It looks like a goad romp in the snow on the other side, but bars make awfully tough eating. I CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM sy Gwendollne P. • s • Clarke s e 'Conte wind, come weather" I still have a feeling that spring is hiding somewhere just around the corner. I think that, because, in spite ,of the snow covered ground, the birds, who are wiser than we are, are acting quite differently these days. They chatter away among themselves and shote a lot • more activity than they did a month ago. 'There is a little white -breasted nuthatch on the front lawn interests nee tremendously. He is a happy little fellow, Some- times he perches on the window- ' sill for a second or two, takes a :.'eek through the window and then away he goes again. Next time •I see hire he is hunting a meal from the bark of the popular tree. .The tree is quite close to the house so, by keeping well ' back from the window, I can watch the antics of the nuthatch without his being aware of it. * N< 'And of course there are plenty of sparrows and an odd starling or two — and I like to watch them toe. The starlings seem to be gathering up Jesting material. It seems a little early for that but then maybe they have heard of the acute housing shortage and it may be that they think that even the birds of the air should take some thought for the morrow. Yes, Mrs, Starling, it might be a good idea to look around because, if you should fly, dowzi to the road, you will findPthat the mailbox in which you so persistently took up living quarters last year has been removed. A bigger and better box has been installed instead, and one to which you, Mrs. Star- ling, will find it impossible to get into. * * K It would seem the horses and other Iivestock have also a feeling of spring. The cows and heifers' are gambolling about in the sun like young things. Yes, even nineteen -year-old Cicely was kick- ing up her heels this morning. And then, when I sae down to write just now, I looked across the front field and there was our neighbour's three year old colt leading its owner a merry chase across our field. I watched to se.. what would happen and it wasn't long before the colt took the tence like a hunter. Well, maybe not quite like a hun- ter because he must have touched the top wire, as I notice one fence - post is leaning towards the lane at a drunken angle. * * x: The squirrels, have been having quite a time too, The other day when there was • so much fresh, soft snow, I thought `I saw some- thing dark' iineving in the snow— you know how you sort of see things out of the corner of your eye—and then I looked again and saw nothing, But I kept watching and presently out " of the deep snow jumped a little black squirrel. TITO TODAY Rarely photographed Marshal Joaip ("Tito") Broz, Yugoslav Partisan guerrilla leader, is shown above In his latest picture. And did he eve' have a time get» ting where he wanted to go. We, too, have been having a time getting where we wanted to go--• and there were times when we were not so successful as the squirrel, Nearly every afternoon Partner would hitch the team to the car and we would open up the lane that way ready for the morning, And then in the night the Wind would blow—or there would come more snow—and our newly made track would be all filled in again, Finally Dame Nature relented and gave us a partial thaw, so now, with reason- able care, we can get in and out with out too much trouble. Fall Fairs Restored To Original Purpose Speaking at the annual conven- tion of the Class "B" Fairs As- sociation in Toronto, Dr. G. I, Christie, president of the O.A.C., Guelph, emphasized the necessity of keeping Fall fairs active dur- ing the war, "It would have been a great calamity to discontinue these fairs", said Dr, Christie. "The people wanted them, the war ef- fort needed them and war pro- duction has increased because of them." Dr. Christie expressed the view that wartime conditions have pro- duced great .rnproveanent in these fairs from an agricultural standpoint and have restored them to their original purpose. He also referred to the effect of rural fairs on the improvement of live stock and particularly to the growing interest of farm youth in them. He hoped the Canadian National Exhibition, the Royal Winter Fair, Ottawa Exhibition, and other large shows .,.would be resumed as soon as pos- sible because thee• Were neeied, I n his, address, Dr. Christie ' n- drmnt d the prat:i. e of show herds travelling all over the province winning the prizes at every fair, and urged the fair di- rectors to concentrate on bring- ing out the best live stock in their own neighborhoods.

