CHRONICLES ' By of GINGER FARM Gwendollne+ P, Clarke We had a surprise this week— 'and a very ,pleasant one; A tele- phone call front Toronto , , and our son's. voice saying he was 'on his way home, We knew he Was true kr a furlough but had not ex- pected hila so soon. And he arrived just as Partner was ready to star: on the land — so we had 'someone to drive the tractor for us after all. Of course we thought our seeding would be finished in -double quid* time. But no — one field was too wet to Work, and then (before it had a chance to dry it rained again. So Isere we are with one field partly sown and that is all. On Monday son Bob leaves :tor Quebec, He has a feeling that if the invasion gets underway it is uite possible men on furlough may tat recalled. And when a visit to your best girl is at stake there is no sense in taking chances. Imagine a fellow 1>ehig recalled before h* had had a efiance to see his girl. Being a soldier is a tough business h aotuetimes, isn;t. it? • * 4 Bye• the way Bob was very much amused at his sister and I think- ing him- "safe" as long as he was -on }Vancouver Island and not over- seas. By -the time he had finished telling me a few things I realised Slat all the casualties are not on the battlefield. It put me in mind of a stupid little rhyme 1 used to say as a child, — especially if I were up to some sort of mischief—"If my another only knew, her heart would surely break in two". Our boys in training —and on operational duty, as Bob is — niight often think that—and with some reason. $ * * Our spring flowers are just coin - Mg into bloom with store buds showing than I have seen for a good many years. We have deifies and narcissi along the edge of the border from One end of the gar- den to the other. And they are really lovely. Then come the :roweling shrubs but after they are done our garden has little to commend 'it because I have so little time to attend to it. Yester- day I visited a nursery in search of .ornamental evergreens and shrubs ---but it was raining and too wet for digging, so I just had to go ptalogue shopping, and that didn't get me far as what I wanted was growing but not listed. WINGED STAR 'First Lt. Tyrone Power, who re- ,centy won his wings as a Ma., ,rine Corps flyer, is pictured above: at the controls of a training plane at the Naval Air Training Center, eCorptis Christi, Tex, Won't it be nice when everyone has time again to do the thinks he or she wants to do; to get help when it is needed and to spend a few hours in the garden at Will? As it is one can only take time to do what is absoletely necessary for ordinary tidiness—to cut the grass and keep weeds from developing into a miniature forest. Even that takes considerable time, I realized that yesterday as •I raked and mowed the lawn for the' first time this year. Ors new puppy helped me with the job. He is getting to be quite a dog and losing a lot of his timidity. There I go again—calling it "He". I am afraid I shall never . remember to call it "She". However, whether I call it he, she or it, you will know it is still the same little dog. Oh, and by the way we are going to call it "Tip" or""Tippy.". Not Lassie, be- cause Partner thinks, Lassie is a hard name to call. So Tip it will be—on account of the little white tip he has onethe end of his tail—and it is a name applicable to either sex so that lets me out on that score. * * * The •chickens are. having a great time. ' They have the run of the farm for the first time today. They have been. Limited to an outside scratch -pen until now. But am I going to have a problem from now on to see that Tippy treats the chickens with respect. Last night we were feeding the hens, Tippy and I, and all at once she started growling and barking ("she" that time.) I looked around to see what all the fuss was• about and there was a neighbour dog in the yard—a big,. full grown collie. He stopped . . . Tippy stood rigid, still growling. Presently the big dog turned tail and fled. It was too funny for words. If you could only have seen the difference in the size of the two dogs. Dignity and Impudence—and Innpudence won ant, * * * . I am typing and talking to Bob a' the same time. He just told me that he ran into Major .Paul Triquet, V.C. in B,C.—quite by accident, and was talking to him for a few minutes, Quite interesting, eh? $64 Question Writing in the Toronto Tele- gram, Thomas' Richard I1enry thinks the following a pretty fair $64 question: "Why is it that when you pull the plug in a wash basin, the water always swirls out clock- wise? lir. Henry has often watch- ed it, wondering why it wouldn't swirl the oppositeway just once. We forget the precise physical ex- planation, but we scent to remem- ber hearing that it docs swirl coun- ter -clockwise in the lands south of the equator. — Kingston' Whig - 'Standard, rd, S V 111 DA..Y S.

