Live and Learn RADIO iii0IITER r',36( FROST ..riany radio fans who make a habit of listening in during the late eveniag, particularly be- tween 11 o'clock and midnight will have noticed that the Ameri- ean networks, to a great extent, have discontinued dance music in /avow.' of other types of enter tainment. The National Broad- casting Company has been putting on quite an extensive series of dramatic plays, while the Colum- bia Broadcasting System has pre- sented a number of progranunes of symphonic music. •Why the ehange? People have been ask- ing whether it has been brought about as the Tent of representa- times from a growing group of listeners who lately have been ex- pressing the view that there is too much "jazz," too much 'ipopue lax" music on the air, not only in the late evening, but most of the rest of the day. That may have been partly the reason. In the main however, the change in the type of broadcasting schedules in the late evening and early hours a the morning is more a reflec- tion of changing listener habits, a direct outcome of war -time con- ditions. Perhaps the greatest of these influences is related to the "shift" system which now is in effect in Most of.. the wee, pe eduction "plall.t% eiNaate. es:sane-ride. .; a a a plan Whereby workers are sometimes on duty during day shifts, and peri- odically take their share of night work. This has had the effect of "staggering" the hours at which many workers make a habit of listening to the radio. So, with the idea of providing as much programme variety as possible at all hours of the day and night, the dance music, a normal char- acteristic of peace -time pro- grammes surrounding the mid- night hour has had to make way for other types of entertainment. Then again, many of the better Claes dance bands which were featured on the networks late at night, have enlisted for service 'with the active forces as complete units of entertainment, and as :such are frequently not available for broadcasts. Columbia has re- cently added to its late evening schedule a very fine symphony progrannne, heard every Tuesday evening over the network of which CFRB, Toronto is the Ontario out- let, Tuesday evenings 11.30 to 12 midnight. The dramatic sequences originating in the N.B.C. studios, several evenings around the same hour, are also being cordially re- ceived. "R.C.A.F. Tour for Talent." Such is the name of a brand new programme which will go on the sdr for the first time, Sunday evening 8.30 to 9 o'clock over OFRB, Toronto. From then on it will be a regular Sunday eve- ning feature. It takes the form of a glorified amateur show, with the well known Ken Soble as Mas- ter of Ceremonies. Any man in the R.C.A.F. or a member. of his family may compete for the valu- able prizes which are awarded to those contestants who are greeted with the greatest acclaim from the listener. As a gesture of war service, everything is donated tree. CFRB provides the station facilities without charge. Ken Sohle and staff contribute their services. The prizes are donated by public spirited business organ- izations. The programmes will originate from the R.C,A.F. Man- ning Pool in Toronto, but the contestants, singers and entertain- ers of all kinds will be brought in from various Ontario points where Air Force Schools are ow located. The lads in blue are ;going to he given a chance to show that between stretches of training as :fighter pilots, bom- bardiers and air gunners, they can etill find time to stage an enter- taiaing radio show, e * The Aldrich Family, heard over C.B..C.'e National network Thurs. day eveninge at 8.30, has become one. of rural Canada's most popu- lar programmes. The Aldrich Fa- mily as part of the wider family of radio .listeners celebrates its fifth anniversary this week. The Aldriches have made radio history since Rudy Vallee first did an Aldrich skit on his variety show. Then you recall the family gra- duated as a summer substitute for Sack Benny. Not one of the or- iginal actors however is now in the caste. The original Henry is now playing a dual role . . . as a soldier wearing the uniform of Thiele Sam's forces, and also as a lead in the show "This is the Army" . . . and the other original actors have branched out far and wide. Lake Titica,ca, 12,000 feet above sea. level in Bolivia, is the high- est navigable body of water in the world. Two of our friends, both of dis- criminating taste, says Hank in The St. Thomas TiMe$401,1rnal, made—shall we say a gastronoma coal or pomological—discovery re cently? They discovered that the: variety of apple known. •as the Jonathan has bon much maligned by people who regarded it as being in a low category. To enjoy a Jonathan, they informed us, a housewife should. not start using the apples until March—then the Jonathan is one of the most de- licious apples for • pies and for sauce. Ono of our authorities is none other than "Tomniy" Thomas, Elgin's agriculture representative. And "Tommy" really knows his apple -sass! Our other authority is Don Anderson. We'll accept their verdict oa the virtues and qualities of. the Jona- than when used as a late winter apple—but don't try to sell us on the Ben Davis, boys!

