THE FAMOUS ENERGY FOOD The CANADA S'TARC11 COMPANYLimlted ALMOST A few days ago we learned of a, tragedy on Lake Huron just outside Goderich Harbour. "The "Gilly", a 4P0 foot vessel, loaded with approxi- inately 3,500 cedar posts had the mis- fortune to have the oil line on her 'engine brcak,.then the bearings burn- ed out and seized. The anchors fail- ed to hold and the 'vessel drifted. It later sprung a leak and was helpless. Just how can we make this experi- •enee applicable to our own life. We know that life is a stormy pas- sage and without a sure Pilot on Sad, sad, that bitter wail - board we will most certainly run a- Almost—but Insti„ ground. We are too frail to guide ',our own life boat. If we try to we will most certainly drift withersoever the winds of life drive us. No matter how certain the Captain is that his vessel will weather 'the most severe storm, there is always a chance of something going',wrong, but with Jesus Christ as the Pilot of our life nothing can go wrong. Jesus will remain on board the. shin of ow life as long as we want Him to. ° Apparently the anchor of the Gi11y would not hold, but when we find our- selves slipping we ran east the anchor of prayer and that anchor will hold. God will hear our prayers, we all know that from experience, and they have been answered in a way which is much better than we deserve. [,s the Lilly drifted there are those who have drifted on in Sin. The influ- ence of Christ has never really be- come their own, Perhaps at some time they have attended . a revival meeting and their hearts have been touched. They have been brought close to the harbor. The Lilly broke away from her rescuer just at the mouth of the harbor. So they have allowed themselves to drift away from good influence and have again, gon back into the world. As the "Gilly" was . forced upon a rock• and broken, even so are our lives. We go down and downn in sin until at last we come upon some dis- aster which brings us to the: sense of our need of Jesus "Christ. In our broken state we ask Jesus to come aboard and be our Pilot. We give I•Iim the wreck of our lives, and in His Gra- cious Goodness He accepts it and gives us a fresh start. Do we want to go to Him empty handed? We a- lone have it in our power . to answer that question. Let us beware lest the verse of that famous hymn ."Al- most Persuaded," should: be applied to us. "Almost persuaded: harvest is past!

Ships, flowers, trees, clouds, locomotives, colonial' architecture,, historical monuments, gargoyles, 'Machinery, babies, horses, -logs, oats, birds, insects, are only a few subjects which have their devotoes FIs speolal-picture hobbies. Trinthusi• •asm for photography combines with the collector's instinct, resulting in Iburns of photographs of the. chosen subject that are a source of pride, •. leasure and instruction. • In addition to the enjoyment of making the photographs, the value of a special picture hobby is that 'It usually leads to an accumulation of knowledge about the subjectthat is educational and broadening. 12 • The photographer starts making.pic- 'tures of flowers, he sob: discovers that there are many things about flowers that he never knew ii0±ose.

A Good Floor Covering The housewife who islookingfora distinctive floor and one that is easy to keep clean might bear in mind that linoleum is adaptable to every room in the house. In the nursery, where bread and jam are likely to be dropped, it -Makes an excellent,floop covering. In the sewing room, where threads and scraps litter the floor on work days, on the sunporch where mud from the garden is tracked, in the hall where wet footprints may be found on ev- ery rainy day, and in the kitchen and bathroom, it is a practical covering. Special designs may be chosen for living, dining, and bedrooms that are as attr'aetive to look at as they are practical. These floors may be Wax- ed. Linoleum which is permanently laid is eligible for installation under the Dominion Government's Horne Im- provement Plan. DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD An Imperial Scout Conference During the Jamboree, leaders of the principal Empire Scout contingents were called together by Lord Baden, Powell, as an Imperial Scout Com- mittee, and as Canada's representa- tive, Mr. Stewart was made its first chairman. At the opening session reference was made to a statement by- the Prime Minister of Canada, the Pion, Mackenzie King,,at tite last Im- perial Conference, stressing the value of such Empire gatherings and the free exchange of experiences, infor- mation and opinions. Many matters of general Scouting interest were discussed, The next meeting of the Imperial Scout Committee will be held in Scotland in 1939, during the 3rcl World Rover Scout gathering. In addition to Canada, the conference was attended by representatives of Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa and Great Britain. A Mountain Hike for Calgary Scouts A 100 miles' hike over Rocky MOun- tain foothill trails, fishing and cmnp- ing amid snow- in July, was the sum rner's outing of older Scouts of ,the 2nd Calgary Scout Troop. Ifits and supplies- were carried: by pack pon- ies.

