One of the fav- ourite programmes in Latin -America is one where bashful men propose marriage to their girl friends on a radio programme. It's listening audience is terrific. You probably wonder how the proposer could know the object of his affection is listening in. On enquiring, we found out the Radio Stations put advertisements in the newspapers, listing the names of the people to be proposed to. One of the local producers, will no doubt steal this before long. 1, * * Keep Fighting• Fit, a new pro- gramme presented by the District Cadet Officer of Military District Number 2, Major C. E. Read, MC, is a new physical training program- nee- which is being heard over a number. of Ontario Stations, CICCL Monday thru Saturday, 7.30 a.m. The programme Keep Fighting Fit is as far removed from the old type of physical training as day is from night. Most of you remember when 3 lad used to sit in the office of an insurance company, in New York and go for hours. The new army programme conducted by Doc Lind- say; well known radio announcer who is now a Lieutenant in the army, is strictly streamlined and with the background of cadets from the Collegiate Institutes, will really help to "Keep Fighting Fit." * * * Mr, Vincent Lopez, veteran musical director, was one of the first Network Radio Broadcasts to be brought into Canada.

Burke in letter to the Atlantic Monthly Sir:—F.P.A.'s discourse on Hand- bagitis in the December, 1943, At- lantic reminds me of a routine we had years ago in Chicago to describe a woman paying her fare on a street car. • When the conductor came for her nickel: She opened her bag and took out her purse and closed the bag and opened her purse and took out a ten -dollar bill and closed her purse and opened her bag and drop- ped in her purse and closed the bag and handed the conductor ten dollars. He gave ,icer back the change. • She opened Iter bag and took out her purse attd • closed the bag and opened her purse and dropped in the change and closed her purse and opened her bag and dropped in the purse and closed the bag and found she was two blocks beyond her destination. When The Piper's Bill Is Presented Social security, and the social services which must provide that security, cost utoney, vast amounts of it where such projects are na- tional in scope, says the Hamilton Spectator, In the large, these funds must conte from the pockets of the purple: they benefit, where de- serving, and consequently they are expected t:, pay. Every social ad- vance means additional tax levies of some kind or other, for that i3 the price of socialization. If that cardinal fact is appreciated by those who press for greater measures of anteliora'ion, then no sense of shock should he experienced when the piper's i'is is presented.

Yes, that would, be very nice --• but it can't happen lure —nor I imagine, could it happen on any- other farts. * * For instance — do you hear that hammering and banging and saw- ing going on around here? And do you notice that every door in the house opens and shuts at irregular intervals? Very distracting, of course, but I really dott't mind, because you see, it is all a means tc an end. Yes, at long last we t re having a furnace .installed. We caste to the condition that a fur- nace would be more economical and far more satisfactory than our present rneth5d of heating the house with three stoves. Did I say heating? That was, a misnomer. We keep three stoves , going and heat a small area in the immediate vicinity of the stoves aid tliat is about all. Open the ball •door and you step into Arctic region. This house, you see, is so arranged that the pipe from only one stove can be carried through to the upstairs. The others go straight- into the chimney. Thus a lot of heat is going to was -teed And as for the work, I honestly believe a third' of my titheis spent malting up fires and emptying ashes — to say nothing of the dusting that this method of firing entails and which doesn't get done half the time. As for my hands, the skin is pretty nearly washed offthem. ' You know how it is; you sit down to do a bit of sewing and 'trending. Presently you begin to feel chilly and you realize the living -roost fire needs tending. You see to that wash your hands, and settle down again. A little while later you think the kitllien stove may need:fixing. It sure docs — in fact it is nearly out. A trip to the woodshed — a few chips—down to the cellar for more coal — wait around for a bit to make sure your fire will get up — wash your hands again and then back to your mending. By this time, fifteen or twenty minutes have gone by -in which time you could have darned a couple of pair of socks. s: * * Maybe you will say a furnace has its drawbacks too. I don't doubt it, but that is something I have yet to iiscuver. Partner tells me I must learn to run the furnace myself because when he is at the barn so much he doesn's v, ant mee to rely on him to see to it. 'There is only one objection I can see toe that. I won't have anyone to blame if the house is either too hot o: too cold. * * * But the furnace has not been the anly excitement around here this last few days.

