e, r. Rev. R. L. Smith to Speak to Employees On 9th Victory Loan Arrangements have been made for Rev. L. B. Smith cf Newton- ville te speak on behaîf cf the 9th Victory Loan te the entire staffs cf the Goodyear Tire and -' Rubber Company, the Bowman- ville Foundry Company and the J. Anderson Smith Company, Newcastle, at dates, te be an- nounced. From headquarters of the Na- tional War Finance Committee, Durham Ccunty, cornes the fol- lowing interesting information on Rev. Smith: When Rev. Lawrence B. Smith engages in the coming Ninth Vic- Rev. B. L. Smith tory Loan Campaign it will be a natural enough gesture on his part. For Mr. Smith, now United Church minister at Newtenville, Kendal and Shiloh, saw seme- thing cf the German enerny in the First Great War, as did his cnly son, the late Flying Officer Lind- say Smith, in this one. As a cemmon, every-day, fight- ing private cf the original Uni- versity Company cf the celebrat- ed Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry Regiment, cf many distinguished battle hon- ours, the Senior Smith served threugheut seme cf the heaviest engagements of the net always "Quiet" Western Front. He was taken prisener by the Germans at the battle cf Sanctuary Wood in June, 1916, and was an unwill- ing guest cf the enemy until 1918. Se unwilling was Pte. Smith te, associate with the enemy that with two companions he effect- ed a clear-cut escape, and was free for as long as five days, when the wily Hun descended upon him in his hiding place. On recapture, he went into the penitentiary on a six months' sentence for daring te attempt escape. Persisting in his endeaveur, Pte. Smith received his second chance te "take a walk," as he dscribes it, when the German re- volution broke eut. This time he made his get-away and by nightly forced marches, he reached the Dutch border, and safety. The yeunger Smith, serving in this war in the R.C.A.F., was ne- pcrted "missing," later "killed in action." He was buried at Venlo, Holland, at a point near to which his father had passed when escap- ing the enemy about 25 years earlier. Rev. Mr. Smith, who will be heard on behalf cf the Ninth Vic- tory Loan by the employees cf many cf the ceunty's industrial plants, is a native Yorkshireman, ceming te Canada in 1909. Grad- uating in theelogy from Queen's Unversity, Kingston, in 1922, he has filled several charges in East- ern Ontario. Before comîng te Newtcnville last July he was min- ister for ten years at Addison, near Brockville. He and Mrs. Smith reside at Newtonville. A devoted minis- ter cf the Gospel, Mr. Smith is keenly interested in promoting thewelfare cf returned men and women, and in aiding any cause which constructively serves them. PARADE OF SONGS GREGORY CLARK Widely known Canadian news- paperman and war correspondent, who begins a new career in com- mercial radio as star o! "Parade o! Song" heard Tuesday nights. He covered the war !rom Decem- ber, 1939, until after the Allied invasion and his understanding of and quick sympathy for the su!- !erings o! his fellows, and his r. ability to express this in simple, straight-forward prose have made him the Ernie Pyle cf Canada. He served in the last war, returning as a major with the M.C. won at Vimy, and his oldest son was killed in this war. If I don't fight for a new world I amn not fit for it.
