TONER, - Ontario Federation of Anglers, (NO, 34) FOR ALL, ENEMIES In my .discusslon on birds for several weeks past I have been atreasing. the ..relations between a predator and its prey. That is, animals or birds that feed on other creatures are said to be predatory or predators while the anitrtals upon which they feed are known as prey. The wolf is a pre- dator on the deer, while the deeer is the wolf's prey. We are just beginning bo understand many of the relations that exist be- tween predator and prey but it 'has been suggested that to have a healthy stock of any animal it is' necessary to have a predator feeding upon it. We have a fairly good stock of deer in many areas of Ontario. In some places they might be said to he abundant. Like every other creature on earth they are sub- ject to disease, accidents and old age. One of the ways among human' kind to control disease is to isolate the sufferers. This can- not be done in the wilds so nature has substituted a predator, the wolf, to keep, the herd healthy. Wolves kill and eat the diseased, the maimed and the old. It may seem cruel in human eyes but it is nature's method of keeping a healthy 'stock of deer. Maybe Mice Are ,Necessary There is a similiar situation in the relations between predatory birds, hawks and owls, and mice. Of course, we do not want mice like we want deer but as they are fest breeding, little animals they occasiodally become very numer- ous and must be controlled. Na- ture is never at a loss so when the mice become very abundant disease will break out among then. This disease may be such that it will spread to other crea- tures so it seems to the that na- ttue reserves disease as a last resort in the control of her small- er creatures. Hawks and owls are the normal predators that keep the population of mice be- low the level where disease ap- pears and wipes them out. So, as I said above, it seems to be necessary for every crea- ture to have the proper enemies. Normal predation means that na- ture does not have to resort to more drastic forms of control, such as disease which if allowed to spread night wipe out the ani- mals almost entirely as has hap- peiied in some parts of the world, This might be desirable from -man's point of view but mics have their uses in the scheme of things and we might find that we needed them if they disappeared completely.

THE WAR •WEE K --Commentary on Current Events NAZI SPRING OFFENSIVE IS DEVELOPING, RAPIDLY Activity stepped up sharply on all fronts last week in the war between Britain and Germany. The long-awaited Nazi spring of- fensive appeared to be under wajr, spurred by fast approach- ing spring weather and the pas- sage in the United States of the gigantic British -aid bill. On tho side of Britain, vast preparations were being made for counter-of- fonsives wherever the Nazi ma- chine attacked—ion land, sea, or air; or on the diplomatic or econ- omic fronts. Balkan Front The air war over Britain was resumed, its intensity in many instances equalling the frightful days of last September when casualties were highest. The war on the sea grew steadily more serious (Britain lost 148,038 tons of shipping the last week in February). But the biggest de- velopments, from the military point of view, were shaping up in the Balkan peninsula where the chief belligerents were align- ing their forces in readiness for the battle of the eastern Mediter- ranean. Yugoslavia and Turkey had not yet joined fight. Yugo- slavia's problem was far from easy, since she was all but sur- rounded by Axis forces. A di- rect challenge to Hitler could mean her quick extermination as a nation. Her answer to Axis demands evidently depended to considerable degree on what sup- port Britain gave Greece. The same could be said, possibly, of Turkey who waited also to seo what Yugoslavia would do and how the Soviet Union was going to take it all, Turkey Can Take It Writing on the Balkan situa- tion, Associated Press correspon- dent Dewitt Mackenzie said: "Greece might fall, and Yugo- slavia be compelled bo acquiesce in Hitler's southward sweep, but if the Turks hold to their alliance with Britain and stand astride the Dardanelles, tho Attglo-Al- lied cause isn't likely to suffer irreparable disaster in that the- atre of war. Should the Turks by any chance go over to the Germans, however, it might mean the loss of the Battle of the Mediterranean for the British , . If the Turks fight, they should be able to put up a very strong defence. The Turco -Bulgarian border not only is protected by mountains, but is strongly forti- fied. To the south, between European and Asiatic Turkey,. runs the Dardanelles, one of the most powerful strategic positions in the world. This, too, is heav- ily fortified." And last week the Turks learned that their north- eastern frontiers were safe from any encroachment by the Soviet Union should they choose to fight on the British side against the Axis, Might Turn Against Russia Highly -informed opinion in the United States last week advanced the theory that Hitler, instead of fighting his way