Zurich Herald, 1942-03-26, Page 2New Alaska Road
Ready Within Year
Interior Secretary Harold Ickes
said present plans call for com-
pletion, "within one year" of the
United States -Alaska Highway.
"The road will be protected
from the sea by alpine country
unpassable for airplanes for at
least fifty per cent of the time
dut to coastal fogs and storms,"
he said. "Along this route, trucks
and tanks could move easily and
quickly in a continuous lifeline
between the United States and
Alaska."
Looks For Greatest
Gamble In History
Despatches from Stockholm and
Zurich quoted the editor of the
Helsinki newspaper Sanomat as
writing on his return from Berlin
eggs in one basket for Spring
offensive and that we will wit.
ness the greatest gamble in his-
tory." "The coining German
Spring offensive dominates every-
thing in Germany," the Finnish
journalist wrote. "Tanks and the
Luftwaffe will be thrown into
battles in numbers never before
experienced."
In The Garden
Because grass is a cool -weather
plant, any work with lawns should
be started just as quickly in the
Spring as possible, experts point
out. This does not mean, of
course, that the soil should be
worked while it is still wet. That
sort of thing never helps in any
kind of gardening. But once one
can walk over the ground without
getting shoes muddy, then the
rake can be brought into play.
In both new Iawns or patching,
the soil should be raked fine and
level. Authorities advise sowing
only the highest quality of seed
mixtures and as thick as direc-
tions specify. To get even re -
suite, it is best to make a double
sowing, one across and once
lengthwise. Small patches can be
protected from the birds by use
of brush.
Both new and old lawns bene-
fit from rolling while the ground
is still soft. Grass, like any other
plant, benefits from rich soil and
an annual application of fertilizer.
This improves the growth and
also the color of the grass itseI•f.
SOIL BUILDING
Perfect garden soil is a light,
rich loam, which means a mix-
ture of sand, clay and rotted
vegetable matter. The Iatter is
technically known as humus. Un-.
less one is lucky, it is not usual
to find such a perfect combina-
tion in one's own garden. But
with a little care, something very
similar can be created. Fre-
quent cultivation in itself will go
far towards creating a new gar-
den soil. Piowirg or spading,
plus harrowing or raking, will
loossen up the toughest c.'ay, and
after a few years it is amazing
how much easier it will be to
work. Apother simple corrective
will be the incorporation of hu-
mus, such as well -ratted manure,
green vegetable matter like a crop
of weeds, clover or green oats.
BOOK SHELF
NINE LIVES
By Alice Grant Rosman
When Samuel Penguin first
came to the Rosman's, he was
already a cat of character. But
he was aloof in the beginning.
Only gradually did he unbend and
permit familiarity; it was an oc-
casion when the first purr was
rioted.
Here is his biography—the
story of his development, of his
overlordship in the family of the
London he came to know, and of
the war he was to experience.
Nine Lives is London- past and
present, for Miss Rosman goes
back to her own introduction to
it some thirty years ago.
Sam's adventures have been
many and his friends legion. He
has accepted tribute from all. cor-
ners of the globe, and he has
taken his part in the war with the
same royal fortitude. He saw
his mistress in gas masks, was
Introduced to an Animal Post,
spent the nights of raids in shel-
ters, and took soldiers, refugees
and ambulance girls just as they
came. In a bomb -emergency, he
even shared a dugout with a dog.
Sam bore the ordeal well, but the
dog had a nervous breakdown.
The best way to convey the
quality of this enchanting book
is to say that Alice Rosman wrote
it. That it contains innumerable
black -and -white drawings by Di-
ana Thorne is to prove that it is
a book of unique charm.

