M. King wiU lead the Liberal party in one more general election --his seventh--and though the going may be rough or smooth he will seek re-election in the Saskatchewan riding of Prince Albert. Twenty-five years from the day when he was chosen in the city to lead the party, Mr. King, now an aging man of 70, stood amongst his Cabinet and Liberal stalwarts at a silver anniversary banquet in the Chateau Laurier last night and affirmed that he is prepared to make at least one more b|d for power. He threw no new light on when the election will come, he simply repeated what he had previously stated. "I have said I will not permit this Parliament to outrun its term. I have also said I would not, if I could avoid it, bring on an election in wartime. I intend to stand by those decisions, but I can't say when the election will come." The conclusion to be drawn from this is that there will be an election before April 17, next, when the term of the present Parliament expires, and it may come this autumn if the war in Europe is ended. On this latter point the Prime Minister spoke of victory approaching, but he made no mention of the month he thinks it may end. Mr. King was a smiling, happy, sentimental man last night, letting down the bars of reserve amongst 850 Liberals who had paid $2 for a ticket to attend and honour him upon the 25th anniversary of his selection as party leader at the 1919 Liberal convention. He talked in an intimate manner of his associations with his Cabinet colleagues, the men in his party, Laurier, and more than any of these he spoke lovingly of his old dog Pat, the Irish terrier, who died his arms in 1941. He produced WICKLOW-VERNONVILLE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE Wicklow and Vernonville Women's1 Institute held their July meeting at the home of Mrs. W. Haig with an attendance of nearly sixty. Mrs. W. Gillespie presided and the roll call was "An Item of Interest from Home and Country." Plans were made for the picnic to be held at- Cobourg Park in August and a "Friendly Basket" was started among the members as a means of raising money for overseas boxes. A resolution was forwarded to the Haldimand Council, asking for a toxoid clinic during summer vacation. Mrs. W. H. Hoskin, convener for the day, then took charge of the' meeting. Community singing was followed by a reading by Mrs. E. J. Kernaghan, and a solo by Miss Mary Rutherford. The speaker for the day was Mrs. Edith Rogers. Her topic, "Work Tp-Day, Plan To-Morrow," stressed a-mong many other interesting facts that we must work to re-habilitate, our men and women who have served! their country and who have under-? gone big mental changes which only time and patience will overcome. Th< speaker advised us to get i younger members, to be kind, don'f criticize, work, read and study in conclusion the following quotatioi from Carlyle was given: "Blessed is he who has found work. Let him ask on other blessing." As this was the thirtieth anniversary of our branch some special, ceremonies were carried out to mark] the event.

The best information from Ottawa is to the effect that at that time there will be some reduction in the amount of armaments produced in our Canadian factories. The extent to which this reduction will cause unemployment in Ontario and in Canada we do not know. However, we should be prepared for a certain amount of unemployment at this time. After the defeat of Japan, while our war industries are being converted to peace-time uses and when our sailofs, soldiers and airmen are being discharged from the forces, there will undoubtedly be a period when there will be unemployment unless we take strenuous means to prevent it. Every municipality in Ontario can help in preventing widespread unemployment at* that time. The means for doing this is by a program of public works expenditure throughout the length and breadth of the Province. This necessitates, of course, that each municipality makes plans well in advance of the time when unemployment is upon us. The time for this planning is now! In each community there are jobs to be done, such as the building of curbs, sidewalks, pavements, domestic sewers, storm sewers, incinerators, sewage disposal plants or water works. No matter what the project is, plans must be made and if Provincial aid is to be sought the plans will have to be approved by an appropriate department of the Provinical Government. There are approximately one thousand municipalities in the Province of Ontario. Obviously it will be a ! very difficult task for the Provincial Government to deal with all these municipalities spearately. It seems to us that the proper approach should be the creation of planning boards or authorities thorughout the Province.

Quickly retreating, she called out to the maid : "There's a Chinaman-at the door. You go, Ella !" / This was-too much for the Chinese, who stuck his head well into the hall and shouted indignantly : "You go 'ella yourself !" proposed the toast to Mr. King. A cabinet colleague, Ian Mackenzie, in a rolling Scot burr, read messages of congratulation from Winston Churchill, President Roosevelt, Field Marshall Smuts, Cordel Hull, Emil Ludwig, who has written a brief biography of him, Premier Stuart Gar-son of Manitoba, Premier A. S. McMillan of Nova Scotia, the Marquis of Aberdeen, and many others, including the Gaelic Society of Scotland. The quarters latter was delivered in Gaelic by Mr. Mackenzie, and in so many words said, "Long may your lum reek." At the conclusion of the evening Mr. King had all these testimonials on the table in front of him. Behind him on the wall was a full-length photographic enlargement of himself --draped with the Union Jack. The eulogies that had been heaped upon him greatly pleased him. He smiled like a happy boy. Although it was after 11 o'clock when he completed his speech and the audience had cheered him and sang "O Canada," he said he would be glad to shake the hands of all those present. This he did and the reception continued for almost an hour. During this time there were more speeches and Mr. King thanked the National Liberal Federation for its work and stated he would seek reelection in Prince Albert. Speaking of this constituency he said : "They tell me the going is to be rough at the next election but rough or smooth the men who have stood by me in Prince Albert for 18 years will be given the opportunity to stand by me again." He wondered why people talk so much about an election when all thoughts should be directed to winning the war. "When it is over and if God spares me I'll put the best in me into the fight." At Mr. King's side as^he spoke was his sister, Mrs. Lay. of Barrie. -At the .suggestion of Opposition Lea'der Graydon asd M. J. ColdweH, automobile mechanic at Garage of Mr. W. J.

SALVATION ARMY E FRONT APPEAL opening gun of the Salvation Home Front Appeal will be on September 18th, 1944, and twelve days thereafter a concentrated campaign will be conducted to raise one million dollars. 1 In 400 towns, cities and villages, 30,000 volunteers will gear themselves to all-out co-operation with 1,500 Salvation Army Officers in making the appeal a success. Every Corps Canada is taking part in this national endeavour, except those centres where The Army is a paticipating agent a local community chest or united appeal. While world battle-fronts are sounding to the fierce shrill noises of of war, the battle against poverty, ignorance and fear continues apace st home. To wage this campaign against man's insidious enemies which fight and destroy without weapons, and cringe before enlightenment, a vast sum of money is needed. Not only is the Army of Mercy hoping to carry on its many-sided program of helping poor folk-establishing ex-prisoners to normal --visiting the sick--and guiding the steps of erring women back to the ways of righteousness; it also plans a vast and far-reaching program of rehabilitation for returned men when the war is over. To qu»te Commissioner Benjamin Orames, Territorial Cammander: "The Salvation Army believes that every man's soul is worth saving; similarly it believes that spiritual help and practical aid go hand in hand. Whenever there is a need, there is an answering call from one of the (Kie-garbed soldiers of Salvation. "The Home Front Appeal is a splendid opportunity for all at home to prove to our fighting men that we ;>re continuing to keep the home fires burning brightly in Canada."

Supervisors Green and Robinson were three days under shell-fire while Supervisor Shaver i jeep drove to advanced posts changing films for shows. Much help has been rendered to desperately placed civilians as well as troops. Sometimes the only news the services obtain is the copies made of bulletins by the Red Shield men and distributed. Movies are shown in barns or any old building. Improvised writing rooms are set up amongst the rubble in sheltered spots. Softball schedules are made for men behind the lines.
