According to the makers, the/waste of gasoline in the average motor car can be eliminated automatically by the new airflow carburetor needle. The av- erage motorist drives a large,por- tion of his mileage at inefficient idling speeds—constantly starting and stopping, waiting for traffic signals, slowing down for other ears. What the needle will do is adjust the motorist's gasoline mix- ture every time he comes to a stop. In actual tests an average increased mileage of two miles per gallon was reported.

OSCAR, AW NOMINEES INGRID BERGMAN 'Joan of Arc' OLIVIA DE HAVILAND 'The Snake Pit' SIR LAURENCE OLIVIER 'Hamlet' CLIFTON WEBB 'Sitting Pretty' 1 HRONICL GINGE:meA� a.he Partner called ,me outside this morning. "Do you hear what I hear?" he asked. I listened . , . a crow . and then more crows! There they were, away off in the bush, talking to each other; asking each other—"Can this be spring?" And why not—the sun was bright and warm, there was hardly a trace of snow anywhere, and there was no wind, other than a gentle breeze. Yes, more. than the crows were asking—"Can this be spring?" Personally, I am completely be- wildered; it seems far too early for spring—and yet, surely too late for winter. But that, I know, applies only to this district. More than likely some of you people who read this column have winter all around you. And you maybe the better off in the long run. None of the farmers around here are too happy about the bare fields. * * . Olt my, what a lot of things we San find to worry about these days —if we are the worrying kind. And even if we are not there is at least a a sense of uneasiness nagging at our subconscious. We would like to know the answer to so many things. What will be the outcome of the North Atlantic pact? Is there an- other depression on the way? Will it be profitable to raise chickens this year—or shall we be left hold- ing the bag? Are prices really on a downward trend? And what is the overall outlook for farming? Yes, those and a dozen other questions are quite enough to keep us awake at night—if we let then. But what good would it do? Certainly we need to take an intelligent interest in world affairs. But worry defeats its own ends by making us less able to deal with any problems which come our way, and which may well be the outcome of greater' problems affecting our country as a whole. * * * You know, there are times when I go over this column and.say to myself—"My goodness, -folks will think we don't know about any- thing beyond our hundred acres!" But let me assure you, we do have a few ideas over and above what concerns our cows, - our dogs and our cats. But- I feel that you know as much, and probably more, about anything that- happens that is of national importance; but you doll't know, unless I tell you, of the crazy things our Honey does, or the time I have keeping our three animals from half killing each other. If the telling amuses you for awhile, that's fine. But if I bore you to tears just let me know and we will see what can be done about it. Or if you have ideas as to how this column can be improved I shall be glad to hear andconsider yotlr suggestions. Speaking again of problems , , , early the other morning I was sure I had swallowed a pin—an ordinary, straight pin. Naturally I was in quite a dither about it. However, 1 consoled myself with the thought that when I swallowed it the blunt end went first! If only h stayed straight maybe it wouldn't do any harm, I thought. And then, still worrying, I suddenly came to my senses—"Why, I didn't swallow that pin ... I didn't swallow any- thing. I've been dreaming . here I am, still in bed—I couldn't have swallowed a pin!" And sure enough, it was a dream—a dream so real- istic that I had quite a time to con- vince myself that such an accident hadn't really happened. But oh dear, how glad I was to discover it wasn't true. Now there's a chance for dream fans—tell me, what did my dream foretell? Maybe I had been working too hard with ri•1y crochet hook and sort of got things mixed up. You see I ant about three parts through with making a tablecloth. When it Is finished it will consist of 1400 cro- cheted squares. Each square in it- self is about two inche9 square and takes about 12 to 15 minutes to make. Partner and I amused our- selves the other day by figuring out what the value of- the cloth would be when finished, on the basis of n eight-hour day at $5 a day which you will agree is hardly trade union pay. We figured it out at $225, not counting the cost of the thread, which I have lost track of. And yet, If I wanted to sell that cloth—which I don't—I suppose $100 would be considered an outrageous price to ask. Truly the work of one's hands is seldom appraised Lt its true value. But in this case I have the satisfac- tion of knowing that Daughter will probably treasure my tablecloth as an heirloom ... when I get through with it! a N C 0 L ESSON Ey Rev. R. Barclay Warren SPECIAL TRAINING OF THE TWELVE Mark 8:30-32; Luke 11; I-4, 9-13. Bolden Text:- For every one that asked' receiveth; and he that seek- ath flndeth; and to him that knock- eth it shall be openeds. Luke 11:10, No group of men ever received as good training for the work of the ministry as did the twelve. It is admitted that judged by present day seminary standards they had low • "entrance credits." They came from ordinary walks of life as fishing and tax collecting. But they had the world's greatest teacher. He spake as never man spake. • FIe, Jesus Christ, excelled as a counsellor. The twelve returned tri- umphantly from a tour in which they had preached repentance, cast out devils and healed many sick. On their return they learned of the murderous action of the adulterous Herod in beheading John the Bap- tist. It was an appropriate time for Jesus to take the group away from the throngs which gave him no leisure, even for eating. What counsel and comfort the group must have received from the master as they moved across the lake. The holiday was short, for a crowd had gone about the lake and were wait- ing with their sick. The compas- sion of Jesus was such that he for- got his intended rest and ministered. But in this, too, he was training his disciples. - Jesus. by example and precept, taught the twelve the meaning and value of prayer. He held commun- ion with the Father. His praying was not irksome but it was so at- tractive ttractive that they said on one occasion when He had finished, "Lord, teach us to pray." The promises with respect to prayer are either true or false, They are not false for history tells of Many who have proved them true, If they are true for some they are true for all who will test them, Every great religious awakening has been preceded and accompanied by much praying. Would to God that the prayer life of our nation would deepen. The tyranny that is sweeping the old world might be averted. Our social ills would be healed if Canadians would humbly and earnestly seek God in prayer. Leet as pray. Answer To This Week's Puzzle A 2 3 ,5..,e j o U 6 1 & 1' fi.
