I+ In the newspapers we, at times, read of young boys and even girls who are drought up in Junvenila Courts. They are so young and tend- er hi years that their names are not mentioned. At, that age they' are commencing on alife of crime, a life which will eventually snake them a "Public Enemy Number One." Many times .such a one faces a prison term, or even execution, they realize that ;they have made a big mistake. Even .then it is not too late for them to ac- cept Christ and be saved. Often they plead that they may be given a chance to send a message and a warn ing to those who. are starting on the road .of 'crime. They invariably: ack- nowledge that they have done wrong; that there is no joy in breaking the law; and that after their years of crime they deserve the punishment i which'has been meted out to them. They give no encouragement to any one to follow in their footsteps. At times they put the blame on their home training, but one cannot say that these are always cases where jchildren have. not' been taught the love of Christ in their homes. In. some instances saintly fathers : and mothers have spent the last years of their lives in sadness due to the mis- deeds of a child grown to manhood and womenhood who has disregarded all the laws of God and has gone down the broad way to destruction, just simply because they were reap- ing what they sowed in their younger days. Unfortunately one does not suffer alone in such cases too often the innocent spend many hours of worry over them, A questionaire sent out to several parents as to what was the highest ambition they had for their children resulted in the following answers: (1) I should like n• -v daughter t be a ehristian in the truest sense of the word—a golden rule with a heart full of loving sympathy and under- standing to all who are in need, (2) My wish is that my family will so live that the world will be the bet- ter for their having lived in it -that they may be charitable in judgment -anti if they cannot' boast, not to knock. (3) From very earliest childhood my first desire is to teach my children the Presence of God—God within and without, I try to feed their souls rather than their bodies. I try not to neglect the word of God, which is able to make us wise unto salvation. Itis sufficient for the growth of character and my great ambition is to.make them Christ like. (4) Our ambition for our sons is that they should have a living faith in God and in. Jesus Christ as their Saviour: With this as a foundation our ;rope is that they will be led by the Holy Spirit to find their proper sphere of service and develop° to the utmost the powers of body, mind and Writ. (6) , My ideal for my family—The greatest of all in that they may have a common knowledge of the man Jes- us Chrst and with that as an impell- ing force that they may become good citizens, the builders of good homes.

A. F." By B. M. P. While the Canadian editors' party witnessed plenty of aerial activity during their tour of Eastern Canada, actually only three flying schools or stations were on the agenda. ' For this reason and because ' 'Canadian weekly newspapers have already car- ried a series of articles on the Com- monwealth Air Training Plan,, the present article will Ileal only in gen- eral way with progress we noted ht this all-important phase of - Canada's ` war program. • We stopped briefly at the Marton Airport, location of Elementary Fly- ing and. Air. Observers' Schools, as well as being a central link in Trans- Canada Air Lines. In the latter con- nection we were told that aviation authorities regarded the Mahon Air- port as the outstanding' one of its kind on the • American continent. It is: a thrill to watch the big silvery planes take off with their load of. pas- . sengers for destinations all across Canada. At the Training School tense,activity prevailed in both bran nhes of instructional work: The em- bryo pilots receive fifty hours of fly- I ing at this school, using the Canadr ran -built de Havilland Tiger Motli. This sturdy little . biplane has a top speed of. 104 miles an hour. The air observers on the other hand use the twin -engine Avro Anson bomber for their training in'recomtaissanec, ser- ial photogrhaphy, bombing and air navigation. • Camp Borden The next day we were at Camp Borden, where we lunched with the officers of the Service Flying Train- ing School and learned Chet the war birds are again, .as in the Great War, making good use of the Borden han- gars. Shortly after noon the sun broke through low -hanging rainI clouds and there followed a great scramble as one hundred Yale and Harvard training planes were readied for flight. It is said that on a busy day planes are taking off from or landing on this field at an average of one every 25 seconds. The interval - seemed even shorter during our stay. The pilots at Camp Borden, having already learned the ABC's of flying it Elementary School, are now in ad- vanced instruction. They receive 75 hours of flying in ten weeks at Bor- den. Instrument flying, night flying, aerobatics and formation flying are taught here and lessons are continued in wireless, armament, navigation and airmanship. We saw another type of air school n its organization stage at Camp Debert, N.S., when we visited