via the Dardan- elles through Turkey to the Middle East might turn against Russia and seize the rich Ukraine, moving onward to the Caspian Sea and the Russian oil -fields, Be that as it may, grave alarm was felt in Moscow over the mas- sing of German forces in a threatening manner on Russian borders all the ,way from the Baltic to the Black Sea (a mil- lion Rumanians were said to be lined up, "their fields left un - tilled," along the common bor- der with the Soviet Union). News came ,of Russian troop move- ments in the Caticasus, coincid- ent with the strengthening of Red Army forces along the .Prut- River frontier of German-occu- pied Rumania. The Russians were going to be ready for any Nazi attempt to force the Dar- danelles or close their outlet to the Mediterranean. Russian Mr Force, Factor How much the threatened clas between Germany and the So- viet Union was affecting the Battle of Britain was pointed out last week by the British United Press military analyst J. W. T. Mason: "Hitler must give much thought to Russian air strength, He has now to consider tho pos- sibility that if the war goes into next year, Russian air power may be added to the British which then will be augmented by the expected peak production of American factories. Last sum- mer . . . the Fuehrer was able to concentrate most of his air squadrons over Britain in seek- ing to knock out the Royal Air Force. Henceforth he must keep a considerable number of his REG'LAR FELLERS -- Within the Law planes near the Russian frontier, as well as in the Balkans. His adventure into southeastern Eur- ope by 'arousingRussian suspic-, ions has ,weakened his air straf- ing ability against the British," Battle of Atlantic Tho British Parlitiment' last weak voted a huge • new secret appropriation for "many more ships"—warships, merchant ves- sels of all kinds—to combat the steadily intensifying German sea offensive premised by Hitler in. his January and February speeches. The Germans wore looking for victory on the sea and it was there that they must be met -and conquered, This ap- peared to be the view in London and Washington last week, The Battle of the Atlantic was. on. An alarming new situation with reference to the war on the sea confronted Britain -last week when the French Vichy govern- ment, no doubt under Nazi. pres- sure to do so, threatened to use the French' Navy to convoy food ships to unoccupied Fiance through the British blockade. The French fleet ever since last, June has been a troublesome and uncertain factor for Britain. Armed conflict with French foodship convoys definitely was not wanted at such an hour as this. U.S. To Turn Tide The lid was off on American aid to Britain the instant the Lease -Lend bill passed Congress in Washington last week. Not a nament was lost in releasing a vast: quantity of war materials to go across' the water; "flying fortresses" were quickly dis- patched; and President Roose- velt pressed a demand for $7,- 000,000,000 in immediate cash to finance the help -Britain pro- gram. Some sources said that in addition to flying fortresses, the equipment to be sent over- seas at once included naval bombers for., convoy duty, tanks and machine-guns for the Greek campaign and small craft to com- bat U-boats. 99 warships alto- gether would be released to Britain before the end of 1941. To Meet Early Crisis Authoritative circles •in Wash- ington appeared to be acting on the theory that the coming three months would bring the great "crisis" in the war which would indicate the ultimate winner. The best military- opinion there held that 1941 would not see the end' of ' the conflict, but that American aid would be suffici- ent to bolster British resistance and prolong the war in the hope of defeating Germany in 1942. No Later Than June Tho Canadian military expert W. R. Plewman, noting that ma- terial aid from the U.S. to Bri- tain would be assuming colossal proportions by September, esti- mated that Hitler could not pos- sibly snake his supreme attack on Britain any later than June. `At least two months before Sep- tember, he • declared, Germany, if she would win the war, must strive to get the upper' hand of Britain and isolate the British Isles from America. Tablet Diet Insufficient No Short Cut to Proper Nourishment According to British Expert Most of this talk about feeding people by tablet atone is without foundation, R. A. •Bacltarach said in his presidential address to tiro Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. on Nutritional Problems, "At present there is no short cut to this business of taking en- ough food in tablets to supply suf- ficient nutrition," Bacharach said. "It is practically impossible to con- struct any kind of diet unless on the basis of ono pint of liquid milk per person per. day." EXAMELE OF IRON DIET 'As an example of an "Iron diet" he listed ono pint of milk, eight ounces of wholemeal bread, eight ounces of potatoes, foto• ounces ' of oatmeal, two ounces of meat or fish, two ounces of carrots, one -ounce vltamiuised margarine, one ounce of sugar and ono orange.

