C.N.R. MAKES LAST RUN
NO FUSS OR CEREMONY
JUST HAND -SHAKES
People view the advent of something
new with great enthusiasm—,but just
as surely they view the demise of
inaterial things—unless it is closely
linked with their own lives --with ap-
parent indifference, Suck was the
case when the C,N.R. passenger train
madie it's last journey from Clinton
to Win'gltam on Saturday. Practically
unheeded by the majority, the old
"Butter and Eggs Special" as it was
called, steamed into the Blyth station
approximately half an hour late, on
her final lap Saturday, with very few
present to give her the ast "once-over.
Apart from train officials and local
ofrigate being on 'hand for dinal
hand -shakes, there were a few passen-
gers aboard—some for sentimental
reasons, others just along because it
was the last chance of a ride—sort of
making family history, as well as a
few reporters endeavouring to pick up
a story.
Those frown Blyth taking the last
ride were 'Mrs. Bon Mason who as a
little girl had seen the first of the
trains passing through Londeeboro,
She was accompanied by J, E. Mason,
of Goderich and her granddaughter
Marion .Mason of 131yt'h. Also along
were Wiliam Watson and son Paul of.
Blyth and James Lookie also of Blyth
for 36 years section foreman on the
line.
Passengers from Clinton and Len-
desiioro were also along.
iOn Monday the new truck service
wns started and we hope will serve
in the capacity of mail service as well
as the former service, J. P. Manning
is operating the service and Itis time -
schedule is practically the same as
that of the train service.

•BLYTH BAND HISTORY.

Just what the organizing and main-
taining of such an institution
means, the following article which
in body is a brief history of the
Blyth Band, was written by a
keenly interested, and active wor-

"The 13lyth Citizens' Band was or.

Red Cross Marks
Scene of Crime
Visitors in western uptown
Montreal often ask questions re-
garding a big wood cross painted
red visible over the fence of the
Mother House of the Order of the
Grey Nuns, Traffic officials of
the Canadian National Railways
carried a query to Dr, W. H, Ath-
erton, authority on historic Mon-
treal, and he recounted a story
in explanation. In tho time of
the French regime when Montreal
was beginning to extend • beyond
the fortified walls, "la Chemin
du Roi" (The King's ,Road) strag-
gled along the edge of 'the mid-
town terrace about the present
line of Dorchester Street, At the
point where Guy street now in-
tersects, stood a farm house and-
tho farmer was credited with pos-
t sessing a store of gold. A bandit
attempted to rob the farmer and
when the latter resisted, killed
the farmer, his wife and a daugh-
ter, Captured, French justice de-
creed that he should be hanged
and quartered, the body to swing
on the gibbet erected at the scene
of the crime, Afterwards a cross
was placed at the spot. Years
later when the first roads were
straightened, the cross was in the
centre of the thoroughfare, and
on request 'of the municipal auth-
orities the Grey Nuns agreed to
maintain in perpetuity a cross to
mark this page in the record of
the former French colony.
An English tourist travelling in
the North of Scotland, far away

of the natives:
"Why, what do you do when
any of you are ill? You can
never get a doctor.".

able thing in the house with

THE WAR •WEE K --Commentary on Current Events
CANADA, UNITED STATES
COMBINE WAR PROGRAMS
"It was agreed as a general
principle that In mobilizing the
resources of this continent
each country should provide
the other with the defence ar•
ticies It Is best able to produce,
and, above all, produce quickly,
and that production programa
should be co-ordinated to this
end." --Joint statement issued
at Hyde Park, N.Y., by Pres'.
dent Roosevelt and Prime Min-
ister King.
An agreement of momentous im-
portance in the history of this con-
tinent and of vital concern to all
Canadians was last week reached
at Hyde Park, N.Y., by the chief
executives of the United States and
Canada, under the terms of whieh
the two largest countries of the
New World merged their eeono•
mies, to most practical purposes,
for the production of war materials
for British aid and defense of the
hemisphere. -
Economies Merged
In brief, the agreement amount-
ed to: 1, An undertaking by the
United States to buy between $200,-
000,000 and ;300,000,000 worth of
defense and war material from
Caned during the coming year, this
•- to help out Canada's unfavorable
balance; 2. A further undertaking
by the United States practically to
include in the Lease -lend arrange-
ment with Britain all unfinished
war material which Canada im-
porta from the United States and
re-exports or transfers to Britain,
this making current payments by
Canada unnecessary,
Total Union Inevitable?
Many and far-reaching would be
the results of such a pact. Numer-
ous thinking Canadians, taking the
long-range view, saw in in the
agreement a big stem toward the
ultimate union of the Dominion
with the United States — Toronto's
late Goldwin Smith's dream
brought to fruition. Total co-oper-
ation was sure to follow economic
and productive collaboration, they
averred.
But of more immediate conse-
quence would certainly be a vast
shipbuilding and armaments manu-
facturing boom in Canada, Indus-
trial leaders last week estimated
that, with the United States now
needing many things of which Can-
ada has a surplus; an employment
step'sup ot forty per cent might be
necessary, drawing more women
into industry and more western
farmers oft the lnnd,•
Over the Border.
The foreign exchange satiation
'which for Canada had been grow:
lug increasingly critical was taken
care ot by the agreement; one of
the minor offshoots would be the
lifting of restrictions on travel to
fie United States by Canadian 01 -