the It. A.F. Operational•Training Unit, This is a finishing school for pilots who will be assigned to Coastal Command. overseas. It will offer an eight-week been proved by the different families referred to. One +cannot help but be- lieve that these parents are simply wishing their families to have the same happy Christian experiences which they, themselves are enjoyng. Can parents, expect their children to want a Christianity which is not fol- lowed in their own home? What is more beautiful than a mother and daughter or a father and son who are together engaged in Christian work? If people would only realize it there is no work which brings comfort to one as does the work of Jesus Christ, When we have accepted Him and are working in cooperation with Him we have the assurance that He joins with us in all our Christian pleasures and when sorrow and adversity come into our lives He is there willing and ready to sympathize with us, He alone can comfort us. These things have been tested, and tried. ' Do not allow the thought that some one who professes Christianity and does not live the life they should, to in any way- hinder us in our work, The way they live has nothing to do with us, If we are walking close to Christ we will not be called upon to answer for anyone else. We will have done all we can to help them. It seems a foolish thing to allow such a thought to come between us and our Saviour and' thus spoil years of Christian service, There are many people who do not read Gods word but they do read the lives of those with, whom they come in contact day by day. What kind of a Book are we?—Let our lives be an open Bible that others will want to •read. There is no temptation which we cannot ov- ercome if we keep close to Christ in prayer. • I know not what th'e future hath Of ,marvel or surprise, Assured alone that, life and death His mercy underlies. And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain, • The bruised, read, He will not break, But strengthen and sustain. And so beside the silent sea wait the muffled oar; No harm: from Him can come to me On ocean or an shore. D know not where His islands left Their fronded paints in air; I -only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care." d "PEG" .ai01..1 course for pilots from Service Flying. Schools such as Borden. Graduates will become pilots in Hudson' squad- rons, defending waters about the British Isles. Instructors itt th School are all experienced pilots from Britain and most of thein hava been through the blitz over England' and the continent. In talking with them, they expressed admiration for Canada but also an eagerness to be back in England helping to defend their homes acid faniilies. Empire Air Scheme This was not the only place where we encountered British, airmen,' More and more Canada is being looked to as the ideal training -ground for Em- pire fighters. England no longer has adequate space and blitz conditions are not healthy for trainees. We saw more than 'one trainload of . young English lads westward bound din the course of our tour. We met lads from Australia and New Zealand and many from the United States. The Commonwealth Air Training Plan is still growing and the end is not in sight. At present the Plan calls for 90 training schools and the necessary auxiliary establishments, such as re- cruiting centres, command headquar- ters, repair and equipment depots to a total of 124 units ;spread across Canada, with nearly 100 aerdromes and 1,860 buildings. The staff re- quired for inCtrneto'rs, acinrinistia- tion and maintenance of the schools is 40,000' inert: 'Cost of the plan was originally estimated at $600,000,000, of which Canada's share was to be about $350,000,000, but the total was later boosted to $1,000,000,000, with Canada's portion about $600,000,- 000. The Plan has expanded •-very rapidly since it was announced in December, 1939; and it is now twin- ing out thonsands of pilots, gunners and observers at about twice the rate originally planned for this time. The Ferry Service Meanwhile the Atlantic Ferry Ser- vice is another•twentieth century in- novation which would have seemed incredible a few years ago. We beard a story concerning the Atlantia flight made recently by Hon, C. G. Power, Minister of Defence for Air. It seems that he was about to leave. Scotland one morning in Itis return journey and in the hotel lobby just prior to leaving he had a few minutes' conversation with a casual acquain- tance. That evening Mr. Power walked into the lobby of the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa to meet face to face the same man with whom he had conversed in Scotland. The surprise was mutual. The incident shows how distance has diminished and that man has truly taken wing. Several members of our party had already made the flight to Britain and return and spoke of it quit cas- ually. Another young man; James Spence, press officer of Canada House, London, came over by boat but was leaving at the tour's end to take a bomber eastward across the Atlan- tic. He was one of the most inter- ested observers on the trip and de- clared he would have a real story to tell upon his return home. `Jimmy' Spence was through the blitz from start to finish, serving as an Air Raid Warden