PERT Myrtle Station The annual meeting of the Aux- iliary of the Woman's Missionary So- "ciety, was held at-the home_of Mrs. -.H.-Hudgin, no _'Tuesday_afternoon_of last week, with a good attendance of members - and three visitors. The 'President, Mrs, Geryan, was in charge and lead in the responsive call to wor- ship in the Christmas program. The annual report of the secretary told of nine meetings during the year, the study book, the Camrades of the World Church, was used and made a most interesting program; systematic giving, donations and quilting, all had a part in the raising of funds. The treasurer's report, which was not quite complete, lacked a few dollars of meeting the allocation. It is hoped that when the report is completed it will show the objective as having been reached. Temperance. and Christian Stewardship have also been a part of the work of the Auxiliary for the past year. Rev. G. S. Gervan took charge of the eclection of officers which re- sulted as follows:- President, Mrs, Gervan; Vice-President, Mrs, E. Red- man; secretary, Mrs. C. Harrison; _treasuer, Mrs. D. Luery; secretary of Christian Stewardship. and" Finance, Mrs. Hudgin, temperance secretary, "Mrs. R. Chisholm. literature and Mis- sionary Monthly and World Friends, Mrs. O. H. Downey; press secretary, Mrs. D. Luery; Mission Band Leaders, Mrs. F. Harrison, Mrs. A. Parrinder. The January meeting. will be held at the home of Mrs. Luery, The Hearts of Oak Mission Band met in the Sunday School room' on Saturday afternoon with an unusual- ly small attendance, due no doubt, to the holiday season. = Patti Gervan, president, occupied the chair, After 'the opening' devotional exercises, Gladys Bradley, secretary, read the minutes of the December' meeting and called the roll. The members of the Band were asked to bring jn as soon as, possible, the quilt blocks they are © © making. Betty Jean Lunney read the « story of Little Burnt Face, The Band purpose was repeated in unison and 'the meeting closed with 4 hymn and the Mizpah benediction, The Universal Day of Prayer was observed on New Year's evening in the Sunday School room, The num- ber present was not as large as it * wwould have béen had the 'weather been good. Rev. G. 8. Gervan conducted the service and chose "Prayer" for the subject of his talk. ; 'Woman's Association will hold n pie -supper-in-the-church t on Wednesday evening, Jan.

Trooper Orval Langford of Cupar, Sask., son of Mr. and Mrs. -Alfred Langford, formerly of this village,|" spent the holiday week with: his uricle and aunt, Mr, and nMrs, Stewart Bry- ant of Ashburn, Mrs. Langford is well known to many in this district as the former Delma Graham, "Mrs. James Cooper was a visitor in Toronto on Tuesday of last week, Master Jim Hamilton visited with Oshawa friends from Saturday of last week until New Year's eve when he returned home bringing with him a'little friend, Bruce Selby, Bruce remained until Saturday evening. We regret to report that Mr. A. V. Swail is confined to his bed through illness, but at time of writing he was slightly improved. Mr, and Mrs. D. Duchemin spent New Year's with Mr. and Mrs, H. Searle of Columbus. A car of barley for Hogg & Lytle, Port Perry, arrived in the C.P.R. yard on Tuesday of last week. Trucks were coming and going the remainder of the day and Wednesday carrying it to the warehouse. - Also, a car of coal for F. E, Reesor of Port Perry was unloaded and trucked to its destina- tion. : SI eH © Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harrison and Gordon were New Year's guests of relatives in Brooklin.

NEW 1942 DODGE TRUCKS -- +MORE POWER! é DODGE TRUCKS the last 70 years the territory of each country has been used as a base for guerrilla attacks against the other, The history of Cana- dian-American relations until very recent times is largely, in fact, a story of their quarrels. Vik Fortunately, a younger generation of Canadians not only.can but does forget these grievances of the past... The Canadian- American "will to peace" is established. Canadian-American co- '| operation 'was closest during the <World War, but it has become much closer during the present war. The undefended frontier has become unique--a world's wonder that times could only make more wonderful, Both'natiohs have grown too proud of it to wish to see it sacrificed. . 20rd BHC, fo One of the most striking things about Canada is that its pop- ulation is one third French.

