QUICK SOCIAL AND PERSONAL Phone 663 Plan For Pleniy This is the springtime - the time when Mother Earth is ev- erywhere proclaiming the promise of baunty. Yet today millions go hungry. Food, a great uniting force of God, has been made by men a mighty divisive power. For ta- day food has become an ideolagi- cal weapon. In many nations men h ave sold their freedoms for bread. Because their stomachs crave food they have accepted ideas which their minds and hearts have rejected. The need af the hungry na- tions can link ail men in an ail- out selfless effort ta serve, feed and clothe humanity. Can Democracy feed bungry Europe? And will Europe find in Democracy the answering idea ta fi the vaid left by Fascism, Naz- ism and turn the tide of Commun- ism? Canadian farmers raise much of the food that has kept Eurapeans aliv.e. But what will tbey live for? Our food can strengthen men to fight another war or it can strnghe them to iight for Europe needs food, and desper- ately, but food alone will not satisfy its bunger. When men are hungry they may respond toaa materialistic appeal. But material food only fis the stomach. It cannat satisfy the hunger for a decent world. Hunger breeds hate-bate for those beld respansible for it. That hatred cannat be cured by bread alone, but by the passion ta build a new world, where none will need ta go bungry. 1A passion ta build can only came when the heart is free from se f-interest and the "gimme" spirit-purged afi ah but the dlean drive o! love for a new world. We must produce an inspired ideology for Demacracy. We can do it. It is a crop which grows quickly. We can sow the seeds af 1I hanest apology, change of heart and obedience ta Gad. We shal reap a harvest of moral fiber and team-work in the nation. This we can export with aur food. ,. 1 ST. PAUL'S UNITED CHURCH Rev. G.

Dr. and Mrs. M. J. A. James, who have been residing in Toron- ta for several years have now taken up residerice in Bawman- ville, their native tawn. They have sccured apartments in Dean Hodgsan's house an Queen St., where they maved in last week. The Canadian Grocer repra- duced Harry Allin's 40th anniver- sary announcement which ap- peared recently in The States- man and made complimentary re- ference ta Mr. Allin's long and successful business service as the dean of Bowmanville merchant princes. Mr. Don Ventan spent the week- end with his parents, Chief Con- stable and Mrs. Sydney Venton. Don has recently resigned his po- sition as assistant engineer with R. V.

Wightman, for the past nine ycars general manager of the Daily Standard-Freeholder has purchased the Napanee Ex- press and took charge an May 1. Many of aur readers will recal that Mr. Wightman was foreman of The Statesman for several years following the death of Nor- man S. B. James. We welcome 'Dune' to the weekly newspaper fraternity as we f e4l he will be a distinct asset in upholding »and promating the high standards of weekly jarurnalism. The States- man staff joins with bis many frîends in Bowmanville in wish- ing him every success. W.M.S. of Trinity Church held their supper meeting in the S.S. room aon May 4. President, Mrs. C. A. Wight conducted the busi- ness. Secretary Mrs. A. S. Baker read a letter from Japan thanking the society for a parcel received. A special collection was taken ta send mare parcels during the summer. Mrs. W. P. Rogers gave the report on Christian steward- ship, stressing two points, inter- cessory prayer and influence. Mrs. G. L. Wagar's graup taok the warship service, their theme being "Each for ail and ahl for cach." Miss Ulva Green sang a sala. Mrs. R. G. Hoskin and Mrs. J. E. Elliott gave the study boak. Miss Norma Piper, as an un- dergraduate in Occupat i o n a Therapy, wil intern at Ontario Hospital, New Toronto, for two months. since the aId revival. days had there been such intense feeling as that displayed by the audience for Communism. Everything the Communist speaker said was re- ceived with applause and cries of appraval. while his apponent in the debate elicited nothing but ironical laughter and interrup- tions. In bis opening remarks the minister had stated that a "friend of the Forum" had 'phoned ta con- gratulate hlm on the fact that "there was one place where there was fréedomn of speech." This .was received with thunderous ap- plause. But later in the meeting he had ta check his applauders for interfering with the freedom of speech of the defender of Cap- italism. The subject of the de- bate was "Should Cammunism be Outlawed in Canada?" The Com- munists present left no roomn for doubt as ta what they would do with Capitalism if they had the law in their hands. I came away fram the meeting wondering. what it was that those people wanted -whether they really knew what they wanted. Judging by their fanatical demand for freedom, one would imagine that they would be the last ta want ta came under a system Lwhere they would flot only be outlawed but liquidated if they at- tempted ta indulge their rabid desire for freedom af speech. ýDarch Tobacco Firm In Wholesale Only In last week's repart of the veryý able address of Rotarian Ab. Darch at the regular meeting of the club it was stated in error that he was the proprietor of the A. C. Darlch Wholesale and Retail firm of Bowmanville. Mr. Darch conduets only the wholesale ta- bacco end of it. His mother stili conducts the retail tobacco busi- ness, established many ycars ago by her late husband. Opinion about tawn is that the address of Mr. Darch at the Ro- tary Club was a brilliant effort which shed much light an the tobacco industry. His frank dis- closure of some of the scientific and technical aspects of this great world trade by no means could be construed as adverse advertis- ing. Rather the contrary for he fallowed the new trend in indus- try of being perfectly frank and honest. His business will graw because of these fine qualities as a businessman. risk their ca Whai i Freeprofit. It is Enterprise? thiat is vl (Ottaa Jounal)It may be (Ottaa Jounal)that the eai FJ. S.

