Colclough.--I have just ! finished unpacking anrt sorting the bales of cleating that you sent to us. I was delighted to find so much warm clothing for the school children, and intend to spend the next day or ,so out- fitting the 37 children who are at- tending school this year. Now that the weetlher ha3 turned colder, they need the wanner clothes. Several of t'hose youngsters drive er ride horse- back, seven miles to s+oh.00l each day, and must be warmly clad if they aro to attend at all regularly. About a month ago we received some discarded Air Force uniforms, and the Indian women ot our Home- maker's Club, have been busy making these over into pants, coats, skirts\ etc., for the school children. 1 wls'h some of the W.M.S. women who send us the bales could ,see tate very fine work some of these women can do when they have something to work whit, When the children get the ex- tra clothing supplied from the bale they will be well equipped for the cold weather, "The quilts, too, are very welcome as there is always a great demand for thein. "My sincere thanks to you—and to all the members of the W,IM.S., who contributed to the bale. I can assure thein that their efforts are much ap- preclated. Yours truly, Florence M. Hodgson." �V •••••.

In YOUR LOCAL PAPER. No By -Election For Huron -Bruce Riding MEETING WAS HELD IN WINGHAM LAST FRIDAY. Any anticipation that was held for an election in the Hunn C::: e Riding to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Charles A, Robertson, was squet h- od' by Pnetmier Hepburn, last Frit:1.y, when the Liberal Association for the Riding, meeting at \Vingharn, received a letter from the Pi'emuer, to the ef- fect that the government did not plan to hold a by-election in Huron -Bruce. For some time an active campaign was waged in the riding to have it represethtted in the Legislature. On several occasions daring the past year it seemed as if some i.�..1 s.1 would, b© taken by the Ontario Government but When nothing was forthcoming the reeves started a campaign. A pert - tion signed by the reeves of North Huron was taken to the Bruce county Council and that body on behalf of the townships represented in the Huu- sron-Bruce riding added its weight to the campaign. Reeve Raymond Redmond of East \\'awanos'lh township, as head of 111e delegation, wrote to Premier Hep- burn. 1 -le outlined the feeling of the riding as a whole and asked the Prone ler if there would be any chance tit the delegation presenting their plea to high. The Premier's answer- was read to the meeting in Winghaan the day of the meeting. Added to the information that there would be no election in Huron -Bruce, was the explanation that the Hepburn Government had considered the oast of the six ridings net represented by a member at sbhe present thne and had found that it woulet take $50,000 to the graveside. view of this fact it was decided that no election would be held in any of the vacant ridings. At the same time, James H. Ballantyne, the member for South Huron, had been instructed to look after the interests of North Hu - roil in Uhe Legislature. I. Owing to the fact that roads are usually in a bad state at this time of year, the meeting adtcipted the resolu- tion that the annual meeting be held the first week in June. ! The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Muretoch Mathe- son, Aslifield Township; vice-president Mrs. R. 'J.

Journal Brings Us An Inter- esting Sidelight Sometimes there are strange les - Sons to be learned from nature, The London Times recently com- pared the dodo, a large flightless bird now extinct, with the Britons. The comparison is unique and a little imaginative but nevertheless It points an ominous warning. "It is odd that the most striking lesson to be learned from this are tlque bird should he of the import- ance of air power," says the Times, "The dodo, like the Britons, lived on an island, wh' ~e It was compare, atively free from enemies; it ate the tropical fruit that lay on the ground and found its wings sup- erfluous and a bore; as a result it grew so fat that it could not have raised itself cuff the ground If it had tried—and at the first arrival of man it fell an easy victim, "The parable of the dodo has been known for over two hundred years and those who do not want to go 'the way of the dodo' had better keep their wings in good flying or- der—whether they live on an Is- land or not," R.A.F. Not "Dead as Dodo" The dodo of Mauritius island 111 the Indian Ocean and also the great auk of several islands off the Labrador coast were both wingless birds, They were secure on their island homes until the arrival of European seamen, then their lack of flight made them an easy prey to sailor's who would come ashore armed simply with clubs, The dodo became extinct early In the 1000's; the great auk became extinct over a century ago. Both species were literally killed off the face of the earth, because they had no algid power. It Is a strange and striking par - allot to what might also have been the story in Great Britain today, The "wings" nt Britain had become dangerously like the wings of the dodo and the great auk, But a new was born, the "wings" of Britain seized control of the sky over tortured Dunkirk and later • over the British isles itself. "Never was so much owed by so many to so few!" The Kazis hoped for It, but the story of the dodo and the great auk will never be re-enacted on the Wand of Britain. The dodo and the • great auk had lost their wings, but the Britons drew on that reserve strength which they always prortuee la an emegency, and re•founrl theirs. TAE TAKS By SADIE B.

