This is Hitler's "ail out" war, there is no turning back. A winter is approaching which wiil add ta their suffering, but they will endure that suffering without whine or wimper until that bright day dawns when the force which has brought these evil times upon them is finally crushed. In this happier land the sac- rifice asked fromn every citizen of Canada is so smalli comparison, the sacrifice of a few luxuries, a few dollars or a few hours of our tume. A greater sacrifice is made by those who have spared their husbands, sons and daugh- ters for active service in the army, navy, air force and nursing services. The Canadian Red Cross is in that active service. It has coin- pleted a full year of active service in Canada, in the Heart of Empire,, in Franoe, in Belgium, in Norway and in Finland. To the prisoners of war behind the enemy Uines the only contact with homes and loved ones, the only source of welcomed parcels of food is through the International Red Cross at Geneva, and the Can- adian Red Cross is supplying 10,080 parcels of foodto these un- happy prisoners of war. You would not turn down an opportunity to share in this work carried on under this emblem of mercy. You may have let down the Red Cross in times of peace, but, you will not; let it down i time of war. Give generously to the voluntary Red Cross workers in Bowmanville when they cal on you during the coming week. Let your giving be a real express- oni of your con-ipassion and desire ta relieve suffering and distress.

Bowmanviile has been fortunate in having capable supervisors of music and we belleve in the ap- Pointmcntof Mr. W. E. C. Work- man of London to this position the high standard of efficiency is being maintamned. Mr. Workman was also selected frQm a large list of applicants as organisf and choir director of Trinity United Churcli. Mr. Worknian owes much of bis musicai ability and genuine love for if to his fateer, tee late W. G. Workman of Ottawa who was music director of Ottawa achools for 12 years, and for 25 years was music director of Ottawa Normal and Model Schools. It la an in- teresting coincidence that a well- known and beloved Durhiam County man, the late Tomn A. Brown, native of Darlington Township and broteer-in-law of Mrs. T. S.

The crowd was officially welcomed by T. W. Jackson who incidentally has been gate-keeper for 44 years, neyer having missed a year. A parade featuring the march- ing of "D"I Company of the Mid- land Reginient started the after- noon activities. They were led by the Orono Citizens Band at one tume the Durham Reginiental Band. The Boy Scouts and kiddies were also a main factor of the parade and were led by Bfi Found and Junior West astride two ponies.* The exhibits were of unexceiled calibre, showing the high quality for which Durham County is famn- ous. The farm, exhibit showing the various types ot articles grown on the farmn and containing over 200 different items attractied, spe- cial attention in the main build- ing. This feature was assenibled and constructed by Miss Wllma Farrow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Farrow. Horse racing was viewed with great inierest with several speed races being run off. The winner of the classified race was Senator Patch, owned by H. VanAlitine, Port Hope, and tied for second was Duncan McKillop owned by Rd. Gimiett, Oshawa, and Peter Harmister, owned by H.

Caldwell, Port Hope, was second, and third place was taken by Peter Gratton owned by A. Brown, fNewcastle. The discontinuing of rural school fairs was somewhat remned- ied by the fine exhibits that sey- eral schools had on display. Ma- ple Grove deserves special credit for their decorative murais hung along the south wail of the hall. Other exhibits showed the work that was being done in woodwork, plasticine, reeds and other mater- ials. Schools exhibiting were: Base Line, Orono, Haydon, Rooms 2 and 3 of Newcastle, Salem, S. S.'
