Many wonderful men have lived, many wonderful things have happened in_ this world. Look at history, and the past rises before us in majestic grandeur, But if we could combine all these events, the suns total would not equal that wonderful event at BethA.,hem which the angel announced -"Unto you is born this day, in the City of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord," The birth of Jesus was a Lt;ht in a dark world. He was the Prom'.aed One. Tho promise was to Abraham, ''1n they seed shall all the families of the earth.l:'e blessed." David described His triumphal entrance through the gates of the Eternal City, "Lift up your heads, Gln yo gates, and be ye left up, ye Everlasting doors, and the King of Heaven shall come In."'Isaiah was thrilled with the Majesty of His presence when he said, "'1-Iis name shall be called Wonderful, Coun- sellor, t'he Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." And rejoicing in his complete sufficiency, Isaiah exclaimed, "Ho Ev- eryone that thirs'teth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine, and milk, without money and without Price." Zecharia'n's patriotic soul kindled with enthusiasm when he declared, "His Dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river unto the hinds of the Earth." Angelic' Mes- sengers announced Itis advent In inspiring language, "Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peoples." Angela celdbrated His arrival in an eloquent song, "Glory to God in the high- est, and earth peace, good will toward men." For four thousand years the people waited for a Deliverer. They waited while Empires rose. and fell. Conque; ors came and made the world worse instead of better. Still the centurlcr watched and waited. They looked for Him upon thrones, they looked for Ilial in Palaces, they looked for Him in Imperial robes, they looked for Him at the head of armies. At last they found Him and He was lodged in a stable. The Cattle were near slim. His parents were peasants. There was no room in the inn. Yet the pointing star and the angelic cantata showed that Heaven made up In appreciation of His worth for what the world lacked. In the City of Venice a traveller need never be lost, although its streets are narrow and the canals intricate. There is in the walls beside the canals and in the pavcanent of the .streets a thin, red line, which, by following, the traveller comes to St..Mark's Church. So in all Bible prophecy and history a red line leads directly to Jesus Christ. The Old Testament was finished four 'hundred years before the Christian era; 'but it contains the fullest predictions of the coming of the Master. it tells of the indignities of the trial, the disposition of His garments, the Associates of His Death, the Character of H'o burial. Isn't that'womlerful. There is nothing like it in the life of anyother. So Jesus is wonderful in the manner of His advent. (2.) Jesus is wonderful In the manner of His life. He is the only one that ever lived of whom it was said that He had no fault. He is the only one who carried the spotless purity of 1-1!3 childhood through youth and manhood, There has only been one perfect Charac- ter -the Christ of the Cross -distinguished for no one virtue more than another -abut perfect in all. (3.) Then lastly, Jesus is wonderful a3 a Saviour. "'I'nou shalt call Hie name Jesus, for He shall save His peepee from their sins." The Christmas Message is good news for everybody. There ig news that is good for one, but bad for another. The report of Water• loo'set the bells of all England a -ringing, but it draped France in black, broke Napoleonls heart and chained him to a rock in t'he sea. Now, what is this news that is good for everybody? The angel tells R., "There is born unto you a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." A Saviour was born -so much needed then -so much needed still, A Saviour is the Supreme need of all, That is true [or the simple reason that, "There is no difference for all have sinned and conte abort of the Glory of God." So of all the stories ever told, of all the messages ever brought to man, none is so precious, 110110 is so won 'err fill and none j' ro much needed as this: "There is born unto you a Saviour, Christ the Lord." There is One who is able to unhitch you from your soiled and wasted path. There is only One who is able to say, "Though your sins be ae scarlet, they shall be white a', snow." Best of A11, Jesus is Wonderful as a Saviour. 1. Irt t rr, pk lailtataVADIADDI a8t t tmgt'sataalerinDMDIiatDtNpt;>MMINetitDILIARtlltliiNDIANDIWhI Y. P. U.

