WM. E. GERRY, Advertising Mgr. « _ Regardless of political opinion or of what statesmen do or fail to do, let us, as warâ€"conscious citizens, prepare for the worst. And if we never employ our newâ€"found skill and useâ€" fulness we shall have the greater reason to be thankful. The following observations may answer your unspoken questions : If you are concerned about those you will accept as superiors your concern belongs in the past. Most of the offiâ€" cers and N.C.O.‘s are thoroughly qualified, capable leadersâ€" genior soldiers who have earned their authority and deserve to be honored. A year in the ranks is the price of a commission now. And the vigorous democracy of an entire battalion in regulation battle dress will soon convince you that the only measure of a man here is his own personal behavior. If the ghastly menace that now threatens our sister dominions ever looms on our horizons most of us would eternally regret inability to resist. If you are the sort who would wish to fight, there are three indispensablesâ€"leadership, training, and weapons. Weapons can and will be produced in minutes, but it will always take months to train men. Leaderâ€" ship and training are available in the reserve now. The orderly room of the Lorne Scots is always open and you can get in touch with the officers in charge by phoning Brampton 162. 1 Can it happen here? I hope not. But since Pearl Harbor there are many thoughtful men who would hesitate to assert that it cannot happen here. As one who has himself enlisted, I urge young men to select the service or regiment you prefer and avail yourself of partâ€"time training now. You will then have the certain knowledge that if the rapacious Hun or his yellow satellites ever menace your home and loved ones you will witness the horror in the only tolerable perspectiveâ€"over the sights of a gun. I feel certain you need not fear embarrassing pressure if you are unable to "go active". If you are disturbed by the possibility of ridicule, 1 can only say that no man need apologize for seeking to emulate the partâ€"time soldiers of Leningrad and Moscow if the need arises here. & I am 44; enlisted "under age" during the last war, and am now serving in the reserve battalion of a local regiment. This is intended to urge the desirability of partâ€"time military trainâ€" ing to men in my own ageâ€"class. To the Editor of The Times and Guide: "ONE WHO SERYVED BEFORE AND IS SERVING NOW". PREPAYMENT OF 1942 TAXES TOWN OF WESTON Complaints are heard often of late regardâ€" ing the 50â€"mile speed limit operative on Scarlett Road at the corner of Lawrence Avenue where the children of Humber Heights school cross four times a day on their way to and from school. There have been several accidents at this intersection for, though the corner has an efficient school guard, not all the childrén cross the road under his direttion. The same 50â€"mile speed limit is in effect as far down Scarlett oRad as the Humber Bridge and is presenting danger hazards to citizens generally as well as to school children. This is a matter which might well have the early attention of Etoâ€" bicoke township authorities and provincial representatives. Speed limits should be reâ€" duced if their enforcement means the loss of human life, and common sense gives the anâ€" swer to the question "Should motorists be allowed to travel 50 miles an hour on a road used habitually by school children?" The answer is NO! The securing of a suitable site for such a parking lot might present a problem but no diffjculty was ever overcome without some labor, and so The Times and Guide would urge that authorities in town take the matâ€" ter of a parking lot under advisement at once. Cars should be kept off the main street at any cost, for it is the town‘s main thoroughâ€" fare and traffic even on a quiet day is heavy. Congestion would be relieved and accidents averted if cars were, as far as possible, placed in safe parking lots away from the centre of the town . A Dangerous Corner becoming increasingly apparent and some esinaoamesanieg the authorities, is being out Weston. With war plants fe}l‘ operâ€" ation in and near the town and every availâ€" able room and apartment taken, traffic of necessity has become heavier. Parking on the main street by storekeepers and others always has been a headache to Weston police â€"the influex of war workers makes this conâ€" dition even more acute, and the latest deâ€" yvelopment is the cry for a community parkâ€" ing lot is that many who live at Thistletown and other outlying points have Wfid their intention of driving as far as Weston, leavâ€" ing their cars here, and commuting to the city by train or street car. Rationing of gasâ€" oline make this imperative in many ‘cases. The result will be still greater congestion and parking space will be more than ever at The need f community wk‘ :‘:slot‘ be.epu.!.ing‘_inc‘l)_‘:l:in‘ly apparent and lou:: forms at the town hall at once as the ranks are filling fast.

Prior to that he made fmgxent trips _ to Freetown and Capetown. His brother, Pilot Officer Douglas Sutherland, 22, is an instructor with the R.C.A.F.

This same Jack should be designated the Ripper (look up the derivation of reeve, meaning a pulley) for he is a ripgini: good eulogist.

The near future should see the beginning of our kindergarten and junior churches on Sunday mornings. The new Sunday school !fmce will be heartily welcomed also. _ The choir, under Mrs. Stewart‘s able leadership, did excellent work. Mrs. Leuty was its guest in the morning and her two solos made a fine contribution to our worship. The guest preacher, Rev. Dr. Gorâ€" don Sisco, secretary of the General Council of the United Church, gave an inspiring sermon from the text, "A new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness", and showed the inâ€" di?ensable place of the Church and of Christian in shaping things to come. In the evening, Rev. Kenneth Beaton held his large conâ€" gregation in eager interest as he showed that the only worthy amâ€" bition for a follower of Christ was to work and live so that all men might be made perfect in Christ. His illustrations from contemporâ€" ary China, India, and London, were exceptionally good. We were joinâ€" ed by many friends from Central United, whose service was canâ€", ce]}}ed that they might attend. . Presbyterian Our eifihty-third anniversary services will be remembered for a long time. It was a time of thankâ€" fulness for a long history of witâ€" ness to the eternal truths of the gospel, and of rededication to a future of service when Christianity must count more and more in the remaking of the world. There have been many changes in the span of time that Westminster represents; thereâ€" must be many more, and more far-reachinf ones, before "the Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Cfirist."