They were rushed by air to Dover --where three men watching a rugby gatne had been killers by a Nazi shell fired across the Channel, "Tile mathematicians studied the shell's trajectory—arrived at by measuring the angle of the snapped branches in the trees through which the shell had tra- velers. They made their calcula- tions and located the exact spot In France from which the shell hail been fired, An R.A.P. flier went up and across and destroyed the gun, "The local mathematicians flew back to the London meeting.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—Thp two discourses of ors Lord found In this lesson were given In the Autumn of A.D. 29. Pentecost was in the Spring of A.D, 30, Paul's persecution of the Church was previous to the year A.D, 35, when ho was converters, The First Epistle to the Corinth• tans was written about 59 A,D,; the Epistle to the Galatians, ono year before that; the Epistle to he Epheslann, 64 A.D.; the book M Revelation about 95 A.D. Place. --Tho words of our Lord concerning the building of Ilis Church were spoken near Caes- area Philippi, The later discourse, from Matthew, was given near Capernaum, 'The 'events recorded from the book of Acts took place In Jerusalem; the city of Corinth was located in Greece. Tho city of Ephesus was locnted in the prow Ince of Asia, Many Believers Baptized 41, "They then that received his word were baptized; and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls." The Apostle Paul years later, in writ- ing to the Romans, asked how anyone could call upon the name of the Lord to he Saved except they believed of whom they hail not heard, and how could they hear, unless Aomeone preached to them. "So belief cometh of hear- ing, and hearing by the word of Christ." 42. "And they continued sted- fastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, In the hrenking of bread and the. prayers," The Ap- ostle Paul, in stating the four peat things for which the Word of God was profitable, placed teaching first. Unless we have the truth about our faith, our fellow - shin rests on. false foundations, 43, "And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and sloe were done through the np- oetles. 44, And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45, And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need," As far ne is known, this communal life was never prac- ticed outside of the city of Jer- isealm, It was not obligatory on anyone. An Ideal Community 46, "And day by day, continuing stedfastly with ono accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness, and singleness of heart. 47. Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved," The believers were persevering in daily attend- ance at the temple as a body for public worship. But besides the temple they had their own places of meeting, or synagogues, arch ae the upper chamber and Mary's Souse. Here, at home, they gath- ered together every evening for the breaking of bread. They. par took of their food loth bodily an rsplrlt.ually, This they did, with Joy and singleness ' of heart, or sincer- ity of character. These represent the true relation to God and man; the joy manifests.

The Ideal lite of the community 'attracted many new adherents, Perfection of Saints 11. "And he gave some to be apostles; and ,some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pas- tors and teachers." 12. "For the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ." All believers are the. saints of God, but no believer Is made per- fect the hour of his conversion. It will take nil the experlenc;s of llto to complete, and perfect in us •God's holy punto es for each of ae, 13, "Till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of t",orl, ento a tullgrown !nate unto the meas- ure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. 14.

This whole passage emphnsizes the tre- mendous need of teaching our people that In these days of multi- plied errors and subtle heresies, the children of God might nothe decoivert by wicked men.

Copying The Hawk Dive bombing, says The Brock- ville Recorder and Times, Is a new science in the present war, but duck hawks and other species of birds use this dive method for destroying their prey. According to a United Stites Department of Agriculture bulle- tin, duck hawks are the faFtest birds reported. "One of these hawks," says the bulletin, "div- ing on its victim flew 165 to 180 miles an hour when timed with a stop watch. Diving at a fock of ducks, at a velocity of nenrly 175 miles an hour, an aviator reports that a hawk, presumably a duck hawk, passed him as though the 'plane were standing still and struck one of the ducks." Man has copied the dive idea but has surpassed even the duck hawk in speed, the velocity of his descent being almost three times as fast.

