Damage estimated at up to $100,-000 was done by the Christmas Day fire which destroyed the passenger deck and did much damage also to the top, or administrative, deck. To ready the ship for the voyage to Port" Dalhousie, temporary repairs were made to the rear house by local carpenters. Part of the big job of making repairs will include replacing steel beams and deck plates which were buckled and otherwise damaged by the intense heat of the fire. The many coats of paint on the boat burned fiercely, creating unusual heat-- Sentinel-Star. FACTS ON RED CROSS ACTIVITIES 1. The 1944 Canadian Red Cross campaign for funds will be held the first two weeks in March, to coincide with that of the American Red Cross. 2. Expansion of the Blood Donor Service in Ontario has called for greatly increased work for all four sections of the Canadian Red Cross Corps, and there is an ever-increasing need for daytime workers in all sections. Tremendous demands are being made on the Nursing Auxiliary Section by both military and civilian hospitals. Total hours of service, exclusive of drill and training, both for Red Cross and other National services in Ontario for the year ending August 1943 were 427,232; or "140 working 3. Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society has been requested to submit a brief to the Ontario Social Security and Reconstruction Committee stressing the place of Home Making in the post-war rehabilitation program, and suggesting that some form of definite training for young women bs included in the plans of this body. Ontairo Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society now operates thirty blood donor clinics in the province. The Blood Donor Service in Canada is one of the pioneers in this category in the world. Red Cross is the only agency for this life saving ! service, which is operated at the direct request of the Canadian Government. 5. Members of the Canadian Red Cross Corps are rendering invaluable assistance to hospitals throughout the province during the present shortage of nurses. One hospital superintendent in a town with many war workers, stated that without the assistance given by members of the Corps it would have been necessary to close an entire floor of the hospital last month. CEREAL SEED GRAIN With many farmers making ar-langement for their seed for the spring of 1944 early in the year, and some uncertainty as to prices, the' ceiling as set by the Seeds Administrator is of interest. It is felt that farmers will wish to live within the law and beware of the limit. Each is based on the price at Fort William and to this price may be added the freight and cost of bags. With Grade No. 1 seed oats this is $1.04 per bushel at Toronto, which makes the maximum $1.15. Maximum prices do not apply to registered and certified grades of seeds. In barley the price is $1.28, and at Toronto would retail for $1.44 per bushel. Agricultural Representative R. C. Banbury states that if those requiring seed secure it soon, it is believed that Northumberland County can look after its own needs at prices somewhat below the ceiling. To supply a source of good seed, the Quinte District Seed Growers' Association hope to bring a carload of registered grain from Western Canada, and those interested in Ajax and other newer varieties may secure their needs through their Agricultural Representative. LEADERS GIVE MUCH FOR CAUSE Prime Minister Churchill, President Roosevelt, Premier Stalin and Generalissimo Chaing Kai-Shek have given the world many examples of surrender of their own pleasures, convenience and rest for the sake of the United Nations they represent. The war has called Mr. Churchill to many conferences, across the oceans and continents, everyone entailing a long journey. President Roosevelt, at great sacrifice has gone abroad on long journeys for freedom's sake and for the sake of the world. Chaing Kai Shek came from far-away China, across the continent of Asia to North Africa. Marshal Stalin journeyed into what was the land of the Persians of old, now known as Iran, leaving the multiplicity of his duties at home for a brief space of time to join in Allied counsels. The United Nations and their lead-rs have all undergone great strain and the four above mentioned have borne the full share of the anxieties and difficulties. These men are directing the war against the worst menace that the humanity has known, the tryanny of Germany. Theirs' is a load which few can know and they have borne it for years before and during the war. To the Allied leaders a debt which can never be fully paid is owing for their devotion to the causa they have taken up for mankind. Their satisfaction will be what they have struggled for and what thev have lead their nations for will come to pass, a peace of security that will benefit the world and will not enforce on other such leaders in the future burdens only men of great gifts and strength and peace of heart could strength and hear could bear.