An allâ€"out war effort calls for a halt in this increasing | gambling. | Canadians wagered $25.4 millions in pariâ€" mutuel betting at supervised race tracks this year, as compared with 21.3 millions in 1941. The increase was registered despite a decline in the number of days racing to 275 from 282 last year. Ontario tracks provide the bulk of Canada‘s horse betting with wagers of $16.9 milâ€" lions being placed in comparison with 1941‘s $13.6 millions.

He did not expect the Axis The Beveridge Report on postâ€" war social services in Great Britain has been published in London, and on the first day 70,000 copies were sold to British citizens who wished to closely study its provisions. It has been generally hailed both in Britain and abroad as a step forâ€" ward toward true democracy, It does illustrate, as any who have read it will readily see, a desire to abolish poverty, need, and unemâ€" ployment, His words should restrain comâ€" placency, particularly here on this side of the water. The Statesman has repeatedly envisioned a seven years‘ conflict. "With luck" we might beat Hitler by 1944 or 1945. Then there‘s Japan after that, a tough, cruel foe. With Europe liberated it seems logical to assume that all the fighting ships of Briâ€" tain and America, of Holland and France, could be massed in overâ€" whelming strength against the Japs‘ dwindling navy and merâ€" chant vessels. Every last ship of the yellow horde could be sunk within the space of months, using ships and planes in one conâ€" centrated sweep. Then would come the mopping up among the farâ€" flung islands. Japan would be overwhelmed completely. This picâ€" ture holds reality. Let‘s keep it in mind. It might strengthen our will to win for the job‘s got to be done. THE BEVERIDGE REPORT The Commonwealth‘s greatest overseas soldier and statesman, Jan Christian Smuts, prime miniâ€" ster of South Africa, is now in Britain. Lately he was accorded a distinction _ no other Dominion prime minister has ever achieved. By invitation he addressed a joint sessions of Commons and Lords on the war and the peace. Later he met and was interviewed by repâ€" resentatives of the press of almost all the United Nations. He fought Britain in the South African war. He fought "at the side of" Britain as a soldier in the last great war and later sat at the peace conferâ€" ence. His word carries great weight everywhere in this war and in the peace to come. WwHEN WILL IT END? to collapse from within which meant heavy and severe fighting ahead. All this war forecast after the smashing victories in North Africa. His warning applied genâ€" erally to the struggle against Hitler. As for the far east he inâ€" dicated that the blows to be dealt Japan would come later, probably through China. WM. E.

All members [oin{ are requested to please bring their sugar. _ . â€" The weekly Sunday meeting of ‘the Y.P.S. was in the form of a radio Quiz. Mr. Bob Taylor and Mr, Dave Eadie conducted the programme and it turned out to ‘be a very humourous meeting. The questions were made up in such a way that it was appropriate for a citizenship meeting. The boys batâ€" tled against the girls and at the halfway point the boys led 75 points to 10. The girls made a strong finish and defeated the boys 115 to 110. Mr. Bert Avery whose meeting it was, had Christâ€" mas carols for hymns during the worship service. The Scripture was taken from Luke 2: 1â€"24 and Matthew 2: 11â€"19. _ At the business meeting, Mr. Bob T?lor suggested and it was later adopted, that for the Christâ€" mas party, instead . of going Carolling, we should give the money to some society, e.g. "The Aid to Russia Fund". it was also announced that there would be a Christmas letter_sent out to the member. _ Mr. Taylor announced that all those going to the Christâ€" mas Party, meet at the church at 7.15 p.m. on Christmas Eve in Many of us who live on this side of the Atlantic; both north and south of the Americanâ€" border, sometimes look upon old England as a bit old fashioned and out of date. But in the social revolution. or should it be evolution, Great Britain has led the way, and it is leading again with the Beveridge report. _ It would be a tremendous pity should we fight this war, and not make it the turning point in the new way of life under the demoâ€" cratic plan, The British race has always â€" preferred â€" evolution . to revolution, and the war presents an opportunity to evolve from the one stage of democracy to a higher plane of living in which many of the abuses of the past will disâ€" appear and men will have an opâ€" portunity to prove again that democracy is still the soundest form of human government. tilities cease. Great Britain has had health inâ€" surance for nearly 30 years. It has had unemployment insurance for more than 20 years.

The manufacture of ophthalmic glass is an intricate procedure, composed of many stepsâ€"a proâ€" cedure which incorporates knowlâ€" edge and skill built up through the centuries. Glass manufacture beâ€" gan in China over a thousand years ago. Toâ€"day it has reached a peak of perfection. â€" The ingredients of ophthalmic glass are silica, lime, barium, lead, and other components determined by the type of glass required. These ingredients are heated for twentyâ€"four hours in clay pots, until they are in a molten state. Now the molten glass is poured onto a huge steel table and rolled out into a glowing red sheetâ€"a sheet of onhthalmic glass, After being carefully cooled it is marked and divided into squares which are subjected to the first of many exâ€" aminations _ for â€" quality. The squares that pass the insnection are now shaved and molded in an oven. Now they are called blanks. These blanks are ground and nolished to become perfect lens blanks which are sent out, after many more inspections, for preâ€" seription use.

