AFTER RAIN All day the rain has blown a silver spray Upon the pines and now toward night has gone. `The western clouds fold back a little way To show the sunset's gay phenom- enon, • And all the broken grey of eastern sky Is sMoulderiltg with purple lights that change 'To o deeper purple as we watch. A sigh Disturbs the waiting pines as 'if some strange Musician gently fingered woodland lutes And sang the witching magic of the hour, When through the night clear the liquid flutes 'Of whip -poor -wills that haunt some leafy bower.. Then something in the sweet and peaceful calm Enfolds our spirits like a healing balm, —Carol M. Ritchie. THE BRIDGE YOU'LL NEVER CROSS It's what you think that stakes world Seem sac; or gay to you; Your mind may color all things grey di make thein radiant hue. Ee glad today, be true and wise, Distinguish geld from dross; Waste neither -time nor thought about The bridge you'll never cross. TILL THE TIDE TURNS Just keep on • An' keep on a-givin, An' keep on a-tryin' to smile; Just keep on a-singin', A-trustin' an' a-clingin' To the promise of an afterwhile. For the sun comes up Ain' the sun goes down, An' the mornin' follows night; There's a place to rest Like a mother's breast, An' a time when things come right Just keep on believin', An' .a-hidin' all your grievin', An' keep on a-tryin' to cheer. Just keep on a-prayin!', A-lovin' an' a-sayin' The things that we love to hear. For the tide comes in An' the tide goes out, An' the dark will all turn bright; There's a rest from the load An' an end to the road, An' a place where things come right. —The War Cry. BEEP YOUR MIND ON IT. There's a simple driving maxim That sums up all the coder "Keep your mind upon your driving And your eye upon the road." Ib's a job will keep you busy Without adding any load, Just to keep your mind on driving And your eye upon the road. The highway may be smooth and clear, But trouble sure will bode If you're careless with your driving And forget to watch the road. Whenever you go driving In you! head keep this thought stowed: "Keep your mind upon your driving And you eye upon the. road." On a journey, if you're wanting To come safe to your abode, Don't let your thoughts go wand'ring Or your eye stray from the road. If there's scenery that attracts you It were better if you slowed— Or stopped -blue lakes, green hills and such Don't help you watch -the road. he So keep a -thinking of. it 'Till right into you its "growed", "Keep your mind upon your driving And your eyes upon the road." 'There's nseftil work for you to do, For hand and brain and heart; 'There's urgent human service, too In which to take your part; Make every opportunity A worth -while gain. not loss; 'The best is yours, so do not fear The bridge you'll never cross. If life seems drab and difficult, Just face it with a will; Yon do not have to work alone Since God is with you still Press on with courage toward the goal, , With Truth your shield emboss; .Be strong, look up and just ignore The bridge, you'll never cross. —Grenville Kleiser. PLAYING THE GAME - i Whatever the game, and whatever' the odds, The winning is all up to you; For it ien't the score, and it isn't the prize, i That counts when the playingis' through! In the great game of Life, it's the purpose to win, And the courage to fight to the end, I 'That determines for you what degree of success Will be scored to your credit, my friend. "The best you .can do may not be: quite enough To defeat your opponents today; But you never . can lose, and you, never can fail, If you "put all you've got in; your Play: And the greatest reward that your efforts can bring Is the fact that you stood to the test— 'That you played 'a ,clean game, and you fought a good fight, And you always were doing your laden air as. well as undernormal best; --Stewart-Wa(rnerite, i visibility. CANOEING AT DUSK A heaven of stars looks down On a river of stars below, Yet the western sky still. clings To the last faint, sunset glow; Ah! the world is a thing forgot As you lazily -drift along, Waking the river echoes With the haunting lilt of a song. There's a brooding peace on the river -As if some mystic hand Had• smoothed each singing ripple Hacl hushed the sounds of land; Among the whispering rushes, That edge the winding stream, Like elfin lanterns of the dusk The dancing fireflies gleans: Weird, low croak of a frog, In some willow -shadowed _pool,. Silver' glean of a fish, In. the waters greenly ,cool, A quaint little crooning wind I That sings to itself in the trees, Earth 'holds much that is fair Yet naught can rival these. These are the joys of the 'stream That roams at its 'awn. sweet will, Through daised country 'meadow, By village andtree-crowned hill; While the dusk drops gently down, And deepens, more and more, Till" the little wistful homelights Shine out along the shore, —By Molly. Bevan. Canada exported 8,311 tons of wheat to Italy during 'the first five months of 1933, Motor accessoty sales reveal a growing appreciation of road lamps -formerly regarded only as "fog lamps." The effectiveness of these lamps is due to the amber lenses, and to the location of the lamp close to the road,. ;which prevents the beams being reflected back into the, driver's 'eyes. Their use is no long- er restricted to foggy weather, as it has been found that they are highly effective in dust or smoke Tested 1 Recipes s It i$ peach time in Canada. Early varieties of peaches grown in the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, and in the Okanagan Walley, /British Col n tibia, are now on the market, and will soon be followed by later varie- ties.

