THE suit ll'K UKIGAUK An «plc of wonderful heroism and bravery comi's to us from far Cathay, where one hundred and fifty Chinese Doldiers have for days been holding back vast hordes of Japanese invaders on the outskirt.s of Shanghai, by in- terning themsflvos in two storehousi's «nd defying death. They are styled the 'suicide squad" and by the time these words nach our readers ever.\' man of that gallant little band oi heroes has probably paid the price ot death for hi.s country. Kui then- death has cost the Japanese dearly. Their immolation on the pyre ot li>yalty will rank as high or higher than did the "Charge of the Light Urigade" in the annals of British his- tory, or any other brave deeds in the history of any country. Any <'hinaman should be very proud to know that hi.i fellow-countrymen can prove themselves so worthy of a pro- minent place in the Hall of Fame as did this little handful of defenders on the banks of the Soochow Creek. They voiced their determination to stand fast in words that are likely to become emblazoned in gold be deeply regretted by his many thousand admirers throughout Canada and the world. His name is a house- hold word in this country. Few private libraries in Canada are without at least some of his very human stories, which have, in some cases, reached a million copies. All were very large sellers. Among them were •Black Rock," "Sky Filot," "Glengarry Schooldays," and more than a score of book.s altogether. "Ralph Connor'" will lie missed, but he left a goodly heritage in the literature he gave us. The Hockey Broadcasts "Hello Canada â€" and hockey fans in Newfoundland and the United States!" Once more, on Saturday, November 6, Foster Hewitt's familiar greeting over a chain of stations from Coast to Coast. Fans in Canada â€" and the United States, and even in more dis- tant countries â€" will rally round their radios to hear the opening Imperial Oil Hockey iftoadcast of the game be- tween Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Americans, at the Maple Leaf Gardens. That this program is the world's biggest and most popular weekly sports broadcast, is borne out by a letter received from an enthusiastic woman htx^key fan, formerly of Nova Scotia, but who writes to say she is going to "listen in" from her far-away home in Cristobal, ('anal Zone, where, she claims, reception is crystal clear. I The Imperial Oil Hockey Broadcasts will expand this coming winter, prac- tically "blanketing" every province in Canada with broadcasts of games played either in Toronto or Montreal. Last winter, broadcasting of Mon- with the young people of the village and community and a very enjo/al)le evening was spent. Although tne presentation had been planned i^n some time the epidemic delayed the carrying out of the plans. The monthly meeting of the Ladies' Aid was held at the home of Mrs. G^o. Snell on Wednesday afternoon of last week. In the absence of the prest dent, Mrs. J. W. McMuUen occupied the chair. Mrs. A. C. Muir was ap- pointed secretary to fill the vacancy made by the removal of Mrs Archie Sinclair to DundalK. Mrs. Ad;ims and Mrs. Geo. Cairns each contributed interesting articles. The returns from the sale of Christmas caids was very gratifying. The social com- mittee sei-ved lunch at the close of the meeting. PROTON STATION .

Jackson has gone to W. Indianna, U.S.A., where he will be engaged in Evangelistic services. Mr. Johnson of Emmanuel College, Toronto, has been in charge of the United Church work here for the past two Sundays and will continue to do so alternately with another student. Miss Gertrude Irish is making fav- orable progress in regaining her health, after her recent operation in Owen Sound hospital. Mr. Samuel Shorson is in Orange- ville hospital and is gaining slowly. after an operation. Mrs. Vause is somewhat better, hut still confined to her bed, Miss Pearl Watson is nursing her. Andrew Hemphill visited his par- pnt<< for a few days last week. Mr. and Mrs. R. 0. Arheson spent last week end in Toronto. Short Course Short courses are now available for young women of this district that should be very helpful to everyone who takes advantage of this oppor- tunity. Just when the course will be held is not known at the present, but all young ladie.s who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity are urged to get in touch with Mrs. Ed. Fisher or Mrs. Dargavel at once. Four courses arc offered: Catering to tourists; marketing of fhome-baked foods; simple dressmaking and re- modelling and rug making. Full in formation may be secured from the above ladies. If the dried-out areas in the West could have only part of OntariolJ rainfall the past month, bumper crops would be assured in 1938. A Fenelon Falls man has gone to the Ontario Reformatory for six months on his second conviction for drunken driving. That seems to b«^ the only way to deal with offences of that kind, where appeals to courtesy and common sense are only wa.sted. Flesherton United Church FOWL SUPPER Lecture by Rev. Dr. E.

AN INWlSi; K.M'KNOni UK A campaign has l>een inaugurated Ly interested parties with a view tu having a new paved highway buill _^^round the shores of the Georgian Bay from VViarton to Owen Sound anil from Owen Sound to skirt the shore around by the clay banks and Cape Rich to Meaford, where it would join up with the present highway No. 2(i. This suggestion has been received with a joyful "whoop-e'' by the muni- cipalities through which such a road would pass. But what of the rest ol the county? We inland critics look at it in this way: Instead of expend- ing a million dollars or so for frills in building unnecessary pavement before we are out of the tinuncial quagmire. we would be wi.ser to spend thai money, if it burns our fingers, on im provement." on the many county roads which are in such great need of im provemenl. The farmers along tlie hundred miles of proposed highway within the county all have roads giv- ing them access to market and do not need a pavement. The idea at the base of suth a proposed outlay is to draw tourist tralfic to the towns ly- ing along the route. It would only «erve one half as great a population as a road running through a district with residents on either side. As for the back line residents of the county, they feel that their pockets have Ijeeii "touched" to the limit for road build- ing that docs not benefit them, iin'] their plea is that a halt should be made in unnecessary roail construclio-i 'iiid more attention paid to the neees ary end of the game â€" for game It l.v with eV(!ry interest striving to gaii the upper hand. Let our legislators and advisers stop and think befon subjecting us to any such outlay »> the proposed scheme would impose. CEYLON Dr. and Mr.'i. <;. H.
