Hon, W. L. M. King Four informative speeches were ui.de by Government, leaders during the month of May, From them we cir the following extracts: Air Training Plan The British commonwealth air Li.-ining plan is not an exclusive Can- "adian undertaking. As the name im- © phes, it is a joint plan in which the four governments, those of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, are all concerned. The plan originated with the British Govern- ment. The preliminary work on the scheme was done by the United King- dom air ministry. Canada cannot alter the plan at her own exclusive discretion, nor_without regard for the essential factors of the adequate train- ing of men to meet the demands of modern acrial warfare, ' It is impossible to make arbitrary changes in the plan without disrupting its efliciency, and without consultation with the other members of the com- monwealth partnership on which it is based. It was estimated at the time the -agreement was reached between the four govérnments that the total cost of the plan for the three years agreed upon would be about six hundred mil- lions, of. which the estimated Cana- dian shiye is three hundred and fifty millions. * Apart from pupils, about forty thousand officers, airmen and civilians will be employed when it is fully de- veloped. Many thousands of pilots, air observers and air gunners will be trained cach year on a progregsively increasing scale. The share of the cost of the scheme to be borne by the government 'of the United Kingdom will take the form of contributions in kind, to be delivered _at such times and in such numbers as may be required for the efficient car- rying out of the scheme. By far the greatest proportion of that cost was assumed by Canada. Great Britain's contribution--because this is a scheme which includes all four countries--did not take the form of money; it took the form I have just mentioned, a contribution in kina to be delivered at such times and in such numbers as may be required for the efficient carrying out of the . scheme. * * * * Hon. Norman Rogers Methods of Recruiting May 1 say that our method of recruiting during the present war dif- fers in a number of material aspects . from the method of recruiting which was followed in the last war.. At that time, units were authorized, and com- manding officers appointed, and these commanding officers were frequently entrusted with the duty of recruiting their units up to strength. Under a system of that kind, in the very na- ture of things recruiting was in a sense competitive, and perhaps had a certain appeal to our people because it was a competitive nature. There are few of us here who cannot. re- member the, recruiting meetings, the marching bands and the recruiting sergeants seeking tmen to enlist in their: units. There is no doubt that . such a method. of recruiting had a "strong popular appeal. At the same 'time I must advise the house that it fs not a method of recruiting that fit- ted into the scheme of mobilization which had been worked out carefully y_ officers of the Department of Na- © tional Defence prior to the outbreak the present war. Number of Canadians on Active Fre! Service First I come to the strength return |' "as of September 6, 1939, If I remem- * ber correctly, this was four days be- fore this government actually de- clared war, and while we were still in what might bs tecinea thé precaution- ary stage of mobilizavon. 'the first division and units mobinzea therewith numbered 6588, and the second divi- sion, 4030, Manning coast defence and anti-air craft defence were 7605, and guarding vulnerable points, 5655; las of "September 6; aetunliy -before- "Canada had formally declared war. 'the total for this precautionary mob- ization at that time was 22,878, I come next to September 24, 1939, two weeks after Canada had formally de- clared war. The first division and units mobilized therewith numbered 20,017, The sccond division totalled 19,176; manning coast defence and anti-aircraft defence, 10,650; guarding vulnerable points, 6,161; miscel- laneous, 813, or a total of 56,817" troops mobilized in Canada and either "on duty or in training two weeks after this country was at war. By Novem- ber 1, 1939, the total in Canada had risen-to- 61,639, Work of Canadian Navy I should like to say that even in England I was made conscious of the splendid service that has been rend- cred by the Royal Canadian Navy since the outbreak of the war. This arm of the service has been more con- 'tinuously engaged in arduous duty from the