Hampton Church on Wednesday night, Jan. lOth, when the Enniskillen Bro- therhood were the guests o! Hampton Circuit Brote e r h o o d. President Wesley Yellowlees pre- sided with a short worship period and Rev. H. H. Lackey led in prayer. The president welcomed te guests and invited Merle Thom- son, Burketon, President o! En- niskillen Brotherhood, ta take charge o! their program. Several selections o! music from Burketon Orchestra; readings by Frank Mc- Mullen, Merle Thompson, and several vocal selections fromn En- niskillen Quartette, and a number o! guitar selections by Wearn and Stannard were rendered in fine j style. A. L. Pascoe introduced te speaker, Geo. L. Davidge o! the Boys' Training School, who gave a very fine address on "Hobbies." He said everybody should have a hobby and thus use their leisure hours in doing something useful instead o! wasting valuable time. He cited what men like Edison, Stephenson, Bell and many oteers had bronght ta the world jnst through a hobby. Alex MeMaster and J. R. Rey- nolds moved a vote o! apprecia- tien to tee speaker and visitors. A social bal! hour was spent when lunch was served and the Ennis- killen Brotherhood through Revs. Lackey and Harding expressed their appreciation for the fine welcome extended teem. Next meeting will be heid at Eldad, Wednesday, Feb. l4th, and Rev. 'W. F. Banister, St. Paul's Church, Bowmanville, will be te speaker. Doctor: ( complacently') - Von con2yh more easily tbis morning.

My own impression of the cen- sorship is that it is stupid to the point of assininity. This country is not England and the censors neyer seuen to be able to get the difference through their heads. Naturaliy there should be strict prohibition of publication of in- formation of a technicai military nature, knowledge of which might cost actual lives. But to try to stop general news reaching the Germans from Canadian sources when it is simuitaneousiy being published and broadcast south of the border is simply sifly. The most giaring exaniple I know of this silliness was the refusal to lift the clamps on an item scream- ed to, ail the world a week before by Walter Winchell. PRAIRIE RUMBLES 1 wondered before I got to, Saskatoon about the victory of Rev. W. G. Brown who beat the governznent candidate so surpris- ingly. For ail my observation of politics is that government candi- dates do not lose seats in by-elec- tions unless either the govern- ment is siipping badly or the other candidate is a local favorite son. Obviously Dr. Brown is something of the latter in Saska- toon. Also obviously the govern- ment is not slipping throughout Canada as a whole. But my sojourn in Saskatche- wan suggested to me that ail par- ties there are in an unstable state. The-possible implications in the shai-tages ina tee Canteen funds has Inot even percolated through ta the rest of Canada. But con- nected with the charges are two unnaturai deaths of a nature to corne under coroner's investiga- tion and a disappearance as baf- fling as that of Ambrose Small. The whispers are to the effect that there was a political aspect t te transactions. No doubt tee pend- ing judicial investigation will tell whether or not this is so. The Conservatives have an able and personable leader in young Mr. John Diefenbaker. But cir- curnstances are such that tee Con- servatives can get nowhere on te prairies, and most of them know it. The C.C.F. is paralyzed by the behind-tee-scenes r u p t n r e be- tween the factions who occupy te four corners of the map on the question of war pollcy. My guess is that Saskatchewan is one province where almost any- thing. might happen politically in the next few years. ROTARY CLUB (Continued tram page 1) and what followed after iA was necessary before public opinion was aroused sufficientiy enough to demand action and war if ne- cessary. Public opinion before Munich wanted peace and was willing to believe any propaganda teat promised peace no matter wh'at was sacrificed in tee mean- time. After Munich Jan Mesaryk, former ambassador to London o! Czecho , Slovakia, said ta Mr. Chamberlain who retnrned wîte tee slogan "peace in our tinie," "Mr. Chamberlain, if you are right teen God bless yon, if you are wrong teen God heip you." It teerefore becomes clear that tee great weakness o! present day democracy is that public opinion becomes aroused after tee event and seidom before it and for that reason a great deal o! suffering and sorrow, to say noteing o! terrific financial losses, are a di- rect resuit. Public opinion is tee direct concern o! tee individual and as individuals we have direct re- sponsibilities. More effective steps must be taken to build up the terrifie slack now existîng be- tween public opinion and govern- ment. As individuals we must make government our direct re- sponsibility and insist that proper steps be talçen to meet situations as indications and symptoms de- velop and not after tee patient is on his deate bed. Personal freedom and liberty in a democracy is not even worte while without discipline. Oteer- wise it is nothing but license and license Is the direct enemy of democracy and bas created the very forces with which we are now locked in a deate struggie. The individual bas woefully abus- ed what he is pleased ta cali bis personai freedom and liberty. This abuse bas created selfishness and froan the individual it bas spread throughont tee whole fab- ric o! democratic institutions. We have been picking ail tee fruits .of democracy witeout paying any attention ta the cultîvating, fer- tiiizing and pruning and sncb ae- tion is disastrous bote in an or- chard and in a democracy. The only democracy that is worth saving is composed of in- dividuals and institutions wbo have learned teat voluntary dis- cipline reasonably enforced en- sures greater personal freedom and liberty tean a discipline rigid- ly enforced by a dictator and his special police. Public opinion, as far as the Allies are concerned, is now fully aroused to tee point teat convic- tions have taken the place of wishful teinking. Canada bas a very important place in tee pre- sent plans o! tee Allies. A giance at a map will disclose tee im- portant strategic position o! Ca- nada in relation ta thee unes of communication o! tee British Emnpire. We have equal responsi- bilities. Every man and woman must be prepared ta take their full share o! responsibility ta pull their full share of the load and ta make equal sacrifires. If we are prepared ta pay thee price, concluded Mr. Strike, then there is no doubt but teat de- mocracy will rise from. tee ashes o! this confliet to better and high- er ground where all mankind may live in freedom and we hope in peace. The thanks o! the club for te very masterly address given by Mr. Strike was expressed in a vote o! appreciation by Geo. W. James and conveyed to the speak- er by President Ross Stutt. S. J. Courtice, Leamington, was the only visitor at the luncheon. Starkville Mrs. Shutka is in Kendal tak- ing care o! a lady who is quite ill. Annual meeting o! the Shiloh Church showed encouraging and satis!actory reports. Mr. Jacob Hallowell has re- turned from Toronto where he had a thorough examination and x-ray o! his trouble.

IT WASN'T CONVINCING (Newmarket Era) One reason teat tee Ontario government's election morator- ium proposai feul on stony ground was teat it came to the munici- palities as an economy measurz suggested by those who had no apparent intention of economizing themnselves. There is far more roomn and need for economy at Ottawa and Qneen's Park tean in the average municipal council. Most Ontario munîcipalities have been reducing their îndebtedness during the past few years, but bote federal and provincial gov- ernments have been increasing theirs.
