MacLennan of Toronto, in tate Oct. lst issue of the "United Church Obeerver", refers to Squad- ron Leader Charles C. Murray, who is well known throughout this district,. and who was a resident of Seaforth while padre at the Clinton radio school.. "Like finding a lovely garden in the midst of a boiler factory!" This was the expressive if inelegant comment which one visitor made upon entering the new Chapel of No. 1 "M" Depot, Royal Canadian Air Force, Toronto: Toronto's Manning Depot 1s the -larg- est centre of personnel in the Empire, but unlike the advanced training sta- tions of the British. Commonwealth Atr Traiiling Plan, its buildings were erected to house horses and cattle, rather than embryo "eagles" and in- dispensable "groundlings." Skilful adaptations of Canadian National Ex- hibition structures have been made, but until an Air Force padre's vision and determination furnished the ini- pulse, no one imagined that a lovely Chapel could be created at the hub of this vast, crowded Depot, The vis- ion has become reality. Close to the main entrance stands a chapel whose appointments and atmosphere make it a poem in wood, a trysting-place between • man's spirit and the Spirit of Him who haunts and hallows com- mon life. Authorities consider this Airmen's Church" the best in the R.C.A.F. Who built this little Chapel of the Church Immortal? John Davidson's words give the true answer: "Love built this shrine; these hallow- ed walls uprose To give seclusion from the hurrying throng, From Tumult of the street, complaint and wrong, From rivalry and strife, from taint of foes," , Love of the Master of men who bade His followers seek a quiet place "a while" to renew and reinforce their souls for the tasks among crowds; love of the vast, ever-chang- ing parish to which the Senior Prot- estant Chaplain of the Depot minis- ters; love of the individual airman, in his need and longing—such love con- ceived this chapel. and directed its construction. Now it can be told—the padre's modesty disclaimers and the Air Force preference for anonymity notwithstanding! — Squadron Leader Charles C. Murray, Senior Protestant padre of the Depot, and minister of The United Church of Canada, ear- n vied out this "operation" with devo- 3' tion and despatch. True, his predec- Y essors had dreamed wistfully of some • such shrine, "airmen's own," easily a accessible and conducive to private ✓ worship and meditation.

To he sure, the chapel was 1 built by the Works and Buildings De- partment of the Depot, and the craftsmen were "under orders." But each workman did more than -was re- quired; is not the explanation of its artistry simply that every man on the project regarded the task as a labour of love Dr. Albert W. Palmer once said,."A church should look as if somebody loved it." This Chapel looks as If many loved it. I Study of the accompanying photo- ! graph gives a hint of its simple beau- ty.

In Taddition, several United Churches of oronto eagerly shared in the expl ansa of making the chapel complete and worthy of its high use. One con- gregation, ton example, sent inr mem- ory of their Session Clerk's lad who vanished into the Unseen on. Dawn Patrol last spring. Associated with. Squadron Leader 0, 0. Murray in ministering to the "congregation" of "M" Depot are Flight Lieutenants A. A, Maloney (Anglican) and A. Linton. (Baptist). Obviously, the Chapel does not provide accommodation for the large congregations assembled for Church' Parade Sunday by Sunday. .As the photograph will reveal, the Chapel's forty-six chair's could scarcely seat the choir, which is also a project of Padre Murray,. Birdmen can sing as well as fly! Corporal John Linn, In more prosaic days the choirmaster and organist of Trinity United Church, Toronto, dir- ects the choir which leads the -praises at every ehucll service held on the Station. Little wonder that the public worship of one thousand men lifts and liberates them, as on the wings of faith they rise into the Presence. Undenominational in character, available for Jew and Gentile alike, the Depot Chapel should remain a shrine and memorial long after the building which gives it sanctuary re- turns to its peace -time functions. When the guns are stilled, and our warriors lay away Clair accoutre- ments of battle , devout souls will make their praise that such a Quiet Room remains, symbol of man's un- dying quest and finding. "Amid the turmoil of the tempest's din When systems shook and nations rent in twain • Become a holocaust of fear and sin. , Lord, let us hear Thy still small voice again," Feeding And Care Of Poultry The wise poultry keeper is now planning his winter campaign in or- der to obtain the best production. Houses should be checked careful- ly for leaks and drafts. Drafts are particularly detrimental to heavy production and no flock of birds will lay heavily if litter becomes damp. The house should have plenty of light and means should be provided for adequate ventilation, says B . F. Tinney,. Dominion Experimental Farm. Thoroughly clean and disinfect premises and equipment. Remove equipment, then sweep ceilings and walls, floors, drop boards, after which scrub or spray with a hot sol- ution of lye. When dry, the ceilings and walls, roosts and drop boards, etc., should be given a coat of: lime wash. With the premises cleaned and ready, plan to house only vigorous, healthy pullets. Weakling stobk is a profitless proposition. Keeping the premises clean and sanitary at all times will tend to pre- vent outbreaks of parasites and di- sease, both of which are handicaps to economic production. For the best production, birds should receive adequate feed and the ration should be well balanced. High protein concentrates are somewhat difficult to procure and balancing a ration may now be a bit of a prob- lem. The following has been recom- mended as an "all farm" ration that has given satisfaction. Pats, wheat, barley in equal parts. Grind part of this and hopper - feed as a mash keeping it before the birds at all times. Use the same mat- erials as a scratch grain, feeding this more heavily in Iate afternoon or just before the birds go to roost. Keep dark green, good quality alf- alfa or clover hay in racks where the birds can reach it. Alfalfa is pre- ferable, if available, and if the hay is soaked in small lots, (seven to ten pounds per one hundred hens per day), it is surprising the amount they wilt eat. With this ration skim milk or buttermilk only should be ; used as drink, This will require about one gallon per day for each 25 to 30 birds. Milk must be used to supply necessary protein and if wa- ter is given the birds will not con- sume sufficient milk. Shell and grit must also be supp- lied. Cull frequently and dispose of the free boarder and unprofitable birds. BRODHAGEN ,lir. and Mrs, Wm.

