Please give me a corner, I've no where to^ go." "Confound you," yelled Satan, "A thousand times No!" Then Old Nick kicked him out and vanished in smoke. And, just at that moment, Herr Hitler awoke.

It was just one of those things.'whieh children so often do out of the goodness of their little hearts as he expected no reward for it. However a coin of -small din -tension was given tos him and he immediately said "Can 1 share it with the others" .and nodded down the street. The others were appar- ently his playmatesbut were not there and did not know there was any candy or anything else in the of- fing. Evidently the child had been trained to share what he had with others. We all have a great deal which we could share with our fellow beings is we only would. The difficulty is that we 'want to keep everything for ourselves and also. accept what others care to share with us. The adults of today who are sharing the good things of life with those about theist are those who were taught to do so when they were of tender years. Is there anything' more miserable than a selfish person. Many years ago there was a little book published "Hubert Lee or how a child may do good." One could wish that every child could have an opportunity of reading that book. There were lessons taught in it which will never be forgotten by the child- ren who read it. It told of how a child shared his time helping elderly people; shared his goodness of heart trying to be good to those who were not able to care for themselves; shar- ed his protective powers where even dumb animals were concerned; shar- ed his opportunity of doing good by striving to help those who were shut in; shared his talent of reading with. those for whom the light of this world bas been forever shut out. From beginning to end it was a story of sharing what he had with others even trthe point of self-sacrifice. God las given us the ability to help. There are very few in the world today who have not some tal- ent by means of which they can not only receive pleasure themselves but which they can share with others. It is really the little things in life which count. Because we cannot take a dozen. roses to some friend who is ill or shut in that does not prevent us from - gathering a few flowers from oar garden, fixing them up daintily and taking thein. Some of the most treasared bouquets have been just such little gifts of love. In our own hones or wherever we go we can share the spirit of cheer- fulness. We all have things, which hang heavily on bur hearts, but why carry the bundle around with us con- tinually requesting others to help us hold it. Do not bother sharing it with casual acquaintances, Our friend will be glad to help us carry it. What are friends for if not for just that sort of thing! Some people can never sae any joy in their surroundings. It may be there is a physical cause for it, but in the majority of cases it is just a habit which has develop- ed and which he have harbored from day to day until it has become a per- fect nuisance to ourselves and every one else. - There is another thing we often. try to share, and that is the noise we. snake. We toot our car horns because we are too lazy, yes, that's• the word and also too impolite to get out of the car and walk up to the door to call for our passenger; we bang doors although there is a way of closing them quietly; we talk loudly on the, streets and in hawses after others have retired; we turn on our radios frill blast regard- less of the fact that there are others in the house or apartment who wish to rest; often our radios are on and we are paying no -attention to them. In inasny ,instanees it ie just force of habit but how annoying it can be to others! When we realize that we have left an.inflaence for good or' for evil me each one with whom we have egine in contact, how careful ave should be that we. are .sharing only our good qualities. Each one of us is a Dr. Jeckyl orc Mr. Hyde. We have two distinct natures. Very often it is to those who we love the most that we show the nasty- side of our. lives. They get the cross words, the scowls, and the outbursts of -temper, where- as we have smiles for the outside world. Many times we have regret- ted this when it is too. late. That is one reason why so' many marriages today are a failure. The young couple do not See one another is they are in their own homes and it is only after"the marriage vows have been: taken that they realize the. character of their 'partner 'in' life. Another thing which we do' not need to be sharing withpeople is. that idea of thinking we have to be continually advising people what they should de,• They know their- ciecuan- stances. If they ask our advice well and good, but until they do, do not be "always and everlastingly forc- ing our ideas 'on them. At times it puts them in a very Y embarrassing position. Until we are asked for our opinion in regard to individual Prob- lems to ourselves. Then last of all there is something which we should get for ourselves, and them share with everyone eve sneet. That is the love of Jesus Christ. If we have not got it then we should Lose no time in "getting, right with God." Just as soon as we have secured that •salvation we will want to share it with others. If we have• become true followers of Cluist we will not be able to keep it to oursevles. We will just have to share it. What a joy it will bring to us as we share it! The love- of God is something which we can give and give, and as we give our own lot increases. "Have you had a kindness shown. Pass it on. 'Twas not meant for you alone, Pass it en. Let it travel down the years, Let it wipe another's tears Till in Heaven the deed appears, Pass it on. If we would only learn to pass things along. The trouble with many of us is that we 50- so afraid we will not have enough for ourselves. Someone wrote an article on "The Curse of the Attic", pointing out how people stored things by when they should have been giving them away for the use of others. Finally they were so far out of date that they were useless. So it is in our lives. We refuse to tell others of Christ's love until the opportunity is past and gone. It is hard at first to speak to Him, but He will help us as we strive to share the many blessings which we receive from Him.

