THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20th, 1945 £>ad is home again / Christmas candles will burn brighter this year and Christmas turkeys have a new and special flavour for the thousands of Canadians who will be sitting down to their first Christmas dinner with the family circle complete. And many a childish face will glow in the candlelight because "dad" takes his place at the head of the table again -- with his strange tales from Italy, from France, Germany or the Pacific. But even as the candles are lit and the heaped plates go round, Canadians will pause and remember -- remember those family groups that will never be complete--those thousands of desolate and homeless in Europe -- that great army of children who have been frightened and hurt and starved by a war not of their making. Let us therefore make a solemn resolve never again to allow the powers of darkness -- greed, selfishness and mistrust--to put out the candles of Christmas, those brave lights that symbolize the warm love and kindness that came into the world two thousand years ago.

"Hero would be placed a golden book of memory. This would contain the names of those from Toronto and district who paid the supreme sacrifice. Every day, throughout the years, a war amp would turn a page of the golden book of memory. Whether these plans develop into a •eality, Padre Lambert pointed out, will depend on the final results of the appeal for funds now being made by the Toronto Branch of the War Amputations of Canada.

MEAT SHIPMENTS AT ALL-TIME HIGH Commenting on reports that British dock strikes have interfered with Canadian meat shipments, the Meat Board announced on October 31 that meat shipments are now at an all-, time high and that it has ample refrigerator ocean space booked to handle all meats now available for shipment. The Meat Board is shipping so much meat overseas that plain figures fail to convey the size of its opera- | tions. The 110,000,000 pounds of i meat which the Board has cleared or' booked for clearance overseas since i October 1st would fill a freight train I stretching halfway from Toronto to | Hamilton, Ont., or halfway from < Saint John to Fredericton, N.B., or j the way from Calgary west to the foothills of the Rockies. Of this unprecedented quantity of meat exports, some 60,000,000 pounds were carried overseas by 15 steamers clearing Canadian ports in October. These October shipments include 28,-000,000 pounds of bacon and 28.000-000 pounds of beef. United Church, Colborne Rev. Geo. D.
