SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINETEEN Mrs. Saywell Guest Speaker C.G.LT. Dinner MRS. KENNETH FLETCHER "Correspondent Harmony, May 21-- Challenging her young listeners to 'Grow the way God, would have you grow-- practice thinking of God", Mrs. S. Saywell addressed a gathering of over 50 persons in Harmony School last evening. The occasion was the first annual: Mother and Daughter Banquet staged by the C.G.I.T. un- der the leadership of Mrs, J. W. Melley. Tables set up in the auditorium were pleasing to the eye, the color scheme being white, with deep blue streamers to add a contrast. White tapers in silver holders and vari- colored tulips added to the color and charm, ag well as individual place cards, each card having a "flower" made of shells, for decoration. This shell work, done by the girls them- selves, is included in their weekly activities. | Seated at the head table were the leaders and president of the C.G. IT, and Explorers, their mothers, representatives from the Willing workers, press and guest speakers The festivities began with the singing of the Doxology. The presi- dent of the C.G.I.T., in her capa- city as chairman welcomed the mothers and guests and after the delicious meal was over, a short sing-song preceded the following very enjoyable program: A song, "John Peel" by C.G.IT., a demon- stration of bandaging; a solo, "Beg Your Pardon" by Marilyn Jackson; solo in costume "Alice Blue Gown" by Betty Hoskin; a quartette, "Now is the Hour" June Thompson, Syl- via Johnson, Anna-Marie Hoskin and Shirley Ferris, pianist was Miss Betty Stewart, teacher of Grades III and IV and a leader for some time. Greetings and best - wishes were brought to the group by Miss Jean Battle, who sald it was like coming home to come back to Harmony af- ter a lapse in activities since C.G. IT. was first organized several years ago. Miss Battle said she was glad to see the interest shown as proved by the presence of so many mothers. On behalf of the leaders of the council, best of wishes and good luck in their work was sent to them, Help and advice would be forthcoming any time the leaders applied to the gouncil for it. Miss Battle said she was glad of the splendid support given the or- ganization by the Willing Workers. She also bespoke for wholehearted support of the musicale to be given at King St. Church June 7th, pro- ceeds of which go to help with the upkeep of Camp Pretoria. \ "I hope all of you will be able to attend camp this summer. The im- pressions made by such an experi- ence are priceless and enduring", | concluded Miss Battle. | Leaders and various representa- | tives were asked tp stand and take | a bow, after which Leone Thomp- son announced the following camp dates, urging all girls present to at- tend. "There is nothing finer than | camp life", explained Leone to her | listeners. "I spent two months that way last summer and it js just won. | derful, | Girls 15 and over July 3-12, 10 days; girls 13 and 14 July 14-23, 10 day; girls 11 and 12 July 24-31, 7 | daycamp; girls 8, 9, and 10 Aug. | 3-10, 7 day camp. (Explorers) also a week-end for Leaders and .anyone interested in this type of work, the second week- end in September. Leone concluded by saying she hoped she would see all the girls at camp. Mrs, Saywell told the girls she was proud and happy to be present and to see such keen interest shown. It was splendid to go into g group and see everyone interested, to see uniforms well worn and taken care of, See that it is always in the best of condition and be proud of it and the thing for which it stands. Mrs. Saywell illustrated her talk by the use of several stories, which left no doubt in anyone's mind as to her meaning. Too many moth- ers spend. too much time scrub- bing floors and other similar duties. While it is necessary to keep homes clean, don't put that first, and the children second. Take time to know your children. Today girls and mothers have to meet many demands. Your mother knows all you know, and quite a bit more, She is your best friend. There are no mothers anywhere that haven't time for their own girls. God wants Christian leaders. Grow the way he would have you grow. Practice thinking about him. The purpose of your group is to make you the kind of girl he would have you be. God asks for the gifts you have; time, thought, and en- ergy. Let's be fair with him, and give our best. Some day you will become leaders in this or some other community. As a C.G.IT. un- der the leadership of Jesus, with God's help, try to be the girl He wants you to be. At the conclusion of Mrs. Say- wells inspiring talk, a vote of thanks wags tendered the mothers for their splendid co-operation by Mrs. Melley, who expressed her ide in the group and her pleasure working with them. After a short skit by Shirley Fer- ris and Anna-Marie Hoskin, "Taps" wag sald and a very enjoyable and memorable evening came to a close. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT "MORTALS AND IMMORTALS" was the subject of the Lesson Ser- mon which was read in all churches of Christ, Scintists, throughout the world, including First Church of Christ, Scientist, 64 Colborne Street East, on Sunday, May 16. The | Golden Text was: "As we have | borne the image of the earthy we | shall also bear the image of the heavenly." (I Corinthians 15:49). | Selections from the Bible included the following from I Peter 1:34: | "Blessed be the God and Father | of our Lord Jesus Christ, which! according to his abundant mesey THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW JUST 1S NOIRE READY TO COLLAPSE FROM CATCHING THAT we ® 4 522 GIMMICK Jou usuaLLY \ RIGHT IN BACK OF THE FIND NOU HAVE | ENGINE ANOTHER HALF MILE 10 GO. -- MRS.

