A FARM WIFE
CHATS TO WOMEN
By
Gwendoline P. Clarke
Tomorrow is the last day of Oc-
tober. Nothing very unusual in
that I suppose—but yet I always
heel that when we say goodbye to
October we also say goodbye to
any hope of more autumn weather.
When November comes—well any-
thing may happen—snow, sleet or
hard frost,
And then, ceme November, it is
no time to Christmas—and before
you know it we are into another
year.
But of course, winter has its
compensations. It is a good time
to get caught up with your work
—ready for summer again. If there
were no winter I don't believe I
would ever see the end of my
mending or get to the bottom of
may correspondence pile. And then
winter weather does give one a
chance to get more Red Cross
work done, doesn't it? There is no
end to the sewing, knitting and
quilts that are needed.
* * *
You know it so happens that I
have been war work convener for
our local branch of the Women's
Institute, and also for the County
as a whole, since the war started
and I must say that I find a. great
deal of satisfaction in the work.
I just love to see the socks and
sweaters and quilts, and the hun-
dred and one other things that
come to me from members of our
Institute for shipment to the Red
Cross. And when I look at a big
pile of work I always wonder what
the women would have had to
Show for their time had they not
done it.
Just at present there are two
huge cartons sitting in our living -
room. They are very unsightly
should visitors arrive—and I am
expecting visitors—but that doesn't
worry nae one bit because in those
cartons I am packing ditty bags
as they arrive. There are eight in
FIRST TOOTH
With the usual display of ]ung
power, 2 -weeks -old Spencer Lee
Little, of San .Tose, Calif., dis-
plays the tooth discovered by his
Mother just after he was born.
l
the cartons so far—before the
boxes are full there will be twenty-
oue. The value of each bag is ap-
proximately $4, so that makes a
total of $84, doesn't it? Our Insti-
tute is divided into five groups.
Each group collected money in its
own neighbourhood with which to
buy the things for the bags. Into
each bag was also packed a pair of
knitted seamen's socks.
$ *
Wouldn't it be nice if we could
follow even one of those bags to
the end of its journey. Imagine
any one of those sailor boys—a
boy possibly just as young as
yours or mine—working on storm -
lashed decks on a boat in' mid-
AtIantic. Handling cables that
freeze in his hands; climbing to
the crow's nest; going here and
going there at the command of
his officers, and always in danger
of U boat attacks. And then im-
agine that same boy, going off
duty below deck—and opening up
a ditty bag ... finding a tube of
healing ointment for his chapped
and roughened hands . . . tooth-
paste and shaving cream ... candy
—that will taste mighty good
after ship's rations. A Digest mag-
azine to read just when he has
read that torn and tattered book
for the fifth time that he borrow-
ed from Seamen Jim. Then he digs
a little further into the ditty bag
and finds a can of soup . , . meat
cubes . . , cocoa—all requiring
only a little hot water to make a
drink that will warn him right
down to his half frozen feet—blit
feet that will feel a lot more com-
fortable once they are inside that
grand pair of hand-knit socks.
Can't you imagine that boy saying
to himself—"Thank God for the
women at home!"
* * *
Well, I see two more cars com-
ing up the lane so that means
more ditty bags. Very soon they
will all be in and Partner will tie
up the cartons and then away I
go to town to speed the bags on
their way to our boys in blue.
And tomorrow—ori dear, to-
morrow will be another busy day
as my sister and nephew are com-
ing for the week -encs. And not oue
thing have I ready for their visit!