Meeting Unan:mous To Keep it Open Following a communication received'operatiou, also came up for discus from the Montreal office of the Caned- sion. Ian National Rialwaya, suggesting that consideration of closing the line from Clinton north to Winglhaan, was being given, a meeting was held at Blyth, on Tuezday, December 10th, to which representatives from all muni- cipalities interested Its the. continued operat.on of the line, were invited. Rcpresentetives from all municipali- ties we. a present, and included not only the Reeves and Councillors, but many ratepayers. Included in the list of ntunicipalitie,s were Clinton, Hullett Townslfee Blyth, Lond:sshoro. Ea'A Wawanosh Township, eiorr:s Town- ship, Be:grave and Wingham. Following the appointing of Mayor Crawford of Wingham as Chairman, a lengthy discussion, in which rerresce- tativee of the different Municipali- ties voiced their opinion, cook place, and the meeting was •unauinlnu:; in We, decision that the closing of the, line from Clinton to 14'ingham would be a great detriment to this district, .Mr. George Me..\all, retiring Reeve for Blyth, took the responsibility for calling the meeting, and in his re- marks suggested that action should, be taken at once if favourable results were to Ire procured. Mayor Crawford of Wingham felt that the meeting was a move in the right direction, and wai 'glee that Blyth had taken the initia- tive in the matter. Speaking for Clhnd ton, Mayor K. G. Waters said that al- 'though Clinton would not be seriously affected by the line's d:scontinance, itis Council was ready to co•ope: ate in every way possible towards the reten- tion cf the litre. A discussion on the agreement which had been made between the L.H. and B Railway and the uieierent Municipals. t:eo follo4ed, and James Leiper, Reeve of Hullett Township- said that although Ills municipality could not !produce any agreement, he was ,sure that a bonus of $.25,000 had boon paid by Hullett in Township taxes. He felt sure that there had been a lease for 99 years. East I'Vmwanosh Township was the only municipality who could produce an Agreement and Bond. Mr, Alex. Porterfield, Clerk of East Wee wano,slt had both in his 'possession and produced them.. Mr. Porterfield re- marks were very enlightening, and he said that the project had been started in 1575 by some London man. They had then asked the Township of East Wawanosh for $18,000.0O3 and the next year asked for another $7,000. to con- tinue the line from Blyth to Winghant. The road came into operation in 1876 and the money had been levied through taxation. Mr. R. R. Redmond, Reeve of East Wawanosh suggested that when the C. N. R. took over the Grand Trunk that they might have scrapped any agreement that had been math. This would have to be found out, The two most affected places, if the line were closed, would be Londes,boro and Belgrave. The closing of the line would leave tltcnm without any railway communication. On titer• behalf C. R. Coupes and C. H. Wade suggested that the urban Municipalities interest The Women's Institute held their ed should put forth more effort to pat- regular monthly meeting at the home ronize this railway . railway line.

Armst.uug of Lon esboro, that this meeting ge on rccor,l as putting forth every effort to have the railway line from Clinton to Wing. haat continued in operation, The mo tion carried unanimously. Following this a committee, coin pond of two repreeentativecs from each municipality was appointed, to carry on the work on behalf of the Municipalities. The Committee is as follows: W. H. Moffitt and Absolam Taylor, Blyth; J. Armstrong and Jas. Leiper, Hullett; C. R. C- lies and C. H. Wade, Belgrave; Mayor J. 11. Criaw' ford and Mr. Houston, \\Ingham; V.

In choosing the committee it was the endeavour of the meeting to appoint men who were, as near as possible, the largest users of the rail' way. 4n this, it was felt, a strong- er representation could be made. 'Present for tine meeting was L. E. Cardiff, M.P. for North Huron. 1n his remarks he stressed the point that the Government was giving patrons of the line a chance to increase their patron, age. If this was not done, he doubted if the chance would come again. Friends Entertain For Bride A very delightful tea was held at the Monte of Mr. and Mrs. V. M. Bray. Friday afternoon, in honour of Mrs. J. J. G. Sims. Mrs. S. W. Sibthorpe and Mrs. Harvey 011. Mason were joint hostesses. Friends of the •bride in the immediate neighbourhood attended.

