The Brussels Post, 1942-2-11, Page 6Channel Islands Under Nazi Feel Story of an Islander Who Escaped to England In A Motorboat A fairly large number of troops Appear to be stationed in the island to which I belong, and of their general behavior to the pop- ulace there seems nothing to com- plain. A report that men from the island had been removed to camps or elsewhere on the con- tinent is untrue, but all have to work mostly on food production, or do such other work as they are suited to. Much hardship now exists how- ever, owing to scarcity of one thing and another. Tlie islanders have had no tea for 12 months, Soap, candles, and paraffin are not obtainable, and the people mostly retire at dusk and rise at dawn. Butter is al- lowed at the rate of 2 oz. a week, meat 5- oz., and no fats. Gas for cooking is allowed for only 20 minutes or so, at two periods each day. There was little coal for fuel during last Winter, and those who live near the coast gather drift- wood, etc., for occasional fires. Many of the older people suc- cumb with the cold. Nearly all doctors left before the occupa- tion. A afew German doctors are there, but not enough to cope with epi:iemics if such occur. No clothing can be renewed, and not a reel of cotton is to be had. The outlook for Winter is therefore very grim. No civilians remain in Alder- ney, which is given over entirely to military occupation. Fewer troops occupy Guernsey. is shown by the German rank and file, as for instance when a con - Lack of enthusiasm for the war tingent was ordered from Jersey for the Russian front. They re- volted, but machine guns were -trained on them by the .officers. Though. not popular with the Jerseyites, the Germans have nev- ertheless contrived to win a small proportion of them to their ideas. For the remainder, they just have to keep quiet to avoid trouble. Cinema shows are given free twice a week — mostly German films and propaganda. To educate the islanders in music approved by the Nazis, the occupying forces have imported a German opera company to give bi-weekly enter- tainments. Radio listening is al- lowed at certain time's, .except to English news. Horse Does Not Need Ear Trumpet Few animals surpass the horse in the keenness of his hearing: yet there are a multitude of driv- ers who yell and shout as if the horse in front of them with the delicate and sensitive ear were 16 blocks away. We have sometimes been able to convey a sound to the horse we were driving which the person sitting beside us could not hear. The quiet, confident tones of the voice aid greatly in controlling the horse. We do not like drivers who never talketo their horses, though there used to be a driver of a six - horse team in Boston known as "Silent Jim.' People stopped of- ten ften to watch him handle his team in difficultsituations, backing, cramping, turning around, with- out speaking a word. At any rate, please remember, whoever youare who drive, that your horse has no need of an ear trumpet to hear you. Base Metal Mines Increasing Output While Canadian civilians are being asked to conserve use of metals to help the war effort, base metal mines are taking further steps to increase available supply of those metals at the source, With eXports of non-ferrous met- als up almost 26 per cent. in the first 11 months of 1941 over the corresponding period in 1940, base metal mines have already been turning out record quantities' but they aim to do better still. Expansion called for under. the Hyde Park agreement is expected to bring mineral production to a level hardly thought possible -be- fore the war.. The metal production picture in 1941 offers a striknig contrast to that in 1917. Metal prices to- dayon the average, are only.half those existing in the last war but quantities produced are tremen., dourly greater. With actual pro- duction figures not available, ap- proximate increases over the first Great War period are . estimated ars follows: Copper, 750 per cent.; lead 1,300 per 'cent; nickel, 260 per dent.; zinc, 1,650 per cent. Certainly Canada's base' metal industry has reason to be proud of its effort in this war to save • democracy. -- Financial Post.

