Won Prizes at Listowel Carnival
Miss Irene Clark won 1st prize in
the single ladies* rate at the Listowel
Carnival last week and her sister,
Laura, won 1st prize as best lady
skater.
Murary Johnson and Roy Adair had
narrow escape from severe injury
on Tursday but neither of them were
injured. They were driving to Tor
onto about noon and near Weston the
car hit a slippery spot and turned
completely over, coming to rest fac
ing the opposite way on top of a wire
fence. It all happened so quickly that
neither Murray nor Roy left the seat^
and when the car came to rest they
stepped out without a scratch, The
car was little damaged, the paint was
scraped off the top some as the car
turned over. A truck came along and
pulled the car back onto the road and
they proceeded on their way.
If this had been one of the old-
style cars without a metal top, it no
doubt would have been a different
story.

Victory Over World, Says Franco
A crowded movie theatre gave Na
tionalist General Franco of Spain a
tremendous ovation when it was an
nounced Great Britain and France
had recognized his regime as the leg
al Government of Spain, He was
cheered again by thousands outside
when he left the theatre and then ag
ain at his home. Appearing on a bal
cony at his home after a crowd below
had called for him, Gen. Franco in
a 10-minute speech ,said Spain has
“fought a winning battle against
Communism and the forces seeking
to destroy her. It was victory over
the world,” he said. Etc thanked Ger
many, Italy and Portugal "and other
countries who were among the first
to extend us friendship.”
The annual service of the Women's
World Day of Prayer was held in the
Baptist Church on Friday afternoon.
Many women from the different con
gregations were present. The theme

love in deeds and make it real,”
Mrs.. E. (M. Loney was leadei’ for
the service and intercessory prayers
were offered by Mrs. Kenneth Mac-
Lean for all those in special need, for
all lonely ones, for the suffering and
discouraged, and those whose spirit

the nation; Mrs. Wm. Connell for
their Majesties King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth, their counsellors,
advisors and for all the heads of the
nation; Adjutant Terry for the Chris-
tion Church, her leaders, teacher and
workers in all countries; Mrs. Wm.
■Field for those sections of the world
Where teeming millions hunger in
body and spirit, needing Christ and
Christian leadership.
Miss Raymer of the City Mission
gave a very inspiring talk on the need
of Christian Literature. She stated
that Christian literature is just as
cheap as poor literature and if the
youth of to-day were not allowed by
their parents to read poor literature,
they would learn to read good litera
ture. There is a quantity of Christian,
fiction on the market now also. • She
emphasized the Bible is the best lit
erature and should be read by every
one.
Mrs. W. Henry rendered beautiful
ly the vocal solo “I Shall Not Pass
This Way Again?’ The Women’s

31 and 32, pointing out the import
ance and value of the Word of God,
also the importance of the right
choice in life. Sunday afternoon he
gave a very instructive and inspiring
sermon on the subject “The Scarlet
line through Scripture” using as a
text “The blood shall make atone
ment for the soul,” In the evening.*
the text was. found In the second-
chapter of Colossians, verse 10, the
first clause “And ye are complete in
Him.” The speaker showed so clear
ly that in Christ we have a complete
salvation, He Who is our Wisdom,
Righteousness, Sanctification and Re
demption. This service was preceded
by a good, lively song-service, follow
ed by the announcement of the com
ing of a worker amongst the Jews,
