By GORDON L. SMITH
From practically any way you
look at it, gardening should prove
an excellent investeee1)t this year,
It is patriotic to grow more vege-
tables now, to put idle land to
use, and it is good, sound com-
monseese, too. Vegetables have
been getting more and more ex-
pensive in recent weeks and the
authorities hold out no hope of
bargains this Summer either.
Weatll(.'r was only partly to
blame for the scarcity* last Fall,
The main reason was the increas-
ed demand. In the last year,
Canada has added something like
a million workers to its army of
war employed, and still more
vrarkers are going to be added
in the months ahead, All these
'people are going to need extra
food, and fresh vegetables will
• play a big part in filling their
requirements.
And gardening offers another
advantage. It is one of the best
health tonics the doctor could
order. A. few hours out among
growing flowers and vegetables
will work wonders in restoring
sanity and balance during these
trying times of war,
No Shortages
The war has interfered with a
lot of things in Canada, and while
gardening is no exception, this
interference will be hardly noticed
by the average person who orders
flowers and vegetable seeds this
Siring. Before the war, a con-
siderable amount of the garden
seed used in Canada was import-
ed from Denmark, Holland and
Hungary. This is completely cut
off, of course, as well as practic-
ally all shipments from Great
Britain. To meet the usual de-
mand, however, supplies have
been developed in Canada and
also a wider range has been im-
ported from the United States.
Seedsmen report no serious short-
ages. There is likely to be a little
change in price but they suggest
ordering early, especially where a
wide range of varieties and types
are wanted.
Vegetables are the biggest
yielding crop one can grow. Not
only can most lines be grown
close together but with some
things like lettuce and carrots,
for instance, a second crop can
be harvested in a single season.
Small vegetables like lettuce,
spinach, carrots and radish re-
quire rows only from 15 to 18
inches apart. Beets, beans and
peas need from 18 to 20 inches
between, while potatoes, corn and
staked tomatoes must have a cou-
ple of feet to thirty inches. Space
may be saved with these if some-
thing quick maturing such as let-
tuce and spinach are planted in
between. The bigger things will
not need the full room at first
and by the time they do, the
early crops will be out of the
way. Where one is using a horst„
garden tractor or a wheel hoe,
of course greater space between
the rows will be needed.
No Crude Rubber
For U. S. Auto Tires
Leon Henderson told the Sen-
ate defence investigating commit-
tee that "not a single pound of
crude rubber" would be available
for new tires or retreads on the
upwards of 30,000,000 passenger
ears now owned by the ordinary
citizen in the United States.
The director of civilian sup-
plies, who is a War Production
!Board member, testified that this
was the "most significant single
statistic" among a maze of details
sin the rubber situation which he
would offer the investigating
group.
Henderson said that present
calculations of supplies for the
'United Nations "did not allow a
single pound of rubber either for
new tires or camel -backs fol any
' of the 30,000,000 -odd passenger
ears in this country."
A senator interrupted to ask
an explanation of "camel -back."
"That's the trade name for
strips used for re -caps or re-
treads on worn automobile tires,"
Henderson said,

NEW SUNDAY COMIC"'
Fancy meeting you here! Fred Allen, after nearly ten years in
radio, finds himself back where he started, making Sunday "Fun.
day" for his millions of network fans, coast to coast. Fred has his
entire crew, tenor Kenny Baker, Portland Hoffa, Al Goodanan's
orchestra and the Mighty Alien Art Players in the Sunday night at
9.00 p.m. spot now, and there they are going to stay. But the good
news is that the ?:`red Allen show came to Canada with the change,
and is now heard on a large CKC in
Hamilton and CFRB in Toronto.The tirk met statagain-9 00includp.m. Sundays.
t•
Another bit of headline radio
listening news is the fact that an-
other great national radio person-
ality has returned to the air with
a brand new show, which is also
being heard in Canada. Jimmie
Fiddler, Hollywood's ace news re-
porter, returned to the air -lanes
3derch 2nd, and is heard in Can-
ada through a number of stations,
including CKOC Hamilton, CKCL
Toronto, CKTB St. Catharines,
CFPL London, CFCO Chatham
and CKCR in Kitchener. Fiddler's
*hats about the stars—his 'bell'
gratings of the newest films, and
his gossip of the cinema colony
makes mighty fine, rapid-fire lis-
tening. Fiddler is broadcast on
Monday nights at seven o'clock.