June, Peak Month
The question ,most commonly
discussed last week by Washington
officials was reported to be not
whether the United States would
go to war but WHEN. Preponder-
ance of authoritative opinion seem-
ed to be two -to -one that the Unit-
ed States would got into belligerent
war. The time and incidents pre-
cipitating it were still uncertain.
Some guessed 30 days, some 60
days, and very few placed the date
any later. The month of June was
coming to be thought the peak
month of the war. If Britain Ccould
hold on• till then, United States'
weight would - surely be able at
that time to help turn the tide.
No Slackening
-There was a certain amount of
'feeling in the United States last
week following the Allied defeat
LIFE'S LIKE THAT
in the Balkans that shipment of
American war materials to Bri-
tain might drop oft if the admin.
Istration believed itself backing a
losing 'cause. But to 'scotch this
wave of rumor, President Roose-
velt at his press conference declar-
ed that the Axis victory in the Bal-
kans neither would win the war for
Hitler and Mussolini nor result in
any slackening on Lease -Lend de-
liveries.
« « «
Semi,FInal Round
' That the defeat in Greece was
not decisive was the opinion held
by meet military experts on this
continent, Major George Fielding
Eliot pointed out that the Setbacks
in the eastern Mediterranean by
no means meant that Britain was
losing the war; for the Germans to
win, he said, the British Isles must
bo conquered. Associated Press',
Dewitt Mackenzie pointed out once
again that. the Battle of the Bal-
kans was only a phase—important
but still far from decisive --of the
general conflict, Should .Hitler be-
come master ot the entire ,Mediter-
ranean, he postulated, he would
only have copped oft the semi-final
round ot the contest with the Battle
of Britain still tp be won.
Decision In Atlantic
Writing from Washington, Kirke
L. Simpson, military expert also
with the Associated Press, declared
that it was in the Atlantic that the
war would still be lost or won, And
"provided British morale can en-
duro the strain," he said, "there is
nothing definite to imply that the
crisis in the Atlantic will come this
year." Of the same mind apparent-
ly was Prime Minister Churchill
when ho said last week that Bri-
tain was in for an "undoubtedly
long and formidable war,"
But no one really could prophesy
with truth what would happen be -
tore the end of 1941, Russia and
Germany might go to war and the
entire world picture would be
changed.

Six -Nation Pact?
Things appeared to be shaping
up according to a new pattern in
the Far East last week, if the sen-
sational reports of the Osaka (Ja-
pan) Mainichi were to be credited
with any degree of correctness.
This newspaper stated that a mil-
itary and naval pact had been con-
cluded between six nations—Unit-
ed States, Britain, China, British
India, Australia and the Nether-
lands East Indies—which pooled
their entire military and material
resources in the Far East for the
purpose of strengthening their de-
fenses and opposing Japan's south-
ward advance, while protecting the
communication lines linking South
Africa, British India, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Manila, Australia and
the United States.
Under this pact, which this col-
umn believes to be largely authen-
tic, Sir Robert Brooke -Popham,
Commander-in-chief of the British
Forces in the Far East, is supposed
to assume the supreme command
of the combined land and air forces,

