Give It Air!
When using soft coal hi the furnace,
the slide damper In the fire door
should always be left open. The gas
given off by this type of coal must
be mixed with air to btn'n properly'.
Mien' adding fresh coal, the glowing
coals should be raked to one side and
the fresh coal added to the other side.
A 1an6o area of glowing red opals must
be loft to igutte the gas from the fresh
coal.

OTTAWA REPORTS
That New Regulations Will
Tighten Control On Purchase
Of Farm Machinery
I'artn machinery production and
dee is being watched anxiously
by the Government these days.
Ottawa is very conscious of the
fact that vital food produotlon
may be affected by any miscalcu•
rations of the requirement of the
farmers In this direction.
In spite of the fact that quota('
for manufacture of farm equip-
ment have been very considerably
enlarged during recent months,
new equipment is still difficult to
obtain compared with normal
times. It is still necessary to ra-
tion a wide variety of items of
farm ma.chlnery and equipment
and to otherwise control the sale
of these goods, and the Adnlnie-
+trator of Farm Machinery for the
Wartime Prices and Trade Board
bas announced some new 'raga -
fattens which tighten the control
over conditions under which new

Forges of Freedom

Like a tapestry comp to life

England presents a vivid pa nor.
aura of life In that romantic and
turbulent age when the roads of
England were the meeting -place
of knights and minstrels, merch-
ants and pedlars, outlaws and
conspit'ators.
Mr. McDowell ro-creates brli-
llantly the medieval scene and the
pattern of lite in Englund when,
atter three hundred years of Nor-
man occupation, Englishmen from
every walk of lite drew their
swords or forged them to fight
for freedom.
There are many dramatic meet.

the pageantry of the period: the
meeting of John of Gaunt and the
"(hoseers"; the march on London
when Watt Tyler met the King
and his followers with Slr John

Rose and their partisans.

Roosevelt said "there are now 1,-

Mother's Example
By way of contrast there was
the mother of a young boy nam-
ed Jim. She never went to bed ao
long as an air raid warning last-
ed, but stood at the door trem-
bling, insisting that the boy, only
five, Stand beside her, Separated
faun her, lie lost almost all his
nereous habits and showed no
special alarm when the sirens
sounded.
• "'file point is," explained a
ataff member, "that children rely
so much upon the adults around
thein, So long as the grown-up
remains cams so does the child."
Apart from fitting a child into
t:.e next best thing to his own
home—a nursery where there is a
continuing happy fancily — the
therapy employed is mainly an
application of the well-known
principle of child psychology that
the best way to overcome fright
is to play over and over again
the experience: that caused fear.
Thus, the children beyond the
baby stage have taken up air
raid games, and more recently
commando gamey, the 1913 equiv-
alent of "cops and robbers" or
"cowboys and Indians."
Grouse and Quail
• Scarce In Ontario
Sportsmen who have visited
Northern Ontario this ''all report
that the ranks of the partridge
(the American ruffed grouse)
tiro becoming pretty well deplet-
ed, according to The Chatham
Nev.sSome years ago this splen-
did game bird, after a period of
protection, increased in num-
bers and afforded sonic good
hunting. Here in this section of
Ontario they have been scarce
this fall.. Possibly the revere
weather.' and heavy snowfall ex-
perienced last winter, which cov-
ered their food supply, destroy-
ed some of them. Probably a good
many others fell victim to the
gunners, If the ruffed grouse
aro again to become plentiful
In the swamps and on the wood-
ed ridges they must be left un-
disturbed another year or two.
As to the quail or bob -white, it
is very questionable whether
there should again be an open
season for thgi handsome game
bird whose habitat in Ontario
practically is confined to the
southern corner. The quail falls
easy prey to the gunner, and is
but 111•equlppcd to make much
of a fight for existence. The
huntsmen could well lease the
bob -whites unmolested, and con-
fine their hunting to the part-
ridge and the pheasant, which
are better adapted to look out
for themselves.
Armistice Coach

