We belong to a Church that traces its descent direct- ly to the Apostles themselves.

Mr. Redmond touch- ed on the decrease in the number of destitute children in the County. Tho means W LIS given whereby the number had been reduced to only one child now in the Children's Shelter, In fact there was an apparent shortage in child:en for adoption, and many more could be placed. Regarding the Coun. ty Home he said that during the year good cattle and hos had been pm'? chased by the County Boma Commit. tee.' Th.s was done in an- effort to raise the standard of livestock in the County, Farmers could buy for breeding purposes from the stock at the County Home at very reasonable prices. It was a cheap way for the farmer to get into good livestock. The International Plowing Match will be held in Huron County in the year IA2. The Match will bo held in Hui - lett Township, and everything is be• in; done, and will be, to make it a miceess, Regarding markets for the farmers of Huron County, Mr, Red- mond disclocsed that an organization is underway whereby the farmers will - be able to work in closer coordina- tion with one -another in gaining bet ter prices for their commodities, as well as benefiting in other ways as well. School taxes In the Township had been rather Itt3h this year, and much of this might be overcome by having a Township School I3oard, Mr, Redmond thanked his associates on the Council for their splendid co- operation during the year, and he thanked the ratepayers of the Town- ship for their confidence shown in him. Next year will be the County's Centennial Year, and plans are under way to have the Anniversary marked in suitable manner. He thought that the fact that Huron County is now clear of debt for the first time In the one hundred years, should also be cel ebra I ed. OMM.11.•11, Alter Clerk James W.

Turning to County matters. The County would be free of debt this year, 'he said, for the first time in one hundred years. The_'e will be a sur- plus in the General Accent in excess of $4,000.00. The biggest expenditure on the roads was that of putting asphalt on the Dungannon Road, which had cost in the nel3hbourhood of n5,000.00. The shed for the stet.- . Ing of County machinery which had been erected at Auburn, would cost around $3,000.00, The County Home Committee bad exceeded their allocation for the pres- ent year, which was caused by the Purchase of more land, and a herd of good cows and swine. The cattle pur- 1 chased were not a good milking strain, but were good breeding stock, and they and the 'swine were titer- - uteghbreds, being purchased for the express purpose of ,selling to the farmers of Huron County in an en- deavour to improve their stock, Un- fortunately the farmers had not taken the opportuntty thus far, to avail theniselves of too much of the stock; which can be purchased at a little over market price. Repairs on the buildings had cost about $S2.. Fol- lowing the regrettable demise of the Late George H. Elliott, of Clinton, who had served as InGpector of the County Homo, George Fevon, Item of Colborne Township. and Warden of the County In 1940, had been appoint- ed to the position nt the November Session of County Council. Due to the added expenditure by County Council in the purchasing of the Alr• port the County rate this year had been higher, and to add further to the strain on Township finances, the government subsidy had been mical. ed from 11,:2 mills to 1 mill this year. Turning to Township matters Mr. Leiper stated that there is on hand in the bank at the present time $1,191.67 as compared with last yedr's balance of $1110,82. The Township had borrow.. ed no money front the bank this year. Questions asked regardinz the cost of operating the grader brought forth the fact that (Inc to the renting of same to the airports and other municipalitlea the grader had almost paid it's way. The cost of runnitt; the grader was $722.29, Sttow costs had been quite an item last winter running well over $500,00, The purchase was made of $329.2'5 worth of snow fence. This had been bought early at quite a rav- ing to the Township.

Councillor Beecroft, after thankful those who had nominated. him, and the ratepayers for an acclamation, gave a discussion of the gravelling of the Township roads. and the painting of bridges. Mr. Ruddy thought that the early nomination ineethq had something to do with the small turnout. He thanked those Alio had nominated him.

