Bill Hawkshaw, . youthful but energetic degree Marshall was highly congratulated by senior officers on the splendid presentation of the Initiation Cere- mony. The members of this team are all teen-agers and as was pointed out it is unusual to see such youthful members present such dif- ficult work. The Degree Team were greatly assisted by Bro. H. McGuire of Whitby, whose music was most inspiring. The visiting officers, members and candidates were welcomed by Bro. John Powers stressed the im- portance of the step taken and the necessity of exemplifying in their daily lives the principles of the Order. Guest speaker for the evening was Bro, Cecil Lockwood P.C.R. of Court Duffins and one of the men primarily responsible for t he founding of this Court. His sub- ject was "We are Master Builders" and in a stirring and inspiring ad- dress pointed out the great work that could be accomplished by the Soclety for mankind, mot working as individuals but as one Fraternal minded group acting with faith, "i courage and initiative, Bro. Lock- . "wood concluded his remarks by em- phasizing hte fact that Canadian Forestry was democracy in action and if Fraetrnalism perished man- kind was doomed. Brother Charles Ferguson JP.C R. of Court Oshawa gave a very in- structive example of Court proce- dure and stressed the necessity of meetings being conducted in an or- derly and Fraternal manner.

Through spokesmen, the priests charged that christianity had been outawed in red-controlled areas, Chinese christians, particularly priests, who refused to renounce their faith had been imprisoned or killed and Europeans had been sub- jected to such gross ill-treatment they were "slowly martyred, with the reds then attributing their deaths to disease." No distinction had been made be- tween Protestants and Catholics, all being lumped together 'as re- presentatives of "American relig- ion" by the Communists, who re- cognized two principal enemies re- ligion and the United States. In Jehol Province of North China the persecution has "raged violent~ ly" for mere than a year. Thirty of the 40 missions in Je- hol have been over-run by the reds, four large missions burned and 26 stripped with even the floors and rafters carried away. The wave of persecution began in Ninghsia province, in North Cen- tral China along the inner Mongol- ian border, in 1935, when a band of Communists unsuccessfully attacked the strong Catholic mission at Siaohiaopan and looted 21 smaller undefended missions where the al- tars were burned and religious images were profaned. ceremony be kept: in mind at all times.

The committee in charge of this success- ful event were Bros. S. Stark, J. Dixon, J. Shaw and B. Young. A skating party will be held shortly and a sleigh ride party is planned at the farm of Bro. Bill Collins, Pickering. Officers and members wish a spec covery to Troe J. Flavell, Oshawa, L. Haynes, Bowmanville and Jas. MacRae, Whitby.

We have beer placed under Trenton Station along with four other Ontario Squadrons with G/C, Bradshaw as 00. for the squadrons under Trenton Station, G/C Bradshaw has been active in Air Cadet move. ments for some time and is the type of fellow who will get things done. Here are a few of the items that were discussed when the of- ficers of the various squadrons met at Trenton last week: (1) There is talk of trips to Trenton for the ca- dets of the OCS. (2) Arrange- ments are being attempted to give cadets more flying time. 3) The Alr Cadet League is endeavouring to obtain a new issue of uniforms for the air cadets. These are some of the inviting plans that are being made for members of the Air Ca- dets of Canada. Did you have a good time at Camp Borden last year? That's good; because that is the site of our summer camp for this year. Yes sir, back to the camp we love so well. This will be the third camp we have had there, so the older members should know their way around pretty well. Last Thursday night, as every Thursday night, was "hobby" night. This is a non-compulsory meeting of the O.CS. on a social scale. Last week C. O. Beal showed a film from Trenton entitled "The Fighting Lady". I believe this pic- ture was shown at one of the local theatres awhile back, The picture we saw was a U. S. Naval film upon which the other picture was based. It was a picture of the U. 8. Navy, and particulasly of an aircraft car. rier. The only story in the picture eli-- ie b teiitsd iaati itis sett Les E ELL t ATKINS HOSIERY « LINGERIE 5 SIMCOE ST.

PHONE 162 was the story of war, its destruc- tion, and horror of which we in Canada know very little, with the exception of the armed forces. It would do well for those who think and talk in terms of another war to remember the horror, and cost of lives that war brings, and learn to live in peace. It is about time at least one generation of people could live their lives without being killed by war or seeing thelr child- ren slaughtered by this menace to humanity. This Thursday night, January 29, will be a compulsory parade night which will be held in the armories. Attendance has become very irs- portant, so be sure you are on hand Thursday, Jan. 29, at the Ar- mouries at 7.30.

In our total trade with the world we are in a good position but not in that part which is done with the U.S. dollar countries: Other countries with whom we do business cannot pay us in full, either in cash or in goods, for the things they buy from us. This situation is made more serious than ever before because so many our regular customers, have not recovered from the war. It may be some time yet before they get on their feet sufficiently to help put things right. Meantime, we must find ways and means of balancing our own books and reducing our U.S. dollar deficit. There are two things we can do at the moment... cut down unnecessary purchases from the U.S. dollar area and increase our production of goods that can be sold fo those countries to balance accounts. It's an emergency and should be treated as such: ; LIVING STANDARD HIGH WE CAN PAY FOR THESE THINGS IF WE CURTAIL OUR SPENDING ON IMPORTED NON-ESSENTIALS OR TRIMMINGS ; ;: AT LEAST FOR AWHILE your Collector of Customs and umber in all correspondence.
