"Vox Nostrae Scholae" How true it is that in the general laxity of modeirn times we are gradually slipping into the habit or regulating our time-honoured institutions, such as Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving, to the status of mere national holidays and allowing their intrinsic significances to be buried under other pre occupations. Particularly in a period of s< economic stress such as we are experiencing, many unfortunates think of Thanksgiving with a cynical s as they dismally contemplate an filled fuel-bin, a wrecked household budget and the unpaid tax-instalment. Undoubtedly many have sufficient giounds to warrant complaining, but only when as Canadians in a democratic country we compare our position with less fortunate nationalists in Europe and elsewhere does the term Thanksgiving attain its full signifi- At the moment this article is being penned, election returns are pouring in from all corners of the Dominion. By the time this article is being read Canada will have perhaps returned a different political party to power. But regardless of which way the political winds may blow, it will be a government which is in every sense of the word, democratic. While we by a stroke of the pencil can send a government down to d ifeat, on the other hand a Fascist or a Communist Government can only be turned out of power by sheer force. While we choose our parliamentary representative's from five different parties, in a Fascist country the individual, in plain language, either votes for one party or he doesn't vote at all. In Germany the Nazi Party is beginning a new and terrible ant-Semitic drive, ruthlessly crushing the adherents of Judaism undeir an iron heel. In our country where religious freedom is synonymous with freedom of speech, and of press, it is difficult to comprehend the tragic fact that the German people are struggling to pre-. serve their spiritual integrity in the 1 face of endless persecution. Then again, the freedom that we consider as part of our birthright in a democratic country is practically nonexistent in Germany, Russia and Italy. In those countries the individual is not free to read anything except what has been censored and approved by a higher authority, is not free from being spied upon in his own home, is not free to be religiously inclined according to the dictates of his own Thankful for what on this coming Thanksgiving? Thankful that we have religious tolerance.freedom of thought and of press, and freedom from dictators who would repress all that freedom to which we have become so accustomed that we give it but passing consideration.

Robb Talks on Lloyd George A rich feast was provided for those who had the good fortune to hear the address on Lloyd George delivered by ty Rev. D. A. Robb of Oshawa, before the Senior Club of Colborne United Church on Tuesday evening, October 15th, 1935. With something of the same charm and magic characteristic ai the little Welshman, Mr. Robb described the meeting at the great Central Hall, London, England, where he listened to Lloyd George launch his appeal to the British Nation for greatly increased quantities of guns and munitions that England might go on and not go under and the huge stacks of war material on hand when the armistice was signed was Britain's answer to his appeal. He described also the courage of Lloyd George in the face of great danger, even loss of life itself, as he criticised the Government of the day in connection with South African affairs. The speaker of the evening made it clear that romance was not confined to books, as he traced the dramatic rise of the poor Welsh boy of the Penny School at Cricieth through a Parliamentary career up to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, where he was entrusted with the finances of the Empire, and up to. still higher honors until at His Majesty's command, he accepted the Premiership of Great Britain and with it the responsibility of winning the war. The thanks of the audience was extended to the eloquent lecturer by Rev. Mr. Partridge and Rev. Mr. Rick-ard. The "Cobbler's Song," by Mr. Rick-ard, and an appropriate reading by Mrs. Yerrow, completed the program. w cased her share of the apple trade of the United kingdom bv 26.5 per cent for the first six months of 1935 as compared with the same period, or 12 per cent of the total imports.1 Successful Anniversary Services at Vernonville Largely and Widely Attended--Splendid Messages in Sermon and Song --A Day of Goodfellowship--Services Continued.
