RADIO REPORT • overseas where he has been gath- ering new material for the series, * By IAL LEARY Looking at the picture of Liola Albanese, star of "The Treasure Hour of Song", heard every Thursday 9,30-10.00 p.m. EWY, * * N Liola Albanese * * y over :Mutual and CKCL, Toronto, brings to mind the fact that ra- dio's people have found a new out- let for their dramatic ability be- cause of the war, Radio drama has increased to a large pet -cent since the war broke out, Canadian radio has made outstanding contribu- tions to the war effort in the dra- matic field, and possibly the larg- est of these- radio dramas is the transcribed series._ "The Army Speaks". It started from a very small be- ginning; early in the war Mr. Henry S. Goodcrbam, President of radio station CKCL,_was approach- ed by Military District No. 2 to see what aid this radio station could give in, assisting in obtain - Ing recruits for the Array. "The Army Speaks" series was conceived and the station's mobile crew went to Camp Borden and cut ac- teal scenes of army training to he used as sound effects, The program started originally on five stations. It was an instant success and Na- tional 1)efence ITeadquarters in Ottawa decided the series could be used with advantage across the country, with the result that Cap - tarn, now Major Diespecker, Radio Liasion Officer for the Aruty, took over production of the pro- gram. This year the program is being heard over fifty stations in Canada and while it's still produced in the studios of CKCL, it now has a nation wide audience. You can probably find it in the listing of, your favourite radia station un- der its original title of "The Army Speaks." :ft's carried by CKCL Wednesday at 8,30 p.nt. Major Diespecicer has, just returued from Canadian radio stations have also on occasion been requested by the United States Government to do production on some of their war effort programs, When the Dionne quintuplets appeared at Ivfaple Leaf Gardens in aid of the third War Loan, they were picked up and broadcast to the United States network. The United States Treasury weekly show, "T h e Bond Wagon", did a pick-up from Little Norway on the occasion of the preview of John •Steinbeck's "The Moon Is Down". Sir Cedric and Lady Hardwicke - came from New -York to play the lead in a drama that was produced depicting exploits of the Norwegians, in which the actual characters de- picted were played by the heroes themselves. This particular drama created quite a sensation in the United States and as a result radio station CKCL which did production and the pick-up received a citation from the United States Govern- ment "for distinguished service to the United States war effort." * * * Regular listeners to "Soldier's Wife" will be glad to hear that the program contract has been renewed for another twenty-six. weeks, It will continue to be heard over the Canadian ' Broadcasting Corpor- ation network including CKCL from 11.30-11.45 am, Monday through Friday. Bob Hope, v;hn is a favou:ed comedian of tl:e 'United States Army, pulled one of radio's classic boners on a recent program.. Broad- casting from a United States Army camp, he finished :tie broadcast, thought that he was off the air, turned around to the audience and said, "well, that was it, didn't it stink", thereby, creating such a coast to coast laugh that the net- work announcers were hardly able to sign the program off, SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON March 5 • JESUS URCET"' H'IS DIS- CIPLES -TO'WATCH Mark 13:1-37. PRINTED TEXT—Mark 12: 3- 10, 31-37, GOLDEN TEXT, — Watch therefore; for ye know not when the lord of the 'house cometh, Mark 13:35 Memory Verse: We , are help- ers. 2 Corinthians 1:24. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—Tuesday of Passion -t, Leek, April 4, A.D. 30, Place—The ?iTouiit of Olives, directly east of, and opposite to, the city of Jerusalem. Questions Asked of Jesus "And as be sat on the Mount of Olives over against the temple, Pe- ter and Tames and 'John and An- drew asked hie) privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accom- plished"" Their question divides itself into three parts. (1v When shall the destruction of the temple take place? (2) What shall be the sign of thy coming?. (31 What shall be the sign of the end of the world? Christ's First Warning "And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. Many shall conte in my name, saying, I ant he; and shall lead many astray". The first ut- terance of Christ is a warning, a warning against deception, and a deception of the worst kind, per- taining, to false religions leaders who will come in the name of Christ to deceive many, "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors or wars, be not troub- led: these things trust needs cone to pass; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines; -these things are the beginning of tra- vail." Our Lord emphasizes first wars among teen, then earthquakes, then famines and then distress, Most of ail He seems to emphasize the multiplication of military conflicts. Three will be wors of nationalities. One nation shall rise in its anger to copse down upon another. King- doms wilt rise up to put down kingdoms. How tree this has been in our age. As one kingdom is put down, so another rises in strength tilt that in due time is overcome, But He bids His disciples not to be troubled, and His words also apply to believers to -day. Such condi- tions were only the natural course of things—things that in tile Divine purpose have to cone. Christ's Second Warning "But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, far a testimony unto them," Christ's first warning was against deception and error in regard to the approach of the end.

For weeks I had been longing to see "Lassie Come Horne". Now it was here— hat alas, so was the worst storm of the winter, Frankly I was dubious about going, out at all It was so cold, and the lane looked as if it tnigiit fill in any time. How- ever Partner assured use the snow was too light to give any trouble. Finally I decided to try my luck. I got through the lane all right, failure in view of what will happen to the disciples personally, and within the Christian counnunity. They would first be persecuted by the Jews, beaten in their syna- gogues, and then later, as Chris- tianity manifested increasing power, they would be persecuted by the gaveruters of the provinces and the Emperor of Rohe himself. The Divine Purpose "And the gospel Innet first be - eaclted unto all natione." The Gospel must be preached titrough- cest the world as a preparation for the end. This is in the Divine pur- pose. The Gospel has a world-wide • destiny, and until that destiny is fulfilled. the 'end' will not be. Christ's Third Warning "Heaven and earth _shall pass away...And what I say unto you I say unto all, watch." No one knows when Chriet will return, hien-who set dates for the - end of this age and for the day of our Lord's return are assuming to have. wisdom be- yond the wisdom of Jesus, Here we have Christ's third warning. The first against de- ception: the second against spirit- ual failure: the third against neg- ligence. It ie the will of God that His people should always live in readiness for the coming of the Lord. The Saviour realized His words were not for the Apostles alone. He twaa speaking, through them, to the people of every gen- eration and age.

As you pro- bahly know it is about a boy and his dog, There isn't much that one can add to that. The under- lying pathos in the story is more in the things it doesn't tell than what it does, The little boy's mother sometimes appears hat d and unfeeling.

Yes, I even thought that when I came lunate and found myself snowed out. The wind had changed The road was all right, but oh dear, our lane , .. Ten feet up the drive and I was hopelessly stuck. I knew shovelling was hopeless. There was only one thing for it— the team. * * * But Partner was at the barn. 1'o go after him meant facing the gale and wading through deep snow. I quailed at the thought. Happily' a neighbour calve along and offered to get Partner for me. I accepted the offer with alacrity. But it takes some time to harness a team and by the time Partner came to the rescue I was half frozen. However, horse power added to motor power soon made the grade—and it felt nighty good to be back in the house again. That night the news spoke of Allied forces in Italy being hampered by gales and blizzards. I felt ashamed to • think the dis- tance from the road to the house had seemed snore than I could tackle.
