A DESERVING RECOGNITION
We wish to extend to Mr. Russel T,
Kelley of Hamilton, congratulation on
being named the most outstanding
citizen of that city, Mr, Kelley is a
uative• of Teeswater and is well known
to many in this district, He is not
only known here by what may be
termed old timers, but by many others
AS he visits his native haunts with
great -regularity and though his vari-
QM activities increases his friendships
as the years go by. Mr, Kelley is head
Of an advertising agency that bears his
name and we have pleasant business
relationships with him. during the time
we have been in the newspaper business
here. His efforts that gained for him
the great honour from his fellow citi-
zens are many and varied. Probably
the most outstanding at present is his
contribution to Red Cross work as
chairman for Ontario of the Blood
Donor Service. He is also active in
sports and other patriotic endeavours
beside his Red Cross activities. Al-
though he has been thoroughly adopt-
ed by the city he still retains his
love of the soil and agriculture has no
greater champion than he. We could
continue to extoll his virtues but these
are well known to most all in this dis-
trict. So we close stating once again,
congratulations on this most deserving
honour.

WE HAVE TO KEEP PLUGGING
The news from the battle fronts of
Europe are rinich better than we were
receiving a short time ago, This has
only been accomplished by the sacri-
fice and splendid efforts of our sol-
diers. It ,has been stated by high
authorities that the German push into
the Belgium bulge has set the winter
campaign of the Allies back ';at least
three .months. Many of us were too
quick to feel that the war would be
over before longhand with it came a
let-down in our war effort. We now
know how wrong we were and should
put added effort into our 1945 activ-
ities. There should be no let-down
until Victory. is at hand. Back the
• boys over there in 1945 as never be-
fore..

dous, and at night the stars seem to
be ready to drop down upon you, they
seem, so close, Beyond us the Pinal
Mountains rise a mile above the town,
anti we are already 3600 feet above
sea level. The rectory is on a hill
and overlooks the city, so that we al-
ways have a picture of the rugged,
majestic scenery, the very tapestry of
God, Sometimes it is bathed in sun-
light, sometimes hidden by the clouds,
at others reflecting a mingled fantasy
of colour. Dull would he be of soul
who could pass by a sight so touching
in its majesty.
We find a remarkable loyalty to the
Church heee. People come in from ten
and fifteen miles regularly for services.
On Christmas Eve the Church was
crowded at 11.30 pen, and we had
folks from San Carlos, 25 miles away,
where there is not a Church. One
Sunday morning I spoke to a man and
his wife at the door, and they informed
me they had come down from a lumber
camp 70 miles away-for the service-
and would be coming snore regularly
now that avRector had come. Loyalty!
A desire for spiritual help - these
people prize it. There are many out-
lying districts without a church, and
the people want the Church.
Globe is a picture of the Internation-
al mind, A walk along Broad Street
introduces you to Mexicans, Indians
(Apache and Navajos) Spaniards, Ne-
groes and GreelA, as well as the des-
cendants of British stock. Originally
many Welsh and Cornish people came
here-and I also find many names
such as Ryan, O'Neill, Casey, Murphy
and Sullivan. I enjoy„looking into the
faces of all these creatures of God's
World. It is fine to note that the
National Council of Youth Movements
here are urging the study of Race
Problems, There is a keenness to
to create youth action with respect to
interracial understanding.
The school buildings here are
splendid, modern and well equipped.
Many of the teachers in the public
schools are graduates of Universities.
In methods, Arizona has profited by
the mistakes of other states, I under-
stand it ranks second in its educational
standards. The school Lionel attends,
has 700 pupils and 26 teachers. One
is 'amazed at the buildings, Some 6
miles' away at Miami is a marvellous
high school; and a public school cover-
ing about 5 acres-in a town of •5,000.
Lionel goes to school at 8,20 and is
dismissed at 3.30. Patsy still goes
9 to 3.45. The books, scribblers, etc.
,are all supplied at the Public School.
There are 5 Public Schools here.
Customs here, vary considerably

theatres open Sunday afternoons, for
the rest of the clay. Wines and liquor
may be purchased at' drUg and grocery

an intoxicated person on the street.
But all this appears strange to us.

Orangeville Mayor Wants
Recreational Centre
At the inaugural meeting of the
Orangeville council, Mayor McCulloch
delivered a very fine address. Among
other things, he said, "I suggest that
as a definite symbol of our gratitude
to the girls and boys who are serving
king and country, and to those who
have already given their lives, we
should make a start on a memorial
park and recreation centre containing
swimming pool and other forms of
suitable entertainment. Such an under-
taking would fill a much-needed place
in our community. I hope that 1945
will see a definite beginning to this
worthwhile undertaking.

Walkerton resulted 1--n an investigation
being made by authorities and as a
consequence the three children in the
domicile were removed and placed in

R. C. Fox, written. on December 18,
four days after he was wounded in
action. The letter, in part, read: "Old
Jerry has put me away for a long
time, It is very difficult writing be-
cause I am flat on my back as he put
a large piece of shrapnel through my
right hip."

the people here quite interested in our
political situation in Canada which
was much to the fore about the time
I arrived. This has given me an op-
portunity to interpret the Canadian
mind to the people here. I have been
able to meet the Lions and Rotary
club at their meetings and to speak to
them and to endeavor TO act as an
emissary of good will. We had two
R.A.F. boys for the New Year's week-
end. One was Irish, the other Eng-
lish-and they were quite pleased to
be in a "Canadian" home-I think they
felt were just a bit more of "home"
than the American people are, They
are stationed not far from here. Well,
this is winter in Arizona. So far I
haven't worn a coat or hat. The temp-
erature has dropped to 26 a few nights
but the Iris, and roses and mums and
Narcissus are still blooming outside
the door. The days are warm, There
is practically no twilight, and at 6 p.m.
it is dark and suddenly cooler. By
7 a.m. the sun is shining through the
windows and it is , broad daylight.
Arizona is frequently described as the
Land of the Sun. Here, ages ago, the
Great' Architect, created the peculiar
combination of great open' spaces, of
monntains, plateauserivers; and deserts.
in just the right pattern to produce
this land, Thousands of people are
finding today, their "Fountain of
Youth" in this land of mystery and
romance: Man-made structures may
come and go, but the life-giving sun-
shine and the lure of the distant horiz-
ons will be here for ages, for the re-
juvenation and healing of all people

ent.

some of my impressions of the State
of Arizona and of our life here.
Arizona has sometimes been deserib-
ed as the last frontier of America. It
is, of cotirse, the newest state in for-
mation and its resources and possibil-
ities are as yet undreamed of. The
essential industry is copper rifting
and thousands of men are employed at
the Castle Dome, Inspiration and
Miami Mines, All of these are quite
close to lobe, as well as the Inter-
national Copper Mining Corporation.

MAKE THINGS LAST!
There is still plenty in
Canada-lots of things not
rationed. These are the
things we should ration our-
selves. It's just good sense
to do without ruxuries---to
make things last. Every
dollar we save today will buy
so much more in peacetime
tomorrow. That's the way to
protect the price ceiling-to
protect our Own interests in