"UP AT THE VILLA"
137 W. Somerset Maugham
This short novel of a beautiful
woman's indiscretion and its ef-
fect on the lives of three men who
love her presents as enthralling a
situation as Somerset Maugham
has ever created, It is the dra-
matic story of Marry Panton, a
widow at thirty, who finds herself
in a situation which threatens to
jeopardize her future life and
happiness.
The author of "The Letter"
and "Of Human Bondage," Som-
erset Maugham is the dean of liv-
ing novelists; the clarity of his
style, tho perfection of his form,
the sublety of his thought, have
made him an international figure
in the world of literature. "Up
at the Villa," so full of his shrewd
observation of the human animal
under stress, is a fine example of
this brilliant writer's mastery of
his craft.
The title is borrowed from a
poem by Robert Browning.

Result Was, Foreseen
St. Catharines, April 24—Co1-
lapse,ot..French and Italian trade
with British countries as a result
of the war promises to bring some
beneficial results to one branch of
Canadian agriculture, -with na-
' tive-grown grapes finding a
greater use in the production of
vermouth. Supplies of Italian and
French vermouth have been ex-
hausted and already Ontario ver-
mouth has taken their place in
government stores throughout at
least one province.
Long-sighted wine producers in
Canada, it is stated, began the
purchase of heavier quantities of
the compound of herbs from which
Italian and French producers
made their vermouth. For years
a small quantity of vermouth had
been produced in Canada, with
the result that considerable ex-
perience had been gained long
before the need for increased
quantities was felt, As a result,
large stocks of the herbs had been
gathered in Canada, and before
the demand arose Ontario produc-
• ers had begun production of extra
supplies.
Vermouth is produced from
sweet or dry wines, each native to
Italy ;Ind France , respectively.
Because Canadian grape -growers,
mostly in Ontario, produce grapes
from which both types of wines
are made, Ontario growers stand
to benefit from the increased pro-
duction of vermouth. Excellence
r
of the Ontario product, itis
claimed, is reflected in the reads,
ness with which Canadian win
connoisseurs have adopted thi
domestic vermouth. Grape -grow-
ers, also claim that this indicates
the extent to which the Ontario
wine industry has gone In rais-
ing the standards and improving
the 'quality pf their wareb in "S-
cent years; inasmuch as purchas-
ers ' of vermouth were mostly in
the class of buyers who bought
imported wines. -

SYNOPSIS
The Harry C. Thomas family,
father, mother and three daugh-
ters, is the typical American fam-
ily in a town of about 15,000 pope•
lation. Harriet, aged nine, the
youngest, is independent and yen-
turesome with an enormous appe-
tite for ice cream. She overhears
her sister Mary rehearsing, in front
of the bathroom mirror, her reply
to a prospective proposal of mar-
rlage, and of course spills the beans
to her mother. Listening at the
hot air register upstairs, Harriet
overhears her parents' conversa-
tion on the subject of Mary and
her two rival beaux -- Ted Foster
and Jim Reynolds, both of whom
are salesmen at the Hellman Auto
Agency. Harriet calls up each beau
in turn and makes him a business
proposition; in exchange for ice
cream to be brought to her that
evening, she tells that Mary has
spent an hour before her mirror,
primping in case a certain young
man should happen to call that
evening.
CHAPTER TWO
When a Coronet. sedan parked
in front of the Thomas home that
evening, a basket lowered from an
'cxpstairs window lilt the caller on
the head as he climbed the steps.
"Psst1" whispered Harriet. "Put
my ice cream in the basket."
ft was the dmayed voice of
Jinn Reynolds that answered. "I'm
sorry. I'll send you two gallons to-
morrow."
The door opened and Mr. Thom-
as addressed the caller jovially:
"'Nell, well! Jim Reynolds, This
is a surprise. Mary, here's Jim."
"Dad, don't you ever welcome
anybody without saying this is a
surprise?"
"Not Jim Reynolds 1 don't. Nor
'fed Foster. When it's Jim I'm sur-
prised that it's not Ted — and
when it's Ted I'm surprised that
it's not Jirn. Does that answer your
question?"
"1'm sorry 1 asked," responded
Mary. "Come in, Jim."
Another Coronet sedan parked
by the sidewalk. Again the basket
was lowered and dangled in front
of the second caller.
"Teel! Put the ice cream in the
basket."
"Sorry, they were all out of pis-
tachio, Harriet."
"Then put they vanilla or what•
ever you've got there in the bas -
fret."
"Supply Your Own!"
"'this is some candy for Mary.
I didn't think you wanted any fla-
vor but pistachio. I'm sorry,"
"You could have been just as
sorry and brought. some chocolate."
"Harriet, 1'11 phone from inside
s.nd have them send up .some clew.
ala te."
"You'll do no Hub thing! Some -

