en •the exPectationts of the
.tature and certainly not on conditions
of the present, The price of 'hogs is
loiw and may not, in the near
future, be very ;high. P.m action to
