the colborne express, thursday, april 1st, 1948 Subscription--$2.00 a year, $2.50 to U.S.A. red shield appeal in may this year Montreal, March 31--By a switchover in many centres from September to May for its annual Red Shield Appeal, The Salvation Army will this year have its first totally synchronized national campaign, according to Air Marshal W. A. Bishop, V.C., C.B., D.S.O., M.C., D.F.C, E.D., LL.D., chairman of the dominion-wide campaign plans. National objective will be $1,100,000 for maintenance, plus capital items. Actually, Air Marshal Bishop declared, The Salvation Army is just reverting to its prewar policy of conducting its major appeal in the month of May. A government war measure directing that war services campaigns should be held in the spring and home service campaigns in the fall was the prime reasonfor The Salvation Army changing its long-established policy. Another important reason for the change-over, the Air Marshal said, was to avoid conflict with the dates of Community Chest Campaigns. In all larger and many of the small centres throughout the country, Com-mnuity Chest appeals are made in October. This compelled The Salvation Army to -launch its appeal not later than September 15, and as organization of both campaigns progressed almost simultaneously, often the same people were approached to give time and effort as organizers and canvassers. This was detrimental, Air j Marshal Bishop said, to both cam-j paigns. The Marshal stated that though in some cities The Salvation Army was i a participating group with the Com-' munity Chest, it preferred to retain ' its organizational identity. The difficulties of campaign organ- j ization during summer vacation mon- j ths was stressed by the National | Chairman. With an early September appeal the many good friends who comprise campaign committees across j Canada and without whom the Red Shield could not be conducted, find j they have insufficient time after holi- i m sM up'a re*lly effective organization. In centres where problems have caused a postponment of the appeal, The Salvation Army has, in some instances, been forced to delay the campaign until uncomfortably near Christmas. In such places lowered returns have seriously jepardized the maintenance of services. The benefits to a synchronized appeal from national publicity were obvious, Air Marshal Bishop said. He forcast-ed an unsurpassed response on the part of Canadians to the 1948 Red Shield Appeal, and said that never before in its sixty years' operation in Canada had The Salvation Army's needs been 30 urgent or its demands so multiplied., twenty scholarships offered in 1948 -1949 The Agricultural Institute of Canada has announced that an open competition will be held for twenty scholarships of $800 each for postgraduate studies in the field of scie-tific agriculture. This is the third year that the Agricultural Institute has sponsored such a competition, the funds for which are contributed by Canadian firms interested in the advancement of Canadian agriculture. During the past two years 42 Canadian agriculturists have been assisted and the present awards are designed to permit the training of an additional 20 during the 1948-1949 academic year. The competition is open to graduates in Agriculture and to holders of other degrees provided that the courses taken afforded suitable preparation for graduate work leading to service in the field of Agricultuie Applicants must be residents of Can Applications must be made to the General Secretary of the Agricu! tural Institute of Canada, Confederation Building, Ottawa, by June 1, on forms that are available on request to that office. The successful candidates for these scholarships will be selected by; a special committee under the chairmanship of Dr. R. D. Sinclair, Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Alberta, Edmonton. ace broadcaster to be air guest even hydrometer prefers blondes Imagine having the postman bring you a gaily-wrapped Christmas present in the middle of January--and think of your surprise when you undid the paper and found a box full of red hair! Thait's what happened to Gilmour Clark, of the Dominion Public Weather Bureau at Malton, Ontario. The belated Christmas gift, sent by an anonymous donor in Edmonton, followed Clark's January 3 "Clearing up the Weather" broadcast -- weekly program about weather facts and fancies, broadcast Saturdays at 6.00 EST, on mid-east stations of the CBC Trans-Canada network. On that date he had told listeners about the hydrometer, as used by meterologists for measuring humidity. This consists of 20 blonde hairs strung between bars which stretch when air moisture rises and shrink when it goes down. (Mr. Clark says that blonde hairs are used because they are the most sensitive). "I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the person who sent that red hair," Gil Clark says, "but hydrometers prefer blondes ! And we have enough blonde hair on hand to keep ours supplied for umpteen years." Andy Clarke, radio's celebrated "Mayor of the Little Places," will visit the next "Canadian Calvacade" show, to be interviewed by Cy Mack. Judging by the mail he receives, Andy is regarded as an old family friend by thousands of regular listeners to his own programs. Since 1940, he has been broadcasting a Sunday morning program of "Neighbourly News" for the CBC--homey items culled from over 200 weekly news papers o£ Ontario and Quebec^--and recently he began a Saturday evening series of remiscences and anecdotes liberally sprinkled with his own special brand of friendly philosophy. Listeners coast to coast can meet him on "Canadian Calvacade" Tuesday, April 6th, at 8.30 p.m. EST, on the CBC Trans-Canada network. On the "Calvacade" show with Andy will be Mart Kenney's orchestra, vocalists Norma Locke and Roy Roberts, and a musical guest--singer Jean Carlton. easter sunday services at colborne churches | Easter Sunday, Clear and Cold, j Saw Local Churches Well Filled j With Earnest Worshippers No. 187 -- Colborne In War and Peace the Lej "Carries On" legion notes ; newspapers plead pensioners' case Anglican The Service of Holy Communion in -Trinity Anglican Church was conducted by the Rector, the Rev.

