Caen, in Normandy, has come to be familiar te Canaiiiana whose sons haTe there engaged the huns. In his "Reminiscences" the late GoWwin Smith refers to the town as he saw it in 1S47: "In tke magnificent chunchei of Caen you feel the majesty of(Will- iam) the conqueror. At Falaise the Castle still looics down njjon the tan- neries, as in the days when Robert the Devil wooed tne tanner's daugh- ter. There lie Walter, Count of Mantes, and his wife, daughter of Herbert Wake-Deg, reputed victims of William the Conqueror by poison- ing." History still crowds into Caen, and it once again takes its old-time place, representing a new scene in the shifting drama of Europe's tragedy. This time, players from over the teas are joined with those from Europe and Britain in a vivid play conceived by a Satanic playwright. We have heard nothing of the "magnificent churches in Caen" in the invasion news, since that town was roused from its slumiber and at- tention once more focused upon its storied vast. Again, it is to be noted that as violence naises its head, the ancient churches, magiiificent monuments to long-past religibus fervor and op- pression, have become opportune tar- gets for shell and bomb. As they fall before the destroyers, questionings arise as to the wisdom and indeed the necessitj' ef erecting such architect- ural nMnuments in the nane of re- ligion. It is recalled that tbey were built at vast cost, financod by extortioiiB bused on the foar of damnation held over them by old religious leaders not above such means of gaining their connmunities than the formal- ism of echoing catherdals, ritualistic monuments of a departed day, pro- bably (fivested tf the religious sig- nificance which was theirs when stone was laid on stone, and stained glass fashioned in magnificent theme io long ago, anil now become some- what of a liability; magnitteent and beautif-ul thoagh they be. P R I C E V I L L t , All enjoyed hearing Rev. Mr. Burgess, of Oraageville, Sunday,, who preached Anniversary Services in St. .\iidrews Church.

If rising prices and costs were allowed to keep pushing each other up, inflation would be un- avoidable. That's what inflation isâ€" a panic rise in pricesâ€" with money losing its value and confusion everywhere. To prevent inflation, a ceiling has been set on prices and profits,â€" wages and salaries have been controlled. '^^Nr so WE If one person demands higher pricesâ€" another higher profits â€" another a higher wage or salary â€" soon everybody would be mak- ing the same demands â€" demands on everyone else. Then costs of production could not be controlled. The ceiling could no longer be held. Living costs would go up â€" 0|^ and iMeom* bejiin their frantic rise.
