CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM y Gwendoline P. Clark* I thought this week would be a quiet week on* in which 1 could get on with my work with- out too many interruptions. And was it? Well, I'll let you be the judge. You may recall that last Sun- day we had a chimney fire that in itself was a bad beginning. Monday was more or less of a hub-bubgetting our son away again on his trip back to Van- couver Island. Tuesday I spent the whole afternoon getting a permanent and I can't think of any jo'ti that I dislike more than that. Wednesday, after my ordinary work was done, I sorted wool, tied up parcels ana prepared my war work report ready for our Institute meeting the next day. I was determined that this time I would arrange things so that I didn't hav to rush around at the last minute. Alas for my plans! Thursday the day of the meet- inga visitor arrived before wa had even finished breakfast. It was eleven-thirty before she left. I was just about frantic. There was I with never a dish or a milk pail washed, nothing ready for dinner, and two chickens to draw and pack so that I could leave them at the transport office on my way to the meeting at 2.30. 1 started in on the chickens which Partner had picked that morning and the grocer arrived with our weekly order. I got him attended to when another car ill .vi' in. This ime it was a man come to borrow the Institute chairs which we take charge of between meeting. Then I un- wrapped the fish that the grocer had brought, and which 1 wanted for dinner, and it was frozen solid. To cut a long story short I arrived at the meeting ten min- utes la'", but how I evtr got there at all is .something 1 will never .enow. JKriday ah, tlvut was the climax! It was a cold, dull day - the sort of day when you feel you must keep at sonic sort of active work otherwise the dreariness of the weather would get you down. So I started to houseck'un the pantry. Now the pantry, 1 should tell you, opens off the dining- room and I knew I would he tracking in and out so I didn't bother to clean up the dining- room at all. Well, you know what it i. like to clean n pantry- dishes here and there all over the place. Pots Slid pans, cans and containers re put wherever you can find room for them, just HO long an you can get elbow room to work. I got along fine in the forenoon. After dinner I slurled in attain nd wtu busy on the second half of the ceiling when I heard little tinkle on the doorbell. It took me so by surprise 1 nearly fell off the table. Well, there was only one thing to do and hat wa., answer the door. So I did and there was our minister! Ye gods! The firu was out in the living-room there was only otic place to receive him and that was in the dining-room with its overflow from the pantry! Well, of course I apologised for the disorder but I also said 1 was glad to see him and if he could sit in a muddle and visit, then I could, too. So we sat, and in a little while Partner joined us, and believe it or not, we all three sat and talked for over two hours. And of course we had a cup of tea, but believe me, there was no style to that tea party. The minister has only been with us two years. I wonder what he will think of Home of his flock! After he had /jone it was chore time and when Partner went to the barn he found Klmer was missing. Who is Elmer? Of course you have heard of Elsie, the Cow, haven't you? Well, this isn't Elsie, it's Elmer, and he is not much more than a year- ling. Elmer, apparently, had seen some of bis girl friends over on the next farm and had gone to visit them. It took Partner and two neighbour boys to bring Elmer back to home pastures the next afternoon. And that was our week! Beautiful Spies Soviet Uussia was reported by the Germans recently to be send- ing "beautiful and intelligent" women .spies behind the German lines parachuting them down at night. The Sveiiska MorgoiiMuilct quoted a German war correspon- dent as saying the women carried radio transmitters. HOLDS IMPORTANT POST Lieut. -Col. Margaret Eaton, Assistant Adjutant-General (C.

C.; our Lord's teachings concerning cov- etousncss in this lesson were uttered in December, A.I). 2U. Place. The Ten Command- ments were given on Mount Sinai; the passage taken frum Luke is from a discourse delivered in Peraea, ou the east of the Jordan Hiver. Sin of Covetoune "And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance ith me." The man was not a disciple but someone who wished U. use God to further his own selfish interests. There are many who have no place in their lives for Christ, but are ready to en- list the support of His teaching when it is to their advantage to do so. "And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a .iiler over you ; Uur Lord cu. not to act as an arbitrator, to uuur- fere witli the civil courts. He came to save men from their sins, to root out this spirit of covet- ousness. When a sinner is par- doned his motive then is to share what he has and not to covet more. "And he said unto them, Take liued. and keep yourselves from all covetouMiuss: for a man's life consiatetli not in the abundance of the things which lie possess- eth." Men are to be aware not only of avarice, a greedy desire to possess what belongs to an- other; lacy are warned against selfish posscsii.n. Men lust for gold, possessions, and become so enslaved to them that they be- come their very life, the tilings most uear to them. This explains why covctousness is idolatry. The Fooliih Rich Man "And lu- spake a purahlu unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he reasoned with himself, saying, What shall 1 do, because 1 have not .where to bestow my fruits'.' And he said, This will I do: 1 will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will 1 bestow all my grain and all my goods." There is aa unpardonable selfishness in this man's plans. With more posses- sions* thai, lie knows what to do with he docs not say that he is going to help the poor or share what he has. There is no ex- pression of thanks to God for an abundant harvest. A Koolith Scheme "And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou bast much goods laid POP Now, Pop's Sunk up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry." Toil in getting and anxiety in keeping possessions for one's own self- ish indulgence is but a poor result of slaving for yoars. End of Rich Man's Plan* "But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?" A man who lives as though he is only body is in- deed a fool. Man is soul as well as body. 