RABIC REPORTER AL LEARY I Possibly the largest daytime audience of any Canadian radio programs belongs to "They Tel Me" conducted by Claire Wallace. Claire in private life is just as charming and vivacious a personal- ity as she is on the radio; her chars: being only matched by her modesty, She was: the fi st.,.Can- adian woman to fly the At"fntie as a passenger. She has travelled extensively in Canada's north country, and is well liked by her colleagues in the broadcasting in- dustry. CLAIRE WALLACE * (* * Claire's a pretty smart girl, carte example being that some years ago befOrc the war, she and I were both assigned by our respective radio stations to cover the arrival of a lighter than airship in Toron- to. They landed at a flying field outside Toronto and made arrange- ments to take the visiting press and radio men up for a trial flight; Your columnist, who is in excess of 200 pounds, was among the six who won seats on the balloon for the first fiighi. Apparently too lunch weight was allowed aboard and .coming in over the fence the balloon tore off its tail assembly. Claire, who had drawn the second flight, was waiting. -6n the ground and when your commentator got off the balloon he gave Claire a bit of ribbing that due to the dam- age to the tail of the balloon, there would be no further flying that morning. That afternoon we were assigned to the Island airport to describe the arrival of the balloon at that point. It was supposed to be ar- riving with only the crew, but when it landed at the Island air- port a lone lady stepped from the balloon, you -guessed it. Cla'r'e had remained with the shin until it was fixed and had wangled herself a private ride the rest of the way into Toronto and, as a matter of fact, she wound up with the best story of all of is who had been WINGED VICTORY Bombs (boitom of photo) from this 'RAF plane form a symbolic "V -for -Victory" as they plunge toward enemy installations on the Rome -Pescara road in Italy. assigned to cover the balloon's ar- rival "They Tell Me" is sponsored by the National War Finance Corn- Mittee and is carried by every ra- dio station in Canada. It is heard over CKCL Mondays through Fri- days from 4.15-4.30 p.m, Claire has an intense personal interest in the war .inasmuch as her husband is serving with the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps on one of Canada's coasts, and her son is serving in the Navy. * * •* Frankie Sinatra, the current rave of the "bobby sock brigade", is in the doghouse according to Trade publications and reports costing out of Hollywood Frankie'a publicity ]las gone to his head and he is getting to be rather a diffi- cult young man to handle. The United States Army is going to ban Sinatra's broadcast discs, un- less the young fens who whinny and whine every time Frankie steps to the microphone shup •up. The Army feels that the fighting man wouldn't like this kind of nonsense. * * * Beside the National Hockey League games the largest sports. coverage in Canada arc those of the Gillette Boxing bouts. Bill Comm, whoworks with Don Dunphy, is one of New York's best known sports writera and sometimes we think that Contra's between rounds and other colour is much more interesting than Don Dunphy's blow by blow descrip- tion. No reflection on Dunphy, who does an excellent workman- like job, but he is still not well enough known to the majority of Canadian sports fans to rank with the top commentators in Canada, but Ise will one of these days. Gillette fights are carried on a coast to coast Canadian network and by CKCL most Friday nights at 10.00 P.M. EWT.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FEBRUARY_ 27 - JESUS PRESENTS HIMSELF SAYS THE MESSIAH • Mark 11:1-10, 1548, GOLDEN TEXT—Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou, the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? :And Jesus said, I am. Mark 14:G1-62; MEMORY VERSE We ... are helpers. 2 Corinthians 1:24. THE LESSON 1N ITS SETTING Tfine — The triumphal entry and the brief' visit to the temple took place on Sunday,. April 2, A.D. ao. The cursing of the fig tree occurred the next day, Mon- day. All the rest of the events rec- orded in this lesson occurred on Tuesday of that week. Place — The. triumphal entry at curred on the western slope of the Mount of Olives. The scenes in the temple; of course, occurred in the temple area. The rest of the events in this lesson occurred in' or very near to the city of Jeru- salem. Entry into Jerusalem Jerusalem . and straightway he Jerusalem . , . and straightaway he• will send hits back hither," The owner of the ass, as a faithful and dutiful servant of the Lord, would straightway comply with Christ's request. The true servant of Christ is ever ready and willing to do the Lord's will, "And they went away, 'and found a colt tied int the door without in the open street; and they loose him." It needed faith and courage on the part of the disciples to do their Lord's bidding, but they im- plicitly believed IIis word and acted upon it, Christ's Word Effective "And certain of them that stood there said Unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: And they let them go," The own- ers would be surprised to see the apostles loosing the colt but 'they let them go.' By that action they admitted the right of the Lord to have first claim upon their prop- erty. The disciples did not make tie any explanation of their own in loosing the colt. It was Christ's word they spoke, not their own, and they found it effective at once, Too often; we fail in Christian service because we give too much time to what others say, and too little to what Christ says. It is His word:that amen need; it is IIis word which alone is effective with men. The King of the Jews "And they bring the colt tanto Jesus, and cast on him their gar- ments; and he sat upon hint." The disciples cast their garments upon the colt, both as a saddle, and to render PIim royal homage. Christ mounted the colt that He might enter the Holy City as the •Icing of the Jews. "And many spread their gar- ments upon the way; and others branches, Which: they had cut from the fields." Many catching the enthusiasm of the moment, spread their garments, in place of tapes- try or webs of cloth, along the way where Jesus would pass. Oth- ers., took branches from palnn trees and strewed them in the way. From this act the day has received the popular name of Paban Sun- day. Hosanna in the Highest "And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hos- anna; Blessed is he, that cometh in the name of the Lord, Blessed kingdom m that c meth is the gc o o , the kingdom of our father David;,1los- anna in the highest" The people hail Hine joyfully as their prom- ised king. Our Saviour passes on, meek and grave. It is a scene of triumph, but He knows He is even now drawing nigh to Calvary. Cleansing of the Temple "And they cu i toJerusalem... 1 me for they feared him, for all the multitude astonished at bit t c wa s teachings." Mating cleared the market, e an to tench the s began ne people 1; p p who had assembled After chal- lenging their authority in the Tem- ple, and thus belittling them be- fore the people, the chief priests felt the time had come •for action. L the influence of Jesus of Na- zareth increased, their material in- t,.tests would suffer.