very beginning than has any , other branch. I need hardly say that 'the work being. done by our navy is absolutely essential to the allied cause. I wonder sometimes if we realize fully what it means to England and what _ it means to us on this side of the At- lantic to have the assurance of that life-line of commerce which has been "made possible by the work of the , Royal Navy and the cooperation of the Royal Canadian Navy. * * * * Wartime Construction I'rojects We now have some 250 separate construction projects under way, in- cluding coastal defences, fortifications, hangars and submarine defences for our harbours and waterways. Outside Mrs. Crews was a nurse in the last war and has signed up for service in the present conflict, ' Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Donnelly of Cobourg, Mrs, Bryant and little son of Audley were in the village on Monday ol last week. Mp. and Mrs, Jay BedZoud, oun-unnd daugmer of Toronto, visited with er- latives on Wednesday of last week. Mrs. W. McCarl, Vernon and Ronald of drooklin, were visitors -on Thurs- any of last week at the home of Mrs. Frank Harrison. Miss Beulah Cooper visited on Wed- nesday of last week with her cousin vorothy Road, of Port Perry. Mis. Roy Spencér, of Perth, visited with her parents from Tuesday until 'thursday of last week. Mrs, Jean Stewart has accepted a situation in Cavan and left on Friday morning to commence her duties, = bir. Jack Smith of Toronto and Miss Ella Smith of Oakville, visited on Fri- day with their sister Miss Elsie Smith. ev. G. S. and Mrs, Gervan were! present with the members of Prospect Women's Association when they were entertained on Wednesday of last week by Mrs. Barber at her summer cottape in Geneva Park. Mrs, George Butson and-Miss Viola, of Greenbank spent Tuesday of last week at their home here. .

His aunt, Mrs, R. Chisholm accompanied him to Windsor on his return. She will also visit in Tilbury, London and Toronto before returning. Very few people know of the fierce battle -fought -between England and Germany on Tuesday of last week, and that it took place in Canada! - To be explicit, .the battle field was here in our village on Mr. Russell Lunney's lawn, and this is the explanation: the three Lunney-children played at war. Patsy and wee Carol represented Eng- land, while Betty Jean was Germany. The battle waged loud and long with the combatants about evenly matched. Finally through some strategy on the part of Germany, England was crush- ed--at least a part of her, one of little Carol's thumbs. The w led had to be carried south of the fighting line to the Red Cross hospital--Drs Baldwin's office--and medical aid rendered. It is believed that as soon as England is able to rise again in her full fighting force that Germany will get a bad trimming: Fortunately there was only the one casualty. Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Hitchins of Agincourt, Miss Alverta Mitchell of Miss June Mitchell and Miss BLACKSTOCK Shortridge-Leighton At the home of her parents on Sat- urday, June 29th, Helen Mae, younger daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Leighton, was married to Mr, Hector Shortridge, son of Mr, Fred Short- ridge, Timmins, Ont., and the late Mrs, Shortridge. The bride was given in marriage by her father, and wore a white sheer gown, embroidered in pastel shades, with floral coronet and carried roses, forget-me-nots and baby's breath. . Her sister, Mrs, F, Bailey and her husband attended the bridal couple, Mrs. Bailey wearing pale mauve and carrying yellow roses, Mrs, Leighton received in biege with corsage of amethyst and bronze iris. Rev, D. M. Stinson, their pastor, officiated, and the marriage ceremony took place on the lawn, which was a veritable beauty spot. The color scheme for the arch and dining room was carried out in pink and white with weddiog bells ami a profusion of garden flowers--peonies, iris and roses. . Jabez Wright, accompanied by Mrs. T. Redman, sang O Promise Me, during the signing of the register, after which 25 guests--neighbors and friends of the family, enjoyed a very sumptuous. repasti« = Mendis Expressions of goodwill and sincere wishes for the happiness of the young couple were expressed in brief speeches by 'Mr. Stinson, Mr. and Mrs, Wright, Mrs. Redmim, Mrs. Martin, Mr. Ted Beadle, Mrs. Hooey, Mr, and Mrs. Bailey,, Mr. Shortridge replied for his bride and himself. The groom's gift to the bride was a white gold wrist watch, to Mrs. Bailey,:a locket and chain, and to Mr. Bailey, a- leather bill fold.
