It would properly be considered the height of folly to advocate the fullest maintenance and equipment of the Canadian Army overseas, and at the same time to neglect the Canadian Army at home. Indeed, if anyone proposed any such shortâ€" sighted policy, the answer would be promptly and properly, made that it would be impossible to mainâ€" tain amy Army overseas, without keeping up the Home Front. It is fram the Home Front that the Army overseas is maintained. The officers, the organization, the reserves, the maintenance of the overseas forces depends definitely upon the Home Front. There is an Army overseas with the Canaâ€" dian Forces in this war, as in the last, that is doing magnificent work to support the Canadian Army. Any soldier or sailor or airman will quickly give you the name of that Auxiliary Armyâ€"the salvation Army. Wherever the Canadian forces may be, the Salvation Army is there with its great services. This year the Government of Canada has recognized the great work of the Salvation Army to the extent that the War Services work of the Salvation Army is being financed by government money. This relieves the Salvation Army from the necessity of appsaling to the general public for funds to carry on its overseas work. But the govâ€" ernment has not providea funds for the work of the Salvation Army on the Home Front. This wonderful patriotic work for the reclaiming of the erring and the unfortunate in past years has been financed by two special appeals to the public each year. This ‘year, in view of the many calls of the day, the Salvation Army is but making the one pubâ€" lic appealâ€"this month. In past years the Salvaâ€" tion Army has met with the most generous reâ€" sponse for this part of its work for humanity. This year the response should be more pronounced than ever, for the work grows through tions. All should support the Home Front work of the Salvation Army, because it is patriotic work, worthy work, work for humanity. Indirectly, it is work for the man overseas, because to maintain the Salvation Army overseas, it is essential that the Home Front be kept at its busiest and best.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: The average man toâ€"day is inclined to be disâ€" gruntled and disgusted with the standing political parties of the day. It seems so apparent that the said standing partiesâ€"each and allâ€"appear to be more concerned with the smooth running of the party machines than with the smooth running Oof the country‘s affairsâ€"more taken up with the charms of office rather than the duties of policy. In days of peace the public allowed politics to degenerate into a sort of gameâ€"a game that most of the electors believed to be more or less devious, to put it mildly. When the political barkers howled for the people to raily to the respective tents, the response was general, though there was no general confidence in the straightness of the game. There was, however, a lazy and goodnatured tolerance with the proceedings, and the machines entrenched themiselves on the plea that this was what the peoâ€" ple wanted. With the progress of the war, howâ€" ever, the people in general are alive to the seriousâ€" ness of the situation. Toâ€"day the public do not desire these political games. What the public seek toâ€"day is an allâ€"out war effort, and an allâ€" out study and effort that the people will not lose in the victory of arms all for which so much is being sacrificed toâ€"day.

How much of real leaâ€" dership has any of them shown? It is true that the C.C.F. has displayed more vigour and energy â€"more concrete policy, especially for after the war days, than any other of the oldâ€"line ipolitical orâ€" ganizations. Because of this, there hasd been some swing evident on the part of the public to the C. C. E. fold. But the C. C.

