Because you are interested in the Army. And the reason you are interested in the Army is because your son or your brother or your father or your sister or your mother is in the Army. You can't find out enough to satisfy you. You want to know what he is doing,- what his en- vironment is, what his compan- ions are like or to know whether she is amongst congenial people, what her job is or is likely to be. In other words, and your parti- cular contact with Army life may not realize it, you want to know every little thing that goes on. The sort of thing• that is so close to the letter -writer that he or she ,does not think of it as being in- teresting. Fight? Since we understand each other cxi this point let'e have a lassie at the other side. What about the soldier—male er female—who awaits your let- ters from home? What sort of letters do you write?. Do you tell every little thing that goes on, do you realize that no soldier, man or woman, is so far from home that home isn't the most absorbing thing to• read about when the Mail Corporal comes around with the letters? or parcels? Not long ago some of our sta- tesmen made pleas for letters to soldiers that would buck up their morale. They wanted us to write brightly and cheerily so that the boys and girls would feel better about things. Stuff, nonsense and poppy cock! The troops don't need artificial -cheerfulness — the kind of boys and girls in need of artificial cheer haven't yet volunteered for active service — what they want is news of their real life, the • life they have put behind them until they finish the job of making a contin- uance of that life possible. Tell then what's happening around the barn, down by the Post Office, who is "going with" who — or should it be whom? — how many kittens Tabby had last time, how Aunt Martha. looked when site slipped on the cellar stairs and broke her ankle. Write a chapter about the new teacher who slapped the face of the fresh kid whose father is chairman of the School Board, In other words, keep then in the family circle. And when you are doing that — and be sure to do it often, but not because you fear a loss of morale — give a thought to the Canadian Postal Corps, There is an unpublicized unit of specialists who get nothing but criticism from their fellow sol- diers because mail is one of the things we take for granted when we get it -- and curse the post- man for when it is late! It is a mammoth task, this handling of letters ned parcels to hundreds of thousands of ad- dressees who have literally "no known address." When you put your letter in the mail box its des- tination, unknown to you of course, may be the West Indies, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Egypt, Gibraltar, England, Scot- land or Brockville. It may change from dile of those destinations to another while the letter is en. route. But that letter is delivered, and in less time than the civilian Post Office which works very closely with the C,P.C,, could handle an ordinary piece of . nail. A:s -an example imagine ,you lave decided to take a trip to Vancouver. Half way there you ks- decide to run south and spend a couple of days in Chicago. Your appetite whetted by the Windy City, you change your mind again and head for os Angeles — where you find your mail waiting for you! Sounds like magic, doesn't it? Well it would be magic if it could be done in civilian life, but in the Army it's different. There you have an organization that has to keep its component de- partments adivsed of everything that goes on so that supply and transport will be arranged. Movements planned in advance, are known to all concerned and the "magic" becomes just good business practice that results in the delivery of a letter originally destined for Sergeant Brown in Scotland to Officer Cadet Brown in Brockville, Ontario, the minute he .arrives there. This is just one of the ways in which the individual Citizens Army looks after the sons and daughters of that larger Indivi- dual Citizens Arniy that pays the. bilis. Let us, then, instead of being just content to pay the bills, see to it that the public servants we hire to do the work of running our government leave no stone un- turned to back up the armed forces. We tell these hired men of ours to do an all-out job. We .criticise them for not doing it to our satis- faction, We must do more than that — we must give them the leadership we hired them to give us. So far we have been rationed in a few insignificant commodities — all of which we could do with- out. Most of my correspondents tell me they would welcome the rationing of mans ochea com- modities. Don't tell me. Tell the man you hired last election! The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has been empowered by you to fight against inflation. Stand behind it. Help it do this big job for you by seeing to it that no in- fraction goes un -reported. Every cheat who evades an order of the Board is as much a saboteur as the German who comes ashore from a submarine. Let's keep Canada a place that is something to write about. Nazi Given Tea Instead of Chains "Chain him; put him in irons," shouted several women who saw a German pilot parachuting from a damaged 'plane which attacked a town in Southeast Britain. But when the pilot was brought down from a rooftop to which he had floated, he was given instead a "dish" of tea.