Rolph attended the Mc- Clary Fumnace convention at Lon- dan last week. They were royaily entertained by the MeClary peo- pie, banqueted and given a thea- tre party. MASONIC LADIES' NIGHT ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD Orano tawn hall, beautifully decomated in a calaur scheme of navy, turquaise and white, was the scene of a happy event Mon- day evening when Orana Masans entertained their ladies and fmiends. Russ Creîghtan and his Svariety entertainers pmesented the tpmogmam. J. C. Tamblyn extend- ed womds of welcome and appre- ciation. Pmetty dark-haired Ruth Gib- bard delighted the audience with tap dances; camedian Emnie Bruce kept the audience laughing with bazpipes -selections, intermingled with jokes and a saxaphone solo- not ta mention a rather embarras- sing proposai. George Grant, juggler, kept the audience guessing as he show- ed his remamkable ability in bal- ancing and swinging. Farmer Jimmy Dunn amused the, audi- ence with imitations of steam caliape, a crying baby, a guitar, Kate Smith at five years of age, etc. Russ Harris delighted the audieftce with his trumpet solo and also played an enjoyable duet with Emnie Bruce. Horace Duck- warth favored with a saxaphone solo, and was fallowed by Ruth GiV bard in acrabatic stunts which amazed the crawd., Emnie Bruce received a big hand when he came back on the stage ta display J#s versatiiity by playing a whistle and xylophone, as well as making music on the saw. George Shaw learned ta play 'the xylophone in one lessan and no doubt will copy his tea- cher and go on the stage soon. George Grant made rag pic- tures, which were very lovely, while the orchestra played "Down by- eOdMi tem n otes ag sh aetepc tuel peetdb h ag Jimluniittdaias chcesis os oss t. an. latan otadfr whst sa elastmetpso auoh.s Rus Gbadtp acdaan wae maeminbesus."e oceo Duckwofthe saxphe, Rss ak-b andrE.

A. social evening Friday was a decided success, the Sundzy School room being so crowded that many had to stand. Proceeds $52.65. Mrs. Everett Brown delighted the audience with piano solos un- til the program started. Follow- ing a few words of welcome by Rev. Littlewood, the girl guides put on a demonstration of a pow wow, which included a drill, three songs (two of which were Indian) and Taps. The next item was a song by six girls appropriately dressed as milkmaids - Barbara Ann Rolph, Connie Mitchell, Bev- erley Payne, Marguerite Ruther- ford, Reta McKenna and Kay Gamsby. Miss Edith Trull accom- panied them on the piano. First appearance of Jr. Room Rhythm Band was greatly appre- ciated and their two selections under band leader Lorna Clarke and with Miss Marjorie McDow- ell at the piano were much en- joyed. R. E. Logan favored with two splendid vocal solos, Mrs. R. H. Brown with a piano solo, and Beverley Payne with a song as a Chinese girls with Reta McKenna, Shirley Flintoff and Kay Gamsby singing as "Melican" girls being copied by the little Chinee. An amusing Quiz Contest was conducted by M. H. Staples, as- sisted by Rev. Littlewood. Roy Forrester, Ruth Goode, E. J. Hamm and Garry Hancock were the four contestants and all had to take the consequences. The consequences were as amusing as the contest itself. For instance, Ern Hamm had to eat three sand- wiches, each of which were under a hat and then put them all un- der one hat. The latter, he said. was impossible (not the former> and could not be done. Mr. Sta- ples showed him it could be by putting the hat on Ern's head. The last item was a play "A Ghostly Evening," which was well presented and highly enjoyed. Mrs. Payne as the shrewish Mrs. Thomas Morrow, who was determined to keep her maid home that night so as to make a good impression on her daugh- ter's boy friend ànd his mother was excellent. Her daughter Theodora, who has a bright idea of dressing her friend as a ghost to keep the maid in and whose idea re-acts by showing what a coward her "brave" boy friend really is, was charmingly taken by Martorie McDowell. Mrs. Lawrence Lunn was a scream (confidentially she stole the show) as the coloured maid Azalien, a jitter bug, who was kept from going to take part in the contest only through fear of the ghost, but managed to get there later. We hope she won the prize with her boy friend Florian de Sylvester whose part was tak- en by Glen Hancock. The friend Joan Simms, who acts the ghost, was taken by Gwen Tennant, while her brother Rush, who also plays ghost to show his girl Theodora that Ken- yon is just a coward after all, was taken by Donald Staples. Mrs. Littlewood made a charm- ing society matron, Mrs. Anastasia Penfold, who relies on her "big brave" son for protection but soon finds that when ghosts come along she has to protect him. The- part of the brave(?) Ken- yon Penfold, who faints at the sight of the ghost and then gets away as fast as possible, was tak- en by Roy*Forrester. Lunch followed the play which is worthy of being presented again. Brown's Brown's Red Cross held a quilt- ing at Mrs. Walter Farrow's. The committee gave 60 handkerchiefs to Newcastle Red Cross toward the handkerchief drive. Next meeting at Mrs. Wellington Far- row's on April 1st. Mr. and Mrs. H. Reichrath, Mr. and Mrs. T.

