The crossing, wbich is onhy about a haif-mile norlb of Lewars' home, is well-known 10 both men and there are no Irees or other obstructions of '.iew, aI the level crossing.

Rev. Griffith Contends Roosevelt Meant F re ed om of Worship As part of a series of discussions an the Four Freedoms oullined in the Atlantic Charter, Rotarian J. E. Griffith, pastor of Trinity Unit- ed Church, presented the side of Freedom of Religion before Bow- manville Rotarians meeting in the Balmoral Hotel for their lunchean meeting Friday noon. Discussion as 10 wbat President Roosevelt meanl wben be spoke of "Freedorn of Religi" led 10 Mr. Griffith making ftestate- ment "My observation of the mal- ter is that the President really mneant Freedom of Warsbip, not Religion. He was tbinking o! the different groups in the world and of the restrictions on them in cer- tain countries. He visioned a world in which everyone could worship as Ihey chose, as the dif- ferenl sets in tbe Protestant Cburcb do." "Today as we tbmnk about Free- dam o! Religion there are two or three things we must keep in mi. In religion we bave a common objective. There is a re- ligiaus instinct in tbe heart of al o! us and alhbougb many of us may be deeply reiigious we do not want ta be tbought religiaus. Many people Ihink of il as a way o! expressing life for wornen and chiidren and others who might be called weak-minded. Some look on il as a form of sentimentaiism," he said. Rotarian Griffith gave as a definition of freedom-tbe liberty ta choose the master you wil serve. The freedom of which we dream, national, international or individual, the thing ta whicb we aspire as individuals is and must be tbe discipline we practice. Every man must recognize il. When we put ourselves there then the folowing of il wili eventually practice the freedom we desire. Il is Irue of ahl four but particuharly of religion. ',It is my contention that the Atlantic Charter is the most amn- bitious and world-stirring o! any- thing that bas corne aur way. There is hope for the worhd if we realize that il rests on the neces- sity for religious freedom. If we look at il from a politicai stand- point then there is no hope," be said. The speaker contended Ihat al men were religious and said the universal approval the testimony of Eddie Rickenbacker bad re- ceived proved il. In conclusion, he quoted from Wordswortb's sonnet, "Il is not ta, be lhought of", whicb speaks of the flood of free- dom in Britain. A vote o! thanks for bis inspir- ing remarks was rnoved by Ro- tarian Gea. W. James. President L. W. Dippell was in charge of the meeting.

It \vas frorn one of these de- lightful gatherings that Mr. and Mrs. Ross C. Pearce came home 10 their "Southview Villa" farm on the Base Line, Darlington, on Saturday evening, June l9th, to find the house filled with friends ready to extend greetings and wish them many happy returns. For il was the eve of their 25th wedding anniversary, Rosswell C. Pearce and Georgie Langmaid having been married at the home of the bride's parents, the laIe Mr. and Mrs. J. G.

She was followed by Percy Langmaid whc bestowed the gathering's main gifî of a nicely arranged file of bank bis on a silver tray. Although greatly taken by sur- prise the honoured recipients rose to the occasion.