"Personally, I'd rather work ten hours for the Nazis than five hours for the English," said a voice from the end of the counter. A neighbor swung around.

All applications for permission to export cheese should be made on For- eign Exchange Control Board Form B, which can be obtained from any bank or Customs Collectors and must contain, in addition to the informa- tion requiued on Form B, infoentation as to the kind, - style and grade of cheese. All applications, in quintup- licate, must be forwarded direct to the Dairy Products Board, .Ottawa, Cheese shipped to the United King-, dom bylicensed exporters under in strut:tion by the Dairy Products Board are not included ill this order, X++eee- 'vee t'e !:'dam :' se $"eee'te! 4 Yteee fs to Tested a;, Recites t. 1 JELLY TIME Now is the time when preserving gets away to a good start. Jars' of jam and jelly made from Canadian - grown fruits are seen cooling on kitchen tables to be stored away for winter. Once in a white a batch of jelly just refuses to set ter is thick, unwn and tough, or havingset to g Y a g, a perfeet consistency, is cloudy or too dark. Jelly failures are not necessary. The Consumer Section, Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, offers advice to prevent such trouble. 'Care in selecting fruit is import- ant --a mixture of slightly under -ripe and dully ripe fruit gives best flavour and consistency. A little added acid sometimes is necessary. Lemon juice is commonly used, allowing 1 table- spoon to 1 cup of non-acid fruit, but 1 cup of rhubarb cooked with 10 cups non-acid fruit gives excellent results. When fruit contains too little pee - tin the commercially prepared pectin, may be added, in which case the dir- ections given by the manufacturer should be followed exactly. Too much water added in cooking fruit makes unsatisfactory jelly, as juice must be cooked a long time to evaporate excess water, and this ex- tra boiling destroys some pectin, darkens colour and spoils flavour. Jelly should be cooked to exactly the consisteney when two separate drops fount on the edge of the spoon and run together a "sheet" off the spoon. 'Sugar crystals usually are the re- sult of two much added sugar, over- ripe fruit, or over cooking of syrup, thereby reducing the proportion of juice to sugar. Occasionally crystals form, as in grape jelly, from the tartaric acid contained in. the grapes. To overcome this the strained juice should be allowed to stand over night and carefully poured off, leaving any precipitate before measuring and add- ing sugar. Cloudy jelly, is not well strained. Heavy Canton flannel, or flannel, or four thicknesses of cheesecloth .make good jelly bags. Mould or ferment may appear in spite of large sugar content of jelly if jars are not thoroughly sterilized. They should be boiled for 20 minutes and removed from the water with tongs just as needed for filling. A thin coating of paraffin may be poured on while jelly is hot, but this will break away from the edges as the jelly cools, and another lay,er must be added to seal perfectly. A piece of string laid across the lar between these two Iayers makes it easier to remove the wax when open- ing for use. A paper cover over all keeps the surface clean and aids in preventing spoilage. "Weeping" jelly is sometimes seen. This means that syrup appears around or oozes through the wax. Isu a storage place too warm or too damp. moisture may collect and cause "weeping." If this condition is dis- covered before any actual spoilage, begins, another layer of wax may be poured over, taking care to rotate the glass slightly so that wax may be well up around the inside of the jar. With care in following these points perfect jelly should result. Further information is contained in Publica- tion 636, "Jams, Jellies and Pickles," which may be obtained from the Pub- licity and Extension Division, Domin- ion Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. LISTOWEL CONSTABLE GOES TO GODERICH Provincial. Constable Thomas Old- field of Listowel is appointed tempor- arily to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Provincial Constable P. E. McCoy. - A BAD BARGAIN The tightening tension of the war and the knowledge of how weak a case they hold is filling the liquor interests of Canada with apprehen- sion. Consequently, friendly column- ists olumnists and other spokesmen are becom- ing vocal. Pleas featuring the great value of the liquor trade to labour, to the fanner, to allied trades and to the government tax collector are urged with almost tearful unction. Scorn is -being emptied on the head of the prohibition scarecrow and the dry are even blamed for depriving the ladies of their seats in the street- cars. The crisis to which we are come, surely makes the nation's need