There is all the difference between a `life of :happiness and days and hours of misery. We some times think it is a great pity that we do not realize what we are doing in the early formative years of` our lives. If when we were Iittle tots' we could see what our selfish itabits'would lead to, it is quite pos- sible that we would even in those ten- der days' change our ways. So often people would say, "that ohild is grow- ing up just like his father or mother, with no thought of any one but him- self"— the selfishness which has been a part of their lives is being taught to that little one. 'D'o we so live that any one can truthfully say- that of us? How much more joyful the world would be •to -day if we could take our very own motto the aim of that great' band of Christian -workers— the orkersthe -Salvation Army! when that vast organizatidn was started sixty years ago general William Booth gave as its motto, the one word "others". We can each of: us make that our life '.guide too, It is all very well for us to stand to one side and say :someone else is selfish but let us .just look into our lives and we will see that our make- up is largely self, "I want to be the head of the world, r want no Christianity and we are going to fight on until we accomplish that" Such was the thought back of the •chaotic condition of our world to- day What a difference between that thought and that contained in the beautiful story told of a soldier in the First Great war when a German attack was over a young soldier dis- covered that his pal was missing. He immediately asked to be allowed to go back over the field and find him. His officer advised him not to go, Saying "If you do it will not be worth while, go at your risk but it will cost you your life." The boy went and after searching found his chum, badly hurt. He dragged him near to his own line, but there his pal died and he himself was fatally injured. He crawled back within the line and his officer bending over him said, "I told you, you would lose your life was it worth while?" "Yes, sir" the dying- soldier replied, "He said he knew I would come." Jesus Christ told his disciples He would rise again and be did. He also said He would come again and He will. If we live a self centred' life can we expect to go with Him when He comes. When He will come again we know not, but the can begin right this minute to prepare for that corning. There are many ways in which one can get over the habit of selfishness. One is to learn to share what we have with others. Have you ever seen 'a child, a youth out with others would be quite will- ing to take anything which was of- fered to him and not want to share what he had. Ab times a child will be given a quarter when about to go on a picnic and he will ,come back with the same quarter plus' perhaps a a smaller coin, which' some one has given him. Then he will tell you that he had an ice cream cone or choco- late bar, You ask him where he got it when he did not spend any money, Some other child had treated him. Did he give the other child anything? Dh no, he got some thing for nothing and was going to save his money, Just how have you dealt with the situation? Have you explained to him the selfishness of his act or have you praised him for saving his money. It is wise to teach children to be economi- cal from their childhood days but not to save in such a way that he will be mean and selfish. Our beloved Queen Elizabeth spoke to 2,000boys and girls at Buciting- ham Palace recently. They were hi the Youth E¢npire parade. She told them that the future would be in their hands and gave them the good advice "Serve one another selflessly and put all your trust in Almighty God". What a wonderful example of put- ting self to one side our King and Queen have shown during this war! They have stayed- at their post and kept Princess Elizabeth and' Princess Margaret - Rose there during times, the seriousness of which we did not realize, until just recently, They have allowed selfishness to play no part in their lives. That same spirit has been revealed in the lives of very many during the past tragic months' and years. How often such little things come between ° people who have been friends for years! What has been the cause of it—that mean little thing called self. There is that quality, the most beautiful thing in the world, the love of Ohrist whieh we should be more than willing to share with. everyone. Christ showed us ,that love by his Sacrificial death on the cross and how` anxious we should be to accept it from Him! If we do that we will have no time to go about showing to others that we have no love for them. (One time a minister was telling his. four year old son the story of the crucifixion. When he came to the end: of the resurrection the little la_l _looked tip into his fathers face and said ',Did Jesus die then Dad?" "Yes" said the father"He died on the Cross" "Oh" the boy' replied "He can- nol love the then" How glad the fath- er was that he Could say "He can love one now because He Tose . again from the dead on the third day. IIe lives, loves, now and forever, Jesus Christ has given us that love. Do we • :TNF. MiXING BOWL 8y ANNE ALLAN Hydro Homo Economist THE DAIRY FARMER RANKS HIGH IN' MILITARY PLANS! Hello Homemakers! As the grass, blankets the bare fiei'ds, the cattle go forth to graze, Mother Nature provides the nutrients and the herdas of cows silently and steadily crop' the tender shoots of grass to giveus thatmost important food, milk. Each evening the veteran dairy farmer opens the gate and his' army returns to barracks without bands or bunting. Although his field uniform is faded from work and weather, in Canada's military strategy the far- mer ranks high. Fox men must eat before they can fight. Nations must have food with their freedom— and nature's best -balanced food is milk. In spite of labour and machinery shortages, last year Ontario made 200 million pounds of cheese, export- ing• 125 millions; made 281 million pounds of butter and used four and a half trillion pounds of milk in oth- er ways. The average consmnption of butter in Canada is 7.2 oz. per person per week. In 1942 butter production was lower than the previous year while cheese production was up 34% Estimated needs require an increase of 6% in milk production in Ontario. This province can be proud of its farmers for pitching in and produc- ing bumper crops of carr, wheat, meat and other foods, as well as milk —for .working , longer and harder. Far- mer's -wives, too, have been doing their share. RECIPES Corn and Cheese Casserole 1 cup. canned corn, 1 cup bread or want to take it? One may grow into the' way of .be- ing selfish and not realize it. At night e'er sleep o'er takes us do we ever look over our day and think of the things which we habitually do. Those things may effect some one else seriously although we oftimes do them thoughtlessly, To enumerate all these would take too long, but we doubtless know what they are as we, in all probability have been told about them. Let us prayer- fully consider our day and we will find that the majority of us have put self first no matter who else has had to suffer, Will we not take God into our plans and we will get on so much better? Lord, in the strength of grace, With a glad heart and free, Myself, my residue of days, I consecrate to Thee. Thy ransomed servant, I Restore to Thee Thy own; And, from' this moment, live or die To serve my God, alone. PEG WHERE DOES YOUR • FAMILY FiT IN? 4 el • , OF CANADPSS ARE PROPERLY 0 r?