Princess, Philip Upheld By Archdeacon, Papers On Paris Sunday Issue London, May 22 -- (AP) -- An- other Scottish church group re- buked Princess Elizabeth today for frolicking on Sunday in Paris. The heiress apparent received support, however, from the Archdeacon of Lewes, Lord Beaverbrook's Evening Standard and the London Star. The General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland started the ruckus Wednesday by sending Prime Minister Attlee a resolution saying Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip set a bad example by 'going to the races and a night club in Paris on Sunday. The Scottish Free Presbyterian Synod of Inverness joined the pro- test today. Without explanation, the Prin- cess was snubb day by e Trades Union Cou..cll in Coveniry. | The council decided 'to boycott her | visit there tomorrow to dedicate a public square. The council's execu- tive committee previously. planned to present representatives to the Princess. The Free Presbyterians said they were "profoundly grieved" by the royal couple's Sunday activities, The Archdeacon of Lewes, the venerable J. H. L. Morrell, decried the criitcism. Speaking at Hastings last night, the Archdeacon said: "Two well-loved members of our royal house, after faithfully doing their duty by attending divine serv- ice, for the second part of the day enjoyed themselves naturally and normally as people in that counrty (France) normally behave, and then there is an outburst by the Sab- satarian people in Scotland. That is bosh. It is an example of the muddleheaded thinking which {hand was developed and used by is | the Romans as far back as 63 B.C. becoming common among us." The Evening Standard said crit- ics of the Princess are stiff-necked and unable to "look down into the fathomless. abyss of their own folly." The newspaper said the Gen- eral Assembly's resolution lacked good taste and insulted the French people and government who "out- did themselves in effort, courtesy and every mark of genuine respect and affection." The Standard said the great majority of Britons ap- prove the Sunday program of Prin- cess Elizabeth and her consori. The London Star called the criti- cism "intolerant." . "Most British people, we think, will regret" the church assembly's action, the Star said.

Low, M.P. National President Social Credit Association of Canada and John J. Fitzgerald - President, a > \ Social Credit League of Ontario SOLON E. LOW, M.P. JOHN J. FITZGERALD Owing to the fact that the Social Credit League of Ontario had no organization in Oshawa or Ontario Con- stituency, it had been decided not to propose the nomination of a Social Credit Candidate in the foderal by-election. The budget announcements just made by the Minister of Finance are so completely in conflict with the will .of the electors that it hos been decided to submit to the voters of Ontario Constituency a proposal to nominate a Social Credit candidate. It is believed that the election of such a candidate SOCIAL CREDIT LEAGUE OF ONTARIO May 19, 1948. would constitute a startling revelation to each and every member of Parliament that the electors are not satisfied with the results now being achieved by the majority of the members of the House of Commons. It would indicate exactly what results are wanted, The nine-point program of the Social Credit League of Ontario was outlined in The Times-Gazette yesterday. Today, as promised, we submit the following letter which has been addressed to all members of the House of Commons: [1 at® Sadi EANTEEREYEY FE EEE EVI LREETTERYY FER TESTER RENE SVETY ER PARTITE EET TYR CEE NCTE FEET MEER EEE } To Members of the House of Commons, OTTAWA, Ont. Dear Mrs. Strum and Sirs: You will perhaps recall that on the evening of March 4, during the present session, F. D. Shaw, M.P. for Red Deer, Alberta, moved an amendment to the amendment of Mr. Bracken to the motion for an address to His Excel- lency, the Governor-General, in reply to his speech at the opening of the session. Mr. Shaw's amendment was as follows: "That all the words after the word 'adviser' be struck out, and that the following be substituted therefor: "Should have given assurance to this house that lezislation vould be submitted during the present session, - whereby the following results would be achieved, as a contribution towards meeting the crisis in living costs, and towards stabilizing the Canadian economy: (a) Exemption from income tax on incomes of married persons of $2,400 and less, and of single persons of $1,500; these to be progressively increased to $3,600 and $2,000 as production increases in relation to demand. (b) Elimination of the sales tax, and.substantial reduction in excise, processing and all other hidden and nuisance taxes, : (¢c) Substantial increases in family allowances; increases in old age