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—We do not know when our first parents began their life together. It was something over six thousand years ago. The let- ter of Jeremiah's, partly quoted in this lesson, was written about 599 B.C. Our Lord's teaching on divorce was given in February, A.D, 30. The marriage ina. Cana occurred in February, A.D. 27. Place.—We do not know where the garden of Eden was located, but it was probably near the lower part of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers; those to whom Jeremiah wrote were living in Babylon. Our Lord's teaching on divorce was given in Peraea. The wedding described by John was in Cana of Galilee. Before the Creation of Eve 18. "And Jehovah God said, It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him. 19. And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 2Ci. And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help meet for him." The main word in this paragraph is helpmeet, which means, literally, a helper. The expression indicates that the forthcoming helper was to be of similar nature to the man himself, corresponding by way of supplement to the incompleteness of his lonely being, and in every way adapted to be his co-partner and companion. All that _ Adam's nature demanded for its comple- tion, physically, intellectually, so- cially, was to be included in this other self who was soon to. stand by his side. Thus in man's need, and woman's power to satisfy that need, is laid the foundation for the Divine institution of marriage, which was afterwards prescribed not for the first pair alone, but for all their posterity. Creation of Eve 21. "And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: 22. and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man." It is interesting to note that man was a keeper of the garden before woman was created, and was to be enabled to provide for the sus- tenance and comfort of his wife. Adam's Joy 23. "And the man said, This is now bone of my hones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." The poetry of love is found here in its first origin. Adam's exclamation gives expression to the joyful surprise with which he beholds her. Divine Rite of Marriage 24. "Therefore shall a mail leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh," There are four great. principles enunciated in this one verse. (1) One man was to have one wife and one woman one husband, that is except in the case of the death of one. (2) The devotion of bus band and wife should be first to each other and not to their par- ents. (3) Husband and wife are permanently united in the deepest devotion, and this relationship is deeper than citizenship in a state, employment in any concern, mem- bership in any human organiza- tion, devotion to any social group. (4) Marriage does have, and is in- tended tc have, a deep physical basis, and husband and wife should be, and are intended to be, definitely attracted to each other. 1 RADIO ItEPOR7CE Canada's most popular radio broadcast hits the airwaves this Saturday. After considerable dis- cussion, it has been decided to continue the hockey broadcasts of the National Hockey League again this season, There was in fact more argument pro and con on the subject of continuing profes- sional hockey this season, than. In deciding to voice the puck action over the national networks. In many ways it was largely the radio angle which swung the de- cision to continue the N.H.L. games this winter. One potent argument favoured the belief that even a Canada at war required the relaxation which the broad- casts of hockey every Saturday evening brought to listeners from the Atlantic to the Pacific . so Saturday evening is again to become Canada's national hockey night from coast to coast, CBL and CFRB Toronto will carry the broadcasts, commencing October 31st, 9 p.m, New Yorlc Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs will open the season. As usual the Hot Stove- League featuring Elmer Ferguson, Wes McKnight, Harold Cotton and Bobby Hewitson will be heard during the intermissions. In connection with the opening of the hockey season, sports fans will be glad to know that Wes Mc - Knight's interviews with hockey stars will 'be broadcast for the 10th consecutive season. Origin- ating from CFRB Toronto these interviews will be heard every Saturday evening 7 to 7.15 and will be fed to many Canadian stations across the Dominion. Coach Happy Day who led the Leafs to the Stanley Cup last season will face the microphone on Saturday, October 31st. * * * These days when Dad's pay cheque has a substantial deduction made for income tax before he arrives home, require a bit more economy than usual on the part of Mother. In homes where the margin between income and outgo is siitn these stirring times, the friendly advice of Ethelwyn Hobbes, C.B.C.'s shopping expert is proving, I understand, very helpful She gives advice on how to buy and how to budget wisely