--Ontario-Intelligencer. Algiers--3,000 ships were engage-! in the Anglo-American attack on Sicily--the greatest amphibious operation of all time. In the initial nssault 160,000 men, 14,000 vehicles 600 tanks and 1,800 guns were transported. IF WE HAD NO CEILING Vancouver Sun : Canada is now gaged in a supreme effort to hold its price ceiling. One of its chief difficulties is that many people think the effort hardly worth while. They observe that, despite the ceiling, many prices have gone up. They assume that things coitld be much worse if there were no ceiling at all--and this despite the fact that many prices, apart from food, have remained almost stationary despite the enormous upward pressure. The only safe way to gauge the success of the present ceiling is to consider what prices would be today if there were no ceiling. We can be sure that they would have risen far more than in the last war. If grocery prices doubled then we can be sure they would have tripled now, or risen even higher. Without the freezing of wages and prices (one being essential to the other) we would now be in the chaos of a great inflation. All savings would have lost a considerable part of their value. All people like pensioners and old folks living on fixed incomes would have been ruined. But worse than that, the war program of the nation would have been demoralized by the class warfare, the struggle to keep wages abreast of rising prices and the general destruction of morale which inevitably follows inflation. UNITED CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday several new teachers appeared at Sunday School, which appears ta be off to a good start JEor the present year. The duet by Miss Clarke and Mrs. Colton at the Sunday morning service was greatly apperciated. At the Stewards' meeting the finances were found to be in much better shape than usual at the close of the year. Sickness and removals have made it quite difficult for some of our organizations to carry on with their usual efficiency. On Wednesday night the United Service of Witness was well attended. Nine ministers were present. The Hustlers Class met at the home of Mrs. W. A. Turney on Thursday evening. The pot-luck supper and annual congregational meeting will be held on Thursday, January 13th. WESLEY MINIFIE CLAWED BY EAGLE HE HAD TRAPPED Bald Eagle Caught in Trap By Toe of One Foot Clawed on the wrist by a trapped bald eagle, Wesley Minifie, Hamilton Township assessor, was severely hurt by the talons of the bird, during th» past week. Mr. Minifie had lost four sheep, killed by dogs. He set a trap near the sheep pen, and each of the two successive nights caught a fox. On the third morning, feeding on the dead sheep, an eagle was caught by the middle toe of one foot. With an iron pipe, Mr. Minifie hit the bird and thought it was dead. As he stooped to release it from the trap, the eagle sprang at him and the talons closed around his wrist and pierced it. Striking it again and again, the bird was finally killed. The eagle weighed about 14 pounds and had r wing spread of 7 feet from tip tt. tip.--Cobourg World. "QUICKLY AND RUTHLESSLY" MOTTO OF C.CF.-SOCIALISTS The C.C.F.-Socialists are unmasking. Harold Winch's warning that when they come into office everyone must submit to their doctrines--or else, was not an isolated forecast of the new tyranny in store for Canadians. On December 8, acording to a report in a newspaper friendly to the C.C.F., School Trustee and Professor G. M. A. Grube advised the University C.C.F. Club on how to treat nonconformists when the C.C.F. gets control of affairs. "In every capitalistic country," j Prof. Grube is reported as saying, "there is a relatively small group responsible to nobody but themselves. If you get power you must be prepared to use it quickly and ruthlessly to prevent these people from gumming up the works. There is nothing more dangerous to a socialist-demo-1 cratic party than to secure power and j then not put their policy through."*: Dictatorship ! Do as we say--or else. That is the attitude of the C C. F.-Socialists. 1944 CAR LICENSES ON SALE JANUARY 10th Announcement was made by the Highways Department, at Toronto, that automobile licenses for 1944 will go on sale about January 10.

A limited supply of canned salmon, which has been conspicuous by its absence from grocers' shelves for two years, will be released to Canadians on a rationed basis January ■17th, the Prices Board has announc ed. Decision to ration the available supply was taken because of the expected heavy demand for the 200,000 cases which will be available. The regular meat coupons will be required for the purchase of the salmon which will be packed in one-quarter, one-half and one pound tins. Other types of canned fish will not be rationed. Premier George Drew played Santa Claus to 1,000 English children whose fathers are either prisoners of war or have been killed on active service. The children were guests of the City of Guelph and the County of Wellington at a mammoth Christmas party held on the outskirts of London, England. Over $1,200 was donated for this purpose by residents of the Ontario city and county. Lt.-Col. D. C. Unwin Simpson, administrative secretary to Hon. Vincent Massey, Canadian High Commissioner cabled Guelph City Council on Dec. 21 that the party was held for London children between the ages of five and ten years whose fathers were killed by enemy action or taken prisoners of war. A special invitation was sent to Premier Drew by the Guelph Council to play the role of Santa Claus. Premier George Drew observed Christmas Day with his old artillery unit of the last Great War, now the 16th-43rd Battery from Guelph. There were 72 establishments in Canada in 1942 manufacturing concentrated milk products for human consumption.