TONER, Federation of Ontario Anglers. (NO. 20) TROUT LOSING RANGE Rainbows,. steelheads, German Browns and Loch Leven Trout are all member's of the genus Salmo, close relatives of the At- lantic salmon, But the lake trout, the speckled trout or brook trout, the red trout. and the Aurora trout are chairs, differing anato- mically from the true salmons. In Ontario, with the exception of Lake Ontario where a landlocked variety of the Atlantic salmon . was native in pioneer days, the chairs awe the only indigenous trouts. Formerly trout were found all over the Province wherever con- ditions of habitat were suitable. The speckled trout lived in cool streams and spring -fed northern lakes; the lake trout inhabited the Great Lakes and the deeper, cooler inland lakes. Aa the for- ests were cut away many of 'the streams become warmer and silt filled into the lakes so that both speckled trout and lake trout have lost much of their former range. The 'lake trout is found throughout the Province in the proper kind. of lakes. In the Great Lakes many thousands of pounds are taken annually by the commercial fishermen. Lake On- tario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake Michigan are inhabited by trout that look much alike but Lake Superior has a variety, called siscowet, that lives in deep water, often a 1000 feet or more beneath the surface, The siscow- et has fat and oily flesh, is broad and short where the lake trout is slim and lengthy. Tams Coming In, Kilt Going Out In New Armies — Canada's Service Uniforms Follow Lead of the Mother Country The. mnjor contributions of the Second Great War to Canadian mil- itary dress are the introduction of the battle dress uniform and revival of the wedge cap, officially known as the field service cap, Both spring from a desire to adapt military attire to the needs of the times, to give the fighting men a garb which will be most oonvenient under the conditions of modern war, with its emphasis on mechanization, rapid movement and concealment. WEAR 'EM OFF DUTY With the present war the kilts of Canada's highland regiments and one Irish kilted regiment vanish,.d as a service garb in the Canadian Active Service Force. They may still be worn off duty. These units when ou active service wear the battle dress or ski -pants with can- vas gaiters. They are permitted to identify themselves as Highland and Irish units, however, by their head gear, The Scottish units wear khaki tam o'shanters for field service and the regimental glengarry bonnet for off- duty occasions. The Irish Regi- ment of Canada at Toronto wears a green cap, something like the Scottish tam o'shauter, for service and off-duty occasions. CELTIC GARB STILL HERE Canada's tank regiments wear a black beret. This was adopted by the British army because It seem- ed 'the handiest sort of thing for men • who rode in and worked a- round tanks. The tank units have no cap authorized for off-duty wear. Celtic garb has not entirely dis- appeared from the Canadian army aa the Highland units of the Non - Permanent Active Militia and offi- nt the sQCond battalion of the frfsh Reegg nienezr tip-xrt;C`' while two unkilted Scottish units, the Scots, Fusiliers, of Canada of Kitchener, Ont., and the Lorne Scots of Brampton, Ont., wear the tartan trews or tight -fitting trous- ers. When the precent issue runs out, however, they too will wear battle dress. Bovine Produces 50 Tons of Milk Hyde Park Lady, an Ayrshire sow owned by J. Stuart Hyde of Dundas,• Ont., now has attained the meritorious production, gold seal, or 100,000 -pound class, the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders' As- sociation said, by producing 100,- 000 pounds of milk during her lifetime. The association said Hyde Park Lady has produced a total of 102,651 pounds of milk contain- ing 4,347 pounds of butterfat — an average butterfat test of 4.23 per cent. in lactations. The pro- duction was made on two miikings per day, under ordinary farm conditions. Deer, Two Dogs, Are Inseparable Friends These three interesting friends decided to make their home at the Bowser Hotel, Bowser, which is 125 miles from Victoria on Vancouver Island; and are now inseparable. The island deer came to the estab- lishment of its own accord, liked the place and palled up with the two dogs. The older dog is on the staff, having made himself famous as a waiter. As soon as a visitor stops at the hotel, the dog comes along, picks up the money put down for refreshment, takes it to the bar, puts it in the till, picks up a bottle and puts it on the table for the visitor. Ile. is teaching the younger dog the same work. Victoria is reached by the following Canadian Pacific "Princess" fleet: "Marguerite", "Kathleen", "Joan" and "Elizabeth". —C.P.R.' Photo. • THE WAR •WEE K—Commentary on Current Events ATTACKS ON SHIPPING ARE GROWING MENACE For some time past this column has drawn the attention of its read- ers to the increasing seriousness of Nazi attacks on British shipping, particularly on convoys returning from America with food, planes, munitions. British leaders have pub- licly recognized the menace as one which most gravely threatened }3ri• tain's chances in the war against Germany. Last week the attacks were reaching a new crescendo as the Nazis adopted new techniques —of submarines hunting in packs off the northwest coast of Ireland; of submarines and surface raiders hunting together; of planes co-oper- ating with subs and raiders. At the same time German bombers blasted Britain's major entry ports on the south and west coast. More Ships From U. S. Total loss of shipping by the Bri- tish since the outbreak of the war bas been estimated at about three million tons, Since the rate of re- placement in United Kingdom ship- yards is usually figured at 20,000 weekly, it can readily be under- stood why Britain has been seek- ing to get more merchant tonnage and escort vessels in the United States. Last week's promise by Washington to release every sea- going ton to Britain that the U. S. could spare meant that Britain's need for the time being would bo much less acute. "I'm Optimistic" Relaxation to a considerable ex- tent of the strictness of censorship allowed the world a glimpse last week of just how bad the British position was. Nevertheless it was realized the situation could defin- itely be worse. high-ranking U. S. air official, Major-General J. E. Chaney, returning from a month's close-up observation of the Bri- tish war effort, declared: "The Bri- tish won't lose the war at the rate they're going, ... I'm optimistic -• curie 'av-$ is e: 1.a:ZIl:t =gin aircraft, 100 destroyers, bases In Ireland, and according to Lord Lo- thian, credits.. , I do not believe Dngland will lose the war unless It becomes careless or over -confi- dent," The accentuated German drive on British ports and shipping was itou`ht to be motivated by a two• fold purpose: to cut off BrltaIn's train source of supply from the western hemisphere; to prevent di- version of British supplies, ships and planes for use in a Near East offensive. Ditch Mussolini? The Nazis were well aware that Britain was contemplating a move with land, sea and air forces to dispose of Italy once and for all. What to do with Mussolini, then, was Hitler's dilemma last week. Would he: Ditch him in favor, per- haps, of Vichy? Bolster him up in the Greek campaign by means of substantial military aid?