No, the hens are rolling out the eggs faster than industry can build cases to hold them. But the point is, egg cases, like money-, should be kept in circulation. And apparently they are not. It is my guess that somewhere along the line egg cases are being broken up an i burnt. It's like this, The egg grading station supplies crates to the farmers; the' farmer sends his eggs back in the cases. The grader sorts and grades the eggs and ships theta to retail stores and to Montreal. The cases are not returned, so, more cases have to be made all the time and, with the labour shortage, that really means something, Now you tell tie—what hap,,ens to the cases .that are shipped out?

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The exact chronology of the Apostle Paul's life is difficult, and different opinions are held by different scholars. Approximately one may say that Saul of Tarsus was born in A.D. I. His conver- sion took place abou. A.D. 35. His last visit to: Jerusalem was in A.D. 58, and his 'defense before Agrippa in A.D. 60.' The Apostle was be- headed A.D. 64.-, Place.—The conversion of Paul, a d the events immediately follow- ing, took place near and in the city of Damascus, in Syria, some- times called the oldest city in the v. irld. SauI's defense before the multitude in the temple occurred, of course, in ,erusalern, His' address tc. Agrippa was g'ven in Caesarea, a great city on 'the Syrian coast. Saul's Persecution Of The Church "Saul of Tarsus before 1 -is con- version. But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, •went unto the high priest, and asked of hint letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the way, whether Wren or women, he 'night bring them bound unto' Jerusalem." Saul, later the Apostle. Paul, first appears in New Testament records as a young marc stashing near while Stephen was stoned (Acts 7: 53), we have a brief but vivid account of Saul's terrible persecution of the Church (Acts 3: 1-3). The great min- istry of Philip is then ree:orded and Saul reappears, still fiercely pur- suing Christians everywhere, We find lint now on the way from Jerusalem to Damascus. Saul's Conversion "And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone rotund about him a light out of heaven." Why 1'1as such a super- natural manifestation at this time? Because this was needed to arrest this strong-willed man, Saul. He could only be startled and arrested by' something which he knew, with, otitdoubt, came from God, Saul Knows The Truth "Anel he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, wiry persecutest thou 'nye? And he said, who art thou, Lord?" In` that moment the truth was breaking upon the mind of this man, and ere he knew it he had `FIRSTS' l 11NAIO' se cis..

"And he said, I am Jesus whom those persecutest. It is hard for thee to Irick against the goad." Christ told him that he was like the stupid oxen kicking against the goad, in refusing to do what they Isere 'ordered to do, only inflicting suffering upon themselves. Saul Yields To Christ "But rise and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men that jour- neyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man." Paul is immediately a man yielded to Christ and front that day to the day he died, he was ever seeking to know and to do the will of his Lord. "And Saul arose from the earth .and when his eye's were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by th0 hand, and wrought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink." Bu though it was dark without, it was bright within Saul's innermost being. Christ's Commandment "But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man , , . . for. I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake." When Ananias reminded, the Lord that this matt Saul was ea hater of the Christian faith the Lord told him neverthe- less to go an: do as he was com- ntauded, for Saul was indeed for' God a chosen vessel to proclaim ,His name, "And Ananias departed ....,!'s'and • be filled with the 'holy 'Spttit," Saul was met in a loving"and trtast fail spirit. _ H.e learned that . he was 'rot to be treated as a solitary out east, and new friends ' were • ready to welcome him., "And straightway there fell from his eyes as• it went: scales, and he ,.° • received his sight, And he arose and was baptized., And. he .took • food and was strengthened." Saul was imtnediatel3 received as a true` believer among the company of Christians then residing in Dam- ascus. Man's True Course 'The nature of this appearance of Christ." Man's true course is to strive and ascertain whether he is following, obeying' ano loving Gud. .God awakens some, as He aia Paul, by an awful catastrophe; others grow up before Him from infancy like Samuel and Timothy; others God gradually changes from sin and worldliness to peace and righteousness like Jacob of old time, 20,000,000 Parcels Since Dunkirk, the British post office has despatch.d 20,000,000 par- cels to British prisoners of war in Europe, it was announced last week.