The presentation was made by Mr. James Nixon and the ad- dress read by Mrs. Harry Bailey.

NBWS. - 1 THE DANGERS OF INFLATION (Continued from page 5) methods of doing business and those sincere theorists who be- lieve they have the divine right to regulate and determine the economic life of every man and woman - where he will work, what he must produce and what he will receive for his effort. Great masses of humanity in other lands have given up their political freedom for social sec- urity and social welfare and have thought they were well worth the price. What are the thoughts of the men and women tvorking in our war industries? Patriotic en- deavours to do their very best! Yes, but also in their minds the haunting question of what will happen when the war ends. Do you not think each one of them is asking himself the questions- What work can I then obtain? Will there be mass unemploy- ment? Will there be the ill health and misery that follow malnu- trition, let alone actual starva- tion? These two questions alone are sufficient spur to hard think- ing in every moment we can spare from our actual war effort. After War Challenge I suggest that whether we re- tain our economic freedom and eventually our political freedom depends, to a large extent, upon our ability to provide employ- ment to the great majority of our citizens. With peace, economic democracy will face, once again, a great challenge. If the chal- lenge be not met successfully, we shall have state capitalism or state socialism, after which we will become totalitarian or subject to despotism, - suchI was the experience of the great Roman Empire. We can learn much of what not to do from a study of the history of Rome. We understand our political de- mocracy - freedom of speech, of assembly and of conscience and equality of each before the law, but we do not realize that this political freedom supports an- other and perhaps a greater free- dom - that of enterprise. Freedom of enterprise is the opposite of regimentation. It is the right of each one of us, sub- ject to the rights of others, to choose his own occupation, to de- vote to it much labour of mind and body as he sees fit, to en- gage in *ch enterprises as seem attractive and to incur such hazards in doing so as he wishes and to reap the rewards and suf- fer the consequences of his choice. The challenge we face of los- ing these rights is not new. It existed in ancient Rome for sev- eral hundred years. To describe how the Romans lost, little by little, their economie freedom and finally their political freedom is beyond the scope of my subject tonight. If you are curious, an interesting description of how Government in the ancient world tried to deal with quite modern present-day problems can be found in the book entitled "The New Deal in Old Rome" by 14. J. Haskell. You would learn there of the ceiling placed upon prices and wages by the Emperor Dio- cletian about 200 A.D. Temporary Supervision It is curious how history re- peats itself and it serves as a spur to our determination to resist the Nazi to note the apathy with which the barbarian was welcom- ed in Rome in her declining years. The individual citizen of Rome had little to lose. His view was that perhaps the new economic order proclaimed by the bar- barian might be an improvement on his own. He was willing to try anything but resist nothing. How typical of France a year or so ago! What can free enterprise do to prevent the growth of that des- pair, which claims that free en- terprise has failed but at the same time reminds us that the Government gave us full em- ployment when we were at war, which cries "Let the Government do so now, in days of peace. Let it take over business, nationalize it; let us throw our liberties, if necessary, into the Government's lap along with our problems."? Provided thought ià given to the problem and provided a will- ingness to accept a certain degree of order, the private enterprises of free men can do much more and do it better in providing health and happiness and securi- ty to our people than can Gov- ernment agencies with their bur- eaucratic tendencies. May I interject an explanation of my idea of acceptance of supervision. Most of you own life insurance; you and your fellow citizens. are willing to entrust to the life companies more and more of your savings. I venture the opinion that you do so because you have confidence in the com- panies and this confidence is born of the strict supervision to which the companies are subject. How complete this supervision is, you may not realize. Nevertheless, the companies and their officers have great and wide discretiopxary SORE BACK? It may be your kidneys. Gin Pis, the. widely known, reliable kidney remedy, help bring relief by eliminating pain. causing toxic wastes. Money back if flot satisfied. powers in the administration of the business. A similar combina- tion of free enterprise and super- vision which is not paternal, would emphasize the trusteeship of all admirgistration of business rather than the glorification of the purely selfish instinct to seek immense monetary rewards of successful enterprise. Self Discipline The control should be indirect and merely one of supervision. It should take the form of en- couragement of free enterprise to give enlarged civilian production, to increase business and purchas- ing power, to provide wider and more efficient distribution of goods and services produced and thus provide full employment to the nation's employables. The time is at hand for free enterprises to show initiative and foresight, trusteeship and social responsibility, self-discipline and cooperation to the end that we may have, of our voluntary ef- fort, long-term planning on a scale never visioned before. What are some of the things that might be done? Planned Future Build up research - to study new inventions and processes - to transform war time discoveries and war time industries into new peacetime business. Rebuild our homes and remove our slums - cheaper and better homes are necessary - a new technique of building must be de- veloped. More comforts to those outside the city. There a great field exists where the benefits of electricity are lacking and the oil lamp still holds sway. Development of new products for agriculture to grow. Development of the new field of plastics, made from the