Here is one evidence of it. Storm that swept the eastern coast destroyed large supply dumps along the shore. Hundreds of petrol tins were at the mercy of the Adriatic. JIAHO REPORTER Possibly the largest daytime audience of any Canadian radio program belongs to "They Tell Me" conducted by Claire 'Wallace, Claire in private Iife is just as charming and vivacious a personal- ity as she is on the radio; her charm being only matched by her modesty. She was the first Can- adian woman to fly the Atlantic as a passenger. She has travelled extensively in Canada's north country, and is well liked by her colleagues in the broadcasting in- dustry. CLAIRE WALLACE. * * Claire's a pretty smart girl, one example being that some years ago before the war, she and I were both assigned by -tour•, respective Radio stations to cover the arrival - of a lighter than airship in Toron- to. They landed at a flying field outside Toronto and made arrange- xnetits to take the visiting press and radio men up for a •teial flight. Your columnist, who is in excess sof :tett pounds, was among the six who won seats on the balloon for the first flight. Apparently too much weitiac was allowed aboard and coming in over the fence the balloon tore off its tail assembly. Claire, ache Lad drawn the second light, was .,•ailing on the ground and \when your commentator got eff the ba'.i,.,.n he gave Claire a it ri;.•leae that due to the dam- age: to the tail of the balloon, there would be :to further flying that morning, Chat afterr:oon we were assigned to the Inland airport to describe the arrival of the balloon at that point. It was supposed to be ar- 5'it ing with only the crew, but whets it landed at the Island air- port a lune lady stepped from the balloon, you guessed it. Clare had remained with the ship until it was fixed and had wangled herself a private ride the rest of the way into 'Famine, and, as a matter of Tact, she wound up itith the best story of all of us who bad ,.been WINGED VICTORY Botnbs (bottom of photo) from 1 o this RAF plane form a symbolic "V -for -Victory" as they plunge toward enemy installations ori the lft`ome-Pescara road in Italy.

It is heard over CKCL Mondays through Fri- days .from 4.15-4.30 p.m. Claire has an intense personal interest in the war inasmuch as her husband is serving with the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps on one of Canada's coasts, and her son is serving in the Navy. * * * Frankie Sinatra, the current rave of the "bobby sock brigade", is in the doghouse according to Trade publications and reports coming out of Hollywood. Frankie'n publiclty has gone to his head and he is getting to be rather a diffi- cult young man to handle. The United States Army is going to ban Sinatra's broadcast discs, un- less the young fents who whinny and whine every time Frankie steps to the microphone shup up. The Army feels that the fighting man wouldn't like this kind of nonsense. * * * Beside the National Hockey League games the largest sports coverage in Canada are those of the Gillette Boxing bouts. Bill Corum, who works with Don Dunphy; is one of New York's best known sports writers and sometimes we think that Corum's between rounds and other colour is much more interesting than Don Dunphy's blow by blow descrip- tion. No reflection on Dunphy, who does an excellent workman- like job, but he is still not well enough known to the majority of Canadian sports fans to rank with the top commentators in Canada, but he will one of these days. Gillette fights are carried on a coast to coast Canadian network and by CKCL most Friday nights at 10.00 P.M. EWT.

The cursing of the' fig . tree occurred the next day,: Mon- day. All the rest of the events rec- orded in •this lesson occurred on Tuesday of that week. Place — The triumphal entry o. curred an the western slope of the Mount of Olives. The scenes in the temple, of .course, occurred in the temple area. The rest of the events in this lesson occurred in o: very near to the city of Jeru- salem. Entry into Jerusalem Jerusalem .. . and straightway he Jerusalem ... and straightaway he will send him back hither." The owner of the ass, as a faithful and dutiful servant of the Lord, would straightway comply with Christ's request. The true servant- of Christ is ever ready and willing to do the Lord's will. "And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him." It needed faith and courage on the part of the disciples to do their Lord's bidding, but they im- plicitly believed His word and acted upon it. Christ's Word Effective "And certain of them that stood there said unto them,. What do ye, loosing the colt? And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: And they let them go." The own- ers would be surprised to see the apostles loosing the colt but 'they let them go.' By that action they admitted the right of tie Lord to have first claim upon their prop- erty. The disciples did not make up any explanation of their own in loosing the colt. It was Christ's word they spoke, not their own„ and they found it effective at once. Too often, we fail in Christian service because we give too muck time to what others say, and too little to what Christ says. It is His word that men need; it is His word which alone is effective with nen. The King of the Jews - "And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their gar- ments; and he sat upon him." The disciples cast their garments upon the colt, both as a saddle, and to render Him royal homage. Christ mounted the colt that He might enter the Hold• City as the Xing of the Jews. "And many spread their gar- ments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields." Many catching the enthusiasm of the moment, spread their garments, in place of tares - try or webs of cloth, along the way where jeans wonla pars. Oth- ers took branches fron: palm trees and strewed them in the way. From this act the day has received the popular name of Palin Sun- day. Hosanna in the Highest "And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hos- anna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father Daviel; Ifos- anna in the highest." The people hail Him joyfully as their prom- ised king.

