The rtea- surer, George W.

In fact, the more than 20 columns of names in today's paper, listing about 3,600 names does not bring the work of publication up-to-date but it is hoped to overtake the ar- rears tomorrow, Most of the names are listéd on page two and seven. Actually " over 4,000 names were turned in by the treasurer for ack- nowledgment in The Times. Not only is the total sum sub- scribed to date very gratifying, but the large number of individual ccni- tributors is one of the very pleas- ing features of the campaign. The lists published today, show only a very few lager donations, the great (Continued on Page 12 Col. 1) OPPORTUNITIES UNSELFISH RVIGE MANY Britain's Heroism and Sac- rifice Model for Humanity, Rector Says Hdmanity's new model -of Chris- tian clyilization is being forged in England out of the sacrifice and heroism. of an entire nation, Rev. D. M. Rose, Rector of St. George's Qhurch, told worshippers there Sunday morning. This point was emphasized when the speaker quot- ed a memorable phrase from a re- cent. Empire-wide address of Prime Minister Churchill who said, "We shall draw from the very heart of suffering itself the means of sur- vival and the inspiration for vic- tory." Rev. Mr. Rose's text was from verses 16 and 16 of the Fifth Chap- ter of Ephesians: "See then that ye walk' circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, | because the days are evil." It was pointed: out that a more exact translation of the phrase "Redeem- ing tha time" is portunity." That there are great and fateful opportufiities in these evil days was urged the speaker who declared that our Christian salvation, to which all that is best in civiliza- tion "is due, was formed in days of incomparable suffering and by martyrdom-seeking followers of the Son of - God who went a willing sacrifice to the Cross of Crucifixion. "Blood cannot be the foundation of better times," the Rector of St. George's urged. "The time to Te- build for the future is now. - Sacial justice cannot be deZerred "until peace has been signed. The evil of these days is to be redeemed now. It is for us to grasp the op- portunities of a new unselfishness, a new abandonment of prejudice, new understanding of one another's problems, and an immovable' con- viction - that Christ's principles of conduct are the only right prin- ciples of business and social life." pr [) 7] | Q Events : SPECIAL BINGO OVER BURNS, Good prizes. 15¢."

Mr. Taylor, who was the only one home gt the time, had returned to .the house from watering the stock just as the storm started and was unaware that the barn had been struck until notified by a passer- by. When he reached the building the entire interior of the parn was a mass of flames, but he was able to rescue several calves, and all but large number .of pigs that were in the stable underneath.

The exact cause of the trouble be ascertained by The Times either from Union officlals or Company executives. In a conver- sation with a high official of the Company, The Times was informed that no formal complaint had been made by the men through the usual channels and as a result the Com- pany could throw very little light on the situation. At the moment no other departments are directly af- fected. At noon today the following state- ment from James Napier of Wind- sor, International Representative of the U.AW.A,, who is in Oshawa to- day, was brought to The Times office: "Nearly 100° workers in the body plant of General Motors walk- ed out Friday noon when they were unable to obtain settlement of a condition which has resulted in a reduction of wages.
