Shortages of workers for building homes and for`producing the building materials are threatening Ito impede Canada's program for the construction of 50,000 homes as soon as possible. ' All men experienced in home 'building or in -producing building materials, who are not now (working in either of these industries, are urged to apply to .the nearest office of the National Employ- ment Service immediately. Men experienced at home building or producing supplies, if now in other essential work, will be given permits to work at jobs which will assist the house building program.

It was the summer season. Ian had not returned from the war zone, but was soon expected. The next night just before :family worship Dad Graham asked Jane, the eldest daughter to give her motto. "Well," said Jane, "I have chosen that old motto, "Do it now." I re- member when quite a young child, Mother on several occasions asked me to do some task and I had got into the way of -saying I will after while Mother. • Nothing was said to me although, time and again I did not do it at all. Then one day Mother talked to me about it, she pointed r out what a big mistake I was making in continually putting off doing things. I have never forgotten that talk.' I there and then learned the lesson that if a thing had to be done it was just as well to do it first as last, People so often say, "Oh, I have not time to do that now. I know it has to be done but .I will do it later on." There are times when of course we feel we cannot do things just at the time but it is seldom that if we keep that motto before us that we will nbt be able to get on much better. "I remember very- well," said Stewart, seeing: a motto, "Do nothing that you would not like to be doing when Jesus comes." That has been a great 'help to me since I accepted qbeSNAPSIItJT GUILD PICTURE YOUR PETS' 108 It may take a little time and patience to make appealing pictures of pets but the results are most gratifying. ALERT eyes and quick thinking account for much of the success of many of the ace professional pliotographers whose pictures ap- pear quite regularly in leading'pic- ture magazines. They have learned mot only to see picture possibilities but to anticipate them. if .the' amateur would apply this same practice to his enapshooting e would soon see an improvement n the appeal of his pictures and early get ranch more pleasure out his camera. Our men and women in -the ser- ces want pictures from home. Pic- ures that bring their homes and riends closer to them make for con- ersation and reminiscing—all of Lich brightens leisure hours. Of course picture's of friends slid embers of the family are always elcomed by your service man but m't forget that the family pet— whether a dog, cat, or bird --has played a part in his life. And with he proper amount of patience plus lertness you can get mippealing plc - Urals that tell a realstory of home.

They pursue the pet with the cam- era. This is all wrong, because the pet's natural reaction is to run away. The hotter the pursuit, the ewifter the flight. And a pet ten feet or so from the camera might juet as well not be In the scene. The remedies, if you'll think a moment, are obvious. You can gent- ly restrict the Tees freedom of movement, or pick your spot and tempt him there with a bait of some sort, or choose a moment when he is .quiet and avoid actions that will disturb or excite him. Restriction of movement doesn't mean holding the pet or tying him.. It's true that excellent pictures can. be taken if someone is holding the cat, orshaking hands with the dog providing, by such means, just enough restraint to make the sub- jest "stay put." But there are other methods. In making the picture of the lonesome setter, for example, the photographer probably had his camera properly focused and was ready to eriap the shutter when he called his canine .pal to the fence. Then, when hip Subject settled into a pleasing Tose he was able to make the picture without delay.

