For their want of such clothing-, the full fruits of ultimate victory over the Axis can be lost. But there is no need for any such Zack while the attics and other storage places in millions of Canadian homes. are hung or cluttered with castoff, yet still serviceable, SPARE clothes, shoes and bedding. Millions of pounds of such materials, useless and never to be used by us, are available to the war ravaged des- titute. The National Clothing Col- lection, which opened OctOber 1st„ is designed to transfer our serviceable castoffs to Ihese .streiken peoples. And now is the time for you to raid your attic or catch-all storeroom and force it to yield its share of usable apparel to those in desperate need.

PRESBYTERY WELCOMED SEVEN NEW MINISTERS INTERESTING CLIPS OF DISTRICT NEWS "FOR WANT OF A NAIL" "For want of a .nail a shoe was lost—," Most of us are familiar with the military adage which opens with that line and goes on to tell how the miss- ing nail, by costing the loss of a shoe, cost the loss of a horse, of the general who rode it, and ultimately, the loss of the battle in which the general's lead- ership was essential to victory. Through its frequent repetition, or through sayings of similiar character, the lesson of the importance of seem- ingly' trivial things to great achieve- ments has been pretty well established in Canadian minds. Yet, we wonder how many, have thought of the irdportance of their cast-off clothes, shoes and, bedding to the restoration of this war-torn world and the wholesome and lasting peace which we all desire when the final vic- tory over the Axis nations is won. For want of adequate clothing, dur- ing the five or more years of Axis ag- gression, uncounted numbers of the men and women and children—inno- cent victims of the Nazis and Japs— have died of exposure or diseases traceable thereto. As our valiant armies liberated their lands and freed their peoples the full ex- tent of their suffering and their pres- ent desperate needs were revealed— large families forced to share tattered garments scarcely adequate to cover a single person; children and older people forced to remain in their shat- tered hovels or to step forth virtually naked into the rigors of harsh climates, other Axis-made conditions equally appalling. And these are the peoples who, if a real peace is to come after final vic- tory, must rebuild their broken homes Crusade For Christ To. Be Launched Huron Presbytery met in Walton United Church, on Wednesday with the chairman, Rev. R. G. Hazelwood, presided. The new ministers in the Presby- tery were welcomed and introduced, They are Revs. C. B. Woolley of Ash- field, F. G. Stotesbury of Bayfield, G. C. Weir of Centralia, W. J. Rogers` of Dungannon, C.. W. Down of Exeter, Albert Hinton of Kippen and A. D. Penman of Londesbora. Inspiring and. instructive addresses were given by Revs; Duncan McTav- ish, president of London Conference; M, P. Smith, conference convener of the Missionary and Maintenance Fund, and George Moore, conference director of the Crusade for Christ. In' order effectively to launch the Crusade for Christ and the Kingdom, Presbytery was divided into four zones with a key man for each. Rev. H. V, Workman for Seaforth, Rev. W. A, Beecroft for .Wingham, Rev. R. H. Turnbull for Goderich and Rev. A.,. B. Irwin for Exeter. Presbytery accepted an allocation of $26,185 for the Missionary and Maintenance Fund for the yeal-1946. This is 11 per cent more than the al- location for 1945. Regret was expressed at the passing of Rev. John W. Johnson, who though superannuated, has, ably supplied on. the Bluevale charge for the past two years.' Temporary supply, in the per- son of Rev. S. J. Bridgette of Lam- beth, has been arranged for Blueyale. Presbytery accepted the application of Ernest George Clarke, Seaforth, as a candidate for the ministry. Benson Sutter, president of Huron Young People's Union, spoke briefly about the London Conference Young People's Convention held in North Street United Church, Goderich, re- cently. Ue said it was one of the best, and he had attended the last thirteen annual conventions. A resolution requesting the Ontario government W close all women's bev- erage rooms was adopted. Presbytery urged that World Wide Communion Sunday be observed in the September 25th. He was first taken to Alexandria and Marine Hospital and later transferred to London where he died eight hours after admittance. A post mortem was. performed by Dr. Fred Luney, London, on instructions from Coroner Dr. A. R. Routledge.

S. Fraser is a patient in Listowel Memorial Hospital, seriously ill with pneumonia. At latest reports his tem- perature had subsided somewhat, but his condition was such that a specialist from London was being brought in for consultation, hope for a definite improvement soon.