S vN v SCH60+L LESSON LESSON IX AN EXACTING DISCIPLESHIP. -- Luke 9. PRINTED TEXT, Luke 9: 49.62, GOLDEN TEXT.—No man, having put his hand to the plow, and look - Ing back, le fit for the kingdom of God, Luke 9: 62, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIme.—The coulmissiou of the twelve apostles occurred in the autumn of A.1), 28, the immediate subsequent events in the winter of A.D, 28, 29, tho confession of Peter and Christ's transfiguration in the autumn of A,D. 29; Christ's journey through Samaria took place in Nov. ember, and December A.D. 29. Place.—The Twelve were com- missioned in Galilee; the events recorded in 9: 10a took place lei Capernaum; the feeding ot the five thousand is to be located in Beth - settle, at the northeast end of the Sea of Galiee; the confession of Peter and the subsequent teaching aro to be located in Caesarea Phil- ippi; the transfiguration probably occurred on Mount Hermon; the events recorded in verses 52 to 56 occurred ill Samaria; the conclud- ing teachings reported is the re- mainder of the chapter were utter- ed on the shovea of the Sea of Galeee flee, In this lesson we may gain a profound conception of what might be called the centrality or the ab- solute supremacy' of the Lord Jesus Christ: Cltriat here reveals b1maelt as supreme over his disciples; he shows himself the central figure upon every occasion when a great need arises, because of his ability to meet that need; he is the one person men ought to believe as the Son of God; he is the one who is supremely worthy of our absolute devotion, The Gospel Ideal The ideal of the gospel received through its perfect incarnation in Jesus Christ is not that we should be ministered uuto, but that we should minister, bear one another's burdens, love one another, prefer one another, pray for one another, edify one another in the Lord. Luke 9: 49. And John answered and said, Master, we saw one cast- ing out Clemons itt thy name; and we forbade him, because he follow• eth not with us, 50. But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against, you is for you. Even outside the circle of the per- manent disciples of Jesus there were men in whom his word and his works had called forth a mir- aculous power. 'These sparks, which fell beyond the circle, had made flames burst forth here and there away from the central fire. Purpose of Christ's Coming 51, And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stead- fastly set his face to go to Jerus- alem, and sent messengers before his face: 52. And they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53. And they did not receive him. because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem. • 54. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, 'and consume them? 55. But he turned, and rebuked them. 56, And they went to anoth- er village. The concluding twelve verses of this chapter of Luke's Gospel give in some detail that which is found more briefly in Matt, 8: 18-22, and Mark 10: 1. This begins what is commonly call- ed the Peraean ministry of our L o r d, which commences with Christ's final departure from Gal- ilee, here noticed, and ends with his final arrival in Jerusalem, John and James here forgot of what spirit they were, the spirit of both the Old and the New Testaments, and gave way to fleshly desire for revenge, While we must disapprove of the spirit here of the two dis- ciples, as the Lord certainly did, yet we must recognize that their request only sprang from their burning zeal. It must have surpris- ed James and John when Jesus re• buked them. It is true that the village rejected Jesus; but we must ask, Had any special effort been made to win them to Jesus? Had the gospel been preached to thein? We must answer no. Worthlessness of Excuses 57, And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto shim, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58. And Jesus said unto hitn, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59. And he said unto another, Follow me, But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 80. But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God. 61. And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to .them that are at my house. 62, But Jesus said unto him. No man, having put his hand to_the plow, and looking back, Is tit for the kingdom of God. This remarkable passage is not to be Mayor Fiorella L. La Guardia, of New York, and Col, 0, M. Biggar, f{,C., United States and Canadian chairman, respectively, of the per- manent board on defence, are shown as they mounted the city hall steps at Vancouver, where the joint board held a conference during its tour of the U.S.-Canada Pacific coast. On hand to greet them was Dr. H. L. Keenleyside, joint secretary of the board fcr Canada, shown with . back to camera. found in any of the other Gospiels, and is a remarkably rich paragraph for careful study it space allowed. Three types of men are seen in the presence of the enterprise of Jesus, attracted to him, wanting to be loyal to him, desiring to be en. rolled under him, wanting to serve him. The first was a man attract- ed by Christ. The second was a mall whom Christ called to cer- tain and definite relaticeship with himself, The third a'as a man want- ing to serve Christ, but postponing his service, Christ's call is super- ior to the highest and most beau- tiful of earth's obligations. That is the cross. Christ had flashed upon him the light of a tremendous en- terprise, the enterprise ot preach• ing the kingdom of God; and that demanded the abandonment of the earthly tie when it conflicted with the call of the Lord. 1 • Stones From Sky Stones aro more mysberious than people think. Mr. William Barber, of Ikon Cliff, Suffolk, England, has grown stones by watering ahem every day, They increase in size at the rate of three -sixteenths of an inch every year. The model of a stone bull in Southern India, anointed with oil regularly by worshipful na- tives,' grows constantly in size. Because of this, it is credited with having life. In the West In- dies, it sometimes rains stoner, Quartz pebbles fall down from the skies without warning, then stop suddenly. Nobody has ever, explained this phenomenncn, for there isn't any quartz in the vi- cinity. IIADIO REPOHTEII By DAVE ROBBINS "WHAT'S NEW"?

THEY LIKE IT OVERSEAS When the Canadian troops in England were questioned as to what Canadian radio program they would like to hear in England, one of the first programs they men- tioned was the 'happy Gang." This is proof of the appeal of this com- pletely happy and generally screw- ball session with Bert Pearl, Kath- leen Stokes and the rest of the happy crow. We think it's a good sign that Canadians still get a laugh out of sheer nonsense and as long as Canada's soldiers can laugh, this Dominion need have no fear. It will take more than Hitler to make Canada's warriors lose their sense of humour. The "lIappy POP — Say When 1 Gang" is heard over the CBC chain each week -clay afterncon at ono (daylight). AROUND THE DiAL We like the story about the would-be musician who appeared at an audition — played a piano number — and then blandly he formed the program director it was Absolutely original. "Shake Mister,' said the radio man, "I never thought I'd se the day I'd be face to face with Beethoven!" Last Satrrday night the old mas- ter was back with the NBC Sym- phony for the wec!dy program at 10.35 — for as the big second hand on the clock neared the deadline Arturo Toscanini, world-famous con- ductor, took the podium, Toscan- ini's presence means something to symphony musicians — for it was obvious Saturday night that the members of the orchestra were just a little more keen and getting just a trifle more out of their efforts. It you like the best in music, you should dial in this splendid pro- gram — heard in this part of On- tario from 1120 on the radio dial. For the Kiddies — Santa Claus is on the air each Tuesday, Thurs- day and Saturday night at five o'- clock (daylight) from C'FII14 and CKOC. Record Corner: Tho Great Cros- by has recorded this theme song, "When the Blue of the Night, etc." and "Can't Get Indiana Off My Mind." Both are okay.

