NEXT: What domesticated animal did Columbus find in America? A FARM WIFE CHATS TO WOMEN By Gwendoline P. Clarke Tomorrow Is the last day of Oc- tober. Nothing very unusual In that I suppose but yet I always feel that when we say goodbye to October we also say goodbye to any hope of more autumn weather. When November comes well any- thing may happen snow, sleet or hard frost. And then, come November, It U BO time to Christmas and before you know It we are Into another year. But of course, winter has Us compensations. It U a good time to get caught up with your work ready for summer again. If there were no winter I don't believe I would ever see the end of my mending or get to the bottom of my correspondencr pile. And then winter weather does give oue a chance to get more Red Cross work done, doesn't it? There Is no nd to the sewing, knitting and quilts that are needed. You kuow It BO happens that 1 have been war work convener for our local branch of the Women's Institute, and also for the County as a whole, since the war started and I must say that I find a great deal of satisfaction In the work. I just love to see the socks and weaters and quilts, and the hun- dred and one other things that come to me from members of our Institute for shipment to the Red Cross. And when I look at a big pile of work I always wonder what the women would have had to how for their time had they not done It. Just at present there are two huge cartons sitting in our living- room. They are very unsightly Should visitors arrive and 1 am expecting visitors but that doesn't worry me one bit because in thoe oartons I am packing ditty bags they arrive. There ure eight in FIRST TOOTH With the usual display of lung power, 2-weeks-ohi Spencer Lee Little, of San Jose, Calif., dis- plays the tooth discovered by hli mother just after he was born. the cartons so far before the boxes are full there will be twenty- one. The value of each bag Is ap- proximately $4, BO that makes a total of |S4, doesn't it? Our Insti- tute is divided into five groups. Bach group collected money In its own neighbourhood with which to buy the thlugs for the bags. Into each bag was also packed a pair ot knitted seamen's socks. Wouldn't It be nice if we could follow even one of those bags to the end of KB journey, Imagine any one of those sailor boys a boy possibly Just as young as yours or mine working on storm- lashed decks on a boat in mid- Atlantic. Handling cables that freeze In his bands; climbing to the crow's nest; going here and going there at the command of hU officers, and always In danger of U boat attacks. And then Im- agine that same boy, going oft duty below deck and opening up a ditty bag . . . finding a tube of healing ointment for his chapped and roughened hands . . . tooth- paste and shaving cream . . . candy that will taste minify good after ship's rations. A Digest mag- azine to road Just when he has read that torn and tattered hook for the fifth time that he borrow- ed from Seamen Jim. Then he digs a little further into the ditty bag and finds a can of soup . . . meat cubes . . . cocoa all requiring only a little hot water to make a drink that will wurni him right down to his half fro/.en feet but feet that will feel a lot more com- fortable once they are Inside that grand pair of hand-knit socks. Can't you Imagine that boy saying to himself "Thank God for the women at home!" Well, I sea two more cara com- ing up the lane so that means more ditty bugs. Very soon they will all he in and Partner will tie up the cartons and then away I KO to town to sp<>ed the bags on their way to our !)oys In blue. And tomorrow oh dear, to- morrow will be another busy <Iay us my sister and tin phew are com- ing for the week-pud. And not one thing have I ready for their vlsltl SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON November 21 HONESTY IN ALL THINGS Exodus 20:15; Leviticus 19: 11, 13; Luke 19: 1-10, 45, 48. GOLDEN TEXT Thou shall not cteal.

