She went through the ice and a small companion who was playâ€"| ing with her did not go through, made his way to shore and attracted .the. attention of Mrs. S. Armand, 77 Lakeâ€"| shore road, to the little girl‘s plight. By this time Dawn was hanging on to the icy sides of the hole she made in the ice when she went through. Mrs. St. Armand called to the little ; girl‘s uncle who was nearby and he‘ ran out on the ice and brought her safely in to shore. To do so he was risking plunging through into the icy water. . Firemen and police were called and they rushed to the lake but by the time they arrived the little girl was safely at home being rubbed back to warmth by her anxious mother. She, appeared little the worse for her ex-| perience aside from the fact that she, was chilled and shocked.

The usual business meeting was held with the president, Harry Atkinson in the chair. After the business of the meeting, Captain Vollick gave an impromptu address on "A Day in the Life of a Church Army Cadet". His, talk, was very interesting, and gave the memâ€" bers some idea Oof the routine . of Church Army Life. ; He recalled the men of the army of the last war and felt the Empire had no reason to be ashamed of them. "I have seen some of the new soldiers of toâ€" day," he said, "and I feel they will carâ€" ry on the traditions of the Empire and Canada will have cause to be proud of them and the day they will carry through their duties no matter what they may have to face."

Comrade Barney Sky proposed the toast to "The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Legion. In eloquent words he spoke of the sorvice given by the women of the Empire. They were indeed the st.rengt.h and bulwark of the home front.

Longmore gave the toast to His Majesty‘s Forces He spoke briefly but effectively of Army, Navy and Air. Force, their tasks in â€"the last war and in the present one, with highlights on some of their great deeds. There was a pleasing variation from previous years in that each branch of service was given individaul response. In replying to the toasit to Dr. S. L. Honey touched on wrous as well as the serious wrous as well as the serious side. Brother James Cowan, in Highland garb, brought down the house with his humcorous Scottish songs. A quartette by Messrs J. Jago. P. Harâ€" ris, C. Watkins and G. Hale was much appreciated. In replying to the toast to the Navy, Bro. W. O.

It said also that Greek troops had advanced deen» into Albania and occupied several importâ€" ant heights. Greek and British bombing planes are continuing to devastate the Alâ€" banian coast while ‘British planes last night flew over the Adriatic Sea and bombed Bari, Italian point of embarkâ€" ation. The Italians still have a semblance of an army in the Pindus or central section of the frontier but it is in _aimless retreat and Greek snipers are isaid to be cutting off whole squads, In the south the Greeks are reported to be making local attacks without lmeeting concerted resistance. Frontier reports received in Belgrade said that Greek artillery has engaged ‘in a heavy duel with Italian guns in the Koritza sector. Greeck guns are Isaicl to be pouring an almost continuâ€" ous rain of shells into the city of Koritza. The duel started yvesterday ! and is continuing todary. Italians are reported to have brought reinforeceâ€" 'ments up to Koritza in the last few | days. New advances by the Gregk troops on two fronts were reported today from London. In the Pindus sector Greek infantry has reached the fronâ€" tier about two miles from Koritza and operations are continuing. In the last war 100 miles an hour was good speed, but toâ€"day 400 miles an hour was a commonplace. He showed R. A. F. had done wonderful work unâ€" der the handicap of distance and numâ€" erical odds. The visit of Premier Molotov, of the USS.KR., to Berlin, was said today to be a calculated rebuff. to Great Britain and to have efieotwely spiked an Engâ€" lish plan makfng for better Angloâ€" Russian reélations. Bro. James Cowan at this point in the programme gave the "Wiggle Wagâ€" gle of the Kilt", the way it should be done and the way it should be sung. The final toast of the evening was given by Bro., P. A. Boyce, whose adâ€" dress was highlighted with humour and story. Democracy was the chief theme of his remarks and in picturesqgue way he showed what democracy meant. "It is our better way of living"he said, ‘"handed down from father to son. It is worth fighting for! Fight for it in whatever â€"you can for without it, life is not worth while." Under democracy he said, there is free speech free thouâ€" ght, free press, the right to vote, to work, to play, to worship. Under dictatorship men do not do as they would, or should, but as they are told. "Under democracy the British Navy fights", he said, "while under dictatorâ€" ship the Nazis scuttle their boats". He had little patience with those who said deimmocracy and Christianity have failed. "If there is any Ifailure it is we who have failed", he said, He used the symbol of the lighthouse for democracy and the better way of life. "In th« window there is a light that burns, and that light will not go out," he conâ€" cluded. In the Epirus sector th Greeks are said to bevond Mazarekia. African operations are proceeding in Kassala and Gallabat. Pifty more Italian â€"prisoners «~were captured in Gallabat.
