THURSDAYLSEP'IERIBER 7th, 1939. l)Prime Minister’s Mgssage 1 To the Canadian Penpie For monthsâ€"indeed for yearsâ€" the shadow of impending conflict in Europe has :been ever present. Through these troubled years no stone has been left unturned, no road unemployed in patient search for peace. Unhappily for the world, Herr Hit- ler and the Nazi regime in Germany have persisted in their attempt to extend their control over other peo- ples' and countries, and to pursue their aggressive designs in wanton disregard of all treaty obligations, and peaceful methods of adjusting international disputes. They have had to' resort increasingly to agencâ€" ies of deception, terrorism and vio- lence. It is this reliance upon force, this lust for conquest, this determinâ€" ation to dominate throughout the world which is the real cause of the war that today threatens the free- dom of mankind; Forces of Evil Loosed The fate of a single city, the preâ€" servation of the independence of a particular nation are the occasion, not the real cause, of the present conflict. The forces of evil have been loosed in the world in a struggle between the pagan conception of a social order which ignores the indi- vidual and is based upon the doc- trine of might and! a civilization based upon the Christian conception of the brotherhood of man, with its regard for the sanctity of contrac- tual relations and the sacredness of human personality. As President Roosevelt said on opening Congress on Jan. 4: “There comes a time in the af- fairs of men when they must preâ€" pare to defend, not their homes a- lone, but the tenets of faiths and humanity on which their churches, their Governments, and their very civilizations are 'founded‘. The de- fense of religion, of democracy, and of good faith among nations is all the same fight. To save one we must make up our minds to save all.” This, I believe, is the position in which all nations that cherish free institutions, individual liberty and social justice find themselves today. Canada Answers Call I need not review the events of the last few days. They must be present in the minds of all. Despite her unceasing efforts to preserve the peace of Europe, the United Kingâ€" dom has today, in the determina- tion to honor her pledges and meet her treaty obligations, become in- volved in war. This morning the King, speaking to his peoples at home and across the seas, appealed to all to make their own :the cau‘Se of freedOm, which Britain again has. taken up. Canada has already answered. that call. On Friday last the Govern- ment, speaking on behalf of the Can- adian people, announced that in the event of the United Kingdom 'becomâ€" ing engaged in war m the effort to resist aggression, they would, as soon as Parliament meets, seek its authority for effective co-operation by Canada at the side of Britain. As ‘you are aware, I have all along felt that the danger of war was such that Parliament should not be dis- solved, but be available to consider any emergency that might arise. House Meets Thursday Parliament will meet Thursday next. Between now and then all necessary measures will be taken for the defense of Canada. Consultaâ€" tions with the United Kingdom will be continued. In the light of all the information at its disposal, the GOV- ernment will then recommend to Parliament the measm'es which it be- lieves to .be the mast effective for co-operation and defense. That Parliament Will sanction an necessary measures I have not the least doubt. Already I have receivâ€" ed from the Leader of the Opposi- tion and from representatives of the other parties in the House of Com- mons assurances of their full appre- ciation of the gravity of the situa- tion and of their desire to see that such measures are adopted as in the The Following Is The Full Text Of The Address Delivered To The Canadian People By Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King Following The Announcement That Britain Was At War On Sunday, September 3rd present crisis will :best serve the na- tional interest. of a state of war, the Government has already availed itself of the pro- visions of the War Measures Act, to take essential measures for the de- fense of our coasts, our land and our. people. As has already been an- nounced, the militia of Canada, the naval service and the air force are already on active service. Prevent Profiteering This morning these measures were supplemented :by others. including the putting into effect of the “de- fense of Canada regulations". Mea- sures have also been taken to pre- vent profiteering in the necessaries of life. Of the latter measures my colleague, the Minister of Labor, will speak to you in a moment. Our first concern is with the de- fense of Canada. To be helpful to others, we must ourselves be strong, secure and united. In anticipation In what manner and to what ex- tent Canada may most effectively be able to co_0perate in the c0m- mon cause is, as I have already stat- ed. something- which Parliament it- self will decide. All I need to (add at the moment is that Canada, as a free nation of the British Common- wealth, is {bringing her cmoperation voluntarily. Our effort will :be vol- untary.

The people of Canada will, I know, face the days of stress and strain which lie ahead with calm and reso- lute courage. There is no home in Canada, no farnily, and no individual whose fortunes and freedom are not bound up in the present struggle. I appeal to my fellowaCanadians to unite in a national effort to save from destruction all that makes life itself worth living, and to preâ€" serve for future generations those liberties and institutions which oth- ers have bequeathed to us.

