He explained. the work accomplished. by the women of Weston, the amount of which has been contributed and douâ€" bied its value by these women in makâ€" ing it into goods. . He drew attention to the increased "‘cost and the, great need. :/ Je * § ‘ A big audience faced the cold wind of Saturday njg'ht’:}and attended ‘the Westminster Pres@yterian Church, Nearly, 500 were present, which is a large representation for 2500 people.

Thistleâ€" This year we will_require ... to.catry on the same work Stowi ADivie & 1. n €.0 m ce Tp. of York,Downsview Div Mt.Frank Oldfield was the vocalâ€" ist" of the evening, â€" His: excellent voicd and splendid selections added to the treat of the evening. But more must be contributed to let“this work advance. His appeal was,strong, short and to the point. Dr. G@itmour, who spoke next, made a very.able and strong address in his quiect â€"and unassuming finished style. His welcome. was most hearty and spontaneous. “Th'e,‘:tend,ency of great events is ‘to "obscure the great events that, came before."â€"â€"Erancis | Parkâ€" inson. He gave a review of the war, to impress the great need , of Red Cross ) work andâ€" impressed â€" very strongly. upon his hearers the necessiâ€" ty of going beyond last year‘s splenâ€" did record. For centuries past Bel-! gium has been the keystone in the. peace arch. The central powers formâ€" ed a treaty to maintain this keystone. One‘"of the family whose atrocious, diabolical, and grasping aims one day caused her to jump at the throat of Belgium. She offered â€" Belgium every bribe possible to try and buy her over. It was necessary for Belâ€" gium to choose between death or disâ€" honor. Her noble king replied to the enemy‘s advances. . It would be better to lose all than. lose my soul. â€"As Canadians in this, conflict we must be. careful how we keep our souls. When England realized what the inâ€" vasion of Belgium meant she joined in the conflict.. During the last three years upon the British Empire has fallen the security of the British race. Why has England given this typeâ€" "It us the jand of patriots, martys, sages and bards, and, if the ocean out of which it emerged should wash _it away, it will be remembered as an Island famous for immortal laws, for the anrouncement . of original right which make the stone tables of Liâ€" berty." Ralph Waldo Emerson. But England was not left alone in the strife. The colonies flocked to her aid. Canada‘s part and Canada‘s reâ€" cord we know. Imperishable records have been handed down by our own brave soldiers Where were you in â€"the fight?â€" Up with the Canadians! is often the reply. â€" Some will not reâ€" turn, few there. be who will become famous, but allâ€" have considered our lives worthy of the cause for which they have been willing to sacrifice all, even to life itself. s Part of Roosevelt‘s speech in Toâ€" ronto quoted here:â€" In alits great history, the British Empire has accomplished no_ task quite as great, ‘aâ€"nd none fraught with more lasting benefit to her own peoâ€" ple, and to the ‘cause of orderly liâ€" berty throughout the world, than the task! of the last three and a quarter years. . In doings this task, a part of extraordinary sigjnificance has beer} played by the free, overseas commonâ€" wealths of the @®mpire; by Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the Ocean Islands. > T speak the Jiteral truth when I say what has been accomplished by you Canadians and by your brothers of the continentg\and islands which lie under the Sb‘,‘%hern Cross, is withâ€" out a parallel in history. You and they have sent your stalwart sons in hundreds of thousands across the vast oceans, downâ€" beyond the rim of the world, to fight on fields of ancient fame which their deeds have renâ€" dered still more famous. Dr. Johnâ€"McCrea of, Guelph, who spent his time in the front trench, gave utterance to this [beautiful senâ€" timent: 1 3 On Flander‘s fields the poppies blow Between the mosses, row on row, That mark our places, and in the sky ‘c2. 5 The larks still bravely singing fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead, short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved, and were loved, but now, We lie in Flanders fieldsâ€" Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you with falling hands we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high. $7T779 10000 905 615 548 00 50 0 0 20 0 0 They Subscribed $3445.00 at a ”Smoke't;" Held in Town Hall This Weed The big Canadian Red Cross camâ€" paign is off to a big start Last year the bowlers of Weston gave the initial start to our big campaign, which reâ€" sulted in the collection of nearly $8,â€" 000 for the district._ This year they have even surpassed that mark. At one time it was felt that the bowling elub were not going to get into the game, but once the word was passed around they