Subscription Price: 2.00 per year; Foreign, 2.50 WHPORTANT MEETINGS Following the general election of March, 1940, when the King govern- ment Was returned to power with an unusually large number of mem- bers of parliament, its political organization, namely, National Lib- eral Federation, discontinued its main operations and there were no activities in connection with this body s office in the nation's capital as well as its monthly bulletin, This was not an unusual course to follow for any political party, par- ticularly in wartime. However, political events have been moving at a quick pace lately and five reasons have presented themselves for a change of attitude. First, the other polftical parties, notably the progressive-conservatives and the C:C.F., have been intensifying their political activities to a great extent. Second the liberal party has suffered some severe setbacks iin the latest tests of public opin- ion in various sections of the na- tion. Third, there have been signs of sharp discontent or trouble within the liberal party itself and these have been seen inside as well as outside of the House of Com- mons, Fourth, there has been no meeting of the National Liberal Federation since the beginning of World War II. Fifth, regardless when the next general election wil take place, there must be made in advance certain preparations with- in this political organization for such a national test. Therefore, important meetings have been summoned in Ottawa in order to revive the political organization and functions of the liberal party itself for the five reasons mention- ed as well as for tha purpose of hearing the opinions of the rank and file on numerous p a COLD FACTS The authorities in Ottawa have been giving warnings that house- holders and others should prepare themselves properly in advance in regard to fuel supplies for the coming winter and the informa- tion available along Parliament Hill has indicated clearly and em phatically that this advice must be taken seriously sinca the coal situ. ation in Canada has been in a pos- ition of decreasing supplies and in- creasing needs on the domestic scene for some time. When the latest coal production figures were examined, these disclosed that by July 1, 1943, there were 24,389 men working in coal mining in Canada against 25,655 men on the same date a year ago, that is in 1942, with the whole tonnage produced falling down about 9 in that time. There has been a shatp re- duction in the amount of coal available for consumption in Can- ada, judging by the amount of coal produced here as well as imported and the quantity which has to bey exported. Indeed, in the first seven months period of this year, this decrease has involved 800,000 tons. Then again, another important in- dication of the coal situation in Canada has been the rise in the amount of coal imported in, this same first seven months period of 1943 as against the amount of sup- plies since the coal imports have been 57.3 of these supplies. this year whereas these wene 56.8 in the same period of last year. PARLIAMENT AND EMERGENCY From time to time reports have indicated that Parliament fn Otta- wa might be called back if any emergency should arise either con- nected with events in the war or in domestic affairs. This is correct since on July 24, 1943, when Parli- ament ended its session which started on January 28, 1943, and sat for 119 days, this fourth s s- sion of the 19th Parliament was adjourned by Deputy Speaker Joseph Pradette on the motion of Prime Minister Mackenzie King. In other words, Canada s Parliament can be summoned back quickly and suddenly at any time if any em- ergency should warrant such action on the part of the King govern-) ment for any cause arising in con- nection with developments in the war or otherwise either inside or) outside of Canada. SHARE IN EARNINGS From time to time criticisms have been heard about the Canad- ian Broadcasting Corporation's pol- icy of broadcasting often pro- assembly line. CLEAR LAKE MLD.

RAPID EXPANSION The extremely rapid pace at which Canada is moving now in its war program is emphasized in the disclosure that, while last year this country s shipyards produced about 850,000 tons of merchant shipping in addition to two or three hund- red smaller naval craft, yet it hes and a half millions tons of ships, poses.

A. F. Mosquito is one of the fastest: aircraft in operation in the world, and has the most widely dispersed production of any aeroplane today. It is in service in several versions ag a day and night bomber, a long-range day and night fighter intruder, etc. with varying roles, The basic fighter has four 20mm. cannon and four .803 machine guns, all mounted in the fuselage nose, giving highly con centrated fire. The basic bomber carries 200 Ibs. Of bombs with a fuel range which brings practically the whole of Germany within its reach. The Chief feature of this remarkable plana is the fact. that it is constructed of wood and the hull is designed in two separate halves. This facilitates ease of as- sembly in interior fitments before the final assembly. This picture is the first taken at a factory in Britain showing the production of the Mosquito.