The hymns, the music and the serâ€" mon, all dealt with the Christmas story and its spiritual significance. It was a happy day in which we were deeply conscious of God‘s Spirit in our midst. What a conâ€" trast in a world at war to hear the story of "Peace on earth goodwill toward men." Only as our hearts are ready to receive thilJJenc. can there be goodwill toward one anâ€" other. Christ must be born in our hearts. We must receive His messâ€" age of love and goodwill before we can show this to others.

We trust the habit of regâ€" ular attendance will be maintained throughout the years so they may grow u{n to be the men and women who will make our nation a better place to live in. The sermons were stimulating as the minister spoke on "God‘s Unspeakable Gift" and in the evening on "The Light That Showed the Way." May all of us like the wise men of old find our way to the Christ Child and there give Him our alleiiance. "Tis not enough that Christ was This Sunday will be Christmas Sunday. Special services will mark the day. At the morning service the minister will speak on "The Birth of the Wonderful." Our two choirs will present the Christmas story in song. A candlelight and carol service will be held in the evening at seven o‘clock. Some of our younger members will present a_ brief pageant service entitled "Yuletide Bells." Special music will be given by junior and senior choirs. These will be the happiest and finest services you have ever attended. Come and join us.

TIMES AND GUIDE The subject of Sunday‘s sermon might have been "Ideals and Facts". It was a story of conâ€" trasts. Jesus coming, the Babe who / should bring Ynce and joy to an oppressed world; His coming heralded by angels; fiis presence sought by the Wise Men as the justification of these ideals. Opâ€" posed to this was Herod, the King of Judea, hearing of the birth, sending soldiers to slay all the young children of Bethlchem and Judea that he might suppress this rival to his tyrannical power, High idealism ll‘l({ brutal facts _ The same condition exists today with Nazism and Facism trying to stamp out liberty and freedom. Down through the ages there has always been a Herod for every ideal. But courage, a great ideal in itself, with God‘s help, will enable us to defeat the Herods. The choir sang "God Reigneth," an anthem carryâ€" ing the theme of the sermon in song. St. Andrew‘s, Thistletown, are holding their annual carol service at 8 p.m. next Sunday, and St. Matthias, Scarlett Rd., will hold theirs at 7 p.m. At both these churches the choir and organist are preparing special music and there also wifi be enjoyable and inâ€" teresting services. On Christmas Day itself the services will be as follows: Servâ€" ices of Holy Communion will be held at the Hospital for Sick Chilâ€" dren, Thistletown, 6 a.m.; at St. Andrew‘s, Thistletown, 7.30 a.m.; at St. Matthias, Scarlett Rd., 8.30 a.m.; at St. Philip‘s, Weston, 10.30 a.m. The rector hopes that these services will be well attended and that every communicant will enâ€" deavor to get to the Lord‘s Table on Christmas Day. _ â€" Thistletown United Thursday afternoon the Woman‘s Association met in the Sunday School rooms. It was the Christâ€" mas meeting and the roll call was answered by Christmas verses. The story of the Nativity was told by Mrs. Johnston. She interâ€" spersed it with fitting Christmas carols. The annual election of ofâ€" ficers was a mere formality since the entire board was returned by acclamation, Mrs. Cook gave a financial report showing that the association had completed its obâ€" ligations to the church property board. Mr. Peters came with a Christmas message. It was parâ€" ticularly suitable to this year of unrest and strife. Beginning with the story of Jesus‘ birth he came to the. words, "I was a stranger and ye took me in". As an illusâ€" tration he told ‘the story of an American living in the Orient. His return to America with an Oriental wife and two children; their treatâ€" ment at the hands of relatives and friends and their subsequent reâ€" turn to Asia was a sad commentâ€" ary on our translation of the Christmas message. On Sunday next, Dec. 20th, therel will be morning and evening servâ€" ice at St. Philip‘s Church. The‘ evening service will be of particâ€" ular interest and will take the form ‘ of a carol service. For some time now the organist and members of| the choir have been preparing | special music for this occasion.| Ample opportunity will be given | the congregation for joining in the singing of many of the fine old] Christmas hymns and carols. It | will be a service of joyous songl and worship, and one that should beget in the hearts of all who parâ€" | ticipate the true spirit of Christâ€" mas. We shall welcome you and' your friends to this service. Be| sure you do not miss it. The church will be beautifully decoratâ€" ed with evergreens and holly, and red berries, and numerous candles will be in use for the evening servâ€" ice, all of which will give a lovely setting for Christmas services. The Evening Auxiliary met at the home of Miss Louise ‘Stewart for the December meeting. The president, Miss Stewart, was in the chair. Mr. Peters Ifflve a talk on "Home Missions". He described the work of the W.M.S. and Misâ€" sion Board of the United Church in Western Canada. This was espeâ€" cially interesting since Mr. Peters was able to give many personal inâ€" cidents from his twenty years of pastoral work in British Columbia and Alberta. Sunday, the 20th, we shall celeâ€" brate our candlelight service. The choir will sing Christmas carols in a candlelight procession and the congregation will join in the hymns and service.