and economically in the. program series heard every Wednesday at 4.15. Mrs. Hobbes, after careful research has found some new angles on how to get the most out of the family budget. These three angles cover the essential requirements of food, household equipment and clothing. So if you By REX FROST are interested in learning about many aids in keeping down the household accounts, your CBL hostess, Ethelwyn Hobbes will be mighty glad to greet you. * * The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has just announced the commencement of a new ser- ies of Sunday morning programs designed to familiarise the chil- dren with the Bible, and particu- larly with the Life of Christ. Like the very popular series "And It Came to Pass," the new presen- tation styled "Dramas from the Bible" will offer stories entirely in dramatic form, Old Testament stories will be featured during November concerning Noah, Abra- ham, Moses, Elijah and the Young David. The stories presumably are designed with particular ap- peal to children in the age group of 12 to 14 years, but at the same time will include enough dramatis interest to gain the ear of older youth groups and adults. The first programme will be heard, Sunday, November 1st, over net- -work stations of the CBC, 10 a.in. * * * Have you heard the new "Good Luck" show which commenced over CBL a week ago on a Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday 7 to 7.15 schedule? Here is a pro- gramme featuring the songs and chatter of Al and Bob Harvey, Bob Farnon's orchestra assisting, and with Al Savage putting in the plugs. Lovers of fine music will wel- come back to the airwaves the - Sunday afternoon New York Phil- harmonic Symphony programmes. Bruno Walter, former leader of the Vienna Philharmonic and who was 'often a guest conductor oaE the New York Philharmonic Sym- phony. The well known voice and inter- esting nteresting musical interpretation of Deems Taylor is heard as inter- mission commentator.

On being interviewed it transpired that she was terrified of cows, but despite this was most anxious to learn to milk. "I'm sure I should be all right," she said, "if only I could start on a calf!" Divorce 3-6. "And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying,' Is it lawful for a mean to put away his wife for every cause? 4. And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, 5. and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shal cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? 6. So that they are no more two but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined to- gether, let not man put asunder." Marriage is a fundamental human relation. It is something more than a living together of man and woman; it is a psychical as well as a physical completion of indivi- duals; and as suoh it is in the largest sense of the term a fra- ternity that depends for its per- petuation upon love. Divorce by Jesus is regarded as impossible, except as a formal recognition of an already broken union. As marriage gives rise to an actual union of personalities, it can be broken only by an actual severance of this union. Our Lord does not say that every mar- riage entered into is according to the will of God. What our Lord does say is that when God has united two people in marriage, no one should ever do, or think, or plan, or suggest anything that would break that marriage cove- nant, and lead to the termination of that holy relationship. Wedding Feast In Cana 1. "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2. and Jesus also was bid- den, and his disciples, to the mar- riage. 3. And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said - unto him, They have no wine. 4. And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to de with thee? mine hour is not yet came. 5. Hits mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." As this was a marriage feast, we cannot forget that in the beau- tiful words of the marriage service Christ `hallowed and adorned' that divine institution `by his presence and first miracle that he wrought in Cana of Galilee.' At the very beginning of the Old Testament we find the primeval law that one man ehould be the husband of one wife, and here, at the very outset of his ministry, we have Christ giving his countenance to mar- riage, tarriage, thereby showing at what a distance he stood from those who, already in the days of Paul, had begun to forbid men to marry, and had cast reproach upon the holiest and most helpful relation- ship of life. At all our feasts, therefore, let us seek to have Christ present, and to be ourselves Christians. Above all, at our marriage feasts let us send our first invitation to him, for when marriages among us shall be en- tered into in that spirit, there will be fewer divorces in the land. Stalingrad Plant Producing Again Tlie Russians were reported to have put undamaged sections of a tractor factory back into pro- duction in battered Stalingrad. It was building new tanks to re- pel the invaders, and repairing wrecks, practically on the battle- ground itself. It was indicated that the factory was the Stalin Tractor Works, built by American engineers.
