SALADA TEA COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED HRONICLE5 °IGlNGERFARM Ontario is facing a crisis. How it is met depends upon you and me ... and the rest of the people. t am referring to the hydro short- age. Yes, a lot depends "upon the zest of the people" and of course on the Hydro Commission itself, but still if each one of us would stop worrying about what the other fellow is doing and concentrate on ways and means of saving power in our own homes a lot Iess kilowatt hours would be used as a result. It is so easy to say—"Why should I bother to use less power when So- and-So's house is all lit up like a Christmas tree?" And supposing it it—does that give us the right to he equally ignorant and inconsider- lite? As my niece aptly remarked the other day—"Hydro is one thing You can't hoard -to have it you 'must save it," * * We are continually being resuind- ed by press and radio to save pow- sr—use no more lights than are necessary; turn the switch when -the kettle starts to sing; be saving pith heaters; and so on. That's fine ut I think the habits of our own espective families night be 'stud - Sed to good purpose. I know that is So here. For instance, until every- one is in bed we always keep a light burning in the hall. As a safe- ty measure we still do but the now. have a 10 -watt bulb instead of a 40, and for the bracket light in the dining -room a 7/ watt bulb. The main cellar light has always been a big waster. The switch is at the top of the stairs. Someone comes up from the cellar, forgets to switch off the light, and because it is na- tural to close the cellar door the ilght is shut off and there is noth- ing to give any warning that the bIwtch has been left on. So we got usy. We rigged up a plug-in light, with a tiny bulb that hooks up on the outside of the cellar door. Since it is plainly visible through the glass pane! of the dining room door we always see it and act accordingly, if by any chance the light should be left on. 4, y * Then in our little sitting -room Partner has a 60 -watt bulb in the reading lamp by his couch. That's fine—for reading! But most eve- nings Partner will drop off to sleep —and who needs a 60 -watt light to sleep by? So, unless I atm using the lamp at the far end of the room, I switch off the bright light and turn on a 1S -watt wall lamp specially in- stalled for that purpose. And what about the radio? Where is the family who cannot find some way of using it a little less? How often is the'.radio turned on and then forgotten, with announcers telling an empty house how to get rid of acid indigestion or the kind of soap to use to make the whitest wash? * * + And then there are stoves . cool days are with us once again and it shouldn't be any great hard- ship to go back to the old cook - stove to do our baking. Hydro is such a precious thing and those of us who did without It for so many years, know only to well how much it contributes to the joy and comfort of everyday life. Shouldn't we then be the first to try to con- serve it? Not just for ourselves, but for industry. Shortage of Power could have far reaching results. It could throw thousands out of work and seriously upset our industrial machinery. Someone may have slip- ped up on the job but there is little use at this time to berate the gov- ernment or the H,E,P,C, for any inconvenience we may suffer. We were given fair warning a shortage might occur—a shortage that has been further aggravated by the late summer drought — and that was something no one could prevent. Canada depends so much upon her natural resources — water to generate electricity; statural gas in many parts of the country; oil for so many prposcs; and it looks as if our use of these resources is out- stripping the supply. It is some- thing to remember—and we might also think twice before'we criticize. For instance someone turned in a complaint because a big business pace was ablaze with light and was told that in this particular instance the company had its own generat- ing plant. Excuse me a Minute—Partner is calling. Oh -oh . . . is my face redl Partner was wanting to, know why the back'cellar light had been left burning. And I was the culprits See what I mean? If we each make a habit of checking up on the rest of the family surely a lot of power could be saved. CROSSWORD 3. 0.Cbargi 0. off t. Sundry 2, Mineral PUZZLE 10.

Barclay Warren History in the Old Testament 1 Icings 4:21-29; 11:16, 9-11. Golden Text:—Blessed is the na- tion whose God is the Lord,— Paslin 33.12. A large portion of the Old Test- ament is history. It relates in de- tail the story of Israel, the chosen race. A few years ago a traveller was going from Egypt to Palestine. He went to a book seller to secure a guide book which would enable him to identify the historic land- marks in the country over which he was to travel. The book seller frank- ly rankly told him that if he would study the book of Exodus, and related passages, it would be as dependable a guide as .he could find. Further- more, almost eyery year fresh evi- dence is uncovered confirming the accuracy of the Old Testament His- tory. The lesson gives us a picture of the Kingdom of Israel when its prosperity and grandeur was great- est. Soloman ruled in peace for forty years. It was the golden age. It was not the forced prosperity occasioned by war, but a prosperity made possible by peace. The Queen of Sheba after visiting the kingdom and viewing its glory exclaimed to Solomon, "The half was not told me." But despite Solomon's wisdom he made a great error. "Ile loved many strange women .. , he had Seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. He joined with his wives in their idola- trous worship. Because of Sol- omon's sin God said to him, "I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to Illy ser- vant," To be in the kingdom of God is better than to rule king- doms of the world. In the Shade of the Old Dinosaur—Joyce Cleugh and. Adess Sheridan are amused and amazed by the colossal proportions of a life-size dinosaur made of cement in the Calgary, Canada, Zoological Park. More than 30 dinosaur skeletons have been fond on the banks of the Red Deer River near Drumheller, Alberta, since 1912. Averaging 70 tons in weight, the dinosaurs flourished more than 90,000,000 years ago.