The newspaper Aftonbladat
quoted Swedish eyewitnesses as
saying that last week's raids on
Merlin had destroyed the famous
French Compiegne railway coach
in which the 1918 and 1940 arm-
istices were signed.
The eyewitr esses said the
Zeughaus (war museum) on Ber-

was leveled. The Germans sign-

CHAPTER XI
SYNOPSIS
Dave Bruce, out of a Job, ar-
rives at Wilbur Ferris' Cross -Bar
ranch. Curran, the foreman, prom -
lies him a Job If he can break a
horse called Black Dawn, When
he succeeds, he discovers Curran
expected the horse to kill him.
A girl named Lois rides up, angry
with Dave for breaking "her"
horse. She refuses to speak to
Dave even when he uses his sav-
Inge to pay off the mortgage on
the small ranch she shares with
her foster father, a man named
Hooker. When Hooker Is killed by
a shot flred through the window,
Lola hae him arrested for murder.
Faced with almost certain hang -
log, Dave le awaiting his trial
when Curran goes to call on Lois.
"Well, Miss Lois, this shore is
bad news," Curran Bald, and Lots
could see that his face was black-
ened and his lip badly swollen
from the beating that Dave had
given him the day before.
"It doesn't make any difference
now," Bald Lois gravely. "Hook-
er's dead, I guess you fellows are
going to hang Dave Bruce."
"Yon hetcha we are!" shouted
Curran, "We don't aim to have
no dirty murderers livIn' and fat -
bald Lois. "Von were net er n ape -
:.1a1 friend of mine, as far as I
remember."
"Maybe I could be," said the
foreman. "Maybe I've tried to be,
Listen. I guess you know I stand
lu puny well with Mr. Ferris.
Fact 1s, he couldn't git rid of ale
even if he wanted to. it ain't no
secret to you that Lonergan's got
the mortgage on the Cross -Bar,
and put 1410 411 to run It?"
• • •
Lois wa s silent, and Curren con-
tinued, "I shouldn't lie s'prlsed if
I was to be the owner of tete Cross -
Bar one of these clays, Half -own-
er, anyways. And that time ain't
so far away. I been watchln' you
for a good while, MIss Lois,
You're growed up to be a woman
now. It ain't fair to yoreself,
divin' up here In the hills and run-
nin' as wild as a scrub pony. And
now Ifooker's gone, yuh can't go
on livin' here alone."
"What d'yon want m0 to do
about it?"
"I'11 tell you what I been think -
:n'," answered the foreman, au -
pronely confident. "How about
you and me gittin' bitched? You'll
find yoreself llvin' like a queen,
compared to this,"
'"I'hat's s u r 0 tome picture

"Yon try that Irick again, Mr. Curran, and I'll set the herd on yon."
tenin' in the jail at the expense
of the town, and saddlln' us with
the cost of a jury trial at Hamp-
ton. Wo always acted on that prin-
ciple, and we're always gout' to do
so, There's goin' to bo some fun
tonight, Miss Lois."
"I'll be there," said Lois.
"Meanie' yuh want to see the
feller dance?"
Lois nodded, Curran looked at
her curiously at first; then, as his
eyes tool( in the lines of her slen-
der body, his face flushed. Ile
took another step toward her and
stood looking down at her. She
hardly reached to his shoulder.
"What yell almIn' to do now
yore dad's dead?" lie asked, as the
sheriff had done.
"I haven't made my plans,"
Lois answered. "I reckon I know
how to mind my business, Mr.
Curran."
Curran flushed. "Why the Mis-
ter?" he asked, "And how conte
you call yoro dad Hooker?"
"Maybe you can tell as well as
1 can," answered Lois.
That was Curran's first Intima•
tion that she knew Hooker had
not been her father. He had sense
enough not to pursue the sub-
ject, but it acted like the fuse -cap
on a stick of dynamite, clinching
Ills resolution.
"You never acted very warns to-
ward me, slid yuh?" he asked.
` "1 don't know wily I should,"
wered Lois. "Only It don't seem
to register somehow, I'd rather
have my broncs."
Curran glared at her, a self-pos-
sessed little figure, standing erect
in her chaps and stained over-
alls. With ono hand he could have
swung her Into the air. Desire
and thwarted will united in the
resolve to overcome here, to break
her, as Dave Bruce had broken
Black Dawn.
• . *
Ito seized her in his amts and
tried to press his lips to hers.
A resounding slap reddened the
foreman's cheek. Lois broke away,
confronting him with fists clench-
ed and heaving breast.
"You try that trick again, Mr.
Curran, and I'll set the herd on
you," she said,
Curarn's glare had something of
fear in it. Ile hind seen enough
of Lots' strange power over the
wild broncs.
He turned away, went slowly
back to where he had left his
horse, climbed into the saddle.
"You think over what I said," he
called. "You'd bo crazy to turn
flown a proposition like that.
Think you'll be gittin' a better
one, huh? I'll see yuh at the
hangin', and I'll be comin' hack
here for my answer soon."
Lois watched him ride away.
She felt perfectly secure. A
whistle front her would have
bronght the herd running head -

