NDIVIDUAL A Weekly Column About This and That in Our Canadian Army Where Is that man who referred to me and other writers who look things In the face a* "you alann- Jsta"? I'd like to take him on a little motor trip to the Oaape Peninsula! That Is to say I'd like to take aim for that trip but for one thing It would be a shame to waste gaeoltne on him. And motor trip* re out except for the ninnies with their heads burled In the aod who (till run their cars, "Just for a little Jaunt on Sundays" "A ltttl Jaunt on Sunday*." W ire fighting a people who would shoot them for that. 80, JjMt because we ar not a people who shoot amateur traitors, they blithely disregard signs that even Mi* dnlteet common man can read, squander life-saving gasoline, wear out badly needed rubber and com- placently Increase the spread of the> only portion of their anatomy Ter likely to be Impaled upon a German or Japanese bayonet. Some of them, on the long, stra- tegic road that follows the St. Lawrence, even drive with theVr headlights full on after dark. And all this, mind you, after the news has been released that enemy submarine* have been active In tbe Gulf of St. Lawrence! A black-out has ben ordered on tbe banks of the River St. Lawr- ence and extending five miles in- ward. This has not been done for fun, It has been done because lights on shore enable a navigator to make his way to the point he desires to reach and equally because llghte on the shore silhouette any vessel en a little flshlng boat 'be- tween the shore and an enemy raider. So you see this has not been done tor fun. It has been ordered be- cause Canada, whether we like it or not, le In the war zone. It has been ordered because lives have been lost on the broad bosom of the mighty waterway, the banks of which Lady Bessborough once described ae "arms that reach out to welcome visitors to Canada." There are some visitors Canada does not welcome hence the need for a black-out. Shortly after the black-out wae ordered. Indignant complaints reached the authorities that it was not complete. The answer to this was fairly simple. Many of the farmers living In the country sur- rounding the river do not read the newspapers, do not listen to radio and did not understand how close the war has come to Canada's shores. They understand now be- cause the authorities quickly de- rlsed a plan for notifying every villager, every farmer, of the black- out order and of the reasons for tt and the necessity for its observ- ance. The foregoing paragraph, how- ever, grants no absolution to the motorists who drove along the highway with their headlights on, headlights that, every time the road rounded a cape, pointed out like twin searchlights across the black waters of the gulf. These were just careless if so criminal a disregard for the lives of Cana- dians afloat for the protection of Canada can be called careless motorists who thought more of their own safety and more of the illy "necessity" for speed that would not permit them to dun their lights and proceed at a pace calculated not only to assist the war effort by maintaining the darkness but also to assist it by conserving tires and gasoline. And it Is not only In the black- out areas that such "careleei" motorists mar the otherwise bright pages that Canada ! writing ta th htetory of these awful war years. On tbe Sunday preceding Thanks- giving Day and on Thanksgiving Day Itself, you saw for yourself streaone of private automobiles that choked the highways sur- rounding th larger cities. What you thought about it I can gueo. What I thought about It, no news- paper can print. Apparently such Inshneas is something that only public opinion applied privately can remedy. This column, the forty-second, that hag appeared in these pages, brings to an end the series known na The Individual Citizen'* Army. It comes to an end because this Individual citizen no longer will have the time to write a column a week. As a matter of fact, under King's Regulations and Orders governing the Canadian Army, h will not have permission to writ* for publication, because tibia "old sweat" puts on the uniform again with Canada on his shoulders to enable a younger man, who is fit, to move on to one of the fronts on which we all are sure the Cana- dian Army will goon again vlo- toriously take up the torch thrown to It by falling hands quarter of a century ago. THE BOOK SHELF SIGNED WITH THEIR HONOUR By James Aldrldge John Quayle was a flying officer patrolling a fighter plane in Libya when the fighting command rush- ed air aid to Greece. On the way to the front he met a Greek girl, Helen Stangou, and they fell In love. This was no ordinary love affair born of emotional Impulse. Quayle had learned the art of fighting rapidly but he learned the other lessons of the war more slowly, for the day-to-day struggle to fight and survive took prece- dence over everything elee. So It was partly because he came to realize that Helen understood the complexity of their lives ami their relationship to the war that his love for her was sure and deep and the one thing he most needed in the struggle for survival. The people of the novel are Greeks, Britishers and Australians. It is a tale of dog fights in the air, arid retreat by land and by sea. It will be widely read as a tale of excitement and suspense and for Its love story. It will be remembered as a significant ex- pression of young men's thoughts and hopes and fears as they fight to live on day by day so that oth- ers may survive to live as free men in a saner, better world.

