A soldier stumbled out of a bar, slightly under the “al- fluence of incohol” and bumped into an admiral with the usual amount of gold braid on his sleeve. “Hey, doorman, get me a cab, will you?” asked the soldier. "I’ll have. you. know that I’m an admiral,” was, the indig­ nant reply. “That’s okay,” said the soldier, “then, get me a battleship." 0-0 - 0 And another bit of news, that has the Battery buzzing, is the fact that the Battery ball team, known as the Juveniles,, lost the game to Madoc to tie the series up at one game each, in the final round, of the provincial title.

The club is fortunate in having loyal make-up and wardrobe .helpers, as well as a'hard­ working stage committee. However,, this latter group is small and what is needed now and for the next couple of weeks is men who would be willing to drive a few nails. No experience necessary and everybody welcome. If you. care to volunteer your services, please call 712, Remembering, the success at finally locating that elusive pug dog for “Life with- Father", the club is again looking, for an unusual prop.

The second in Luke 12, depicted the rich fool who had such an. overabundance, he knew not what to do with it. tioned the people to be thankful, offered prayer. A reading by which told in a sacrifices that one woman made to fill her thankoffering envelope, and a duet from Mrs. Scholtz and Mrs. Dan Tiffin of Whitechurch, with Mrs. Garnet Farrier at the piano were both much enjoyed. Mrs. Geo. Boss and Mrs. A. J. Fox received the thankoffering which was dedicated by Mrs. E. S. Lewis. The members of the auxiliary then stood in silent prayer remembering two life mem­ bers, Mrs. John Lennox and Mrs. H. Bosman, who had passed away sinde the last meeting. The special speaker .was ReV, D, J. MacRae, minister of the church, who took as his subject, “Now Is the Time." To-day is the most valuable time in our lives and Mr1. MacRae suggested that we put our hearts into Christ’s work to-day; yesterday is past, to-morrow is a vision, it is to­ day that counts. Every day should begin with thanks and God should be given some time, each day, by all Christian workers. ■ The president, Mrs. Roulston con­ ducted the business. It Was decided to have h quilting- for the bale on Thursday, October 13. At the close Of the meeting, lunch was served by the social committee, Then, Psalm 106 men- who so soon forgot Mrs. Gowans then Mrs. W. VanWyck humorous way the Packers’ Challenge to Hog Marketing Scheme (Continued from page one.) packing plants, and accused some of the drovers of accepting money both frpm the producers and the packing houses. "What we want is to have our hogs delivered to the open market where they can bo sold under com­ petitive bidding'", he told the meeting. Jake Kohler, general manager of the hog producers sales agency, out­ lined the new marketing scheme un­ der which assembly points in London, Stratford and Kitchener will be staffed with men to tattoo the hogs and direct them to the plant to which they have been sold. When the direc­ tional program gets under way no producers will be allowed to sell hogs direct to the packers. Question Period! Opponents to the marketing scheme got their chance to say a few words during a question period which fol­ lowed the speakers. Jim Coultes, of Belgrave, questioned the democratic rights involved’ In the directional' pro­ gram? and' suggested’ that hog produc­ ers should vote on whether they wanted the marketing plan or not. He told of his experience in the west and How the people there had turned down a similar’ proposal for market­ ing hogs, Melvin Stemmier, of Perth County, told the meeting that the marketing Board’ had done nothing but aggra­ vate the producer by its directional’ program. Theodore Parker related’ how he Had’ taken a load’ of hogs to a packing plant in Kitchener, demanded’ his cheque and got it. He said that the marketing board Had then brought pressure to bear on the packing plant to1 make further cheques* payable through the board. On September 16th Phrker said he took a second load of Hogs- to the plant; for which He had received payment on the 4ay before th© meeting, in defiance of the board’s order, He invited other who want payment direct packing plant to contact their problems. Up to Courts In reply to Parker, McInnis said that the legality of the marketing act was "something that the judges will have to decide'', He said it was the privilege of any citizen to challenge th© law by taking it to court, and expressed the opinion that it would be in the best interests of all con­ cerned if the legal aspects of the matter were cleared up in this way.