para- mount. -- The question of the national value of the liquor trade to the nation was discussed in cold blood. and in the "THERE'LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND" That grand patriotic song, "There'll Always Bo An England," has become the theme 'song of the British, War effort; and no matter. where one goes, the strains of the song are to be heard, The Hanover Musical Society Band has been prac- ticing it forseveral weeks, and those who attended' the band concert in the park Friday evening were- greatly pleased with their rendition of this number. The song is also said to be growing in popularity in the Unit- ed States, and one large .industrial firm in Chicago goes so far as to end all its letters' to Canada with a red ink postscript, "There'll Always Be An England!" Of the entire British Empire, only the sons of Scotland have raised a dissenting voice. Feel- ing the song would be better with a clash of Scotch flavor, they have ad- ded the following verses, "just for the Scots": There will always be an England As long as Scotland stands, For it's due to dear old Scotland That England's wealth expands. Our friendly neighbor England We always will defend, We'll help her fight her battles, Her broken ships we'll mend. And when the war is over, And victory has been won, We'll sing of England's glory And the wonders she has done. —Hanover Post. tolerance of peace -tune before the Royal Commission of Licensing in. England in 1930. Josiah Stamp, prob- ably the greatest statistician and fin- ancial adviser in the Anglo-Saxon world, was giving testimony. He had discussed with the Commission ra- tional efficiency, effects on employ- ment, and caste to the question of the contributions of liquor to the national revenue. Touching this aspect, Rev. Henry Carter, a member of the Commission, put the following carefully worded enquiry to Sir Josiah: "Taking the liquor trade as it ex- ists to -day, having regisrd to the fact that its operations bring a large rev- enue to the National Exchange and also that a very large consumption of alcoholic beverages is the neces- sary basis of this tax yield, what would be your judgment on balance, as to the national value of things as they are? Do they represent a good bargain for the nation?" Sir Josialt's answer was definite and emphatic, and since he later die - cussed the moral aspects of the prob- lem, it is clear that he was answering the question on its dollar -and -cents basis. His reply was: "No, a very batt bargain—the great expenditure on alcohol ie. a very bad investment." War does not alter the facts. It can only magnify the importance of evonomic waste and impairment, —From the office of The Ontario Temperance Federation, 30 Bloor St. West, Toronto, A. J. IRWIN, General Secretary. Cilie NAJ1QT G JkD N0RE THAN ONE PICTURE . An excellent action shot, and so is the one seen bele,.. Gu 2. Sloth pictures aro needed to tell the 'follow•the-leader" story. "®N19 subject, one picture," is the formula that many amateur Photographers use; but it often happens that snore than one shot is needed to tell the story, or make the subject as interesting as possi- ble. The troth is, very fete snapshots are complete in themselves. One shot presents just one phase—it serves as an introduction, but a sec- ond or third shot is often required to clear up all the details and round out the picture idea. Sometimes a second shot helps to explain the first and make it more pointed. Consider the pictures above, as a good example. The low- er one is an excellent action snep— I'd be glad to have it in my album. But the upper one really nialces the story complete—it points up , the "follow -the -loader" idea, and ex - ,plains why the dog is diving, Each. picture helps reinforce the effect of the other, and together 'they supply the kernel of an amusing picture sequence, In a sequence of this sort, It sel- dom matters which picture you take erst. Often you can take one shot, and that will give you the idea for a series of pictures—pos- sibly all preceding the original pic- ture. The final order of such a pic- ture -sequence is worked out when you paste the various shots in your album, Nearly every good subject de- serves more than one picture, and it's unwise to - assume that your first picture is the best that can be obtained. Frequently a different angle, or a different camera posi- tion, will yield a second shot that is better. In movle-making, it's a regular practice to take a general view—then move up for a series of close-ups, showing details of the subject or action. Be "sequence- minded" in your picture-talting. The p.10taire se- quence is the modern way of tell- ing a story in pictures -and good picture sequences will lend distinc- tion to your album, - 292. John van Guilder
