The mission schools are still the onlg schools in most parts of the island. On that day 90 peoâ€" ple were baptized and several deacâ€" ons were dedicated for service in their villages. The tower in the new school has a li{ht set in it, which is visible for miles llonilfln coast and is a l'ymbol of the light of the gospel, for which the new Mrs, Christie told how people managed to reach such remote and scattered islands. Captain Cook was the discoverer of tgese islands when on his way to find Australia. In the 18th century, France, Gerâ€" many and Spain colonized these islands and improved conditions so that cannabalism and infanticide decreased very much. Captain Cook brought missionaries and missions were founded to remake life in the islands. John Williams was the first missionary to land on the islands and his work still lives even though he was murdered. John G. Paton and John Chambers were other missionaries who were atâ€" tracted to the islands. They saw that civilization without Christianiâ€" zation would never civilize savages. In 1835 missionaries were sent to the Fiji Islands where was found a degeneracy not to be met with in any other place in the world. in 1937 the result was that 99% of any other place in the world. in 19;7 the result was that 99% of the n a t i v e populations were Christians. ~‘The Dorothy Pearson Auxiliary September meeting was held at the home of Mrs. MacDonald, Queen‘s drive, with Mrs. Chapman presidâ€" ing. After the business was disâ€" posed of, Mrs. Pawson took charge of the programme. Mrs. White acâ€" companied by Mrs. McKelvefr sang very sweetly the beautiful solo, "Spirit of God". The new study ook, "West of the Date Line" was oduced by Mrs. Pawson who read extracts from her son, Hugh‘s letters, which mentioned several islands spoken of in the new book. These islands were pointed out on a large map. "West of the Date Line" means west of the 180th meridian, the International Date Line, where it is Tuesday on our side but Wednesday on the other side. The "Life Line" from the United States to the South Pacific which runs from Hawaii through Samoa, to the Fiji Islands, to New Caledonia and Australia, and a line from Samoa to the New Hebrides and to New Guinea were also pointâ€" ed out on the map. _ _ .

More than $20,000 was spent on footwear in the nast year it was announced. The mayor paid tribute to the British neople. "who were determined to stand and stand alone if necessary, that the freedom of the world might stand. "You will never know what it has meant to them to realize to thefull that they had friends over here willing to spend themselves that the necessities of life might be provided," he said. He expressed the hope that in the days followâ€" ing victory, the order would play as great a part in the reconstrucâ€" tion, as it had during the war.

Mayor Jack Allan atâ€" tended the meeting and mentioned in coninection with the subject of Weston‘s growth that the total building permits issued for this year up to September, was almost $5000 more than the same period last year. "To date in 1944," he said, building permits is s u e d amount to a total of $138,389." There is every indication that, despite the heavy carrying charge on the war debt and the cost of new services, pensions, etc., both corporate and individual taxation will decline in proportion to the savings which are affected through Meanwhile, as indicated at the manufacturers‘ meeting, the taxâ€" ation rroblem, postâ€"war, â€" looms large. In the United States a new Ruml plan is put forward. _ An earlier one, affecting personal inâ€" come taxation was partly adopted here, but so far there is no sugâ€" gestion of copying the latest one. That would be to largely do away with the corporation tax, allowin the sharehofiers to pay it througg individual incomes. It is claimed that this would enable consumer costs to be lower and wages higher. demobilization. This is because the political sitâ€" uation will resume, at the end of January, or whether it will be disâ€" solved before then, is not definitelg known. If, however, the war wit Germany goes into 1935 as the British Prime Minister indicated, and if the election is deferred till it is over, the outlook as of the moâ€" ment is not stimulating to election prosgecu. Thus the possibility of another session increases. The excess profits taxâ€"a full hundred per cent of the excess above normalâ€"is to go as soon as the war is over. That much is defiâ€" nite.