The battle in this regard is not by any means all overseas. Just a few days ago there was a skirmish as close as Toronto. In that;great city of patriots and poliâ€" ticians and prudes, a city controller proposed that a law be passed giving members of municipal councils, legislatures and parliaments, and even candidates for such offices, the right of action against any newspaper or other publication, when the said candidates or public servant is dissatisfied with the report made of any of his or her speeches. The danger to liberty is all the more apparent when it is remembered that the city controller proâ€" posing this new decree is a wellâ€"known "antiâ€"Fasâ€" cist." A little thought will show that no Fascist could servo the cause of servitude more effectively than this leftâ€"minded gentleman would do. When Fascists and antiâ€"Fascists alike are seeking in every way to curb liberty then either liberty or the wouldâ€"be curbers may be considered as in dire peril. Public men alréady are well protected, indeed, in all their rights, so farâ€"as newspapers are conâ€" cerned by the laws in regard to The legislaâ€" lation proposed is not designed to protect public men from libel but rather is to exemipt them from any criticism, even by repeating their own words Under the jproposed legislation the municipal or provincial or Federal servant would be the judge as to whether the newspaper should be put upon trial or not. The wording of the proposed legislaâ€" tion has so broad a scope as to amiaze any thoughtâ€" ful person that such legislation should be seriously proposed. "Anybody who is injured by an unfair report in any newspaper of his words spoken or acts done while in public office or while a candiâ€" dats therefor shall have a right of action againt the proprietors and publishers of such newspapers, triable before a jury in any court of competent jurisdiction."‘ The libel law handicaps newspapers in the discharge of their public duty. The propos,â€" ed legislation would stifle the press completely beâ€" cause it goes the step further both in the alleged cause for action and in the difficulty of defence. It would be a heyâ€"day for the political gangster who would have no curb on his imagination or his vocabulary, while the public would be the. chief sufferer. It would not make for true reports of adâ€" dresses. It would compel reports to suit the speakâ€" ers. A candidate or an office holder could claim that the report of the speech was too short or too long. No doubt the publisher would be boiled in oil for that most heinous offence of all against the eg’otifiical demagogueâ€"no report at all. The proposal by the Toronto controller might well be passed without particular notice, as one of those wild idgeas that newspapers so often kindly pass up without notice. It has importance, however, in the fact that it is a sign of the disposition of many in public life to regiment freedom. The pubâ€" lic interest lies chiefly in the fact that every curb on the press is an infringement on the freedom of the people. The present war has proven that the dictatorial regimes always find it necessary to curb the newspapers before the people can be successâ€" fully chained. ‘WMMWM | _ Those who wWere present were: Mrs.W. ; GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER |\| |Christopher, Mrs. E.

Ministers from All Over North Attend Lorrain Fellowship The Annual Lorrain Fellowship for ministers of the United Church of Canâ€" ada in Northern Ontario was held at Camp Lorrain, on Lake Temiskaming, from : August 31st, to September 4th. Petween 40 and 50 ministers and stuâ€" donts assembled. They came from as far away as Nakina, the farthest west field in the Toronto Conference, from Algoâ€" ma, Sudbury, Muskoka, Nipissing, Temâ€" iskaming and Cochrane Districts, and from Northâ€"Western Quebec. The Fellowship was under the direcâ€" tion of Rev. J. C. Cochrans, D. D., the Superintendent of Missions for Northâ€" ern Ontario. Principal Davidson, of Emmanuel Colâ€" lege, Toronto, delivered a series of thoughtâ€"provoking lectures upon, what he referred to as, "A Crsed for Today," Wrting in Judith Robinson‘s "News," Denn Pratt sums up the Selective Service setâ€"up in t words:â€" ‘"The mountain laboured, and broug} forth a hunk of cheese." cmphasising particularly the meaning of Belief in God, in Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit; and the place and minisâ€" try of the Church. World conditions were discussed by Rev. Jessse H. Arnup, D. D., Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the United Church, in a series of addresses under the general themsg, "The Outreach of the Canadian Churchss into Lands Abroad." In the course of his messages Dr. Arnup traced the history of the varâ€" ious denominational groups in the outâ€" reach of their various missionary enterâ€" prises throughout the world. Especially interesting and helpful. were the facts presented relative to the situaion of the Church in The Far East in a time of war. _ "Social Reconstruction in Rural Amâ€" erica" was the title of a series of. lecâ€" tures delivered by Dr. Thomas Alfred Tripp, of New York City. Dr. Tripp is the National Directer of the Town and Country Department of the Congregaâ€" Church in the U.SA. His lectures and forums dealt with the 'practical work and nroblems of the loâ€" cal pastor in the administration and diâ€" rection of the programme of the local charge. Dealing especially with the Church in the small town or village, and in the rural areas Dr. Tripp‘s experigence enabled him to make a contribution of inestimable value to the men present. For th ensuing yvear, Dr. J. O. Cochâ€" rane, D. D., of North Bay, was elected as Honary President and Dean; Rev. W. L. Cullis, Kirkland Lake, was named Presâ€" ident; Rev. A. P. Addison, of Haileyâ€" bury, as Viceâ€"President; H. CGarson Matâ€" Many from Cochrane Disâ€" trict and Other Districts in North. getr, Mattawa, as Secrotary, and Rev. R. J.
