many things, among then, being the
famous combination of Baked
Beans and Boston Brown Bread.
But you don't. need to visit the
Massachusetts capital in order to
enjoy it by any means. -If you're
like most housewives; you probate',
have your own special method of
baking, beans, but it may be that
you've never tried the bread.
If you do give it a try -out, I'm
pretty sure it will only be the first
of many. So here's how yon go

British Industries
Fair A Big Event
To those who art planning to
visit the British Isles this Spring—
wad there are many of them,—the
following information will no doubt
be of interest. It is supplied to us
by the Associated British and Irish
Railways Incorporated,
Advance information of the Bri-
tish Industries Fair which will be
]peld in London and Birmingham.
from May 2 to 13 indicates that, as
previously, no effect will be spared
M ensuring the comfort and con-
venience of visitors, particularly
those from abroad.
In the case of those visitors front
abroad who normally require visas,
these will be issued free if the ap-
plicant requires the visa in connec-
tion with a vis, to the Fair, and
visas for wivs and children under
18 yars of age are also included in
phis arrangement. Application
should be made to any British Coun-
sular Offieer.
In London, both Earls Court and
Olympia are adjacent to railway ste-
,dons; for Earls Court, tickets are
booked to either Earls ;Court or
West Brompton, and for Olympia to
Kensington, (Olympia), Although
Earls Court and Olympia are very
close together, a free motor coach
service will be provided between the
two buildings, and journeys by this
means will tale less than three min-
utes.
At Birmingham there will be
the special railway station for the
Pair at Castle Bromwick, and every
day express trains will run between
London (Euston) and Birmingham
(Castle BromwickJ specially for vis-
itors to the Fair. This route will

ham (Snow Hill Station) and take
a special bus to the Fair. During the
busiest parts of the day special trai f
• will also run` between Birmingham
(New Street Station) and Castle
roinivick every few minutes.
With memories of the Olympics,
ft is hardly necessary to strbas that
hotel and travel accommodation
should be reserved as earty as pos-
nbfle, and in tins connection the
Birmingham Chamber of Commerce
bus appointed a special Office to
ald visitors in obtaining accommo-
dation. Enquiries should be addres-
and to the Aeconunodation Officer,
Birmingham Chamber of Commerce,

So the ground -hog crawled back
in his hole! And why not—it is
surely too early for the ground -hog
or us to be thinking seriously of
spring, We have hardly had any
winter yet. Personally I ant dis-
mayed at the way the year is speed-
ing on. We always think of winter
as being such a good time for get-
ting things done that have been left
until "we have more time". But
here we are into February, and just
a -wondering where the time has
gone. No one can settle toianything
before Christmas—and after Christ-
mas we have to sort of adjust our-
selves again to ordinary, everyday
living, Then we run into January,
February and March — and sud-
denly it's spring. No wonder we
say "Where has the time gone-"
Cotnc to think of it, time is
actually an unknown quantity, isn't
it- Or at least, it is a relative
quantity. No one can tell before-
hand how much' of it he or she will
have. When we put off things "une,
til we have more time" what assur-
ance have we that There will be more
time later on? We might have even
less—a great deal less.
.And then, too, I suppose most of
as confuse time with Leisure. " We
all have the same amount of time—
sixty minutes in every hour, twenty-
four hours in every day—but we
don't all have the same amount of
leisure, do we? Leisure depends
mainly upon how we arrange our
time, if you get what I mean.
Then again, what is leisure? The
dictionary defines it as "spare time; •
freedom from pressints business."
The trick is h. arrange our "pressing
business" so that we manage to get
a little leisure. Sometimes one has
to fit one job in with anoltl'ier.
I remember several years ago
there was an officers' rally—I think
it was in connection with the W.I.—
,or it may have been the I.O.)i.E.—I
really forget. Anyway, the speaker
gave us quite a lecture on how to
conduct ourselves at a meeting. She
said it was extremely discourteous
to knit while a meeting was in pro-
gress—that when we attend a meet-
ing we should go prepared to give
both the business and the program
our undivided attention. Of course
1 was caught napping—or maybe I
should say "knitting."
1 wonder what other club woman
think about the matter. Wouldn't it
make rather a good debate, or dis-
mission topic, for some of your
meetings? It would be nice to know
the reaction of the other members
of your various organizations,
would'nt it? Especially the of-
ficers. If I .thought my knit-
ting embarrassed a chairman or
speaker I certainly wouldn't want
to do it at all. — But f can't see
why it should. Any time I have
taken charge of a meeting I have
been only too glad to see members
with a bit of work in their hands. It
meant they couldn't have their
eyes on me all the„tini.el Hardly
any meeting takes less than two
hours—and think of the work even
twenty women could get done in-
side of two hours,