A HEALTH SERVICE OF ONE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND 'LIFE INSURANCE CDMPANI ES IN CANADA SEE YQUJR DOCTOR 4e do not want to be ,accused, of plagiarism but we cannot resist the temptation to lift three paragraphs from the speech of a layman because we believe he says things which should be often' said and moreover tae says them; with such conviction and clarity that we doubt if we could say theni as well ourselves. Then toe may we •repeat, he is a layman, not a doctor. Here is what he said-- "See aid—"See your doctor . at the first sign of trouble. • See him promptly. 'Pe - ,day there is much that medical science is able to do in the prevent- ion of serious complications. Delay is an open invitation to unnecessary suffering and permanent disability." "With the help of modern scientific equipment, with a •fund of co -ordin- ary medical and surgical knowledge, undreamed of even by our grandfath- ers, your doctor can, PREVENT dis- eases that were once supposed to be the natural heritage of mankind. He can CURE diseases which were once unqualifiedly labeled `fatal'." "But he can: do these things only with your cooperation. To GET his help you must SEEK it. The better he knows you, the more he can do for You. That is why it is short- sighted and wasteful to wait until an emergency compels you to see him. Regular health examinations are not costly, they are economical. Self diagnosis and self medication gambles with health and maybe with life, When our watch needs attention or our car or our furnace we call skilled mechanics to our service. So why trifle with our greatest possess ion, the human body. Fortunate in- deed is the man who has a family physician whom he trusts and whom he and his family may go regularly to seek advice and counsel on how to maintain that most priceless of all possessions, good health. Our Rights As Canadian Subjects Provincial or territorial boundaries should hold no significance in the mind of a Canadian subject when he contemplates .his fundamental rights as a citizen. These rights are no less real because they are not en- umerated in any written constitution. They are, as a Matter of fact, his greatest heritage as a British sub- ject. If at any time they are threat- ened from any source, he will turn instinctively to the Ring as the pro- tector of the rights of all his sub- jects. The Crown, as millions of Canadians were reminded vividly dur- ing the coronation, symbolizes, among otheu virtues, that of justice. The fundamental rights of. all Canadian subjects include such things as freedom of religious belief,. free- dom of speech, freedom of assembly and the freedom. of the press. When a tendency to restrict the civil liberties of the individual be- comes clearly defined, as it has in Alberta within the past year ar two, the great mass of eitizeng may be depended upon to protest vigorously, Somethses,' however, the infringe - meat is: not'. recognized at once by the average person owing to the legal Phraseology which may be used, But whenever and wherever a tendency to curtail fundamental British liberties is manifested, prompt checks should be applied. (Canadians should beware always, of any legislative measure which would seek to compromise or limit those underlying principles of the :constitu- tion, • unwritten though ,they , are, Which protect the liberty, of the ins dividual. These principles are part of the great heritage of British free- dom which our forefathers bought at a heavy price. That Canadians wish democracy and ; ,asoma!• ;liberty Itoi endure in the Dominion—and in all parts* of. the Dominion—is only ±he bare troth. . A declaration by the bedeial Gov- ernment that it stands ready tode- fend at; all times the fundamental rights o f Canadians everywhere would 'beacceptable in all parts of the country. It should not hesitate to make clew to all provincial gov- ernments that it will disallow at once any legislation . infringing' on th e rights of the individual to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and a fire press: The Dominion, under the British North America. Act, has the right to disallow any provincial legislation: When fundamental rights of 'Canadian subjects are affected immediate disallowance should be the fate of the offensive 'legislation.

SOMETIME Sometime, when all life's lessons have been learned, And son and stars forevermore have set, , The thingzf, 'which our weak! judg- ments here have spurned, The things o'er which we grieve with lashes wet, Will flash before us, out of life's dark night, As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue; And we shall see how all .God's plans are right, ' And how what seemed reproof was love most ;true. —Mary Riley Smith; THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here They Will Sing You Their Songs --Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad—But-.Always Helpful and Inspiring. WHICH MAN•ARE YOU? There are men in whose, presence your cares disappear, In the light of whose smile there 18 joy; There are others you meet Make the sun •from the day, All the cheer in your heart they destroy, And all of you know theni—they're part of your life, You meet them wherever you go— The man you delight to accept as a friend, And the man you would rather not know. One thinks about others, and one of himself; One interests, while one is a bore; To one you will give all the best in your house, The other, won't get past the door. And one makes you feel you're a prince of a chap, And one sets your worth very law— The man yeti delight to accept as a friend, And the man you would rather not know. While one's easy manner is balm to your soul, While he puts you at peace with. the world, The other leaves nerves that are jag- ged and frayed, In perpetual disorder they're whirl- ed. One has something of God, one is wholly of Man, One is simple, one bursts with Ego— The man you delight to accept as a friend, And the man you would rather not know. Which person you are is revealed in your acts, For these yon can have no defense; From your thoughts spring the deeds that betray the real YOU, Whatever your sham and pretense, And it's worth while to know that the earth can be yours, For the best things in life• we be- stow • On the man we delight to accept as a friend, Not the man we would rather not 1011030. —Bill Smith, in Toronto Globe. WAGES It's dresses for the women, and 'it's shoes and bonnets newt It's pretty frocks for little folks and things they like to do; It's picture shows and picnics and ' it's ninsie lessons, too. It's overcoats in winter and galoshes for their -feet; It's curtains at the windows and a parlor always neat; It's a home they can be proud of and it's something good to eat. As formeI need' but little and my wants are very few. Had I became a hermit I'd not ask for raiment new. . To keep myself were easy if that's all I had to do.

You have to believe the buds will grow, Believe in the grass and the, days of snow. Ah! there's the . reason a. bird easy sing, On his darkest day he believes in Spring.. You have to believe in happiness, It isn't an outward thing. The Spring makes the song, I guess, As much as the song the Spring. Aye, many a heart could find content If it saw the Joy on the road it went, The Joy ahead when it had to grieve, For the Joy is there—but you have to believe. —Author Unknown.. UNTIL NEXT SUMMER Fold up the robes which the summer has kissed, Lay them away, they will not be missed; Crumple the furbelows, fleecy and light; Crush clown the gossamer floating and white; Fold Allem up softly, sweet maiden. today, For the sunshine of summer has melted away. The roses and lilies so fair and so frail, Have gone from the garden and died in the vale. And pansies and gentian and sweet mignonette, With the tears of October are droop, itig and wet; So ,fair litte maiden, the light tissues fold Ere the sun Of November shines whitely and cold. So folding thy vesture to lay out of sight, With sweet-snielling posies, with heart bounding light, Yet fold in a prayer for the strength you may need— A prayer which He grants to `the storm -beaten reed, For strength in its weakness—a stay evermore, Until winters and summers on earth shall be o'er. —Exchange.