CHAMBERS • Homey Dishes For The Family From Christmas on we have been doing a great deal of discuss- ing about Company dishes and sug- gesting menus for St. Valentine's, and St, 'Patrick's Day. It seems then fit and proper, that we should consider now a few homey dishes both for economy and health's sake. VEGETABLE CASSEROLE Place in a casserole alternate layers of carrots, potatoes and on- ions, sprinkling both lay'er's with salt and pepper and grated cheese. Some chopped parsley added to each layer also adds zest. Cover with scalded mills until even with tine top layer. Cover and bake in a slow oven for one hour. Be sure to sprinkle some grated cheese on top—and dots of butter. This dish stands high in food merit—for the vegetable juices are retained—the adding of the milk !s helping to keep up the family milk quota- and it is economical, Served with bacon or cold meat, it slakes a perfect balanced meal. IRISH STEW & DUMPLINGS Melt 2 tablespoons shortening in frying pan (a sleep one if possible). Add 1 ib. o1' round steak cut in inch size cubes. I3rown the meat well, then add 4 cups of water, Simmer until tender which takes about one hour. Season to taste and according to the family's lik- ing. Atld 2',4 tablespoons of flour, ]Mixed in SI .cup water and cool; until thickened. Add one can (large) of condensed vegetable soup. Mix w011 and heat again. The standard dumpling batter is made by mixing 2 cups sifted flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder and a4 cull milk. Drop by spoon- fuls on top of the boiling stew. Cover and steam for 15 minutes.

(Stamps have never been intended as anything more than a means of enabling children and people with very low incomes to purchase war savings certificates on the instalment plan), Five per cent of the average broad -winner's iii001110 was not, he thought, too much to ask as an investment in war savings to sup- port the country's war effort. MAXIMUM EFFORT The dominion's war effort, he pointed out, is to be the maximum that the people of Canada can con- tribute toward a British victory. There is no other measure for it. Tho task of financing it must be placed on the same footing and war savings are a vital feature. Canadians who contribute their share of support in this way can only satisfy themselves and the needs of the situation by investing Every cent they can spare. Those who felt that the purchase of a few war •savings stamps would meet their obligation had a wrong conception of the whole situation, he said, The committee's appeal is for the purchase f certi!fcates, rot stamps—the purchase of as many certificates regularly as e:.ch individual can pay for out of his ear'ning's.

GOLDEN TEXT—What there shall 1 do unto Jesus who is called Christ? Matt, 27 22, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—Tho prayer in the garden, the betrayal by Judas, and the de- ntals of Peter, all took place on Thursday evening, April 6, A.D. 30; all tho remaining events in «tho lesson occurred on tho day following, Friday, April ; th, Place.—The garden in which Ile was betrayed by Judas was at the foot of the Mount of Olives, opposito to and East of the City - of Jerusalem. The trial before the Fanhedrin, no doubt, too' place in tho Palace of Caiaphas, The place where the trials of our Lord before Pilate and Ilerod took place is die ficult to determine. All of them may have occurred in the Palace of llerod the 'Great, then occupied by Pilate; or in the Fortress 'An- tonia, or in a palace near it. The palace, at Jerusalem was situated on the North side of Mount Zion. The place Of the Crucifixion of our Lord 11as never been exactly identified. We do not believe that it was on the spot where the Church of the Holy Sepulchre now elands. At least, it was outside of tho city wall, and probably North of the city wall. We always speak of Calvary as a hill, but of this there Is no evidence in tho Scrip- tures, though It may have been a hill. The charges against Jesus var- ied from hour to hour, The Jews began by saying that Christ claim- ed to be a king. Then they declar- ed Jesus had stirred up the people, even as far as Galilee, (Jesus was already condemned to death by the Sanhedrin, but it was necessary to have him condemned also by tho Roman procurator, in order that the sentence might be execut- ed, and without delay, by hint who had the power of death), Second Time Before Pilate Mark 23 : 13, "And Pilate called together the ch{• priests and the rulers and the people, 1.1. and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and beheld, 1, having examined him before you, found no fault In this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 36. no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back to us; and behold, noth- ing worthy of death hath been done by him. 16. I will therefore chastise him, and release him." Certainly Pilate was convinced of Jesus' innocence. It Pilate had not b: such a coward, Ho afraid of his position, afraid of Caesar, and afraid of the mob, Jesus would not have been condemned, at least by bine, "Crucify Him, Crucify Him!" 18, "But they cried out all to- gether saying, Away with this maul, and release unto us Barabbas: 19. ono who for a certain Insurrection made in the eity, and for murder, was cast into prison. 20. And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus. But they shouted, Crucify, crucify hint, 22. And he said tanto theni the third time, 1Vhy, what evil hada this man done? I have found no cause of ()oath In hint: I will therefore 'ebnstise hent and release hint. 23. 13 ! they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be ernclf1H1, And their voices pre - veiled," Three title; Pilate ex- postulate with the Jeeee, attempt- ing to appease them by declaring the innocence of June. 11 being utterly in,possille .o satisfy. 111[5 mob, one of two things had to take place: either Pilate must stand his ground as an officer of Rome, and set Jesus free, no mat- ter what happened, or he trust be- tray his office, and give Jesus ov- er to the mop, lie did the latter, It was thn loCo of justice that should have prevailed, but Pilate softened by an nnd1Fciplined life appeared to be incapable of rising ep in a noble way to defend an lnitocent elan ago Writ a howling snob. 24, "And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for shoutd be done, 25. And he released him that for tnsurrecttou and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he de- livered up to their will." Pilate's judgment was for time.

