Young and was enjoyed by all, and did justice to such an occasion, mer months, church will be held at 10 'a.m. and Sunday School at 11, Myrtle Station At last the day that has been look- ed for, longed for, and prayed for the past five years has come--the day of victory in Kurope! It has brought with victory hope and relief; it has brought release to thousands upon thousands that have known the untold horrors and sufferings of prison and concentration camps; it brings joy and happiness and thanksgiving. But in the midst of our gladness let us not forget that had it not been for those who suffered and died, those who still suffer and carry on them the scars of war, this great victory would not have been possible. It had been planned to observe Mothers' Day on Sunday, but with the coming of V-Ii Day and the universal thankfulness of the people, a service of thanksgiving will be held instead. We will hope that our church will ac- commodate the crowd-that is expected to gather, not. only in thanks to God who has given us victory, but also as a tribute to those who made the su- preme sacrifice that we might live in peace and honour. The service will be held at tht regular hour 2 p.m. On Wednesday afternoon, May 16th, the Woman's Association will hold a' "Birthday" tea in the church base- ment, There will be twelve tables, cach decorated to represent a month of the year.

Gault who is in Belgium, thanking the ladies for the box of goodies sent him some- time ago. The letter, writtén on April 16, stated that the weather was lovely the trees in bud, the skies very blue and reminded him of Ontario. A let- ter was also received from Bruce Manderson who is in Germany, Bruce said the weather was mild, he was en- joying good health, the box contained everything that a soldier likes and he hoped to be back home before long.

Je I J B 0 0 Federal Election, June 11 To the Electors of Ontarlo Riding: papers and am now an official candidate. I am no stranger to you. I was your member in the Legislature for several years and Leader of the opposition for 10 of those years. My experience there will enable me when elect- ed to take full part in the work of the next Parliament of Can- ada which will have largely to do with post war reconstruction and the building of a greater Canada. I therefore appeal to you with confidence for your sup- port at a time when experience and mature judgment are the prime qualifications for member- ship in the new Parliament. The European War has drawn to a close to the joy of all after many anxious and trying years. We are celebrating the Victory with heartfelt thanksgiving. During those years the manage- ment of our affairs has been in the hands of a government which has spared no effort to prosecute the war with full vigor. The record of the government is above reproach. There has been no scandal or improper dealing. The whole effort has been to bring our greatest support to the allied cause. farmers have labored hard to produce food supplies, our munition workers, motor mechanics and airplane producers have worked long and faithfully to provide everything necessary for the sup- port of our forces. Our young men and women have served and sacrificed on sea and land and in the air. loaning money to the Government to pay for all services. Loyalty to our country and our cause has been the motive of the people and the Government. With such a record who but the same Govern- ment should have charge of the post-war destinies of Canada. The Government has the knowledge acquired during the war years and the experience of all war problems to make it the only group capable of properly handling our affairs during the next few years to ensure to us the proper peace conditions. It should and must be returned to office to carry on. We must look forward now and carry on for the welfare of ourselves and our country; With Divine guidance and our affairs in the hands of an experienced Government we shall succeed. I ask you to send me to Ottawa to lend my efforts and experience to the task of maintaining and improving the position of Canada among the nations of the world and enabling all its people to enjoy all the blessings of the peace years which are to follow our years of anxiety and sorrow, and to see that first of all our returning life. : Yours for service to Canada, W.
