Phone 703, All Departments Must Have Faith Massey Tells Rotary Gathering hd The former High Commissioner to London, and Canadian ambassa~ dor to the United States, the Right Honorable Vincent Massey, C.H., was the guest speaker at the 25th anniversary meeting of the Port Hope Rotary Club, held last night in St. Mark's Parish Hall, Port Hope. The meeting, which was deemed "very successful" by Port Hope officials, was attended by well over 100 visiting Rotarians in- cluding several members of the Whitby Rotary Club, In addition to members from other area clubs, a large conting- ent of members from both Oshawa and Toronto, sponsors of the Port Hope Club at its inception 25 years ago, were in atténdance. Mr. Massey was introduced to the gathering by Dr. J. B. Reynolds, well known Ontario agriculturist, who stated that Mr. Massey was one of the most able and disting- uished statesmen in the country. He added that he was a member of one of the most distinguished fam- ilies in the Dominion, Dr. Reynolds pointed out that Mr. Massey had made a choice be- tween two anniversary celebrations, the Port Hope Rotarian celebration 'and the 100th anniversary celebra- , tion of 'one of Canada's most fa- mous manufacturing concerns, the . Massey-Harris Company of Tor- onto, which was also Yeing cele- brated last night. He said that the 'members of the Port Hope club were indeed honored that Mr, Mas- sey had accepted the invitation to address the Rotary Club. Mr. Massey addressed the club on the theme that all Canadians should rise up to their responsibil- ities in the future of the world stressing the fact that too few Canadian citizens really under- stand just what an important country in world affairs Canada has become. Prior to reaching the main theme of his address Mr. Massey stated that he had been honored to ac- cept the invitation to speak to the i gathering saying that he was proud to be listed as a honorary member of the Port Hope Rotary Olub, He said that the occasion of a 25th an- niversary was indeed a memorable event which exemplified 25 years of a fine collective communal effort on the part of the club. He said that the Port Hope organization had truly lived up to their creed by extending friendship and service to all for so lengthy a period. Mr, Massey stated that it was in- deed wonderful to be back in Can- ada after an absence of nearly 11 years, However, he added that es- pecially during the war years had he been proud to be a Canadian and to meet so many other Cana- dians in the course of a day's work at Canada House in London. He said that the area around Canada House 'was almost like piece of Canada because it contained such other Canadian institutions as the Beaver Club, Canadian Army Head- quarters and a number of. railway and insurance firms of the Domin- on, In speaking of the British people Mr, Massey stated that the endur- ance and courage of the people in the old country would see them through the difficult times now facing them. "Self discipline. and a surprisingly good temper did not desert them with V.E. Day" he said, "and it never will." Mr. Massey continued saying that some people in the world thought that Britain was finished during the early days of the war but" he added, "how wrong they were. Some people believe that Britain is fin- ished now.and once again they are wrong. The qualities exhibited by the British people during the war will carry them through again, Make no mistake about that." Massey called upon the people of Canada to be more con- sclentious of Canada and her ca- pabilities stating that we have a creative job to do much the same as the Fathers of Confederation had to do, He said that there still and always will remain many tasks which must be done. He stated that Canada as a na- ' tlon achieved maturity during the first World War and put it to use in the second World War. He said Rotary Speaker RIGHT HON. VINCENT MASSEY who last night addressed the 25th anniversary meeting of the Port Hope Rotary Club which was at- tended by many Whitby and Osh- awa Rotarians, Mr. Massey recent- ly returned from a 10-year tour of duty in London, England, where he was Canadian High Commissioner to London, that many Canadians do not real- ize the importance of their native land and fail to realize that Can- ada has qmade tremendous strides during last 7 years. Continding Mr, Massey said that Canada'is now in a state of transis tion and that we in Canada must all play a part in solving world problems. He said that although the war had ended in victory we still had not attained peace. He sald "we have finished fighting but still have not discovered the peace we fought for." In closing Mr, Massey stated that Canada was extremely fortunate in having all the resources at her command that she has. However, he pointed out that in addition to resources of various kinds the people of Canada must have faith in themselves and a strong belief | lif: in Canada and what the word Can- ada means among the powers of the world today.

Kean, stated today that all main roads in the county are again cleared of snow but that some of the roads to the north are still blocked in places. He said that although the snow problem appears to have been licked by a great deal of hard work on the part of the snow plow crews, another problem, that of mud, is now coming to the fore, Mr. Kean said that the light frost to which the ground was subjected to in On- tario County has disappeared and in its place has left almost a sea of mud in :nany places, He theor- ized that only if we get a fairly long spell of sunshine and mild weather can motorists hope to travel the roadways in safety and not become bogged in the muddy regions, Mr, Kean stated that bulldoz- ers are finding the muddy going extremely difficult in places while travelling from one snowed in section to another and that this hag slowed up operations considerably, He said that his of- fice is continually berated by in- dignant citizens who inform him that they wish to have a snow plow or bulldozer despatched im- mediately to their area for the purpose of clearing away the Snow. Mr. Kean urged the citizens who are still in difficulty to co- operate with his department and to rest assured that every avail- able machine is on the job and striving to get all roads free as soon as humanly possible.

WANTED! DEAD HORSES and CATTLE For Free Pickup Telephon e Charges GORDON YOUNG LTD, Toronto Has Minister Right To Say What He Pleases? Baptist Sermon Sunday * Rev. Fred Darnell, minister of the Whitby Baptist Church, will speak on a very contentious sub- ject on Sunday evening when he will give as his sermon "Hag a minister the right to say what he pleases in the pulpit?" In speaking of the subject Mr. Darnell said that "recent events in the religious world at Truro, Nova Scotia, and elsewhere have raised this question of the min- ister's authority rs a spokesman in the pulpit. How far does the church of our times believe that the minister speaks by the inspir- ation of the spirit of God? Where shall we draw the line between the minister's right to speak as a prophet of God and his duty to confine himself to an interpreta- tion of the mind of that particu- lar denomination of which he is the servant? Mr, Darnell stated that these are not easy questions to answer in the light of our moral and in- tellectual times. He stated that he will invite the congregation to think seriously of this subject that surely has vital implications for our contemporary religious economy, During the evening service at the Baptist Church several of the old and best loved hymns of the church will be shown upon the Film-A-Sound screen and the con- gregation will join with the mu- sic from the screen in singing the music. Mr. Robert Wagstaff of the Presbyterian choir will be the guest soloist at the service and special music will be rendered by the choir of the Baptist Church with Mrs. W. G. Summers at the organ, An exceptionally large congre- gation attended last Sunday's ser- vice according to Mr. Darnell and he anticipates that a still lar- ger number will be on hand to join in the service and hear the presentation of the timely and challenging subject of the minis- ter's address.
