There are some people who say they do not want to see a film' about the war, read a book about it; or do anything else that reminds them of it. They say they want to forget: about the war. They even say they are tired of reading about it in the newspapers. These are the people who are self- ish, self-centred and indulgent; who hate 1’0 be reminded of anything that disturbs their peace of mind. That is not the mentality that will win the war. We can only win it by measuring up to our responsibilities Tuesday at noon our attention was drawn to a large red truck which delivers a well known soft drink. It was parked on the crossing used by all the children of the public school. The driver and his companion were loungcll down in the front seat fast asleep, and the well known slogan painted on the door in large white letters was “refresh yourself.” It was a poor “ad” for refreshment. to the utmost of our capacity, in the interest of others as well as of ourselves.â€"-â€"‘S‘tratford Beaconâ€"Herald. The Minister of Agriculture assures the people of Canada that there is sufficient beef, pork, mutton, veal, turkeys and poultry to supply their needs. There may be a shortage from time to time, but there will be no suffering so long as other varieties are plentiful as stated. Who would not willingly abstain from the use of beef to make sure there is suffi- cient at all times for the men in the different army services. I’ve done a lot of canning, I’ve jellied and I’ve jammed. My back is sore, my feet are tired, And I can hardly stand. I’ve carried jars both large and small, My brain refuses to think, But I wouldn’t mind the strain at all If someone would tidy the sink. A reader has spotted this sign in a Houston (Teyas) shoe-shining parlor: “Pedal habiliments artistically lubricated and illuminated with am- bidextrous facility for the infinites- imal remuneration of five cents per Operator.” Sixty pupils are attending the public school at Ansnorveld in the Holland Marsh this year.

Bird Chatter BIRD QUIZ RICHMOND HILL Recalls Early Days Church Marks Anniversary Cost of the present building was $2,400, much of the labor and ma- terial being given free. Old mem- bers recall that the laying of the cornecstone was marked by an acci- dent. Part of the congregation pre- sent, at the ~ceremony was suddenly plug erl into the basement when the fl King gave way. One of the first (Protestant con- gregations in Upper Canada, Temp- eranceville United Church Sunday observed the 45th anniversary of their present church building. Al- though early records are somewhat obscure, it is known that the church was first founded more than 130 years ago. 333111 departments of the Temper- anceville United Church have pro- gressed since the early days when itinerant “saddle-bag” preachers led the congregation in worship. The Sunday School itself is 110 years old, church officials point out, and many former members have gone into the ministry. Among them is the late Rev. Dan- iel Norman, long a missionary in Japan, whose death occurred last year. Five generations of the Bey- non family have also worshipped in the church, Mrs. Benjamin Beynon having‘ been a member for 50 years. Rev. R B. Beynon of Thornton, who died this year, was another member of’the family. Another long time member is Mrs. Walter Bovair ,with more than 45 years attendance. She was the first president of the Lad- ies’ Aid at the church. The present church building is the congregation’s third home. The first, of log construction, was known as “Love’s Meeting House.” According to Alfred Love of Aurora, 97-year- old descendant of the family, it stood for nearly half a century. The first brick structure was built in 1854 of bricks and tiles made by Robert Love on his own farm. O'ld members recall the “presenter” who led the singing with the aid of a tuning fork. About 1897, when settling foundations caused the walls to crack badly, plans were made for the present church building. Rev. Herbert Lee was then minister. DANCE AT VELLORE A euchre and dance under the aus- pices of the Sr. Institute will be held at Vellore Friday, October 9th. Rev. Stuart Ferguson of Zephyr, a native of Temperanceville, was in charge of the services.
