Malartie, Quebec, wh< as guest of the day, abscrved the functions af bis annual visit anc delivered an insPiring address based on the abjects of Rotary and their application ta a worlc recently freed f rom the threat of tyranny. Seldom have the mein- bers of the local club beard in terms a! high oratory a more practical expression of g r e a ideals than the message deliverco by Mr. Hethenington. The ap. plause which greeted bis perara. tlan of "bridging a war-sick world back te peace and prosperity" was expressive of the close attention his message inspired. Wben introducing the District Governor, Charles Carter Sr., tald that he and President C. W. Siem- on had met with hlm recently in Toronto and were înspired witb his personality and bis capacity ta make friends, influence people and promate ideals o! citizenshlp and service. As chief construction engineer of Malai-tie Mines af course gold was the material pro- duct with which he deait, but it could not compare with the gold of the moral lessons which with hirm were of even greater concera in Promating Service in Rotary and an expanding knowledge o! the requirements in building a better and brightcr world. Mr. Hetherington congratulated himself in being present at a fine club with a really remarkable at- tendance record and was inspired with bis meeting with the Direct- ors prior ta the luncheon. With farthright directness and a grace of fluent expression be intraduc- cd bis theme by stating that today we stand on the threshold of a wonderful era, with the world aggressors bowed under termns of unconditional surrender. They started it; we finished it.' Humbly and securely grateful ta a Divine 3rovidence we must now take up -;the tasks o! reconstruction with the same determination that la- spircd us through the six dark years o! war. Victory is ours in trust anly. We must make sure we do not fritter it away as we did in former times. Already we sec emcrging into the light o! day the religiaus, social a nd lingual prejudices which were te a great extent sub- merged duning the conflict. We must nat let these get the better of us in aur camplacence and moral laziness. If we are sincere la aur quest for peace and secur- ity we have to learn sametbing about living together. The time has came ta change some o! aur philasophy and way o! tbought. History books are pra!usely dated witb staries of batties and conquests. We have lauded the gloriaus pages devoted ta the milii- tary achievements o! Alexander, Xerxes and the Pharaohs but have failed ta give due respect to the pioneers in mathematies, science and pbilasophy, through whose genius bas evoived the civilization we bave enjoyed and must recap- turc ta deserve a better worid. Wben we bave fargotten the phil- osophy and teaching o! the Phil- osopher o! Peace we bave fallen into the dire consequences o! in- ternational bate, fear, greed and aggression. Wc have made treaties and pacts and resorted to tbe deviaus expedients of appeasement but force and migbt 'bave been the reward. The only expedient upon which we can rest aur faith in the future is !aith in Gad, faith in one's fellow men and the higb purpose inherent in thase ideals. Since the dawn o! time ail human pnogress has been with a minaritN with faith in its high purpose and strenÉth a! body and mind ta achieve that purpose.

By example and precept we must show our yauth, the flower o! every generation, to think in terms a! mutual faith and warid feliowship. Turning ta the problem o! the returned men and wamen o! the 1late war, the speaker said thal Lwhlle many wiil be coming back twith greater assets than ever, many will be carrying a double burden and some will not be com- Ling )back. In memory a! the dead it is up ta us ta sec that their de- pendents do not suffer fromn lacl< a! material cam!ort or from the lack o! an understanding heart. We patted aur brave youtb on the back when they went away, be- fore they were able ta take part tn the commercial and political a!- fairs o! the nation, and tbey have earned a deathless obligation that we must attempt ta repay. Having saved to us aur way ai lif e we must not let tbem came back ta be regarded as. liabilities. If it bada't been for them aour whale social and political struc- ture wouid have been destroyed.' No matter how devoted we may be ta -tbeir welfare it compares but dimiy with the devotion of thelr service te us. And the speaker declarcd that Rotarians can take the lead in practical demonstrations o! the matenia] and moral aspects s0 necessary for the welf are and readjust- ment o! those now so lateiy com- ing back among us ta take their places in society and take up the burdens a! keeping the peace. With a strang plea for thase who come as new citizens ta this land a! freedom, Mr. Hethering- ton wamned that we must shake off our prejudices a! race, creed and religion. We may teach a man the moral code but cannat change bis faith. Let us remem- ber, he said, that in every coven- ant between God and man and in every religion, the individual was free ta adopt it, where freedomn existed, as he saw fit. Only through friendship can we become eternal, the greatest heritage we can ever enjay. It is only thraugh the kind o! feilowship exemplified in Rotary that we can emerge inta the great adventure o! know- ing people and only by knowing tbemn can we achieve a universal undcrstanding lcading ta a worid a! peace and security. Conciuding, Mr. Hetherington said that be came te Bowman- ville knowing vcry few and he was leaving witb the warmn feel- ing of having came ta know many friends. He commended t h e ancient Law o!

This lad wishes that bis name should not be made public for good reasons. It can be told, however, that he is a brother of another Bowman- ville boy who wvas decorated for conspicuous gallantry on the battie f ield. His letter states: Dear Mr. James: "Would you be kind enough to print this in your paper? I am a returned soldier and spent 5 years and 3 months away from Bowmanville, ah of which time was overseas. I fought in Sicily and Italy and spent 16 months in a German prison camp. I am back home now, discbarged from service and am told I must get out of the place I am now living in. "My landlady has threatened me and my wîfe with a court order if we do nrt move right away. Ail of this seems unfair ta me. Why is there such a shortage o! bouses in this town? I have no children and I expeet I shall be forced ta do as another Bowmanville prisoner o! war, file application to return to England to get a home. "A soldier is at least respected and welcomed over there. Mr. James, please understand I am not looking for the impossible. Ail I ask is a place ta live in my own home town s0 I and my wife can be com!ortable and carry on with my work in the Goodyear Company which held my E job open for me wbile away on active service."t (Note: This letter is signed by a boy well known.ta the editor of The Statesman. It is printed for public in- formation. A copy is being mailed to Canada's Prime Minister. Other copies are available ta churches, service clubs, town council and the Citizens' Committee. Ed.)

Local Coal Situation Explained by Dealers According ta #infarmation gathercd lacalhy within the past !ew days, the coal supply for this seasan will be as ample as that during 1944, but there is a change in the amaunts o! substitute grades to be delivemed with an- thracite. This bas been occasion- cd largely because bard coal pro- duction is down from 15 te 17 per cent this year. $ Delivenies last year requircd that 25 per cent substitute fuel accampany 75 per cent anthracite.