Death Rate in Ontario Cut Down 20 Per,Cent Since 1935 14 New Provinciai Control Ptolicy Results Shown'in First Survey Report The tuberculosis death rate in Ontario has dropped 20 per cent since 1935, a degree greater than in any other province, according to the first survey issued by the De - pertinent of Health, since the .new tuberculosis control policy, found- ed on 1938 amendments to the San- itoria for Consumptives Act, came into effect in July of chat year. Premier Hepburn recently Inds• cated the results of the,new policy had almost exceeded expectations. As Treasurer of the Province, he had given strong backing to' Health Minister Iiarold .1. Kirby, Deputy Minister Dr. 11, T. McGhie and de• pertinent heads in the development of the program. STILL SECOND DEATH CAUSE lh'. 0. C. Brink, director of the division of tuberculosis prevention, only recently in the moderate tone of the medical ratan, advised "the trend in Ontario certainly gives reason for present encouragement and hope for the future." He add- ed: "Llowever, it should be observ- ed that tuberculosis is still the sec- ond cause of death in Ontario in the age group 15.39 years, being exceeded only by accidents." The new policy was drafted fol. lowing a survey of the tuberculosis situation by the division of tuber- culosis prevention which was estab. Milted in 1935. SANATORIUM TREATMENT HELPFUL It found that not more than 50 per cent of those dying of T. B. had had the benefit of sanatorium treat- ment. Only 60 per cent of those for whom sanatorium treatment was advised itad entered sanitarium within one year of discovery. It was found that in some sections of the Province, the T, B. incidc9 co and death rate were double that of sanitoriuth ,trgatment were dia- ,charged witch no assurance that the noolissary " post-sanitorium care would be forthcoming, The marketed value of can- ned fish produced .in Canada itt 1939 was $15,449,000. 1 THIS CURIOUS WORLD Fe guison a • - WE RECEJVE MORE HEAT AND LIGHT FROM THE SUN /N /3 SECONDS THAN WE DO FROM THE MOON %/V YEAR/RE THE AVERAGE.

This challenging question is asked in an editorial in the cur- rent issue of the magazine "Health", a Canadian publica- tion. "Why is the health and welfare of the average young man and woman not an essential objective in peace -time as well as in war- time?" the editorial asks. When the suggestion was Made in peace -time to examine the rung men of the nation to de- termine their fitness or their un- fitness the cry was raised "im- possible". Today, with a war on, the edi- torial states, medical examina- tion of Candaa's young men is proceeding apace. Every doctor 3kl Canada is a medical examiner 3o be paid by the government. Maintains Health Service; What was once considered im- possible is now being done, the editorial says. The editorial goes on: "When one considers that in war the fit are sacrifices on the altars of Mars and the unfit left at home a situation is discovered which should demand the atte,ntion of all political leaders." The editorial commends a re- cent statement of Hon. Harold Kirby, Minister of Health for On- tario, who called attention to the importance of a concerted health program if Canada is to prose- cute the war efficiently. "One wishes that other minis- ters of health might present the case with equal vigor", states the editorial. "This journal is of the opinion that if health conserva- tion is logical in peace -time it is essential in war -time, and health service is war service. If civilian morale is to be kept at a high level all health services must be maintained and indeed improved. Education of the public to this end should proceed forthwith." Modern Etiquette BY ROBER I A LEE 1. When a husband and wife are calling on friends, tvhich one should suggest leaving? 2.,,Isn't it poor manners for a person to take hold of another person while talking to him? 3.

They may help themselves to sugar, cream, and lemon, as well as to sand- wiches and cakes. 5. No. When the coughing spell has ceased. one may say "1 am sorry." 6. A tuxedo. Bees As Messengers .• The Chinese have made use of the knowledge that as long as the same queen bee rules the hive it can "be moved a distance of miles, and all the bees will return to it. This has led to 'the introduction of the "bee mail," in areas oc- cupied by the enemy. With the help of microphotography, plans and messages can be transcribed on tiny pieces of paper and sent through enemy territory attached to the leg or wing of a bee. The message or plan Ls photographed and reduced in size, and when it gets to its destination is decipher- ed with the aid of a microscope. "Bee mail" is highly successful, for these insects travel at from thirty to forty miles an hour and, being almost invisible, are far safer than pigeons.

It is vitamin K, one of the newest of the vitamin family, or- iginally found in putrid fish and alfalfa meal but now made syn- thetically, which stimulates clot- ting of the blood. LIGHT TURNS CORNERS American scientific wizardry which produced a glass -like sub- stance to make light turn corners is declared to be saving the lives of thousands of Londoners dur- ing the ,current night bombings. The material, made out of coal, water and air, is synthetic glass, known technically as a methyl methacyrlate resin and commer- cially as Curvlite, and has come into wide use in surgical opera- tions.' Light at one end of a retractor used to pull open surgical incis- ions is carried around the bend of the instrument and directly into the operating field, VACCINATING BRAIN An experiment in vaccinating the brain against infantile par- alysis is . announced to the U. S. National Foundation for Infan- tile Paralysis, Inc. The brain is the site of this disease, and damage to brain nerve cells the cause of paralysis. The new method of possible immunizing, is now being tried on monkeys. Hero of "Jervis Bay" The. name of Captain Fogarty Fegen will ' take 'a prominen place among British naval heroes following his heroic action in, sacrificing the armed merchant cruiser Jervis Bay to the Might; of a powerful German raider so that a convoy might slip away to safety, Captain Fegen directed the Jervis Bay in an attack on the raider and held the German ship at bay for two hours, enab- ling the majority of ships in the convoy to break formation and escape. With his arm almost severed and suffering from mul- tiple wounds, Capt. Fegen direct- ed the attack until his ship plung- ed to the bottom. Express Agents Are Transferred The appointment of J. A.

