"I have been a faithful and con- siderate wife, Anne Hirst, as much of a companion as he would al- low. I've done everything I know to keep hien true to me.

If he had * any imagination, he would for- * see the day these children will * despise him. * Tell him, too, that from now. * on you expect him to be kinder * to you, and do his part toward * making the house a real home * for his wife and family. Remind * him how much you have to put * up with, and from now on he * must be different -or else, * It must have been a tragic * day for you when you found * that the man you loved was ac- * tually a ruthless brute. * Yet even then, you stayed with * him, hoping he would change. * You stayed loyal, too, through * all his betrayals and your humil- * iations, even when he used physi- * cal violence against you. The * courage, and the constant renew- * al of faith which some wives * show, is more than such a man * deserves. Well, you have had enough. * Give him his choice -and add * that the first time he fails to * live up to his word, he will find * himself alone. * * * If your husband's cruelties have gone too far, take a stand and stick to it.

Trading posts mushroomed along its banks, usu- ally at the mouth of some linking stream. Each spring Canadian fur brigades swept down for the two weeks of good times and business at Grand Portage. The mideontin- mer, when the furs had been ex- changed for trading goods and a few gaudy luxuries, they toiled west again. It was a masterpiece of disciplined organization, that annual trip to meet the proprietors at Grand Portage. The miscontin- ent rendezvous cleared the news for thousands of miles, news of wars in Europe and America, of fabulous fortunes in furs in the Northwest and rumours of Russian aggresinn from Alaska .. . Trade was the paramount traffic on the hgihway.

Such ambidexterity is rare today, for ninety-five per cent. of people are right-handed. Movements of the right hand are dictated by the left side of the brain, yet some scient- ists are convinced that if we exer- cised the right side of the brain and thus became ambidextrous, we would all be happier and healthier, .A. London schoolteacher who taught his pupils to use both hands found that they became more cheerful and better scholars. The artist Landseer often used both hands to execute his master- pieces. He could, at the same time, draw a dog with the right hand and a stag's head with the left hand, The Belgian artist, Constan- tin Meunier, frequently sketched his figures with both hands at once, beginning at the feet and sweeping the two pieces of charcoal rapidly upward until they stet at the head. In ourown time, the late Lord Baden-Powell (founder of the Scout movement) possessed the un- usual gift of being able to write different scripts with both hands simultaneously. And some years ago a retired Tunbridge Wells Army officer claimed that he fre- quently "wrote with both hands in opposite directions at the same time" -no mean feat when you come to think of if. Charles Reade, the novelist, maintained that everybody could and should be trained to do every- thing equally well with both hands, Itis on record that one man had what scientists; call "selective am- bidexterity." He was fond of sport and bowled with his left hand, batted with his right, and played billiards with his left. He could use a tennis racket equally well with either hand, but when he played football he tended to use his left leg for kicking more often than his right! He invariably shaved holding the razor in his left hand. Another man who for years made equal use of both hands used to tell his friends: "Fifty per cent. of bodily power which now lies. idle can be brought into operation by the practice of ambidexterity."

We also dimly re- member the death of Queen Vic- toria. But at no- other time have we been quite so stunned and grieved as we were last Wednes- day when the tragic news came over the radio that King George VI had passed away in his sleep. Bend yet if, as Mr. Churchill said, for the last few months the King had "walked with Death" then death finally came to him in its most gentle and merciful guise. In fact one might say that death dealt with the King more kindly than had Life. As a monarch King George til. had surely faced far greater difficulties than had most of his predecessors. Oue thing is certain, the reaction of the whole world to the news of the King's death should settle once and for all the controversial question as to whether of not the British Throne means anything at all to the people of the British Empire and to the world beyond. ',ad now we have a Queen , . a lovely and gracious young wife and mother, who, -for the sake of her Empire, must now sacrifice all hope of a carefree and happy life as most young married women know it. How glad we are that the young Royal collide were able to visit Canada before this heavy re- sponsibility came upon them. Now we know then not only as the Queen and Prince. Consort but as Elizabeth and Philip who won the hearts of Canadian people from coast to coast. The King_ is dead. Long live the Queen. There is something so significant in those statements. Behind them lies the power, and the pageantry -and the continuity of the British throne. * a Down in this part of Ontario we have been experiencing every kind of weather -rain, snow, wind and fog -but no extreme tempera- tures for the last two weeks. And we have been anxiously watching the coal -bin. Early in December 2 looked at our seven -ton coal pile and wondered what we were going to do with it all -up to that date we had hardly used any at all, the insulation had been so satis- factory, But since then, because we have had so much wind and stormy weather the coal has van- ished with amazing rapidity. Late- ly we have lcnown that we must have more coal• brought in. But how? That was the question. To get to our cellar window the truck must come over one of the fields. When it could have got in we didn't think we should need any more coal. When we were sure we would teed it then the snow was piled high across the field to the house. Eventually the snow went away -and then the Land was too soft, the truck would have been mired. But one night last week there was a good frost, The next night it was even sharper. The following morning, after a con- sultation with Partner, I ordered a ton of coat --if it could delivered that morning. It was in the bin within the !tour. That same night it thawed again. Were we lucky! With the changeable weather we get in Canada these days no one can really afford to take chances. Last year, because of the mutt, our last ton of coal had to be dumped into the driving -sited. Carrying coal across the yard by the scuttle- fut wasn't Partner's idea of doing thinge the catty way! eupcycle-When Czechoslovakian refugee Walter Fischer decided to turn out his streamlined ver- sion of the bicycle, he didn't for- get to provide space for the family pup.