There's No Short
Cut to Victory
For nearly two years we have
been bombing German cities ms.ny
times more heavily than London
was ever bombed. The Nazis
haven't yet shown one definite
sign of cracking, warns the Fin-
ancial Pont.
Three nulnthl ago we landed on
the mainland of Italy. At no time
halo we registered a sustained
advance of more than a few miles,
Along the whole coast of Western
Europe the rounlry is mined and
studded with guns of all calibres
to a depth of it hundred miles,
'ro these torniidablo defences has
now been iulded win ler.
These facts iso not point to any
chert cut to victory. As Prime
Ailuister Churchill warned In Lon-
don the other day, there Is no in-
dication that we can win this war
without a staggering hill in blood
and treasure.
It is possible that Germany
might collapse before the armies
of the Western democracies are
called upon to face an Armageddon
in Eastern b urope. But we would
be blind fools to count on such
an outcome.; to ease in our war
effort, to weaken our national
capacity to withstand horror and
disaster by assuming that we are
now pretty well out of the woods.

For Johnny Canuck
I/
Early this year Canadian air-
men were posted to a spot near
a picturesque Yorkshire village
with old-world green, Maypole,
duck pond and homely inn, says
The Leeds Yorkshire Post. They
found their way in due course to
the fun, where the landlady was
interested to hear them talking
wistfully of corn•on-t.he•cob and
other delicacies of their home-
towns. Slie bought some maize
seeds, planted them in the garden
behind the inn, and eventually
gathered and cooked genuine cobs
for the delighted Canadians.
This is just one of the many
stories the Canadian airmen tell
about the inn where they enjoy
the warmth of Yorkshire hospil•
slily when off duty. Many of
then', drafted away, conic hack to
spend their leave in the village
—and the inn, It is a home -frons
home for them,

FRANCES LANGFORD
Radio's loveliest! Radio's fun -
sliest! Those aro the phrases
which have been used to describe
Trances Langford and Bob Hope.
Maybe you heard Bob Hope's ra-
tite riot of laughs which was
broadcast for the first time over
a dominion wide 21 -station net-
work of the CDC last Tuesday
10 to 10.30 p.nt, Radio's top fun -
maker is in rare form these days,
gagging and quipping at a mile a
minute, ably supported by the ono
and only Professor Jerry Colonna,
beautiful Frances Langford, "not -
so -vague" Vera Vague and Stan
Renton, and his orchestra. Canad-
ian radio fans will welcome the
Bob Hope show to Canadian sta-
tions. From now on the series
Neill be heard every Tuesday eve -
zing,
• r •
Bob Hope returned only a few
weeks ago from a 6 months tour
in the interests of maintaining
the good humour of the fighting
men and women of Britain and
the Mediterranean zone. Bob ad -
rafts that he was terribly fright-
ened when the enemy dropped
bombs close by (during one of his
performances . . . say's he would
give Ills shirt to bo iu Clark
Gable's shoes, Clark Gable has al-
ready taken part in flying oper-
ations over Germany. Meanwhile.
Bob Hope is keeping up his end
preserving our sense of humour
on the home front. As for Frances
Langford. well she obviously Is
preserving our sense of propor-
tions . . feminine proportions.

