Dr. McIntyre gave a very strong sermon, placing the'causes of chaotic world condi- tions in {he one and only place. The church has fallen in its privilege and responsibility to recognize full power of “The Spirit of God, the Word of God and the Grace of God.” Laskay Y.P.U. enjoyed a program prepared by Mrs. Ruth Finch based- on the Kingdom of God. The case for free trade between Canada and Great Britain for the period of the war can be put-1n the simplest and most concluswe of terms. Great Britain, whlch under peacetime conditions bought so han- ily of Canadian products that it could not pay for them with goods directly exported, is now compelled to enormously increase her imports from Canada. while the means that were available to her in peacetime for providing. payment of the bal- ances are'no longer available. The difficulties of making enlarged pur- chases and of paying for them are thus enormously increased: with possible consequences of the most serious character. Obviously a par- tial solution to the problem is for Canada to take payment to the greatest possible extent in British goods. thus reducing exchange diffi- culties to a minimum. This will lessen the strain on British financev stimulate in some measure the pur- chase of essential materials in Can- ada. and thus generally add to the both on Mrs. Lawrie Boys entertained friends from Thombury this week. Mrs. Silk’s daughter Dorothy of England writes that in the place where she lives, every street has a pig that eats up the garbage accord- ing ,.to plan. Not such a bad idea and one our village could use nicely since we need a garbage collection so badly. England appreciates con- servation, besides think of the pOI‘K they can eat when the pigs are ready for market. Mrs. Forsythe has been visiting among Toronto friends for some time and has quite good health. We wish her many more birthdays but not under similar sad circumstances. Eversley Community and Church picnic held at Wilcox Lake last week was attended by more than 100. A good program of sports and a good supper were heartily enjoyed. Mrs. Maggie Forsythe observed her 9lst birthday on Friday, August 2 at the home of Mrs. J. B. McLean of Toronto where she was visiting. On that morning Mr. McLean passed away from a heavy stroke which came upon him on Thursday. _Mrs. Arthur Male and dayghter Barbara 01‘ Toronto are holidaying at her brother’s, Mr. Thos. Ander- son.

Mr. and Mrs. Brudenall and daugh- ter, Miss Joy Clark of Toronto were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Len Glass on Sunday. At the time of writing King City is working on Street Dance project, the funds to be used for W.I. war work. The object of the dance is a common one, and all can share in its success. Master Bob Walker is the guest of the “Burlington Butcher’s son” at Port Stanley. Mrs. Harshaw and Miss Nancy Hal-Shaw are holidaying at Mrs. Harshaw‘s brother, Mr. McMaster of Oshawa. King Institute are planning a pic- nic trip to Midhurst on Tuesday. August 13th, bus to leave at 1 p.m. Sharon park was the. first place spoken of for this event and later changed to Midhurst. The reforestaâ€" tion plan here should be very interv esting to members.

Stornaway House used to be the scene of dinner parties, at which Arnold Bennett, Beaverbrook’s close friend, was invariably present. Some stage people, H. G. Wells, people of every kind, and every profession, with a visiting film star, would meet politicians. . . .

