With persons hold ing the legs of Mr, Russell Balkwill he was able to pull the little girl to safety and afterwards Mr. Ford was pulled from the water.

MERCHANTS TO SELL WAR SAVINGS STAMPS The Dominion Government has set up a Dominion War Finance Com mittee to handle the whole ques tion of raising money for war pur poses by War Savings Stamps and Certificates and Victory Bonds. The Dominion Committee is subdivided into Provincial Committees, which are ’ subdivided into County Com- mittvs and each county is divided into Municipal 'Committees. In this way each municipality will have a representative on tbe county com mittee and he will be known as municipal chairman. Dr. Camp bell is municipal chairman for Hen sall; H. K. Eilber for Stephen; Fred Dawson for Usborne and R. N. Creech for Exeter. Each municipal chairman will set up committees to assist in securing the maximum' amount of financial help to aid the Government to prosecute the war. In Exeter the following committees have been appointed: Publicity, J. W. Morley, J. M. Southcott and R. N. Creech; sales of War Savings Stamps through merchants and deal ers, F. A. May, T. O. Southcott and E. R. Hopper; sales through schools, the 'principals of the High and Pub lic Schools; sales through employer and employee, E. J. Green and B. W. Tuckey; sale- of bonds and cer tificates, Ulric Snell, A. O. Elliot and R. N. Creech. The immediate call is for increas ed sale of War Savings Stamps and Certificates and the Ottawa Govern ment is anxious to enlist the help of every merchant and dealer in the sale of stamps by having them keep a supply of stamps on hand at all times for sale to their customers. Post cards are being supplied to the business men by the Government and the merchant material mailed to the advertising comes to the ‘busi ness man or woman direct from Ot tawa. Anyone not having receiv ed a car'd from Ottawa can secure one from R. N. Creech. The business man then buys the Wai’ Savings Stamps from the Post master and sells tomers, and then and sells them. Please keep in not only effort for school in Anyone reads a newspaper knows that the world-wide battles are not going in our favor.

The kitchen of James St- church was a busy place on Thursday last when about 20 women answered the call of the Red Cross to help make jam. From nine-thirty in the morn ing until eleven at night the work ers cleaned, weighed, stirred and canned boxes of gooseberries, rasp berries and black currants, with the result 'that over a quarter of a ton of jam was put in the cans, ready to be labeled and sent to head quarters. This, we think, was a pretty good day’s work for a few willing workers to accomplish. Con siderable money . was donated to help buy the fruit and sugar, but very few donations' of fruit were given so the committee are still in need of help. Gifts of money foi* this worthy cause may be made to the . convener, Mrs. Martin, or to Mrs. Kyle. The Red Cross wishes to thank all who helped in any way and to extend thanks to James St. church for the use of their kitchen.

Albright, a returned missionary trom Japan, and at present chap lain to the various units of Japan ese volunteer workers in Western Ontario. In a very lucid and in formative address he traced the course of Christian missions in Ja pan from the time when tne Roman Catholic fathers started the first- mission in the 15th century to the present time. In spite of a very' severe persecution when the clergy were completely slain, a remnant of Christians continued for 250 years without the leadership of a clergy. Protestant missions began in 1865 and are encouraged and pro tected by the state. At the present time all Christian denominations*’ I with the exception of the Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics and Seventh Day Adventists are united as a Christian church in Ja pan. Mr. Albright has great hopes for the church there, expecting that ■ultimately the f nation, practically as a whole, will be a Christian na tion. A very fine spirit of Christian, fellowship is working among 'the Christians. During the -past year the Church in Japan sent delegates to Christian conventions in China. That Christianity in Japan would, not be blotted out by the war was the firm conviction of the speaker, Roman Christianity endured 250 years of persecution in Japan so there is every Christianity will do the same this time. However, to be any trouble unless it be on the question of worshipping the emper or. The Christians maintain that they pray for the emperor and not to him. “A distinction between the Japanese military and the Japanese Christians must be drawn,” declar ed Mr. Albright. The pastor, the Rev. Nor v al J. Woods, had charge of the service. He welcomed the contingent of Ja panese from the Centralia camp who were present, transportation been provided ■ by several business men.
