HURON DIOCESE TO RAISE $100,000 London—An objective of $100,000 was set as the amount to be raised in the Diocese of Huron towards the restoration of the funds lost in the five Western diocese, through. the Machray defalcations, at a meeting of the newly organized diocesan com- mittee for this purpose, Right Rev. C. A. Seager, Bishop of Huron, is the chaiman of the ex- ecutive committee, and Walker Whiteside of Windsor, was named as general chairman of the committee. Judge Morley, Owen Sound; Colonel G. H. Ellis and Gerald Pearlson, of London, are the vice-chairmen. It is hoped to reach their object- ive by May 1, and educational and inspirational work towards this end will be proceeded with throughout the diocese until the final week in April, when every church member will be canvassed. Acting seperately, but in co-opera- tion with the men, the women's or- ganization in the diocese will devote their activities towards the restorat- ion fund. The young people's assoc- iations and the Sunday schools will also assist. In each rural deanery in the dio- cese a district organization will be formed, which will be instrumental in the organization of individual par- ish work. Literature explaining the whole situation is being sent in a series from Toronto to the parishes. Public meetings will be arranged in the main centres, and radio broad- casts will be sent out. This movement locally is a part of a national campaign on the part of the Church of England in Canada to replace the lost funds. WESTERN ONTARIO LIBERALS ORGANIZE Fred G. Sanderson, M.P., for South Perth, was elected president of the newly formed Western Ontario Lib- eral Association at a meeting held irt Hyman Hall, London. There were 500 followers there, representing 14 counties and 57 provincial and feder- al ridings. The purpose of the new org-a.niza- bon is to "spread the principles of i •Liberalism throughout the district" Other officers chosen were: Honor- ar3r presidents, the federal and pro- vincial leaders; honorary vice-presi- dents, senators and elected members of Western Ontario to both federal and provincial parliaments: vice-pres- idents, Mrs. W. C. Kennedy, Wind- sor; Miss Gertrude Rankin, Stratford; G. A. P. Brickenden, London; Dr. J. E. Shaw, Clinton; Eric Cross, Sim- coe; secretary, Paul Gravelle, Lon- don; solicitor and counsel,. Douglas Bell, Chatham; treasurer, Colin Suth- erland, Woodstock. The executive is to consist of these officers together with two represent- atives from each of the provincial and federal ridings, to be selected by the riding association as soon as possible. LOOKING FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE Two interesting reports have just been released. by Coporate Investors Limited, with headquarters in Tor- onto, ancl with which are identified some of the leading financial and in- dustrial men of Canada. The reports are accompanied by the investment portfolio, consisting of Government, City and Corporation securities. The first purchases were made in June, 1932, when security prices were at their low levels, and are confined ex - elusively to well •diversified holdings of high. grade securities giving safety - with a high degree of liquidity and good income. The Economic Review outlines the domestic and international develop- ments during the past sixteen months and indicates how these have affect- ed investments and the market price of securities. One of the outstanding facts of the present period which will bear em- phasis is that Canadian financial in- stitutions have come through the try- ing period in a most creditable way. For example, we have not had a sin- gle bank failure in a decade, while in the 'United States in the same period of teh or eleven years, 10,000 banks have closed and 5,000 others have had to receive financial assistance. It is this kind of careful, conservative guidance that should place Canada in position to reap substantial bene- ts with the turn of the tide• t.LIMAITOLIVMM811111,14443 CATA1.114.1611,111.1n1•19.1.105.0.2169,11921,11MAIVIVIRMMetineiMiell.9.30,111/e1.11360.7.11.1[0.043:=8111.11WIMPV11.....RMI1101.1 kr,: 1ctileaa, a'relst‘ir, T mutergenosserstrminuostaresafterates ..vnion..stmgreartftimosarerintenvelomarmalrytrzeree,rormtvie ARE YOUR SYRUP PANS AND SAP BUCK- ETS IN GOOD CONDITION?

THE WINOHAM ADVANCE-TINIES The review points out the material achievements in Great Britain, :vitich faced far more serious problems than Canada. In this respect the review says in closing:• "The British Empire has all down through the centuries built: up the tra- dition of doggedly solving. the prob- lems of each crisis. In retrospect, when we consider the accomplish ments of 1931 and 1932, the results appear incredibly good, The serious concern of the British people result- ed in setting aside party lines and forming a National government. This was an accomplishment of first ord- er. The balancing of the British bud- get and the successful conversion loan were unbelievably good accomp- lishments. The masterpiece of ac- complishments in Europe, however, was the bringing together of Europ- ean powers at Lausanne. The bring- ing together of France and Germany in common accord would have been regarded as an utter impossibility two years ago. Yet that has been ac- complished. The right about face fiont the century old trade policy of Britain, through the force of her em- ergencies was another almost incred- ible step. 'The Empire Conference was but the logical following out of this changed trade policy, The fine way in which the British 'have risen •to the Successive emergencies should be an inspiration to us at the present time and should fortify us in our de- termination to do our part in main- taining British traditions." "In view of these far reaching ach- ievements we should realize that ma- teiial progress has been made, which amply justifies facing our future with courage and confidence." H. & K. TELEPHONE ANNUAL MEETING Telephone rates could be reduced, and still leave the company in a good position, it was reported to the sub- scribers of the Huron and Kinloss Telephone System, holding their an- nual meeting in Huron township hall, Neil McKay, president, was the chairnan. Presenting his report, the President pointed out that 1932's sleet storm had cost the company considerable money. "The system has been operated as inexpensively as possible and still it is found that the rate to the 'subscriber, regardless of the high cost of operation can be re- duced," said Mr. McKay. Mr. McKay was re-elected Presi- dent, FREE TREES Ontario Forestry Branch Supplies Free Trees for Forest and Wind 4 Break Planting The Ontario Government Forestry Branch will supply free of charge 500 trees for wind break planting and 3,- 500 trees for forest planting each year, to any farmer in the Province of Ontario.