A BUSY SABBATH IN CAPER- NAUM.. — Mark 1:21.34; Luke 4:31-41. Printed Text, Mark . 1:21-34 GOLDEN TEXT — I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. Re- velation 1:10. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME May, A.D. ` 28. PLACE The city of Caper- naum, at the northern end of the Sea of Galilee, 21. "And they go into Caper-• naum; and straightway on the Sabbath Day lie entered into the synagogue and taught. 22. And they were astonished at his teach- ing: for he taught them as hav- ing authority, and notas the scribes." It would seem that our Lord regularly attended the ser- vices of the synagogue on the Sabbath. We should followhis example. At times the services may be dull or meaningless but our presence there :niay be a blessing to others as well as to ourselves. ` Our Ford came to do many things, including the great work of teaching, a privilege He here exercises amidst His own people, in what .ought to be an atmosphere of true worship. These people had heard teachers all their lives, and,: no ;doubt, -some of them had gone up to Jerusa- lem and heard the best teachers that Jerusalem had at that day. But the . teaching of Jesus was immediately recognized as being something different; loftier and more powerful than any other teaching they had ever heard. In fact, they were utterly astonish- ed at the • way He talked, sar- prised especially at the authority which the Scribes never revealed. When men listened to Him they knew He was right. Tho au- thority of Jesus was, and still is, the authority of absolute truth. - -28. "And straightway there wasin their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he ,cried' out, 24. saying, What have we to do with Thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? Art thou come to de- stroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God." Some- ching strange makes this spirit seek out Jesus in public ana cry out .what he knows about Jesus. May it not be possible that the man himself, weary of the bond- age of an evil spirit, and learning that one who- could deliver was teaching in the synagogue of his 1 THIS CURIOUS WORLD BFe gutsin SEVERE (-01 D DURING WINTER' MONTHS IS VERY ESSENTIAL TO MANY FLOWERS OF THE NODI -I TEMPERATE ZONE* .S4GUOA, NORTHC4ROL/NA, KEEPS ALIVE.

Jesus Has Authority 26, ".And 'Jesus rebuked hint, Ming, Hold thy peace, and cone out of hitt, 26. And the unclean spirit, touring hirn and crying with a loud voice, carne out of MM." The Lord Jesup does not argue with the demon; — ho does not debate what he will do. The deliverance of the man takes place immediately. When the parser of Christ is set against the pow- er of evil, evil is. compelled to give way. 27. "And they were all alnazed insomuch that they question- ed among themselves, say- ing, What is this? a new teaching! with authority to connnandeth even the unclean spirits, -and they obey trim. 28. And the -report of •him went out straight way every- where into all the region of Gal- ilee round about". For the second time this day the . people of Cap ernauln are astonished: first with our Lord's teaching, characterized by an authority which they had. never witnessed before, and now in finding His word to evil pow- ers likewise characterizeu by the authority of a master. Church and Home 29. "And straightway, when, they were come out of the syna- gogue, they came into the 'house of Simon and. Andrew, with James and John." In spending part of the Sabbath in the synagogue and part in the house, Jesus- touched the two most sacred institutions given to men, the church and the ,home. It should be noted that Jesus went first, early in the morning, in the house of the. Lord, and then later in the day, in the house of men. 30. "Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of "a fever; and straight- way they tell him of her. 31. And he came and took her by the hand." Jesus uttered no word and silently effected the miracle taking her hand,*- a symbol of helpfulness all the world over. "And raised her up." No doubt as His hand touched hers, He communicated strength to her, enabling her to get up. "And the fever left ser, and she minister- ed unto them." The miracle here is that the fever left immedi- ately, and she was immediately well: 82. "And at even, when the sun did set, they brought into him all that were sick;' and them that were • possesed of demnos. • 83. 'And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34. And he healed many that were sick . with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He suf- fered not the demons to speak, because they knew Him." There must have been a mysterious sy- mpathy and goodness in His looks, ' and words that seemed to beckon the wretched to Him as their friend. The blind cried out to Him from the roadside, and the woman of Canaan followed him in spite of His hard words. When He came near, even those poss essed felt His: divine greatness; and he spoke to all some word of mercy. Hotels In Britain " Have Their Trials Hotels, ` like private households, have their difficulties. The milk shortage directly affects them too, A tablespoonful. of milk is the limit of the ration, and if it goes into the morning coffee,; " guests must take their porridge. without. So states one hotel man- ager. For the rest of the day, a modicum of milk is served with tea, and generally none with cof- fee. Even the porridge has suffered a declension. I hear of one es- tablishment stablishment where, in deference to the English habit of eating it with sugar, it is actually savored with sugar instead of saltin the making, and thus rendered com- pletely unacceptable to the Scot- tish palate. Not a great deal of sympathy goes out to the hotel guest, who is mistakenly pictured as living on the fat of the land while ev-• erybody else is severely rationed. The truth is that hotel menus are much attenuated as compared with a year ago, and, if the black market operates, it is .only in the less reputable establishments, ?OP --Coming .