In the Balkans During the week widespread dis- turbances accompanied by whole- s a 1 e assassinations continued throughout Rumania. Four German divisions wore reported to have proved across the border from Iiun- gary to. put an end to the reign of terror. (Certain informed quar- ters in London maintained that It was to Germany's interest to keep Rumania in a state of weakness, disorder, so long as there was no immediate threat to Nazi econ- omics), The Bulgarian situation jelled—it was said in the Bulgar- ian parliament that the country's relations with Soviet Russia "were now established on a sound political basis," Turkey and Yugoslavia stoutly maintained neutrality in the face of strong Axis pressure. Ambitious Jape Chinese dispatches last week por- trayed as one of the• major victor - lea of the Sino -Jap conflict, the re- ported Chinese successes in central and northern Hupeh province. A Japanese offensive was said to have been smashed there with approx- imately 20,000 Jananese as «...;.%ierg'r quantities of arms and munitions seized. The ambf. tious Japanese were at the same hour conducting an expanding war on the Thal -Indo-China border. On the Home Front In Canada the, big news of the week was the budget, brought down during an extended session of the House, which featured: drastic cur- tailment of luxury imports, mainly REG'LAR FELLERS — Very Modern from the U, 8.; increased excise taxes on domestic and personal convenieces; reduced customs du- ties on United Kingdom commodi- ties.

"THIRTY ACRES" By Ringuet A new novel of French Canada as it is today has come forth from .the pen of a man who was born and brought up in a small Quebec community, It is a moving story of what is happening to habitant life. On an old farm that has been settled for two centuries or more, lives Euchariste Moisan. Euchariste ('Charis for short) is a typical peasant farther, bound to the soil by ties of tradition and blood, silent and shrewd, yet unable to cope with the forces that come to shatter his Lauren- tian peace. Alhtough "Thirty Acres" is the story of him and his family, it is at the same time a story of modern Quebec, facing wars, de- pressions, and the drain of emi- gration of New England; it is the tale of a small racial minori- ty trying to adapt its ancient folkways to modern conditions. No one who. has read the novel of old French Canada, "Maria Chapdelainc", should miss this. "Thirty Acres" . . . by Ring- uet ... Toronto: the Macmillan Company of Canada ... $2.50. Predicts Changed Building Methods Canada and the United States Face an "Architectural Blitz- krieg," Ontario Authority De- clares — Designs Are Under- going Revolution Canada and the United States face an architectural blitzkrieg" which will revolutionize existing methods of design and use of materials, Alvin S. Mathers, past president of the Ontario Associa- tion of Architects, declared last week, says a story ir. the Toronta Globe and .Mail. Lecturing on "The Future of Building Construction," under the auspices of the Ontario Associa- tion of Real Estate Boards, Mr. Mathers told his listeners that new planning, new structural methods, new equipment and new uses for old materials and new materials are in store for the home owners of the not too dis- tant future, The modern world of things invades the sanctuary of the most conservative individual. Can we reserve the process and bring the old things into the new house design? Yes, if they conform to - the new aesthetic pattern. Indi- vidual pieces of fine furniture of any period are naturally in har- mony because basic principles be- hind their design are the sante. NEW I!

