Empire Youth Sunday Observed At Priceville Empire Youth Sunday was observ- ed in St Andi'ew's Presbyterian Church. Priceville, on Sunday morn- ing, when Mr. Wm. D. Halliwell, the minister, spoke o" the challenge and opportunity of the individual. He expressed himself clearly on matters which must be faced, for, as he said, history indicates to us that no gen- eration apparently learns lessons ,in so far that man and men have been at war from age to age and, not unlike our Lord, we are expected to grow up in a grim and way^vard world. Like our Lord, we must face realities as He did. Let Us remember, Mr. Halliwell stated, that refug« and restfulifcss are not the whole of salvation. To share in the kingdom among men, it also means a going-out to a richer, fuller "life," a broader, deeper use- fulness, a larger joy of noble work I in our way of living. The battle for I right and not might will remain. I In concluding his address, Mr. Hal- I liwell stated that today there is a j greater need than ever to lead youth I and all nations of men so that pre- sent and future generations may be activated by high qualities of both heart and mind, and also having that urgent sense of res.ponsiinlity as re- gards universal justice, brotherhood and peace. "May we give inspira- tion in elTect in our living, so to encouragre the youth and all others to share at all times and value the things of the spirit more than mat- erial gain.''

Drew against the Toronto Star. Limited, and Jo- seph E. Atkinson, president. The writ said that the libel com- plained of was published in issues of the Toronto Daily Star on the consecutive dates running from May 25 to June 2. with the exception of May 27. a Sunday. In e.xplaining his reasons for bringing libel action. Premier Drew- said in his statement: "The people of Ontario have given so decisive an answer to the villain- ous attacks which were made upon me by the Toronto Daily Star that I have no need for further personal vindication. But this goes far be- yond a personal issue. "If public men with families, and particularly with young children of school age, are to be subjected to false accusations of a most despic- able character, it will become im- possible to persuade men and women of the kind we need in public life to expose their families and their children to the taunt and abuse which grow out of such slanders. "No matter how false the state- ments may be. they do leave an im- pression with many people who find it difficult to believe that a news- paper which boasts of the largest circulation in Canada could be so utterly unprincipled as the Toronto Daily Star and its publisher have proved themselves in this election. "In the interest of public decency and particularly with the hope that those best qualified may take an ac- tive part in public affairs, I have de- cided that it is my duty to put an end to the outrageous attacks of the kind to which I have been subjected and the libel action which has been commenced today will be pressed to the final judgement for the protec- tion of honest journalism and de- cency in public life.