On The Mountain
28. "And it came +-J pass about
eight days after these sayings,
that he took with him Peter and
John and James, and went up
into the mountain to pray." Christ
went up the mountain for a per-
iod of noly communion with His
Father in heaven, that both He
and His disciples might be
strengthened for new tasks, and
might receive divine guidance and
illumination for the days that
were before them.
Christ Transfigured

the fashion of his coputena.nee
was altered, and his raiment be-
came white and dazzling." The
word `transfiguration' itself is not
found in any form in. Luke's ac-
count, hut occurs in Matthew and
Mark, and gives the name to this
particular experience. Can we
ascertain the nature of the change
which was here uudergone by our
Lord? We seem to be justified
in saying that there was some
actual physical change in our
Lord's body. While emphasis is
placed upon the shining of His
face, it is He who was transfig-
ured, as though the change they
saw in his countenance was but
the visible manifestation of a
change that had taken place in
His entire body.
Moses and Elijah Appear
36. "And behold, there talked
with him two men, who were
Moses and Elijah, 31. Who ap-
peared in glory, and spake of his
decease which he was about to
accomplish at Jerusalem." The
importance of the death of Christ
is here greatly emphasized, as it
is in every other par. of the New
Testament, by the fact that it
formed the one major theme of
conversation between these two
great Old Testament eharactere
and the Son of God.
Peter's Suggestion
32. "Now Peter and they that
were with him were heavy with
sleep: but when :.hey were fully
awake, they saw his glory, and
the two men that stood with him.
33. And it came to pass, as they
were parting from him, Peter said
unto Jesus, Master, it is good for
us to be here: and let us make
three tabernacles; one for thee,
and one for Moses, and one for
Elijah: not knowing what he
said." The tabernacles were little
booths or huts, such as were con-
structed for the feast of Taber-
nacles,
made out of branches of
trees and bushes, Peter and his
fellows were so taken with the
sight of the felicity they saw, that
they desired to abide on •the
mount with Jesus and the saints.
Voice From Heaven
34. "And while he said these
things, there came a cloud, and
overshadowed them: and they
feared as they entered into the

aloud.`: A cloud is the constant
symbol, or if not always this, the
accompaniment, of the divine
presence.
35. "Anda voice came ..out of
the cloud, saying, This is my Son,
my chosen: hear ye him." One of
the three heavenly voices which
spake of Christ during His public
ministry: (1) at His baptism; (2)
at His transfiguration; (3) in the
Temple court, before His seizure,
when all was ready for the final
sacrifice.
The Astonished Disciples
36. "And when the voice carne,
Jesus was found alone, And they
held their peace, and told no nman
in those days any of the things
which they had seen," Luke him-
self does not record the astonish-
ment which these disciples knew
at this hour, but Matthew does,
in, the words "they fell on their
face and were sore afraid," which
is followed by one of the most
beautiful short sentences in all
the New Testament, "And Jesus
came and touched them and said,
arise, and be not afraid."
The Father's Cry
37. "And it came to pass, on
the next day, when they were
come down from the mountain,
a great multitude met him. SS.
And behold, a man from the mul-
titude cried, saying, Teacher, I
beseech Thee to look upon my
son; for he is mine only clmild:
39. And behold, a spirit taketh
hint, and he suddenly crieth out;
and it teareth him that he foamn-
eth, and it hardly departeth from
him, bruising hies sorely. 40. And
1 besought thy disciples to east
it out; and they could not," First
this father asked the disciples of
Christ tq, deliver the boy, but they,
to their shame, were impotent to
help. Then he asked the Lord. The
Lord is never helpless. The Lord
is never lacking in sufficient
strength for delivering any person
from the bondage of sin,
Christ Rebukes The People
41. "And Jesus answered and
said, 0 faithless and perverse gen-
eration, how long shall I be with
you, and bear with you? bring
hither thy. son." Here is a case
where Jesus allows His deep feel-
ing to come out in words. •Pain,
and disappointment wring this
cry from His heart.
Christ Rebukes The Demon
42, "And as he was yet a com-
ing, the demon dashed him down,
and tore him grievously. But
Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit,
laid healed the boy, and gave him
back to his father. 4a. And they
were all astonished at the majesty
of trod," Bow wonderful that the
bondage whieh had so tragically
kept this- boy iu pain and misery