In that year the Fathers of Con. federation saw their handiwork go into effect. The British North America Act' became the consti- tution of the Dominion of Can- ada. In those years there 'have' been great changes. Every one of us has seen the speed of communi- cation grow, The plane, the ra- dio, the electric appliances, the car and then the speedier car, the helps in the kitchen and ou the fern, Everything has speed- ed up as the long trek froth Ontario to the west coast has speeded as compared with the Trans -Canada plane trip to -day. The Fight ,Over Rights But in that tune two sections, 91 and 92, of the B.N.A, Act have been interpreted by the courts. Provincial rights, Fed- eral rights; this belongs to one, that to the other. And so it went on until everyone was sick and tired of listening to the figlit about jurisdiction and rights. But it wasn't just a question of words alone, It was costing us all 'money. Unemploytnent, debt, taxes, disunion were all grow ing. What to do about it? It is there that the name, Roy- al Commission on Dominion - Provincial Relations, comes . into the picture. The Commission was appointed to make a • study of . the whols Set-up in Canada. How much everyone was paying in taxes. Where it was going. Who had authority. Who had privileges. And above all who was going to pay.. for everything and the best way of doing it. The Hon. N. W. Rowell was appointed Chairman of the Royal Commission, He was then Chief Justice of Ontario. The Commission went from the Atlentic to the Pacific and back again, studying, listening, ,learn- ing and discussing Canada's prob- lems. Chief Justice Rowell fell i!l and his place as Chairman was taken by Dr. Joseph Sirois of Quebec City. After more than two and a half years that Commission pre• seated its report to the Govern-. ment. That report is the one re- ferred to as the Rowell-Sirois Report. That report will, if :all. Canadian premiers are 'of good will, result in a better, happier Canada with the burdens of tax- ation where they belong — on the shoulders of those best able to pay.

MIKE BENTLEY — wealthy rancher, knew too much about auto accidents, LAST WEEK: Larry's car is found abandoned, but undamaged. He talks to Colonel Harris, gets the details of the smugglers' oper- atlona. Larry, driving around town, is almost run down by a speeding car, when he crashes a stop. sign. Only the expert driving of the oth• er motorist avoids an accident. Larry discovers the driver is a girl, Monnie Miles, daughter of Col. Tay- lor ay1or Miles. And It was on the Miles ranch that Hugh was killed! It was almost midnight when Colonel Harris knocked at his door. "Found your car for you, Col- lins," the officer announced as Larry let him in. "Out by the air- port, and in good shape, too. "This bank job was pretty well planned. These two hid out until Almost dark, then- waited at the airport.

"Now about this other thin„—" he unfolded a map, spread it on tho desk—"here's where Hugh was found—wild, rough country, about 100 miles up the river. Some of it's flat, most of it's cut up by canyons. Not many ranches up there either. "We believe that the gang of dope smugglers aro flying narcotics in from the south, landing here. We know that most of the stuff that's going to Kansas City,( Ont - aha and Denver is coating frons this area, I sent Hugh up there to find out who was running the show. Someone with brains is in on it and we're going to get him. It's tho big shot—the head of the nut- dit--•that we want, We can pick up the others any time, "Now here's what you better do...." A Pretty Brunette Larry's Cal' was in the hotel gar- age the following morning. Behind the wheel again,. confidence re- turned, and the plans Colonel Ilar- ris had outlined seemed lass ter- rifying and less dangerous, Larry was anxious to get to work at once, puzzled as to how to begin, ire bet- tled by deciding to look over the city, while he studied the chiet's suggestions. He drove through the downtown, district, past stores whose windgw displays rivaled Now York's best, out into the residential sections. He was sem!-consotous of long avenues of arched trees, broad green lawns, luxurious hones and gardens, but he was more concerned with trying to discover some logical excuse for moving into the river ranch country. Then -- Crossing an intersection, Larry ,saw a speeding car bearing down upon him, I -Io pulled hard to the right, swung into the club. The other car whizzed past the corn- er, missed Larry by inches, skirl: ded, and with tires screaming, turn• ed into a. filling station driveway, knocked over a tire rack and a water can before It stopped, its bumper against the wall of the �btnildiing, , Larry jumped from his car, ran across the street.

