STORM DESTROYS SUPPLY DUMPS Storm aftermath. Mr. Churchill has commented on the bad weath- er experienced on the Eighth Army front. Here is one evidence of it Storm that swept the eastern coast destroyed large supply dumps along the shore. Hundreds of petrol tins were at the mercy of the Adriatic. RADIO REPORTER f...,Hy Possibly tli» Jargest daytime audieitce of any Canadian radio program belongs to 'They Tell Me" conducted by .Claire Wallace. Claire in private life is just as charming and vivacious a personal- ity as she is on the radio; her charm being only matched by her modesty. She was the first Can- adian woman to fly the Atlantic as a passenger. She has travelled extensively in Canada's north country, and is well liked, by her colleagues in the broadcasting in- dustry. . â-  . . CLAIRE WALLACE * * * Claire's a pretty smart girl^ one example being that some years ago before the war, she and I were both assigned by our respective radio stations to cover the arrival of a lighter than airship in Toron- to. They landed at a flying field cutside Toronto and made arrange- ments to take the visiting press and radio men up for a trial flight. Your columnist, who is in excess of 200 pounds, was among the six who won seats on the balloon for the first flight. Apparently too much â- weight was allowed aboard and coming in over the fence tlie balloon tore off its tai! assembly. Claire, who had drawn the second flight, was waiting on the ground and when your connncntator got off the balloon he gave Claire a bit of ribbing that due to the dam- age to the tail of the balloon, there would be no further flying that morning. That at'tcrnocn we were assigned to the I.«laiul airport to describe the arrival of the balloon at that point. It was supi>osed to be ar- ri\ing with only the crew, but when it landed at the Island air- port a lone lady stepped from the balloon, you guessed it. CIbtc had remained with the ship until it was fixed and had wangled herself a private ride the rest of the way into Toronto and. as a matter of fact, she wound up with the best story of all of us who had been WINGED VICTORY Bombs (bottom of photo) from this RAF plane form a symbolic "V-for-Victory" at. they plunge toward er.emy installations on the Kome-Pescara road in Italy. assigned to cover the balloon's ar- rival. 'They Tell Me" is sponsored by the. National War Finance Com- mittee and is carried by every ra- dio station in Canada. It is. heard over CKCL Mondays through Fri- days from 4.15-4.30 p.m. Claire has an intense personal interest in the war inasmuch as her husband is serving with the Royal Canadian Ordnance' Corps on one of Canada's coasts, and her son is serving in the Xavy. • * « Fiaiikie Sinatra, the current rave of the "bobby sock brigade", is in the doghouse according to Trade publications and reports coming out of Hollywood. Frankie's publicity has gone to his head and he is getting to be rather a diffi- cult young nian to handle. The United States Army is going to ban Sin.atra's broadcast discs, un- less the young ferns who whinny and whine every time Frankie steps to the microphone shup up. The Army feels that the fighting man wouldn't like this kind of nonsense. « * * Beside the National Hockey League games the largest sports coverage in Canada are those of the Cillette Boxing bouts. Bill Corum, who works with Don Dunphy, is one of New York's best known sports writers and sometimes we think tl-.at Corum'i between rounds and other colour Is much more interesting than Don Dunphy's blow by blow descrip- tion. No reflection on Dunphy, who does an excellent workman- like job, but he is still, not well enough known to the majority of Canadian sports fans to rank with the top comtnentators in Canada, but he will one of these days. Gillette fights are carried on a coast to coast Canadiar. network and by CKCL most Friday nights at 10.00 P.M. EWT.

The cursing of the fig tree occurred the next day, Mon- day. All the rest of the events rec- orded in this lesson occurred on Tuesday of that week. Place â€" The triumphal entry oi curred on the western slope of the Blount of Olives. The scenes' in the temple, of course, occurred in the temple area. The rest of the events in this lesson occuri-ed in 0' very near to the city of Jeru- salem. Entry into Jerusaleih Jerusalem . . . aiid straiglitway he Jerusalem . . , and straightaway he will send him bav-k hither." The owner of the ass, as a faithful and dutiful servant of the Lord, would straiglitway comply -^jith Christ's request. The true servant of Christ is ever ready and willing to do the Lord's will. "And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him." It needed faith and courage en the part of the disciples to do their Lord's bidding, but they im- plicitly believed His word and atted upon it. Christ's Word Effective "And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: .\nd they let them go." The own- ers would be. surprised to see the apostles loosing the colt but 'they let them go.' By that action they admitted the right of the Lord to have first claim upon their prop- erty. The disciples did not make up any explanation of their own in loosing the colt. It was Christ's word they spoke, not their own, and they found it effective at once. Too often, we fail in Christian service because we give too much time to T.hat others say, and too little to what Christ says. It is His word that men need; it Id His word which alone is effective with men. The King of the Jews ".\nd they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their gar- ments; and he sat upon him." The disciples cast their garments upon the colt, both as a saddle, and to render Him royal homage. Christ mounted the colt that He might enter the Holy City as the King of the Jews. '"And many spread tlieir gar- ments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields." Many catching the enthusiasm of the moment, spread their garments, in place of tapes- try or webs of cloth, along the way where Jesus would pass. Oth- ers took branches from palm trees and strewed them in the way. From this act the day has received the popular name of Palm Sun- day. Hosanna in the Highest , "And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hos- anna; Blessed is he that cometh in tlie name of the Lord. Blessed is the kingdom ihat cometh, the kingdom of our fattier Uavid; Hos- anna in the highest." T'he people hail Him joyfully as their prom- ised king. Our Saviour passes on, meek and grave. It is a scene of triumph, but He knows lie is even now drawing nigli to Calvary. Cleansing ot the Temple ".\nd they come to Jerusalem... for tlicy feared him. for all the u'ultitudc was astonished at his teachings." Having cleared the market, Jesus be.gan to teach the people who had assembled, .\fter chal- lenging their authority in the Tem- ple, and thus bolittliiig them be- fore the people, the chief priests felt the time had coino for action. L the influence of Jesus of Na- zareth increased, their material in- terests would suffer.