(Donald Cox) Such an invitation embodies the primary purpose of the chapel: which is prayer and meditation. But airmen marry, and airmen's families include babies whose baptism into the Name above every name means much to them as to other Christians. Thus the Chapel is frequently the scene of marriage services and baptismal rites. Mid -week devotional services are also held within its walls.

The numerous small organs which are formed, wherever contact is made with the host, force them- selves into the plant and suck its juice. As dodder secures its entire nourishment in this parasitic man- ner, it has no need for .leaves or green coloring matter. Soon the dod- der will grow into a tangled mass of orange coloured strands, often giv- ing a golden orange color to an in- fested patch. By this time, the slim connection to the earth will have dried up. In four to six week num- erous small white flower clusters ap- pear which later develop into seed bearing capsules. It is the dull brown to reddish irregularly oval-shaped seeds which constitute a serious me- nace for they are difficult to remove from small seeded farm crops and may live in the soil for twelve years or more. Dodder may be introduced on a farm in one or more of the following ways: in ungraded seed, clover and - alfalfa particularly; in soil on the feet of workers, on animals or farm implements which have been in con- tact with infested land. Animals fed on hay from infested land may spread the seeds by their manure. Any hay, straw, seed, screenings or manure from an infested farm may carry live dodder seeds. If you find dodder on your farm secure advice at once from the nearest Experimen- tal Farm or Agricultural Represen- tative, Investigations being conducted by the Division of Botany, Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa,- are prov- iding valuable information about this pest. In addition to field crops, dodder will grow on vegetables such as pot- atoes, peas, pepper, lettuce, onion, rhubarb, tomato and cabbage. Dod- der has been grown on petunias, geranium, nasturtium and marigold Wherever dodder is found care muse be taken that every bit is destroyed as it must not be allowed to produce seeds. Fire Prevenlioo Week The week of October 3-9 has been set aside by Royal Proclama- tion as Fire Prevention Week for the purpose of impressing upon the public consciousness the enormous waste of life and property oc- casioned by fire and the means to be taken to reduce this tragic and unnecessary wastage. When it is considered that Canada's loss by fire in 1942 was 304 lives and oyer $31,000,000 property damage, it is easily apparent that something must be done about it. Fire is a disease that annually saps our national -wealth and every citizen should resolve to do his bit to wipe out this menace to our happiness and prosperity. Every citizen can be a soldier in this campaign by simply being careful with fire, by disciplining himself in his smoking babts, by seeing that every lire hazard in his hone, store or factory is removed and by knowing what to do should a fire start. Our soldiers, sailors and airmen are batling a grim enemy on far -away fronts. Let us battle that other enemy — the Fire Demon — on the "Home Front." We too can help to win the war by preventing fires. Every fire is small in its incipiency but it might easily reach the proportions of a conflagration. Our duty is to see that a fire does not start, This week, in the press, over the radio, in theatres and from the platform John Q. Citizen will be exhorted to use every care with lire, not only during Fire Prevention Week but every week in the year. It would be well for hint to take this advice to heart and to make Canada a fire -safe country in which to live. We need only to call to mind two holocausts which have occurred during the past year in order to show the tragedy which can follow in the wake of fire. These are the Cocoanut Grove Night Club lire in Boston in which 491 people lost their lives, and the hostel Are in St, John's, Newfoundland, in which 99 lives were snuffed out, WE CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL WITH FIRE, Prevent Fires THESE SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS, IF FOLLOWED BY EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY, WILL MAKE YOU,R HOME SAFE FROM FIRE 1—Put lighted matches and smokes out before you throw them away, Keep matches where small children cannot reach them. Never smoke in the garage, barn or attic, nor in bed, 2 -Remove rubbish, waste papers and all unnecessary combustible materials, Provide metal ash and trash can. Burn rubbish only on a safely covered brick or metal incinerator. Watch the fire. 3—Examine all stoves, furnaces and smoke pipes to make sure they are safe and well away from woodwork or other burnable mat- erials. Have needed repairs made at once, 4—Value the advice of your fire chief who says that many fires are caused by dirty or defective chimneys. Have the chimneys cleaned regularly, and have all defects repaired, 5—Escape the danger of inflammable liquid flies and explosions by keeping no gasoline in the house, Do dry cleaning with safe liquids or send the work to the cleaner. Never start fires with kerosene, 6—Notify the electric company of electrical trouble and the gas company of gas leaks, Replace "blown" fuses with new ones — not pesinies. Avoid hone -made wiring jobs. Don'tloop for gas leaks with a match, 7—Teach everyone in the faintly to be careful of fire, to watch stoves, fireplaces, electric irons and all other possible fire causes, and every clay to remove old rags, papers and other rubbish, 8—Fireproof your home as far as possible by fire -safe roofing, fire stopping in hollow walls and partitions to stop the spread of flame,. and a noir-combustible basement ceiling, 9 --Inquire of your lire chief, w11,e11 buying a fire extinguishes' to be sure of getting the right kind, Don't hesitate to asst your fireman Whenever you have questions on lire prevention, 10—Remember always where the nearest lire alarm box is and how to send in an alarm.
