Bulteel, rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Clinton, at. Epiphany, Sunday morning service,' stressed the Anglican Advance Ap- peal for Rededication and Thank - offering. The appeal, made by Arch- bishop: Derwyn T. Owen, Primate of :all Canada, it, part, was as follows: "The Christian Church is standing at a Cross Roads—Two. roads stretch out before the Church, one the way of complacency and satisfaction with the spiritual condition of the world, the other paved with great oppor- tunities and also great respon- sibilities. To choose the former is to arrive eventually at a condition of spiritual, ineffectiveness in the life of our country. To choose the latter, and to walk it with self - dedication and self-denial, is to bring the Church to a land of great spiritual accomplishment. "The guns of the greatest war in history have ceased firing; our men are returning home, their job well done, and their victory won, but the Church's Warfare must go on! • "For the Church victory must mean, the healing of the nations. She can- not relax while self takes the place of God in human hearts, or there remains a people or a place where God's love has not been proclaimed. "The Church of England in Can- ada is , aware of the responsibilities confronting her. She is proud of the part played by her sons and daugh- ters in the two great wars. She expects to be equally proud of the part which her people will play in carrying on the struggle for truth and goodness, fellowship and under- standing, the recognition of the Fath- erhood of God, and the brotherhood of man. "Our Church believes that she has a definite and unique contribution to snake to the spiritual life of Canada. "The Church of England in Canada is preparing to launch The Anglican Advance Appeal for Christ and His Church, and to enlist her people in making this contribution as effective as possible." 0 BUSINESS LICENSES An increase in the number of small businesses in Western " Ontario is seen in the large number of applica- tions to conduct a business made to the Western Ontario regional office of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.

LOST FOOD RATION BOOBS The end of hostilities and the holi- day spirit are held' jointly responsible for a sudden increase over the past few weeks in the number of persons reporting lost ration books. According to ration officials the number of applications from persons asking for replacement boobs is. now numbered. in hundreds monthly in Western On- tario. Ration authorities have issued an appeal for the greater care of books pointing out that books, replac- ing those lost or stolen are "tailored", that is all the valid coupons declared good before the book is issued are removed. In obtaining a new ration book applicants must have a notarized statement. Greater care than ever should be exercised this year, officials point out, because of the fact that sugar coupons good for the purchase of either sugar or preserves are doubled in value and are declared good once a month. RATION COUPON DUE DATES Coupons now valid are sugar 46 to 67, butter 116 to 136, preserves 33 to 67 and P1 to. P25, meat 1 to 19. Sugar coupons now becoming valid ' will be good for either one pound of sugar or twice the former value of preserves coupons and canned' fruits - MISS, F A N,L%JE PR'EE.TER Following a service at the T.

BAKERS and CONFECTIONERS PHONE 1 CLINTON Clinton Branch No. 140, Canadian Legion Clinton, Ontario • Due to the recent edict of the Attorney -General of Ontario, the weekly bingo parties conducted by the Clinton Branch of the Canadian Legionn have necessarily been discontinued. , The members of the Legion wish to express their appreciation to the general public which, by its consistent support, has made these bingo parties successful. This patronage has enabled the Legion to send cigarettes regularly, throughout the period of the war, to servicemen overseas from Bayfield, Brucefield, Blyth, Varna and Clinton. 863,400 cigarettes were sent, and the hundreds of letters and cards received from overseas showed how much they were appreciated. By allowing the use of the Council Chamber for this purpose, the municipal authorities contributed materially to the success of the undertaking. T. G. SCRIIL'BINS, President M. J.
