This was to have been done by Reeve Mitchell but he and his depâ€" uty, Mr. Boylen, were detained at another event, but dropped in later in the evening to give the Associaâ€" tion a few words of encouragement.

The Woodbridge Agriculâ€" tural Society officers who are arranging this year‘s fine show for your entertainment, profit and Sleasure are as follows: fficers For 1943 Honorary presidents, _Ellerby Farr, Weston; J. T. Saigeon, Adrift in the South Pacific in three little rubber boats for twentyâ€"one days, Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, American ace, and his party discovered that religion was good for a desperate situaâ€" tion. Captain Cherry, &ilot of the wrecked plane, is reported to have prayed thus: "Old Master, (he‘s uddreuing God) we called on You for food and You delivered. We ask You now for water. We‘ve done the best we could. If You don‘t make up Your mind to help us pretty soon, 1 guess that‘s all there‘ll be to it. It looks like the next move is up‘ to You, Old Master." _ _ â€" â€" So it is when man comes to the end of the human tether, he turns to superhuman power. This is true of any timeâ€"it is ten times true of war time. Soldiers in fox holes declare: "No atheists there"; castaways on rubber rafts maintain "they thought they heard the angels sing"; navigators of shellâ€"swept skies testify that "God is their coâ€"Pilot" and that they are "Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer." _ EMERGENCY RELIGION These exieriences in crisis are geuine. It is just when a man is conscious that his need is great that his appeal has the deepest ring of sincerity,. The Bible puts its stamp of approval on the cry of the desperately in earnest: "There was none to help, then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses." "It was the penitent thief on the Cross who received from the dying Saviour the pardoning word: "This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise." While a man does find God in emergency, there is no guarantee that he will be delivered from pain and death. This stark truth had better be faced before the crash comes. As one writer puts it: "God may not deflect the enemy bullet that is seeking the soldier in his fox hole, or guide the searching planes to the microâ€" scopic speck which is man‘s raft in the midâ€"Pacific, or renew the vital spark in a dying motor among the clouds." What then, is God still their coâ€"Pilot? And what about the men who will come out of the fox holes after the war ends, having seen their comrades die in them? God did not rescue all, and it wasn‘t because they weren‘t good enough or didn‘t pray hard enough. Is Faith equal to THAT SITUATION? Moreover, religion to have its full value as "a last resort" in times of peril or affliction must be robted securely in the normal cireumstances of life. It must not become a weapon which is used only in a lifeâ€"andâ€"degth momentâ€"such a weapon, as every military man ‘l‘m(lws. isulialble Lo‘proye‘untru_shyort}‘ly. Prayer is not solely 1 Mess en ce for the hours "when other helpers fail and comforts flee" but for the ordinary humdrum of existence as well. While every genuine thrust of the spirit Godwards should be welcomed, whether it comes on ordinary days or in desperation, nevertheless it is a bit shabby to use God ONLY that way.. A Calamity Call isn‘t the highest of which our human nature is capable. God never intended to be put on the Occasional Visiting List . . 5 The needs of every day, ordinary and extraordinary, should cause us,to keep all the avenues to God open. Church attendance and sincere worship in the sanctuary afford us an opportunity to allow the Higher Energies to filter in. They are longâ€"tested and timeâ€"honored. We discard them at our peril.

In spite of this 60 boys and girls from Wesâ€" ton took part in the Learnâ€"toâ€"Swim Campaign at York Collegiate this summer, July 6th to August 13th, and the "Y" has also helped with the organizing of the Weston War Workers‘ Club.

For organizational pur pose Canada is divided into some & local unit areas, each of which is under a local voluntary War Fiâ€" nance Committee. In all upwards of 100,000 voluntary workers will be at work in this campaign. Of the objective of $1,200,000,« 000, the amount.apportioned to be raised by the general public is $525,000,000, this being distinct from subscriptions by corporations, wealthy individuals, and others inâ€" eluded in the special names list. This means that you and I, of the general public, are called upon to do as well this fall as we did in the Fourth Victory Loan last spring, not bg disposing of our Eresent bond oldil:iz to buy new, ut by making additional investâ€" ments out of available fund, or as is permissable by buying on the in« stalment plan. & Saving bank deposits have rapidâ€" ly recovered from last spring‘s withdrawals for victory bond E:r- chases. . At the end of Agril 3 savings accounts in c banks alone reached $1,926,252212, and notwithstanding the with» drawal of upwards of half a milâ€" lion dollars for the purchase of bonds in the fourth loan, there was in the banks on July 31 last $1,« 825,759,365. No doubt by the time the present campaign is underway, the saving deposits of our peo&: will be well on if not beyond two billion mark. There is abundâ€" ant evidence everywhere that Canâ€" ada is prosperous and its people are ready to take advantage of their ?&ortunity to invest in the new Fi Victory Loan. As we announced last week Wesâ€" ton‘s organization was well underâ€" way and will be ready for action when the proper time comes, viz., Ocho%)er 18.
