'The moon was too late in rising and the sky as far 'as we could discern was starless. Tittnlediately the. thought came is as we stumbled a- long "What 'a dark world this is." It is true it was; dark but it was only the sun would rise as usual sending forth its beautiful rays touching everything with a light which ' only (Goth can give to a world sunk largely in sin. Yet the night with all its darkness ':gives to us opportunities which we 'don't grasp in the light of day. In our childhood days night had a cer- tain terror for us. We had the idea 'that something was always going to :jump out at us. When we were :safely tucked in bed we were gtiiet :sure somebody was looking at us 'through the window. just waiting for sleep to overtake us ere it would %teal quietly into our room and • carry us away. This is very often given to children by parents or some elder person saying. The Boogie Man will get you if you don't watch out." What a shame to frighten. children in this way thereby' taking from our way in the dark. We may say "I them all the goodness which darkness cannot see the light. b do not know holds. where I am going." Do we need to see the light? The answer to that maybe given in those beautiful lines which were broadcast by our beloved King and which will bear reading and re- reading "I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year—Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown"—Then he replied "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a • known way" What could we want better than that! The difficul- ty is we do .not realize the great pleasure of walking with God. Many. of us have walked so long with the world that we have lost sight of the fact that there is a God who cares condition in particular, had a very 'the light will be with us in the dark. critical. operation and was given Another big drawback is the dark- gnite, a limited .time to sive.

As we grow to manhood' and womanhood we realize the joy which conies to us with the darkness. Our thoughts seem to be more deep; there is less to ;distract our attention; and particularly if we are walking alone God seems nearer to us and if we step out into a star lit night how we love to stand and look up at the stars.

The God who is with us in What Does Inflation Mean to You and Mie ? *EN" solo MIT Why, we couldn't buy enough food�-- f to keep our families healthy under ^� inflation. For wages and salaries never catch up to prices when they start to soar! . How would we like to pay $1:10 •a dozen for eggs? You say it 'can't happen? Don't forget it's already happened right here in this Domin- ion, during the last war. And it will happen again .. unless we're on our toes to keep the cost of living 'down. Every Canadian must face this challenge! It's our responsibility. But be of good heart. Living costs have risen LESS in Canada than anywhere else. Canada leads the world in the fight against inflation. HERE'S HOW IT'S DONE— In 1941, Canada determined to control the cost of living. Price ceilings were established on wages, rentals and commodities; subsidies were paid on essential foods; goods in short supply were rationed ... so that everyone could get their fair share at a price they could afford to pay! A But control of prices is a two-way Alf responsibility. It needs your support if it is to continue working effectively. So make this Pledge Today! PROMISE to give my support to keeping the cost of living down. I will buy only what I need—I will observethe ceil- ing whether buying or selling goods or services. I'll pay off old debts, save for the future, invest in victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates -and will support taxes which help lower the costof living. lid 44/ wj' A%€ NAP' W 1 P -- i Published by HE BREWING INDUST;Y (ON.TARiO) to reveal the dangers which inflation can mean -toall the people of Canada. 1r Then there is that terrible dark- ness of seperating ourselves from God. Just what is one of the chief ways of doing that? By simply for- getting to pray. During the world war we have seen many instances of where prayer has been miraculously answered.

It's not necessary to go in for sauteing and deep-frying all the time. Besides,. frying requires' plenty of fat and we should' remem- ber that fats have a fighting job to do in this war. To get away from frying methods end off the beaten track as it were here's something we tried in the Hydro kitchen the other day. We purchased 4 fish fillets and a can of condensed celery soup. The fish fillets were coated with half the can of soup. Next, we patted them with finely crushed cornflakes and placed them in a lightly greased casserole. These were baked in a preheated electric oven for 25 min. They were delicious, served with the rest of the cream celery soup.

BUTTER RATIONED REDUCED Because butter production during November, December and January was down, the butter ration to Canadian consumers will be tempor- arily reduced, according to an an- nouncement by W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply representative for Western Ontario. The -reduction will be made by v "Although all demands will not be able to be met," Mr. McPhillips said, "there will be up to 80% in tonnage of the 1940-41 allotment." It is ex- pected that the most pressing needs of the farmers will be able to be fil- led. As well as the new machinery, manufacture of repair parts has been set at 156% of one-half of the 1940- 41 period. - v "The weather is very cold here.

It makes them more enjoyable. GOOD pictures are good pictures GOOD of their particular type or classification. Thus, it does net matter whether you consider the above picture as an informal portrait, a sport picture, a hobby picture, or a vacation snapshot. It's still a good picture. . It is a picture which would fit nicely into any amateur's collection,. It is sufficiently pictorial for exhibi- tion—and ,equally suitable for the albumin which you keep your rec- ord of outdoor fun and recreation.