It was his fault —letting fools like that one loose —to drive automobiles—" The ear roared out of the driveway and was gone, "It was my fault," Larry admit- ted to the station pian, "What's the damage?" "Notl!ing hurt here," the man laughed. "Boy, wag Monnie marl! She sorta told you, mister," Larry grinned, "I deserved it. Who did you say she is?" "Everyone in tows} 'knows Mon- nie Miles, mister.

"So that's Monate Mlles, Well, Miss Miles, it looks like you and I are going to meet again—soon!" CHAPTER III It took Larry halt an hour to buy a pair of cowboy work boots, two pairs of "levis," a few blue shirts and a $25 sombrero. When he checked out of his hotel, he had lost all resemblance to the Larry Collins who worked for Steve Clark, the Larry Collins whose by - lino was familiar to a hundred thousand readers. He was a cow- hand— His clothes looked too new, but a few minutes scuffling along the highway, and crawling •under the car would take care of that, He remembered to buy Texas license plates for his car, Not many cowhands come from New York. Larry pointed his car northward, picked up his highway marker and drove steadily. The picture of the girl, furionsly angry, would not be dispelled. What a temper! Monnie. , , Monica Maria Christina. Must be paa't Spanish. That accounted for some of the temper. And the black hair and flashing eyes.

And if your Dad will give mo a job, you'll be seeing Larry Collins every day, Monutio darling!" The Cussing Colonel Colonel Taylor Miles was mad. IIe stomped up and down the porch of the rancbbouse, punctuated every step with a fete choice words that aro found neither in dictionary nor Bible. As a "cusser" the Colonel was without equal. With the Col- onel, swearing was an art. Right now the Colonel was dis- playing his ability, with undimtu• 'siting fervor, for the benefit of two sheepish -looking cowhands, who stood a fete paces away from the porch, "And you call yourselves cow- hands!" the Colonel was shouting. "Rodeo cowboys!

KNOW MELODY, RHYTHM_ FIRST Mrs. Mannes, a professional 111usit'ian for almost half a cen- tury, believes that the present crop of American children is for- tunate in a musical way, "We no longer believe in forc- ing young children to practice hateful scales for hours on end. Nor do we. expect thein to spend perfectly good afternoons listen= ing to heavy concerts. Instead, we lead then to an appreciation of music by natural, easy stage:. "Hen'e in this school—and in many others—we first train the child to know melody and rhy- thm."

Photographers' models, who smile at you from billboards and magazine covers, make it a rule to sleep more than eight hours each night. Whenever you find yourself wondering how a debu- tante can Glance all night and yet look fresh, clear-eyed and pretty at a party the next afternoon, just remember that the chances are she slept eight or nine hours during the morning and early af- ternoon.

And it's a wise girl who realizes this at an early age. Courtesies With Christmas Cards If They're a Burden To You Each Year, You May Be Sending 'foo Many If sending Christmas cards is a burden, perhaps you're sending too many, says a writer on "Common Courtesy-." After all Christmas cards should be' limited to greet- ings for friends. How you sign your name is up to you. To your closest friends, you may want to sign your nick -name. Husbands and wives, usually sign their names "Mary and Joe Baker." It is correct to sign "Mary and Joe" for greetings to intimate friends. LIMIT THEM TO FRIENDS More formal engraved cards, es• pedally those for acquaintances and business associates, may have formally engraved names: "Mr. and Ml's, Joseph Stanley Baker." That goes for bachelor boys and girls, too. When you receive unexpected cards, be gracious iu thanking the sonders—not apologize for failing to send them one.