Circle. There was a protest from the Ad- miral's car, they wanted "some beat". Immediately, •there waa a demand that the porter get busy, but that functionary was the most amazed man on the train. "Boss," he exclaimed to Mr. Kearney, "That carload of gentle] men have come all the way from the North Pole and I've been do- ing everything possible to keep thM car cool for them." • HAVE YOU llEARD? It was necessary for taxation purposes to decide on which side of the Canadian and United States border a farm which an eldery lady had just purchased, actually lay. Surveyors finally announced that the farm was on the American side of the border. The lady smiled with relief. "I'm glad to know that," she said. "I've heard that winters in Canada are terribly severe." If there's a newer or bet- ter way of getting catsup out of a bottle than by spanking • it on the bottom then we'd like to know of it. —Peterborough Examiner. 'The Negro parson had been preaching about salvation, and concluded by saying that it was free as water. Immediately after the sermon came the collection. "But, parson," objected one of the congregation. "I thought you said salvation was free like water." "So it is, brother, so it is," replied the preacher, "and so is water. We only charge for pip- ing it to you." - Father: "Now try and leave the party at a reason- able hour, No more of this coming home with the milk- man, young lady." Daughter: "Why, dad, of course not. He _ won't be there." "It DOES taste good in a pipe!"

She went outside, rang the bell, and the servant answered the floor. The next day she was worried by a continual Pinging of the bell. At last, when no one ans- wered the door, she opened it herself and found her servant on the step. "Whatever are you doing, Li?" she asked. "Yesterday you foolee me, now I foolee you," was the reply. "Wouldn't you like to be so famous that you had your face on a thousand -dollar bill?" "No, but I'd like to be lucky enough to get my hands on one." Think About Summer When Winter Comes . True the calendar indicates that winter is at hand but there are executives who must project their thoughts into the coming year and prepare for summer. One such is J.

GOLDEN TEXT.—No man, having • put his hand to the plow, and look- ing back, Is fit for the kingdom of God, Luke 9: 62, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The commission of the twelve apostles occurred in the autumn of A,1), 28, the immediate . subsequent events iu the winter of A.D. 28, 29, the confession of Peter and Christ's transfiguration in bhe autumn of A.D, 29; Christ's journey through Samaria took place in Nov. ember and December A.D. 29. Place.—The Twelve were com- missioned in Galilee; the events recorded in 9: l0a took place iii Capernaum; the feeding of the five thousand is to be located in Beth• saida, at the northeast end of the Sea of Graliee; the confession of Peter and the subsequent teaching aro to be located in Caesarea Phil- ippi; the transfiguration probably occurred on Mount Hermon; the events recorded in verses 52 to 56 occurred iu Samaria; the conclud- ing teachings reported in the re- mainder of the chapter were utter- ed on the shoves of the Sea of Gal -,•e Bee, In this ,lessou we may gain a profound conception of what might be called the centrality or the ale solute supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ: Chriat here reveals himself as supreme over his disciples; he shows himself the central figure upon every occasion when a great need arises, because of his ability to meet that need; he is the one person men ought to believe as the Son of God; he is the one who is aupremely worthy of our absolute devotion. The Gospel Ideal The ideal of the gospel received through its perfect incarnation in Jesus Christ is not that we should be ministered unto, but that we should minister, bear one another's burdens, love one another, prefer one another, pray for one another, edify one another in the Lord. Luke 9: 49. And John answered and said, Master, we saw one cast- ing out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he follow• eth not with us. 50. But Jesus said unto him, Forbid hint not: for he that is not against you is for you. Even outside the circle of the per- manent disciples of Jesus there were men in whom his word and his works had called forth a mir- aculous power. These sparks, which fell beyond the circle, had made flames burst forth here and there away from the central fire, Purpose of Christ's Coming 51, And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that lie should be received up, he stead. fastly set his face to go to Jerus- alem, and sent messengers before his face: 52. And they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him, 53. And they did not receive him. because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem. • 54. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, 'and consume them? 55. But he turned, and rebuked them. 56. And they went to anode er village. The concluding twelve verses of thfa chapter of Luke's Gospel give in some detail that which is found more briefly in Matt, 8: 18-22, and Mark 10: 1, - This begins what is commonly call- ed the Peraean ministry of our L o r d, which commences .with Christ's final departure from Gal- ilee, here noticed, and ends with his final arrival in Jerusalem. John and James here forgot of what spirit they were, the spirit of both the Old and the New Testaments, and gave way to fleshly desire for revenge. While we must disapprove of the spirit here of the two dis- ciples, as the Lord certainly did, yet we must recognize that their request only sprang from their burning zeal, It must have surpris- ed James and John when Jesus re• buked them, It is true that the village rejected Jesus; but we must ask, Had any special effort been made to win them to Jesus? llad the gospel been preached to theist? We must answer no. Worthlessness of Excuses 57, And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58. And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59. And he said unto another, Follow me, But he said, Lord, suffer me firat to go and bury my father. 60. But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God, 61. And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house. 62. But Jesus said unto him. No man, having put his hand to.the plow, and looking back, le fit for the kingdom of God. This remarkable passage is not to be U.§..Capad an Defence Board at ' Vancouver Mayor Fiorella L.