May I:do this? - • A. No. This is not permissable. .Q. Some time- ago I ordered and made out an essentiality form for a piece of farm equipment. To date I have not heard anything further about it. I want to know whether_I am going to get it or not. What shall I do? A. Take it up with your dealer. I£ he does not give you any satisfaction, write the manufacturer.. Q. I have - a two -section spring tooth harrow. I want to speed up my work by adding a centre section mak- ing it three sections wide. Do I need to make application and does the company need to have a permit to sell this additional section to me? A. Yes, for rationing - purposes, an additional section for a spring tooth or drag harrow are considered as un- its for which application to buy must be made. A permit to sell must also be issued. Q. On checking over my hay mower I find the knife and ledger plates are badly worn and should be replaced. May •I- buy these without 'making • ap»-- plieation to the WPTB? Is it all right for the company or dealer -to sell then: to me without a permit? A. Yes, this is quite all right, For rationing ptuposes these items are considered as repair parts and no application or permit are required, However, I would suggest that you look over your haying and harvest- ing equipment at an early date and, get the list of parts you need in the hands of your dealer. This will give you a chance to get the parts replac- bones. Adjust rubbers and cover. ed on your machine ready for the time Partially seal.

My washerwoman, too, had lost her little mite with mine, And she was singing as she hung the the clothes upon the line; - "How can you be so gay," I asked; "Your loss, don't you regret?" "Yes ma'am, but what's the use to fret? God's bank ain't busted yet" I felt my burden lighter grow, .her faith I seemed to share; In prayer I went to God's great throne and laid my troubles there, The sun burst from behind the clouds, in golden splendor set; I thanked God for, the simple woads: God's bank ain't busted yet" sent thein into a huddle with their ! road maps, their :travel folders and.

SALES OF POULTRY AFFECTED With poultry unrationed, the Food Administration of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has found it neces- sary to put live poultry under pried ceilings. The ceiling affected both wholesale and retail sales. Meat rationing nifty bring an in- creased demand' for poultry ,and, to keep prices under control the order is•in effect. Covered by the 'order are live chickens, broilers, fryers or roast ers, capon or foulards and fowl (hens and old roosters) in the customary weight ranges. The maximum' wholesale price dur- ing June of live hens of more than five pounds, officials cited as- an ex- ample, will be 23centsa ;pound in Ontario, Quebec- and British Colum bia; 21 cents in Manitoba. and Alberta 20% cents in Saskatchewan and 23% eents in the Maritimes, v Ration Cards Available lfor, U.S.A.

Canadians who are expecting guests from the USA need only to tell them to apply at their nearest Local Ration Board when they arrive in the country, says Mr. Farley. Here tem- porary ration cards will be issued if they plan to remain in the Dominion for five days. or more. The card is effective when it is issued • and will give the holders authority to buy rationed -supplies for their length of stay in Canada. If the visitors remain longer than three months, another card will be issued at the end of that time, v Contents of Lockers Must be Reported Consumers, including farmers who havemeat stored in lockers are re- quired to report their holdings before June 30, it is announced -by the War- time Prices and Trade Board. - The holdings should be reported td the nearest branch of the Board's ration ,administration and the report should be accompanied by meat cou- pons from the ration books of mem- bers of the household to cover the meat at the rate of -one coupon for each two pounds, gross weight, stored.

NATURALLY, every experienced photographer has hia ideas upon the subject, but I think everyone will agree that there are four basic. photographic ascessories which should be owned and used by every advanced amateur photographer. These are: an exposure guide, a filter, a lens hood, and a tripod. 'Why so many? Well each has its use, and whether you own a fairly moderate outfit, or one of the latest and finest' cameras, you'll find that each can help you to better picture making. Take an exposure guide, for in- stance. It doesn't maks any differ- ence whether it is a photoelectric exposure meter, or a ten -cent pocket exposure' calculator, it will take the guess ort of exposure and prevent poorly exposed—and thus wasted— film. A filter recommends itself because it has a pronounced effect on the quality of your pictures. Soine peo- ple think a medium yellow filter definiteiy steps up the quality of. outdoor snapshots because it makes clouds stand out, attractively and darkens the general sky tone. And I agree with them: A filter is a worthwhile, inexpensive investment. A lens hood, - of course, never seems especially vital, but It should be included in your kit because it performs a two -fold service. 'First, it prevents extraneous -light from striking and entering the lens. And secondly,_ It thus gives brighter, cleaner pictures .without . any trace of the fog or lens flare which occa- sionally is apparent in snapshfgts. Finally, there's the matter of tri- pods. Their outstanding quality is that they give you Steady exposures without the slightest trace of fuzzi- ness due to camera movement. And that's really important. Get one, put . itto work, and you'll find that, like. the other photographic accessories mentioned, it will help yoit produoe better pictures more consistently. . 404 John van Guilder