er pictured here and hundreds

times my father is very peculiar
about my business transactions."
Mr. Thomas, who had been at -
traced by voices outside the door,
stepped into view,
"To bed, young lady! When I
raised your allowance you were to
supply your own ice cream."
"If you asked me," said Harriet
plaintively, "I think this is a dirty
trick to play on a child!" She slam-
med the window shut.
"Well, well, Ted. This is a sur-
prise. Come on in."
Ted and Jim were not very much
surprised at encountering each
other in the Thomas living room,
but there was no cordiality in 'the
civilities they exchanged. Mr,
Thomas was trying to help enter-
tain the two guests when his wife
called him upstairs, He entered the
bed room hitching up his trousers,
"It looks like Mary has made
up her mind," said Mrs. Thomas.
"You're wrong, Chief. No girl
has two boys around when her
mind'g made up — unless she's
thinking of bigamy."
Is it necessary to keep hauling
at your pants, Harry?"
"It is if 1 want to keep my under -
wean up, There's no buttons on
them. Mary's not going to get any
proposal with hotly Ted and Jim
down there."
"'So you're going clown to make
it three!"
"No, I'm going down to make it
one." •
Mary and Her Beaux
Mary and her beaux were ex-
changing trivialities when leer fath-
er re-entered. Ile introduced the
subject of drawers with missing
buttons anti at Mary's protest, came
to the point.
"All right, Mary. I can talk about
other things. Jim, what does a
sedan like the two outside sell
for?"
"\Vhy, for $022.65 f.o.b. Detroit."
Mr, Thomas, allowed sudden in-
terest to appear in his voice, "Run
me around the block in one , . Oh,
cone on, Jim, this is business,"
Jim arose nicely to the bait,
"Business is nine to six for any-
body but your father, Mary. Be
right back."
A moment of embarrassed sil-
ence followed the departure of Mr,
Thomas and Jim.
"Mark," said Ted.
"Yes?"
"Do ... do you like steak?"
"Do I like what?" Mary all but
gasped.
"Steak. S•t-a-a-k. Do you like
steak?"
"No. Not particularly, Why?"
"I . . , 1 was just wondering,"
said Ted in a squelched nice. After
a silence he began again: "Mary."
"Yes?"
"This is a very nice swing."
"It's all right," she answered in-
differently.
"No. This is a special swing. A
fellow could do a lot worse than
spend his • whole life on a swing
like this,"
"13uL where would you eat?"
"I ... 1 meant it would he awful-
ly nice to be on this swing—when-
ever you are in it."
"I wish . . , You know what I
wish Mary?"
"What, Ted?" Her voice was en-
couraging, but his spirit quailed,
"Well, uh , .. You think it's get-
ting late?"
"No, 'red. What were you going
to say?"
Ted Proposes
"1 guess a lot of marriages don't
succeed nowadays."
"I guess a lot of marriages didn't
succeed in the old days either."
"Take me, for instance, Mary.
As a husband I can't see myself
for dust. Anybody who'd marry me
would be making a terrible mis-
take. It 1 ever asked a girl and
she wouldn't marry me, she'd he
right."
"It a. girt married you and
wasn't happy, she'd have mostly
herself to blame."
That bolstered .Ted's courage.
"Mary, I love you and want to
marry you,"
"I do!" said Mary instantly,
"What?" said Ted, taken aback.
"Yes, Ted, honestly and truly."
"I love you more than . . , I
love you , . . I love you, Mary."
"I love you Ted "
Their lips met , , well, there
was no one to keep count of how
many times. When Mr. Thomas re-
turned to the porch alone, they
sprang up from the swing,
",Tim drove me around the block
—and then he drove me around the
nest block," said Mr. Thomas. "I'm
afraid maybe 1 was kind of obvious.
I got a notion he caught on around
the thirtieth block.".
f' Tel Grants lo see you about
something," said shay and retreat-
ed into the house, closing the door,
Mr. Thomas looked at the sin'
(grassed young man for same
time. Then he smiled: "What's on
your mind?"
"I , , I just thought we'd have a
little chat,"•
Mr. Thomas made further efforts
to put Ted at his ease, and' at
length Ted blurted out: "I , , . I
guess' it's kind of a surprise to
you Mr. Thomas, my wanting to
talk to you like this, Well, the
reason I came here , . , Mr. Thom-
as, I'd like to marry your (laugh-
ter."
Mr, Thomas was extremely sur-
prised. "Let me get this straight.
Did you say you wanted to marry
my daughter?"
"1 suppose it may sound a little
funny to you, my wanting to mar-
ry Mary I mean, I guess anybody
that didn't want to merry Mary
would be crazy, Only , ,
"Are you by any chance in .love
with her, young man?"
"Yes, sir,"
"Eavesdropping, Mary?"
"And is • she In love with you?"
"1 , , , I think so."
"Maybe we'd better find out for
sure, Mary!" Instantly the door
was opened, "Mary, have you been
eavesdropping?"
"Yes, father."
"Well, here's a big situation I
need your advice about. This young
man says a.. but what am I telling
you for? You heard what Ifta said."
"Isn't he wonderful, Dad?" said
Mary, going. to Ted and taking
his hand.
"Well, what do you want me to
do, Mary? Dismiss the young man
with a reprimand, Notify his near-
est relatives and—"
"No, I think I'll marry him, be-
. cause I'm in 'love with bin."
"Okay. Bless you, my children,"
said Mr. Thomas sincerely and left
theni together.
After an interval: "Ted, what
will your mother say?"
"Anybody that didn't want me'
to love you would be crazy."
"No mother ever thinks a girl
is good enough for her only son,"
"Not my mother! I'm going to
tell iter about us tonight,"
There was one subject that Mary
approached gingerly, "Some people
maybe won't think our getting mar-
' tied is such a wonderful idea, Ted,
were you , . . were you ever en-
. gaged to Anastasia Atherton?"
"No, I never asked Anastasia to
marry ate, \Vhy, Mary?"
"I wanted to be sure you weren't
still a little bit In love with her."
• "I'm not. Not even a little bit . ,"
Mary said quickly: "I don't want
to ,Alrow any more! We've brought