Lound in any of the other Gospels, and is a remarkably rich paragraph for careful study If space allowed. Three types of men are seen in the presence of the enterprise of Jesus, attracted to him, wanting to be loyal to him, desiring to be en. rolled under him, wanting to serve him. The first was a ,man attract- ed by Christ. The second was a uiau whom Christ called to cer• tato and definite relaticeship with himself. The third was a lean want- ing to serve Christ, but postponing his service, Christ's call is super- ior to the highest and most beau- tiful of earth's obli:;ations, That is the cross. Christ had flashed upon him the light of a tremendous en• terprise, the enterprise of preach- ing the kingdom of God; and that demanded the abandonment of the earthly tie when it conflicted with the call of the Lord.

THEY LIKE IT OVERSEAS When the Canadian troop3 in England were questioned as to what Canadian radio program they would like to hear in England, one of the first programs they men- tioned was the 'happy Gang." This is proof of the appeal of this com- pletely happy and generally screw• ball session with pert Pearl, Katie leen 6tokes and the rest of the happy crow. We think it's a good sign that Canadians still get s laugh out of sheer nonsense and as long as Canada's soldiers can laugh, this Domhlion need have no fear. It will take more than Hitler to make Canada's warriors lose their sense of humour. The "happy POP — Say When Gana" is heard over the CBC chain each week -day afterticon at ono (daylight).

Death Rate In Ontario Cut Down 20 Per Cent Since 1935 4 New Provincial Control P'oticy Results Shown in First Survey Report The tuberculosis death rate in Ontario has dropped 20 per cent since 1935, n degree greater than in any other province, ,recording to the first survey issued by the De- partment of Health since the .new tuberculosis control policy, found- ed on 1938 amendments to the San - Rorie for Consumptives Act, came tato effect in July of 'hat year.

HEALTH TOPICS ..•.-* til -e I v t 4 • e v > • • •, v., •4 Health Conservation In War and Peace Why should we wait until we are faced with a serious war be- fore we begin to take • stock of our human assets? This challenging question is asked in an editorial in the cur- rent issue of the magazine "Health", a Canadian publica- tion. "Why is the health and welfare of the average young man and woman not an essential objective in peace -time as well as in war- time?" the editorial asks, When the suggestion was made in peace time to examine the oung men of the nation to de - termitic their fitness or their un- fitness the cry was raised "int - possible", Today, with a war on, the edi- torial states, medical examina- tion of Candan's young men is proceeding. apace. Every doctor Canada is a medical examiner be paid by the government, Maintains Health Service; What was once considered im- possible is now being done, the editorial says. The editorial goes on: "When one considers that in war the fit are sacrifices on the altars of Mars and the unfit left at home a situation is discovered which should demand the attention of all political leaders," The editorial commends a re- cent statement of Hon. Harold Kirby, Minister of Health for On- tario, who called attention to the importance of a concerted health program if' Canada is to prose- cute the war efficiently. "One wishes that other minis- ters of health might present the case with equal vigor", states the editorial. "This journal is of the opinion that if health conserva- tion is logical in peace -time it is essential in war -time, and health service is war service. If civilian morale is to be kept at a high leve] all health services must be maintained and indeed improved. Education of the public to this end should proceed forthwith." •+-*,► ....,-.,-•-•.•_•.._...f,.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS (by Harry J. Boyle) THE PANTS PROBLEM The question has now been raised, "Should small boys be given long pants?" The problem may seem fool- ish to some, but to any man who led a normal boyhood on a farm it Is of far-reaching importance. Think back over those days when the biggest problems of your life included how to escape school and haw to sneak icing from a cake without being detected by Mother. I can well remember my first yearn- ings for long pants, Mother had sal- vaged a pair of legs from father's dis- carded blue serge suit and had tailor- ed me into a pair of short pants. They looked well, inspite of the fact that they were cut square on the knees and the black thread stitching was fairly obvious. But I was proud of diem as 1 strolled casually dawn the sidewalk to see the candy display in the win- dow at Murphy's f7mpor:am, "Hello there Phil," came in a tone that could not be mistaken.. It was my "dear, dear" cousin from the MI Conessi 'n . . . a Mother's boy with a sneer on his face for everybody 'he thought didn't have as much money as his Father. I talked to him, just as civil as passible , . .but he was wearing long trousers . . . and they were store -made ones at that. "Mother says I'm quite a little man now," he said, munching on candy. I didn't mind him not offering me any candy but those long pants made the feel silly. What had seemed perfectly right before, now seemed to be out of place. I was ashamed of the short pants and the space of bare log be- tween the top of the black ribbed cot- ton stockings and the garters that a fellow couldn't quite conceal. He had long pants and I had short ones and he was just the sante age as I was. I ,staged a campaign for long pants First of all I asked for them and was refused. Next; I refused to go to church or town wearing my short .ones. The toe of father's boot placed quite carefully on the seat of my ! pants and accompanied by a box on the ears changed my opinions in that regard, however, The campaign ,seemed to lack tact. The next step was to carefully call at- tention to the boys wearing the long version of trousers. At the dinner table I would suddenly remember a certain boy who had just acquired u suit with long pants. "Is that so?" Mother would ,say, and, just to add Insult to injury, "He's two years and three months older than you. Good- ness, 1n a few more years we'll have to be buying you suits with lona pants." Then, turning to father she woud say, "It makes me feel old to think of hnw quickly the children grow yup," iTime, somehc%', cased the hurt of wearing short pants. I grew taller and the sir.:_e between t'te pants and the stocking tops grew bigger, In winter time the goose,pimple would appear it you didnt wear underwear and if you did the combinations would ease up with the pulling of the .stocking garter and wrinkle down into a putty bulge. Tlien• came that day when Father took me to town. On the way in he lectured me about staying on at school ,.... and he told me about the time when he gave up school and of how he; missed t'he education. We went into Tim Murphy's Store and back in the clothing corner. There among the clothes rackis and the pile of overalls I was fitted with a coat and vest. My heart was stopping and starting and tripping . , • and finally Tini stroked his handlebars on his moustache and said, "Lott„ or short pants, son?" I didn't dare say a word. This was my chance and I couldn't talk . , . and father looked up at me and as soon as I saw that twinkle in his eye I know what he was going to say. "Long pants, Tim," lie said qutet•likc1 "The boy's growing up, you know." LQNDESIORO Fifty men from the Port Albert Air Port will be entertained in Commun- ity Hall on this Friday evening.