pro- ducts of the farm to replace me- tals and help solve the building problem. Development of metallurgy - new alloys combined with plas- tics - it fascinates and irtrigues the mind to speculate on the pos- sibilities of this field. Development of aviation. The field is limitless, if we but think and plan. National Health And, finally, nutrition - the fascinating possibilities of which we are beginning to realize. Mr. James, in his paper, has told you of the vision of men like Sir John Boyd Orr in applying the new dis- coveries in the field of nutrition. His thesis might be illustrated by stating that a country such as England should concentrate upon foods such as milk and vegetables and leave the production of wheat to a country such as Canada. Both health and business would be improved. There is a tremen- dous field for expansion as the result of research in nutrition. Vast changes are ahead of us. Af- ter the war Governments will re- gard it as a primary duty to see that citizens are properly supplied with sufficient nutrition, even the poorest of them. The success with which these things can be done, once the blue- printing has been completed, de- pends upon the smooth regularity with which savings can be made to flow into new capital equip- ment. This means encouragement and reward for the old virtue of thrift. Finally, corporations should be encouraged to set up sufficient financial reserves to support re- search, to aid in the transforma- tion of labour of our hands and brains from war work to a peace- time economy and to give full employment in so' doing. Use of Capital Such encouragement can be readily given. I put the sugges- tion baldly without the support- ing argument. Our system of taxation has been to raise cor- poration taxes higher and higher, -to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. We should impose little or no taxes on the corpora- tion that conforms to certain standards of trusteeship, that seeks to give more employment and social security. The taxes should be placed upon all money withdrawn from the business by way of dividends and interest or fees, wages, and salaries. We should think of the corporation not as an entity, a soulless per- sonality if you like, but rather as an instrument such as a spade, a machine, to create employment with wages and income. Research, blueprinting, produc- tion, full employment, security, health with full financial re- serves to make them possible - these are the goals for which we must plan and strive. If free en- terprise fails to face the challenge and to meet the demands of our people for employment and se- curity, then some other system will surely be invited ta attempt the job. It is my conviction that free enterprise in industry, in labour, in agriculture and in the professions can and will seize the challenging opportunity of today and take a great step forward in farging out of this terrible cru- cible of war the same clear con- ceptions of economic democracy that we have already won for ourselves in the field of political democracy. Mr. President, if I have seemed ta swell unduly upon aur eco- nomic problems and the threat ta aur economic freedom, permit me ta say that I am very conscious every hour that the war must first be won. It cannot be won if we are apathetic or small-minded. People's War One Sunday recently in the Church of England where I wor- ship, the clergyman seized that solemn moment when he turns ta his congregation ta call them to prayer in that magnificent prayer "for the whole state of Christ's church militant here on earth" ta add a further call -- "To T//E f4C~73' 0F10116'IIFE pray for thase who have left this parish to serve in the service of the King, for the King and his Ministers, for the Empire" - my thoughts began to wander. I saw a swelling army of young men and women streaming from every hamlet and parish in an ever-in- creasing flood to join, not the forces of the King, mark you, but rather the righteous crusade of the people of our race pledged ta of Ail Saints Anglican Church in fight and not to cease until the Toronto was elected President, forces of evil, under the banners and Alderman Donald M.

ONTARIO CITIZEN RENDERS IMPORTANT SERVICE TO BIBLE SOCIETY To a citizen of Ontario belongs the honor this year of translating one of the books of the Bible for the British and Foreign Bible Society, Miss A. C. Munro of Fort William whose name appears on the Honour Roll for translating the Gospel of St. John into the language of a tribe in the Belgian Congo in West Africa. This is one of many interesting facts in the Annual Report of the Upper Canada Bible Society. The Upper Canada Bible Soc- iety last year distributed nearly 105,000 copies of the Scriptures in no less than 48 languages besides making many free grants of scrip- tures to organizations carrying on religious work in that area. Numerous incidents of human interest are told by District Sec- retaries and Colporteurs in their work in Ontario and abroad. Boxes of matches on a pile of Bibles pmoved a real sales booster at a place in Portugal. The local authorities were vemy hostile ta the sale of the book. Nothing daunted, the Colporteur built up a stack of Bibles on the open street, placed a f ew boxes of matches an top of the pile, and curiaus cowds began ta gather. Then someane spoke up, "Why have yau these matches?" "To burn the books," came the reply, "'when those who have apposed their sale came forwamd and prove them false, as they have said." There weme many sales that day, shawing that a sense of humor pays. At the annual meeting of the Upper Canada Auxiliamy held me- cently, the Treasumer repomted that after payment of ahi expenses of the local work, the Society had cantmîbuted $36,000 tawamds the womld wide wamk of the Society. The Rev. T. W. Murphy, Rector sseet as soon as printe . Editor's Note-Thanks, Guy, for the suggestions, your tolerance, and subscription renewal. They are all appreciated-but the great- est of these is tolerance! Easter's chic bits of straw and ribbon are about ready for the belfries of parading beauties all across Canada. And to match are spring tones in coats, pumps, and bags. Get 'em early, girls! It may be the last wartime chance- for lookit what they've done to men's clothes-no cuffs, no frills, no double orders for the saddened sapients of the genus homo.