And even when he it old he will not depart from it. Proverb* 22:6. Tl-E LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. The particular passage assigned to us in Deuteronomy was written somewhere about 1*60 B.C. Paul wrote his last letter to Timothy about A.JJ. 66. Place. All the early chapters of Deuteronomy record discourses by Moses on the plains of Moab, on the eastern side of Jordan. The econd Epistle of Paul to Timothy was written from Rome, Timothy being probably at Ephesus. First Commandment 4. "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." These verses, 4 and 5 are referred to by our Lord as 'the first and great commandment.' 6. "And thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." The demand 'with all thy heart' excuses all half-heart- edness, all division of the heart in its love. The heart is men- tioned first as the seat of the emotions generally and of love in particular; then follows the soul as the centre of personality in man, to depict the love as per- vading the entire self-conscious- ness; and to this is added 'with all the strength,' that is of body and soul. * The Truth Taught 6. "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall b* upon thy heart; 7. and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and ihalt talk of them when thou sitceth in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." If the Word of God is in our heart, then it will be the centre of our life, and it will be inevitable that we hall speak to our children fre- quently of the Word; the age of childhood in the time for instruc- tion and for molding life. Tha Truth In L.t. 8. "And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets be- tween thine eyes. 9, And thou thalt write them upon the door- posts of thy house, and upon thy gates." The little metal boxes or kin bags, containing the ten com- mandments or other portions of the law, are hung on the right hand door-post of orthodox Jew* ven today. Every pious Jew en- tering a horn* where such are at- tached to the door-post will touch or salute it. The tragedy is that these artificial devices often take the place of real devotion to the Word of God, and those who use them find it convenient and take it to be sufficient to simply al- low these inscribed passages of the Word of God to come in contact with the arm or the brow, without allowing the actual truth of these passages to enter into ;<j"t domin- ate the heart itself. Reaions For Obeying God 20. "When thy son asketh thee In time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you? 21. then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bond- men in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; 'I'l. and Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Etrypt, upon Phar- aoh, and upon all his house, be- fore our eyes; 23. and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. 24. And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day. 25. And it hall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this com- mandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us." Why are the laws of God some- times so hard to obey? For the Israelite, the great reason was because the God Who gave these com man dine nts had delivered them from the bondage of Ejrypt, RADIO REPORTER * H.OST With gasoline strictly rationed and heavier income taxes, Cana- dians will be making their own amusement more and more as the months roll along.

The God Who delivered them from Egypt would give such commandments only for their own good, that they might live abun- dantly. Thus they were to obey the law for two reasons: first, because the commandments were given by One to Whom they owed their very freedom, and secondly, because obedience to these com- mandments would always result in the enrichment of their lives, and their own material and spiritual welfare. Early Instruction 14. "But abide Thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15. and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." This reference to .Timothy's earlj training fol- lows upon a long enumeration of the terrible characteristics that will be manifest in mankind tren- erally. at the end of the age. Paul declares they will not mark Timothy's life because he has been instructed so adequately that by this truth he will be given vic- tory over all these evil tendencies. In other words, the very roots, if properly nurtured and cared for, could only produce, by the power of the Holy Spirit, a life strong in purity and in, wavering in faith. urday between now and Cfarkt- mas.