in his own London district and it was clear that he retained many terrible memories. He said that the bright lights of Canada's cities were the most amazing phenomenon 'of his' visit. Another member of the party was Group Captain Sully, form- er Commanding Officer of the Tren- ton Air Station who took charge on Visits to the air training centres. He remarked that about 3,000 lads were coming in through the 17 recruiting centres every two weeks. Canada pro- vides about 80 per cent of the stud- ents. The remainder are from Eng- land, Australia and New Zealand, Add to this fact that Canadian air- plane factories are turning out 40 planes a week and we gain some con- ception of the stupendous undertak- ing in which Canada is engaged. Ministers Speak In Concluding this article we would like to quote from speeches by Fed- eral Cabinet Ministers during our stay in Ottawa. Hon, Mr, Ralston: ,"We need men, munitions and money. We especially need men and more men. England wants' more Canada lana. The end of the war is not in sight. Such talk is just wishful (thinking. We' are just preparing to t win it. We welcome constructive criticism. It spurs us to greater ef- fort." Hon. Mr. Power: "Recruiting for the R.C.A.F..is being going well. We require youths from high schools, col- leges and universities. We need men of special aptitudes. We welcome criticism of any and all kinds. Let ,us have it. Without 'criticism we would fall short of our best efforts," Hon. Mr. Howe: "Raw materials are now the problem. More must be diverted front private consumption. Sharp curtailment is required in the non-essential industries. War indus- try is moving along well now after many heartaches and bottle -necks. I want to add that there is absolutely no profiteering in the munition in- dustry. We have taken every safe- guard to prevent it and the vast maj- ority of Canadian firms are only too anxious to produce at reasonble uric - PAGE 7•' e must F nw: ® •;;l T E' I els t,, SAQ Iii G S Ci'BI���il:r S:ltTTAa=::'+, The people of Canada are the most fortunate in the world. Fortunate in the great sweep of space that is ours front ocean to ocean. Fortunate in the vast yield and immense resources of our forests, fields and :nines. Fortunate, too, in our democratic insti- tutions. In a word, fortunate in our freedom. This freedom is threatened today as it has never been threatened before. The fall of the British Empire would mean complete dislocation of our un- fettered way of life. Everyone wants this way of life defended —this freedom saved for our own future and for posterity. The response to every appeal for our defence has been mag- nificent—heartening to the whole Empire —alarming to Hitler. But the need for weapons of war grows ever more urgent, as the Nazi threat spreads wider over the world. The help of every Canadian is needed for Victory. In these days of war the thoughtless, selfish spender is a traitor to our war effort. . A reduction in personal spending is now a vital necessity to relieve the pressure for goods, to enable more and more labour and mater- ials to he diverted to winning the war. The all-out effort, which Canada must make, demands this self-denial of each of us. Invest in War Savings Certificates the dollars you don't need to spend. After Victory, they come back to you with interest. Spend less NOW so that you can spend more THEN, when labour and materials will be available for the things you need. There is no price too high for freedom. Four Simple Regular Methods of Saving PAYROLL SAVINGS PLAN—For salary and wage earn- ers.

The words of General Wavell, the noted British leader of Libyan fame,' were recalled, when he said: "What a world we could make if we would put into peace -time endeavours the ener- gy, self-sacrifice and eooperation that we use in the whstefulness of war." (Next Week: "The Navy") A WAR -TIME HYMN by Lexie Doherty May be sung to tune, St. Christo- pher, No. 140, in the Anglican church Hymnal. God save the British Empire, God bless our gracious king. In penitence and humble prayer, Our cause to Thee we bring. "Thy hand, 0, God, has guided Our land from age to age;" Turn thou in mercy, Father, And save our heritage. Though stained with sin and error, Our land forever stands For freedom and for holy things, And men in other lands, In anguished bondage waiting To this last hope still cling That thou wilt save our empire Guide and sustain our king. The powers of sin and darkness Have loosed their deadly might; The world, 0 God, must turn to Thee, Thou everlasting Light. 'Tis in thy cause we fight today, So may thy people sing, God save the British Empire. God bless our gracious king. When peace shall raise her hammer, At Thine all -gracious will, 0 let Thy wisdom guide us then, And keep us humble still. With thankful hearts 0 God shall we This' glorious anthem bring— "Our God hath saved the empire, , Blessed and upheld the king," Amen. It is suggested that readers will cut this hymn out of the News -Record and paste it 'on their hymn books, when it could be sung in the ehnreliee, ' l,: k.44.11114JlMillit SIII t THREE' DOTS AND A DASH Three dots and a dash for victory. There's a part for us all to play; May each dot be a pause for re- flection In everyone's working day.
