THE WAR OF JENKINS' EAR Rarely indeed has a war been named for an individual. The only two in- stances which occur to us is the Hitler War and that knovni as "The War of Jenkins' Ear." Down in the Carribcan Sea, bound- «d by the upper part of South Ameri- ca and the sickle-shaped West Indian Archipelago, in April 1731, a peaceful trader, his vessel filled with IcRitimata products contentedly sailed for the port of London. Robert Jenkins was at peace with the world; he thought of his home and children whom he should see in three months, smoked hi.s pipe and dreamed of future ease of life. But it was not for long. A Spanish privateer bore down on him; the Captain and a cut-throat crew boarded the Rebecca and stripped her. The story is told by a noted Rnglish surgeon in a charming book called "The Grade of the Deep." It is one of the best books ever written about the history of the We.st Indies, and this book avers on the best of evidence that the sanguinarj' British-Spanish War of the second quarter of the 18th Century, had as its determining cause, not an invasion of either Spai.n or Britain, but the episode of Jenkins' ear. Robert Jenkins had been brought up adjacent to Wapping on the Thames and he was not the man lightly to put up with ruthless rob- bery on the high seas. He told the privateer's Captain what he thought about it in forcible language. He was not a diplomat; for his own sake he had better have said less. The result was that he was trussed up agains; the mast of his ship and had one ear slit off. As the rescally leader of pirates bade him bon voyage, and re- commended that Robert Jenkins should take his ear home with him as a souvenir. First aid was rendered by the ship's carpenter. The bleeding was stopped by application of crude turpentine and the stump dressed by a piece of bunting steeped in lamp oil. Captain Jenkins followed the advice of the pirate. He wrapped the ear between two folds of sailcloth and stowed it away in his desk along with his sextant, his Bible and his bottle of rum. In three months he was in London, where his story created a mild excitemant. It was not until seven years later that he was able to get his case and his mutilated ear before a Committee of the House of Commons. Then fol- lowed the Hispanio-British war, which eventually changed â€" probably for all time â€" the ownership of most nf the West Indies. The ruthless bid for power by Hitler may also determine the fate of Germany. This weeks fairy story :There is a small boy in this town who says he doesn't like to get pocket money â€" it is such a worry trying to puzzle out how to spend it. KIMBLRLEY We congratulate the twacher and pupils on their excellent showing at the Hchool fair held at Rocklyn, especially on their "project work."

Censorship Is Here Like every other newspaper and radio station, we have received the censorship regulations which are now effective. Six weeks ago such a list of restrictions would have been con- sidered an encroachment on privil- eges always enjoyed. In the light of present day circumstances, however, they are received in a spirit of hearty co-operation. The task before every- one is apparent. Regulations made with the thought ia mind of complet- ing that task succssfully are readily received. We believe everyone affected by these regulations will receive them in that same spirit. It is quite evident after reading the several pages of these rules that Can- ada has benefitted from the experienc- es of the former Great War. The weekly newspapers dealing in news of a local nature will not be as ser- iously affected by these regulations as those who give news almost ex- clusively of world events. Even from these there is no complaint of the restrictions. War times bring restrictions on every class. War expenditures have to be met and all will share in various ways here, too. Looking over the rules of censorship set forth in the regulations we believe the general public will appreciate, too, the pre- cautions that have been made to stop the circulation of unreliable reports and the attempt to curtail the ne^s to authentic sources. Certainly noth- ing is to be gained by unreliable headlines. United Church MAXWELL CHARGE REV. GEO. L. MERCER, B.D., D.D. Minister Salmon GOLD SEAL 35c RED SEAL - 29c PINK SEAL 17c 0. & A.

WHAT WE CAN AFFORD There are many good things which we can all afford, regardless of our circumstances. We can all afford to gJ*« freely the best that we have, because in giving it we have done it doubly. We can well afford to doubt a seem- ing injustice, because GoiTs law is sure. We can afford to belie that which is good, because only the good is true. We can well afford a seeming sacri- fice for the right, because any other side is a losing side. We can well afford to be cheerful in apparent defeat, for we have not lost irreparably while we still Have the spirit to cheer. â€" Exchange. For a month it appeared as if the Ontario government would find the gasoline tax increase to 8 c«nts a gallon to be a bomerang as they col- lected less revenue than they did last year. However, figures for the past three months show that the province collected over $6,000,000 in gasoline tax, as compared with $4,700,000 last year. This is an increase of 26 per cent., but the gasoline tax was raised by 33 per cent. WATCH REPAIRING PRICES REASONABLf E. I. HoUey Located above Bank of Gomm^m TORONTO St. FLESHERTON Percy Hunt.
