Perhaps at no other ee period in the history of the world have the youth been called upon to bear as much as they are being ask- ed to do now. The brain power be- hind this awful war may be owned by the Alder men, but the youth are nobly following directions. A father and mother and two sons of military age had lived happily. The one son had just started in his first position and the younger one was taking advanced education. About a week ago there was a noticeable difference about `home. The lights in the house were out early the usual hilarity caused by young people.. was. gone. Why? that afternoon the one son had come home in "Air Force ;Blue" and the youngest one was on call for the same division of the army. This has been the case in many homes throughout the. world. It just has to be! In his recent address in the launch, ing of the Victory Loan Prime Min- ister inister Churchill said "None of us doubts that together, with the whole Empire together with the old world and the new world together no one doubt, that we can or that we shall see it through." In this tremendous task our youth will have a great part although we like to feel that every- one will rho his er her ahsty. The youth of our land are anxious to become men and women who will be fully fitted to take over the work of re -construction at the conclusion of the war. Just how are they going to go about it? The only answer to that question is "Keep in' the straight and honor way." Every other problem which could be advanced is included in that plan. Two theological students were walking down the business section of the town. One, pointing to a sign said." There is a splendid subject for a sermon. The wording was 'Slight- ly soiled—greatly reduced in Price' Flow true that is! Nothing is of full value that has been soiled. There are two mottos which will be very help - Ful to us as we strive to do what is la right "What would Jesus' do" and "Keep on the safe side of uncertain- ty." Following are a few of the ways in which our youth, both young men and young women can keep from be- ing soiled. 1. Do not allow ourselves to be led into anything to which the word "vul- gar" could be applied. Our public amusements are not all that could be desired. We 'come away from theta feeling that our tine could have been better spent.. 2. Never touch the first drop of in- toxicating liquor. One beer parlors are a disgrace to our young tnanhood and young womenhood. Many have faced ruined lives just beanie of tbie curse. In this'eonnoetion let us exert every influence in our power to crash this terrible evil. Every voter can use his franchise to stamp this out. • 3• Never spend ene moment read- ing any form of coarse literature There is enough good reading which will be a great help to us and we can train ourselves to enjoy what is pure and educative along this line. 4. Keep our thoughts pure. Thoughts can be trained and with good .pure thoughts, our actions will be in accord with them. 5. Let our temper be thoroughly under control. A noted writer says "Beware of being anery for anger hurts the soul, and prevents it from discerning the truth." 6. Always keep your promise. So live that everyone will trust you eves without a written guarantee of your' honesty. An honest and trustworthy man will rise in business, when a more clever man without these qualificat- ions would be discharged. 7. If you make a mistake do not bo afraid to acknowledge it. We will be muoh more admired for it. There is no one who has not at some time or other made mistakes. It is hard to acknowledge them but it is ronin the better plan. 8. Before you attempt to do say - thing have it well planned out in your mind, It Will save you a great deal of trouble and at times embarrass- ment. »r. Cd 9. Always be respectful and const- eous, to everyone with whom you comein contact. Rudeness, never pays: _ 10. Carefully guard against any- thing which will in later years injure your health. Good clean living can bring no regrets. 11. From the trine your first pay envelope comes in be very careful how you spend your salary. Never forgetting that it really an belongs to the Lord and that you are,. duty bound to pay a least part of it back. Tour expenditures should always re- flect to God for God. 12. It is always wise to be neat and careful in your appearance. One cannot expect to hold, a geed position of any importance in life if he is not carefully groomed. 13. Should you sow "wild oats". When you are young you are bound to reap just what you have sown. A tree which was bent as a sapling will always show the injury in some form. It may be that no one else will know about your youthful misdeeds, but your own conscience will be a constant reminder to you. 14. Always remember the cern- mandment "Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." We are IargeIy judged in life by the way we treat our parents. 15. 'We cannot go far in life with, cut hard work. Take education as long as your parents can give it to you and when they can no longer af- ford to send you to day school, then finish your education as far as pos- sible at night school. The time is coming when education will be an ab- solute necessity. 16. Let us take criticism kindly and always be glad when some one cor- rects us. Perhaps it may not be done in a right way, but get what profit you can from it. 17. Be careful not to judge other people. We do not know the "ins and outs" of anyone elses life and we may do then a permanent injury by trying to live their lives for them. 18. Accept responsibility, be glad it has been placed upon us and let us do our best to live up to it. In that way we will mount step by step to higher things. 19. One does not need to be old to achieve great things. Many of our most noted men have been young when fame has come to them. How 'u�ne�ili ELPING MET THE The providing of the foodstuffs for an Empire at war is a prodigious undertaking. Fortunately for our fortunes at war we can accom- plish this with comparative ease and little or no disturbance of our regular farming regime. Abundance k our problem. To produce such great quontities of farm products with a minimum of labor—releasing men for more direct war activities—is the triumph of modern power -farming which, with its time -saving multiple operations and cost -reducing equipment, helps the farmer to carry on operations more efficiently to meet the present difficult conditions. Thus modern farm machinery helps agriculture meet the peculiar challenge with which it is confronted in making its contribution to Canada's and the Empires war effort.

