ROWSOME ONE 83 King Street CC THE STORY OF JOE SPENCER AND KAY MARCHELL (By Jessie C. Bond) Kay Marchell and Joe Spencer had been friends from their early childhood: they both attended the same school and always felt they belonged to each other. Their teacher, good, kind, Miss Gale, who had taught so many of the boys and girls of East-ville, and had watched them grow up into young men and women and settle in the village or leave to make new homes for themselves in distant places. Joe Spencer was a bright, studious boy, but at the age of seventeen school-days became monotonous to him and his studies were being neglected, like the birds who return to their haunts in the Spring, and when the trees were shooting forth their green buds Joe felt the urge to go West. So one bright sunny day he bade farewell to his parents and with a loving goodbye to Kay, and the promise that some day she would become his wife, and with courage-and determination he boarded the midnight flier for the far West. When he reached his destination he began to search for a job; the kind work which would lead ->to success-and prosperity. He worked very hard| early and late with good results, and, with the money he saved he boughi a half interest in a large farm froi s young man who was in poor healtl DISTRICT CONVENTION HELD IN WARKWORTH GOOD CROWDS PRESENT The Peterborough District Conven-vention which was held at Warkworth May 4 to 7, was attended by several ministers and many lay members from different parts of the district. Rev. R. L. Casement, Superintendent of the Peterborough district presided. On Friday afternoon the missionary guest speaker, Mrs. E. M. Daniels, General President of the Women's Missionary Society of the Free Methodist Church, gave the address. In view of the fact that this year marks the semi-centennial anniversary of the founding of the W. M. S. Mrs. Daniels summarized its achievements of the past fifty years. It has now, she said, 15,000 active members and 5,000 honorary members and a monthly misisonary magazine which is self-fupporting with 18,000 subscriptions. It has raised a large amount of money for misisonary purposes. In conclusion, Mrs. Daniels paid tribute to the many small misisonary societies which are, she declared, the backbone of the work. - A large crowd was present at the Sunday morning service to hear the rddress of Bishop Ormston, of Spring Arbor, Michigan. The Sunday afternoon service was held at an earlier hour" than had been previously anounced to allow attendance at the Memorial Service which was being held in the village and almost unable to carry on. With ior the late staff Sergeant Garnet Joe's help, however, they farmed tof Richardson at three o'clock. A good gether for some time. Crops weref-cowegation was present at 1.45 p.m. good and they prospered.