Prince Bernhard Of Netherlands The True Son of An Adopt• ed Land, Says R. P. In the Christian Science Monitor Few men have enhanced theh' prestige in so short a time as Prince Bernhard of the Nether- lands. When he became prince con- sort of the Netherlands, there were some people, even among the Dutch, who had doubts as to the wisdom of Princess Juliana's mar- rying a German, and especially one who had been an officer In Hitler's Schutzstaftel (SS), But the former Prince zu Lipne- 131esterfeld soon proved his loyalty to his new fatherland and quickly won the hearts of the Dutch people. His feelings regarding the Germany which had to brutally de- stroyed the freedom of the Neth- erlands were recently expressed in a statement in which he declared that he felt nothing but bitterness against the present regime in his former fatherland and that he re- alised the old Germany he had known would never conte back again.

Recently he has established a reputation as a• public speaker. A command of foreign tongues is not unusual in royal families, but the prince's excellent English was much commented upon after a re- cent speech in London. "It might have been that of a young English officer," more than one listener declared, The simple eloquence with which he spoke of the day when Holland would be tree to do the things worthwhile doing un- derlined the fact that Dutch -Brit- ish "community of interests, cen- turies old, has grown since they joined arms against the common enemy. Last year, on Juno 27th, Dutch people in occupied Holland showed their appreciation of Prince Bern• hard and their determination to remain true to theh' ideals by ap- pearing with white carnations— his favorite flower—in their but- tonholes—much to the annoyance of the German invaders. This year, throughout the Netherlands Em- pire, thousands of Dutch people did the same. AND, WNATS "THE LEAST. RADIO REPORTEII DIALING WITH DAVE: "Henry! ... Henry Aldrich!"

It totalled $276.000,000, But that Is X24,000,000 less than the $300,000,000 cost of the 98 -day PaMfic Coast maritime shrike in 1936 which resulted In practically putting San Francisco out of bust - nee as a shipping port, So when you are wondering how we are going to pay for some of the big projects on this continent, just remember that it pople will go to work the cost can soon be made up. —Lethbridge Herald, —v— WORLD'S WORST CHEATERS In Canadian sentiment, there 1s no hatred of the Japanese as a nation, There is opprobrium oven now, and for a long time past.

Although 1940 production also surpassed the 1929 figure, it has increased so rapidly this year that it is expected to advance far he- yond even the 1940 total, the bank said. The letter commented that all business activity Is ex- panding with "bewildering speed," and the official index of the physical volume of business dur- ing the first eight months of 1941. averaged 12.6 percent. higher than in the corresponding period of 1940.

A second front—long and impatiently await- ed—has been opened against the Axis, This is not a hurried at• tempt to assitst Russia by estab- lishing a second front but rather a carefully weighed plan. It was designed (1) to relieve the Ger- man military pressure on Russia by diverting Axis man power and material; (2) to erase the Axis menace to the cotton and wheat resources of the Nile, to the Suez - Red Sea waterway on which 'em- pire communications in the Middle East depend; (3) to provide bases, it it over -ran Libya, for an intensified attack–�perhapa an ul- timate land Invasion — against Italy, the weak tenant in, the Axis house; (4) to demonstrate a strength that might give pause to the men of Vichy, who were moving toward closer collabora- tion with Adolf Hitler, a collabor- ation that threatened profoundly the arenas of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The shock of battle flared sud- denly and yet it has been known that the British and Axis powers were girding for a decisive trial in Libya after a military stalemate that has existed for six months. The Libyan battlefield was des- cribed ae a vast triangle enclosing more than 2,000 square miles, with its base a G0 -mile line south from Bardia, on the Mediteranean GOOD OMEN FOR THE ARMY Great things are in store for men in the Canadian Army in only % few weeks.