And all that was Left when living was through b'lras a mountain _of things he in- tended to do Tomorrow: --Canadian Congress Journal, RADIO REPORTER BALEAUY Three hundred people repre- senting the broadcasting industry of Canada. with guests from the United !states gathered in a four * a, Glen Bannerman r * day conference at the Chateau"Pron- tenac, Quebec and out of it may come a new deal of :freedom" for: Canadian broadcasting. In his opening speech, which keynoted the conference, Glen Bannerman, who was re-elected President of the Canadian Assoc-. iation of Broadcasters, said, before presenting his plan for a three-man Board of Commissioners, "I am con- winced the present system of broad - cutting '.bus, over recent years, developed a trend dangerous to the best interests of the citizens of Canadaand of broadcasting. There' ig a real danger that you are being placed in a position where it is gradually becoming impossible for yoti to meet your obligations to your fellow citizens in your com- munities, There is a distinct danger to freedom of the air, to freedom of speech and to the exchange of ideas, 'The system is becoming too centralized — too monopolistic and too cumbersome for the rapid changes and developments in broadcasting. There is so much machinery to the systern that it takes far laic long to make' neces- sary.changes and adjustments, To - .day 'there is a continual struggle going on, not only on your part, but also within the CBC itself to prevent the•present system front becoming too rigid, and circum- scribed. ':mess changes in the •syste}n are made in the near .future, I believe the struggle will be lost". It is inevitable that the struggle ^between private interests of Can- artd Government owned ,systems will eventually come to a heed, but in the opinion of those attending the convention the day, that the privately owned station is killed off, will be the day that sounds the death knell of Can- adian radio: • SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON MARCH 12 JESUS BETRAYED, DENIED AND CONDEMNED Mark 14:10.-15: 20 PRINTED '2EXT, Mark 14: 105, 11, 53, 54, 66-72; 15: 12-15 GOLDEN TEXT — He was despised and rejected of men; ,a man of sorrows, and acquainted 'with grief.

The trial before the Jewish authorities was held in the building where the Sanhedrin met, though what building this was we do not know, The trial before Pontius Pilate was held in the palace of the Governor in the city of Jerusalem. Judas, The Betrayer "And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them. And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money, And he sought how he might con- veniently deliver him unto theme" Observe the awful wickedness of the traitor. It is no sudden temp- tation under which be falls. He deliberately seeks the opportunity first of selling, and then of betray - His Master. This is the crowning act of a course of cove- tousness and dishonesty. Plans Are Made "And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come toe gether'tvith hive all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes, And Peter had followed hint afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire." How carefully everything was planned! Although it is night the Jewish cieuncil is already assembled. waiting to receive their prisoner. The object of the meeting was to find legal ground for putting Jesus to death and justify them before the law. Peter's Denial of Christ 'And as Peter was beneath in the ecurt and when he thought thereon, he wept." While Peter warms himself, he is sudden- i� ;:hallenged by the maid as being dieczple of Jesus. Peter disowns it knowledge of the Nazarene, all COnSCl0n5ness even ft what the charge meant. Then i?eter heard the cork crow, but it did not sue - cad in ""touching his heart Anuthet maid accused him, and then a third. Peter's second denial a as uttered • with an oath; he blasphemed taking the name of Gott in vain From a deceitful evasive answer the apostle goes on to denial with asa oath, and then to cursing and swearing Peter loved the Lord, but in this hour fear dominated; love was put aside. When .the cock crew twice, the warning of Jesus, :the love and compassion of his Lord, came flooding into his heart. .The Lord has ieen beaten; Peter had not been touched. The Lord had been betrayed; Peter was safe.

And they cried out again, Crucify him, And Pilate said unto them, why, what evil hath 'he done? Ptit• they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him." - To ask the accusing party what should be done to Christ was a grave injustice to Him. Pilate was deciding against Christ when he tried to thro• the responsibility on others. Having appealed in vain to their ercy he now appeals to their justice. But equally in vain They only cried out more for his death. We find from John's gospel (19:1.1j that the Jews threa- tened Pilate with the Emperor's displeasure if he let J esus go. Had he been a just ruiei he would have done justice to the innocent at tvhat- ez er risk to himself.
