THIS BOYS HOLD
POPULAR CONCERT
Sound -Movie Pictures and
Musical NunAbers Fea-
ture Program.
A good crowd attended the TllYiS
concert in the United Church school-
room on Monday- evening. The first
part of the program was the sound -
movie picture, t"Champion Coal,"
'shown by Mr. George Ewene, of Wa-
terloo, through the courtesy of the
Pittsburg Coal Co. of Toronto. This
picture .proved both entertaining and
educational, showing the story of coal
frim its •-earliazt beginnings to the
time it reaches the coal bin.
A smart puppet show proved a very
popular number. It was given by six
public school pupils, Mona Bennett,
• Betty Langford, Margaret Stevens.
Glen Nixon, Michael „Bechely and
Fred Taylor, under the direction of
Miss Winnifred Savduge.
A solo by Miss Lois Whitney, piano
Selection by Ernie Clarke, and a gui-
tar duet by Harold and Bob Knight,
brought hearty applause.
• The final tumbere was an exciting.
sounchrhovie picture, "Snow Thrills,"
followed by the National Anthem.
The proceeds amounted to $40.30,
and The concert was under the aus-
pices of the Texts Boys. Half the
net proceeds will be used for over-
seas boxes.
It was in 1903, forty years ago, that
Einar Holbein, a humble Danish post-
master, first introduced the Christmas
Seal in order that 'help might be giv-
en to those whose lives were sadden-
ed by a breakdown in health.
The idea Spread rapidly and before
the opening of the present war, forty
countries of the world were using the
Christmas Seal for the purpose of
raising funds to eliminate man's most
devastating scourge-tuberculos is.
• Einar Holbein would be happy if he
wield today know, what his little seal
has accomplished in those 40 years.
In 1900 when records were first start-
eql, the death rate per 100,000 of our
population, was 200; •today it isebut
51. and while the rate in .some of our
provinces runs as high as from 70 to
80, itis the proud leceder of the Sana-
toria of Ontario,„ that our rate of 28
°is the lowest in: %nada.
The Christmas Seal this year is
truly a united one, as the 'same seal
is being, used by Great Britain, the
United States of Aneerica, the British
West Indies, -Jamaica, British Guiana
and Canada.
Andre Dugo, an internationally
-known artist and illuserator: is the
designer of this year's seal. Mr.
Dugo, was. born in Szolnok, Hungary,
and commenced drawing when he was
five years old. .His one ambition was
to become an artist, but his father
,opposed art as a professioneSo he fin-
ally entered the College of Technol-
. egy in Budapest to study architecture
an excellent ground work be now ad-
mits, for his:later years, for it gave
him a background and raining 'in
draftmanship no art shoot would
have provided.
The Beal 'depicts 'a small girl look-
ing out of a window and seeing Santa
'Claus driving across the sky. , Mr.
Dugo in telling of his design, said, "I
'wanted to „show the spirit of Christ-
mas and torepresent at the same

TheghurchFront
Since•Berlin has been subjected to
repeated bombing attacks by the. Al-
lies, German propaganda agencies
have cried -out a.bout the bombing of
churches. Do Nazi leaders care about
churches? If we could discover that
they did, it would be news.
In Canada, it would be news, if the
churches announced that there would
be no Christmas services this year,
o'r no call to prayer. While our en-
emies at home and abroad becpme
more and more destructive of all that
is highest and best in, our world, we
feel the challenge to step out reso-
lutely to witness for Jetus Christ.
Christ brought good news to human-
ity and the power, to put it into ef-
fect in human life. Wehave good
news to publish through th,e, churches
today. The appeal of the good should
move people to get into action against
the enemies of 'Christ. Christ' was
-born for a sublime purpose.
Who can -longer stand aside when
the 'battle of our Christian faith is
to be won? The challenge to turn
unto God may never be given to us
in a clearer way. People can see that
there are but two main camps -those
who are with Christ, • or those who
are egaihst Hine.
4 Under the spell of the season fast
approaching, may the Spirit work
mightily among the people and give
teem the thrill of stepping out in a
grest_eause, and. with the forces of
the Chriettian Church,. We'll not win
this battle without action. What do
you thinle?--(COntribUted, He V. W.)e

FARMERS DO GET
HURT ON FARMS
A -Study Of 150. Injuries
Culled From Pres By,
Dr. Jas. McCliAton.
Agriculture in Canada is 'the lame
duck in accident care and -compensa-
tion. Farmers get hurt and only the
family cares.
That. is not so in industry. In 1941
(he various. Compensation Boargs in
Canade paid twenty-one and a half
•million dollars to menout of work
from injury, to hospitals for white
warm beds and operating' rooms and
to doctors mostly for setting bones.
In some provinces they bury ,the
deceased and compensate the widow.
They even pay the mother of an il-
legitimate child if she can prove that
the careless father met judgment 'day
from an accident.
According to the Canadian Year
Book nothing has been paid to the
farmer for Injuries. He is not com-
pensated if unable to work from an
accident. Neither are his bills paid.
If he is fatally injured and indigent
his friends have to bury him. Worse'
still, he is responsible for his hired
man getting burt,-as a recent judg-
.'ment. of $4;000. indicates.
If a farm boy joins any of the Ser-
vices. or goes to wprk in a factory,
or gets on relief, or develops /so-call-
ed social diseases, his illness is look-
ed after free. If he stays at home,
goes to church and •works hard he
has to pay for his .medicines when
he gets hurt.
A rent study was made of 150
consecutive farm accidents in Canada
as :reported in weekly newspapers.
While thee were the serious acci-
dents they did indicate the where,
when and why of farmers getting
hurt.
Sinee 4.15 per cent. of all men at
work will gtt hurt, there will prob-
ably be 51.000 serious accidents to
Canadian farmers each year. Some
authorities estimate -as high as 150,000
for minor accidents are usually for-
gotten.

FarmHome
Damaged by F re'
The home of Hugh and Elmer Rinn,
Sth concession of East Wawanosh,
tl.ree miles west of Belgrave, was
badly damaged by fire Sunday about
the noon hour. The fire was caused
by a backfire of the tractor which
was kept in the whodshedback of tine
house. The tractor was being started
to draw water. The backfire caused
the carburetor to explode. spewing
flaming gasoline abodt the woodshed.
The blaze became so heated that the
horses could not 'be hitched to the
tractor 40 remove it.
Willing hands soon gathe ed and
water from the creek sev al rods
away was carried in pails, b t the fire
made rapid headway -in the woodshed.
The. Wingham fire brigade Was called,
hut by the time 'they arrived there
had worked its way into the kitchen,
and was travelling along the roof on
the main part of the house. The fire-
men quickly had 'the water from the
creek pouring dn the burning struc-
ture but by that time the kitchen Was
destroyed and part of the roof on the
main part of the house was very bad-
ly damaged. They did good work,
however, and saved much of the main
structude, but the damage by water
may be great.
The contents of the house were re-
moved but the falling snow would
destroy. some of it. The house, a fine
brick building 'With .two -foot stone
Walls, has been a landmark in -East
Wawanosh for many years.
The othet buildinga on the farm
were at no time in danger.