FROM WAR-TORN SPAIN TO PEACE IN ROCKIES From the tension of war-torn Spain to the solitude and peace of the; Columbia Icefield region 'in the Canadian Rockies is the contrast in experience of Miss Geraldine Bast - ow of Bournemouth, England, A former employee of the British Agency at Salamanca, seat of Gen- eral 'I!ranco's Government, Miss Bestow is attending the annual camp of the Canadian Alpine Club in Jasper National Park. The English -alpinist, one of many European attending this - y'ear's camp, described her .'experience in Spain as living on the edge of a volcano." Prior to that she visited Austria and was there during the occupation of that country by Germ- any. Canada's mountains she regards as a havenfrom world ills. A golf match over a 148 -mile course was •played recently by two Detroit women with, the aid of a LaSallci automobiles Covering; "18 Boles on 18 different. courses, play began on a public links at the east- ern end of the city and ended,, after a oiretiit of. Detroit golf clubs, on -a west side links. Following the match Miss Margaret Russell, one of the players, alighted from the LaSalle and said "I'll never again be satis- fied to walk around a golf course." HIS CARE "Father, .I stretch my hands. to Thee; No other help I know, If Thou withdraw Thyself from me, Ah! whither shall I go?" The most intensive thought 'can- not bring to our minds what our world today would be if the Iast two lines of the preceding verde were true: "If Thou withdraw Thyself from me, Ah! whither shall I go?" To take Christ out of our lives would mean to take love in the broadest sense of the word front us, for love is the basis of every kindly act we dor All we have to do in order to real- ize this is just to look around. As we walk through our cities, towns, villages and surrounding country we see the beauty of Nature, The love of God has in this particular sphere alone given us a beauty, which even uncultivated, surpasses any know- ledge. - The love of beauty is ,the fundamental reason behind the mag- nificent flower beds we have; the wellkeptlawns and houses. Ourchurches are the product of love, for without that essential we would have nothing - to talk about in a building dedicated as the House of God is. At some time in our lives many of us have been in a hospital. Love and pity "fore the, sufferer have prompted . the organization of these institutions providing homes for or- phan children, care of the blind, aged, etc. Our schools are another example of What Christ's coning to the world meant to us. This time it is the love of children and their future. Can we imagine what life person- ally would be to us if there was no Christ? The love of Christ is the basis of Christianity, Christ is Christianity and without Christianity we would be in the same state as the heathen of India, Chiha;"Afrida etc: Not liv- ing in those countries it is impos- sible to imagine just what we would feel like under the sane circum- stances. We should be profoundly thankful that when the first mis- sionaries were sent - out they cane in our direction, and we should consider it a high• duty to help to send the gospel to those to whom it is still an unsealed Book. Of course we cannot be true Chris- tians and not have love in our hearts, towards God, towards our fellow be- ings and towards all Christian causes. The love of Christ in our hearts makes a pathway along which our prayers ascend to Jesus Christ. In Sorrow, in perplexity, in discourage- ment, in sickness, in joy it is a bles- sed thing to feel that we have a Saviour, who is willing and glad to share our_lives with us, We would be so much happier if we would only realize that Jesus wants to be with us, even in the trifling things of life; and 'in the every 'day perplexities. His' promises are extended to us, but we can only appreciate theist as we keep so close to Him that our every thought proves to be a pram .bf thanksgiv- ing or of :supplication. That is the situation Christ wishes to find us in. "Oh lonely heart! and wounded in the fight. , 'Who recognize you've sinned against the light, Who—longing for some understand- ing, friend On whom—in spite of all -you can depend; Give ear, I pray you, for I' know the one, Who never failed ;the soul who leaned upon .

