HRONICLES 1NGER1ARM 'y envervrinitrso D CIA eke Cold weather is with us again - and yet it doesn't feel as if winter has returned -although it is colder than many days we had during the middle of winter. The country has a different appearance now the brown fields and bare trees have a "waiting". look. Per- haps the longer hours of daylight make a difference. Whatever the reason, in spite of the cold, it doesn't feel like winter but rather a dreary day in early spring -with bitter cold winds. A few days ago I was in Toronto. The ialce was More beautiful than 1 had ever seen it. A wild sort of beauty as the wind whipped the greenish waters into rough, tum- bling waves, breaking as they bit the seawall, sending white foaming spray five or six feet into the air. The lake was not rough to the sante extent as I remember rough seas on the east coast of England but it was rough enough to recall pleasant memories of those .q' -gone days when 1 would stand watching the breakers with a fascination that is hard to explain. An angry sea is always a challenge. Once I at- tempted swimming -- alone -in a i-tuu li sea. Swint? I couldn't even stand. The ant;ry waves tricked me up and threw me against the jag- ged rocks. By some miracle I scrambled ashore, breathless, breis - ed and bcateu. It was the one and only time i challenged a stormy sea. As e pa -seri ;dung the lake front the atbtr day a little old lady s;tting nest to me in the bus, was recalling Toronto as she first remembei,cd it.

This has given us an opportunity to ob- serve many things ,particularly how farms can: be completely changed under new ownership sometimes for the good, and some- times very much the opposite, de- pending on the experience and fi- nancial status of the owners. Actually, it is very interesting to stay put and Hatch "the passing show" as it applies to the country. Interesting, yes, but alas, too often it is also heartbreaking. Maly folk start out with high hopes, ,great ambition, but so often with little actual knowledge of practicalfarm- ing. The result is a foregone con- clusion - as the over -confident seem only to learn by experience. Yet the old adage is as true now as it ever was -"a wise ratan learns from the experience of others; a fool from Ids own." And yet, how many of us prefer the ]Lard way every time. With those just start- ing out in life it seems almost in- evitable. But with older folk .. web, you can draw your own con- clusions . .. which will probably heverymach the same.as our own. Baboons' Tails - Two Shillings Each Two shillings a tail is being of- fered by Divisional Commissioners in Gambia in an attempt to wipe out hordes of baboons that are infesting African farms and doing great damage. The baboon popula- tion of Gambia has risen to the record figure of 50,000, and it is estimated that each baboon fs likely to do about five shillings' worth of damage a month throughout 1952 if his depredations go uncheck- ed. Many hundreds of baboon tails have already been received, and natives are organizing drives against the beasts, Baboon hunters have abandoned firearms when surround- ing a troop of baboons and have" attacked them effectively with hat- chets, axes and clubs. Sometimes dogs are used, but "they arc no match for baboons that can fight with hands and feet and have fangs two inches long. Baboons are almost hu man. During the war in what was Ger- man East Africa airmen attached to a naval air squadron had a tante baboon as a ":ascot. It was par- tksolarly fond of one pilot and used to sit on the bonnet of a car wait- ing for him while he was away bombing the Germans. One morning she was waiting as usual; and suddenly gave signs of alarm, harking strangely. 'Che other airmen knew something was amiss. It was found that the mi'ss- ing pilot had had to make a forced landing on German tcrrritory. Pat- rols went out and brought the in- jured mean back to the camp, where the baboon greeted ]tint by licking his face and lumping round with excitement. It could be said that she had saved the airman's life. Baboons have been known to shat" dead when cornered. One who thdl so in the Graaf Rciuet district of Cape Colony-, after be- ing struck on the head with a club, rose suddenly and wrestled with a farmer and forted him to the. ground on his hack. The man ":anagen to grasp a large stone, with which he killed the baboon. But to this day lee bears the marks of its fangs n-. n Whis neck, UNDAYSCHOOL LESSON By Rev. R. B. Warren, B,A , B D. A Fellowship of Many Believers John 1S:5.9; Phil, 2:14-16; Rom, 10:1-7, Memory Selection; Herein is my Father Glorified, that Ye bear . much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples, John 15:8. The fellowship of Christians is the largest and yet the most in- timate and blessed fellowship in all the world, Two Christians of different language and skin -colour meet Their common sharing of Christ "take them one, They are simply two branches from the same vine Jesus Christ, His life has come to them, In whatever points they differ, they are alike in life's essential. They have Christ. Abid- ing in Hinl and He in there, they can ask what they will and it shall be done. This is a stupendous pro- mise, but since their will is subject- ed to God's will, they will only ask the best. Christians are lights in the world, disseminating peace and harmony. When .they disagree, they do so without resentment or malice. Christians are not war- mongers. They are peacemakers. Paul bad many Christian friends throughout the world, nen and - women. Many had aided him in ids suffering. He loved them. Frank C. Laubach in his recent book, "Wake up or blow up"5challenges America to give her "know how" to the trampled millions of the earth. This man whose teaching methods have enabled sixty million people to learn to read and who has travelled in 76 countries says these people are coming up, despite all obstacles. They will love the people who help them. Communism is promising much. Christianity must give her technicians and agri- culturalists to help these people. Here is the challenge. "Wake up or blow up."
