A beautiful sunshiny winter morn, after the terrible blowup of last week. We cannot help but feel that "God's in His heaven."

Our Farm Radio Forum meeting was postponed last week, owing to inclement weather, but is being held this Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Fenwick.

A number from here attended i very enjoyable crokinole party at th Roberts home on the 10th Line i Friday last. All went merry as a marriage-bell for everybody, even though some of the 'boys and girle, too, had to walk. As we write this morning, our thoughts wander to Ottawa and we cannot but wonder which of the var- ious methods suggested will be adopted to subdue the prevailing unrest. We wonder, too, is every member conscientuou* to the last degree in doing his hit to win the war, or is the old party e-pirit still the predominant factor? What do you think, and you and you? Let us stand shoulder to shoulder as one huge giant, until victory is ours and until we can enjoy "democracy" in its fullest sense. CEYLON Ceylon public school is observing Daylight Saving Time.

Think of the high courage, the indomitable will of those pioneer women. Within the stockade or in the open field, they toiled yes, fought by the side of their men for the safeguarding of everything they held dear. In the hearts of the women of Canada, this old spirit flames anew today! Gone are the heavy muskets, the log barricades but the love of freedom, the stubborn resolve to win through at all costs these things remain unchanged, unchangeable ! Grimly quenching their tears, mothers say " bless you" to their fighting sons everywhere young women are serving where duty calls the women of Canada are bound together in one common cause. In thousands of Canadian homes, women are revising their family budgets, planning new economies, mak- ing extra sacrifices so that more and more money will be available for the purchase of Victory Bonds. They know these women of Canada that every dollar loaned now means more tanks more guns- more planes more ships more of everything which is needed to smash HiUerism and bring Peace to all the family hearths of the world.