Often we do things and we would lie tiler. oughly' ashamed of ourselves if Jesus were to stand ht front of us. We haVe',read,'in God's Word ,of -the look of sadness :which Christ gave • Peter when he denied Hint three times. Peter felt terrible when he realized what he had done. A'look •of anger is sometimes harder to bear than 'a , searching look of sad re/smelt. There' are many things which we as Christ- ians do which are a disgrace to those who march under the Christian flag. We have no idea, when our war oa Earth will be over. Wewatched for many days and even weeks for the "Cease Fire” which was " given by General Crerar, ,but when our battle of life is over we will have no warn- ing as to the ',exact day, r when our final- call will •' come., 'Therefore let' us do our best to be doing only what we would like to be doing when He comet;. ,It may be we will be living 'when He comes a second time to call His- own or it may be we will hear a gentle knock and realize that the Angel of Death is giving as the summons from the High Court over' which Jeshs reigns, the summons which will call us to Him whether. we are prepared or unprepared. There will be no time then for us to get ready, all preparation must be com- pleted before that time. We have been warned time. and again. Have we heeded that warning? So often I say to the boys "We do not want to be almost persuaded, butwe must know absolutely that we are safe." Now Mary it is your turn. Not so much recently but in days gone by we used to see signs "This is bargain day." Then people tivouid rush and push and shove one another to get something'' a few cents cheaper than they would any other day: I was thinking of that oneday recently and it occurred to me that there are no bargains in the Christian religion. Christ does not charge anything at all for His free gift of Salvation. We do no have to rush off early in the morning to go down town to be there in order to get any bargain. Right where we are, in a meeting house, on the street, right in our own home, we can just put out our hand and take from His 'hand that gift which is free and on which Is His, imprint. That gift then belongs to us, but how often we disgrace it. No matter how low' we • have sunk that gift is just as free us it is to those who have been on a higher level than we have been. On one occasion Queen Victoria paid a visit to a paper mill. Finally those with her entered the rag room where dirty rags were being sorted, The foreman was not acquainted with his Royal visitor and her attendant, The Queen said "What can you do with these dirty fragments." The foreman replied, "They make some of our finest white paper." Some- time after a package reached the Royal Palace. It contained some of the most beautiful sheets of ivory paper with the Queen's likeness in watermark on every delicate sheet. The foreman had learned the identity of his Royal visitor, and the paper was sent to show what a transformal. tion there could be from dirty rags to beauiful writing paper. I think we can learn front that how God can transform sinful men into His divine likeness. If Christ were not patient with us this transformation could never be made possible. Bob continued, "My motto is, do the hard things first. Like Jane I am going back to lessons learned right in our own home. About two years ago Dad said to me one day, "Well son, what are you going to do to- day?" I went on and told hint the things I had planned. "Well," said Dad, "I have noticed for some time that you seem to be leaving the hardest things, those tasks which you dread doing to the last, Why do yon do that? Tliere are some things I do not like to do and there are some things I enjoy working at so I do those first. "If I were you," said Dad, "I would • do the hardest things first and you would, get them off your mind and would enjoy doing' the other things much more than you do the way you are planning your work now. It took tae quite a while to get into the way of doing that but now I find it is much 'the better way." Ted spoke up."I learned recently till the motto of the .Salvation Army is "Others" and I thought it was -a beautiful idea." Perhaps I should not just say that is their motto but it was a Christian message sent throughout the world by General Booth at one time. Everyone of us knows how much happiness we get out of thinking of and helping others and there are so many to -day who need the help, of even little children. I am so glad that some time ago Mother and Dad gave us a talk on helping others without expecting to be paid for it. When I was younger I was always looking forward to be- ing paid something. When I did any- thing, .sometimes it was for people who Were hot able to afford it. One day I came home with five cents which • old Mrs. ---- had given me for shovelling the snow I told Mother and Dad what 1 had been ,doing and Mother ,said, "Ted, you Bid not take anything from the ole lady for doing it, did you,?" Shatnefaeedly I told her I had. Neither of them were cross with me and did not tell me to take it back; but you may rest assured I• went ?lack with•it; I struck out and got it job which -with my al- lowance keens me going nicely. Be_ fore andafter school I try , to help those who, have,not anyone to'bring N ■ It There She Goes!" YES, there goes the whistle that means jobs! But remember! Factory whistles will keep blowing . smoke will keep pouring from factory chimneys, only if you and all of us do our part to keep Canada's dollar sound. And unless we keep the Canadian dollar worth a dollar, we're headed for inflation, and its inevitable result—depression! •Canada's active fight against in- flation is a vital part of all our post- war planning. We Canadians must now—more than ever now—fight to keep Canada's dollar worth a full dollar! Why now especially? Because now civilian goods are scarce, and yet money is plentiful. This is a danger- ous condition. It means we must maintain controls and price ceilings; support rationing and urge the support of rationing. We must buy wisely and with the greatest care: be on guard at all times, checking, working, fighting to keep Canada's dollar sound. If we do this, we can keep prices from rising. If we don't, some day we'll be paying a dollar for 30c worth of goods, which means our dollar is only worth 30c. We know what happened after the last war! We must fight against it happening again. For our own sakes --for the sake of the men who fought overseas and to whom we owe a future with a job, we must keep Canada's dollar worth a full dollar. We must keep up an active fight against inflation! PnblGbed by THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) to reveal the dangers of inflation.

I am se thankful to Mother and Dad for checking are up on that, for it was a mean thing to do. Now Frank, what have you got to say? This is a queer story but the other day I was in the antique shop and I saw an affair there. It was made of sticks about a foot and a half long. The whole thing was three feet wide. The greater part of it was in natural wood pieces, but on it were painted flowers and across it was the motto "Waste not—want not." li*•asked the dealer what it was and he said, "Years ,ago in some places where they had not water piped into the house they used wash stands and these things were quite commonly tacked over the wall paper at the back of the wash stand. I have thought of that motto .many times since "Waste not—want not." How true that is? It is nearly time for me to go out to pay ball, so how would it be if we take that up an- other night, say, when Ian comes home and each one .of us tell just what we waste and how it may bring us to want. There is just one thing, if we waste the time which we should be giving to reading God's word wit will want for a great deal of comfort by not knowing what comfort we can receive front the lack of remembering His promises. David Livingstone, in bis long missionary career had as his motto, "Fear God and 'work hard." That is a message which we would do well to make a part of `our lives. Now D.ad you and Mother please give us your motto. Mother and I as, usual have duos en the same one. The motto which hangs in our bedroom. It is also in the living room, where all our v'sit- ors may see it. "Christ is the Bead; of,this House" sat We are tliauhkful to -day and every- day that years ago we invited our Saviour to abide with us. We thank Him that all our children are His followers and we have the assurance that when we have said farewell here we will one by one join Him in the Great Beyond, How•grateful we are to Him that He has so far brought Ian through 'this awful struggle of war. We never had any' fear that no matter what happened to Ian, he was safe its God's keeping, A Motto That Counts You May bring; to your office .and put in k frame,, A. motto ,as fine as its paint; But if you're . a, crook when you're • riay3ng site, That motto -won't make you m saint. You can stick up the placards all over the wall, And here is the word I announce; It is not the motto that hangs on the wall, But the motto you live that counts. If the motto says `smile' and you carry a frown, "Do it no*" and you linger and wait, • If the motto says • 'help' and you trample men down, If the motto says 'love' and you hate. You won't get away with the motto you .spell For truth' will come forth with a bounce, It is not the motto that hangs on the wail Bu•the motto you live that counts."
