the right word for it is streamlined and seems to be moving rapidly under its own power for some years the regularchurches have looked askance at any attempt to revive the oldfashioned revivals they were regarded as outofdate and could have no appeal in this modern intel lectual andmechanical age but this is a new kind of revival or rather it is the oldfashioned revival modernized i s the movement had its origin in the united states about a year ago rallies have been held in chicago with 25000 in attendance and a recent rally brought more than 50000 persons to the stadium at soldier field nearly 500 similar rallies are said to have been held throughout the continent with a total attendance of 500000 writing of this movement in the christian century harold e fey says youth for christ is anidea to con vert young people to christvtliis streamlined revivalism puts into effective use the selling technique of radio its leaders are men under forty whose educational equipment was acquired in high schools and in fundamentalist iristi- tutes and bible colleges of the moody type their methods have been learned from business and particularly from com- mefciarradio j fthat may sound like cheapening religion or lowering thegospel to a commercial basis but it is a line of jeast resistance and of popular appeal wesley moody and general booth used the same tactics in their own times and they did it very effectively they too were young meirwhoweritv outside of their churches which had become stodgy staid and ecclesiastical and they used methods that were regard- ed as vulgar and sensational wesley was charged with adapting italian operatic tunes to his gospel hymns and he replied that he did not see why the devilshould have all the good music moody and sankeys gospel songs were mostly set to swing music and booths songs were timed to the tambourine and the military drum marching to glory meatrationing -f- 1 so weare to have mearationing again thejjews has been received with a marked lack of enthusiasm bythe average canadian consumer he does not forget thatwhen meatrationing was previously in forcein canada bns of meat designed for overseas shipment were allowed to spoil he knows thttlneatratibning irithe united states has been responsible for blackntaffiet operations of alarming pro portions arid he is doubtful whether the proposed rationing here is intended to dct much more than answer criticisms of canada from southof the border moreover the canadian consumer is now in a mood to ask questions about government policies and is not so easily satisfied with evasive answers as he was a year ago- he may be willing to tighten his belt to provide larger rations for the british and the citizens of liberated countries but he has not yet got around to the point of sacrificing anything to help germans or italians there is a case to be made for the policy of feeding our enemies it is important that europe be rehabilitated and canada shares tne responsibility for the task with the other w united nations but the share thatcanada will assume should not he unlimited it is on what britain the united states and russia are willing to do public opinion inthe united states seems to be against exporting any sizeable quantity of foodstuffs to europe until thereare surpluses over domestic requirements russias ability and willingness to help are unknown quantities the people of great britain after six years of short rations cannot be blamed if they feel entitled to a few square meals them selves before they share their food with their enemies i in the circumstances canada cannot afford to be vaguely altruistic it should be possible to set quotas of food stuffs to be exported to europe from canada and if the quotasare reasonably estimated and producers aregiven fair treatment on prices canadas share will be forth coming y theatre ijyatislxthlfty pan shows begin 7 pm m nowjpiiaying winged victory friday and saturday august 10 and il i

to finance garbage collection we are entirely in agreement vth those peoplewho are urging that a garbage collection be instituted in stouff- ville uxbridge enjoys such a service other towns also i garbage collection days we are sure that it would make a cleaner town and would ensure even better health however when it comes to paying for such service there are divergent views some peopje think jthecost should be collected in the general tax rate others would not favor this scheme and would advocate the service being assessed against those who use it indeed there is a good deal to be said in favor of those people who live on large lots mostly to the outskirts who do not want to subscribe to a garbage scheme even those on small properties who through circumstances must be very careful of- their pennies or perhaps oneperson to the house who can easily dispose of their own garbage would object to contributing to a general scheme the idea of assessing those who patronize the scheme is fair if it were not for the fact that many who should patronize garbage collection might continue tottirow tlieir j puttothe annoyance of the neighbor who pays to have his hauled away a p individual

much more than a dispute between a company and a labor union it is of utmost concern to almost every citizen of canada for what appears to be a most trivial cause a vital industry is threatened s hundreds of thousands of farmers who depend com- pletely on commercial packing houses to process and market their main production the transportation and storage com- parlies that handle that product and the twelve million canadian plus overseas consumerswho eat it are all directly affected and all have been completely ignored no wonder we heard disapproval of the workmen by farmers every day the strike lasted a highly perishable product and an almost as perish able export market are mvblved aside from the advantage of regular income to the farmer it is most important to him that his cattle hogs and other meat animalsare slaughtered and processed just as soon as they reach the right marketing stage kept be- yond that point even for a week or tyvo they begin to lose quality and become a hill of expense every day the pack ing house is tied up addsto the farmers feed bill and de creases his chances of getting top grading for his livestock and that loss is notjust confined to the farmer it hits our vitally important export market as well- meat from over- ii at stale cattle and hogs would soon ruin that outlet there are plenty of world rivals who would be delighted to take oyer and permanently canadas leading place in the british import food market right now we have an oppor tunity and a duty to consolidate that markel yet we risk l losing it entirely unless our abattoirs

ottawa hasbeen emphasized as merely a preliminary meeting of the provincial leaders and the cen tral authorities in order to create a soundeconomic foundation for the private enterprise structure of canada within which the whole postwar eras plans may be em bodied later it is hinted that there are numerous problems that alter native proposals from the provinces may- be entertained and that a steering committee may arrange for several committees to proceed into proper detailed reassembling at a much later date or as soon as pos sible under the conditions in order to consider the reports from these several committees and to reach de cisions for action by the proder authorities either in ottawa or in the various provincial v capitals throughout this country n in view of the widespread interest throughout canada in the welfare of- the men in the canadian army of occupation in europe it can be reported that a top ranking officer of the canadian army ex pressed his personal opinion

would be revaluated from its posi tion of 10 per cent discount exchange rate against the united states dollars and these rumours have been accompanied mjy sensa tional stories of what the results of such an action would be upon fin ancial obligations or stocks since the pegged rate of 10 per cent has been in existence from the outbreak of worldavarii in 1939 but the minister of finance honjliilsley has put an endto these fantastic stories in declaring fatly that there was no evidences in present cir cumstances to warrant a change in exchange rates so that the 10 per cent discount in united states funds would remain indefinitely in relation to canadian dollars at least for the moment his- declara tion has downed the wild rumours which have been heard in ottawa london and washington with no one being able to trace the origin of these rumours it is reported in v- this nations capital- that a soldiers rehabilita tion and war service grants cannot be discontinued or stopped except in cases of dishonorable discharge this is indicated at this time in view of an allegation in an inter view whenanofficeris supposed to have asserted by error that soldiers were afraid to talk for fear of los ing their gratuities indeed it is reported that disciplinary action would be taken againstany officer suggesting to members of the army that their rehabilitation grants would be jeopardized if they would not volunteer for the pacific war or remain in the forces i it has become known in ottawa that thenational advisory council of the service clubsof canada have passed

the exact time of the visit is unknown or not determined yet it is hinted in ottawa that field marshal sir bernard montgomery would come to this country- for a visit in the not too distant- future it
