That makes nineteen years this year that Don has been harvesting the air- waves and reaping a not too bad Thing and incidentally reputation for so doing,'. *. * * You don't see his picture so much these clays, nor read write- ups about him in the press as once you did. Don has quieted down a trifle since the super -busy days of CICGW, C a n- ada's Cheerio Station, which, incidentally he 'was with for its entire life. Don made the first introductory a -n n o uncennent that officially put the station on the air. He announced its requiem when the Canadian Radio Commis- sion in the days of Hector Charlesworth, took it over to finally make it into the 50 kw CBI, of today. Don Copeland * * * • But Don is still busy in radio, and not altogether behind the scenes either. He finds more .,interest in the steadier side of the business, rather than in the big bouncing shows that hit the air with a wallop, last for a while and then sink into obscurity, Don, for instance, likes to talk on down- -to-earth matters to people . with whom making a living is a ser- ious business. " That's one reason he• enjoys a five -day -a -week stint df' talking to' fanners about farms and farming. That's his "Farmers' Forum" program on CKCI. Mon- day, through Friday at one -fifteen. Three days a week he follows .right on with a further fifteen min- iintes also on farm topics. But. then, Don used to be a fanner and learned what he knows about the • business the hard way, He chored in Manitoba, really got down to practical cultivation later on in„Saskatchewan, and homestead- ed inthose halcyon days when you could bet the Government ten dollars and three years of your life against 160 acres of bald- headed prairie that you wouldn't starve. to death before you got the property. • * a * He still -,'has a big soft spot in his heart for the guy who has to really dig for every diene, and that isn't only farmers, but bush workers and ditch diggers, too, for Don did that in his day. He knows the smell of a bunk. house in a logging or a construction camp as well as he knows his present address out in Scarborough, What did he do in those tamps, we asked him. IIe reeled off a list of jobs which made our Lead swine, from camp cookee, which includes a TOUGH GUY ON TOUR ,Amiable smile, brightening Jimmy Cagney's part belies his fame as sscree,dom's ace tough guy as he arrive) at Atnerican headquarters in London, He will tour Yank camps to entertain troops. complete course in pan scraping and garbage dumping, to saw filing, which is a delicate art not easily learned, Then there were years of survey work in the B.C. mountains, happy years, he says, which he wouldn't trade for much. * * * Don's done many many jobs in his day, and doesn't regret one of them, for in the past twenty Years, when so much of his time has been given to radio program production, as he says, every job he ever did has found- a place ultimately, and authoritatively in a' radio script. , And he's written lots of them— frons hour•length thrillers to "flash" announcements. He's still rather proud of his series of Canadian History drainatizations produced years ago for the Imperial Tobacco Co. They pioneered that style of program in Canada. But then, Don pioneered a dozen styles of program in those days. * * * Currently, as well as the Farm show at noons on CKCL, he is radio reporting the- Country News program on the same station Thurs- day's at 7.30 p.nt, for Wilson Pub- lishing Co. If you want • to hear • that pleasing cheerful voice that made the word "Cheerio" • famous from Coast to Coast in Canada, listen in then. He'll; maybe be talking about your home town. The Book Shelf The Farmer's Animals By Frank H. Garner In war we realize that we may' owe our existence to farmers: but the fanners could not:have fed us as tl1 y have; lt::.0 ti t:y n•ork :+ on Happy-go-lucky Farms. The beasts' that stray across our holiday •coon- tryside are factors in farming all the year round, as important as plough, or reaper, or :tractor. ,.Any good farm is a unit; demand- ing skilful management and fore- sight, constantly increasing exper- ience, science, and business, If the future of farming is to become what it deserves, the citizens' merely ro-. mantic attitude frust expand to one of understanding. In Mr. Garner's book is to be found accurate (not woolly) infor- mation about the management and breeding of the chief of the farmer's animals—cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, and goats. The book will be pro- nounced simple, straightforward, up-to-date, and reliable. It is in- tended to arouse interest in the very facts, and, being a book of facts it is also practical—a book for the citizen and for youngsters: and - also good sound groundwork for any young farmer. The 16 photo- graphs have been very carefully chosen and annotated and are an important part of the whole, The Farmer's Animals . . By Frank H. Garnet... The Macmil- lan Company of Canada . , .

You remember some tirne ago we heard that 35 square miles on the south-west coast of England were to be evacuated and to be ttsed as a training school for U.S. 'Troops?. We did'nt pay very Much attention to that item of • news, did we? And yet it meant that nearly 200 fauns were being evacuated,. 8000 'people and several thousand head of livestock! How .would we, in Canada, like a govern- , anent order like .that? And how should we react? 5 Here is an item that tickled my sense of humour. An irate farmer wrote to the press complaining be- cause Government officials and Board of Inspectors had visited his farm and all were wearing Tong rubber boots, while he, the farmer, had found it impossible to -buy rubber boots for love or money. I can imagine a few of the com- ments if such a thing were to hap- pen around here. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON March 19 JESUS CRUCIFIED Mark 15: 21-47. PRINTED TEXT—Mark 15:22-39 GOLDEN TEXT. — He • was wounded for our' transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was up- on him; and with his stripes we are healed.