British Take Norwegian Prisoners After Daring Raid A grim version of Blind Man's Buff is reluctantly played by some of the 225 German and Quislingist Norwegian prisoners, above, taken in the surprise British raid on the Lofoten Islands, off the coast of north- ern Norway, '1'o prevent their seeing anything of military importance, captured men were led blindfolded aboard British ships, which made off safely, aures spoken by our Lord while on the cross, recorded h1 the four Gos- pels. This one 1s the perfect t'ul- flllment of Christ's own command that we should love our euenlies, and pray for those who despite- fully use us, Man Has 2 Hearts; Dies As One Fails An autopsy of the body of John S. Frick, 78, who died in Medford, Ore., last week, reveal- ed the man had two normal hearts, one above the other, county physician Dr. A, E. Mer- kel reported. Dr. Merkel said the two hearts ,were joined by the large aorta artery, and both had functioned. The ventricle of the lower heart .had ruptured, causing death, Officers of the Jackson Coun- ty Medical Society said they knew of no other case of a man possessing two hearts. t Isle' of Cats One of the queerest and most desolate spots in the ' world is Frigate, a low corral island 300 miles north -cast of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean. It is inhabit- ed solely by cats, the descendants of two shipwrecked there some eighty. years ago. They are large and fierce, and exist mainly on fish, which they catch in the most ingenious manner. They form a circle on a dry reef reaching to the water's edge, and at low tide close in, driving the fish into shallow pools and channels, Then they pick them out and tear them with razorlike claws, In fine weather there is no danger of their starving, for a single drive may yield a ton of fish. During violent hurricanes, when fishing is impossible, the cats fall upon each other, but in spite of their ferocity, they seldom attack ship- wrecked seamen, RADIO REPOIITER By DAVE FOR GARDENERS 'Phis week we have good news from everyone who plants screeds in the soli—Dick, the Amateur Gar. dener, 16 back on the air from CKOC on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5.30 p.m, (daylight).

ARTICLE NO. 3 It is not the amount of labor spent that is the Rey to good gar- dening but rather the timing of the necessary work. There is nothing to be gained, for in- stance, and much may be lost, in working soil too early'. It is far better to have the .garden dug once and at the right time than tl. rush in and waste days mess- ing around in the mud. Hints Nursery stock is the general name given to hardy perennial sln'ubs, flowers, vines, trees and roses that are drown for one to three years from seed in a nurs- ery before being sold to garden- ers and fruit growers, ' Like seed, it is important to secure such stock from a repu- table source and one that is fa- miliar and caters to Canadian conditions. Good stock is pliable, green and shows plenty of live buds. Roots are moist and well wrapped to exclude the air. Nursery stock should be plant- ed as soon as the soil is fit io work and if purchased before this time, or if inconvenient to plant in permanent positions, roots should be temporarily cov- ered with moist earth or plants should be stored in a cool, dark cellar and roots kept moist. First Vegetables 1 Among the earliest vegetables to be sown in Canadian gardens will be peas, leaf lettuce, radish and spinach, These may be planted as soon as the ground is fit to work. All of the seeds should be sown at least three times, at intervals of ten days, so that there will be a succession of vegetables, ' The second sow- ing will be carrots, beets, onions, potatoes, etc,, which can stand a ' little frost, and then b-ans, corn and tomatoes, cabbage .and cauli- flower plants, melons, cucumbet,7,, ete,, which are tender.