Perhans a quarter of a' million men marched toward the land of the Pharaohs. Oi'tnumbered Bri- tish forces retired, stalled the Italian drive in the desert. The Italians, despite their num- erlcal array and their 'confidence —they brought marble monuments along to celebrate anticipated triumphs—showed signs nt weak- ness. In December, the Army of. the Nile led by General SIr Archi- bald Wesel!, probed the Fascist line in a tentative surprise assault. Resistance crumbled, and the British commander, in a sweep ranking as one of the war's most brilliant, raced across Cyrenaica, Libya's eastern province, to Ben- gazi, some 400 miles from the point of attack. All Libya might have fallen, save for two factors; (1) the Army of the Nile was de- pleted in order to reinforce the Greek Balkan front for an impend- ing German thrust; (2) the Ital- ians were stiffened by German armored forces hurriedly sent through Italy and across the Med- iterranean to Libya, The Germans *under General 17rwin Rommel, Panzer expert and veteran desert warrior, took full advantage of the skeletonized British. The Army of the Nile was rolled hack from Dengael to Egypt in shorter time than it had ad- vanced. Only at Tobruk, the bat- tered port 80 miles from Libya's eastern frontier, did a garriiion of empire toons hold on. Like the earlier ltslian drive, the German posh came to a halt in Western Egypt at the end of a precariously long line of communications. Months of Stalemate From late f'pring until lust week Axis and empire armies faced each other in a stalemate.

Tho British depended in part on supplies from the United States arsenal—particularly tanks and planes—and from India. Their sea lines were tremendously long, but from the Red Sea ports, where the freighters unloaded, the land lines were comparatively short, well organized and protected, It was believed that last week the • British had several hundred thous- and men available—drawn from all corners of the empire—and an air force exceeding that defending the hone isles hi 1940's Battle of Britain, Pressure on Vichy Vichy ist being pressed into . closer collaboration with Germany, General Wegand, commander of the French Africa forces, has been retired "at the express demand of . Hitler" Although disliking the British, Wegand has always hated the Nazis. With him out of the way, Vichy may be preparing to bow to the. following German demands; (1) Use of the French fleet, still the strongest in the Mediterran- ean after Britain's, to convoy Axis supplies to North Africa; (2) ' use of bases and transit facilities in French Tunisia, Algeria and Mor- occo for Axis troops and material; (3) a pledge by Vichy to protect Rs African Atlantic bases froth a possible "attack" by Britain or the United States. From now on, unless evidence is forthcoming to the contrary, France must be looked upon as a potential, if not yet an open and active, partner of Germany. Her fleet and her great naval and air bases to Africa may at any moment be placed at the disposal of the Nazis. But until Bizerte, Casa- blanca and Dakar are taken over by the Axis there will remain ground for hope that this second surrendered of France may not prove such a catastrophe for the democratic cause a i her .first one. That is why the British offensive in Libya is of such great import- ance, not only to Britain but "to the United States,; " British Morale' A quotation from "Mein Kanipf," printed on placards in big black letters, appears everywhere in the Middle East and India, from the bomb -shaken dugouts of To• bruk, through the crowded hotel lobbies of Cairo to Baghdad bar- racks and the bazaars of Teheran. The Fuebrer's comment on British morale. • reads; ; , * "Tho spirit of the British nation enables it to carry through to vie - tory any struggle it once enters upon no matter how long the strug- gle may last or however great tho sacrifice that may be necessary or whatever tlio means which have to be employed; • and all this though the actual equipment at hand may be utterly inadequate when compared with that of any other nation."

Airplanes eat up tons of aluminum and the metal is required for other war purposes. It is not only the bauxito that needs the guardianship of the United States. It is the terito'ry itself, If the Nazis had made a thrust across the South Atlantio from Dakar, which is the French base on the bulge on the Atlantic) coast of Africa, it would have meant a German threat not only; to Dutch Guiana, but also to Bre tlsh .and Freneh “Giiana, as well as Brazil And it would have brought the Nazis within striking distance of the Panama .canal, Aid To Greece Left We alis Gen.

"Our conquests in Cyrenaica were left to be held 'by a garri- son of partly -trained and partly, equipped troops," he said. "t made' a miscalculation there.
