We regret to record this week the passinK an old time ^nd honored friends of many years, in the person of Mr. Wm. Aldcorn, after an illness of several months. Our sympathy goes out to the two sons and daug>h- ters of Regina, and the five sons in Ontario, Walter, a guard at Burwash, Donald in Toronto, and Charlie, Neil and Tom at home, and to Mrs. Aid- corn, who was faithful to the last in her attendance upon her husband. Mrs. F. McKinnon, we are pleased to hear, is improving nicely and able to be around every day. Many were the expressions of glad- ness to see us at church again Sun- day, after an enforced absence for several weeks by that arch enemy, sciatica, or something' akin to it. There are not many Irish in this town, but the Scotch along with them seem always anxious to celebrate St. Patrick's birthday, so the W.A. of St. Columba church intend holding a sup- per and program shortly. An Irish stew is promised, with other dele- cacies, so don't miss it. We are hoping 'or good roads so that a big majority may be rolled up on the 26th for your favorite candidate. "»»It has been a busy mart in town during the past week. Mr. H. B. Mc- Lean had seven or eight big piles of wood buzzed up. Something elbout the engine that we admit we couldn't fix, delayed operations. Some 200 cords or more is a conservative estimate of the quantity. It is reported that Mr. Albert O'dell and Miss Mary Mather joined the swellinc ranks of the benedicts at the ONTARIO March of Time Picture ^^CANADA AT WAR'' THE Board of Censors, acting under the authority of The Theatres and Cinematographs Act, Chapter 319 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario 1937, has prohibited the exhibition of the film "Canada at War." In the opinion of the Board the picture is capable of being used â€" and is, in fact, presently being used in Canadaâ€" not for purposes of entertainment or education but for political propaganda. In proof of this, a copy of an advertisement published in Vancouver, B.C., papers under the sponsorship of the Vancouver Liberal Association is shown hereunder.

The release date of "Canada at War" was said to have been advanced three weeks apparently to permit of the display of the film during the Dominion election campaign. The action of the lioard of Censors in prohibiting the exhibition in Ontario of the March of Time picture "Canada at War" follows the precedent adopted in the Ontario provincial election of 1937, during which time the Liberal Government of Ontario refused to permit the exhibition of films and pictures which gave vivid accounts and displays of CI.O. activities and scenes of violence in American industrial centres. The showing of the pictures would have been to the undoubted advantage of the Liberal Government which was opposing CI.O. activities in Ontario. Yet the Ontario Liberal Government banned the exhibition of the films and pictures. The Board of Censors of the Province of Ontario would be false to its duty if it interfered in the wartime elections campaign by placing its stamp of approval on a film such as "Canada at War," which in this time of grave national peril is being used and exploited for purposes of political propaeanda. * * * M.

BEN HESLIP dies/ On old resident of this district, in the person of Mr. Benjamin Heslip of Thornbury. passed away at his home on Thursday of last week. He was in his 68th year and had been in poor health for some years. Mr. Heslip had been a barber in Flesherton and Thornbury for many years and was well known in both dis- tricts where he had lived. He was a breeder of black foxes in his later years and well known as a nature lover and had cared for a large flock of pheasants that wintered each year near his home. He was born on a farm in Colling- wood township district only a mile from Clarksburg, and had lived in that neighborhood almost all his life. He was a member of a family of seven boys and was a staunch mem- ber of the Gospel Workers' Church. Mr. Heslip was married to Miss Annie Ottewell of Osprey, a sister of Dr. J. P.

A Nation at War needs a National Government Absolute and rigid Econ- omy to be essentuil. In a clear-cut business administration of die country's a£f'Airs. No War Profiteering should be allowed. In stabilization and con- trol of commodity prices. No political patronage or favouritism should exist. We must avoid extravagance and waste so as to pre- vent unnecessary high taxation. The Farmer and Woricingman should have a better chande. The wdfare of Canadians should be above petty politics and Party following. We do not need Conscription. Canada will do its part voluntarily. A War Veteran's experience should be of value to a War Time Government. IF YOU AGREE ... We Solicit Your Support.
