This would, indeed, be a s]>lendid thing for our village and for the young people. It i.s well worth the time for the fathers and mothers of the boys and girls to look into this matter and, if pos- sible^ do everything they can to give their children band experience. More opportunities for profitable employ- ment are offered to the person who can play a musical instrument and it directs the youth ulung musical lines which give expression to the person- ality of the musician. While Flesb- erton might be called a small place for such an organization, great sue cess has been achieved in communi- ties just as small and an effective organization built up. A delegation Is to interview the high school board this Wednesday evening for the pur- pose of sponsoring or lending their aid to the formation of a band here. We hope the Board will think fav- orably of the idea and conduct a sur- vey of possible membership. where will you draw the line between defence and offence. If the Empire is threatened, as it is at present, the best defence is a vigorous offence, and if a declaration by the Canadian government of its whole-hearted sup- port to Great Britain would show Hitler the feeling in the largest Do- minion and prevent aggression against the Empire, we say that Canada should come out and definitely pledge herself to support atid continue the British ideals and freedom we now enjoy. STAND WITH GREAT BRITAIN The past week has been one of worry to France and Great Britain, with Germany again adding to her territory and announcing an economic agreement with Roumania that pract- ically hands over the natural resources to Germany without argument. Italy is backing Hitler's aggression and makes demands from France for some of her African possessions that would make Mussolini the practical ruler jf the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal. France definitely states that she will vener hand over these possessions without a fight. What is to become of the world? Germany, Italy and Japan aie three of the strongest countries today and apparently the other powers are reluctant, for var- ious reasons, to attempt to enforce their demands that these countries cease their depredations of smaller und weaker nations. 'While Franco and Gi'eat Britain have not received definite demands for territory it will only be a short time until they wih be called upon either to grant the demands or fight to protect the solid- arity of the Empire. Australia, South Africa and other possessions have given definite assurance to Great Britain of theii- loyalty and assistance when the crisis comes. Canada has remained passively in the background in regard to definite eomnullment, Premier King in the jiasi statinjr that Canada woyld not participate in any continental wai-, but only in defence of the Knipire. The question is EDITORIAL COMMENT The quick action of the Flesherton Fire Brigade in the Mathewson fire last week and the splendid results of their work should have an influence with the Fire Underwriters' Associ- ation in reducing insurance rates in town. EUGENIA Mrs. Cutler and son, Eddie, have returned to the "Eugenia House'' where she will be employed. Mr. P. Munshaw expects to arrive shortly from Niagara Falls where he spent the winter months. Thirty-eight were in attendance at the Y.P.U. last week when an inter- esting program was given. Mrs. Les. Ferris of Fenelon Falls is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Sloan. We are pleased to report Mrs. R. Gorley recovering from her illness. Miss Esther Magee is visiting her at present. Miss Doris Fawcett has returned home after visiting with her sister, Mrs. T. Hazard. Miss Christina Magee of Brewster's Lake and Miss Lillian Magee, Flesh- erton, were home for the week end. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Genoe and Mrs. C. Goddard attended the party for Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Pattinson (Blanche Genoe) in Flesherton Friday night. Mr. and Mrs. Norval Betts will move to the property which Mr. Ed- gar Betts purchased recently from .Mr. A. Williams in the village and Mr. Shortt will not move to this prop- erty as intended as Mr. Betts has turned it over to Norval. Mr. and Mrs. A. Williams are now moving to the Betts farm on the 8th line. We will miss them from the village but our best wishes go with them to their new location. Mr. Ernest Fen wick of the 12th line visiteti a few days with Mr. J. Park. Miss Evelyn Campbell has gone to .Markdale where she has secured a position. We are pleased to I'eport that Mrs. Ilane.v is able to be up again after iui illness of thi-ee weeks. The Y.P.U. will have charge of the I'vening service next Sunday. The W.A. held its meeting at the home of Mrs. 'Will Gordpn on Thurs- day afternoon of last week. After a .liscussion of business matters lunch was served an<l a half hour spent in •ocial chat. The April meeting will he held at the home of Mrs. W. Magee, The vicar and the squire were walking together after the morning service. Suddenly the vicar, very peeved, burst T)ut: "Did you hear Rohmson snoring in church this morning?" "Yes, I did," wa.s the siiuire's re- I)ly_ "the scoundrel woke me up."

