Here is one evidence of it. Storm that swept the eastern coast destroyed large supply dumps along the shore. Hundreds of petrol •pins were at the mercy of the Adriatic. ✓ OICE OF IHE P RESS QUARTER IS 28 POUNDS A quarter, the weight unit used for grain in Britain, is 28 pounds because it is one-quarter of an hundredweight.

Shucks, profes- sor; we've heard some who were well over 2u0. —Ottawa Citizen.

DIFFE- RENCE The difference between "dam" and "damn" is that the former re- tains pressure; the latter relieves it. —Victoria Times. A Dangerous War It is good to be strong and wise. It is good to be lucky. And Mr. Churchill's humor is always with him. In the First World War his headquarters were in a farmhouse continually subject to shelling. A fidgety general warned him against subjecting himself and his officers to such constant danger. "I tell you ies very dangerous," says Fuss and Feathers. "Yes," says Lieuten- ant-Colonel Churchill, "but after all this is a very dangerous war." —New York Times. ADM REPORTER Looking at the picture of Liola Albanese, star of "The Treasure Hour of Song", heard every Thursday 9.30-10.00 p.na. EWT, * * * Liola Albanese * * * over Mutual and CKCL, Toronto, brings to mind the fact that ra- dio's people have found a new out- let for their draunatic ability be- cause of the war, Radio drama has increased to a large percent since the war broke out. Canadian radio has made outstanding contribu- tions to the war effort in the dra- matic field, and possibly the larg- est of these radio dramas is the transcribed series "The Army Speaks". It started from a very small be- ginning early in the war Mr. Henry S. Gooderhatn, President of radio station CKCL, was approach- ed by Military District No, 2 to see what aid his radio station could give in assisting in obtain- ing recruits for the Army. "The Army Speaks" series was conceived and the station's mobile crew trent to Catnp Borden and cut ac- tual scenes of army training to be used as sound effects. The program started originally on five stations. It was an instant Success and Na- tional Defence Headquarters in Ottawa decided the series could be used with advantage across the country, with the result that Cap- tain, now Major I)iespecker, Radio Liasion Officer for the Army., took over production of the pro- gram. This year the program is being heard over fifty stations in Canada and while it's still produced in the studios of CI<CL, it now has a nation wide audience, You can probably find it in the listing of your favourite radio station un- der its original title of ''The Army Speaks," It's carried by CKCL, Wednesday at 8,20 pun. Major Diespecker has just returned from By AL LEARY overseas where he has been gath- ering new material for the series. * * * Canadian radio stations have also on occasion been requested by the United States Government to do production on some of their war effort programs. When the Dionne quintuplets appeared at Maple Leaf Gardens in aid of the third War Loan, they were picked up and broadcast to the United States network. The United States Treasury weekly show, "T li e Bond Wagon", did a pick-up from Little Norway on the occasion of the preview _ of John Steinbeck's "The Moon Is Down". Sir Cedric and Lady Hardwicke came from New York to play the lead in a drama that was produced depicting exploits of the Norwegians, in which the actual characters de- picted were played by the heroes themselves. This particular drama created quite a sensation in the United States and as a result radio station CKCL which did production and the pick-up received a citation from the United States Govern- ment "for distinguished service to the United States War effort." * * * Regular listeners to "Soldier's 'Wife" will be glad to hear that the program contract has been renewed for another twenty-six weeks. It will continue to be heard over the Canadian Broadcasting Corpor- ation network including CKCL from 1.1,30-11.9:5 a.ni. Monday through Friday. * * * Bob Hope, who is a favoured comedian of the United States Army, pulled one of radio's classic boners on a recent program. Broad- casting from a United States Army camp, he finished his broadcast, thought that he was off the air, turned around to the audience and said, "well, that was it, didn't it stink", thereby creating such a coast to coast laugh that the net- work announcers were hardly able to sign the program off. SUNDAY SCHOOL' LESSON Marsh 5 JESUS URGES HIS DIS- CIPLES TO WATCH Mark 23:1- PRINTED TEXT'—M37ark 13: 3- 10, 31.37, GOLDEN TEXT. -_ Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh.

Place—The Mount of Olives, directly east of, and opposite to, the city of Jerusalem. Questions Asked of : Jesus "And as he sat on the Mount of Olives over against the temple, Pe- ter and James and John and An- drew asked pini privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these' things are all about .to be accom- plished?" Their question divides itself into three parts. (1; When shall the destruction of the temple take place? (2) What shall be the sign of tliy conning? (3) What shall be the sign of the end of the world? Christ's First Warning "And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. Many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall lead many astray". The first ut- terance of Christ is a warning, a warning against deception, and a deception of the worst kind, per- taining to false religious leaders who will come in the name of Christ to deceive many. "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors or wars, be not, troub- led: these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against . nation, and kingdom against kingdoni; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines; these things are the beginning of tra- vail." Our Lord emphasizes'• first wars among men, then earthquakes, then famines and then distress. Most of all He seems to emphasize the multiplication of military conflicts. Three will be wors of nationalities One nation shall rise in its anger to come down upon another. (King- doms will rise up to put down kingdoms. How true this has been .in our age. As one kingdom is put down, so another rises in strength till that in due time is overcome. But He bids His disciples not to be troubled, and His words also apply to believers to -day. Such condi- tions were only the natural 'SC)urse of things—things that in the Divine purpose have to come. Christ's Second Warning "But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to 'councils; and in synagogues siThil yye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony tanto them." Christ's first warning was against deception and error in regard to the approach of the end.

