After refreshments, served by the hostess, assisted by .her daughters; Mr, Will McDowell 'read the following address: , "On learning of your leave froin the Royal Canadian Navy, of which you are a worthy member, for a few daye at home, we, your friends and neigh- bors, have gathered to enjoy an even- ing together with you and your fam- ily. "We feel that it is a privilege to be able to look to you as one of our corn- -triunity boys who has stepped forward into the ranks to take your stand in a' greatcause for the protection of our homes and country. In the, duty which, you have undertaken, it may be necessary that you may he removed far -from us, but we hope and. pray that wherever your lot may be cast in the discharge of your duties, and under whatever conditions, however perilous, may your trust and hope be in the Higher Power who controls all things, Who will eventually restore peace to a warring world, and Who alone -is able to strengthen you and guide you aright,' In your voyages on the seas, always remember that you have the best wishes and the prayers of the community and. the folks,: at home. "As a slight token of our best wish- es and esteem, we ask you to accept this seaman's wrist watch, hoping that it will enable you to be on time and keepyou in -remembrance of the don- ors. --Signed on behalf of your friends and neighbors." • Anderson made a neat reply, thank- ing one and all who had taken part in making the giftso generous and the evening so enjoyable. All joined in singing "For .He's a Jolly Good Fel- low!' Music and chat made a. fitting ending for the evening. • Remember Your Church Is there such a thing as a Chris- Itsiatt'country? Is there such a thing as .a Christian town or community? Some would answer yes; otners would answer no. These latter folk would argue that it is only a Christian per" - son that really can represent .Cheis• tianity.

He stressed the need for a strong Federation of Agrioulture, a reed which had existed before, he Wei and will exist, for the period af- ter. Soule interesting facts were given for Huron County. The output of bacon hogs was stepped up sfrom 70,- 000 to 123,000 laat year, with a similar increase in dairy and poultry pro- ducts. He spoke of the submarine menace nand :said,- "Each time fwo freighters are sunk more food is lost than 18 produced in all Huron County in twelve months." He dealt with the farm help 'problem and concluded with a plea, -for a sustained effort dur- ing 1943. "Our Government," he said, "expects an increase in every line. The answer to this call, will have> to be given by each individual farmer. I feel confident," he said, "that. Huron will answer this call* in the same whelehearted and loyal way as she has Th all other appeals." Mr. James M.

He was assisting members of the P.E.C. work crew remove a branch from a tree situated near the mill on Market St., wbenthe branch suddenly broke and fell against the ladder on which he was standing, knocking him to the ground, a distance of some 20 feet. His back was seriously injured, in the fall, and for a time he was par- alyzed from the waist. cloWn, but for- tunately has responded to treatment in Scott Memorial Hospital, where he was immediately taken following the accident.

When the campaign opened on 1March lst, many of the district coun- try roads were open only to horses and sleighs, and as a consequence, collectors found it almost impossible to canvass their districts. Now that roads are again open for car traffic, the committees are making up for lost tme Already over half the quota of $6,e25 has been forwarded to head- quarters at Seaforth, and there are large amounts still in the hands of district centres. When these returns have been made and the canvass in the country districts, which is only starting, is completed, there is no doubt but this district will go oyer the top.by a substantial amount, ' On Monday,- March 1st, thousands of energetic volunteers throughout Canada began the crusade to raise the ten million dollars which the Can- adian Red Cross Society is asking to finance the scores ,of Red Cross ser- vices during the next year. Volun- teers are pressing forward, encourag- ed by first returns, and confident of reaching the objective. The longer the war lasts the great- er is the human suffering it brings in its train. Canadian Red Cross is ded- icated to the relief, of that suffering, and it is the privilege and geeponsi- betty of the Canadian people to see that this owork is neither interrupted nor retarded through lack of funds. Never before has there been such urgency—or such good spiritual rea- sons—fee giving to, the Red „cebes., Both the range and the horror of this war call for unprecedented means to cope with its miseries. In every spot where human need is great, the Red Cross is there to relieve it and to help men endure. The need today will bless every dollar we glee to Red Cross and enhance ita usefulness a hundred fold in human values,. in carrying on the great offensive of ulti- mate good will. Not until this war isover will the world hear the full storyof the work done among the prisoners of war by the Red Cross. Over half of the ten million dollars asked for in the cur- rent Red Cross campaign is ear -mark- ed for prisoners of war food parcels in the coming Year. Tothose of us who can afford but a smell donation, it is a comforting thought that the small sum of $2.50 will purchase one parcel and deliver it to Geneva, Switz- erland. Over 400,000 signed acknowl- edgment cards are now on hand ,at headquarters which have beep,. return- ed to Canada via the International Red Cross.

IL Golding, M.P., Con- gratulates Minister Of Finance On Able Presen- tation. REVIEWS C ANADA'S PART IN WAR W. H. Golding, M.P., representative in the House of Commons for Huron - Perth, spoke it the budget debate as follows; Mr., Speaker, I, wish to take this ,opeortunity to congratulate the far - :Ger leader of the official oppositien, upon his opening remarks respecting the loan which will ee launched ' in the near future. I believe one of •the finest things in this time of war is the fact that all parties in the •holise have co-operated fully in • every way in 'respect of each loan floated, andI was pleased to hear the honorable member speak for him•self and his colleagues in a similar way with re- spect to the coming loan. May I say further that I was in entire agree- naent with much of what he said, par- ticularly when he spoke about private enterprise. May I at the outset of my remarks extend my congratulations to our good friend the Minister of Finance (Mr. Ilsley) upon bis presentation of the budget a few days ago. I believe all honorable members 'realize the min- ister is carrying a heavy responsibil- ity, a burden perhaps greater than that carried by any former minister of finance in our history. I believe we realize, too, that, as obtains in every country engaged in the war,• our whole financial situation is always eetremely" difficult to handle, and is fraught with serious considerations. I sincerely hope all honorable members will consider these facts, and will take no action or make no statements yhich might in any way be inter- preted as' a want of confidence in the minister, or in his management of our financial affairs. In the position he iaow occupies I believe' he is endeav- ouring to do a good job.' I believe too, that he has endeavored to dis- tribute taxation fairly and equitable,. and it Is my personal belief :that -any: one who would now take any , action which might be interpretedas a want of confidence, in the minister be taking upon himself a serious re- sponsibility. would All honorable members know that the present situation. ie created as a result of war and war -time condi- tions. That reminds us that another year of war has passed, a year in which at times our hopes have been badly shattered, a year in which at times. our hopes have been revived. It has :been one in which the faith of 4 Canadians as well as that of 'our allies has a times been strained al - roost to the breaking point, as the tide of battle has ebbed and flowed 00 our various battlefronts. However our faith that right will "finally pre- vail has held firm; and while I be- lieve we all realize that the road to itn alliedevictory is still going to be tong and costly, events have indicat- ed thar victory for the allied forces will finally be, achieved. In the past year, throughout bhe British Empire, the United States and other allied countries, people have been forced to do things, which they would have had no natural desire to do. We are a peace -loving people. We hate war with all its cruelty, its de- struction, its ,reckless sacrifice of hu- man life, as well as destroying ideals which for decades our leaders have tried to inculcate into the minds of our citizens..