Church As A Polifical Forum By Lewis MIllIgan Recently 1 attended a "People's Forum" which is held every Sun- day in a United Church in lieu of the evening service. The church was formerly Methodist and is typical interiorly of most of the churches that jained in the union. Although I arrived in good time, I found the lower part of the church filled and was directed ta the gaI- lery, which was eventually well- filled by late-comers. Except for the quartette, the choir seats were empty, but the five high-backed chairs on the ras- trum were occupied by the min- isterý the two debaters and twa church off iciais. The meeting was opened with prayer, scripture reading, and the singing of the hymn, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." One of the debaters was a well-known Communist, the son of a former socialist Meth- odist minister, and a graduate of the Communist training school at Moscow. In his younger days he had probably sung that hymn with Methodist fervar, but he now kept his eyes sheepishly on the book and his lips moved very feebly. He may, of course, have substituted the name of Jesus with that of some other "friend" apprapriate ta his prcsent creed. As 1 looked around the auditor- ium my mind went back to, the time when the evening service in that church was regularly filled with warshippers, and when those walls re-echoed with the soul-stir- ring message of the preacher and resounded with the ecst«atic sing- ing of the congregation. I thought of the saying, "To what base uses ... "l But I tried ta keep an open mmnd. Tmes had changed and people had changed with them. The generation that built and fill- ed that church had moved away and most of them had passed on ta the "many mansions" of which they sang.., I tried ta enter sympathetically into the mind of the minister who had turned his evening services into a public forum: I knew that Churches ST.

He had probably got tired of preaching ta an empty gallery and the sparse- ly-filled pews an the floor. What was the poor man ta do? Those empty benches-particularly in the gallery-haunted him in the night-watches. When he had prayed that the fire might be sent down from heaven he had haped that it might MIî that gallery-or consume it, as had happened in another city church which was re- built with a chancel. How ta fill thase benches was the problem. The people were evidently not interested in bis Gospel for the salvation of their souls and the Life Eternal. He mâY have sametimes wondercd whetber they had any souls ta save, and if they had any real desire for a future if e. They were interested in the salvation of saciety, and tbey wanted the many mansions bere and naw-ar at least in the near future wben a New Order would be establish- cd, perhaps after the next general election. This was the New Gospel, and he would invite them in ta fil those vacant pews and talk about it on Sunday evenings. Perad- venture they might talk themn- selves out of it and into bis church and turn ta the anly True Gospel for the salvation of socicty tbrough the regeneration of its individual members. Whethcr be has had any success in this I do nat know, but judging by the tem- per of last night's congregation, I would say be had not.