Cleansing of the Temple "And they ccnne to Jerusalem, , , for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teachings." • Having cleared the • market, Jesus began' to 'teach the people who had 'assembled.

That is what I thought as I went for the mail this morning. You see in the little time that it took rile to walk from the house to the road and back again, six planes went over my head, all in different directions. But never a car did I see at all. Afore planes in the air than cars on the road—isn't that something? I wonder how it will be after the war—I mean, will there be more planes and less cars, or more cars and less planes? Naturally planes will be in greater demand for commercial use but I suppose, unless they develop some kind of aerial "flivver" you and I will still be quite content to roll along on the road — and think ourselves mighty lucky at that, having pas- sed through a period of not being able to roll along just when we felt like it. * * * Recently I wondered whether our car was doomed o be laid up for the duration. You see one day Partner and I were going to town and as we started Partner said I had better drive easy as I bad a the that looked as if it might blow out any time. (I have told you that Partner absolutely refuses to drive a car, haven't I?) That may have been good advise—it is bet- ter to be safe than sorry, especially where a car is concerned — but it certainly didn't add to my com- fort. I knew I should have tried my luck at getting a couple of new tires, but what with one thing and another I had put it off. Now I was really driven to it. The ap- plication was sent away. And I waited, and waited, and waited! Each passing clay increased my unea.iness, I heard rumors of applications being, turned down; of government regulations being tigh- tened up—and I can tell you that shabby old '30 of ours began to look like a million dollars. And then after three weeks the permit cants throulh, I think When we get CI -es I ,hall trier them up with • pink bows jn<tti^ celebrate, Did I hear someone say—"Oh yes, a farinc• gets all the breaks. just let ate try for new tires and see how far I would get." Well, I can understand your viewpoint — it must seem pretty tough to you when you probably teel that a car is just as necessary to you as to the farmer. But yet, you arc get- ting along without it, aren't you? Whereas the farmer—well, a car is • as necessary to him now as any of his field implements. Take our car for instance: it hardly ever goes to town without bringing back a hundred of bran, shorts, chop or laying -mash, It takes in eggs and chickens, grain to be theta in the very place where they ruled was an unpardonable offence and Jesus must be destroyed. It carie to this: either Jesus must die 'or their pdtr`er be overthrown. The difficulty was, IIow could they effect their end? They saw that the common people favored Him, and were intere:Aed in His teach- ing. 'This made them afraid to in- terfere with Him openly (com- pare Mk. 14:2). chopped, and sometimes it Is piled high with Red Cross sewing, kr it - ting and quilts. .It takes people to and from the station; it gets repairs and does the weekly shopping. It goes to church and to meetings; it calls at every farm in the district whenever a Red Cross drive is on, and occassionaliy, yes, very oc- cassionally, it does take us to a show. Oh yes, and once in while it goes to the city when shopping becomes a vital necessity. But never, since gas rationing, has it used up all the coupons to which it is entitled. We apply for the lowest category on which we think we can manage --and then try ,to use less. When we have orders for boiling fowl it is my job to pick out birds that are not laying. Experts tell you that if you look for this and are women. that you can always tell if a bird is laying or not. Well, if I follow all the rules and pick a bird that definitely shouldn't be laying I generally find—too late—that she was all set to lay eggs for the rest of her natural life. So now I ignore the experts. Instead I stand quietly inside the pen and watch the biddies. What I watch for I can't tell you, but there is something about the look of a hen that tells me whether she is laying or not. Take that one yesterday— by all the rules she should have been laying, but I didn't think she looked as if she were. So Partner killed her—and she wasn't. Was I glad I was right! Second sight? Oh, I don't think so. Just hen - sight, I guess, Australia's new wheat crop is es- timated at 97,000,000 bushels com- pared with 156,000,00J a year ago.