Condemnation of Theft
"Ye shall not steal; neither shal
ye deal falsely, nor lie one to an-
other. Thou shalt not oppress th
neighbor, nor rob him: the wage
of a hired servant shall not abid
with thee all night until morning."
If we love our neighbor we shal
do to him exactly as we shoul
like him to do to us. We shall be
truthful, fair, honest in all our
dealings with him. Rather than
defraud hini, we shall give him
full value for his money. Rather
than keep an employee waiting
for his wages, we shall pay him
in good time. The man who is hired
from day to day is invariably a
poor man whose living depends on
prompt payment. To withhold
money due is a form of robbery,
The Barrier of Wealth.,
"And he entered and was pass-
ing through Jericho. And behold, a
man called by name, Zacchaeus;
and he was a chief publican, and
he was rich." Luke mentions Zac-
chaeus was rich perhaps because
it was most unusual for a rich man
to seek the company of Jesus. The
disciples learned from the incident
of the rich young ruler how great
a barrier wealth was to the en-
trance of the rich into the King-
dom of God.
Eagerness To See Jesus
"And he sought to. see Jesus who
he was; and could not fora the
crowd, because he was little of
stature. And he ran on before,'y and
climbed up into a s`ycomore tree
to see him: for he was to .pass
that way," Because of the short-
ness of his stature Zacchaeus fear-
ed that in the press of the multi-
tude he might be prevented from
'actually seeing Christ. He *as a
determined man; he refused to al-
low his small stature to defeat his
purpose. 3f we are going to see and
'know Jesus as our Saviour, then
we must be determined, resolute,
for there will be many obstacles
to overcome.
Jesus' Graciousness
"And when Jesus came to the
place, he looked up, and said unto
him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and
come down; for to -day I must -
abide at thy house." Zacchaeus
experienced unexpected joy at
Jesus' command, The rich shun-
ned him; he was a social outcast.
But Jesus the great Prophet in-
vited him to receive Him as his
guest,
Welcome To Jesus
"And he made haste, and came
down, and received. hini joyfully.
And when they saw it, they all
murmured, saying, He. is gone in
to lodge with a man that is a sin-
ner," The attitude of the people
to Christ's action shows how little
love there was toward the out-
casts of society. The action of
Christ shows how great was His
love for sinners, His greatness ex-
posed their littleness; His sym-
pathy, their callousness; His hu-
mility, their pride.
True Repentance
"And Zacchaeus stood, and said
unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the
half of my goods I give to the
poor; and if I have wrongfully ex-
acted aught of any man, I restore
fourfold." The love of Christ had
touched his heart and opened up
within hint a spirit of true repent-
ance, a desire to put wrong things
right immediately, Since Jehovah
had come into his life he has be-
come a new Hiatt.
Twofold Declaration
"And Jesus said unto hint, To-
day is salvation come to this

AUTOGIRO AND HELICOPTER: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Main difference between these two windmill -type airplanes is 'that one has a propeller in front,
the other has it on the tail. The autogiro, top, actually a trade name for one type of gyroplane, uses
a regular propeller for forward motion and has the large wind-blown rotor instead of a fixed wing for
lift. _,The helicopter's rotor is motor-drvien, runs the plane up and down as well as forward or back-
ward, Small rotor in rear keeps the helicopter from spinning around.

Within this coming week we
of Canada, together with other
peoples of the United Nations,
will observe another Day of
Remembrance. Radio will pause
for two minutes at 11 a.m. Thurs-
day, November 11th to silently
pay tribute to those who gave
their lives that we might live and
progress along the Path of Free-
dom. Let us pay homage in that
brief moment also to service men
and women who right now are
carrying the torch, and pledge
ourselves '.n thought and deed to
help them in every way possible
to Speed. the Victory!
For those not attending a local
Armistice service, radio station
CFRB will carry a special broad-
cast from the steps of the City
Hall, Toronto, from 10.55 to
11,30 a.m, on November 11th.
An evening observance of Ar-
mistice Day takes the form of a
special musical tribute to be
heard over the CBC network
from 10.15 to 11.15 p.m. Mem-
bers of the Toronto Symphony
Orchestra and the Mendelssohn
Choir, under the direction of Sir
Ernest McMilla-a, will take part
in the program, which will also
include a spoken salute to Can-
ada's fallen, and trumpeters
sounding The Last Post, will
usher in a dramatic and choral
delineation of the words of the
Bible, promising that "there shall
be peace on earth, goodwill
among Hien.” The Mendelssohn
Choir will render the Hallelujah
house, forasmuch as he also is a
son of Abraham. For the son of
man came to seek and to save that
which was lost," All the house was
' blessed through the change
wrought in Zacchaeus. As one of
'the lost sheep of the House of
Israel', Zacchaeus was entitled, on
his repentance, to the blessings
Christ offered. Even this publican
was a son of Abraham and, there-
fore, must not be excluded from
Jewish 'privileges.
The Temple of God
"And he entered into the temple,
and began to cast out them that
sold, saying unto them, It is writ-
ten,
ritten, and my house shall be a house
of prayer: but ye have made it
a den of robbers."' It was profane
and sacrilegious to turn the very
House of God into a scene of noisy
and greedy barter. These unspirit-
ual traffic mongers aroused the
indignation of our Saviour. The•
very priests stood condemned also,
for they allowed this unholy traf-
fic within the Temple. They would
receive in cash part of the plunder.
When the priesthood is corrupt,
then corruption becomes universal,