The Decalogue was giv- en 1445 B.C.; our Lord met Zac- chaeus In Jerusalem In March, A.D. 30; the second cleansing of the Temple took place on Monday of Passion Week, April 3, A.D. 30. Place. The Ten Commandments were delivered from Mount Sinai; the event recorded concerning Zacchaeus took place in Jericho, at the lower end of the Jordan River; the cleansing of the Temple, of course, took place In Jerusalem. Condemnation of Theft "Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to an- other. Thou shall not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until morning." If we love our neighbor we shall do to him exactly as we should like him to do to us. We shall be truthful, fair, honest in all our dealings with him. Rather than defraud him, we shall give him full value for his money. Rather than keep an employee waiting for his wages, we shall pay him in good time. The man who is hired from day to day is Invariably a poor man whose living depends on prompt payment. To withhold money due is a form of robbery. The Barrier of Wealth "And he entered and was pass- Ing through Jericho. And behold, a man called by name, Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and lie was rich." Luke mentions Zac- chaeus was rich perhaps because It was most unusual for a rich man to seek the company of Jesus. The disciples learned from the incident of the rich young ruler how great a barrier wealth was to the en- trance of the rich into the King- dom of God. Eagerness To See Jesus "And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way." Because of the short- ness of his stature Zacchaeus fear- ed that In the press of the multi- tude he might be prevented from actually seeing Christ. He was a determined man; he refused to al- low his small stature to defeat his purpose. If we are going to see and know Jesus as our Saviour, then we must be determined, resolute, for there will be many obstacles to overcome. Jesus' Graciousnesi "And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaous. make haste, and come down ; for to-<lay I must abide at thy house." Zacchaeus experienced unexpected Joy at Jesus' command. The rich shun- ned him; he was \ social outcast. But Jesus the great Prophet in- vited him to receive Him as his guest. Welcome To Jesus "And ho made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, Be Is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sin- ner." The attitude of the people to Christ's action shows how little love there was toward the out- casts of society. The action of Christ shows how great was His love for sinners. His greatness ex- posed their littleness; His sym- pathy, their callousness; His hu- 7iiility, their pride. True Repentance "And Zacchni'ii.s stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold. Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully ex- acted aught of any man, I restore fourfold." The love of Christ had touched his heart and opened up within him a spirit of true repent- ance, a desire to put wrong things right Immediately. Since Johovah had come into his life he has be- come a new man. Twofold Declaration "And Jesus sai<l unto him, To- day Is salvation come to this AUTOGIRO AND HELICOPTER: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? Main difference between these two windmill-type airplanes is that one has a propeuer in i the other has it on the tail. The autogiro, top, actually a trade name for one type of gyroplane, usci a regular propeller for forward motion and has the large wind-blown rotor instead of a fixed wing for lift. The helicopter's rotor is motor-drvien, runs the plane up and down as well as forward or back- ward. Small rotor in rear keeps the helicopter from spinning around. RADIO REPORTER By REX FROST Within this coming, week we of Canada, together with other peoples of the United Nations, will observe anothev Day of Remembrance. Radio will pause for two minutes at 11 a.m. Thurs- day, November llth to silently pay tribute to those who gave their lives that we might live and progress along the Path of Free- dom. Let us pay homage in that brief moment also to service men and women who right now arc carrying the torch, and pledge ourselves 'n thought and deed to help them in every way possible to Speed the Victory! For those not attending a local Armistice service, ladio station CFRB will carry a special broad- cast from the steps of the City Hall, Toronto, from 10.55 to 11.30 a.m. on November llth. An evening observance o-f Ar- mistice Day takes the form of a special musical tribute to be heard over the CBC network from 10.16 to 11.15 p.m. Mem- bers of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Mendelssohn Choir, under the direction of Sir Ernest McMilla.i, will take part in the program, which will also include a. spoken salute to Can- ada's fallen, and trumpeters sounding The Last Post, will usher in a dramatic and choral delineation of the words of the I ; ible, promising that "there shall be peace on earth, goodwill among men." The Mendelssohn Choir will render the Hallelujah house, forasmuch as he also Is a son of Abraham. For the son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost." All the house was blessed through the change wrought In Zacchaeus. As one of 'the lost sheep of the House of Israel', Zarchaeus -was entitled, on his repentance, to the blessing! Christ offered. Even this publican was a son of Abraham and, there- fore, must not be excluded from Jewish privileges. The Temple of God "And ho entered Into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, saying unto them, It is writ- tun, and my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made It a den of robbers." It was profane and sacrilegious to turn the very House of God into a scene of noisy and greedy barter. These uu spirit- ual traffic mongers aroused the Indignation of our Saviour. The very prinsts stood condemned also, for they allowed this unholy traf- fic within the Temple. They would receive in cash part of the plunder. Wlien the priesthood Is corrupt, then corruption becomes universal. Chorus, followed by the sound- ing of The Reveille. On Wednesda>, November 17, at 10.30 pan. Capt.