While we're on the subject, it
might seem appropriate to give a
hearty slap on the back to Foster

lien 111, radio's are hockey broad-
caster, who Is doing a swell job
of maintaining our sense of sport-
manship on they mune front, Fos-
ter Hewitt has stayed close to
the 3faplo Leat' Microphone for
about 20 years, but many of his
tans have moved far and wide.
This season Foster tells the story
of hockey not alone for Canadian
and United States listeners, but
for men and women In the sole
vices to Newfoundland and those
in the areas of conflict far across
the oceans, Many people wonder
how he keeps fit for the eMacting
grind of describing to rapid mo-
tion ono and a half horn's of
hockey. The answer is by going
to the "Y" for stiff workouts.
• • •
And not alone in sports has
radio proved a link between home
and fighting fronts, Throughout
1943 -we at home were kept in
close touch with all United Na-
tions' efforts and achievements,
We heard encouraging Messages
from our King and Queen and
from our leaders, Churchill end
Roosevelt. Our boys overseas
maintained via radio a personal
link with home as they listened
to shortwave broadcasts by fav-
ourite
avourite stars. They sent tis their
messages via the microphouo —
you sent messages to them—they
enjoyed brief glimpses of home,
And in 1944 radio sets out to
forget still deeper this invaluable
link between hone and overseas
listeners . . . between you and

you and absent loved ones . .
between you and those v,ilo plan

Aro you back to your stride
again—back to normal after all
the excitement that goes with that
special event which we call
Christmas.
It was quite a good Christmas
on the whole, wasn't it? Perhaps
you had a pleasant surprise by
one or more of your family corn-
ing home atter you had given
tip all hope of their being able
lo get there at all. I know of sev-
eral such instances and I hope
there were many more that I did
not hear about et all,
We had a very quiet Christmas
—the quletiest. I think, that we
have over known. But it was
happy one for all that, Yes, even
Though son Bob was away from
home for Christmas for the first
time in his life, yet, since he is
'till In Canada we knew wo had
no need to be unduly anxious on
Ifs account.
Young John wasn't here either.
The people for whom he works
took him with them to Toronto
tor Christmas so we knew he was
bappy and provided for.
And Daughter? Well, Daughter
was here—and is yet. She is on
sight work this week and does
not have to start work until Mon-
day night, That gave her a grand
break. It to the longest time she
las spent at home since she
started in on her war job. And
what a grand Christmas present
she bad for us—there is absolute -
1► nothing that could have pleased
is better. It was an enlargement
of a photograph of she and her
brother taken together last time
be was home on furlough. How
she ever managed to get Bob rop-
ed in for anything like that I
don't know. But there it is—
Thanks to her scheming—and a
photograph of our two taken to-
gether means tar more to us at
present than two separate photos.
Today Is officially known as
Boxing Day and at long last Can-
ada Is beginning to observe it as
an atter-Christmas holiday. When
we first came to Canada no one
seemed to know anything about
Boxing Day—what It meant or
what it was for. Each year Christ -
piss Day would be celebrated and
tee nest day stores would be

t10 F111110 as usual, At least it was
supposed to be—but that is as far
as it went. Stores would be open
and weary -eyed salesclerks on
hand to wait on prospective cus-
tomers—very few of whom ever
showed up. Most of thein were
where the salesclerks would liked
to have been—at hone and relax-
ing atter Christmas celebrations.
8o I think holding Boxing Day
as a holiday to a splendid idea
and ono which I hope will con-
tinuo if only for the sake of store-
keepers and their assistants. Aft-
er all, say what you will, Christ-
mas Is somewhat of an ordeal,
but there is not one of UR that
would want to cut it out. No, wo
wouldn't want to do anything so
drastio as that. All we really need
is Boxing Day In which to relax
and we will celebrate Christmas
every year to the end of time.
.And now we are on the brink
of another year—a year which
General Eisenhower said so def-
initely would bring us victory.
That. coupled with news of the
sinking of the German battleship
is surely a good start for 1944,
May each week as it conies bring
tie news of bigger and better vie -
tortes. But while we long for
peace we must also remember
that peace has its price, and we
also need to make up our minds
as to what we shall do with our
peace when we get it. I remember

