_It gets under way wit-h Joe con- vincea that he's a. failure because he loses his voice every time he tries to act in front of an audience of more than ten people. Joe, seeking a cure. meets Martha. another failure, whose only asset is a broken down college.

Joe takes over the job of coach. He can't coach the entire team be- cause there are eleven men on a football team. But, somehow he does turn out o. team, onl_ to find that other schools won't p ay them because of the ivav tho players were obtained.

Martha solves the problem by ar- TBHBIng an exhibition with it pro team. and the Dlcture comes to a thrilling and hilarious climax in the funniest football game ever filmed.

"Canada's position, even at war, is unique in the hope it holds for future increased stability and wealth," A N. Mltchcll, president of the Canada Lite Assurance Cf». told policyholders and shareholders at the oompiinyu annual meeting this morning. "We firmly bclcve there is every cause to be opilm s- tic ubout Canada in the post-war

riod. Its development is still in he infancy stages and many of the things happening at the PFC-Wm time ‘Will merely crentc a IHSIPT growth and development.

"Prior to the war," Mr. Mitchell ‘pointed out. "Canada. was already beginning to show considerable in- crease in industrial activity. New industries were also being trait»- ierred here from oppressed areas in Europe. A continuance of this movement is to be anticipated, as well ns a. steady development and enlargement of the industries al- ready opereting here. such expans- ion must of necessity cause in- creased population. This ‘popula- tion lncrease, coming as it will Mter judicious selection and balanced as ‘ll, will be by new developments in mdusitry, mining, forestry and nurt- culture will have ample opportunity f" gglnflll rin-nplovment. Such pt-p- ulation growth will not only be self-stipportlng but income-produc- ing for the country."

Mr. Mitchell thcn reviewed tlic OCOHOIIIIC development of Canada over the past twenty-five years. He pointed out that there had been enomious economic improvement since the last war and that. agri- culture is no longer the only im- portant base of Cnnadlnn produc- tion efforts. Industrial expansion, electrical development and mlnlnB growth have given Canada n Brent- iy increased base for financing her war efforti.

To help their education for civil life, all the Un- iversities of Canada, all the De- partments of Education, and forty- seven affiliated institutions have en- rolled under the Canadian Legion ‘War Services to create a vast Army University. Such a course is surely building for the future.

A Dominion wide appeal will be made for half a million dollars to cary out this great endeavour. It is felt that the people of this Province will respond to such an appeal, which will be made on the 12th of Feb

In short this appeal is being made to render assistance of a per- sonal nature to our sons while serving, and to help them prepare themselves for civil rcestablisnment alter the war.

In Memoriam

GEORGE CROMWELL WARD

On Jan. I, 1940, The Angel of Death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Ward. and claimed for its victim their only son George Cromwell at the tender age of 3 years. George was in his usual good health until 2 days before his death. He entered the Hospital on Sunday IOI‘ an operation but despite the ef- forts of medical skill and tender nursing his gentle spirit returned to God who gave it, George was of a sweet and loving disposition and a general iavcrltc with young and old. It is hard to understand wh so young a life should be cut oi , out we know that God in his su- preme wisdom had a higher pur- pose in view for him.

Thcrc are left to mourn his loss his heartbroken mother and lather and little sister Shirley.

The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon and was conducted by the Rev. Mr_ Denton. p

The little white casket covered with flowers was borne by six little boys. Spurgeon Diamond, Philip Diamond, Lloyd Cudmore, Dewar gudmoreileil McInnis, Johnny Mc-
