Rev. Maddocks is believed to be one of the few who have done so. "A Job To Be Done" ___ "Whether or not we like it, we are at war, and there is a job to be done," the pastor told his congre- gation. "We have obligations to the country and to the Empire, which everyone of us has to take and share in the effort whether he be labourer or minister. I have had a feeling [or some time that I should be actively engaged. as the need at present is for more and more young men," the pastor ex- plained. "The air force is the branch of service which appeals to me most of all. and I was surprised to find that I had the qualifications," Rev. Maddocks went on. He pointed out that his desire was to enter service as "one of the boys", and that he would in this way "learn what they are going through". If, at a later date his services as a clergyman were required. he would be in a better position to understand men's Problems. he said. Hates War "I hope I can make the grade and do my part," the minister stressed. Continuing, he emphasized "I hate war. We all hate it, and non of us exalt in any of the terrible conse- quences, suffering and wastage, chiefly of innocent people. which is brought by war, but like it or not, we are realizing increasingly more that we are at war. and there is a tremendous job to be done," lsees Life A Training Ground Appealing for strong faith in God and Christianity.

Canada is committed to large quantities of food for Great Britain-lilo/no pounds of cheese for 1941 and millions of pounds of bacon as well as vast quantities of powdered milk. This means that every wisp of hay must be placed in barns in good condi- tion. and that assistance must be had to garner the grain crop. This cannot be done with the pitiful amount of man power at present available on farms and calls for quick action on the part of men who ‘could spare at least one day a week on a farm in ‘the vicinity of his city, town or village.