There was every reason for those interested in the disabled veteran to protest that the sum paid for total disability • wemty-four years ago was inadequate ot-day. Yet there seems to be no established basis for the $10 a month increase. If $75 was proper compensation in 1924 it cannot be true that movie news Brought to the screen in all its magnificence and scintillating beauty is the world popular novel by Mary O'Hara, "Thunderhead," supported by an all-star cast headed by Roddy McDowall and Preston Foster, and filmed in glorious technicolour.

The Minister welcomed these home-comers on behalf of the congregation. The choir, under the leadership of Mrs. W. G. Irvine, provided inspiring music. The first anthem was "Hail the Day" with a duet part by Jean Arkles and Betty Cook. Misses Verna McNally and Mary Rutherford sang a special arrangement of "There Is a Green Hill Far Away." The second anthem in the morning was entitled "Christ Arose. In the evening the opening anthem was "Early to the Garden." Mrs. Irvine, daughter Shirley, and Mrs. M. Campbell sang a trio entitled "The Garden" from an Easter Cantata called "The Resurrection." The hymns reasonalbly based, whether it shouK be across the board, is difficult to know. There is not, for instance, any evidence that it takes into account the widely varying problems and circumstances of the different catergories of pensioners. It is questionable whether the compensation given to the veterans for their disabilities should be tied directly to a rising cost of living. A decrease in the cost of living could make the excuse for curtailment in the standard of living of the disabled veterans. Thanks to modern methods of retaining disabled persons, many 100 per cent disability cases can do useful and economically valuable work. This should not militate against a fair compensation for the handicaps under which they must live. What is fair, equitable and possible are by no means easy to determine. There are important difficulties which the Government must assess. But that the announced increases are inadequate is beyond doubt. the quiet hour (By Rev. T. J. H. Rich) | "Here we have no continuing city, j but we seek one to come."--Heb. | 13 : 14. Mr. Rothschild was reported to be j the wealthiest man in the world, but j he lived and died in an unfinished j mansion. He had power to frighten | nation by calling for gold. Yet, one I of the cornices of his house was pur-j posely left unfinished, to bear testi-■ mony that he was a pilgrim in the land. He was an orthodox Jew, and the house of every Jew, according to the Talmud, must be left unfinished. The unfinished cornice says : "Beautiful as this is, it is not my home : I am looking for a city." Friends, does the unfinished cornice appear in your life? Do you know that you are a stranger as were our fathers? One place have I in heaven above, The glory of His throne; On this dark earth, whence He has gone, I have one place alone; And if His rest in heaven I know, I joy to find His path below. One lowly path across the waste, The lowly path of shame; I would adore Thy wondrous Grace That I should tread the same. The Stranger and the Alien, Thou, And I the stranger, and the alien, now. We bless Thee, that life is a pilgrimage; that the earth is not our rest; that every day brings us nearer our home in the city of God, and that Thou are willing to be our Companion in every step of the desert march. Jesus, Thou living bread, Ground in the mills of death, Let me by Thee be fed; Thy servant hungereth. Jesus, Thou choicest Vine, Nailed to the cross of woe, Now let Thy life Divine, | Into my being flow. ! Jesus, be not a guest That tarrieth but a day I Come to my longing breast. He reigneth. but may we get that it is from the throne on Golgotha.
