M THE SMALL NATION The independent small nation is a myth and presumes the absence of evil in this world. It cannot defend its soil.its institutiiins or its culture. The small old nations of Europe, judged by any human standards, havt grreater justification (for their ex- istence than ha^e the larger ones. They have a high standard of edu- cation, a more nearly distribution of wealth and culture, are le%s suscep table to catastroi^e social upheaval, are more lightly taxed and are better governed; but whether they are hard, civilized and unarmed, like the Danes, or rich and casually armed, like the Dutch, they cannot sustain their ex- istence. â€" ^Dorothy Thompson.

Mrs. J. O. Dargavel is the local registrar and any person I wishing to take one or more of these rrefugees are requested to communi- j cate with her. Quite a number in Flesherton and vicinity have express I ed their willingness to provide homes I for these children and the hope is ex- , pressed by those in charge that many I more homes will be opened to these unfortunate children.

COLUMBA CHURCH PRICEVILLE UNIQUE REUNION HELD .AT HOPEVILLE THURSDAY •1 JUST H\TK I'UBLUITY' Newspapers are continually being asked to do favours for this and that cause; to pay their typesetters to set up column after column of publicity to boost a charity, a business or an organization. While a "dod deal of publicity matter must, of necessity, go into the wastebaskct. much of it is used in every issue. When in turn these same people for whom tho work has been done are asked to return the favour b.v giving those unfortunates who write for a Iving legitimate news to sprinkle in between the publicity for their readers' sake, they are mot with response: "Oh. I just hate pub- licity!" That may be true. But its a little dampening to one's friendly co-operating spirit None of us ever knows when he will need a friend on the papers.
