WIN THE WAR -- SMASH HITLER -- BUY WAR SAVING CERTIFICATES Saving Ontario's Natural Resources • :a-�•+•� 1 - - - - G, C. TONER, Ontario Federation of Anglers. (NO. 32) ONTARIO OWLS Like the hawks the owls have been given a bad name that they «o nut deserve. With one ex- ception, the great horned owl, they are beneficial in that they f0ed upon the mite that chew up the farmers' grain. There are sev- eral species in Ontario but as they are nocturnal, being most active at night, they are seldom noted except by the naturalist, A few migrate, one or two are yoaer round residents while a aouplo more appear here as win- ter visitors from the north. The Horned Owl The great horned owl should be put in a class by himself for niy experience has been that he 43 definitely destructive to poul- cry and game in settled funning eommunitics, Yet this creature has his good points and uses. In the wilder districts rabbits may become very numerous so that young trees may be destroyed over large areas, Normally this Tree killing would do no greet harm but where reforestation is under way the rabbits must be controlled and a few horned owls are the easiest way of doing this. As I have emphasized time and again in these articles nature can usually take care of such a prob- lem and we see this here in the routrol of rabbits by the horned owl. The Snowy Owl If you happen to live near some of our wide lake marshes you are familiar with the snowy •uwl that visits such places in winter. These owls seem to come down, from the Arctic when there is a scarcity of food in that re- gion. We know that Arctic ani- mals, such as the lemming mice on which this owl normally feeds, have cycles of abundance and scarcity. One year they will be abundant and the next very scarce, Lack of mice in the lean years is the probable reason for the occasional appearance of snowy owls in southern Ontario. I do not know whether or not the snowy owl has a call note but I think that it has. Cer- tainly, anyone who has been in the wods at night has heard the call of the great horned owl, Its notes "Hoo, hoo-hoo," are spiv - cry to the uninitiated but I ra- ther like to hear them. There are stories of this owl attacking people while they were walking along woodland roads at night. Persumably, these were mistakes on the part of the owl for I doubt if even the fiercest of them oould Imagine that he could swal- low a man, The Book Shelf., "MY NAME IS ARAM" By William Saroyan This book of delightful stories by the topnotch American writer and Pulitzer -prizewinner, William Saroyan, gives us a series of pic- tures of life as it appears to a nine-year-old Armenian boy who has his eyes wide open, his ears alert, his sense of humor alive to every excuse for laughter, He mimics his entire assortment of uncles—tire sad uncle, the reek - loss uncle, and the uncle who had to be given advice -- much to the exasperation of his roaring old grandfather. The reading public is saying, after digesting this book: "Not since Mark Twain . , ." Some of the chapters are headed: "The Presbyterian Choir Singers"; "The Circus"; "The Pomegranate Trees"; "The Sum- mer of the Beautiful White Horse"; "My Cousin Dirkan, the Orator".