Or can one read too much? Here are a few of the books I have read just recently. "Children of the Archbishop" by Norman Collins. A good book to read and a splendid choice to buy as a gift. It has been described as "A modern Dickens." "Rettny's Daughter"-Mazo de la Roche -typically Mazo style - and that, of course, is good. "The Voice of Asia" -not so well written in a Literary sense but a most informative book in veiw of developments in Asia at the present time. Definitely a book to read -and packed full of interest. "The Unfulfilled" by W. G. Har- dy. A. wonderful book -someone' should send a copy to the Con- gressman who thinks the U.S.A. should buy Canada! Towards the end of the book one of the prin- cipal characters says this -"What would the Canadian become? The Anglo -Canadian, at least, Was taking shape. He was largely Ain- erican in talk and habits. But - and this might be a saving grace -there was in hint also a resis- tance to and criticism of things American. It might be the pull to Britain, At any rate a Canadian literature was developing, present- ing Canadians as they were." Sex is dragged itt like a red herring. The moral code which supposedly governs decent -living people is treated as outdated and unnecessary. Marc's the pity.

Warren, B.A., Our Beloved Barnabas Acts 4:36-39;'9:26-271 11:19-26. , Memory Selection: lie was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. Acts 11:24, joses earned the name given to hint by the apostles. He was indeed a son of consolation as his name Barnabas signified. In the early days of the church he sold his land in Cyprus and turned the money over to the apostles, Then we find !nim consoling the new convert, Saul. While the apostles suspected Saul's sincerity Barnabas befriended hint and won a place for him among the leaders. ' Later Barnabas was despatched to Antioch the Gentile center, to assist the. new believers. Shortly after his arrival he went to Tarsus and secured Saul to assist' him. Then we find hint heading a relief mission to Judea where famine had caused great need. But his work of . consolation was not completed. He and Saul were despatched by the Antioch Church under Divine guid- ance to, carry the Gospel to Cyprus and Asia Minor, Before they had left Cyprus the pair were no longer known as Barnabas' and Saul but Paul and Barnabas. The man whom Barnabas had befriended and guid- ed uided now became his superior. Again we find Barnabas at Jeru- salem, This time he along with Paul contended with those who would have brought the Gentile Christians under the legalism of Judiasm. They won in the cause of Christian liberty. Then Paul and Barnabas parted over the question as to whether or not Mark, nephew of Barnabas, who had deserted them on the first journey should be per- mitted to accompany them on the second. We think that even in this he was still "the son of consolation.' Mark made good so that even Paul called for him when imprisoned in Rome. Barnabas was a good man. Bury Wires,' Not Pilots! In any future war, small. air- ports and runways will play an im- portant role in the defence of the nation, and it would seem like a good idea while there is yet time to make then as safe as possible by removing all nearby and sur- rounding obstructions that might add to the hazard of landing wounded aircraft. Despite existing regulations, there is a type of obstruction that is still all too prevalent, and one that gives even veteran pilots the jit- ters on occasion. 1t is the over- head wiring that is strung from poles placed alongside or around even some major airports, The seriousness of this problem is illustrated by' a U.S, report in- volving collision with wires and poles by aircraft owned or operated by other than regular airlines, Dur- ing -one year there were 288 col- lisions reported. These accidents resulted in nine persons killed, 20 seriously injured, 72 aircraft de- stroyed and the remainder substan- tially damaged. What is more al- arming is that about 60 of the col- lisions occurred where you would least likely expect tlient to hap- pen - at established airports. Of the total, 88 per cent happened dur- ing the daylight hours. Unless something is done, these figures will grow with the increas- ing use of air 'travel. The problem was recognized some years ago by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of the United States. The organization began a campaign sparked by the slogan, "Bury the wires instead of the pilot" Unfortunately, it achieved very little. The campaigners kept run- ning into the excuse that it cost SLEEP TO -NI TE SEDICIN tablets token according le directions is a sale way le induce day Of quiet Lha nerves when tenet. $1.00 Dray Stores only! erSedidn, Toronlot. tuo mucic to put the wires nutter- ground, Tltis is a debatable point. Aircraft cost a lot of money, too, and over the years the cumulative loss in destroyed and damaged air- craft, let alone the loss of life, will eventually exceed the cost of bury ing the wires and removing the poles, Pilots of regular air lines often express concern, too. An -example of this was brought to light in Se- attle two years ago when a twin - engined C46 took off front Boeing airfield and crashed into the ground after hitting two sets of power lines atthe end of the runway, Seven persons were killed" and in the investigations that followed it was revealed that the Air Linese Pilots Association had long pro- tested the presence of the overhead wires and urged that something be done about putting then! under- ground, Because there is less air travel here, collisions in Canada between aircraft and overhead wires do not occur as often. But similar condi- tions do exist in this country and every so often a Canadiad flier is killed or a plane destroyed because of an obstruction that can easily be remedied. Those who are able to think only in terms of cost might pause to remember that with the growing use of costly jets, it will be a good deal more economical in the long can to bury the wires than to go on burying pilots, Radioactive.