Your Wallpaper
Need Cleaning?
Bulges, Blisters and Tears
May Be Simply Remedied
Grease spots can be taken off
wallpaper by spreading over the
affected area a soft paste made
of fuller's earth and either carbon
teterachlot•ide or benzine, If the
former is used, the fumes should
not be inhaled,
The paste must be lett on the
wall until it is entirely white and
dry and then it must be brushed
off, using a soft brush.
If the wallpaper is loose in spots,
ordinary library paste, well water-
ed, will fix it up. Or regular, wall-
paper paste may be obtained at
most hardware and palet stores,
PATCIHING MATEIIIAL
Bulges and blisters in wallpaper
can be fixed by inserting thinned -
out wallpaper paste behind the
bulge with a small syringe. Then
cut a mall slit at one end of the
bulge and flatten it with a roller.
Be sure to remove immediately any
paste that oozes out.
It the paper needs patching, the
patch should be torn rather than
cut -- this to Insure that tho patch
will be properly featheredge. Paste
should then be applied to the back
of the patching piece. If the patch-
ing material Is carefully torn out
and if the design is properly match-
ed, the patch will be barely visible,

Many Are The
Services of Salt
Throw salt on the soot that has
just fallen on the carpet,. and it
will prevent it froth making stains
as you :sweep it up,' Jour salt on
to ink if you spill it, and it will
make the stain easier to remove,
.as it laps up quite a lot very
quickly. Salt and vinegar is an
excellent tannin remover; try it
on, your badly -stained teacups,
Sprinkle salt on the carpet before
you sweep it; it brightens the col-
ors and helps to keep moths away.
Salt added to your flower water
will keep it fresh and helps the
cut flowers to attain a ripe old
age. Salt on a damp cloth re-.
moves egg stains from egg spoons,
Soak your new broom. in salt
water for a few hours before us-
ing, and they will not only "sweep
clean," but sweep longer without
going soft.
Buying a Chicken?
When inspecting a chicken
j prior to purchase, press the end
I of the breast bones to see if a
fowl is young. If the breast bone
is flabby and soft, the bird will
be lovely for frying, grilling, or
roasting. If the breast bone is
Ibroken, have nothing to do with
--the bird and be careful of the
poulterer who tried to sell it to
you, too, If the bond is hard, the
bird,is suitable for boiling, but in
this case always choose a white
fowl with white legs—they are
far the best for boiling,