Ontario Farms Being Depleted A Ski Hone oon in the Hills Near Quebec City Enjoying u ski honeymoon at the Chateau Frontcnac, Quebec. Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Robins of New York City, are shown here on the snow covered hills of the Lac Beauport winter playground, just nine miles from Quebec City, They were married in Quebec on January 21, Airs. Robins was formerly Miss Jean Baird, (laughter of Mr, and M s. Lloyd Sutherland Baird, and was born in Halifax, N.S.She is fa noted fashion illustrator, Mr. Robins originally bailed from Hamilton, Ont., and is an art director for Harper's Bazaar and a number of agencies. Prof, Henry G. Bell of the On- tario Agricultural College at Guelph, Ont., acid in an address at Toronto the middle of h'ebrt-- ary that the fertility of Ontario's soil is being depleted at the rate of almost .136 a farm at pre- sent replacement costs. Ile told the annual meeting of the Tcionto Crop improvement Association, that a survey of soil depletion statements for one year revealed a loss in pure nutrients for every farm in Ontario of 1,57C pounds despite efforts to revitalize the soil with manure, legumes and fertilizers. "We are proceeding in reverse," he said. "'There is no room in the West- ern Hemisphere for any notions about racial superiority." —Henry A. Wallace. --C,P.R. Photo, ,THE WAR •WEEK --Commentary on Current Events HITLER IS THREATENING AN UNDERSEA OFFENSIVE • "Spring is coming, the season 1n which we will be able to challenge the opponent . . . One thing is certain, Wherever British ships cruise we shall set against them our submarines until the hour of decision," -- Adolf Hitler. "In a cause of the kind for which we are fighting . . there can be no question of compromise or parley,"—Win- ston Churchill. The head Hien of the three bel- ligerent nations last week lot their owu people and the world know what their plans were for the im- mediate future. Speaking in reply to an offer from Japanese Foreign Minister Matsuoka to mediate the war in Europe, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Critelli declar- ed that there could be no com- promise or parley—both sides would have to fight on to the end. A Long War The distllustoned, disheartened people of Italy heard their Duce Mussolini frankly confess that Fits - clot arms had met with serious reverees in Africa, that the entire Tenth Army had been smashed. Coupled with these admissions came a promise of a new Italian offensive against the Greeks and throats of what his legions would tlo to the foes ot Italy. The war would be a long one, Ile predicted. Addressing the entire German nation, Refclr:;fuohrer Adolf littler renewed his oft -repeated pledge of closest co-operatlou with Italy and roared defiance at Great Britain. He warned of a great naval ofteus- ive to come in March and April, with submarines unleashed iu gi• gautic force against British ship- ping. Upon U-boats rather than up- on air power, the Nazis were evi- dently relying, then, to match( Bri- tish sea power in the final strug- gle. Nazis Relying On Submarines in this coldmn last week, Would It be likely to, if '1-Litler thought Ito could find some easier way to 'win the war. His Munich speech tended to heighten expectation that a prolonged campaign of attrition against Britain's :lifeline, in the At• • lanttc--(chgklc:tttt supplies- train.: • the United -;e), paralleled by a. stepped-up. ale Attack on the Brl- ]sles could be expected as A sub- stitute. •British authorities • continued to talk of a long war, realizing that Hitler will fall only when It is fully established that he cannot maintain superiority.. in the Heavens, nor (Ivor gain. control of the eons. • More Destroyers, Somehow In the coming crisis, American equipment to combat the submarine menace, ar.d more destroyers from the U, S, were viewed as absolutely essential. Respouslble men in Washington were of the opinion that with the final enactment of the Lease -Lend Bill accomplished, the United States would now com- inei;ce furnishing almost anything we ]lave" to aid Britain, Additional destroyers would be transferred right away, it was believed, and following a series of quick "aid acts" over a period of the next three months, the United States would likely he in the war. Pacific War? 50.50 Informed speculation lin the U. S. placed the chances of war with Japan close to 50-50. it seemed clear that the American Navy would strike .it Japan attacked Singapore or the East Indies, It was not fully known whether or not Japan regarded the U. S. posi- tion in the crisis as bluff—some hot -head "Incident" might precipi- tate armed conflict In the Pacific. In face of the' dark situation in the Far East, efforts were renewed last weak by United States and Russian officials to adjust difficult trade and political problems be- tween the two countries and to strive for improvement of relations generally. Soviet Preparedness Presenting the Russian budget to the Supreme Soviet, Finance Com- missar Zvereff reaffirmed that the policy of the U. S. S, R. was one ot neutrality In the present war, Nevertheless preparations were made to,spend this year 25 per cent more on arias than last year. The Chairman of the Soviet Board of Defense Industry declared in Mos- cow that the ,Soviet. Union must adopt measures to equip its nation- al economy., .with advanced tech- nique to keep the country in a due state of preparedness. "Wo must spare no means," Ire said, "for the production of planes, tanks, arms• inonts, warships and' aminunitlon." For the year 1941 a gross increase was planned in Soviet industrial production of 17 to 18 per cent over 1940. Hitler referred to "new type" subs to be thrown into the counter - siege of Britain—undoubtedly pock- et U-boats. A neutral naval source recently estimated that the Germ- ans might have as many as 600 undersea craft, all told, available in the spring. (Half of that force, soma 300 Usboats, might he kept constantly on sea vigil about the Britislt Isles as the weather ' im- proved). Change In Strategy Kirke L, Simpson, Associated Pressman writing front Washing- ton, expressed this opinion: "If it is submarines, intimately co-oper- ating with aircraft and occasional Nazi surface raiders, upon which Berlin is chiefly relying for victory, it would tend to explain much in German military strategy.

First -floor space is preferred, adjoining' the kitchen, but if this arrangement is not feasible the household laundry can be set up in the basement — can even be included as part of the heater room for further economy.

Boyle; P. 466 "TRAIN RIDE" For a lesson in endurance, you should try riding In a day coach on a transcontinental train. On our way last week to meet a friend in Sudbury, we had the experience of riding all night long on what the railroad was pleased to call Its trauscontinental train, It was an experience worth many dollars . although in the act- ual process the experience didn't seem to be compensation for the aches and creaks that seemed to develop with each lurch of the train. • x. ieltce of having frigid cold blo`wing down your neck was discovered. Thte windows were far from being 1111'41311 in' their frames, The next step was to turn complete- ly around and try placing the pillow next to the aisle, Then with a hand firmly grasping the back of the seat, t'he feet were drawn' up tightly and t'he body was eased down into what we fondly believed to be a comfortable. position. Everything was fine until the train lurched and in company with about thirty other people a sudden descent was made from the seats to the floor. Growing almost desperate, another hour was spent in punching the pillow into various shapes and (unpin.. the feet in all possible positions. Twico the feet slipped and came dangerously close to going out the window, Dis- gusted a trip was made back to the smoker for a smoke, and there we dis- covered about twenty men crowded in to a small compartment smoking ev- erything from foul pipes to hand•rolled stogies made out of something re- sembline rotted burdock leaves, Back to the .seat again, The train- man padded in and looked over the tiny tickets punched over each window and roused a couple of parties who were getting off at a small station. How we envied therm! Soon they would be able to climb into a bed and sleep, Even' the prospect of stretching out on a hard station waiting -room beach seemed like heaven compared to trying to sleep on a space roughly estimated at being 3 feet by 1. An Air Force member slept with 'his 17yideutly In an effort to drum up mouth open, his feet draped up over ilusinees for the sleepers, the train of-; the seat in front of hitt. His buddy ficials placed us in a coach that would halt slumped into the seat ahead had' have made Noah's Ark look like a pal -1 to duck the feet each time we went ace. Each seat was individual, and no matter how much you tried there was no chance of making a double seat for yourself and so enjoying some meas• nee of comfort, It appeared also that the track had been sprung into strange curves, for which the lumbering old car was not prepared. When the remainder of the train w s ,.winging in one direction, this particular car, like the last lamb in a hand of sheep, wanted desperate- ly hard to get off by itself. Purchasing a pillow for the night from the porter, we tried curl;ng up on a seat. Placing the pillow beside the window and gradually easing down into t'he seal, the unpleasant exper- around a curve, A girl in the seat ac- ross t'he aisle solved the problem by piling,alt her baggage up in the space hr front of her seat and making slight. ly more ,space on which to stretch out, Up ahead there slept a man in a red mackinaw, snoring soundly and rasp- ing like a cross -cut saw on a spike every time we -rounded a curve. • 'But came the dawn and as the port- er went around °.'athering up 'his pil- lows, the genial trainman came in and said, "Sudbury Junction, next stop". As an afterthought he mumbled: "Sleep pretty good". There was no answer to that question . , , only an assorted medley of groans and moans as the party limbered up. /'ant CANADIAN'.._.,,.....

