Ont. the kitchen of the old, dear. place of our childhood, and there still echoes through our brain the tick -tock, tick tock, of the grandfathers clock which was such a wonder to us.. Time and Clocks play a large part in our lives' and yet how many of us could tell ;the source' from which • our time is :derived. The history of time is indeed very interesting but a few of -the high lights will .have . to suffice us just, now. There have been many ways Of telling time in the past. Chief among- them' were the sand glasses, much the same as our hour glass of today. There were also half hour glasses. Then there was the reek system, where two forked upright pieces were hammered into the ground and a rod placed across them. Stones were placed on'the ground at various dis- tances to record the 'shadow cast by the cross piece. • Sundials were another way of tell- ing thne. They also were run on the basis of the cast shadow. Many of these. more modernized are still us- ed. A noted inscription on one says "I record only the sunny hrs." There is a wonderful lesson to be learned from this type of clock. Try to for- get the trying things of life. There are enough pleasant things in the world to surmount any unhappiness. The water clock is supposed to, have been invented Archimedes, a noted Athenian. It has a dial and indicator operated by a current of water. Following ten .years work Felin Meyer of New York, in 1880 made a clock eighteen feet high which con- tained more than 2000 wheels: In ,comparison with this we have watch- es which are so small it is hard to find them in a bracelet. What a pleasure it is to us to hear Big Ben from London England and to realize that we are part of the Empire, whose centre is there! Then there were the wag -on -the - wall elects invented by Manning somewhere around 1770. There are many watch making. factories throughout the world. Pro- minent among these are the Swiss watches, This industry was started in Geneva in 1550 by refugees. from Flanders, Lorraine and Italy. fiantitepst• eat .t3elltitot• of the Supreme Coat" 11 Ontario.

This accuracy is maintained by the, combined clocks of the observatory. • We ask where does Greenwich ob- servator'y get its time? Man. makes oinks but•ho`has to go -to God to get the correct time to set them by. The stars, the most d'ependa'ble of all' time. pieces' are responsible for this. It is not strange that we. realize the necessity for a standard for time and yet many of*us are so carele's's about seeking a guide for our -daily lives. It was only with the'resui-ree- tion of Jesus Christ that we Were given a 'world standard for Christ- ianity. Some of the churches of our. land, on Palm Sunday, gave to, their parishioners a palm leaf cross. The Cross! What does the cross mean in our individual lives. Are we asham- ed to be seenweaning a Gross, . Rem- ember Jesus Christ tired weary to the state of 'exhaustion, persecuted and deserted, struggled along the way to Calvary carrying the Cross, on which He knew He was to be nailed and on which He realized He was to die. How do we treat Christ? Many at least will have nothing to do: with Him. The season of Lent is passed for this year. More and more through- out the churches is spreading the thought of giving up something -self denial. That is right at anytime. It does seem that people are becoming more earnest. May God, grant that it May be so. What did we give up during. the Lenten season,? Was it something which according to Christ's standard we should not have been doing anyway or perhaps it was something which was ,not good for our system. How many of ns gave to God the gift which He most desir- es, ourselves. If we have not done so it is not yet too late. One clock has, marked on the face of it."It it time to seek the Lord." Time will wait for no man and we must meet Christ either now or in the here- after. Let us make that personal thought and say to ourselves. That means me. What am I going to do about it? Some artists represent "Time" as moving slowly and methodically. Crane in his picture "The Christ of the Fleeting Hours" pictures time as a chariot driven by four wild horses and driven by remorseless youths who are ,00ntinually. lashing the hor- ses on to greater speed. Meanwhile. the sun is sinking and the night rushes on to meet the chariot. A good motto for..ue to have is "I must work while it is day for the night cometh" Asthe day leaves us may we Iook back 'over it with the thought may God forgive me that'''. did .not do more for Him." Time is your opportunity? .right now ,to choose wisely; and well the et- ernal things of God. The majority of watches today have around 175 parts. Each part essential to the proper running of the watch. The' small wheels,- are just as necessary as: the large ones. Were the small wheels to refuse to go be- cause they were . not big the whole mechanism would be useless. So it is in our lives. We all have our part to play and because we are not out in the front line let us not become discouraged. OUT work•ie important. and not only so, but the task of those who are doing the big things may be dependant on us. Be thankful that God has given us some part in His work. Recently we have celebrated the birthday of Baron Lister, the discoverer of asceptic surgery, We cannot invent things like that but we can keep ourselves and our homes clean. In olden days each district had, its own standard of time but as years passed this led to confusion and dis- order and it was found necessary to have some standard of time.