soon gathered. Over 75 men responded to the secretary‘s inâ€" vitationâ€"to the smoker, «held in the town "Hall. To say that all «enjoyed themselves is weak. . Everybody, had a good time. The genial president, with his smile, the shrewd secretary with his pleasant manners, and the great Willie Banks from parts unâ€" known were the busy bees. They kept things going some. ‘The great quartet, Messrs. Roy, Fraser, Maguire» and Banks, made some picture and renâ€" dered some songs. The cheer leader was right on the spot all the timeg, while W. Greaves kept the piano humâ€" ming. The hit of the evening was the following satire composed and sung by the only Willie Banks. Read it: It‘s a grand old game is bowling Bowling on the green. It‘s a grand old game is bowling, The best we‘ve ever seen. Our forefathers played it, â€" WESTON BOWLERS _ START CAMPMGN RIBHT Played it good and clean, So give three cheers for bo ‘ Bowling dn the green. If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep tho‘ poppies blow On Flanders‘ fields. More ‘effective. still were the last words of a Canadian whajor, who, though shot and knowing he had but a few minutesâ€"to live, called to his officer these few words, "Take Over â€"Carry On.‘" . But do_not let us get the idea that Francg and Rlanders Are theâ€" only places to "carty« on.‘". (Imâ€" mense work s wailing, at our very door for‘us, which means.our time, money and greatest of all» sacrifice. The young man who enlists, crosses the vcean gives his all. The mother, father or wife who bids goodâ€"bye to the loved ones when they go out gives something that only the sufferâ€" ing heart can know. We who only sacrificeâ€"of our paltry dollars know nothing of the greater sacrifice. What is a dollar, a hundred or even a thouâ€" sand dollars to our boy‘s life? Who would not give for such a cause? Do we give as we should? Contrast our givings with the boys, and see. how. we measureâ€"up. We who are living in comort ard in. a land of plenty, have any of us given till we felt it? Do we wear poorer clothes, have less food because of what we have given? Our President is a good « That we‘ve always seen And for a third year term Not what we give, but what we share, The gift without the giver is bare, Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take And stab my spirit broad awake. ¢ Robert Louis Stevenson. This was a strong appeal to those who think. Hon. N. W. Rowell was the next speaker introduced. His address was a strong, logical and consistent apâ€" peal to the people of Weston to seize their glorious opportunity . of doing something.. His words, spoken with a finish that only scholars obtain, and a reality that only the sincere can use, were received and will be treasâ€" ured by those who heard him. He said that he appreciated the kind words accorded him in the introducâ€" tory address, also he was glad to be in Weston and learn of the splendid work being ‘accomplished for the soldiers at the front. The women deâ€" served the greatest tribute of all. The boys who went across took heart beâ€" cause of the sacrifice of the women of Canada, They have been with them from the first. Many a mother‘s heart lies buried in France. God bless the women of Canada. It is an old phrase to say we are facing a grave crisis. Probably for Britain the next six months will be the gro_atest‘ in the history of the war. With Russia out of the conflict greater responsibiliâ€" ties fall on the allies. We can recall Russian services already rendered, but perhaps do not know all they have suffered. Three million have fallen, two millions are prisoners of war, and five million seriously wounded. Thouâ€" sands have fallen without a fair chance. They went into battle withâ€" out munitions, having only clubs and fists to fight. Millions of the people under the new government are thinkâ€" ing now more of their own selfish pleasure than of their country. Rusâ€" sla will have a great place in the world when she asserts herself from the autocratic powers. Let Canada remember Russia delivered from her curse. Do not think too unkindly of her. Russia.dropping out relieves Austria and Germany from defending the east, thus she is free to transfer her forces to the west. Italy was atâ€" tacked as a result and the heel of Russia planted on Italian soil. The French and British reinforcements have been sent out to help the weakâ€" ened western lines. United ‘States entered the war because she realized that peace and liberty were no longâ€" er possible and it will offset the Rusâ€" sian withdrawals. In the meantime Germany will bendâ€" her energies in the west to make peace. This is the supreme testing time. If we but adopt the same urgency as we have in the past we will mobilize such a forece that peace and victory will be the result. But we must organize. (Continued on page 5) Continued on page 4 DR.