The Administrators concerned have informed this Division in unequivocal terms that at present, and for the next six months at least, there is a definite waste paper shortage. Indeed the shortage is much more acute that at any time since the war began. The paper situation is critical. Waste Paper, especially brown paper, containers and corrugated paper are now more urgently required because of the great scarcity of virgin pulp wood, and because of the greatly increased need of paper containers for the packaging and shipment of food and munitions supplies to our Armed Forces, overseas and at home, and also to Britain and our Allies. Shipments of all kinds of waste paper to the mills must be increased. We cannot at this critical time allow any mill to close down due to lack of the necessary waste paper. The production, in increasing quantities, of containers for shells, medical kits, emergency rations, Blood Plasma, grenades, gas masks, Air Force emergency packs, bomb fins and rings, and for hundreds of other Naval, Army and Air Force uses, makes this urgent appeal necessary. To keep Canada's supply lines intact to our Armed Forces and Allies requires an endless stream of paper containers. These millions of containers sent overseas cannot be returned for re-use. This is an important contributing factor to the paper short age in Canada. There is a definite guarantee that every carload of waste paper, Baled or Securely Bundled, for which no market is available through regular channels, will be cleared through a Government Company. There is an abundance of needed waste paper in the home, in the store and in the factory. Now is the time to get it moving to the mills through your local Voluntary Salvage Committee or through any known commercial or trade channel. Don't forget to salvage all Christmas cartons, paper containers and brown wrapping paper. WHY FARMERS SELL OUT If you have been wondering why so many farmers are holding auction sales, probably the following prices received for farm machinery at public auctions, held recently, will furnish the clue. A tractor, 3 years old, sold for $200 more than the cost of new one then; a binder, 30 years old, sold for $130--it cost the owner $117; a seeder purchased 30 years ago for $80 sold for the same amount two weeks ago; a manure spreader sold for $70.00--the owner paid $65 for it when he purchased it at an auction sale 30 years ago; a pair of electric stock clippers, purchased for $22.75 sold at a recent auction for $38.00.--Winchester Press. There is nothing new under the tn. Seeking divorce, a California woman says her husband started rationing her gasoline in 1936. SOCIALISM AND FREE SPEECH R. P. MacLean, publisher of the Kelowna, B.C., Courier, has been telling his readers just why he is not more sympathetic towards socialism, says the Midland Free Press Hearld. He says that he has to admit that he is a wicket capitalist who is trying to run his business at a profit, just as does the owner of a grocery store or the farmer who grows produce for sale. To print his paper he has to own or rent a building and a printing plant, both of which costs money, and to buy newsprint and hire employees. To raise the money required he has to sell his newspaper at $2.50 per year to people who want it, and sell advertising to people who have things to sell. The paper could not run without advertising revenue. Mr. MacLean believes he would speedily find himself out of a job were a socialist government to come into power. We'll let him say it. 'From where would the advertising come? Since the goods which each citizen used every day would be decided for him by experts, and the price of them settled so that they would absorb the proper proportion of his income, there would be no reason for advertising at all. In fact, prominent C. C. F.ers have made it plain that there is no place for advertising in their plans for their bright, new world." "With advertising revenue gone, the publisher of the Courier would be at the mercy of the bureaucrats running the government. They would tell him what he might and might not say. That seems to happen in countries where the government runs everything. It is quite natural that it should. There cannot be more than one party in a socialistic country, for. since objection to the way in which j anything is done in the country is ! bound to be an attack, not on an ad-! ministration, but on the actual system of government of the country. ! "Thanks. The publisher of this i paper has no desire to run it under a socialist government. He could not afford to; he is convinced that freedom of speech would be a thing of the past; and he would be--too scar-I ed." SUNDAY SCHOOL CHRISTMAS SERVICE The Annual Sunday School Christmas Service was held in the Castleton Free Methodist Church, Wednesday evening, December 22nd, 1943, with a large attendance. The Pastor, Rev. A. F. Ball, presided. Mrs. N. Guhter, the Sunday School Superintendent, offered prayer and gave a brief address. Under training of Mrs. W. H. Book-out a number of Christmas carols were sung by the children, and several recitations were given bearing on the meaning and purpose of Christmas. Gifts were presented to all the Sunday School children, and the. teachers received presents from their respective classes. Miss Clara Ball was the recipient of a very nice gift from the children in apreciation of her service as J. M. S. President. An offering was received to apply on the purchase of books for the Sunday School library. The meeting closed with the singing of the Doxology and God Save the King.
