IN MEXICO/
ARIL 30, I963.
THE Foreign Legion put up one of its most courageous fights at
Jaya, Mexico. Napoleon had sent the legion to Mexico with Maxier
milian, and on Alai 30, 1863, 65 legionnaires successfully fought
off a Mexican cavalry,, killing several thousand men.

!RADIO REPORTS
It has not happened here yet,
but it may soon.. 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.

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

to New York to make the neces-
sary arrangements. The first. NBC
',programme to be heard in Canada
was the broadcast made by tate late
Rant. ey McDonald, who was then
Prime Minister at England. He
was in the United States paying
a visit to President hoover and
the :I'cicprain -obtained this broad,,
sa.t for CKGW, which was con-
sidered to be "tile event" in radio
up to that tittle. Your columnist

his broadcasts heard in 'Tonto,

The Toronto Maple Leaf Base-
ball games• will be heard again
over CKCL, Toronto, this year
with yours truly at the microphone,
and this .by the way is my thir-
teenth •season. We remember back
in 1930 we were going to retire
from broadcasting baseball, but be-
cause of the entertainment it pro-
vides our Armed forces it looks as
if we will have to last out the war.
The first baseball broadcast will
come early in April.
Handbagitis
L. C. 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.

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

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.

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

day of last week a government

Ilere is something I want to

a bottleneck in the egg business—
lost not among the hens. 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

SAUL BECOMES A NEW
MAN
Acts 9: 1-19; 22: 6-16; 26: 12-20
PRINTED TEXT. Acts 9: 1-9,
13-19a. ,
GOLDEN TEXT.—If any man

Memory Verse: Be ye kind.

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

yielded himself to the one who
had spoken out of the eternal light,
He was in the presence of supre-
nracy and he admitted it as he said,
'Lord'.
"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,
