It looks like a good romp in the snow on the other side, but bars make awfully tough eating. CHRONICLES of GANGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke' a a a a �1. 'Come wind, come weather" I sti i have a feeling that spring is hiding somewhere just around the corner. I think that, because; in Otte of the snow covered ground, the birds, who are wiser than we are, are acting quite differentia, these days. They chatter ,away among themselves and show a lot more activity than they did a month ago. There is a little white -breasted nuthatch_ on the front lawn interests me tremendously. He is a happy little fellow. Some- times he perches on the window- sill for a second or two, takes a peek through the window and then away he goes again. Next time I see him he is hunting a meal from the bark of the popular tree. The tree is quite close to the house so, by keeping well back from the window, I can watch the antics of the nuthatch. without his being aware of it. 5:4* Aud of course there are plenty of sparrows and an odd starling or two — and I like -to watch them too. The starlings seeps to be gathering up testing material. It seems a little early for that but then maybe they have heard of the acute housing shortage and it may be that they think that even the birds of the air should take some thought for the morrow. Yes, Mrs, Starling; it might be a good idea to look around because, if you should fly down to the road, you will find that the mailbox in which you so persistently took up living quarters last year has been removed. A bigger and better box has been installed instead, and one to which you, Airs. Star- ling, will find it impossible to get into. It would stem the horsesand other livestock have also a feeling of spring. The cows and heifers arc gambolling about in the sun like young things. Yes, even nineteen -year-old Cicely was kick- ing up her heels this morning. And then, when I Sat down to write just now, I looked across the front field and there was our neighbour's three year old colt leading its owner a merry chase across our field. I watched to se_ what would happen and it wasn't long before the colt took the tende like a hunter. 'Well, ,maybe not quite litre a hun- ter because he. muss have touched the top wire, as I notice one fence- post is leaning towards the lane at a drunken angle. ,: *, 5 The squirrels have been having quite a time tor. The other day when there was so much fresh, soft snow, I thought I saw some- thing dark moving in the snow- you know how • you sort of see things out of the corner of your eye—and then I looked again and saw nothing, But I kept watching and presently out of the deep snow jumped a little blacksquirrel. TITO TODAY Rarely photographed Marshal Josip ("Tito") Broz, Yugoslav Partisan guerrilla leader, is shown • above in his latest picture. And did he eves have a time get- ting where he wanted to go. We, too, have been having a time getting where we wanted to go— and there were times when we were not so successful as the squirrel. Nearly every afternoon Partner would hitch the team. to the car and we would open -up the lane that way ready for the morning. And then in the night the wind woule blow—or there would cone moresnow—and our newly made track would be all filled in again, Finally Dame Nature relented and gave us a partial thaw, so now, with reason- able carc, we can get in and out with out too much trouble. Fall Fairs Restored To' Original Purpose Speaking at the annual conven- tion of the Class "B" Fairs As- sociation in Toronto, ' Dr. G. I, • Christie, president of the O.A.C., Guelph, emphasized the necessity of keeping Fall fairs active dur- ing uring the war. It would have been a great calamity to ' discontinue these fairs", said Dr. Christie. "The people wanted them, the war ef- fort needed therm and war pro- duction has increased because of them," Dr. Christie expressed the view that wartime conditions have pro- duced a great naprovement in these fairs from an agricultural standpoint and have restored then to their original purpose. He also referred to the effect of rural fairs oss the improvement of live stock and particularly to the growing interest of farm youth in then. He hoped the Canadian National Exhibition, the Royal Winter Fair, Ottawa Exhibition, and other large sho'w's would be resumed as soon as PPS- esble because then were heeled. In his address, Dr. Christie em- &mtu d the prae i • e of show herds travelling all over the province winning the print's at every fair, and urged the fair di- rectors to concentrate on bring- ing out the best live stock in their own neighborhoods.

SUiNDAY SCHOOL LESSON MARCH 12 JESUS BETRAYED, DENIED AND CONDEMNED Mark 14:10-15: 20 PRINTED TEXT, Mark 14: 10, 11, 53, 54, 80-92; 15: 12-15 GOLDEN TEXT — He was despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. Isaiah 53: 3 MEMORY VERSE: 1 love thee, O Jehovah. Psalm 18: 1. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time, — Judas entered into a covenant with the chief priests .on Tuesday,. April 4, A.D. 80. The remaining events took place on Thursday evening, and early Fri- day morning, April 0 and 7, A.D. 30. Place, — The Lord's Supper was observed in an upper room in the house of an unknown person in Jerusalem; the Garden of Geth- semane was on the lower -part of the -western slope of the Mount of Olives, directly oppposite the city of Jerusalem. The trial before the Jewish authorities was held in the building where the Sanhedrin met, though what building this was we do not know. The trial before Pontius Pilate was held in the palace of the Governor in the city of Jerusalem, Judas, The Betrayer "And Judas Iscariot, lie that was ,one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver hint unto them, And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give hint money. And he sought how Ise might con- venieetly deliver him unto them." Observe the awful wickedness of the traitor. It is no sudden temp- tation under which he falls. He deliberately seeks the opportunity first of selling, and then of betray- ing 1=l15 Master. This is the . crowning act of a course of -cove- tousness and dishonesty, Plans Are Made "And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come to- gether with hies all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire," How carefully - everything was planned! Although it is night the Jewish council is already assembled waiting to receive their prisoner. The object of the meeting was to find legal ground for putting Jesus to death and justify them before the law. .A Peter's Dental of Christ 'And as Peter was beneath in the court and when he thought thereon, he wept" While Peter warms himself, he is sudden- ty challenged by tlse maid as being a disciple of Jesus. Peter disowns all knowledge of the Nazarene, all coasciousuess even of what the .charge meant. Then Peter heard - the cork crow, but it did not suc- ced in touching his tt^.art. Another maid accused him, and then a third. Peter's second denial was uttered with an oath; he blasphemed taking the name of God in vain From a deceitful evasive answer the apostle goes on to denial with an oaths, and then to cursing and swearing Peter loved time Lord, but in this hour fear dominated; love was put aside. When the cock crew twice, the warning of Jesus, the love. and compassion of his Lord, came flooding into his heart. The Lord has been beaten; Peter Isad not been touched. The Lord had been betrayed; Peter was safe. He realized that he was en unworthy follower of the Master and, with a broken heart, went out weeping.

And they cried out again, Crucify hint. And Pilate said unto them, why, what evil hath he done? Put they cried out exceedingly, Crucify hint" To ash: the accusing party what should be done to Christ was a grave injustice to Him. Pilate was deciding agai.,st Christ when he tried to threes the responsibility on others. Having appealed in vain to their •:.ercy he now appeals to their justice. But equally in vain They only cried out more for j'sis death. We find from John's gospel (10:1.) that the Jews threa- tened Pilate with the Emperor's displeasure if he let Jesus go.