When you hear your local sta-
tion announce a program as being
`transcribed', it usually signifies
that the musical or other material
In the program has been specially
recorded for radio broadcasting.
When announced as 'recorded',
invariably the program constitutes
a bled of familiar records by
favorite entertainers. Ainongst
the many great shows specially
transcribed for radio broadcast-
ing is the new "FLYING FOR
FREEDOM" series, dedicated to
the work and service of the R.C.-
A.F. OKOC in Hamilton broad-
casts the show Wednesday nights
at 8.00 o'clock—CFRB in To-
ronto Thursday at 9.30, and
other stations, through the -facili-
ties that transcriptions afford,
are able to present the program
at times most suitable to their
broadcast schedule. Irrespective
of where you listen to the show,
you will find it pulsating, dra-
inage entertainment—an exciting
saga of the Air Forces of the
Empire.

British To Have
Bath On Wheels
One of the most unusual gift
received by the Red Cross and
St. John War Organization has
come from the British War Relief
Society of America. This is a
mobile bath, designed and equip-
ped for use at rest centres in
towns where, after air attack,
gas, electricity, and water ser.
vices may be out of action. The
travelling bath operates without
any outside aid. It carries its
own water boilers, stove and coal
bin, and is able•to heat 30 gallons
of water at a time. The vehicle
is also fitted with laundry appal: -
stile and. medical necessities.
Twelve baths for children, and
ten sine baths for adults, together
with kettles and water cans, soap
and towels, are provided by this
new and practical mobile unit.
Canadian Bren Gun
Best In The World
Lt. -Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton
praised the Bren gun after he had
inspected one of the largest plants
manufacturing Beeps in Canada
—the John Inglis Ltd. plant in
Toronto.
"I insisted that the Brcn be
sent overseas to let us conduct
the user trials personally when
the first were turned out here,"
he said. "The men testing then
were told to pull no punches, and
they didn't. After we used the
guns, we stripped them down and
inspected the parts. They were
still in excellent condition despite
the hard ]:Hocks they had taken,
"The Bren guns turned out in.
Canada are the best Bren guns in
the world. There has been no
falling off in quality under iiiass
production, either."

LESSON XII.
JESUS THE MESSIAH
' FORETELLS HIS DEATH
Matthew 16:13.28; Mark 8:27.37;
Luke 9:l8.25
PRINTED TEXT, Mark 8:27.37
GOLDEN TEXT. ---For whoso-
ever would save his life shall lose
it; and whosoever shall lose his
life for my sake and the gospel's
shall save it. Mark 8:35.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—Autumn, A.D. 20,
Place.—Not far from Caesarea
Philippi, far north in Palestine,
under the great towering Mt.
Hermon, a few miles east of the
city of Damascus,
Peter's Confession of Christ
27. "And Jesus went forth, and
his disciples, into the villages of
Caesarea Philippi": It is at this
time that Christ turns almost en-
tirely from speaking to the multi-
tudes, the public, as it were, and
devotes his attention to those who
now believed in him. And on the
way he asked his disciples, saying
unto then, who do men say that
I ala?" The question is signifi-
cant, Jesus is not only conscious
that he is a problem to men; He
assumes that He ought to be. To
His mind :there can be nothing
so importaetras that men should
have received a true impression
of Him and should think of Him
'as He thinks of Himself.