Vi✓aSU NICLES BY of GINGER FARM Gwendoline P, Clarke Signs of the times, That is what I thought as I went for the nail this $morning. You see in the little time that it took me to walk from the house to the road and back again, six planes went over my head, all in different directions. But never a car did I see at all Afore planes in the air than cars on the roach—isn't that something? I wonder how it will be after the war—I mean, will there be more planes and less cars, or more cars and less planes? Naturally planes 'will be in greater demand for commercial use but I suppose, unless they develop some kind of aerial "flivver" you and I will still be quite content to roll along on the road — and think ourselves mighty lucky at that, having pas- sed through a period of not being able to roll along just when we felt like it. * * * Recently I wondered whether our car was doomed o be laid up for the duration. You sec one day Partner and I were going to town and as we started Partner said I had better drive easy as I had a tire that looked as if it might blow out any time, (I have told you that Partner absolutely refuses to drive a car, haven't I?) That may have been good advise—it is bet- ter to be safe 'than sorry, especially where a car is concerned — but it certainly didn't add to my com- fort. I knew I should have tried my hick at getting a couple of new tires, hit what with one thing and another I had put it off. Now I was really driven to it. The ap- plication was sent away. And I waited, and waited, and waited' Each passing day increased my uneasiness, I heard rumors of applications being turned down; of government regulations being tigh- tened up -and I can tell you that shabby old '30 of ours began to look like a million dollars. And then after three weeks the permit carne through. 1 think when we get tires I shall trim them up with pine bows just to celebrate. * * * Did I hear someone say—"Oh yes, a farmer gets all the breaks. just let me try for new tires ane see how far I would get." Well, I can understand your viewpoint — it must seem pretty tough to you when you probably teel that a t.,tr just as necessary to you as to the farmer. Gut yet, you are get- ting along without it, aren't you? Whereas the farmer—well, a car is as necessary to him now as any of his field implements, 'fake our car for instance: it hardly ever gots to town without bringing back a hundred of bran, shorts, chop or laying -mash. It takes in eggs and chickens, grain to be them in the ivery place where they ruled was an uunpardorable offence •n U must bdestroyed-.1 .rd less he t came to this: eitherJ esus must die or their power be o ,erthron n. The l difficulty was, 1 -Low could they effect their end? They saw that the connnon people favored 1 -Lim, and were interested in 1•Iis teach- ing. This made them afraid to in- terfere with Hiint openly (coin - pare Mlc. 14:2), chopped, and sometimes it is pi ed high with Red Cross sewing, km it - ting and quilts. It takes people to and from the station; it gets repairs and does the weekly shopping. It goes to church and to meetings; it calls at every farm in the district whenever a Red Cross drive is on, and occassionally, yes, very oc- cassionally, it does take us to a S11011'. Oln yes, and once in while it goes to the city when shopping becomes a vital necessity. But never, since gas rationing, has it used up all the coupons to which it is entitled. \Ve apply for the lowest category on which we think we can manage—and then try to use less, * * When we have orders for boiling fowl it is my job to pick out birds that are not laying. Experts tell yoti that if you look for this and that you can always tell if a bird is laying or not. Well, if I follow all the rules and pick a bird that definitely shouldn't be laying I generally find—too late—that she was all set to lay eggs for the rest of her natural life. So now I ignore the experts. Instead I stand quietly inside' the pen and watch the biddies. What I watch for I can't tell you, but there is something about the look of a hen that tells me whether she is laying or not. Take that one yesterday— by all the rules she should have been laying, but I didn't think she looked as if she were. So Partner killed her—and she wasn't. Was I glad I was right! Second sight? Oh, I don't think so. Just hen - sight, I guess. Australia's new wheat crop is es- timated at 97,000,000 bushels com* pared with 136,000,001 a year ago.
