McNally and LEGION NOTES Retroactive Clothing Grants Sought for AH Ranks The great volume of complaints being received by Legion branches throughout the country demand that action be taken toward making the clothing allowance of $100 retroactive to the beginning of the war, the three ministers of defence were told recently in a letter from J. C. G. Hor-wig, general secretary of the Canadian Legion. "During this war," Mr. Herwig said, "men have been discharged with four different clothing allowance rates --$27.50 in the summer and $35.00 in the winter--until a change in the regulations .effective November 1st, 1943, was made increasing the amount to $65.00 as a year-round rate. A further change to the $100.00 rate was made on August 1st, 1944. The result has been, Mr. Herwig continued, to penalize those men who volunteered early in the war and who many have had up to 4 years service. While men who may have enlisted late in the war spent only a few months in Canada before discharge, received the full amount. I The case for officers, he declared, ■was further aggravated by the fact that an increase in uniform allowance was made quite late in the war and officers who had enlisted prior to that time did not receive the benefit pm it. "The Legion believes that this is a Matter which should be adjusted so as to rule out these discriminations, particularly against men who served overseas. They are just* as much in need of the increased amount as those who are being discharged to-day. daughter.

Our aim is to show how they may be used in a practical way in family meal planning, for rules mean little unless properly applied to veryday living. Bountiful though our country may be, reports have shown that malnutrition still exists and Canadian homes are still confronted with the problem of what to eat. "Food will win the war and write the peace" one writer has said, and food is a vital weapon for health in every Canadian home, for no one can keep well and strong with a zest for hearty living unless he eats the right foods every day !

After the ceremony one hundred guests assembled at the College Library for the reception and were received by the bride's mother, wearing a two-piece limelight green crepe ensemble, with corsage of Talisman roses.

EIGHTH VICTORY LOAN DISTRICT OBJECTIVES County Objective is $1,700,000 National War Finance Committee Headquarters at Cobourg have nounced the breakdown of the County Eighth Victory Loan Objective for each district in the County of Northumberland. The total County Objective is $1,700,000. District objectives for the Eighth Loan are as follows : Cobourg ............................ $435,000 Hamilton Twp. . S. Monagahn Twp. Haldimand Twp...... Alnwick Twp........... Percy Twp............... Cramahe Twp......... Hastings Village ..... Colborne ................... Brighton Twp.......... Brighton Village Murray Twp............. Campbellford ........... Seymour Twp.......... 145,000 30,000 100,000 25,000 105,000 90,000 45,000 80,000 70,000 135,000 105,000 200,000 135,000 Total ...................... $1,700,000 In announcing the District objectives, the Executive Committee of the Northumberland Victory Loan organization point out that the overall objective is well below the total amount subscribed last fall in the Seventh Victory Loan. In that campaign 112% of the $1,625,000 was raised. R. G. Parker, Chairman of the Payroll Savings Section, announces that his section covering the canvass of nine large industrial plants in Northumberland has been asked to rise $105,000. The balance of the objective of $1,7000,000 will be raised through subscriptions from the general canvass. Loan officials are confident that the county will achieve its objective. Conditions appear most favourable, particularly in the rural areas. However, the people of Northumberland are faced with the largest Victory Loan objective they have ever had, and it is only through individual effort that a successful campaign can be put over. The County Victory Loan committee urge the people to get ready to buy Victory Loan bonds. The campaign opens April 23rd, on which date salesmen and banks will urge everybody to "Invest in the Best" and help put their district over the top in the Eighth Victory Loan Campaign. THE WAYSIDE CHURCH 'And I saw a little Wayside Church." --Grayson. Our Text-- "They, without us, shall not be made perfect.--Heb. 11 : 40. Our Verse-- "One family we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, That narrow stream called death." --C. Wesley. Our Sermon-- So, then, the writer of the Hebrews is saying that they who have gone on before will not be made perfect apart from those who come after them. Their joy will not be wholly completed only as our salvation is con-sumated. Could any words tell more plainly the truth of man's unending relation to man, and the continuity of his moral and spiritual life. Think of the moral magnificence of it, the spiritual swing and sweep of it, the divine daring that it takes to believe it, the perfection of the souls who have gone on before waiting upon the perfecting of the lives that come after them. Does not this mean to say that all that is good in the past is linked to all that is worthwhile of the future? What a responsibility it lays upon us who carry in the trust of faith in our tmes. We must not fail those who are praying that God will perfect in us that which concerneth them. Verily the skies of God's eternal spaces are crowded with the spirits of the bravest and best of all the centuries, who are cheering us on in the heavenly way and only as loyal to the truth of God will they see of the travail of their souls and be satisfied.
