VOL. 63; NO. 22 FLESHERTON. ONT., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1943 W. H. Thurston & Son, Publisher! Blood Donors Needed Flesherton's second Blood Don/ors' Clinic is being held on Wednesdav of next week, Nov. 3rd, and it is hop- ed that there will at least be ninety people who will volunteer in this im- portant work. At the first clinic over eighty blood transfusions were made. Let either Howard Milligan or Mrs. F. ,B. Keys know of your intention. jAn important message was sent out by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Allied Commander-in-Ghief in the Mediterranean, calling upon civilians for more blood donations. "Time is precious out here" he haid. "For the lack of -plasma, men die. To it they owe the gift of life itself Our re- serves of plasma are being drained by the growing offensive. To every citizen I carry this anneal from the soldiers who are your friends and relatives fighting far from home. "Give your blood that we, too. may be assured our chance for life." This is perso:.al apipeal to each one of us. If we can't fight let us give our blood so that a soldier mav have the chance to live. Card of Thanks The family of the late Mrs. Ellen Parker wish to thank their neighbors and friends for the many expressions of sympathy through cards, flowers and in many other ways. Card of Thanks I take this opportunity of thanking the members of the W.M.S. of St. John's United Church for the beauti- ful life memlbership pin which, through Mrs. W. I. Henry, was given me last Sunday morning. I do not feel I was deserving of the kind words and such honor. Again thank- ing you all, Mrs. W. H. Thurston.

RADBOURNE, Warden, County of Grey. Dated at Owen ^ound. this 18th day of October, 1943. '"'"'"^'^ Spoke On India "Radio and airplanes have brought the distant parts of the world so close that we are really beginning to realize that men are brothers in the way that God intended," stated Dr. Lucy Robinson Bryce, M.A., Ph.D., of India, who spoke in St. John's United Church Sunday morning, under the auaoices of the W.M.S. Mrs. Bryce stressed that idea when p-iving her very interesting talk on India, where she and her husband have labored as missionaries for nearly thirty years. India, with a population of 400,000,- 000 people, of which only 8,000,000 are Christians, has many castes. The lower castes, known as untouchables, has the greatest nopulation of any other division. It Is among these people Christ's message is most wel- comed, as it meets the needs of the people and makes them realize that they do not need to ^o all the menial work of India. Dr. Bryce stated that eighty percent of the people of India till the soil, but live in villages. The missionaries teach them the best way of cultivating the soil, raising poul- try and other farm products. Inaia is to have self-government when the war is over. Another of the aims of missionaries in Indda is to establish a Christian home in every villaee, to teach by example what that means to the people. Everyone who learns to read, teaches another, so that old :ind youne are both oupils and teach- ers. Many soldiers in the Indian Annv have won the Victoria Cross and many untouchables, since becom- ing Christians, have risen to high tiositions of trust and responsibility. Although the Christians are so few in nunrbers compared with the rest f India, yet their influence is much greater in comparison. During the service Mrs. W. Thurston wa- presented with a life memlbership pin by the members of the W.M.S. in recognition of over 2f> years of service as president of that organization. Dr. Bryce was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Westcott while in Flssher- ton, and many had the privilege of meetintr her at - reception held on Saturday afternoon at the Parsonage.