Pettit, a New Eng- land entomologist, fears that he is unpopular with his friends because he has been devoting himself to a study of roaches, says the Provi- dence (R.I.) Evening Bulletin, He asserts that there is nothing repre- hensible about roaches and that the prevailing prejudice against them is unreasonable. He thinks the roach might well be regarded as a friendly insect, asking of hu- manity nothing more than a hide- away under the sink and a chance to perform a real domestic service by eating up stray crumbs. FULL NAME "COCKROACH" Mr. Pettit tries to soften the pre- judice of his acquaintance by dis- guising the roach under the scien- tific name, Blattella germanica; but that su=bterfuge will do him no good if he insists on taking his pets about with him. The insect to which he refers should be known by its full name, "cockroach." The shortened name is likely to be mis- taken for the roach which is a European fresh -water fish, scien- tifically termed rutilus rutilus.

PRINTED TEXT, Luke 11: 1.13. GOLDEN TEXT.—Ask, and It shall be given you; seek, and ye shalt find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Luke 11:9. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time, — November and Decem- ember, AM: 29, Place, — All the events record- ed in this lesson took place is the province known as Peraea, which was located east of the Jor- dan. Matthew places the giving of the Lord's Prayer In Christ's groat Su- tton on the Mount (Matt. 6: 5.16), which occurred much earlier than the teaching we aro now consider- -•;.:;,: -1ngr It is generally understood that ,Ohrist may have delivered this prayer once spontaneously to a large number of disciples, and again, at the request of a disciple, to a small group who were not pre- sent on the first occasion. This particular passage ou prayer, found in Luke, is unique among the three Gospels. Prayer Life of Jesus Luke 11:1, And it camp to pass, as ho was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. The disciples after living in the company of Christ for perhaps two years were dissatisfied with their own prayer life, primarily because they had discovered that the prayer life of Jesus had greater depth, was more intense and earnest, manifested more faith and trust, was to every way a richer experience, than theirs. When We Pray 2. And he said unto theme, When ye Pray, say, Father. In the Old Testament God is seldom spoken of as a father, and then in refer- ence to the nation, and not to the individual. Christ gave the disciples a true revelation of the Father (John 1: 12 and 3: Rom. 8: 23; Gal. 4. 5). Hallowed be thy name. The word here translated "hallow• ed" means rendered or declared sacred or holy; to consecrate. Thy kingdom come. A kingdom is an area over which a king rules in sovereign power. The kingdom of God is God's sovereignty or rule, and that means the fulfillment of his will. It is a moral and spirit- ual kingdom. To pray thls prayer sincerely involved the submission of all of our life and interests to the sovereigu rule of an infinitely holy God. The Lord's Prayer 3. Give us day by day our daily bread. The prayer acknowledges that we are indebted to God through simple boons; and asks for them all; asks them only day by day; and asks for uo more. 4. And forgive us our sin; for we ourselves also forgive every ono that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation. The program of the Christian lite is pardon, sanctification, holiness. There is something radically wrong with us it sin ltas as groat a power over us today as it had, say, ten years ago. The Lord's Prayer has been call- ed "the epitome of the gospel" and the "pearl of prayers" because of Its: tone of holy confidence; its absolute unselfishness; the spirit- uality of its seven petitions; its brevity and absence of alt vain re- petitions. 5. And he said unto them, Which of you shalt have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6, for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him; 7, and he from, within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door Is now shut, and my chil- dren are with me in bed; i cannot rise and give thee? 8. I say unto yon, Though he will not rise and g1YL'_him because he Is his friend, use p .4;..po unpin • o 14411 arise'and give him as many as he needeth, This parable is parallel to that of the unjust judge (18:1-8). It also teaches that prayer must bo importunate and persevering; and so far as the two parables differ, the one shows that prayer is never out ot season, the other that it is sure to bring the blessing and not a curse. In this parable we find a selfish, unfriendly excuse for retua- ing the request -- whereas our Father is perfect love and kind - nes, and instead of excuses offers us the most abounding 'promises. "It Shall Be Given" 9. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and It shall be opened unto you. 10. For every one that asketch receiveth; and he that reeketh findeth; and .to him that knodketh it shall be opened. By our constant asking, seeking, and knocking we reveal the earnestness with which we petition God for that which we want. 11. And of which of you that Is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? 12. Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? 18.