A discus- sion on the Township Equalisation by Messrs. Mogg & Quinlan took place, and' Mr, Lorper stated that the new assessment made the Township Fl, - 000,00 this year, almost enough to pay for it, In closing he stated that he would run again ,this year. Ho stated that he is almost through, and has served the Township a long tithe. He felt that he had a splendid chance • to 'bring the Wardenship honours 'to tato Township Cain year, and that it was over 50 years since Mullett last had such an honour. Councillor semi Ferguson was the next speaker, and after stating that Mr. Lelper had covered both County and Township matters very thoroug►n ly, Ire said ho felt that the ratepayers should know exactly what the I].lual- lzatiou had cost the Township. 7'uls figure was $1050.00. He stated that from the start he had never been in favour of the system of equalization as applied by Messrs, Mogg & Quie- ten. He was positive that mistakes had been made in measurements of buildings, and advised ratepayers to remeasure them. He felt that their assessment regarding new and old buildings of the same slzo was unfair, and served to retard improvement by the thrifty. Assessment should bo based on the land where the money Is made, not on buildings, In closing he stated that he would etand again for councillor Mr., Snell's remarks wore brief and to t'he point. Ho gave the first ink- ling that there would be an election when he stated that lie would contest the Reeveship. He felt that any man should be satizfieci .with two or three years as Reeve of a municipality. Ho closed by thanking those who nomin- ated him for the position, and. asking for the support of the ratepayers. In his remarks, Mr, Fred Peckitt too reply to a previous question as to whether Messrs. Mogg & Quinlan should have been allowed access to the Roll to make • their equalization. If this 'had been denied them, the job would have required surveyors, and could not have been done for anything -like the figure for which it was. Be stated that ho would again stand for councillor, and as Mr. Leiper had cov- ered the township situation pretty well, he thanked his mover and se- conder, and solicited the support of the ratepayers if there_ was an elec, tion. Councillor George Brown thought. that the nomination meeting was not as well attended as in former years. In the .Auburn Division, -of which. ho had charge, about x'00 yards of gravel had been laid. Not a great deal of work had been clone In. that division by the grader this year, but their turn would come soon. The snow last win- ter had •made the roads difficult, but the council had purchased morn snow fence this year which should help. Ko believed that some should be bought every year. The extra half mill levied by the County for the Goderich Air- port had cost the Township $1600.00. Touching on the h7qualization of the. Township, Mr. Brown suggested that there were farms which. had been assessed too hilt, and also others which 'had been assessed too low, A quetion was asked that it a ratepayer considered his neighbour's farm too low in comparison witlt'his own, haw could it be rectified. Mr. Brown•,sug- gested that ho believed that an appeal would have to be entered against thlh neighbour in order that it might be brought up on an equal footing with others. If a farmer desired to have his assessment lowered, the aasessor had the 'power to use his judgment in the matter, Some argument arose as to whether Mogg & Quinlan had been on many of tlmo farms In the Township. Mr. Brown said that in many cases they had travelled the blind lines In the Township, and in that way had traversed many farms without being seen by the owner. This statement was verified by some of• the ratepayers !present. Before baking his seat Mr. Brown thanked his mover and seconder, and said that he would be in the field this year for councillor, Councillor Brown completed the list of this year's council, and Mr, Alai. - thew Armstrong, a nominee for the lug Peen re el°cted for hie third term imsilion of the Iteeveship, was called as Ileevo of Float Wawanoslt, fir. on. In his oeening remarks, he delved Redmond Is a splendid speaker, and into the past regarding debts of the should, It the honour of the Warden - County. In 1928 tiro County had been ship Is conferred on him, make ono of of these ©xporltnents in •&tock at all, He had ',followed,. the exiperimeruts in bogs, and was intro that it was a los- lug proposition, If he, or any otter farmer had the County of Huron to back them up financially, he was ,surq that his farm would look neat and prosperous too, When Ile was at County Council the Home was consid- ered a place for the aged and IMirm, who had no means by which to sup- port themselves, That was still what 1t should be just who owned the Air- port at Godot'ich was not clear to the speaker. It appeared to him as though the Government had not sainted it, Dir. Atmaatrong suggested t'nat the Township Equalization was unfair, and out of all 'proportion, Nen In the Township could have done, it just an well, He praised the Women's In- stitute and thQ Red Cross for their splendid work in aiding the war ef- fort. Wo aro at war, and. that fact should always remain uppermost in our minds. This year had been a bad one for frirniers . with all the: wet 'weather, and much of our grain was unfit for feeding purposes, "At , the present time the Ontario farmer finds himself .loaded with hogs, • and his mush of itis grain unfit for feed, The West has had an 'exceptionally good crop of wheat this year. He urged that steps should bo taken to have the Government reduce rail freight rates, so that western grain could bo shipped and bought reasonably,. by Ontario farmers, Ho was sure that If this was dodo, a cousidgrabl9• market for it would be found here.. . Mr, Ira Rapson, another now nom- inee, was called on, Ho stated that he had nothing much to say. He hau been approached by several to lot his name stand for election, to the cone ell, and said that 'he would do so, . M r, Rapson had previously served on the council board. Mr. Jack Armstrong, another new man, stated that he had had no inten- tion to let his name come up, but cf being pressed by several, ho would consider it. It he decided to run ; he would appreciate the support .of =the ratepayers. W. W. Trowartha, Reeve pt.Clinton, was present, and the chairman ask- ed hint to address the gathering. Mr. Trewartlia said that lie had always enjoyed municipal work, to which he had been moro or loss an aspirant since the age of 30, first in his native Goderich. Township, and later in the Town 61 Clinton. He had attended the nomination meetings In !Andes. • boro this -past tow years and enjoyed them very •much, ;One point that hq endeavoured to clear up 'was that of the status of ;the "Sky Harbour Air. port, In thebeginning'• tlie County had established the ilrport,.. and as a Patriotic gesture, had rente4 it to the Government for $'1,00,:a year, It had .been classed as an Elementary' Train• Ing iSoliool'by.the Gpvornnient, and in this, Case the Government required that a company shoald.�be ,formed to run It, • Tw,this end, $35,0000itt stock had been ,sold in .Hiiron,`County, but the Governmont.,is. behind the project in that it pays -ail expenses of the air- port, such as board of men, buying o;i supplies, etc. The government sees that' everything, is run properly. In the establishment of the two airports at Godorlch and Port : Alb,ert, almost $+2,000,000 had been spent trio the Coun' ty by tato Government, • The cost of the buildings, which the ,government had borne,. was a large,itetn in itself. After the war Is oVor 'the '.stockhold- ,ers get their money., back; and the air- port is turned over to' the County. In closing, 'the speaker praised. the young men of the air force, w'ho aro arriving from all parts of the Empire, to•take advanced training at Port Al. bert. Before the meeting adjourned, Mr. Leiper spoke briefly, clearing up a few points on Equalization, which had hitherto been a bit contused.

