Mr, Wilton who is now in Toronto on furlough. Plans to Avert Panic Faced with the probability that if Assam were bombed heavily by the Japanese, the -quarters of a millon coolies on tea es. tates might become panicky and homesick and in their trek back to Central and Southern India would choke the main route of travel, the India' Government inaugurated & civil movement office. Volunteering serves the Telugu mission fields of Avanigadda and Vuyyuro, under the Canadian Baptist Foreign Mission Board, was appointed an officer of the new movement, which was asso- ciated with the civil defense depart-. ment, It became his privilege, as he ex- presses it, to assist' in the plotting of routes which would be followed by coolies evacuating down the Brah tra Valley and planning and' ing overnight camps to serve evacuees on their proposed 20- mile-a-day march by foot. Every third camp was # supply station, provided with rations of food, medi- cal supplies and staffed by a quali- fled medical officer, It was amus- ing, relates Mr. Wilton, to watch the coolle replenish his two days' supply of food, emptying his ration of rice and curry in a square of cloth and knotting it carefully. Rice Supplies Protected An important feature of the ra- tioning program was the necessary and frequent changing of rice sup- plies to prevent mildewing. At one point--a strategic river crossing-- 12,000 pounds of rice was kept in reserve, Many boats were also kept in readiness for river crossings. Al- though the wholesale bombing anti- oipated was never realized, says Mr, Wilton) the route plotted by the ci- vil movement was used to a certain extent by evaouees in February, 1044 when the Japanese Army made a successful drive north, reaching within five miles of the lines of communication at Manipur Road. i When fears of the bombing of Assam on a large scale by the Japanese were allayed, Mr. Wilton offered his services to the YM.CA, a part of the military organi- zation of India, Holding the rank of captain, he enlisted in an in- tensive program of organizing, building and supervising YM.C.A. camps, which served an army com- of British, Indians, West alities, pushing toward Burma. "Many ~ questions governed the establishment of each new camp," states Mr, Wilton. "We would ask, "is it permanent? are we to build, rent or tent? Where will we pro- cure building equipment, canteen dishes, games?" "Happy Camp" It was not easy establishing YMCA camps, catering to the needs of so mixed an army. Mr, Wilton tells of "Happy Camp," as the YMCA centre at Chittagong was known and which provided one camp for the British and another for the Indian soldiers. 'The idea of re- laxation to the British Tommy was to slump 'in a chair with his feet under a table and enjoy complete quiet with a book and a mug of tea. But for the Indian soldier relaxa- tion was found in a group of 50, the majority talking loudly, and en- tertained with drums, fife and violin music.

LESLIE WILTON missionary from India who will speak here Monday night, ervision by Mr. Wilton, and involved considerable wartime tmvel, Terrible Famine Mr, Wilton retains grim meme ories of those days Of terrible famine--OChristmas time, 1943, with people fighting over garbage cans and abandoning starving, whimper ing babies because there was no food, Both the British and the Indian armies, says Mr. Wilton, reduced their rations to a mini- mum to spare as much as possible to feed the hungry people. In spite of the generosity of the British soldiers, thousands died of starva< tion because of the prevailing cus tom the Hindus could mot eat the "bully beef" shared by the British Tommies. Mr. Wilton claims_his war ser vice was made possible by the efficiency of his wife, who took over his duties as padre (as mis- slonaries are known in India). Supervising the work of the field with its 12 churches and a mems- bership of 3,000, Mrs. Wilton also assumed the administration of a boys' boarding school with a total enrolment of 140, giving special mothering care to the 70 boarders, Serving in an advisory capacity, ; with the Indian pastors of the churches, Mrs. Wilton sat with them regularly in council, and her husband is justly proud of her achievements holding the fort dur- ing his absence from his mission stations. : BUSY CHINESE PRINTERS Between the years 932 and 968, the major Chinese classics were printed in 130 volumes, the same in God's sight.

Major Simester was introduced by J. Harry Rigg who told of the Shenyera fine career in the Salva- tion Army and in the Auxiliary Bervices for over flve years overseas. The program for the evening began with a two-minute silence period, during which the pipers played the Lament, the room was darkened and lights slowly rose on a cross on the stage to the memory fo those who had fallen in both wars. During the excellent dinner, a toast to the King was drunk and afterwards a sing song led by W. Wagstaff was held. Both Mr, Wag- staff and Ken Mayberry entertain- ed the gathering with their fine renditions of well-known favorites. Mr. Mayberry's tenor voice was much in demand and he was en- cored several times as was the pian- ist for the evening, B. Kappy. Besides the guest speaker, others at the head table were: President A.

The court of Revision in Hamilton allowed a similar appeal while the Coutt of Revision in St. Catharines has re- served judgment. An appeal in Kitcheneh is still pending. Improper to Add Anything 1. 8. Hyman, chairman of the Court of Revision here, said that since the county judge here had not yet heard the 1945 appeal, he con- sidered it improper for the Court of Revision to add anything to the case at the present time. Mr. Creighton said a decision was still being awaited which might be considered to set the law on this question, He agreed that the handl- ing of the case last night should not prejudice the appeal to the county judge. Mr. Anderson had proposed to present evidence in connection with the Woolworth appeal and to argue the other two appeals on this basis. On the present basis, the Kresge business assessment amounts to $81,270. while Woolworth's is $12,010 and Zellers' $21,175.
