LINEN SHOWER FOR Prominent merchants and linen's organizations' in Toronto-^ many more in the province porting the Linen Shower for Rusi which was opened on .Monday t t by the clothing division of the Ci adian Aid to Russia Fund. ;* The project provides an umisf $ opportunity for people in Ontario » share their household linens, bla^ ets and quilts with the THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY CENTRES By F. D. L. Smith in The Globe and Mail Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf : "Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction." Let us, therefore have all we can get of it--not only for the children in the schools, but also for the adult population in city, tteps to be taken. That gallant soul, Bishop Renison who recently relinquished the largest and most beautiful religious temple in Toronto, to and trappers and Indians among the rocks and ore-dumps of Northern Ontario, has been writing in The Globe and Mail on the need of community centres in the frontier settlements. He urges the Church to "provide a sanctuary near the heart of the town not only for worship, but with clubrooms where people can meet to learn and know each other," a little theatre where young people can rehearse dramatic and musical performances, enjoy the advantages of a library, debate political issues, hear lectures upon and discuss public affairs. This, he feels, is the type of ecntre that will best meet the needs of the lonely North in the long winters and keep alive there the things of the mind and of the spirit. From another angle, Lawren Harris, eminent Canadian painter, emphasis the want of cultural centres in all the Provinces.

A dispatch from Biloxi, Miss., announces her sinking in the Gulf of Mexico about 110 miles south of Mobile, Ala., and the rescue of her nine-man crew by combined flying and marine crews of the 212th Base Unit, Air-Sea Rescue School. Anona was commanded by Capt. A. Gerster, Toronto, He and his crew suffered no more serious hardship than a severe dose of sunburn before being picked up after 43 hours on a life raft. Captain C. E. Redf earn of Colborne, owing to ill health, only resently retired as skipper of the above yacht. THE MERCHANT MARINE We seldom get to learn their names in spite of all they do, They're merely mentioned in the press as "members of the crew," Yet they're the men whose courage, arms and clothes, equips and feeds The boys in every battle zone who do the glorious deeds. We speak of them as Merchantmen, yet when they once set out, No matter where their course may run, death follows them about. We think of them as Merchantmen, but when the war is won They too must share the pride of it for duty nobly done, And when the world is free once more and home the boys from sea, When from the fox holes comes the lads with us once more to be, When from the skies the boys slip down, let all remember then The courage of the glorious youth who sailed as Merchantmen.

' ; ; sacrificing their all that civilization may survive, Christendom expand and human existence become more worthwhile.

John Harrington, of the R.C.N.V.R. The Frigate, H.M.C.S. Eastview, on which Mr. Harrington is serving, was commissioned while she was there and Mrs. Harrington had the privilege of being a guest aboard. erly equipped auditoriums to accommodate public movies, theratical attractions, musical events, concerts, conevntions, banquets and other gatherings. Theatres a Feature In the more populous places in all the Provinces, the memorial buildings should include large and small theatres with proper dressing rooms, stage properties and lighting apparatus. If a chain of such theatres can be built in cities and towns from coast to coast, a majority of Canadians will, for the first time, have the opportunity of entering a real theatre and seeing real plays upon a real stage. Travelling English and American theatrical companies will again go on tour from Halifax to Victoria. Amateur theatricals will once r become popular. The Little Theatre will again thrive. We can think of few developments that will do r for Canada than that which is here indicated. Hint to Governments Another consideration, already noted in these letters, is that it is in villages and towns that public movements can best be got under way. This is, no doubt, partly cause counter-attractions are fewer and there is less to distract public attention. The community that possesses a civic centre given over to the arts and the public welfare is on road to a better understanding of what makes for the national welfare. When Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments get around to the business of allocating public funds for reconstruction purposes after the war, they should see that reasonable sums are made available for war memorials in the form of local art and community centres. CHILD FATALLY INJURED BY TRUCK regrettable accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon, when a creamery truck, from Trenton, which was picking up cream at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Fitchett, north-east of Castleton, acicdentally backed over their two-year-old son, Glen Arnold, who unseen by the driver, was play-ig with a dog. A doctor was called imemdiately and the child rushed to Cobourg Hospital, where he passed away shortly after being admitted. Funeral services were conduted in Castleton United Church by the Rev. •Bishop, this, Thursday, afternoon. Interment was at Vernonville Cem- is a real temptation to adopt a cynical attitude to all the talk one hears of a "good world" to-day. The Atlantic Charter does seem like a bvely dream in a world of unlovely realities. So the cynics call Christ "a dreamer of impossible dreams." Yet, be sure of this, it is Christ the realist. He did not base His hopes for a good world either on man's wisdom or his strength, but upon his faith in God. It was "God's" Kingdom that He prayed for. Isn't it a fact; whatever we may say of the idealism of Jesus; this world will never be a Christian world until men treat each other in a Christian way. "Rise up, O men of God! "His kindgom tarries long; "Bring in the day of brotherhood, "And end the night of wrong." --Merrill. Our Prayer-- Teach us oh Christ what it means that the Kingdom is within us. May our characters declare it and our conduct show forth its glory through all our days. Amen.
