ASE. INE AAT 9 0A. 1 AT) THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1940 PAGE FIFTEEN BA VEN WAR GUESTS WERE ENTERTAINED AT ROTARY DINNER 'Eleven Children From Overseas Presented With Pictures and Candy "Christmas marks a great trans- formation in world history and mot withstanding that old saying 'there is nothing new under the sun', the event at Bethlehem marked the be- ginning of many new things," Rev George Telford, minister of St. An- drew's Church, said in the course of his Christmas message at the lun- cheon of the Rotary Club on Mon- day at the Genosha Hotel. War Guests Entertained Guests at the luncheon meeting were ten of the eleven boys and girls who came to Canada from Scotland and England and are being cared for during the war by Osh- awa people. Their names and the names their hosts appeared in yes- terday's Times, together with a pic- ture of the six boys and five girls, One cther war guest was present, Peter Wells, of Lonaon, Eng., who is the guest of a relative in Whitby. Other guests included Chagles Mar- shall, C. Stevens, Mrs. Frank Wells and Verne Rowe. The young war guests were intro- duced by. rotarian J. Norval Willson, and the other guests were intro- duced by rotarian D. Valleau. Mayor J. C. Anderson, K.C., intro- duced by president Maurice Hart, in a short address compli. mentted the Rotary Club on enter- taining the boys and girls from overseas and told the young people that they were very welcome in Oshawa. He asked the children to extend greetings from Oshawa when they were writing home and that it was the wish and prayer of the people here that they would be kept safe and sound The president of the ejub said he deemed it a pleasure and a privilege to have the war guests at the meet- ing and pointed out that any rotar- jan would be glad to do what they could for anyone of them at any time. Great Event in History Rotarian Rev. George Telford, who was introduced by rotarian A. G. Storie, presented a short but thought-proving Christmas message in which he pointed out that Caesar two thousand years ago from his gilded palace set at Palestine mov ing and during that great movement one of the greatest events in history took place--the birth of our Saviour. His followers throughout the world now number into the millions and the ideal, a new force which calls for the exemplification of that Christmas spirit is seen here today, the speaker pointed out. Spirit Still Lives "Hitler thinks he has introduced a new thing into the world, but itis very old. You and I say we belong to the democratic races and range ourselves on the side of love and when the war is over and we have a chance we will introduce the love and sympathetic understanding which was born in that little town of Bethelehm. A new idea of lib- erty, of valuing men as men takes its rise from the manger. And we may take it that that idea will never be lost no matter how great the terror and the punishment. The | richest and most enduring thing we know started its growth at Beth- lehem long ago and that Spirit still lives," Rev. Mr. Telford sald. In voicing his thanks to the speaker for the address president Maurice Hart warned the rotarians that starting the new year "this club would start helping the people who are maintaining our liberties for us." Rotarian L. Richer on behalf of the club presented mounted pictures to each one of the boys and girls who are war guests in Oshawa and accompanying the pictures were the wishes of the club. The guests were also recipients of boxes of candy. Thanks Rotarians George Scott Rennie, one of the guests from Scotland, on behalf of the children from overseas, address- ing himself to mayor Anderson and president Maurice said: "On behalf of my friends, the war guests, I wish to sincerely thank you and all the rotarians for their great kind- ness to us in sending our pictures to England and Scotland and also for having us enjoy this grand lunch with you today. Our parents will be most happy to know that we are surrounded by good friends. As sure as there is a good kind Father above us all "There'll always be an Eng- land," and when this war is won we shall return to our homes with gratitude and thankfulness to you and all our Canadian friends." The boy choristers of St. George's Church, under the direction of Matt. Gouldburn, organist and choir lead- er of the church, presented a num- ber of delightful Christmas carols some of which the rotarians joined in singing. May the season of goodwill herald abounding happiness for you and yours.

Formal priorities on steel will come about more gradually, as the occa- sion demands, but In all prohabil- ity will first be applied to British orders, which even now are being rushed by request. "Some steel companies which have not hitherto supplied much steel to Britain have been asked to take larger quantities" The survey added that produc- tion of airplanes, ships, military tanks and other ordnance material would be greatly expanded if the president's "lend-lease" plan of aid for Britain is adopted.