'Man heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall gather them.' Any night our soul may be required of us. He who trusts and follows Christ and has his treasure laid up in Heaven, will not be dismayed, however sud- den the call. "So is lie that layeth up trea- sure for himself, ind is not rich toward God." All men who are living only for themselves, for this world's treasure, are as this foolish farmer. How much better to get joy out of wealth while we live by using it wisely to help oUi'/rs and to spread the Gospel. Victor; Over Covetoutne 'And he said unto his disciples, Therefore, I say unto you, Bt not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. For the life is more than the food, anu the body than the raiment." Our w* v thly concerns are His care and tie will not fail to supply the essential needs of those who crust and obey. Cod's Care for Us "Consider the rave.is, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds:" If God cares for the rav- eiii in that lie has divinely ar- raiiKt-'d for their need to be met, ; will not do less, b'lt more, for muii the crown of creation. Folly of Anxiety "And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life? This re- veal* the helplessness and the limitation of man. The cubit was originally the length of the elbow to the end of the middle finger. It is generally calculated to be a foot and a half. U. S. Chinese Air Units Now Ready The first units of a mixed Chinese-American bomber-fighter wing have arrived at China bases primed for deadly teamwork against the Japanese. Trained together, the Chinese and Americans will go side by side into combat in American- built bombers and fighters using American tactics. Marking a new venture in the history of aerial combat, the mix- ed wing is officially called the Chinese - American Composite Wing of the Chinese Air Force. All-Chinese crews man most of the planes. American pilots arc sprinkled among the fighter squadrons. RADIO REPORTER Bj REX FROST Did you say "Information please"? Well, here you have .t in pictorial form . . . personalities of the most erudite of the "quiz" shows. The lady is Jan Struther, who created the Illustrious "Mrs Miniver", heroine of that literary and screen masterpiece of the Battle of Britain. With the famous English authoress are the three regular "experts" of NBC's "In- formation Please" ... the 10.30 to 11 o'clock Monday night spot which packs an estimated listen- ing audience of around twenty millions . . . Oscar Levant, music authority; John Kieran, former sports columnist; Franklin P. Adams, literary expert. * When Dan Golenpaul first got the idea for "Information Please" old timers in radio insisted that if the questions were to be tough enough to stump the experts, the whole program would be away over the heads of the average audience. There was also the difficulty of getting men of science or letters who would be willing to "stick then- necks out". However they came along. So have the prominent guests of "Information Please" including Wendell Wiikle, Fred Allen. Lillian Glsh, Gene Tunney. Raymond Gram Swing, and Jimmy Durante .... to men- tion only a few. Since the program has been on the air, it has become apparent that "stumping the experts" Is not what appeals to the public most. The most astonishing thing is that most people love to listen and marvel at the manner in which the experts get almost all the answers to the difficult, tricky questions. From November 22, "Information Please" will be brought into Canada over CBI.I, Montreal; CBL. Toronto; and an Ontario network. We'd llk,e you to know Cy Strange, recent addition to the announcing staff of CFRB. Son of a general storekeeper aT Ailsa Craig, Cy lived for 15 years In Exeter, before breaking into radio as a tenor soloist over the London station. He sang also with Ron- nie Hart's orchestra and was parti- cularly active in musical and dramatic circles 1n Sarnia. HU first experience as radio announcer ctme with the northern broad- casting station at Timmins. Then he assumed similar duties at the new Kingston transmitter. Cy Strange's friendly, quiet spoken voice has made many friend* everywhere in Ontario. He ha one great ambition in life, he say* to play a prominent part in stag* and radio dramatics. Children Adopt . Merchant Ships British school children have been sending Christmas parcels to the merchant ships of their adoption, and some two hundred Allied as well as a thousand Brit- ish ships will get a present from the schools this winter, accord- ing to S. E. Britten, secretary of the Brtiish Ship Adoption So- ciety. He said .that the children 1 ! parcels had gone to the Far East, the Middle East, Australia and South Africa. The adoption of ships bf schools, which started three years before the war, has meant muck to the foreign merchant captains and seamen who are often "sign- ed on" by the school children as an addition to their own British ship. Farmers In Need Of Fire Protection To the farmer has com* (a recent years the telephone, th motor car, hydro-electric energy, the rural mail delivery and other conveniences to make his life lea lonely and to remove many of the disadvantages of living la the country. Among many of tho advantages that have not yet come his way, except in a feir communities, is protection against fire. And we wisli to point out that there is no reason why this should be long delayed. Kent's example, in providing rural fire protection should en- courage others to adopt similar measures. Chatham Daily News. CANADIANS IN ITALY War correspondents in Italy have in recent days told how fighting there has involved hard climb- ing over hilly, rocky country by the infantry. These Canadians, under German mortar fire, are here beginning a long march to the crest of a hill and new positions. By J. MILLAR WATT DON'T ARGUE ! YOU WERE SMOKING J SAW YOU WITH OWN EVES!