And, third, we should be will- ing to assume some responsibility for the disaster in other parts of the ivorld by sheltering a proportion of refugees. All these we could do on our own. In addition, Mr. Woods- worth advocated the use of existing machinery of collective peace action, in seeking peace through consultation und conference. My personal concern over the inter- national situation is great, but I can- not say that I am surprised by the recent action of Hitler. Before Mun- ich he had shown that his pledged woi'd meant nothing to him, and I could not then, or since, understand people who ti-usted in his assurances. It seemed to me that the three aero- plane trips made by Mr. Chamberlain to Germany to visit Hitler could have no other effect than to still further inflate his colossal ego. It was a psychological blunder and, in addition, an economic one. We handed him the great fortifications of Czecho-Slovakia and the Skoda 'Works on a silver platter. We speedily armed our en- emies. I remember the Duchess of Athol saying on the day Chamberlain took his first flight "Hitler will not stop until he reaches the Black Sea." 'â- \^iU The remainder of the week has been almost totally spent on the details of the trade treaties, the items af- fected by the change in tariffs. One exception was a discussion on the ever-increasing importation of veg- etable oils. It is the privilege of any member to present grievances on going into supply, or, rather, refusing to go into supply (vote money) until the grievance has been stated. Mark Senn, Conservative member for Haldimand, very ably argued against free entry of vegetable oils, as injurious to agriculture. The im- portations have increased from eighty- four million pounds in 1933 to two hundred and fifty-five million pounds in 1938. These oils enter Canada in steamer loads at a very Jow price, absolutely free of duty, except three per cent excise tax. The vegetable shortening produced from vegetable oils and sold in Canada last year (one hundred and fifty thousand pounds) was sufficient to account for the abnormal surplus of butter we have on hand, Mr. Senn said. And, in addition, vegetable oil shortening displaced lard and tallow to a very large extent. Several members supported the idea that there should be a tax on the oils coming in. But Mr. Dunning, replying for the government, stated that he couldn't do anything about it until the report of the Tariff Com- mission came down. They had given prolonged and careful study to the subject, which he said was a comp- licatetl and dill'ieult one. Mr. Dunning said that he was not anxious to give the Con.servativea an- other "New Zealand butter deal just prior to an election." If all goes well, I will have been to Vancouver and back before this •irticle, which has been written piece- meal in a very hectic day. is printed. I leave at ten o'clock to-night on the good wi'i flight of the Trans-Canada Airways. We expect to arrive in Vancouver at noon to-morrow «nd leave again on Sunday in the etrly evening. It seems impossible but next week I will tell you all about it. It is an exciting way to celebrate one's birthday. OTTAWA Friday, March 24th, 19;?i). â€" AGNRS C.

The black flies and the mosquitoes made her determined and weak, but very determined. If she fell, the flies were more to be feared than the wolces. She would go mad if any- thing happened that she couldn't keep on the move. But she warmed the pork and beans and canned sauerkraut over a little fire on the rocks and ate and ate and ate. She became strong and went back to Amos with a great and holy secret in her breast. She risked almost her last cent on her ability to pronounce a few words of English. She would go to Toronto and try out those few words on the chance of a grubstake. She must have said the woixls all right. She, came back with the grub- stake and fourteen claims in Fournier Township. Then she promptly sent her backer fifty-one per cent interest in the claims. With some other odd claims here and there she sold out her interests for around forty thous- and dollars.. Inuformation gathered from pros- pectors had produced very good re- sults. Not so with tips on the stock market, which seriously depleted her new found wealth. The prospectors' stories had proven true. But not so the suave talk of a Montreal promoter who talked himself into a partnership in her restaurant in Amos. She had just enough to pay the last of the bills amounting to $26,000 while the promoter was disappearing with the assets. Only once in the bush was she really afraid. Alone through the choking smoke of a bush fire, she had run as far through the spruce woods as her strength would take her. She threw the tump line from her forehead and dropped her load of sup- plies, including her little tent. She could hear the roaring fire on three sides. It was seven miles to Blouin Lake.

March 24th. Although road con- ditions were very poor, there wa.s a good attendance, the receipts amount- ing to $1 1.35. Children were admitted free. Mr. .Mex. Oarruther.i, who has been affiliated with the choir for over foi'ty years, ably acted as chairman. The program consisted of vocal and orche.stral music by the choir con- tests, readings and stunts. Mr. Gar- net Magee won a bag of flour, Mr. 'Wilfred Magee a cash prize and Miss Dorland Campbell also won a prize. A hearty vote of thanks was tend- ered MisB Dinsmore, assistant organ- ist and leader, for the time and trou- ble she had taken in preparing the program. After the concert the choir enjoyed a social hour in the basement. Miss Dinsmore voiced her apprecia- tion to the choir for their hearty co-operation.
