The guest speaker for ,the day was
iss S. Smythe, who. was introduced
y Mrs. C. Tavener. Miss Smythe has,
pent a number of years as "worker'
t large" in Cochrane Presbytery and
he very graphically described this
cork and the conditions in that part
I'. Northern Ontario. Community
riendship work and Christian .educa-
on were 'her two' radii.' lines of en-
eavor. The vocation schools had a
ery important place in this work.
hey showed the need for regular
chools and Sunday Schools, and quite
requently these followed. Much of
iss Smythe's work was done among
eople from Southern Ontario who
ad gone north on the "back -to -the,-
nd" project. The mining towns and
ities, such as Timmins, with a large
ercentage of their .population new
anadians, provided ample opportun-
y for the missionary. She told tno
f the over -crowded conditions in
iese places, not ,only in the homes,
ut in the Sunday schools. Helping
ese new people establish theta -
elves and make contacts was oae
sk and 'privilege. "These pe ,pie

thrde is Brigadier Edging louts. IlurnS,
O•�••E•, I ,C., forMerly Assistant Dev-
itt/ Chis. •.of 'Staff at Ottawa and now
QE the General staff of the Canadian
Corps in England. Possessing what
is said to be one of the best brains
in the army, he works like a beaver
and seems to make no -enemies.
Brigadier Burns wastes. no tine in
arguing about errors of the past; his
whole concern is with, the tasks of
the present and the future. With
,.Brigadier Edson Louis Burns,
O.B,E., M.C., General Staff, Can-
adian Corps in England.
Churchiilian candor, offering no ali-
bis, he tackles this own share of the
herculean task of helping to turn the
balance against the vastly superior
equipment and the forces we face,
Brigadier Burns was born in West -
mount, educated in public schools of
St. Thomas, Ont., and Lower Canada
College, Montreal. Headed early for
the army, he, went to Royal Military
College in Kingston, and was there
ccrnmissioned during the last war in
the Royal Canadian Engineers, in
1915.The following August saw him
in France as Signal Officer of the
I1th Canadian Infantry Brigade; cam-
manded by Major-General Odlum. For
services with this unit on the Somme
he received the Military Cross. At
Vimy, General Odium recommended
his attachment to `the, staff of the
Ninth Canadian Infantry Brigade,
After the Armistice, Brigadier
Burns was sent as Staff Captain to
the 12th Canadian Brigade in Bel-
gium, commanded part of the.time by
Colonel Ralston. It is an interesting,
if grim, drama that sees Ralston, Od-
ium and Burns all working together
again in leading -roles.
Brigadier. Burns"' made a 'peace -time
name for himself in the world of sci-
ence. A pioneer in the Geographical
Section of the General Staff, lie col-
laborated with the newly established
Royal Canadian Air Force in the 1922
aerial mapping of the Mallorytown
district of Quebec Province, whish, if
a somewhat, crude job, made history.
A decade later, General McNaugh=
ton, as both Chief of the General Staff
and Chairman of the Committee on
Survey Research at the National Re-
search Council, made Brigadier Burns
head of the Geographical Section of
the General Staff and Convener of the
sub -committee on methods of plotting
aerial photography at the Research
Council. Brigadier Burns invented
three machines for plotting maps
from aerial photographs, and for this
and his development work in -general
was awarded the O.B.E. in 1935.
When the present war broke out,
Brigadier Burns had just finished his
course at Imperial Defence College in
London. Hb ,ivas kept over there,
subsequently attached to Canadian
Military Headquarters, London, as
General Staff Officer to Major Gen-
eral Crerar during negotiations with
the War Office .concerning the dis-
patch of the first Canadian Division
to England. Last May he was ap-.
pointed G.S.O. to. the 2nd.Div:ision un-
der General Odium. He was in Al-
dershot during June and July as Of-
ficer -Commanding details of Canadian
troops, reinforcements and other un-
its. Later, he was recalled to head-
quarters in Canada. Brigadier Burns
has taken on the spot that series of
shocks that has forged the magnifi-
cent British morale we are watching
in the battle of Britain today. In
peace he showed ingenuity, inventive
capacity, expert mathematical ability.
In war he is serving his country hard
and well.