So let's introduce the same per- son under the name of LADDIE DENNIS, and go on from there. • er 4 * - Laddie is the pretty, young Wo- man announcer with CKCL, .To- ronto, Born in •Winnipeg, Man- itoba, in 1920 of an English mot- her and French father,r Laddie first, showed her defiant spirit by uttering, as her very first words, "there now", At the ripe old age of two herfancily moved down to the heart of the cornbelt in Spring- field, Ohio, where . Laddie re- mained untli she was thirteen, and from there to Montreal, . Quebec, where her father and mother still . live. A lively tomboy type,_, Laddie always enjoyed dramatics—taking part in school plays on every occasion. She attempted play - writing for the first time in her life when in her first year at Thomas D'Arcy McGee High School in Montreal. It was a AWARDED BAR TO DSO Brigadier E. L. Booth, D.S.O. of Toronto, who has been awarded the Bar to the Distinguished Service Order, for valor in the Italian cam- paign, three -act play based on "The Le- gend of Sleepy Hollow", and it was successfully produced at the school. a , After High School, Laddie spent three years mechanically typing eight hours a day in a 4ara ;.,fjain, Winle- .her.. thoughts were pre -occupied in her first 'love--drau4ties. Most of 'her evenings were spent at the Alon- • treal Repertoire School of the Theatre, taking classes in voice, interpretation, make-up and body- technique,- Laddie was associated with several Little Theatre groups in Montreal. Then her thoughts 'turned to radio, and so she took private dramatic lessons from Eleanor Nichol of CBM, on radio technique, diction, etc. Her first radio -break came in a Summer series of dramatics over CKAC. Laddie headed for Toronto in the Autumn of 1042 and has been in the Queen City ever since, In- side of two months she got her first program of her own . , a fifteen -minute program three mornings a week over CFRB. Along with that she did free- lance dramatic work over the CB C. In June of 1943 slie auditioned for an announcer's position with CKCL, was selected from a group of hopeful young aspirants, and thus becaine, as far as we 'know, the first full-time Commercial woman announcer in Toronto. Laddie says announcing appealed to her because she was told that there would be a crisis every twenty-nniaiutes or so, and that's what she thrives on, As for hobbies, in addition to threatrc work Laddie plays a prety fair ,game of golf, and likes nothing better than to do a bit of Horse -back riding . . , and when she can't ride 'em she says she would like to play 'ens. Laddie is a good swimmer, except when there's a handsome Lifeguard around , . , and then site suddenly loses her aquatic abilities and shouts for help, given us His spirit as a pledge (Or earnest) of future glory. The Power of Hope "Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at hone in the body,. we are absent from the Lord (for we walk by faith, not by sight); we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at'home .isith the Lord." Tlie Agrstle is more than willing to leave his earthly taber- nacle because he desires to be with Christ. If death caste before the Coming of His Lord, Paul was ready to accept death; for even though it does not bring with it the glory of the resurrection body he will be at home with Christ among the souls who wait for the resurrection. True Minister of Christ "For the love of Christ con- straineth us , but unto trim who for their sakes died and rose again.". It should be clearly noted that the love of Christ referred to here is that love which led Hirai to die for us on the cross. Wherever a definite manifestation of Christ's love is referred to the cross also is ever mentioned, The love that constraineth us is the, love that died, and died for all because it died for each. "Wherefore we henceforth knave no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know loin so tuo more." Now, since seeing Christ face to face; Paul was -freed frons his knowledge of Christ after the flesh, now he knew Hirai as the risen, glorified Saviour. The Spirit of God "Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; be- hold, they are become new." When the Spirit of God comes into our hearts ratan sees everything in a new light. Old ideas, aims, stand- ards pass when we become united to Christ. In true conversion there is a change so complete that it is nothing less than a new creation wrought by the mighty power . of the Spirit. • "But all things are of God, . . and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation." A full rev- ' elation of the love of God in Christ having been made to the Apostles it was ordained that by theist and through them the truth should be made known to all sten every- where.