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The resurrection of our Lord 'took place on Sunday morn- ing, April 9, A.D. 30. Place.—We do not know exact- ly where the burial and resurrec- tion of our Lord took place, but we do know that ho was buried in the rock tomb of Joseph of Ari- erlathea outside the city wall of Jerusalem,which undoubtedly means north ofthe city and near the place where He was crucified. The Tomb Is Empty "Now on the first clay of the week •cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb. She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon' Peter and to the other dis- ciple whom Jesus loved, and saith .•unto them, they.have taken away ethe Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid • him." Mary Magdalene naturally thinks that the Jews, not satisfied with killing Jesus, have taken 'away his 'body. Mary's Report Confirmed "Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came fist to the tomb and stooping, and looking in, lie seeth the linen. cloths lying; yet entered he not in. Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and en- tered into the tomb; and he be- holdeth the linen cloths lying." The linen bands lay just as they bad been wound about the limbs and the body, only the body was no longer in them. Both their presence and their undisturbed • condition spoke -volumes. Jesus was risen from the dead. "And the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen • cloths, but rolled up in a place' by itself." If both the headcloth and the bands had been folded up, neither would indicate the miracle of the resurrection. Then Peter and. John would conclude only that friendly human han ds • bad. unclothed the dead body for some strange reason and had taken it awa-y. Mary's Sorrow '1 • "But Mary was standing with- ' • out at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked. into the tomb." On that Easter morning Peter and John went to their homes and only a woman lingered by the grave. Mary simply replied I cannot go.' She must linger and watch. No one doubts the love of Peter and John for Jesus, but there is not a dis- ciple who can match the love of Mary. Mary and the Angels "And she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, woman, why weep - est thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid hini." That one of the angels was at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain is to be regarded as expressive of the fact that the body was wholly under the guardianship of heaven. Mary Knew Not Jesus "When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and behold- eth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus." Now it may be that our Lord was greatly changed, because we read else- where that the two who walked with him on the Emmaus road did not know him (Luke 24:16) but we must not place too much em- phasis upon the failure of the dis- ciples et times to recognize their Lord. Is it not true, even in the days before His resurrection when He- walked to the disciples on the water, that they seemed not to have recognized that it was the Lord, but thought it was His spirit, Mary may have failed to recognize Him because her eyes were filled with tears. She is simply tawai'e of a man behind her and is too much preoccupied with her thoughts to look closely. Mary Recognizes es ul eJeeue smith mites her, Woman why Weepest thou? Whom seek - est then?" The question, "Why •Steepeat thou.?" is invested 'with a power of sympathy by the further qUestion, 'Whom seekest thou?' "She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto. him, Sir, if thou hast born him hence, tell me Where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned her- self, and ealth unto him in He- brew, Rabbonis which is to say, Teacher." We cannot doubt that there would be more of the old tenderness of Jesus in the pro- nunciation of her name than in the words as yet spoken to her. The very mark, indeed, of the relation between Jesus and Nis people, when that relation is con- ceived of in its most tender form, is that 'he ealleth his own sheep by.name.' We are not to imagine that it is only the sound of the voice that is now recognized by Mary. By the name, by the tone in which the name is uttered, a. whole flood of recollections is brought up. All the deepest and most solemn impressions that had been produced upon her by her /miler intercourse with Jeeus, are reawakened in power, She recalls not merely what was most human but what was most divine in Him. - Christ's Chosen Agent Europe Suffers Livestock Losses The estimated decline at live, stock In enemy -occupied Allied countries es a result of lack of feeding-stuffs, reqUisitioniug, and slaughter is about 11,000,000 eattle, 3,000,000 horses, 12,000,000 pigs 11,000,000 sheep, • These figures were revealed in a report prepared by Allied agri- cultural experte and considered by the Tedhnical Advisory Oonnnit- tee on Agriculture in bondon last week. The report says that the decline constitutes a very seam menace both to postewar food pup - plies and to future ,of Bureliean agriculture. Milk production has gone down by more than a third, and meat production by neaely half.

Mary Magdalene was not .one of the apostles, neither did site, as far as we know, and as far as the custom of the early Church would seen to imply, become a great preacher or herald .of the gospel, but she *as used by the Lord to bring the first message of His resurrection to the dis- ciples, thus confirming their faith and establishing their hope.