The Crucifixion of Christ • "And they bring hint unto the place Golgotha, which is, being' in- terpreted, the place of the skull. And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not." Myrrhwas died,.mixed with wine, to numb the pain of those about to be crucified:" But Jesus refused to drink it, because he would not lighten His sufferings or -lesson His vx ,r iy for our salvation. And they crucified him. And parted his garments among thein, casting lots upon them, which each should take And it was the third hour, and they ' cruicilfed''birn." - Our Lord passively allowed Him- self to suffer this cruel. death 'for. our sakes. Although the Lord of alt power, IIe withheld His power, permitting man to do his worst. The Roman soldiers believed they had crucified a fanatic, a false claimant to kingship. Little did they 'realize they were the iustru ments in Gocl's hand of bringing about the death of One whose Blood was to atone for the sin of the world. To them it was just an ordinary criminal's death, such as they had often taken part in. They knew not the stupendous issue de- pendent on the death of Christi. The Superscription "And the superscription of his accusation was written over, the King of the Jews." In these words Pilate sets it down as a simple fact that Jesus is indeed the King of the Jews, This accusation is at the sainetime -a vindication. The Crowds at the Cross "And with hint they crucified two robbers. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and be- lieve." At last they feel they have proved the limit of power. He is ,now a weak, helpless, doomed Be- ing who is beyond all power of • escaping. death. They challenged 1>idt to conte down front the Cross. Hiecould have done even that, but. He hacl a far more important work in hand than merely to display His Divine 'power, In that hour He dotilcl not save Himself and us at the same time, He came into the world to save sinners, and only Looking like a double for "Old Bill," Bruce Bairnsfather's famous cartoon character of World War 1, Capt. Perry Cadegan of Glace Bay, N.S., squats with a field telephone somewhere in Italy. Capt. Cadegan of Canadian unit of 8th Army, refuses to trim handlebar mustachios for duration, by His Self -offering upon the Cross could He accomplish His Mission. The Cry from the Cross "And when the sixth hour was come; there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour... let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down." It was' just about the hour of the evening sacrifice when our Lord uttered this loud cry of desolation. This terrible cry reveals the depth of human and, spiritual anguish suffered by our Lord. It is the cry of one who has lost, for the time being, the sense of fellowship with God. But it has been observ- ed that even in uttering this cry of desolation Jesus did not let go His trust in God, for he calls out 'My God, my God.' Deadly thirst ad- ded to the awful pangs of crucifix- ion. Vinegar was the sour wine drunk by laborers in the field. A drink of this kind was kept ready for sufferers. Elijah was regarded as a deliverer in time of trouble. The Death of Christ "And J esus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost." The loud cry uttered by Jesus when dying is considered the loud triumphant voice of a Conqueror. ' There was nothing compulsory in His death; it was a voluntary giving up all the time He hung upon the cross, and this was why He was deaf to the taunt to save Himself, He yielded up 11is spirit and thus gave I1im- self for our. sins. "And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom." In the temple,' the Holy Place was separated from the Most Holy by a curtain. Norte but the high priest aright pass that curtain, and he only once a year. The curtain being rent in two was a sign that no longer do' we have to stand without the veli, but in our own secret chamber we have direct access to the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ. - The Centurion's Confession "And when the centurion;,•wha, stood by over against him, saw, that , he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God." This centurion ,a pagan soldier, did not need Christ to come down from the cross to prove His Deity: it showed out in His triump- hant death as he exclaimed with awe 'truly this Man was the ;SSan of God.' 1 BALLERINA 4.444444.44444444441 HORIZONTAL 1,5 Pictured ballerina. 11 Guide. 12 Physical emptiness. 14 Toward. 15 Upright shaft. 16 Danger, 17 Half an em. 20 Each (abbr.). 22 Melt, 25 Black bird. 27 Verbal, 29 Youthful. 31 Erbium (symbol). 32 Compass point 33 Doctor (abbr.) •34 Him. 35 Local position, 37 The' earth. 39 Nonaspirate. 40 Strong thread. 43 Vegetables. 45 Courtesy title. 46 Aged. 48 Perform. 50 Crystallized Ans'ner to Previous Puzzle ANDREW CARN EG E NEARS w E ROS -AIV E0 SP1 LLA ANC T -0.-;;E ARA PES-: ©AR G.$p UPSTARTS ANDREW LEAN N0 D E N GCARN EGIE ARRESTIEDOE. :ADS fiI�AT S.nNA A TIT SE L; P 1 chemical 4 Skill: substance., 5 Sharp hissing 52 Falsehoodsound, 54 Within. 6 Unit. 55 Send out rays, 7 Make rare, 57 Splendor. 8 Genus of 59 She is a -- dolphinlike dancer. cetaceans. 60 Depend. 9 Nothing.
