When a person sounds off, that is just how he does sound-off. b.. xrrhtxp- ni d the glican Advance Appeal for Re- dedication and Thank-offering has already been launched on its cam- paign to raise a sum of $4,300,000. For many years missionaries have gone out from their comfort- able homes in the cities and towns across Canada to combat unspeak- able hardships in the frozen north, in Honan in China, in Kangra at the foot of the Himalayas, bring- ing the benefit of their religious, academic and medical knowledge within the grasp of the people of these lands. It is to cope with an ever-increasing program of help for the Indians here in Can- ada, for the Eskimos in our Northland, the Chinese, the Jap- anese, and for the many races of India that the Appeal is dedicat- ing a sizeable portion of its goal. Not only by members of races worshipping according to a for- eign cult or creed is help need- ed at this time. Members of the Anglican faith in Great Britain and in Europe have seen their churches-many bearing histories and traditions handed down through countless ages-torn by the implements of war. Lines of shattered churches in Britain and Europe mark the path of the op- pressor. These churches must be re-built. Missionaries are all too infre- quently recognized as being grossly underpaid. The small pen- sion coming to them at the end of their period of service is barely enough for them to eke out a meagre existence. A percentage of the Appeal Fund is to be dir- ected towards increasing these pensions; but even taking this increase into consideration, the retired missionary or clergyman will be far from well-fixed. Every part of the campaign to raise the required sum has been carefully worked out beforehand. To put any nation-wide scheme- into operation costs money, and no expense has been spared in reaching Anglicans across Can- ada through various media-a filmstrip visually depicting the accomplishments and the need for expansion of the services of the Church, printed matter, the pul- pit, and a personal tour across the Dominion by Dean Waterman who has visited every diocese in Can- ada, the Yukon and the North- west Territories. The need is great; at no time in the history of man has it been greater. The response must be equally great. S.S.

Mrs. Gib- son spent Monday in Oshawa too. While Marion Martin, daughter of Laverne Martin, was hurrying to school Friday morning she stubbed her toe at the railroad crossing and fell putting her shoulder out of joint. She had to be taken to Oshawa to have it put back in place. As it is her right arm she will be handicap- ped at school for a time. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hunter and family and Mr. and Mrs. A.

Farm Forums NO. 4 WEST FORUM No. 4 West Farm Forum met at Mrs. B. Courtice's, March 18th, subject "Can the World be Fed?" Should Canadian.agriculture go all out in an increased production program in order to help meet the needs of tne world? was the first question discussed. The first suggestion was the question of labor, many think that urban folle have as much responsibility as do farmers and feel that this should be put up to them plainly, if this full produc- tion program is to be carried out. We cannot understand why far- mers should work 14 hours per day against 8 hours for factory workers. *However we would answer 'yes' to the question in the hope that the F.A.O. will be at least partially successful in its aims and ambitions. Regarding surpluses we think that anythng that can be stored without . great loss, should be stored as we cannot give away goods indefinitely. Opinion was divided as to whe- ther rationing should be continu- ed here when the emergency per- iod is ended. Some think that we should set a Christian example by depriving ourselves that oth- ers may have more. Others think that the benefits of rationing at present do not justify expense, and that rationing should be dis- continued as soon as the present books are finished. We strongly protest against the increase of sugar to bakeries and soft drink manufacturers. We think it should have been given to housewives so they could do some of their own baking. Wedding MITCHELL-EMOREY St. George's Anglican Church, Newcastle, was the scene of a quiet wedding Saturday after- noon, March 23rd, at 3 o'clock, when Alma Marie Emorey, Or- ono, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Morley Emorey, Whitby, becamesthe bride of Albert Regin- ald Mitchell, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. H. Mitchell, Or- ono, with Rev. D. R. Dewdney offi- ciatîng. The bride was dressed in ro- bin's egg blue figured crepe with black accessories and wore a cor- sage of Talisman roses. Her at- tendant, Mrs. Owen Fagan, Or- ono, wore romance blue crepe with a corsage of roses. The groom was attended by his bro- ther, Wm. George Mitchell of Orono. After the 'ceremony they re- turned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Mitchell for a small re- ception. Mrs. Mitchell received in blue crepe assisted by Mrs. Emorey in dusty rose. The tea table was pretty with pink and white carnations and the three- tiered wedding cake in, the cen- tre. Miss Connie Mitchell and Miss Ivy Emorey served dainty refreshments. The happy couple departed for a week's trip to the States and on their return will live in Orono where the bride is a popular member of the Bank of Commerce staff and the groom an employee of the Provincial Forestry Station. McGregor's Drug Store is much brighter since Jas. Abernethy and his staff did a fast paint job on the walls and ceilings and Wilbert Teeple has rejuvenated the bal- ance of the woodwork in the store.

Muskox Expedition Meets Missionaries In Uncharted Northern Wilderness Town After a straight run of 90 miles along the barren uncharted coast- line of the Northwest Territories, the 44 officers and men of Exer- cisê Muskox reached a trading posf isolated in the northland wilderness. Muskox then is not the first human element to reach this unexplôred region of our land. Men of the expedition found an Anglican Mission, a Roman Catholic Mission, an R.C.M.P. post, a school and a handful of homes belonging to both EskimoS and whites in this snow-covered wild- erness of prolonged daylight and darkness.
