iMborttf 69th Year No. 39 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26th, 1935 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U.S.A. The Coming Election "When the leader of a government, or his policies become unpopular with the masses in Canada, he is removed from office by the ballot, but c In Louisiana recently a bullet was used instead of a ballot. Rumor has it that the political situation was monopolized by Huey Long that the people could not be sure of having their ballots counted. This is a dition of affairs which is unknown in this country. In Canada the people can register their convictions at the polls and be sure that the will of the majority will previail. It has been said that only when citizens become careless of their sacred privilege of determining who and what policii shall govern them do they invite ditictator to arise and surpress their essential liberties. It is only three weeks until Canada goes to the polls. We do not tell you how to vote, but we sincerely urge upon you that you think the situation over and then vote for these you think will safely Bee us through.

The regular meeting of the Young People's League was held in the hall on Tuesday evening, September 17th, 1935, with an attendance of thirty-six. The meeting opened with the hymn, "I Am Thine," O Lord," and the Lord's PTayer in unison. The Scripture was given by Miss Mary Broomfield. Rev. A. Armstrong gave a short explantion of the Scripture, and then in a few words expressed the regret of the League in the loss of one of our members, Mr. Bill Glimmer, who is leaving for Toronto University shortly. Our President, on behalf of the League, wished Bill all the success and luck which he deserves, and the League showed their approval with loud applause. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The meeting next week will be postponed from ight till Wednesday, be-of Sharon Anniversary supper. The meeting will be in charge of Bill Thomas and the Citizenship group. The hymn, "Jesus, Saviour Pilot Me," was the nsung. Marjorie Mutton was in charge of the topic, "Why Christian Missions,' which dealt with the lives of our early missionaries, including 'The Life of St. Paul," read by Miss Helen Trottman; "The Life of Augustine," read by Charlie Trottman; "The Life of Wm. Carey," read by Mr. Ross Wright; "The Life John Patton," read by Mrs. C. Dudley. Miss Adele Chapman favoured with two of her ever-popular songs. Misi Fern Stickle gave an excellent pape the Life of Livingstone. Rev. A Armstrong gave a short talk which, was an urgent appeal to the young people to help, even to a point of personal sacrifice, support and keep alive Missionary work. The orchestra gave a selection which was heartily encored. Miss Mutton then conducted an exciting relay. The meeting closed with the hymn, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," and the Mizpah Benediction. BULBS HYACINTHS DAFFODILS TULIPS J. BELL "Vox Nostrae Scholae" Recently radio networks have I going out of their way to etherize programmes whose main asset is theff uniqueness, and while vagrantljr turning the dial the other night stumbled into a broadcast of a lege "guy's" meeting direct from a*i lege campus in North Carolina. we know this doesn't concern C. S., but since it concerns schools general you and I and the ice-n will take a peep into a college "guys" meeting to see what makes the wheels go around. To begin with, it's the eve of the opening game of the local gridiron season. The purpose of the "guys" meeting is presumably not only to instil tlie college pigskin toters with that "up and at 'em" spirit, but to the students generally to tile spirit of the fall pastime. The College cheer leader is "em-celing." He introduces the chairman of the athletic committee, the presi-" dent of the senior class, the captain and various other members of the football team. These respond with short, snappy speeches, like this one for example: "There are 685 students in College, only 11 men can take the field, but 674 will be doing their best in the stands." Between speeches the College band effers stirring martial airs, which are in accordance with the nature of programme. The most important feature of a "guys" meeting, however, is a rehearsal of the College yells, which are of various sizes and assortments. The cheer leader seems to be able to trot forth a yell for practically every situation his football bushies may encounter on the playing field. The meeting on the whole is brisk, snappy, vigorous, and calculated to .-wing the students into the pulsating tempo that is always associated with College football stadiums. A letter from Alex. Grant, graduate of C.H.S.. and now in a branch of the Canadian army, indicates that he jfe busy absorbing signals. Helen Usborne and Alex. Kells have been on the sick list for the past week.