The groom's mother was dressed in wine -colored wool ensemble, small hat with wine -colored flowers and matching accessories, and wore a orchid corsage, As the bridal party lett the church they were greeted by a large group from the local air -force station to !which the groom is attaclied. Large search lights from the Airport cost a brilliant illumination over the scene as the party left for the reception. Green Tree Inn at Hebron where lite reception was held, was a bril- liant scene. The interior was arrange - ed with Fall flowers and greens, white roses and 'mums predominating. The bride and groom, their parents and attendants and Lieutenant Rupert Guthrie of Victoria, B. C., received lite guests in the South Room. In the private dining room the luncheon table was centered with a 3 -tiered wedding cake and softly lighted by ivory tapers in silver candelbra. The toast to the bride was proposed by Lieut. Rupert Guthrie, and the reply came from the groom.

Given in marriage by her father. the bride wore a Molyneux modal wedding gown of stiff white brocaded satin with square neck and long sleeves ending in points over the hands. The gown had a very full skirt ending in a wide train and her tulle veil falling from a Juliet cap of carrick-ntncrosse lace and clusters of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of white roaes.

TONER, Ontario Federation of Anglers (NO. 18) PAN FISHES There are a number of smaller 'Behest that seem to have been put in our waters for the particular delight of the small . oy, and for that matter, they often interest bin dad. The sunfishes of this group are the most abundant and the most easily caught of the pan fish. A long pole, any kind- of a line, a float and a sinker, a fair- ly largo hook; with this equip- ment one can catch a mess of fish to my mind that are better eating than either of the basses, Ptrop Orly cleaned, filleted, dipped in flour and fried in deep bacon fat, our sunfish can compare with any of the river fishes of Ontario. Found everyhere in southern Ontario the common sunfish is a very pretty fish. Its colours are blue, green and lemon yellow with a distinct red patch on the so-called ear, These sunfish live en most all creatures of the water, snails, insects, various kinds of worms; they are one of nature's ways of turning uncon- sidered material into food that will be available for many larger creatures. Common Sunfish The connrnon sunfish constructs a nest in which the eggs are laid, In the shallow water of the sandy or weedy bays the male will clear a small circular patch down through the ooze and debris. Here the eggs are laid by the female and the male remains on guard for seer'al weeks. He protects the eggs from numerous minnows and other enemies and he guards the young fry until they are able to fend for themselves. In fact, the breeding of the common sun- fish is essentially the same as the black basses, a fact that would be expected when one knows the t boht are members of the same family, known to the scientist as the Centrarchidae, So remem- ber, the next time you catch a sunfish that you are taking a cousin of our best known genie fish, the black bass. Common Words Change Usage McGill University Professor Declares A 1940 Audience Would Have Difficulty In Un- derstanding Shakespeare if He Spoke To Them Today The rise and fall to which words in the English language are liable was indicated in an address by Prof. Clive H. Carruthers, Ph. D., professor of Classical Philo- logy at McGill University, in a re- cent address on "The Romance of Words." He examined for his and - lance the derivation of certain words, pointing out the way some of them have departed from their original usage. For example, if you called a pian a "silly idiot," he would not real- ise that literally you were des- ignating him as "one fortunate en- ough to stay out of politics," the old usage of "idiot" being to indicate a private citizen who' did not con- cern himself with public affairs, w hile "silly" denoted "fortunate." The lady's ''boudoir," now suggest• Jug charm and beauty, was at one time "a place to sulk," A "stew- ard" once meant "a swineherd," sga..tg be "nice" was to be "fool - fah" or "stupid." You would not please a woman by calling her a 'hussy," although the word in its original application meant a "houie- wife." VITAL WORDS SURVIVE Whether or not words survived in the changes by which the lan- guage is recreated depends on the vitality of the word, the lecturer pointed out, Some words, in the process of change, ascend, and others deteriorate in their usage. If Shakespeare were reading his plays to an audience today the lis- teners would have difficulty In grasping his meaning, and Chauc- er's reading of his works would be inintelllgtble, Professor Carruthers remarked.