House members on the war ex- pendityr s committee will be back in Ottawa to start work. on Sept- ember 18th, The spade work is done by sub-committees and in the past two years has already turned in some searching reports on many phases of the war effort. I talked with the chairman recently, Hughes Gleaver (Liberal, Halton) and he feels the committee has a trem- endously important fanction, and he likes the way members of all political affiliations get together around the committee table and dig into a job. He is a devotee of eanosing, lots of sunshine and his tanned, brick red face shows he s stored up lots of energy for the work ahead. There are 24 members of parliament on the committee. see The bureau of statistics here states Canada clos d its 1942-43 crop year with a carry-over 601,500,000 bushels of wheat 121 million bushels greater than the previous record carry-over up to July 31, 1941. You know an un- sual feature this past crop year was the fact that almost a third was carried over on the farms. An outstanding development was the use of wheat for animal feed and by distilleries for industrial al- cohol. It is interesting to know that in the past crop year, too, the people of Canada only consumed about half as much wheat as went into animal feed and alcohol pro- duction. It was estimated that nearly 8 million bushels of wheat were used for alcohol production, making 14 million gallons. eee Russell Smart, real property administrator here, has warned that if the pressure continues on areas where there is a shortage of housing it may be necessary to consider regulations restricting UNITED W.M.S. REGULAR MEETING The regular meeting of the W.MS. was held in St. Andrew s Hall, last Thursday. Mrs. Faweett had charge of the worship service. She used one of a series of services given at Domin- ion board, the topic being A World Charter. The world re- lationship of Christians is no after- thought, was in God's plan from the beginning. God gave His serv- ants a world charter and set before them a world goal, for thus did He speak to them, In thee shall all nations be blessed. Ask of me, adn I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the utter- most parts of the earth for thy possession. r believeth in the name of the Lord shall be saved. How can they believe im Him of whom. they have not heard? How shall they preach except they be sent. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel. Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I have commanded you, The new study books, For All of Life by the co-authors, Dr. and Mrs, W. H. Wiser and a comp- anion to it, Out of the Overfiow by Dr. Kenneth Beaton, were intro; duced by Mrs. S T. Armstrong- For all of Life tells of the World church as it touches the everyday life of millions of people in their own homes and villages, teaching the illiterate and provid- ing them with literature, giving in- dustrial instruction, preventing sickness and suffering by health education but above all, building up in-each village a Christian fellowship. In Out of the Overflow , the author tells of the many-sided and women, as they have gone out from the mission stations to bring fullness of life to the people in the outlying villages of Asia, Af. rica, Trinidad, China, Japan, India and Korea. These books will provide a fas- cinating study for the next few months. The October meeting will be the Autumn Thankoffering meeting and the guest speaker will be Mrs. Arthur Thompson, the Presbyterial president. The committee in charg will be Mesdames H. G. Loree, McIntyre, A. E. White and McBrien. Supplies Shipped by Parkland Red Cross The ladies of the Parkland Red Gross Society meets regularly, twice a month, in the Community hall to sew and knit. During the past six months, they have sent to the Calgary division, six shipments, consisting of the following: 150 articles of children s cloth- ing, 13 quilts, 72 knitted articles, (18 helmets, 3 sleeveless sweaters, 4 long sleeved sweaters, 17 turtle neck tuck-ins , 4 girl's sweaters, 18 pair of socks; 7 pair of seamen s long socks and 1 pair gloves); 5 woolen blankets from Fairfield s woolen mills. A box of used clothing was also sent to the Red Gross Superfluity Shop in Calgary. Canned fruit, jam and jelly is now being collected for the Junior Red Cross hospital. HARVESTING IS WELL ADVANCED Threshing in Area East of Foothills Will be Finished This Week With the exception of Friday evening, when there was a light snowfall, accompd ied by a strong north wind, the weather, during tke past week was fine for har- vesting. The storm lasted for a few hours only, and by Saturday morning, the snow had melted. Since then, the weather has been dry: Harvesting is well advanced east af the foothills, There is still a little- straight combining to be done, but most of the machines are on their last jobs. If the fine weather continues, the threshing in this area should be finished by the end of this week. In the foothills, west of town, service of our missionaries, men, there is some harvesting to be done, The soil is very dry. Cover crops have made little growth. Un- less there is rain, there will not be much benefit in cultivating the land this fall, as there is not suf- ficient moisture to germinate weed seeds. PLANE SOUNDS FIRE ALARM Bircles H. D, McGillivray s Farm House, Near Nanton, With Roaring Motor When Mrs. Hugh McGillivray was awakened in her farm home, eight miles north east of here, Monday night about 10:00 o'clock, by the roaring of the motor on a circling airplane, she thought the pilot was experiencing trouble, She looked otitside and found that the barn was in flames. The airman had been sotinding an alarm. Wakening her husband she rush- ed. out and although Mr. MpGil- livray received three broken ribs and she herself was slightly burn- ed in their efforts to free some of the stock, they were unable to The loss is estimated at 3,000 and included besides: the barn, 40 pigs, four sows and two cows. Mr. McGillivray had spent 1,500 in making improvements to the barn this year. No insurance was car- ried. It is thought a match had been dropped and that a cow stepp d on it; starting the blaze. A tag day was held last Saturday by the Association of Nanton Or- ganizations, funds collected to be used in defraying expenses of sup- plying Christmas boxes to service men and women from this district serving overseas. ca Anyone wishing to make dona- tions, to Woods Christian Homes, of vegetables of any kind, canned fruit, etc., is asked to leave the donations at Fred Garratt s sery- ice station, from where they will be shipped to the High River Mo- tor company, and from there to Calgary.