The Squire has always tgaken a keen interest in the show and the superior quality of his stock that he has exhibited has given the Clinton Stock Show a recognized standing in the province. The Planet, Chatham, last week, contained an interesting account of the annual sleeting of the ladies Aid of the Methodist church at North wood of which Mr, C. S. Hawke, for- merley.. of Clinton, is pastor. From the report it would appear also that Mrs. klawlte is taking an aotive part in all her husbancl's work. which would, of course, be expected by ltll her old Linton friends. Mr, 'P1. J.

RED CROSS NOTES Britains Need Urgent A cable from Canadian Red Cress Headquarters in London, England has asked Tiff -unlimited quantities of blankets, quilts and. relief clothing. Further supplies of sweaters, scar- ves, helmets, gloves, mitts socks, py- jamas, bed jackets, dressing gowns, T. bandages and wash cloths will al- so soon bo urgently needed, Red Cross women are urged to keep clos- ely in touch with their local Branch- es for latest instructions on quotas. This aid to civilians has in no way affected the supplies amassed over- seas for use of Canadian forces. ,,Unceasing ail raids have ;created staggering demands for relief and the three great warehouses of the Canadian Red Gross Overseas have pumped steady streams of supplies into devastated areas. A total of two million dollars has been devoted by the Canadian Red Gross to the re- lief of bomb victims. Huge amounts of clothing, woollen comforts, blank- ets and surgical dressings have been sent out to all branches of the fight- ing services. In the 70 days since the first of January,.1941, 1,930,983 articles have been distributed. These include 1.211,657 soldiers' comforts, 410 cases surgical dressings (502,760 art - ides) and 597 cases relief clothing. This represents a total distribution of supplies in a Iittle over 2 months as great as cluing the whole of 1940.

It is from power develop-' ments in the north that electricity is generated for the operation of mines, The Hydro educational film. "The Bright Path," will be shown in the Council Chamber next Monday even- ing, April 21st, at 8 •o'clock. The new Hydro film entilled "The Bright Path" provides an interesting, entertainment' and educational story on Hydro. Some•years.ago, Sir Adan Beck and other men of vision realized the necessity for providing inexpens- ive power to industries of 'Ontario. Many sources of water power were available in Ontario, and as a result, it was deceided that the development of electricity for this purpose would be economical. The Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario ,was then forined, to provide through pub- lic ownership. power "at cost" for both industrial and domestic uses. The growth of Hydro since its in- ception has been tremendous, and in the film, the idea . of the magnitude of this great enterprise may be ob- tained through the graphic construc- tion scenes depleting the building of monster dans and power houses, and the interesting shots of all the prin- cipal power sites of the• system, in- cluding scenes of developments on the Niagara 'River, and Georgian Bay systems, the Eastern Ontario clivis- an industry which has added wonder- ously in developing Ontario's areas ore house s of the north. As a, fitting climax to the film, many scenes are shown indicating the innumerable applications,, for electri- city as applied to industry, as well as the efficiency and economy that may be practised in the,,liome through the use of electrical home' appliances. The regular meeting of the Girl's Evening .Auxiliary was held on Mon- day evening, April 7th. There was no meeting' last Monday evening ow- ing to the holiday.

Even the swift carrier pigeon makes only 40 miles au hour. The telephone covers the distance - well, you might say, instantaneous- r ly. The sound of your voice, changed to electric waves, travels with the speed of light. And it's the same between any two cities of the continent. Whether your message is to Halifax, to Vancouver, New York or San Francisco, the tele- phone makes possible an immense speeding up - distance is hardly a factor any more.
