This, he claims, leads to abuses, because of laxity in auditing. Citing a long list of irregularities he presents. to Con- gress and State Legislatures the fol- lowing questions, which he considers as calling for answers: * Why shouldn't annual union elec- tions be required by law? Why shouldn't union members have the protection of a secret ballot in union matters as well as in" political matters ? Why shouldn't it be a felony to stuff a ballot box'at a strike vote, or © a union election, just as much pL to stuff it at the polls? Why~shouldn't regular financial re- ports of union moneys collected and spent be required by law? Why shouldn't such: _statement be verified under oath, and wilful mis- representation be punished, like any other form of perjury or fraud? Why shouldn't independent outside audits of such statements be required by-law? Why shouldn't union officials be re- quired to distribute the opportunities for work fairly among their members ? Why should 't the use of force, in- timidation or misrepresentation be -just- as illegal for-union leadership. as it already is for the employer? Why hsouldn't each labor organiza- tion be required to file with the Na- . tional Labor Relations Board, at least annually, its place of business; the - names and addresses of its officers; their term of office and compensation; the date of their election; the scale of © dues; assessments and fines; latest - findnelal statement; constitution and -- ATE gn Gre by-laws; and any other information necessary to maintain an open and above-board relationship with its own membership, the government, the ress, the employer and the general public? In short, why shouldn't the manage- ment of organized labor now be 1e- quired to take its place in the sun vith the same degree of publicity and ccountability as the management of corporations or of political parties?

Mrs. Jenner took the Scripture reading and gave a very 'fine explanation of the same, Mr. Hingston, who has been study- ing the prophesies of the Bible in particular for fourteen years, dealt briefly on many aspects of the war in connection with Bible prophesy which was all most interesting and as many would like to hear him continue on the same subject, he will speak again in the Church on Sunday afternoon, November 30th at 2.30. Everybody welcome. The men sang "He will hold .me fast" with a good deal of expression. Their two numbers added to the en- "joyment of the evening, "Rev. A.

It was the same among the gunners and guards." A lot of it among the rest of the boys seemed to be the result of worrying about it, rather than anything phy- sical. England is a most interesting coun- try. It is just ms pretty as writers have sald." The little stone fences around tiny fields; the: little brick homes with a bouquet 'of chimneys on each (a separate chimney for each fireplace in each room); the toy-like trains with coal cars that only carry ten tons, with a whistle that sounds like a scared child, with separate pas- senger compartment for each six peo- ple, but speed--do they ever go! We saw some signs of - bombing, but nothing like we expected. After being here for a few days most of the boys were given a b-day landing leave. - They went to points all over, but the most popular spot seems to be Edinburgh, Scotland. They all report the time of their lives, Oné can buy more in the line of sweets and tobacco there than in England. The story is going the rounds that a group of Canadians went to Edin- burgh, and while sitting in the sta- tion counting their money and making plans, one of the Scotch lassies come over to them. She told them to put away their money, that they didn't need it in Scotland, and showed them a real holiday. It is claimed to be a story, but--Scotland ain't what it used to be or else we've been wrong for a long time. One of our first-aid men is going around with a puzzled look on his face since his leave. He is a man of about 43, and during the last war he had a sweetheart here as seemed to he quite the thing, On his leave he found that she was still waiting for him and he is wondering how to ex- plain his seven children in Canada. What would you .suggest? 3 The staff of the first aid post drew lots to see ho they would go on their leave. I drew the third lot, so will be going next week. From what we have seen of Fake people so far they are certainly very friendly. The village near the canip has just about everything that one could wish for in the line of stores, ---------------- stock. They are pretty strictly ra tioned in such things as sweets, métalware of any kind, tobacco, meat and eggs, and a good many other things. Confectionery shops are not plentifully stocked at all, and it is quite common to see tobacco stores closed up with a "For Rent" sign on the door. Fish and chip stores make up the- difference though. You can smell ore or two in every block. Yes, sometimes in the blackout one has to 'use his sense of smell and hope for thie best. They are really black. In the fish and ship stores they charge eightpence (16¢.) for the same size Helping one would get in Canada. - A cup of tea costs a penny (2), coffee costs tuppence (4¢), 'and, cocoa is tuppénce-ha'penny '(be.) So England is not starving.. Not while they can get their fish and thips and tea., And of .course they still get their beer and bitters. 'There are pubs going atrong on almost every street and road. haven't seen as much drunkenness here as in Canada though. Speaking of blackouts--there is a black blind on every window in Eng- land. Inside of this there is another blind of heavy fibre. The edges of the window are painted black about six inches all around. This stops any chance flicker of light from showing around the blinds. The effect is a complete blackness that is so dense you would have to see it to appre-, ° ciate it. Store doorways are boxed in and you enter, turn'to the left, then the right around a false partition, to the" left around another, and if you are lucky you may get into the store without - getting tangled up with a heavy. black curtain or bumping into someone. The blackout is sure black and complete, The papers give the time for blackout each evening and promptly at that time towns that have been, things of beauty during the day become black" smudges. upon a lark landscape, a thing that would be very hard indeed to see from the air.'
