DORLAND LECTURES (Continued from page 1) !Sir Roger Casement was hanged, and 'English troops kept order in ,the country until the close pf the war. In Professor Dorland's opinion, England was guilty of two very grave tactical errors in dealing with this uprising. First, it a mistake itobreak her was ,pledged word regarding conscription, for, by so doing, she not only broke frith with Ireland, but destroyed Mr, Redmond's already declining prestige among his own people.

"For one thins;," the speaker re• marked humorously, "Ireland is n longer able to lay the blame for ev- ery evil at Britain's door." Mr. Cos- grave, the leader of the Government, and his contemporaries, have many problems facing then'', the solution of which will demand practical common sense and wise, sane leadership. For instance, there is the question of a national language, the compulsory Leaching of the Erse •or Gaelic in the schools, Also, there is the Shannon project,—the development of the wat- er -power of this river, which would be a great advantage industrially to the country, because of the lack of a supply of coal. In closing, Professor Dorland spoke briefly but eloquently of the natural beauties of Ireland, and pro- phesied that the day will come when there will be a united Ireland, and Ulster will be a part of the Irish Free State. CAR TO THE WEST (Continued from page 1) You see, it is a saying that there has been no good crop since 1919, but for the past three years, the crop has been an absolute failure, The com- munity is bankrupt and there is a pos- sibility that the schools will be un- able to reopen after Christmas on ac- count of lack of funds. To meet individual need we took the number in .each family as a basis. We found the average household within our area to be roughly 4.8. When; the car arrived, we made a careful inventory of its contents so that we knew to a nicety just how many bags of turnips there were, how many carrots, beets, cabbage, etc. How many bags of apples, etc. How many sealers of fruit. We then divid- ed each quantity by 200, which gave as the share of the average family of five. Then working backward in de- creasing shares we arrived at the bachelor's share and working for- ward, we arrived at the maximum share of the family of nine. This schedule we followed throughout in the distribution of the goods. Of course we made other arrangements for those who received a salary and those who were "well fixed", but we made it possible for everyone to have a share of the car load and no one was ignored. One titan—the banker received about ten lbs. of apples and paid us store price for thein --- which will help to meet the ;`over- head and expense" at this end. This system, apparently justified itself by its works, for I have yet to hear the: First whisper of dissatisfaction. It is a matter of very great satisfaction to the committee in charge of distribu- tion that not one single individual in an area covering roughly 180 square miles was left out of account and ev- eryone received "something from On- tario". Your car benefitted, it is safe to say, well over one thousand souls. I think you will be glad to know that. Concerning the light and shade of our experiences, it has been hard work but I would not have missed it for much. Much of our religion is up in the air. By your generosity we were able to bring it clown to earth, I One man expressed it: "This is what I I call real Christianity". It is. Will l you please convey to all who helped so splendidly our heart -felt thanks. Yours sincerely, C. J. Beckley, Pastor of United church. P.S. It has been a constant source of wonder to me how you managed to get so much into the car. When we opened the doors, we were greet- ed by four large pumpkins which fell out—almost upon our heads. From that moment until the last bag was removed our surprise increased. We.

Dear Sir;— In reply to the communication of "A Ratepayer" in the last week's ,edi- tion tion of your paper, kindly publish the ferllowing item in reply; THE IDLE CRITIC NUISANCE Every community is cursed with the idle critic, An idle critic is one who never takes an active part in the community affairs, never joins any organization for the betterment or the advancement of the community, never contributes a cent to help any movement or organization that is working to benefit the community. His chief activity is to stand aside, mouth his opinions and objects,: and find fault with and criticize the work RY�I EN tit ret ort of those who are trying to do some- thing in a public way. If any local NO scheme fails he is the one to shout fai the loudest "1 told you sol And the trouble is that the idle critics have some influence. There are always those who are willing to listen to ob- jections. There is an old saying that nothings succeeds like success, and once a public movement is an the way to success, there are plenty to fall in line and work with the major- ity. These idle critics are' a great nuisance. They are found not only in our muniicpal work, but, our church work, and in all social movements. It is very discouraging to the alert and progressive citizens who have to fight such objections, because the idle critics do not fight in the open, but stand aside and whisper their doubts, shrug their shoulders and im- pute selfish and personal. motives. Many worthy and worthwhile move- ments have been killed by such ad- verse and insidious critics, and it re- quires a determined and courageous citizen to stand up against them. Yours titllf, Another Ratepayer. DONNYBROOK The W. M. S. will meet on Thurs- day afternoon. 'of this week in the basement of the Church. Misses Elaine Bamford and Mar- jorie Campbell;:%of the G. C.