THE LESSON iN ITS SETTING

6o11 uecul'1'eil in the sullllller of
A.lt, 28, with the exception of
our Lord's statement regnrding
the unpardonable sin, and our
intimate relation to Ilim, which
occurred in the autumn of A.D.
28.
1'lacc—:111 events occurred in
or near the city of Capernaum,
with the exception of the dis-
course of Christ en the Sabbath
Day, and the related miracle of
healing, which occurred some-
where in Galilee, but apparently
not in the city of Capernaum,
Jesus and the Sabbath
"And it calve to pass, that he
was going on the Sabbath day
through the 1, *rain field s; and his
disciples began, as they went, to
pluck. the ears, And the Pharisees
said unto him, Behold, why do
they on the Sabbath day that
which is not lawful? And he said
unto them, Did ye never read
what David did, when he had
need; and was hungry, he and
they that were with hint? How he
entered into the house of God
when Abiathar was high priest,
and ate the showbread, which it
is not lawful to eat save for the
priests, and gave also to them
that were with hint."
At once the Pharisees felt they
had something by which they
could condemn the Lord, and
their condemnation they thought,
would be unnnswerable, But our
Lord justifies Ilis act. He reminds
them of an incident occurring in
the life of their own king, David,
recorded in their own Scriptures
(1 Sant 21:1-6) in which David,
together with his men when hun-
gry, went into the house of God
and ate the showbread which it
was not lawful for any man to
eat but the priests,
Sabbath Made for Man
"And he said unto them, the
Sebhatli was made for elan, and
not man for the Sabbath." ]f
loan is an immortal soul, created
with the power of fellowship
with trod, then a Sabhath is prop-
erly spent .in scem'ing refresh-
ment for body and mind, but
more particularly in seeking and
employing the opportunity for
sph'iival growth and divine com-
munion.
"So that the son of maul is lord
even of the Sabbath." Jesus, on
this occasion vindicated the dis-
ciples who ate the ears of grain
and also lie had a dispensing
power to give thele this permis-
sion as Lord also of the Sab-
bath.
Scribes Watch Jesus
"And he entered again into the
synagogue; and there was a man
there who had his hand withered,
And they watched him, whether
ho would heal him on the Sab-
bath day; that they might ac-
cuse him. And he saith unto the
man that had his hand withered,
'tend forth,"
The enemies of Jesus, always
question—"What sort of a world
do you want to live in after the
war?" And she answered "Well,
I think I would like it to bo much
the same as it was before the war
touted?" Would that bo your ans-
wer? It wouldn't be nine, and I
don't think it would be the aus-
ever of anyone who has lived on a
farm for the last twenty years,
Wo would like to be sure that
everyone will have a chance to
earn a living. Give everyone a
chance of a job and most of our
economic problem would auto-
matically solve themselves.
.And now, if you'll excuse me,
my job is to feed the chickens.
Isn't that always the way—just
when you are ready to tackle a
big job there is always a little
job to do right at home.

