The Rural Church Rev, G. W, Morrison, Wyevale, Ont, spoke each morning on "The Rural Church", Mr Morrison took three headings, "Background or Inspirational", "Purpose and Ade ministration" and "Projects or Ways and Means", The speaker firmly believed that to minister to people of a rural community one ' | must have identity by background and experience with country peo- ple must have training, One must have love and loyalty, His heart must be in the work and not have his eye on a larger field for pres- tige. A rural church is not a dumping e for the unwanted and he sald with some humor, "If the city is the place for successful people? Don't blame scme minis- ters for wanting to go there" and he quoted "O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go". The speaker showed Pla. with the tiller of the soll, 80 in spiritual life, the ground must each | be prepared before the seed is sown and then, the harvest, Young people are lost because we fail to bring and | them in, or harvest them, "God nev- LJ] i : Hf 8 E pr E 3 fl 3 H | : : g g E : : H 5 i 9g 5 g 2fet gi HITE THEATRE er falls," There will always be a seed time and a harvest, Mr, Morrison wag introduced by Dr, Winnifred Thomas, General Secre of WM, 8. in Canada.

Church pro- grammes must be exclusive, It does not need to fit in with every other programme. The main centre of her programme is the worship of God and if she falls in this other programmes are of little use, wWor- ship should be expressed in rela- tionship to the industry in which we are engaged, Rural churches need facilities. Anyone can worship God who has a pure heart but it is easier to worship in an atmosphere that is clothed with beauty, "How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings", quoted the speaker, Mr. Morrison, from & 130 DELEGATES (Cotinued on Page 8) Refreshingly Air Conditioned THURSDAY .

H. MacDiarmid Gives Occupational Talk To Whitby Rotarians "Wills, their history and their lo- gic," was the subject chosen by K. H, Muspiard, young Whitby law=~ yer, for his talk to the Whitby Ro- tary Club on Tuesday. He gave three logical reasons why every per son should make a will, for econ ony, for convenience and for dir- ective justice, ker, who was introduced willlam McIntyre, explained t the earliest wills had been found by archaeologists in the tombs of Egyptians and Chaldeans, many oetti old, Wills as we know them now can be directly traced from their origins in British law, based on the old Common Law, and not on statutes, Feudal System With the arrival in. England of William . the Conqueror and the imposition and growth of the feu- dal system, wills were not allowed, All property was owned by the king and was Igb or loaned to the feudal lords for" services rendered. This land passed from father to son, and for a time nothing could change this law of primogeniture, As time went on however, trusts were developed by which the land could be distributed as the owner wished. In those days, according to the speaker, there was no portable property such as stocks, bonds, in surance or mortgages, so that land was that wealth was based on and what it came from, Deeds were in the same category as wills, as they were crude at first, Being no registry offices, a deed was called an indenture, the name coming from the fact that the deed was written on two halves of cow- hide which had an indented edge. Proof that the deed was a proper one was given if the indentures in the two halves of the hide fitted. The Highest Appeal Turning to another subject Mr, MacDiarmid asked that the actions of the government in trying to abolish the right of appeal to the King and the Privy Council be glv= en careful study, He felt that this body could be of immense value in deciding constitutional issues, par- ticularly over the matter of prove incial and federa] rights. His rea- sons were that a Supreme Court The spea Kinsmen Canvass Town For Articles For Auction Sale Whitby Kinsmen held their regu- lar Tuesday meeting at Memorial Park, with provender in the form of a picnic lunch, Pinal arrangements were made for the Auction Sale and Carnival which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 7, at the park, During the evening teams were appointed .to canvass the town for donations of articles which would be suitable material to sell at the nuction sale, These men will call at all homes in the town and where possible, in the surrounding district, The Kinsmen that the re- sponsg will be such that a large sum of money will be raised for the work of making the park a real commun- ity centre, "Anything saleable will be accept~ ed." said President Bill Sala, "from Aardvarks to Zithers, all will be grist for the mill." The president also hoped that anyone not recelv- ing a visit from a solicitor would not feel slighted, but that would call one of the numbers giv en in the advertisements. If this is dor, a speedy pick-up will be made, Missal Returned To Local Veteran By Tommy on Tour A Roman Catholic Missal, lost in Belgium, has been returned to its owner, John Barton of Whitby, af ter a long trip through Germany, back to England and from there to Canada, The book was turned in at the Toronto office of the Red Cross So- ciety by D, Thomas, of Surrey, Eng- land, who explained that he had picked it up in a military lorry near Blelenfeld, Germany, and while there was no name inside, there were some cards bearing the name of John Barton, Whitby, Ontario, He put the book aside and when he came to Canada on a flying visit it travelled with him, Inquiries by the Toronto office located the owner of the book and established the fact that he had returned safely to his home town, and was in business there, co-part- ner with two other servicemen in the "Woodland Products", In the meantime, Mr, Thomas has returned to his home in Surrey, but will soon be receiving = jes) of which is appointed by the Federal | Missal government should not be the final court for matters which that gove ernment was interested in, He was thanked for his talk by am, MORE MEAT COUPONS ARE BEING TURNED IN All across Canada citizens are turning in unneeded meat coupons and asking that the meat so saved be sent to the starving peoples of the world, The scope of this move ment has risen steadily and reach- ed a new high in July, The total number of coupons contributed up to the end of July is 448,627, For the information of all house wives the coupons up to 50 on the meat page will expire on August 31, If unneeded and if turned in promptly to the local Ration Office at 103 Dundas Street East, they will help to send meat to those that need it, 305 Dundas St, W.