During my day I have done quite
a bit of reporting—especially coun-
ty council meetings—and I can't
think of any better place for wast-
ing time. Early -comers wait for
late -comers; two-thirds of the coun-
cil will often wait while the other
third is in committee and all of
them fry to keep awake and to look
intelligent while by-laws are given
the necessary readings, The wast -
e4 time used to bother ate, espec-
ially during the war. I used to
think what a goad thing it would
be if men should learn to use their
spare time in knitting. And would-
n't they
ould-n'tthey look cute- I wonder what
they would do with their cigars.
Fitting in very nicely with this
matter of "time" and "leisure" here
is a little verse I found among any
clippings the other day by Amos R.
Wells. It goes right to the heart
of the problem far people who
"haven't time" , . , and' supplies the
atlswer.
"1 stn resolved
To do less, that I may do more,
Less of the things that do not
count,
That I may do more of the things
that count."
Good Railways Need
.Adequate Returns
"Canadian railways have conte
through various tests of their basic
efficiency and tlfeir resiliency," said
Alistair Fraser, vice-president, traf-
fic, Canadian National Railways, in
replying to n toast to the railways,
at the 41st aunua dinner of the
Canadian Raihvay Club, held quite
recently, "Their experience has been
ripened; their technique improved; '
their equipment modernized. They
stand at the highest point with re-
spect of men, material and methods.
Their health is good," he said.
"The railways cannot maintain'
their good health," he continued,
"if inadequately nourished, just as
the finest athlete could not carry
on a hunger fast. indefinitely. Nor
could he maintain himself, even in
fairly good health, if undernourished,
and so it is withethe railways. They
need a high level ' of traffic and
,adequate revenues for handling it.

Parables of Jesus
Mark 4:1-9; Luke 15: 11-14
Golden Text — Be not deceived;
God is not mocked; for whatsoever
a man sowed), that shall he also
reap. -Cat 6: 7.
Who doesn't like a ,story? Even
my four-year-old daughter has be-
gun to ask for "a story". Jesus ex-
celled all others in the art of present-
ing simple incidents from everyday
life in such a way that they portray-
ed great and eternal truths.
The parables of Jesus were many
and varied. He began with parables
of the Kingdom. Some of the word
that is sown is snatched away by
Satan. Some receive the word but
superficially and fail in the hour of
trial. In others the love of pleasure
and the deceitfulness of riches choke
the word. But some produce a har-
vest unto life eternal. Other par-
ables depict the value of the king-
dom; still others its struggles but
its ultimate triumph. In His last
teaching through the story of the
virgins, the talents, the dividing of
the sheep and the goats, He sets
forth the coming j'dgment.
In the story of the prodigal son'
is presented the heart of the gospel.
The prodigal is typical of many
present day youth. They are out
for "a good time". Drunkenness
and fornication are alarmingly com-
mon. Finally when all the thrills

when the father sees him afar off
and rims to meet him. Then follows
a time of rejoicing, :In the open

A teen-ager excusing himself for

by Divine grace surrenders and
dedicates his life to the will of God
has "a good time". He reaps a
harvest of life everlasting.