The vital statistics of the Town- ship of Vapghan for the month of August were: Births 3, Marriages 3, Deaths 5. The big Power House at Niagara Falls on the Canadian side was tot- ally destroyed by fire on 'Monday ev- ening about 8 o‘clock. The loss of prroperty is $75,000 on machinery and $10,000 on the building. Last Saturday’s Illustrated Globe contained an excellent photogravure of a barnâ€"raising on the farm of Hon. N. C. Wallace and his brother, T. F. Wallace, reeve of Woodbridge. on the 6th of July. Accompanying the photograph in the Globe was an interesting description of the barn- raising the concluding part being as follows: “It was the biggest affair ever held in these parts in the way of celebrating a barn-raising. The oldest inhabitant daea not remember when so many people assembled at a function of the kind‘. Mr. T. F. Wallace was the ‘gemal host’ of the occasion in the absence of his ‘hon.’ brother at Ottawa. A .‘bounteous re- }past was provided for the guests in 1a large marquee tent, and the young people wound up the festivities with a dance.” Mr. Rmflcliffe, manager of the On- tario Bank at Aurora, was in the Village a few days ago, and stated that a branch was soon to be start. ed in this place. Two men will be here constantly andr lM‘r. Radlcliffe will have supexvision over the branch here as well as at Aurora. THIRTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of Sept. 2nd, 1909 The fire in the Parliament Build- ings in Toronto this week will en- tail 3 loss of over half a million dollars. “ "' There have been so many fires 'in Aurora during- the past few months under suspilcious circumstances that the authorities decided to get Inâ€" spector Green. and County Constable Burns to investigate. The damage so far is about $10,000. 'The fires have generally \been in barns and stables, (but two houses have also been found. burning. Marriage SMITHâ€"COMISKYâ€"At 424 Welling- ton St. W., Toronto, on Wednesday, September lst, 1909 by Rev. A. P. Brace, B.D., of Richmond) Hill, Laura, youngest daughter of Joseph Com- isky, Esq. to Herbert Smith, both of Markham Township. WAY BACK IN “I know a Come to think of it, he’s right. For where will you find anything comparable in valueâ€"so muchâ€"for so very little ? Every minute, day or night, the telephone is ready to serve your social, business or emergency needs. You may have grown accustomed to this servicehyou may think nothing of talking across continents and oceans! But when you‘do think it over,you realize that the modern telephone represents the greatest value in terms of service that money can buy! Telephone service is widely used in because it is courteous, efficient, yet surprisingly inexpensive. Nothing else yields so much for what it costs! when I see ONE!” BARGAIN Mr. John Michael, writing from his home in the West, on the 24th of August, says “Crops are excellâ€" ent here this year. Harvest is gen- eral, and we had our first frost last night, but not enough to hurt the wheat.” LIBERAL FILES Miss Dorothy Dunlop was award- ed first prize for rhest decorated priâ€" vate motor car at the Canadian Na- tional on Saturday. From our Issue of Sept. 4th, 1924 Both the Public and: the High School re-opened Tuesday morning. ‘The enrolment was 300 in the Pubâ€" lic School andl 173 in the High School. Norman Baggs, 8 years of age, son of Mr. James Baggs, a wellâ€" known cattle raiser of Edgeley, Vaughan Township, was awarded first prize for his handsome. little Jersey calf “Silver Star” at the To- ronto National Exhibition last week. Two rinks of lady ')0w1ers went to the city last Thursday and played friendly games with the ladies of North Toronto. The Richmond Hill rinks were successful in both games. The visiting players were: Mrs. N. J. Glass, Mrs. J. Palmer, Miss M. McLean, Miss Gibson skip; score 24-1. Mrs. C. Kerswell, Mrs. D. Watson, Mrs. J. R. Herrington, Mrs. G. Glenn skip; score 12-9. Four games were played on the bowling green here in the afternoon and evening of Lalbor Day, in a local tournament. Several of the contests were close, and no rink won all the games. The weather was perfect, and all enjoyed the sport. Refresh- ments were served lby the ladies about 6 o’clock after two of the games had been played. The follow. ing are the winning teams: First. Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Glass, 27 points; second, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Greene. 20 points; third, Mr. Wellman and Mrs. Kerswill, 20 points; fourth, Mr. ‘and Mrs. A. G. Savage, 19 points. Mr. Greene’s rink had to play an extra two-end game to break the tie with Mr. Wellman. - One proof that an increased num- ber of tourists are visiting Canada Ithis year is found in the fact a larger number of nonâ€"resident angâ€" llers’ licenses have been sold. Reve~ 'nue at the end of July was 27 per cent higher than at the same time (last year and. since August 1st the number of summer visitors appears -to have increased rather than de- 'creased. v SINGLE COPIES 50. $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE FIFTEEN YEARS AGO N0. 10