That is what I thought as I went for the mail this morning. Y'ou see in the little time that it took the to walk from the house to the road aiil back again, six planes w'ent over my head, all in different directions. But never a car did I see at all. More planes in the air than cars on the roadâ€" isn't that something? I wonder how it will be after the warâ€" I mean, will there be more planes and less cars, or more cars and less planes? Naturally planes will be in greater demand for commercial use but I suppose, unless they develop some kind of aerial "flivver" you and I will still be quite content to roll along on. the road â€" and think ourselves mighty lucky at that. l:aving pas- sed through a period of not being able to roll along just when we felt like it. « « « Recently I wondered whether our car was doomed o be laid up for the duration. You see one day Partner and I were going to town and as we started Partner said I had better drive easy as I had a tiie that looked as if it might blow out any time. (I have told you that Partner absolutely refuses to drive a car, haven't I?) That may have been good advise â€" it is bet- ter to be safe than sorry, especially where a car is concerned â€" but it certainly didn't add to my com- fort. I knew I should have tried my luck at getting a couple of new- tires, but what with one thing and another I had put it off. Now I was really driven to it. The ap- plication was sent away. .\nd I waited, and waited, and waited! Each passing day increased my uneasiness, 1 heard rumors of applications being turned down; of govermnc'-.t regulations being tigh- tened upâ€" and I can tell you that shabby old '30 of ours began to look like a million dollars. .\nd then after tliree weeks the permit came through. I think when we get tires I shall trim thciu up with pink bows just to celebrate. w * * Did I hear someone say â€" "Oh yes. a larmer gets all the breaks, .lust let me try for new tires and see how far I would get." Well, I can understand your viewpoint â€" it must seem pretty tough to you when you probably leel that a car i; just as necessary to you as to tlie farmer. But yet, you are get- ting along without it, aren't you? Whereas the farmer â€" well, a car is as necessary to him now as any of his field iiiiplements. Take our car for instance: it hardly ever goes to town without bringing back a hundred of bran, shorts, chop or laying-mash. It takes in eggs and cliickens, grain to be them in the very place where they ruled was an unpardonable offence aiid Jesus must be destroyed. It came to this: cither Jesus must die or their power be o.erthrowii. The difficulty was. How could they effect their end? They saw that the common people favored Hii.i, and were interested in His teach- ing. This made them afraid to in- terfere with Him openly (com- pare Mk. 14:31. chopped, and sometimes it is piled high with Red Cross sewing, knit- ting and quilts. It takes people to and from the station, it gets repairs and does the weekly shopping. It goes to church and to meetings; it calls at every farm in the district whenever a Red Cross drive is on, and accassionally, yes, very oc- cassionally, it does take us to a show. Oh yes. qnd ()nce in while it goes to the city when shopping becomes a vital necessity. But never, since gas raiioning, has it used up all the coupons to which it is entitled. We apply for the lowest category on whicii we think we can manage â€" and then try to use less. « * « When we have orders for boiling fowl it is ray job to pick out birds that are not laying. Experts tell vou that if vou look for this and that you can always tell if a bir4 is laying or not. Well, if I follow all the rules and pick a bird that definitely shouldn't be laying I generally find â€" too late â€" that she was all set to lay eggs for the rest of her natural life. So now I ignore the experts. Instead [ stand quietly inside the pen an4 watch the biddies. What I watch for I can't tell you. but there is something about the look of a he« that tells me whether shcis tayinc or not. Take that one yesterday â€" by all the rules she should have been laying, but I didn't tliink she looked as if she were. So Partner killed her â€" and she wasn't. Was I glad I was right! Second sight? Oh, I don't think so. Just hen- sight, I guess. , .\ustrajia's new wheat crop is e»- tiuiated at 97.000,000 bushels com* pared with Io6,000,ooj a year ago.
