the georgetown herald wednesday evening june 18th 1941 timely topics for women by barbara baines 2 cups canned tomatoes 1 pound minced steak 2 onions 1 cup bread crumbs i tablespoon butter salt and other seasoning the battle of the factories in a recent broadcast lord beaverbrook made an appeal which could 9 not fail to arouse the determination of all of us to make the great hssl contribution within our power to driving back and ultimately defeating the menacing hordes of hitler h s over here we must expect before long to fight for our liberty and our lives when that day comes there must necessarily be a vast interruption in our capacity to manufacture weapons for our own defense we look to canada to help nil the breach we want all that your industry can provide for our battle line all thevstrength you can supply us will not be too much for our needs we in canada have perhaps been accustomed to think of cana dian industry as being on a small scale when compared with that of bri tain or the united states but in the matter of armaments we need have no inferiority complex we have the largest plant in the world producing machine guns we have the largest plantain the englishspeaking coun tries producing held artillery and also the largest producing smalt arms ammunition we have 19 chemical and explosive plants either operating or about to start production some of which are among the largest found anywhere we are turning oht bren guns trench mortars antiaircraft guns and many highly intricate pieces of equipment we have produced our first 600 pound aerial bombs our first 25pounder artillery guns our first infantry tanks our first optical glass and first secret radio devices and many new plants will come into full production this summer we are manufacturing submarine nets and mineaweeping gear we have already delivered 120 000 motor vehicles many of which have already seen action in the middle bast we are building about 200 planes a month and hove launched 59 corvettes and 24 minesweepers a cargo veaseiyprogramine is under way in most cases it is a recognized fact that canadian war industries have attained a high standard of perfection the gigantic new 3500 000 fuse oiling plant now neartng comple tion in the toronto district will soon be a telling factor in the defense of the empire it is the first time this complicated and difficult enter prise has ever been attempted in canada the plant sprawls over several hundred acres and is considered one of the most modern in existence it will be completely airconditioned and will have a large restaurant for the employees and a laundry to handle the cleaning of uniforms worn by the operators in addition it will have its own doctor and nurse and a post office and bank within the grounds i had the pleasure this week of interviewing the chief of personnel the young woman responsible for choosing the 3500 girls and women who will be employed there when the plant reaches full production she said the aim of the company which is owned by the federal government and managed by general engineering oo canada ltd was to provide fair wages the best working conditions possible and competent supervision ef the health safety and general welfare of the girls select workers were sent to britain some months ago to study the intricate process of fuse filling and for some time now have been instruct tog others for key positions in the industry the women operators will work in large rooms that are spotlessly clean they will wear smart twopiece uniforms of heavy cream cotton wth coloured belts to designate to which part of the plant they belong because they will be working with explosives all matches pipes clgaret tes metals such as zippers or jewellery silk or rayon clothing gum up ttcke etc must be left outside the barrier when they enter the clean part of the plant there are showers and other modern conveniences in the change rooms despite the nature of the materials handled fuse filling is consider ed a safer industry than many others because of the special safety de vices and safety measures used during the past year there has been greater activity in canadian factories than ever before in our history a gigantic a industry has grown up over 400000000 has been spent by the government in bunding and equipping new plants and total war orders already exceed 1700000 000 the battle of the factories is on t t t t the 1941 censls the census man will be ringing your aoor bell one of these days 0 if he has not already done so it seems rather unfortunate that the census should follow so closely on the heels of the national registration required to round up aliens and obtain information of value in the prosecution of the war yet if the census for 1941 were omitted no figures would be available for comparative studies over the decades some of the questions asked may seem to you to be trivial foolish or your own private business but if the census is to fulfil the purpose for which it is intended the helpful cooperation of all is needed and you may rely on the census taker to spill no secrets some rather strange facts came to light when the national regis tratton was taken there are 7362 000 canadians over 16 years of age and about 100 000 more men than women there are 86 000 people who can t speak either french or english and over j 000 000 people who can speak both langu ages some women wouldn t tell their age in fact 3870 of them but then 1so0 men wouldn t either the figures showed that 14 600 women are employers while 53300 are working for themselves and about half a million of them have never worked i guess sweeping dusting and washing dishes doesn t count as work some 994500 women can milk a cow but only 247 000 men while 16500 women can drive a tractor ten women were listed as aviators strange as it may seem 2275 000 women reported themselves as married but only 2247000 men no doubt when the census is finished other strange facts will be tabulated let me remind you where much is given much shall be required there are never privileges to enjoy without corresponding duties in return phllipa brooks book review they