THOSE ROUGHNECKS
BOOED ME OFP THE
STAGE LAST Nl(w -
AVENGERS STALK JAPS ON BOUGAINVILLE
Casualties were light when the maid force of American troops took their beachhead on New
Britain's Arawe Peninsula, but the above pleturo shows that a big element of luck was it}volved.
American landing boats ere shown dodging between the bursts of bombs dropped by Jap planes, which
also machine-gunned the invaders, Yet only two LCV 's were lost, and none of the Navy ships was lilt.
watching for an occasion to con-
demn flim, watch now to see if
Jesus would heal this elan on the
Sabbath day, for certainly if Ile
ao chose He could have waited
one more day to perform an act
of healing, but it would seem
they expected IIim to cure the
man there, It has become so di-
vine a custom of Itis to heal that
although there was only one man
in the synagogue with disease,
and that such as alight have been
easily overlooked, they expect
that it will not escape His grac-
ious notice, Thus out of His
abundant goodness they mean in
their baseness to construct a
Snare.
Doing Good on Sabbath
"And he saith unt ) them, Is it
lawful on the Sabbath da;, to do
good, or to do harm? To save a
life, or to kill? But they held
their peace," Our Lord insinuates
that if an opportunity to do good
arises on the Sabbath day, and we
do not take advantage of the op-
portunity, but leave the good un-
done, by so doing we have really
done evil. There is nothing here
to indicate our Lord is repudiat-
ing the fourth commandment.
He is telling these men that their
regulations regarding this law
were of infinitely less import-
ance than doing good to amen,
who were in need.
Leper Is Healed
"And when he had looked
round about on them with anger,
being grieved at the hardening of
their heart, he saith unto the
man, Stretch forte thy hand.
.And he stretched it forth; and
his hand was restored." This
miracle was remarkable for sev-
eral reasons, It w' IS wrought in
direct challenge to the scribes to
defend, on divine principles,
some of their burdensome sab-
batical regulations — Jesus pub-
licly separated Himself from the
scribes. It was wrought without
the employment of any external
means either of word or touch —
the disease was not rebuked nor
was the man touched,
The Plot Against Jesus
"And the Pharisees went out,
and straightway with the Herod -
'Lana took counsel against hint,
how they might destroy him."
The Pharisees were the patriotic
party among the Jews: the
Herodians favored the Roman
government, and were their na-
tural enemies. For such men to
make common ca1100 against
Jesus, showed how violent was
their anger and how desperate
was their hatred. When Wren fail
to receive truth as truth, they
will resist it, and, in the case of
our Lord, these Pharisees will
not only resist what He is try-
ing to reveal to them, but they
will ultimately plot to put Him
to death, whose truth they call a
lie and whose own lives He is
condemning,

United States Army announced

C-87 planes, the cargo version
of the Consolidated 13-24 Lib-

October, was a 28,000-m11e round
trip in 12 days, including loading
and unloading time.
Outbound, this first flight car-
ried 8,300 pounds of such equip-
ment as airplane fuel pumps,
starters and tuagnetos. On the
return trip, it carried 8,500
pounds of damaged parts to be

The exact route was not dis-

It used to take weeks to get to

added to the water will produce
more brilliancy.

of turpentine. Use a sponge and
rub the oilcloth with this solus
tion,
Q. How can I make a salve for
chapped hands?
A, A remedy can bo made by
mixing ten dropa of carbolic acid

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
1. 1e it good form fur a man
to refer to his wife as "the
missus"?
2, Should wedding invitations
Ise sent to friends of the bride-
groom, who are unknown to the
bride?
3, What kinds of food may bo
placed on the table before the
guests are seated?
4, is it correct to say, "I
haven't had time to write to you
beca .so 1 have been so busy"
when answering a letter after a
long delay?
6, hoes the family of the bride
or that of the bridegroom, send
out the wedding invitatlops and
announcements?
6, Is it all right to break bread
or crackers into the bowl when
partaking of soup?
Answers
1, No; to acquaintances he
should refer to her as "my wife"
or as "Mrs. Blank," and to
friends he should call her by her
Christian mune. 2. Yes; invite,
tions should be sent to them even
though the bride doesn't know
them. 3, Olives, radishes, salted
almonds, or any other similar
relishes. •1, No, if you are embar-
rassed about the delay merely
say that you are sorry, 5. This is
the duty of the bride's family, 6.
No; this is not good manners.