As earthly fathers prove themselves fathers by giving good gifts to their children, so your Father prov- es to you that he is indeed your Father and you are indeed his chil- dren by giving to you, in answer to your asking, ht your need, the things beneficial to you, or as Luke has it, the Holy Spirit, at once nam- ing the highest and greatest spir- itual gift, involving ovary other spiritual gift, and certainly thus also every necessary temporal gift. The supreme and extreme are oft- en used in the Scriptures so as to include all that is less. We receive the Holy Spirit at first when we are born again; but the prayer life is the life that is always seeking and always receiving, the filling, the Infilling, the overflowing of the Spirit, f RADIO REPONTEN 1 RED INDIAN NICKELS Well folks, the Red Indian Nickel Club program heard from 1120 on the dial every week night at 8.45 (daylight time) gives you an opportunity to do a good turn for the boys in the services. Every night at 8.45 the nick- els start dropping into the big jar — with Dick, the Amateur Gardener, presiding over the con- tributions for free fags for the soldiers, sailors and fliers — for that's what the program is about. Everyone is asked to send in a nickel to the Red Indian Nickel Club, which in turn sends the nickels to the "Buckshee" fund for free cigarettes for the men on active service. Every nickel buys fifteen cgiarettes — so if you want to do a good turn to the lads in His Majesty's Forces -- send them along a nickel to the Red Indian Club at CKOC—they will enjoy the fags.

Good Hogs Need Lots of Minerals Only vigorous and healthy young pigs will develcp into high quality bacon hogs. To obtain such young pigs, a balanced ra- tion well supplemented with minerals is essential. Too many losses still occur on the average farm, especially in young pigs, due chiefly to a de- ficiency in the ration, states U. Pilon, Livestock man at the Do- minion Experimental Station, Kapuskasing, Ont. A liberal feeding of minerals will not only prevent most of these losses but also better daily gains and a lower feed consump- tion per pound of grain will be obtained with growing and fat- tening pigs, Four Most Helpful In hog feeding, four mineral elements along with salt are help- ful, namely, calcium, phosphor- ous, iron and iodine. All other mineral elements are usually present in sufficient quantity in ordinary rations. Pigs require less salt than cattle but nevertheless a better utilization of feed will usually result from its feeding. Calcium and phosphorous are also imporant to prevent Tickets, weakness, short lactation and paralysis in hind legs with nurs- ing sows, Furthermore, it is ad- mitted today that iron is an ef- fective remedy against the all too common disease in young pigs called anaemia, Also goitre and hairlessness ' can be easily pre- vented by feeding iodine to the pregnant sow. Chemical analyses have shown that the grains and their by-pro- ducts are generally low fin some of the essential minerals and to be sure that the ration is not deficient, it is advisable to in• clude 3 to 4 per cent in the dry meal mixture for brood sows and 2 per cent for all other pigs, of a commercial or a home mixed mineral mixture such 'as grounu limestone 50 lb., bone meal 25 lb., and iodised salt 25 lbs. Iron in the form of iron sulphate at the rate of 2 Ib, in the above mixture can be fed if anemia occurs.

Drummond, the press. dent. IIo warned against the clang - era ot price inflation and urged the exorcise of economy and prudence by individuals, corporations and governments: Mr, Drummond expressed satis- faction at the extent to which the war effort of the Dominion had been carried during the past year and said that, extensive as it was, It was only just beginning, Produc- tion of war supplies, ho said, will bo immensely greater next year and, "ot business generally, it is sufficient to say that practically every phase of industrial and com- mercial activity is reelecting the in- tensity of our war programme."

W. Spinney, joint general manager, in his address, Mr. Spinney stated that tho con- tra.etion shown in the bank's hold- ings of government securities on the balance sheet should not be misinterpreted in the light of the war financing programme of 'the Government. The fact that security holdings of the Bank had declined was actually, ho pointed out, a healthy sign indicating, as it does, that war loans are really being subscribed to from the savings of the people, Profits Satisfactory Although profits of the bank were somewhat lower for the past year, Mr. Spinney said that the results were not ulnsatisfactory in view of the large increase in taxes paid. Revenues, ho continued, had been augmented as a result, principally, of an expansion in commercial loans which averaged about 22 per cent higher. Drawing attention to the .high level of industrial activity, occa- sioned largely by the demands of war, Mr. Spinney remarked that "it is clear that we are rapidly ap- proaching a position in which, by contrast with the past ten years, our principal problem will be the adequacy of the means of produc- tion." The bank, ho said, was deter- mined to play its full part in the national effort, looking forward with confidence to the achievement of victory. _ ;.-.- ,.
