make this the greatest day in the his-

the Howick Legion. For years Mr.

now has a collection of 125 articles
etiating back to 1735. He calls the dis-

RECRUITS WANTED
FOR AIR FORCE
When loading cattle at the C, P. R.
stock yards here on Thursday, a bull
which had broken away from the rope
with which -it was held attacked Wal-
ter Lockridge and severely injured
him, Walter was rushed to Wingham
General Hospital and on Saturday was
taken to St, Michael's Hospital, Tor-
onto. We are happy to report that
theinjuries although serious were not
as bad as was at first expected and
unless complications set in his pro-
gress should be satisfactory,
Walter suffered a terrific beating,
The bull knocked him down twice and
he was thrown quite a distance. How
he managed to get over the fence of
the enclosure is almost miraculous,
Most of the ribs on one side were
broken as was his shoulder blade. At
first it was feared he was injured in-
ternally but fortunately this was not
the case. We hope that in next weeks
paper we will .be able to report that
he is much improved,

Afternoon Train To Make Connection
At Palmerston For Toronto
Wingham is to have a more direct
connection with Toronto over the C.
N.R. For about a year now since the
closing of the London-Wingham line
the citizens of this district -had only
one direct connection for Toronto that
was in the morning via Palmerston.
The only afternoon connection was by
Listowel and Stratford which neces-
sitated long waits, and arriving in Tor:
onto about 10.35 p.m.
Commencing Monday, June 29th,
the mixed train from Kincardine will
arrive in, Wingham about 1.30 p.m.
and will we understand, be speeded up
and connect with the Owen Sound
train at Palmerston, arriving in Tor-
onto at 7.40 p.m. This change is long
past clue and will be appreciated by
the travelling• public especially since
the curtailment of gasoline,
The budget brought down in the
House of Commons on Tuesday even,
ing by Finance Minister Iisley shows
:ecreased taxes that will affect most
all the people of Canada. Due to the
short' time since the budget was
brought down it is difficult to coirtpr,
bend all its facts -but the increase will
produce great revenues, ordinary taxes
an estimated $377,000,000 and income
tax an estimated $410,000;000. The
estimated deficit despite the above
revenue is 2 billions of dollars,
Income is affected except single men
earning not more than $660 and mar-
ried men whose income is not over
$1200.
Incorporated with the income tax
is a compulsory savings plan, The
new tax on a $1500 income would
work out about like this: for a single
man the payment would be $367 of
which $120 is War Savings; married
men with no children will pay $217 of
which $108 is war savings; married
men with two children will pay $49
of which $24 is war savings. War
savings will be returned after the war
with 2% interest added. Tax will be
deducted at source when possible and
will start Septethber 1st. Payments
made up to .that time will be credited.
Some deductions for payments on
pensions .and insurance will be allow-
ed against the war savings if they
were in force prior to the budget. Ex-
cess profit tax will be 100 per cent,
20% of which will be war savings.
Increased taxes will affect soft drinks,
liquor, beer, wine, cigarettes, cigars,
dance hall, night clubs, telephone calls,
travel tickets and various other serv-
ices.

GUEST PREACHERS
St, r gun Church Observed 75th
Anniversary, Large Congregations
Present
---
St. Paul's Cletneh observed the oc-
casion of the '75th anniversary of the
founding of the parish in 1867, which
coincided with the 50th anniversary of
the laying of the 'corner-stone of the
present church in 1892, with approp-
riate services of commemoration on
Sunday, June 21.
Duringthe morning service the
rector dedicated the Christian Flag,
presented by the Altar Guild of the
Church. The "Te Deum", the great
hymn of thanksgiving was sung be-
fore the reading of the lesson, and af-
ter the repetition of the Christian.
Faith, an act of Dedication was made
by the congregation, The rector con-
ducted the service, Rev. F, W. Schaf-
fter reading the lesson.
Rev. H. W. Snell, rector of St.
Paul's 1917-1926, and now principal
of the Mohawk Institute, preached the
sermon, taking as his topic "The Holy
City:" The mistakes that all chtirches
and nations have made is that of
thinking that their privileges' and re-
sponsibilities are confined within their
own borders. This accounts for many
religious bodies, for many antagon-
istic nations. We must lead up to a
wider allegiance to God and His
people everywhere. Our God is the
God of all men, and nationalism must
be cast out. Let a man ,once believe
that God is the Great Father of all
and that mankind is one then he is
doing God's- work and building the
Holy City of God, which must have
its foundations in. Heaven,
The offertory anthem was "0 Lord
Be Gracious Unto Us."
The evening sermon was preached
by Rev, F. W. Schaffter, rector- of St.
Paul's, 1926-1932, and now rector of
St. Jude's, Brantford, Ont. His sub-
ject was "The Christian Interpretation
of Power." The nearer we get to
Jesus, the more surely we discern that
His Power is mightier than all the
destructive forces let loose in the
world to-day. His Power lasts longer,
penetrates deeper, reaches farther, and
it abides when all others have spent
themselves. Only' those who are in
real relationship with God can bring
to meat our human need the one
unfailing power, which is the hope of
the world. Through dedicated lives
alone can flow the power of God's
Righteousness, for the salvation of
mankind.
The evening anthem- was "God is
our Refuge and Strength," with so-
prano solo by Mrs, R. E. Armitage.
Greetings were brought to the con-
gregation from the Bishop of Huron,
Dr. Seeger, and many former members ,
and friends of St. Paul's renewed their
friendships during the day. At both
services the church was filled and the
Altar Guild nad tatsefully decorated
the Nave and Chancel with beautiful
baskets of roses and peanies and other
June flowers. It was a day to be re-
membered in the annals of St. Paul's
Church.