GOLDEN TEXT,—They there•
f3re that were scattered abroad

Acts 8:4,
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time,--A,D, 36.
Place. --Samaria is the region
in Palestine lying between Judaea
and Galilee; Gaza was an old
city of the Philistines fifty, miles
southwest of Jerusalem; Azotus
was thirty miles north of Gaza,
and Caesarea, a coastal city, was
located midway between Joppa
and Tyre.
This lesson is helpful to us in
the study of the consequences of
persecution in the Christian
church, namely, an even greater
dissemination of the Gospel than
was taking place before the per-
secution arose.
Saul the Persecutor
Aets 8:1. "And Saul was con-
senting , unto his death. And
there arose on that day a great
persecution against the church
which was in Jerusalem; and they
were all scattered abroad' through-
out the regions of Judaea and Sa-
maria, except the apostles. 2.
And devout men buried Stephen,
and made great lamentation over
him, 3, But Saul laid waste the
church, entering into every house,
and dragging then and women
committed them to prison, 4,
They therefore that were scat-
tered abroad went about preach-
ing the word."
After the death and burial of
Stephen, the persecution still rag-
ed in Jerusalem. That temporary
protection which had been ex-
tended to the rising sect by such
men as Gamaliel was now at an
end.. Pharisees and Sadducees --
priests and people alike, indulged
in the most violent and ungovern-
able fury, The eminent and ac-
tive agent in this persecution was
Saul (who here comes for the
first tinge upon the stage of New
Testament history) : There are
strong grounds for believing that,
if he was not a member of the
Sanhedrin at the time of St.
Stephen's death, he was elected
into that powerful senate soon
after; possibly as a reward for
the zeal he had shown against the
heretic doing. Before we have
read much further in the book of
Acts, we will find that he, who is
now the greatest persecutor of
the early Church, Saul, will be -
conic the greatest preacher of the
Gospel of the grace of God which
the ancient world ever knew. Thus'
is God able to work miracles with-
in the hearts of men, and • to
mightily deliver His church in a
time of great distress.
• The Gospel in Samaria
6. "And Philip went down to
the city of Samaria, and proclaim=
ed unto them the Christ." Sa-
maria was populated by a nation
of people utterly despised by the
Jews, and equally despising their
Jewish neighbors—semi-Jews wo
might call them, who held rigidly
to the traditions and laws of the
Pentateuch, who were looking for
the Messiah, A Jew considered
himself contaminated even to go
through the country of Samaria.
But the love of God through
Christ in Philip's hears had given
him a love for all men every-
where, Prejudices disappeared.
(We need this today as much as it
was needed then). Philip, the
evangelist, /must not be confused
with Philip, one of the Twelve
Apostles, 6. "And the multi-
tudes gave heed with one accord
unto the things that were spoken
by Philip, when they heard, and
saw the signs which he did. 7.
For from many of those that had
unclean spirits, they crone out,
crying with a loud voice: and
many that were palsied, and that
were lame, were healed, 8. And
there was much joy in that city,"
Philip proclaimed as a herald
the. Messiahship of Christ. He
preached also as an evangelist the
good news 'of the Kingdom of
God, and of the name of Jesus.
Undoubtedly Philip preached from
the Old Testament, for surely no
New Testament book had yet been
written, but in his preaching lie
continually pointed to the ?,les-
siah, not the Messiah who was
still to come, but the Messiah who
had already conte, fulfilling the
prophecies that spoke of Him, in
preaching Christ, he preached
Jesus as the Messiah for whom
all Jews and Samaritans were
looking,
Receiving the Holy Spirit
14, "Now when the apostles that
were at Jerusalem heard that Sa-
garia had received the word of
(led, they sent unto thein Peter
and John," We find this same
aption again taken by the mother
church in Jerusalem when they
heard of the great work which
was being done in the city of
Antioch (Acts 11;19-29), sending
Barnabas to examine and report
to them concerning the conditions

had been hearing, Peter the
practical; John the poet. Peter
the man of deeds; John the
dreamer. When the work in Sa-
maria had to be inspected,—for
I think that was the first aposto-
lic intention, ---the Spirit, acting
through the apostles, sent these
two; the man of deeds, and the
man of dreams,