The baby, .under such. circumstances is immune to measles. Why, since ,only about a% of all persons escape measles, is the little baby immune? The reason for this protection is that the baby has substances in its blood, gaineld it is faintest certain from the' mother, -which prevents for a time at least, its taking measles. It is well known that one attack of measles almost invariably confers a - definite protection against sub- sequent attacks. Rather rarely a person may have a second dose of measles, but this is uncommon. In a study of 14,744 cases in Providence, R.I., 689 had a second attack and of these 41 had measles a third time. The close similarity between measles and German measles, accounts for many of the so-called second attacks. In scarlet fever and diphtheria, immunity comes with adult life to a considerable extent; this is not the case with measles for in measles adults are just as susceptible as children; in fact measles is rather malignant in virgin soil. Both meas- les and influenza may wipe out a large proportion of people who hail never before experienced these a£- fecticus. In 1775 measles was in- troduced ntroduced into the Sandwich Islands, and in 4 months, 40,000 of a popula- tion of 150,000 died. The son of the Chief of the Fiji Islands carried the disease from Syd- ney, Australia, to his home with the result that one-fifth of the popula- tion' (20,000) died, These facts in- dicate that a certain amount - of re- sistance to the disease is required by communities in which it has pre- vailed for a long .time. After -an-•alltack of .measles the blood is rich in what are called im- mune bodies able to neutralize the viens of the disease. This property of the blood gradually weakens with advanping age but retains its ef- ficacy for life. Because of this, convalescent serum, that is the wat- ery part of the blood of a person who has had measles, is now used to cut short an attack. If given be- fore the middle of the period of in- cubation, namely the 5th clay after exposure, an appropriate dose of this serum will usually protect the per- son exposed. This protection will last for about three weeks. Fresh whole blood will act quite as well. The serum is injected into the mus- cular tissues. If given between the 5th and 8th day after exposure the serum will not prevent but, is likely to modify the seriousness of the attack, After the rash appears the serum seems to have no effect. Measles is! an extremely "'catch- hug" disease. Its virus is probably transmitted by means of the secre- tions of the nose, 'and throat and most often during the early stages of the disease. It is always wise to prevent, if possible, children taking measles. It is foolish, as Parents used to clo, needlessly to expose their children to this or any other infectious dis- ease, Over 90% of the fatal cases occur clttring the first five years of life. If convalescent serum Is promptly -used we can prevent meas- les, or at least lessen its ill.effects.

System. We have noticed with sat- isfaction that you have extended this td, - Canada's newest" enterprise, the Trans -Canada Air Lines. I hope that the weekly newspapers will continue their valuable work of fostering a spirit of unity through- out the Dominion and encouraging Canadians to work for steady ' im prevenient in conditions by avoiding useless controversies which can only tend to retard the nation's progress. Above all, I hope you will carry on your discouragement of those nes- ' simists who seem to have no other contribution to make than the fore- cast of disaster. The things to be advocated today, it seems to me, are the avoidance of anything which might cause sectional, racial or any other form of strife, and the positive qualities of sane optimism and hard work. These, I thinkyou will agree are Canadian characteristics. It is not enough to recognize them and be proud of them; we must maintain and extend them.

' THE man who says "nothing ever 1 happens on a farm" certainly isn't talking about pictures. On al- most any farm, If you keep your eyes open, you will .find enough snapshot material to keep the cam- era busy from early morning to late at' night—and still not exhaust the supply. Farm animals offer scores of pic- ture ehauces—woollyy lambs in the Sun, a hen fussing over her brood of chicks, cows being driven in for .milking, pigs at the trough (or their owner summoning them with a lusty shout), horses drinking, ducks wad- dling in a line about the yard or taking au afternoon "cruise" in the pond. Work scenes in-the'ileld make excellent pictures, and fresh -plowed land with long deep farrows is good for pattern snapshots. The orchard in bloom is a scene of beauty, and all around the house and barn lot there are details which make pictures. Get a snap of Grandfather whit- tling, mending a single -tree, or busy at a whirling grindstone.