Collection of Testimonies
28. "And they told hint, say-
ing, John the Baptist; and others
Elijah; but others, one of the
prophets." This collection of tes-
timonies is both to be commended
and criticised. On the one hand
It is a confession that our Lord
had taken his place among the
great Prophets of Israel., On the
other hand, these confessions
failed to recognize Christ as more
than a man. He was only a man
among men, even though a
Prophet among Prophets, This
WWI as far as many people In
Palestine had come In their con-
victions concerning Christ, and it
is as far as millions of other
people since have ever 'allowed.
themselves to go.
The Christ of God
29. "And he asked them, But
who say ye that I am? Peter
arlawereth and saith unto him,
Thou art the Christ." Notice
that our Lord does not even argue
about the incorrectness and the
:inadequacy of the verdicts of the
people -which have just been re-
ported to him. He does not try
o chow wherein they are wrong.
Luke's record Jells us that Peter
acknowledged Jesus to be "The
Christ of God." No higher title
than this could ever be given to
our Lord, but one, namely: Son
of the Living God. Peter com-
bined them both.
80. "And he charged them that
they should tell no man of him."
It was only for a short time that
they were thus commanded to be
silent. Soon they were to re-
ceive a command to go every-
where preaching the Gospel.
Jesus wanted them to continue
nea rto Him fo rfurther instruc-
tion.
Jesus Foretells His Death
31, "And He began to teach
them that the Son of Man must
suffer many things, and be re-
jected by the elders, and the
chief priests, and the :scribes, and
be killed, and after three days
rise again." Jesus is brief in this
first formal announcement. He
is like one breaking a terrible
piece of news to his dearst friends.
The shock cannot be avoided but
is softened as much as possible.
The very thought of seeing their
beloved Master a victim of the
Sanhedrirn at Jerusalem must
have overwhelmed the disciples,
•—and not only because of their
love, attachment and high hopes,
but also because of their con-
ception of the Messiah, which
included the very opposite of suf-
fering and being killed, namely
earthly grandeur and triumph.-
, Peter Rebukes Jesus
32. "And he slake the saying
openly, and Peter took Him and
began to rebuke Him." To Peter
Such frankness seemed to be in.
discreet; such premonitions of
failure were at variance with all.
his conceptions of Christ. The
Master had manifested a momen-
tary weakness; it was his duty
as senior of the Twelve to re-
monstrate. He took the Lord
aside a • Iittle, perhaps in order
to spare`the Master the pain of
public remonstrance,
Jesus Rebukes Peter
83. "But he turning about, and
seeing his disciples, rebuked Pe-
ter, and saith: Get thee behind
me Satan; for thou mindest not
the things of God, hut the things
of men." It was necessary that
he should throw back the temp-
tation with indignation and even
vehemence, with the rebuke of
heaven set against the presump-
tuous rebuke of flesh, Here as
in all other places in the Gospel
Christ is shown to be right and
other men, when they differ with
him, altogether wrong.
24. "And He called unto Him
the multitude with his disciples,
and said unto them: If any pian
would come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his
crass, and follow me." At the
vea'y' time when Peter would keep
the Lord from going to the cross
to die, Christ believes that Peter
ought to be instructed on the
denial which he himself m).i"rat en-
dure. It is not Christ's erose
that we have to take up„ His
sufferings ,stand alone, incapable
of repitition and needing hone)
but each has his own.
The True Life
35. "For whosoever wout(t save
his life shall lose it; and whoec-
ever shall lose his life for my
sake and the gospel's shalt Save
it." There is no such thing as,
ultimate loss in the kingdom of
God. All personal intere;its be-
come merged in those of the gos-
pel. It is as a man loses himself
in great and high things that he
fids himself, and as he saciificee
his life in their behalf j:hat he
saves it. Only in such things irr
there any true life.
36. "For what doth it profit 5
man to gainthe whole world,
and forfeit his life? 3.'1. Foi
what should a man give in ex-
change for his life?" By the,whole
world our Lord means actually
"all the world's wealth, power,
pleasure, beauty and glory."
What is a man benefited if,
though he have all these thins,
he forfeit his life?