Be- sides, I arfi not sure that I could do the job”. Within an hour or two Stornaway House, the large barely-furnished mansion in which Beaverbrook lives, was invaded by Brass Hats and air- plane manufacturers. (Note: Hannen Swaffer, one of the best-known journalists in Eng- land, is the author of the following illuminating article about Lord Bea- verbrook, the dynamic Canadian, born at Maple, Ontario, who became one of Britain’s foremost newspaper owners, and is now Minister for Air- craft Production in the British Gov- ernment. Lord Beaverbrook’s only son is a pilot officer in the R.A.F., and has brought down a number of Nazi planes). lord Beaverbmok - Human Dynamo THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO N-340 Penalty for Nan-Registration â€"â€" Failure to regi<ter will ake any male or female, married or single, over the age of 16 years, liable to a fine not exceeding Two hundred dollars, or to imprisonment a term not exceeding Three months, or to bOth such fine and imprison- ment, and moreover to a further penalty not exceeding Ten dollars for each day, after the day upon which he should have registered, during which he shall continue to be unregistered. Registration ofiices are being set up by electOral districts in the same manner as in the last Dominion election. Registrants are required to register in the regular polling sub- divisions of their own constituencies. But should a registrant be in some other province or district out of the regular polling subdivision on Registration Days, he or she may register at any registration ofiice convenient, upon satisfactory explanation to the local deputy registrar. WHERE TO REGISTER EVERYONE CAN HELP â€"To keep the cost of this registration at a minimum the Government is asking ~the co-operation of all public-minded citizens in the work of regis- tration. You can help by getting in touch with your local registration officials and offering your services. Winston sent for him, because the two knew each other well. But the Conservative Party generally hated Beaverbrook. Mind you, it is easy to dislike him if you don’t know him, and he was too critical of the Tories, although he tries to be one. Beaverbrook used to suffer from asthma. When Winston sent for him he forgot it...Now, directly after breakfast, he leaves Stornaway House for the new Ministry’s off- ices. There, full of vigour, the “Bea- ver” voice, and laugh, echo from room to room. I have seen him only once since He often attacked their Machine. His Empire Crusade, his insistence 'on food-growing, his hatred of in- ternational conferences â€" all sorts of things had‘made him a real Isto- lationist at times. . .Winston, another individualist Tory, always remained his friend, and WinstOn knew of Beaverbrook's great interest in fly- mg. “Beaver” had his own aircraft at his own Surrey airdrome, and, most nights, he was taken on long flights, sometimes taking the controls him- self. At one time Beaverbrook was spending nearly $135,000 a year on flying â€" buying and selling his own aircraft like other rich men buy and sell their motorâ€"cars. Winston knew all this. Neville ChamBerlain had never heard of it. Then Winston had for long been fascinated by Beaverbrook’s extra- ordinary characterw So heavy was the whip with which Beaverbrook drove airplane manu- facturers that, from May 17, the day of his appointment, until June 7, the Hurricanes (fighter planes) being made had doubled in number! tidan, but never in 20 years had a cross word with him. He is almost the most loyal-hearted man in the country. I This was only possible because, under Winston’s control, the profit system had been eliminated. At Lab- our’s insistence, the country had been nationalised. ’ublished under the authority of HON. JAMES G. GARDINER Minister of National War Services he started his new Job. I called at his home at 11 o‘clock one night. Only Col. Moore-Brabazon, , M.P., first Britisher to obtain a pilot’s li- cense, and head man of the Hurri- can Wo'rks, was there. Just before midnight the ’phone rang. “I‘ve got to go to Downing Street", said Beaverbrook. So off he went to see Winston...All day long now his life is like that... Well, on a few men like Beaver- brook. our brave troops, our glorious sailors, and our incomparable air- men now depend. Inspired by them, directed by them, the workers slave ceaselessly.

Interchurch rivalry added keen- ness to sport c0mpetitions when more than 100 Thistletown, Sharon and Ebenezer United church members staged a joint picnic in the Ebenezer school grounds on Thursday after- noon of last week. The program was arranged and supervised by the Ebenezer Women’s Association, committee members be- ing Mrs. H. Fieldhouse, Mrs. Leslie Livingston and Mrs. Walter D-alziel. WARTIME STRIKES Every strike is preceded by a dis- pute betWeen employer and em- ployee. That is the time the Depart- ment of Labor should step in. It should possess and eXercise the au- thority to judge the merits of the dispute, through a board on which both sides would be represented, but on which the department’s decision should be binding. Then, either party which refused to abide by the ver- dict should be subject to prosecu- tion under the Defense of Canada Regulations. Any person, be he em- ployer or worker, who brings on a strike when Canada needs all her in- dustrial strength for waging the war, is guilty of disloyalty.â€"(From the Windsor Star.
