FARMERS PLEASED WITH FALL OF RAIN Some Wells Replenished| But Situation Is Still Serious Jupiter Pluvius paid a visit to this district over the week-end with the result that many wells which have been dry for months, causing farmers great concern, were re- replenished. The heavy downpour of Saturday night and early Sunday morning was worth many hundreds of dollars to the farmers in a large area around Whitby where the drought of the past six months has created a serious situation. "We need more rain yet before the freeze up," said one farmer in the Brooklin district on Sunday night. This farmer has been haul- ing water for his stock for some time. Up in Pickering township, the drought has been very. acute, with scarcely a good well in the country. | Fall wheat has suffered consider- ably for lack of rain, also late root | crops. It has been the dryest season on | record in this county. It is stated that unless more rain falls farmers will in some districts find difficul- ty in securing water for their stock. -_ ST. ANDREW'S DAY SERMON HEARD BY PRESBYTERIANS Rev. Duncan Munro in| Whitby Pulpit Extolls | Scotland's Saint Preaching a St. Andrew's Day ser- mon Sunday evening in St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church, Rev, Duncan Munro, of Oshawa, pictured Scotland's patron saint, and one of Christ's early apostles, as a man of strong christian character--a great missionary, and a man of unswerv- ing loyalty to the cause of christi- anity. His action in bringing his brother Peter to Christ was one ol the most significant things in all the world, he declared. Men of St, Andrew's type were needed in this day of world turmoil and unrese, . There was a large congregation to hear the minister of Knox Pres- byterian Church, Oshawa, whose Scotch tongue was music in the ears of many from the old land, and many descendants of Scotch pion- eers, who were present. The service was under the auspices of the local branch of St. Andrew's Society. With Mrs. P. N. Spratt at the organ, the choir rendered a special anthem, and Mrs. David Mowat sang a solo. The visiting minister took for his subject, 'St. Andrew, the Apostle of the Lord." In the gospel narratives it was first pointed out, St. Andrew seemed to be in the background, and he did not possess ralents which would make him conspicuous in a erowd, bt he was nevertheless a man of r'rong Christian character. It tradition was to be believed, and there was no reason why it should not, 'St. Andrew possessed the su- preme Christian virtue of faithful- ness, exemplified not only while his Lord lived, but afterwards, and he was crucified for his unshakeable fajth in Christ, hanging and allve for two days, it is said, on a cross, and imploring his persecutors .to give themselves to Christ. Continuing, Rev, Mr. Munro stat- ed that while St. Andrew was not on outstanding, man like Peter, whom he had led to Christ, and who despite his faults had proven to be a great ambassador and finally a martyr to Christ's cause, for ke the Apostles Paul and John, he pos- sessed the qualities of the average man. He was one of us, and we could feel that what he did we too could do. St. Andrew's act of bringing Peter to Jesus was one of the most significant events in all the world. Peter had proven a fearless evangel, and had died for the faith. His influence like men of the type of Robert Moffatt and Dwight L. Moody, had brought thousands to Christ. St, Andrew, iu bringing his brother to Christ, had done enough to immortalize his name on the pages of history. The other. great event in his life was his response to Christ's invitation to follow Him. This he did faith- | opened | tradition recorded that St. Andrew in his missionary travels reachea Volga on the Russion black sea, and remained there long enough for the Russions to adopt him as their pat ron Saint. It also credited St. An drew with inspiring Jobn to write the fourth gospel, the great gospel of St. John, Further tradition also stated that he hung for two days on a cross, pleading with his persecu- tors to come to Christ. Thus his first and last acts were to seek to bring people to Christ. In the mid- dle of the 8th century St. Andrew became Scotland's patron Saint, Tradition spoke of his relics being conveyed from one place to another, but, said Mr. Munro, Scotland's concern was not about relics but of the living Andrew, who lived a life of sacrifice for the cause of the Gospel and displayed the highest traits of christian character. Scot land did the greatest thing in {ts history when it claimed St. Andrew as its patron saint, Its sons and daughters were committed to his ideals and history has shown that they never gave up until they had accomplished their purpose. The world today needed men of St. An- drew's type. SMUGGLERS TAKE TOTHE HIGH SEAS (Continued from page 1) served because most of the vessels which operate in the smuggling trade out of St. Pierre are docu- mented in Nova Scotia ports and are owned, at least ostensibly, by Canadian citizens." "The hampering of the liquor smuggling traffic across the+Cana- dian border has already been men- tioned. This action on the part of Canada is real evidence of the de- sire of that nation to co-operate with us in the solution of our smuggling problem and is very highly appreciated." Noting the increase in seizures of alleged smugglers the report says the liquor smuggling business has had a revival during the fiscal year. The seizures, 29, exceed those of the last two years and ap- proximate the number made dur- ing the early days of the high seas sum traffic.

The Maple Bay was overdue last week and it was feared for a day or two that the ship bad gone down, We started the trip from Fon William in the face of storm signais and bad weather, said the captain, and after getting out into the lake we encountered a south west gale that at times had the small craft wallowing the trough of the seas. Enow added to the difficulties of keeping on the course, "Realizing the danger of attempt. ing to continue," Captain Graham went on, 'we made for shelter in the Bete Gris Inlet on the American shore of Lake Superfor. There the Maple Bay rode the storm for five days while adjustments were made to the engines which had been badly shaken by the pounding received in the lake. "I sent messages to our head of- fice immediately after I got ashore and with the fuel almost exhausted decided to head for Marquette, when the weather moderated. Lat- er we found this would be unneces- sary and we continued straight for Sanit Ste Marie. No doubt those who were expecting us at Marquette became anxious hence the reports that we might have met idsaster."