sunday june kb 1941 golden text but we believe that through tlie grace of the lord jesus christ we shall be saved even as they acts 16 11 lesson passage acts is 6 21 are ye able said the master to be crucified with me yea the sturdy dreamers answered to the death we follow thee earl marlatt peter speaking 6 11 how peter had grown henry drum mond said that in studying the gos pels we can see the disciples lncreas lng their spiritual size through the companionship of christ this is especially true of peter he was a blunderer in speech at first then we find him preaching his great sermon at pentecost interpreting his vision at joppa and here we see him talking like a statesman at the jerusalem confer ence peter told his own experience in preaching to the gentiles they too received the holy spirit and lived ip its power they had found that christ gave them new life and it did not come through the levitlcal law it came through the presence of christ in the heart there could not be one rule for the jews and another for the gen tiles peter uttered a great truth when he said but we believe that through the grace of the lord jesus christ we shall be saved even as they just sit down and attempt to answer in honesty the question what do i think ot christ and you will find yourself in the storm centre of the world it is impossible to draw near to that character and authority without being moved to such emotion that you will either fight him tooth and nail as the rulers of some coun tries do today or else go his way in unconditional surrender for the rest of your life barnabas and paul speaking 12 what a story barnabas and paul had to tell they could begin at antioch in syria where the followers of christ were first called christians they could tell of sergius paulus the oeputy who believed at salamls they could tell of the convert s won in an tioch in pisidia doubtless they would mention people by name declaring what miracles and wonders god had wrought among the gentiles by them is it exaggeration to speak of a con vert and a wonder saed sinners are living miracles a miracle is some thing at which we wonder and the wonder does not cease when we see vicious people become gentle debased people become refined anti social peo pie become unselfish servants of oth ers barnabas and paul had been far jier afield than peter but they had the same story to tell of redeeming grace tnrough telling of christ this mincle working power in personality is central in the christian message christian worship and education are uplifting but there can be crisis and deision so that character is altered desires purified and new habits form ed then religion ceases to be specu latlo i and a christian can witness i am sure that christ is alive la avail able is able to redeem james speaking 13 18 james the lord s brother had not been in the company of the disciples during the earthly ministry of jet us but here we find him the leader of the christian fellowship in jerusalem he did not talk out of experience in the same way as peter and paul james had staed in jerusalem and perhaps had the headquarters mind he tjrned to old testament scripture for authority for receiving the gentiles he agreed with peter and paul but rather hesitatingly as though a con cession were being made yet james was innlnct a notable victory over himself and his past he had been trained in the synagogue and he was living under the shadow of the temple all at once to become an evangelical and believe that convictions in the mind and affections of the heart were mart important than correct forms of ritual was a great advance for james to make all at once it meant a break with tradition giving up national ideas of religion and getting the vision of a universal gospel the final decision 19 21 in a few words the jerusalem coun dl stated its decree to us it seems the only reasonable decision but it was epoch making at the time it meant that jewish christians did no require converts to come into the christian church through judaism it was virtually a renunciation of jewish exclusveness and a declaration of racial equality this was a notable admission on the part of the jewish christians and the gentiles welcom ed it as a gracious concession paul and all other apostolic missionaries found this decision of great help to them in their work the principle in volved has modem applications the relations of the people of one race to the religious practices of the church of another race is a vital question the problem has been acute in japan in recent months demorratc discussion an english religious leader once said whoever is afraid to submit any question elvq or religious to the- test of free discussion is more in love with his own opiniom than with the truth when the jerusalem council met there were many shades of opln ion but after thorough discussion there was unity of opinion and a practical plan of action to get the most from discussion we must learn to state our own opj falrlyand he wlllldglo listen to those with whom we dls agree quite often we learn more from our opponents than from our supporters because of war there are sharp cleavages of opinion between races and nations but the day will come when conferences will have to be held to rebuild the world chris tendom must keep clear the vision of christ upon the judgment seat above all
