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 come
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 an 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.
The 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 few German doctors are
there, but not enough to cope
with epiaemics 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 times, 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 talk to their horses, though
there used to be a driver of a six -
horse team in Boston known as
"Silent Jim.'" People stopped of-
ten to watch him handle his team
in difficult situations, backing,
cramping, turning around, with-
out speaking a word.
At any rate, please remember,
whoever you are who drive, that
your horse has no need of an ear
trumpet to hear you.

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 25 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 offere a striknig contrast
to that in 1917. Metal prices to-
day on the average, are only half
those existing in the last war but
quantities produced are tremen-
dously greater. With actual pro-
duction figures not available, ap-
roximate increases over the first
Great War period are estimated
ex follows: Copper, 750 per cent.;
lead 1,300 per cent.; nickel, 251:
per cent,; zine, 1,650 per cent.
Certainly Canada's base metal
industry has reason to be proud
of its effort in this war to nava
democracy. --- Financial Post.
LESSON VL
A BUSY SABBATH IN CAPER-
NAUM. -- Mark 1:21-34; Luke
4:31-41.

GOLDEN TEXT — 1 was in the

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 he entered into the
synagogue and taught. 22. And
they were astonished at his teach-
ing: for he taught them as hav-
ing authority, and not as the
scribes." It would seem that our
Lord regularly* attended the ser-
vices of the synagogue on the
Sabbath. We should follow his
example. At times the services
may be dull or meaningless but
our presence there may be a
blessing to others as well as to
ourselves. Our Lord 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 bad 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, sur-
prised especially at the authority
which the Scribes never revealed.
When men listened to Him they
knew He was right. The au-
thority of Jesus was, and still
is, the authority of absolute
truth.
23. "And straightway there
was in 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-
thing strange makes this spirit
seek out Jesus in public aim cry
out that he knows about Jesus.
May it not be possible that the
man himself, weary of the bond-
age of an evil spirit, and.learniug

Jesus Has Authority
25. "And Jesusre rebuked comd e
saying, Hold thy p
out of him, 26. And the unclean
spirit, tearing him and crying
with a loud voice, came out of
him." The. Lord Jesus does not
argue with the demon; — he does
not debate what he will do. The
deliverance of the man takes
place immediately. When the power
of Christ is set against the pow -
ex of evil, evil is compelled to give
way.
27. "And they were all amazed
insomuch that they question-
ed among themselves, say-
ing, What is this? a new teaching!
with authority to commandeth
even the unclean spirits, and they
obey him. 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-
ernaum 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 characterizes 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
hone. 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 siiently effected. the miracle
taking her hand, a symbol
of helpfulness all the world over.
"And raised her up." No doubt
as Itis hand touched hers, He
communicated strengthto her,
enabling her to get up. "And the
fever left ..er, and she minister-
ed unto them." The miracle here
is that the fever left immedi-
ately, and she was immediately
well.
32. "And at even, when the
sun did set, they brought into him
all that were sick, and them that
were possesed of demnos. 33.
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.

will happen: Those who are on

'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 where, in deference
to the English habit of eating it
with sugar, it is actually savored
with sugar instead of salt in 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.
POP—Coming Down

Good news for many of the lo-
calities of the Province is the fact
that the Bandwagon will continue
to ride down Harmony Highway
throughout the year. The Band-
wagon shows are produced from
local radio stations — CKOC's
version is aired on Fridays at 8.30
D.S.T.—CFRB's Saturday at 7.00
p.m. They're smartly paced shows,
highlighting each week some local
effort on behalf of War Work.
The Kinsmen's 'Milk for Britain'
Fund has received wide publicity
on the Bandwagon shows, and
many of the show's promotional
ideas have added very material
assistance to the Drive's success!

various local stations throughout