It was Monday evening, rain and sleet had been falling since earlyj morning, and as he sat there! picuture of young manhood, with his' delicately cut features and brown, curly hair, his faithful collie lying at bis feet, his thoughts, very naturally, turned toward Eastville and to Kay in particular. He took out his writing material and wrote a long letter to her, telling her of his good fortune and of the nice sum he had managed to save; offering her his heart and home, as he now felt they could live quite comfortably. Not a home to which she had been accustomed, with servants, but a home where his life-purpose would be make her happy. How delighted Kay was to rece that letter, the one she had watched for so long and so patiently and now, at last, she was to become Joe's wife. Immediately she wired him she would leave on the midnight train the following week, just as he had done a few years before, and they" could bV married at the parsonage imemdiately upon her arrival, as Joe had arranged, and then --O Joy !--down to the rm which was to be their home. The first two years of their marriage was a golden fantasy; new furnishings had replaced old ones, windows freshly curtained and the whole house tastefully arranged, showing good taste and refineemnt. Kay was very happy for i the years passed she became fretful and moody. Joe noticed the change but said nothing, until returned from work earlier than usual he found Kay lying on the couch, sobbing as though her heart would break. Joe knelt and kissed her tear-stained face, sying gently "Kay dear, I have noticed lately you seem to be extremely unhappy, won't you tell me why?" "Yes, Jtie" said Kay, "I am tired of the sameness of each day, you have been very kind to me, but I long for my home and dear old Eastville and for all the things I used to enjoy there." "Do you mean it Kay; reall mean--that--that you are going to leave me?" "Yes Joe, I have firmly made up my mind, and please do not ask me to change it!" Joe struggled with his anger and the cense of injustice for a moment, the! he said "Be it as you wish, my love wants all the music or none; but remember, when you are tired of the sameness of each day back at Eastville and are ready to return, I shall be waiting to welcome you, should you care to come back." "Thank you, said Kay, "and now will you : take me to the station. I quite ready!" The car was soot the door, but the hand which gripped the wheel was shaky, his nerves were all unstrung from the strain of the past hours. Soon there was a crash, an awful crash, and Joe was lifted from the twisted mass, unconscious and bleeding, Kay, too, had minor cuts and bruises, but was able to free herself irom the wreckage. Weeping and wringing her hands she realized that she alone had been responsible for all this. Bending over what apepaerd to be a lifeless form, holding her hand his heart to see if any life remained, and crying "Joe. speak to le--it's Kay. I am going back home ith you forever!" Quickly the ambu-;nce arrived and Joe was lifted into; it and taken to the nearest hosiptal. After an emergency operation the kindly surgeon came to Kay, who hurried tp meet him. "How is my husband?" she implored, "will he re-over, doctor?" "I can't say yet my irl, but we have done all we can for him, and now we must leave him to higher power than ours. Twenty-four hours will tell the tale." Kay cried out in agony. "O doctor, doctor, day evening when Bishop Ormston Progressive Conservative ANNUAL MEETING and NOMINATING CONVENTION -to be held in the- WARKWORTH TOWN HALL Monday Evening, May 29th 1944, at 8.30 o'clock GUEST SPEAKER : MR. EARL DESMOND, M.P., of Kent County inent place it should have This address was highly aprepciated. One very pleasing feature of the Sunday services was the singing furnished by the Young People's Quartette from Kingston. The pastor, Rev. A. F. Ball, expressed his appreciation of the generous co-operation of the members of his congregation in furnishing free entertainment for all the guests. Some ministers of the district who attended the meetings were : Rev. B. ^E. Dawson, of Peterborough; Rev. W. J. T. Hicks, Cordova; Rev. L. C. Ball, Marmora; Rev. N. A. Bosko, Venna-char; Rev. R.

CANADIAN BEESWAX HAS WAR VALUE In addition to providing Canada .wi|h aproximatelv 32.500.000 pounds of honey last year--the second largest output in the history of the Dominion and 53 per cent in excess of the 1942 production--Canadian beekeepers also made available large quantities of beeswax which was of distinct value to war industries. This wax is required in the manufacture of warships, the production of para-hutes and the protective covering of aircraft. It is used in the making of adhesive tape for sealing shells and for waterproofing shells, belt coils and machinery. War plants also need it to wax cables and pulleys to improve insulation. In spite of last year's large honey production, the amount cf beeswax produced was insufficient to meet Canada's requirements and the Prices Boara is endeavoring to lend every encouragement honey industry this year. rebuild a world of monopoly imd special privilege, we face a defeat as bitter as a victory for Axis Arms.--Edgar F.

Tenderly and patiently he was ^nursed back to health, and when the |day came that he was to leave the Loom in which he had spent so many weary weeks, they both knelt and gave thanks to Almighty God for His answer to prayer. It was a truly penitent and humble Kay who sat beside her husband on their home-vard journey. As they drove up the long avenue of trees, the lights burning brightly in their home and the good faithful collie, who had waited so long for their return, barking a joyous welcome, Joe was carefully assisted from the care and as they entered the big hall they both exclaimed almost in the same breath, "How good to be home again." The lamps seemed to burn more brightly and the rooms seemed to be warm and welcoming When the evening meal was finished and they sat before the open fireplace, Kay's golden head resting on Joe's fhoulder; looking up into his kindly face, with tears in her eyes she said "Joe, dear, I never knew before how the prairie can shine under a red moon, nor how precious life and love can be. I nearly had to lose them both to find out."