pensions, together with elimination of the means test and a reduction in the pensionable age. (d) Adequate provision for all disabled adults, (e) Selective subsidies, especially on food products and necessities of living. His concluding words were as follows: : "The electors of Canada are asking for these results contained in our subamendment. I believe Hon. members recognize that they are desirable. Therefore Hon. members should not permit themselves to be placed in a position where they declare themselves as oppcsed to the results for which their electors are clamouring. : "Acceptance by the house of this amendment should not be interpreted as a triumph for the Social Credit group. Rather should it be looked upon as a victory for the principle that the vote of each member should reflect the will of his electors. . "Especially should this be the case since the results outlined are entirely possible. They all may be achieved through the application of social credit principles. But I would emphasize this fact that if any other member can find or propose a better method of achieving them let him submit it to the house. "No matter what the method, the fact remains that Canada's resources in men and-materials are adequate to produce these' results. Since they are physically possible and desirable, they can be made financially possible." He was followed and supported by the Hon. membe2r for Wetaskiwin, Mr, Norman Jaques, and the latter was followed 'in the debate by the Hon. member for Laval-Two Mountains, Mr. Liguori Lacombe, who adjourned the debate at eleven o'clock. Up to that time there was no challenge as to whether the Hon. member for Red Deer was in order. The following day Mr, Speaker ruled the subamendment out of order on the claim that there was nothing on the face of it to show that the proposed subamendment was intended to amend the amendment since it dealt with an entirely different matter. Mr. Low challenged the ruling and it was sustained by a vote of 89 to 107. That same afternoon after the amendment of the Hon. Leader of the Opposition had been defeated the Hon. member for Red Deer again made a motion in the same terms as his previous subamendment but this time as an addition to the motion of the Hon. member for Lake St. Jean-Roberval, Mr. Joseph A, Dion. - j He was followed by the Hon. member for Rosetown-Biggar, leader of the C. C.F. who declared that as an alternative to their suggestions, which the house had not approved, they would support the amendment. Up to that time there was no challenge as to whether the amendment was in order. After recess the house first took up private kills and later the debate on the address in reply to His Excellency's speech was resumed. Immediately Mr. Speaker ruled the amendment out of order but for a different reason namely that it was an encroachment on the Governor General's prerogative to recommend expenditures. That ruling struck consternation at many Hon. members. Some tried to find a way to discuss the ruling but Mr. Speaker was firm in enforcing the rules of the House. Mr. Low again challenged the ruling. It was sustained by a vote of 74 to 108. Even after the vote on the ruling the Hon, member for Muskoka-Ontario, Mr. J. M. MacDonnell, although he voted to sustain the ruling, was constrained t> comment as follows: "Mr. Speaker, on a question of privilege, may I say with great deference that I hope you will find some way, if the rules do not permit it now, to alter the rules so that this lamentable situation whereby there is no means to discuss your ruling before it is given may be changed. At the present time we are in the position where judgment is given before counsel may make an argument, I trust that you will give that consideration, Mr. Speaker, because th: danger is that your great office will be dragged down if it is not done." Now, we have been assured that in the budget debate these results, "which the electors of Canada are asking for'/ sa brilliantly presented by Mr. Shaw will again be submitted. The object of this letter is to ask each member to consider the wili of the electors and to find a means to give effect to these results. Above all we insist that a majority of the House of Commons CAN give effect to these results. THERE IS A WAY and the subterfuge of what is permitted by House rules is no real obstacle. Due to the earnest efforts put forward in an appeal to each member and to no party, by the Social Credit League of Ontario to promote realization of its nine-point program, which Mr. Shaw's amendment embraced, I believe it timely to submit all this for your earnest consideration and sure action. With every good wish, God bless you. § ~ i $4 i FEIT RL TENET SA A TRE IT RARE 34 JOHN J. FITZGERALD, President, Social Credit League of Ontario. week, probably Thursday.