(Aug.28) 8 | WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 4 Bi | tion sale of Household Furniture, the BLAZING GAR HALTS HIGHWAY TRAFFIC Car Burns Near Gas Tanks On Dundas Street East Trafic on Dundas Street East was held up for almosy half an hour just 'after 7 p.m, last night while a car belonging to J. L. Nightingale of Toronto was completely gutted by fire, Hundreds of spectators were attracted within a few minutes as flames from the car shot up several feet in the air, The fire threatened to spread to two gas tanks which were only eight feet away but with the ar- rival of the Whitby Fire Brigade the flames were soon brought under control, although the rubber tires continued to smoke for some time, As soon as the fire was being handled cars was routed through and the traffic jam dispersed. Returning From Fishing The blaze is believed to have started from a broken gas line, as it broke out just after J. PF. Thwaites, proprietor of the College Lunch service station, had installed a new fuel pump, Mr, Nightingale, who was returning from a fishing vacation in North Bay and Peter- borough, pulled into the station af ter his car was damaged in a minor collision with a car driven by Ro- bert Ruddy, of Pickering. As soon as the car was started flame flashed from the engine and while the alarm was being sound- ed the owner and Mr. Thwaites tried to control the fire by throwing sand on the blaze, but to no avail, The fire enveloped the car, a 1038 Ford, and all the luggage used by the owner and his 17-year-old son for their vacation was completely destroyed, The car itself, which is insured, is a total wreck, except for two tires which looked as if they might be worth salvaging. Apart from regret at losing the car, Mr, Nightingale's main com- ment was, "well, this is a fine way to end a holiday." AWARD CONTRACT WATER TOWER BASE Toronto Man Will Start Work Soon, Cost $3,700 Bids for the erection of footings and foundation for the new water tower were opened at a special meeting of the P.U.C. last night. The contract was awarded to K. A, Morrison of Toronto who had made the lowest bid for the contract, The tower will be located on a P.U.C.- owned corner of the Kinsmen Mem- orial Park, Mr, Morrison, who is presently completing a similar contract for Scarborough Township, received the contract for the work on his bid of $3,700 which was $375 less than the next lowest bid and $7,005 less than the highest bid, Bids were re« ceived from two local firms and from three out-of-town contractors.