POP—And Some Differently Shaped RE ALL CA GT 1 N THE SAIA'E NkoULA • 4 NONICLES e___ of GINGER FARMSy *wendaline* P, Clarke Winter has collie at lit—and with a vengeance, - as we have reason to know already. Yesterday I went to town—which of course was nothing unusual. Everyone its this district goes to town on Satur- day, Business of every kind is reserved, if possible, until the end of the 'week, Unless it is something special you don't bother. telephoning your friends about this and that through the week tecause you know you are sure to see them on Saturday. Yes, going to town on Saturday is almost an institution— although restricted buying and early closing has modified it consider- ably. But some things remain much the same . . . neighbour. still meets neighbour; there are two shows at the theatre each night; the library is open afternoon and evening: the local department store is as crowded as a city bar- gain basement; and any time there is an auction sale you can almost stake your reputation on the chance that it will be qn a Saturday. A week ago, for instance, I arrived in town about four -thirty. Crowd- ed! 1 There wasn't parking room anywhere within reasonable dis- tance of the stores. Cars were everywhere, but yet few people in the stores, I was mystified , . . and then I remembered, Of course an auction sale—one which included every kind of tool a man was likely to need either on or off a farm. So I suppose those who usually cane at night had come this week ija the afternoon instead. And I understand the bidding went just wild. , * * * But it is really yesterday I wanted to tell you about. Not only was there shopping to do, but there was also a matinee. For weeks. I had been longing to see "Lassie Come Home", Now it was here— but alas, so was the worst storm of 'the winter. Frankly I was dubious about going out at all. It was so cold, and the lane looked as if it night fill in any time, How- ever Partner assured me the snow was too light to give any trouble. Finally 1 decided to try my luck. I got through the lane all, right, failure in view of what will happen to the disciples personally, and within the Christian community. They would first be persecuted by the Jews, beaten in their syna- gogues, and then later, as Chris- tianity manifested increasing power, they would be persecuted by the governors• of the provinces and the Emperor of Rome himself. The Divine Purpose "And the gospel must first be preached unto all nations."' The Gospel must be preached through- out the world as a preparation for the end. This is in the Divine pur- pose, The Gospel has a world-wide destiny, and until that destiny is fulfilled, the `end' 'rill not be. Christ's Third Warning "Heaven and earth shall pass away,..And what I say unto you I say unto all, watch." No one knows when Christ will return, :lien who set dates for the end of this age and for the clay of our Lord's,return .are assuming to have wisdom be- • yond the wisdom of Jesus, Here we have Christ's third warning. The first against de- ception: the second against spirit- ual failure: the third against neg- ligence. It is the will of God that His' people should always live in readiness for the coming of the Lord. The Saviour realized His words were not for the Apostles alone, He was speaking, through then, to the people of every gen- eration and age. Every believer, however humble his place in the church, however"'untalented he may be, is included in the Master's call to watch, Third Party " Two twenty -year-old Canadian airmen in Britain wh,i have flown in raids on Berlin applied for a third -party insurance to ride a motorcycle. They were told that as they were under twenty-one they would have to get a letter from a re- sponsible person before they could be allowed to ride their own tno- toi'cycle, also to town, did my shopping, changed my books, and went to the show, "Lassie Come Home" will stay with me long after other shows -leave been forgotten. As you pro- bably know it is about a boy and his dog, There isn't much that one can add to that. The under- lying pathos in. the story is more in the things it doesn't tell than what it does, The little boy's mother sometimes appoars Ltd and unfeeling. But anyone with a knowledge of What the misery of unemployment can do to a family knows the hardness to be merely a cloak. to bide deeper emotions Don't miss -"Lassie Come Home —it is well worth seeing. Yes,. I even thought that when 1 came home and' found myself snowed out. The wind had changed The road was • all right, but oh dear, our lane .• , . Ten feet up the drive and I was hopelessly stuck. I knew shovelling was hopeless. There was only one thing for it— the team. But Partner was at the' barn. To go after lama meant facing the gale and wading through deep snow.. I quailed at the thought. Happily a neighbour carne along and offered to get Partner for ane. I accepted the offer with alacrity.. But it takes some time to harness a team and by the time Partner came to the rescue I was half frozen. However, horse power added to motor power soon made the grade—and it felt mighty good to be back in the house again, * * * That night the news spoke of Allied forces in Italy being hampered by gales and blizzards. I felt ashamed to think the dis- tance from the road to the house had seemed more than I could tackle.