Hungary Joins Axis So, King Boris of Bulgaria was bidden last week to Berlin; foreign Minister Suner of Spain to Salzburg; the chief Ministers of Hungary rushed to Vienna there to meet with Ribbentrop and Ciano and the Japanese Am- bassador to Germany, and sign a new treaty of partnership w;th the totalitarian powers. Only Yugoslavia seemed to have been left out of the Axis' current con- ference diplmacy, but that Balk- an kingdom was swiftly tieing outflanked, militarily, and from an economic point of view was already within the German -Ital- ian orbit. Yugoslavia Outflanked Poor, brave Greeks! Though able single-handed to put the Italians to rout, they could not be expected to counter a big German push through either Yugoslavia or Bulgaria, or through both at once. They ,night, if Turkey tvere drawn into the war , . Yes, half a million German troops last week were poised in Rumania, ready to go against Greece. Through Yugoslavia? They might encounter fierce re- sistance. Through Bulgr,.'ia? That was another question, cap- able of only an involved answer, Turkey The Obstacle Bulgaria's submission to Axis pressure was contingent upon a number of factors, of which these two weighed heaviest: the nation was split into three camps, pro - Nazi, pro -British and pro -Soviet .(SO';0 of the population, it was. estimated last week, leaned to- ward co-operation with Russia) ; again, if Bulgaria' attacked Greece, or permitted passage through of German troops, Tur- key was pledged • to come to Greece's cid. A move through Bulgaria might prove bad strategy on the part of Germany. Kirke L. Simp- son, writing for the Associated Pre.:, said in part: "Bulgarian entry into the war, actively or pe.ssively, would expose Ger- many's most vital War resource, Rumanian oil, to instant British air attack because Britain then woul l be free to fly across Bui- garia from bases in Greece . . . One obvious element in Hitler's policy on the Balkan front from the beginning of the war has been concern over security of the Ru- manian oil field."

Although now the Battle of Britain is in its sixth month, Hitler'Il never succeed in cracking the British, he declared. Battle of Atlantic Another U.S, political observer, \\'alter Lippman, wrote on the issues of the war: "Now as front the beginning of this war, now as in the first World War, now as in the Napoleonic wars, the out- come depends upon the control of the Atlantic Ocean. In the end the victory will go to the power'., which can use the ocean to supply themselves and can cut off their enemies from the non-European world, For Europe cannot be conquered in Europe, Europe cannot live within Europe, Europe cannot be at peace with itself unless it is at peace with the outer world, This is the reason why Hitler's victories on the land of Europe did not finish the war. This is the reason why even the invasion of Britain cr the destruc- tion of Britain from the air would only he the means to an end, the means to the control of the At- lantic Ocean. This is the reason why the renewal of his war against British shipping is much the most serious of all his efforts to win the war . ." It was indeed becoming more obvious that Britain would have to increase both navy and mer- chant marine if she were to win the war. She would have to aug- ment her ship -building program at home with further purchase in the U.S. or swaps for bases; and depend more heavily on the Can- adian navy for convoy work and mine -sweeping duties. More Ships for Canada Lars week Canada's Naval Min- ister Angus L. Macdonald an- n(.unced the Dominion's new na- val policy. Destroyers, perhaps cruisers, Mr, Macdonald declared, would be built in Canadian yards; MOLT merchant vessels turned out; a Canadian Naval College int - mediately established to train skilled seamen. Canada was in- deed preparing to assume it larger burden of naval service.

China Will Wait After forty months of war in China, Japan was reported to be seeking direct peace negotiations with General Chiang Kai-shek, head of the Chinese Government and army, But Chinese army spokesmen, when questioned, said that China, far from contemplat- ing peace, was preparing for three more years of war if neces- sary — at any rate she would fight on until a decision had been reached in the New World War.

There was every indication that storage egg stocks in Canada were the lowest on record.. , "increased production is being given every encouragement by, mcmbcts of the Canadian Pro- duce Association, believing that an increased supply will be re- quired by the British food min- istry, and that helping to _provide part ,,of the essential foodstuffs to the United Kingdom is part of Canada's national war effort," he said, , The price of •eggs in Canada would be maintained at a satis- factory level despite increased overseas demand.
