16 TÁROGATÓ formed to assist in arrangements and to enlist the support of every section of civic life. Service clubs and other organizations are also being asked to make the theme of their activities during the week — “the meaning of Canadian citizenship.” The national ceremony will be broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and filmed by the National film Board. Radio and Screen coverage is also planned for the other ceremonies during Citizenship Week. THE SCHOOL ON WHEELS EXPANDS ITS SERVICES For more than 20 years Schools on Wheels have brought education within the reach of children living in remote settlements in Northern Ontario, and in spite of the difficulties and limitations of this service, many hundred Canadian children have received an education in this way, and, in many cases, done better than the children who chould go to school under much easier and more comfortable circumstances. This year the Canadian Pacific Railway, one of the originators of this service, has expanded its educational work by introducing another car, a “safety theatre on rails”. It has been designed primarily to give some 20,000 employees in Eastern Canada a visual education in train and signal rules, but school children too will benefit from it. At divisional points from the head of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic seaboard they will have an opportunity to attend films and lectures on accident prevention, as well as to see pure entertainment films. The car was a hospital car during the war and has the latest in sound-movie equipment, a two-way public address system and seating accommodation for 60 people. Toronto: Provincial Attorneys-General were called upon to ban liquor advertising and so-called “public interest” ads and opposition to the increase of the alcoholic content in hard liquor registered today at the annual meeting of the Executive of the Board of Evangelism and Social Service of the United Church of Canada when it was considering the policy of the Board in the situation consequent upon transfer of Federal controls to Provincial authorities. Further protest was made against the use of foodstuffs in the manufacture of beverage alcohol after the consideration of the statement of need for food made recently by the Hon. Paul Martin at the United Nations Assembly. WOMAN’S DAY — THE CAVALCADE The Crusaders’ Cavalcade is now well on its way in Ontario. One of the big days at each city is the Woman’s Day. Under the leadership of the “Women of the Church,” there is a well planned programme. The morning is taken up with missionary speaker and discussion group. The afternoon gives the luncheon hour and time following to speaker on Woman’s Association Presbytery— showing the enlarged vision, information and strength coming from this organization. The speakers to date have been Mrs. D. R. Carson at Cornwall, Arnprior and Kingston; Mrs. W. F. Inglehart at Belleville; Mrs. N. R. Fallis, Peterborough; Mrs. W. Sturtridge and Mrs. G. Paul at Oshawa. The two Panels accompanying the Exhibit show most clearly the possible church and community work challenging our women. There are two new Presbyteries to be added to Panel No. 2: Salmon Arm, B.C., and Hamilton, Ont. The Panel Discussion, as prepared by a joint committee of church women, is most instructive and is being well done by local women in each place. Miss Wilna Thomas’ addresses show with many others the enthusiasm she has for young people’s work Such is Woman’s Day with Crusaders’ Cavalcade. Plan to be there all day. “Thinking together is unity, working together is success.” United Church Observer. A LITTLE PRAYER FOR NIGHTFALL Slowly the daylight fades, Dews of the evening fall; Lord, through the coming night In love enfold us all. Give to each aching heart Thy peace; To weary minds sleep’s sweet release; Grant that each nightfall we may be Nearer, O God, to Thee. Amen.