Never on any acount be a'eleck watcher. These are twenty ways of walking in the straight and narrow way, many more could be added but now comer the most important of x11. ' It remains yet to be' seen what God can do with man whose powers are wholly yeilded to His will: "Youth with its future ahead of it is the time when we can do the most to help on the Lord's work. No other kind of life will count for anything when we leave this world behind and go oev into the eternal future. Will you not give your life to Him today? "It matters not how long we live, How soon the sand runs in the glass, it matters' only what we •give Of service as we pada. What happens to us eannot count The poignant grief, the blow that stings, What counts is just how we surmount And how we face such thing's. We may do very little well, And few of us will gain our quest But all that we attempt will tell If we have done our best." i's, Aeleatelte et!3 ;wine n st!3i+'#_7elti e iv!

Designed by the builders of the Hurricane it is powered by a 2000 h.p. Rolls-Royce Vulture engine, giving a speed of about 425 m.p.h. Its arm- ament is heavy enough to shatter enemy planes in mid air, Also more powerful than the fam- ous original is the Spitefire 1'Iark 3 an aircraft re -powered with new Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, The de- sign has clipped wings, and in some cases is xe-armed with shell -firing cannon. Another new fighter, the Westland Whirlwind, is similarly powered. Among the bombers the most sen- sational arrivals are fifty Flying Fortresses, the giant Boeing bombers from U.S.A., equipped with the fam- ous Sperry bomb sight of unerring accuracy. All Britain's new heathen/ are designed to meet the current need for very long-range activity combined with greater speed. One is called the Avro Manchester, and has twin Vul- ture engines. Another, the Shears Stirling, with four engines; is both bigger and faster than the existing Flying Fortresses. For long-range work this bomber will be even more useful than the Wellington. It is now disclosed that the fighters now being used against night raiders over Britain include Hawker Hurric- anes, Britols Blenheims and Defiants.

WORLD'S FIRST TOOTHBRUSH Britain„ where the ;w'orld's tfirst toothbrush was made in 1780 is sup- plying overseas countries with nore brushes than ever before, Last year she exported from 25 to 30 per cent. more brushes than in pre-war years, when sales totalled £400,000 to £500,000 annually, in spite of the loss of European machete, whet.° British brushes have a high reputation. Among the markets where progress has been made. largely at the expense of Germany, are South Africa, India and other Empire countries More sales are also expected from Canada; Australia and South America At least nine of Britain's brush - making firms have been established for over One hundred and fifty years, and no fewer than twenty -Seven are between 100 and 260.

NAZI TRADE TRICK Gives Lancashire Big Tarkish Order+ Behind a shipment of cotton piece goods now on its way to Turkey lies a story of British ingenuity in out- witting unfair German competition. Three years ago a British textile firm heard from ono, of their colon- ial agents that German export groups were marketing a line of cotton prints at prices from 10 to 40 per cent. be- low cost of production in order that the Nazis might pile up foreign ex- change. Undeterred by this competition, which was subsidised by Hitler, the British firm set to work and produced a similar line, the first shipments of which went to the Colonies a few weeks after the outbreak of war. Overseas customers pronounced the goods admirable and far superior to Germany's. Samples were offered elsewhere, and following the commercial agree- ment between the United Kingdom and Turkey. so much business was oh - tented in the first fortnight of this year from the latter 'country that the order books had to be closed. Istnbul experts quicldy refuted the Nazi .claim that Lancashire tee no longer able to meet German compet- ition, in this class of cotton textiles, and, following the first shipment, some 20,000 pieces are going to Tur- key over the next month or so. Important business has also been booked for two other markets.