Beare Motors Dealers Port Perry Canada, America's Problem | Continued from Front Page ball rough, shoots golf at par instead of bogey. He spends little time in clubs, but is a great joiner of fraternal societies. He leaves his lot unfenced, builds verandas on his-houses and sits on- them in warm weather. He says "Say" instead of ¢I say". "T,00kit" instead of "Look here", and pronounces "aunt" as though it were a small creeping creature. He is a great driver of auto- mobiles, owner of telephones and Frigidaires, and.a gadget user He organizes his-business on American lines, and is almost as fond of stock gambling. POTN RE Canadians listen to more American radio programs than to Canadian and English combined. Hollywood supplies their films. Canadian Church goers, have close affiljations across the border and most trade unions are international. "So are hockey and baseball. Canadians have the same faith as Americans in education for all;-and-see-nothing degrading in a boy's working his way through college. In Britain, only in London University has anything of the kind been known. . Despite these many similarities, there are subtle differences between Canadians and Americans. Canadians take their work more calmly and their pleasures more sadly. They are less im- pulsive 'and far less given to violence. The gun on the hip has never been part of their tradition. ' Canada has hanged rebels but no "radicals". "Nobody has ever tried to assassinate a Canadian Prime Minister. Organized racketeering is unknown, and no hooded figures have ever dominated the night scene. Relatively fewer Canadians murder each other and many more are hanged '| when they do. . Canada is less thoroughly democratic and there is more reverence for authority and the great in Canada. The law of slander is more strictly enforced, as one politician discovered when 'he referred to opponents as "bankers' toadies" and went to jail for it. Canada though puritanical at heart is more tolerant than the U.S, She has had two Roman Catholic Prime Ministers: Sir_John_Thompson and Sir Wilfred Laurier. Canadians do not change their leaders merely for the sake of change. The second term of a Canadian Prime Minister makes his-third grm more likely, not less. "Mr. King is a present. embarked on a fourth term to add to his 14 years of office, ! In matters of form Canada is a kingdom. The Governor- General represents the King and not the British' Parliament. Canada's two great political parties are Liberal and Conservative, though the Liberals have never been very liberal nor the Conser- vatives very conservative. During most of their half-century of ins and.outs, their original differences over tariffs and provincial rights have almost disappeared. TERR iat ots de One factor in preventing that easy friendliness which makes a man or a nation a good neighbour has been that Canadians, knowing so much about America, cannot understand Americans knowing so little about Canada. They are surprised and offended when their newspapers are full of news about the U.S. to find so little about Canada in American newspapers. Their 'sense of humour fails when the inevitable American tourist appears at the border in July-with-skis lashed tothe back of his car.» In Canada to be disloyal means to be disloyal to Great Britain. weather. we Mr. and Mrs. John Lawrie, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Lawrie, Miss 'Nash, of Oshawa, Mr, and Mrs. Will Draper, of Brooklin, were New Year's guests of | Mrs. F.

The original 13 states were mostly settled by the English. Canada was settled by the French, and was still predominantly French at the time of the. American Revolution. "More than half of: Canada's popula- tion to-day is of other: than British origin, and there are two official languages, French and English. 3 : To understand Canada's' devotion to England, and its lurking suspicion of the U.S. we must consider Canada's history. If Can- ada is an American product as is sometimes argued, it is in the same sense as Protéstantism was a product of Catholicism. = The first English speaking Canadians were protestants against the American Revolution. They fled in fear and resentment; slowly the fear has passed but the resentment remains. : odern Americans who when they think of Canada at all,| d find it difficult to] think of her only with the kindest feelings ! realize this... They.point to the famous undefended border, and to Anierica's highly benevolent neutrality as unmistakable evidence of their good intentions. - But these things must be set against a long past in which America was a menace to Canada and Britain her only source of safety, For nearly a generation now it has been different, but a generation is not long in the history of even 80 young a country as Canada.

He has an acute sense of family, respect for law, and reverence for tradition. As a people French Canadians have proved. to be good farmers, magnificent I pioneers, gifted politicians, doctors and lawyers. : They have sup- plied artisans and craftsmen to industry rather than owners, suc- cessful businessmen or executives. - The chief instrument of French Canada's persistence is its high survival rate--the excess of births over deaths, The 65,000 French Canadians who became British in 1763 have grown to at least 3,600,000. In another 50 years, unless English speaking 'receives accessions through immigration, it will be out numbered - 1 by French Canada, who has kept its race, religion ahd manner of living intact. © When they marry their English speaking com- i patriots it is to absorb them, ; : I The dream of those who have predicted that Canada would Lone day become the heart of the British Empire seems less fan- tastic now. Canada's position, with one cost lashed by the Atlantic ang the other by the Pacific makes her a far moye logical shipping centre than the United Kingdom. Moreover, Britain's three best customers are the United States, Canada and Australia, and even Australia is much closer to Vancouver than London, If Britain's foreign investments are considered, it is: quickly {'obvioug that their centre of gravity is not in Europe. All Europe, including Turkey accounted for only 7.9 per cent. of Britain's total investment, according to 1931 figures: Canada accounted for 14.1 per cent.; the United States for 5.4 per cent., Central and South America and Mexico for 22.4 per cent. - . : Canada has mast of the essentials except.cheap coal and she has the world's cheapest water power to replace that, She. is next door to the world's principal supplier of dotton, and far near- er Australia's wool. She has food in abundance and room to spare for the whole of England's population. In Britain industry id more vulnerable to air attack than anywhere else in the world, In Canada it cannot be bombed. These considerations have already led to Canada's selection as a new Empiie air centre and the basing of a substantial British fleet in Halifax Harbour, 3 - - Complete British retreat to.Canada would. be. welcomed by many Englishmen, The aftermath of a long war .in which in- dustry and civilian population had suffered from intensive air at- tack, and the prospect of a quarter century of crushing taxation to pay for it, would probably convince the average Englishman that he 'had had about enough of it. Knowing a better ole, he would go to it. He alone of Europeans has the chance. If this were to happen, if another world power were to arise north of the border the effects on the U.S. would be permanent and profound. But one need not look so far into the future to see Can- ada exercising a vast influence over the destiny of the U.S. "Even before the U.S. entered the war it was up to her to protect Canada at home while she waged war abroad. Americans thave always taken Canada for granted; now they must take sides with her for better or worse, and in the years just ahead of us there are bound to be many great changes take place in Canada, this great land of opportunity. -~ PROSPECT | Letter from Windsor © Owing to bad conditions of the| = roads the church service was with- drawn on- Sunday. ; Mrs, G.