Spirit: 16. for as yet it was fallen
upon none of them: only they had

they their hands on them, and
they received the Holy Spirit."
The gift of the Holy Spirit—evi-
dence of the new life which re-
sulted from faith in Christ --- to
the Samaritan converts was here
granted through the agency of
the apostles, Peter and John, who
were sent from Jerusalem to in-
vestigate the work of Philip. The
mission of Peter and John, their
prayer, and the miraculous gifts,
also demonstrated the unity of the
Church. 25, "They therefore,

Gardening...
• ARTICLE No, 9
Probably the best garden soil
for vegetables, flowers, grass,
and most shrubs too, is a good
loam, This is a soil that is not
all clay or all sand. It is really
a mixture of both, plus a lot of
humus, or rotted vegetable mater-
ial like leaf mould. Now, of
course, one does not find this
ideal soil everywhere but it Ls
possible to create it out of almost
anything in Canada.
Heavy Soil
Heavy soil, for instance, can be
loosened permanently by the
spading or plowing in of some
well -rotted strawy manure or
lacking this vegetable growth such
as clover, quickly grown oats or
even weeds. In very small gar-
dens it is possible to secure a
load or two of sand, or loose
black leaf mould. This will also
help to loosen the heavy clay and
make it easily worked, Just
plain cultivation alone will help.
The beginner with a brand new
piece of raw clay should not get
discouraged, Such soils always
hardest to work at first. Each
year will find the job simpler,
the soil improved.
Sandy Soil
Light, sandy soils are always
greatly benefitted by the addition
of strawy manure or black loam.
The incorporation of vegetable
platter such as straw and weeds
or clover will. add humus to the
sand and make it hold moisture
better and give it a more desir-
ab)e body,
Take Your Time
Because we have long hours of
sunlight in Spring and Summer,
it really does not matter then if
our garden goes in late, as once
growth starts it is rapid. Garden
beginners are advised to have pa-
tience. Thc!re is no need for rush-
ing, in fact there are very good
reasons against such a course.
Ileal growth with most vege-
tables does not get underway until
the weather and soil begin to
warns. There are some except-
ions, of course. Lettuce, spinach,
peas, nursery stock, should . be
planted as soon as possible as all
like cool weather.
But for tho medium hardy type
of vegetable—things like beans,
beets, corn and tomatoes—there
is no advantage in sowing too
soon. They will make little growth
in any case until the soil really
turns wat•tll,
Even Balkan
Experts Differ
Pronunciation of Names in
News Proves Difficult
Balkan authorities in New York
differ considerably upon the pro-
nhtuclation of place names recently
prominent is tIhe news. Talce your
choice.
Skoplje, the important Yugoslav
centre, can be pronounced Scope-
lee-yeh, according to the Slavonic
languages branch of the New York
Public Library, or more briefly,
Scope-lya, according to the Yugo -
slay Legation.
Ljubljana is Lyu-blya•na to both
authorities, and they also agree on
Sarajevo as Sara-yevo.
Bitolj Southern Yugoslav city, is
'variously Bee•toll-ee and bee -toll.
A similar difficulty exists in oh-
taining the exact English spoken
equivalent of Greek names, al-
though the differences are not so
great.
For Instance, the Struma vol•
ley where the Greeks made their
herioe stand Is pronounced Stream•
a and Stream -on, with the "n"
sound very slight.
Similarly the Nevrojcopi plateau
is pronounced Nevro•eope-e and

Now is the time to heed the old adage about an
- ounce of prevention being better than a pound of
cure, and start putting a small amount of Wam-
• pole's Hygeol in the drinking fountains to prevent
your baby chicks dying, off with white diarrhea.
Oftentimes the chick is carrying the germ when
hatched, therefore, treatment should start with the
first drinking water. (Don't use metal containers).
Hygeol is a dependable preventative and remedy for
white diarrhea. Get a 35c or 60c bottle here today.
