That God is speaking loudly to us in these days of trial must be obvious to us all. He is permitting the war to produce just those conditions which reveal the folly and sin of all our past indifference to His claims. But are we learning the lesson? A minister in a South Coast town has expressed it in a very striking way, as follows: We have preferred motor travel to church-going. . . . Now there is a shortage of motor fuel. We have ignored the ringing of the church hells calling us to worship, , . . Now the bells cannot ring except to warn of invasion. We have left the churches half empty when they should have been filled with worshippers. . . . New they are in ruins. We would not listen to the way of peace. . . .

Meeting opened by sing ing hymns, aftei* which Mrs. Edgar Cudmore led in prayer, was answered by our Prayer Life.” last meeting were read and it was moved by Mrs. E. Miller and sec onded by Mrs. G. Parker that they be adopted. The offering was then received. Mrs. Gordon Parker gave a very inspiring address on Jesus teaching His disciples on the boat and Jesus ■ rebuking the storm and saying, “Peace, be still?’ One of ■ the main thoughts was of how Je sus speaks peace to our souls. Miss Peart then read an article which was sent to Parliament on the li quor question regarding t soldiers and camps. A discussion was then held in connection with obtaining fruit for jam-making for the Cross. It was decided that Peart should find out about same and report on Sunday. Scripture lesson was then read al ternately from Psalm 111, after which the remainder of the meet ing was spent in prayer. Hymn, "Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me”, was sung and Mrs. Clemens closed with prayer. war-time control of orchard insects The most serious shortage in in sect pest control work during the war period, promises to be in spray ing equipment and sprayer repair parts, said C. E. Fetch, Hemming ford Laboratory, Entomological Division, Science Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, in an address on “War-Time Insect Con trol of Apple Orchards” at the re cent annual meeting of the Quebec Society for the Protection of Plants. Sprayers of the better types were not now available, and because manufacturers were producing only limited supplies of repair parts, fruit growers may expect inconven ience and loss unless their mach ines are given very careful atten tion. % ( Remember that the careful words you speak May cling in memory a lifetime through; That a quick gesture to accent a truth May make an imprint on some mind, of you; That if there is a new thought you can bring, It may unseal some hitherto dry spring, And if you please the Master at your task— There is no greater thing the heart can ask! —Grace Noll 'Crowell * * * AIR-RAID SHELTER IN JERUSALEM Air-Raid Shelter at Jerusalem Some years ago a man named Richard Barclay was walking with his dog in the streets of Jerusa lem, when suddenly the animal dis appeared in a crevice in the rock. In his efforts to rescue his friend, Barclay accidentally ered the opening of a long, ground tunnel leading into subterranean, chamber. evidently an ancient stone quarry, some ruge blocks of rock remain ing partially detached from the walls, and in one chamber the flooi* was deeply covered with chips of stone knocked off by the work man’s chisel. It is now generally believed that this was the source from which the stone was taken to build the temple; since the Bible specifically mentions that no sound; of the artisan’s tools was to be heard at the actual site of the build ing. These huge quarries have now been fitted up as air-raid shelters, and the ■entrances made smooth and safe. It seems strange that a work undertaken by the Jewish nation so long -ago, should come to mean safety for them in the face of this modern enemy at whose hand they have suffered so‘much. * » # canine uncov- under- a vast This was AN EASY WAY TO KEEP BEEF is or of salt—so much that get “heat cramps.” see to it that there the drinking water let for GOOD AFTER MATURITY DATE Sugar ration coupons are good any time after their individual ma turity dates, according to the War time Prices and Trade Board, Tlfe board said that while the first coupon could not be used before July 1, the second before July 13, the third before July 27, the’fourth before August 10 and the fifth be fore August 24, all coupons are valid at any time after their ma turity dates.

Members of the clans came from Detroit, London, Strathroy, . Ailsa Craig, Sarnia, Dresden, Grand Bend, Dashwood and other* points. After a sumptuous dinner served in true picnic style John 0. Mc Donald, of London, presided at a short business meeting and was re-elected for another year. Other officers are; Vice-president, Thos, Turnbull, Sarnia; secretary-treasur er, Lillian McDonald, London; table committee, Mr. Sands, Dresden; well Turnbull, committee, Mr. Payne, Strathroy; Robert Turnbull, Dashwood. It was agreed to meet at Hillsboro Beach on the third Wed nesday of July next year. In view of the shortage of rubber, care would have to be used in the preservation of the sprayer hose. When the hose was not in use for long periods it should be protected 1 by hanging it from the peak of the barn, inside, or coiled and placed in a cool, moist place, such as the root cellar. The tank filler hose which is expensive and is rendered useless by a small break, should be hung from a rafter when not in use. Worn discs reduce the spray pressure, especially if spray brooms are used. The discs are cheap and should he replaced frequently. Costs could I saved 1 chards where i were suitable. Several orchard operations could be used to eliminate in great mea sure the use of insecticides. For example, injury from mice might be reduced by clearing sod or mulch for a radius of two feet around the trees and filling the space with gravel, crushed stone, or ‘ cinders. If hawthorn and wild apple trees were removed from the proximity of orchards, a serious round-headed apple tree borer in fection would be removed. Filling in the space with gravel would1’ further reduce the menace. The proper de struction of fallen apples would greatly lessen the damage by apple maggot. Also, of great importance in pest control, particularly of cur- culios, was the removal of stone walls, thickets, and hedges, and the elimination of wild cherry would reduce tent caterpillar infes tations. Other precautions, such as bark scraping and wound dressing all have their place in reducing the need for spraying. Injuries from insect pests are always much more severe near collections of trash and woods. ' ’ Wastp and frills are out of fash ion!

Considerate care of household fabrics is just as important as care ful buying. Buy washable fabrics whenever possible. Dirt is the enemy of fabric life.

DEVELOPING LAYING STOCK to source of FLIES CAUSE INFANTILE PARALYSIS • Investigations by medical scientists indicate that fly-infected foods are one of the principal causes of Infantile Paralysis (Poliomyelitis). Every fly allowed to live is a potential menace to human health. KILL THEM ALL WITH There are two cardinal points be remembered in developing good laying stock: to select the best pullets from high production ances try and, to assist the development of their laying qualities by good care and management. An outline of the practice ’ fol lowed at the Dominion Experimen tal Farm, Nappan, N.S., may be of interest to Maritime poultrymen. The housing consists of a permanent brooder pen size 16 feet by 16 feet divided into two sections, each pro- videdNyvith a brooder having a maxi mum capacity of three hundred day- old chicks. The 'brooder is started at a temperature of about 9 0 de grees F. around the outside edge of the brooder and gradually reduc ed as the chickens grow older. Care ful attention is necessary during the brooder period to prevent ex cessive heat, . over-crowding or a severe chilling of the chicks. Plan er shavings or cut straw is used as litter and is changed about every ten days. One two-quart contain-1 er and one two-foot reel hopper are provided for .each fifty chicks, in creasing the number dishes and feed hopper chicks grow older. The ration for weeks consists of chick starter only; this period grain is fed in the pro portion of two parts mash to one part grain, by weight. The chicks are allowed to run on an outside wire platform as a preparation for range conditions. When placed on range at about six to eight weeks of age, each one hundred chicks are given access to one-quarter acre and provided with a range house size 9 feet by 10 feet. At the beginning of this period the proportion of grain to home- mixed mash is gradually increased to two parts by weight of grain to one of mash.