Beavers Win The Group Indians Lose To Paisley Seaforth Beavers won their Group on Monday night, when they eliminat ed the Waterloo Siskins In the fifth, and deciding game, by a score of 2 to 1. The game was played before a large crowd at the Stratford arena. Eyewitnesses from here, who sat in on the game, say it was a thriller, and Chat the Beavers were full value for their win, Only the sensational goal- tending of Dahmer in the Waterloo nets, kept the score close, Goal -get- ters for Seaforth were Frank McEwau of Clinton and "Farmer" McFadden or Seaforth, Figuring prominently in the play were also Cy. Proctor and Len. Nichol of Wingham. Ducharme of Stratford also played well for the Sea- forths, The above may sound like a bit of a ribbing at the Beavers' expense, but it is actually what is taking place in many of the teams, under the Sol- diers' Certificate replacement ruling inaugurated by the O.H.A. this year. Apparently the ruling throws the game wide open from a replacement angle. We can imagine that if the rule remains' In force for next year the clubs will have to add another group of committeemen to their ros- ter, to .be known as "the welcoming and introduction committee".

PRINTED TEXT, Luke 20 9.20 GOLDEN TEXT.—Blessed are ye when ' men reproach you, and per- secute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake, Matt, 5 : 11, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIme,—Tuesday, April 4, A.D. 30. Place.—All the events of the chapter, down to 21 ; 5, took place in Jerusalem proper; the Olivet discourse was given on the Mount of Olives, directly opposite from and east of the Holy City,• The prophecies uttered in this lesson are wonderfully rich, a rev- elation evelation of Christ's divine fore- knowledge and an unveiling of fu- ture events. The Wicked Husbandmen Luke 20: 9. "And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went in- to another country for a long time.: 10. And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husband - men beat him, and sent him away empty. 11. And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled hint shamefully, and sent him away empty. 12. And he sent yet a third: and hint also they wounded, and cast hint forth. 13. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him, 14. And when the husbandmen haw him, they reason- ed one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may he ours." The inference in this parable is that the owner will eventually comeback to the vineyard and punish his treas- onable and murderous tenants by death. That the vineyard and Its husbandmen together represent Is- rael, almost all would agree. The nse of The Vine as a symbol of the Jewish people is a familiar one in the Old Testament. With it go the thoughts of Divine care for it, and Divine hope of fruit from it, Have we here, then, the Vineyard as the emblem of the people, and their Leaders—the Rabbis, Elders, and Teachers — represented by the wicked cultivators? If that be so, the servants sent,by the owner are prophets bringing a message to the people. Warning to the Husbandmen 15. "And they cast him forth out of tho vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of rho vineyard do unto them? 16. IIe will come and destroy these hus- bandmen, and will give the vine- yard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid." 1f the husbandmen here referred to are the ecclesiastical leaders of Is• iael, who should hare been godly men, warmly welcoming the Mess- iah instead of partaking in his death, then the punishment here predicted was definitely accom- plished in the destruction of Jer- tuntlem under Titus in A.D, 70.

J. Coyle, Chatham rep- resentative of a large soup colfl- pany says the Windsor Daily Star. Although a large acreage has been allotted to farmers, there is still some available to interested growers, 11Ir. Coyle said. A num- ber of growers in the Leamington area have shown interest in the new crop and will be contracted, he said. USED IN FLAVORING A green vegetable used exteu- .stvely for flavoring canned soups, okra has formerly been brought to the Canadian plant of the com- pany in brime tanks from their Camden, Nev Jersey, plant but efforts to preserve Canada's for- eign exchange have influenced the company to encourage large scale growth of the vegetable in Canada.
