EATING HIS WAY OUT RADIO REPORTER iw..«v Mr. Polar Bear of the Bronx zoo. New York, is evidently anxiou* to leave his quarters. It looks like a good romp in the snow on the other side, but bars make awfully tough eating. CHRONICLES ol GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke Vi: "Come wind, come weather'' I still have a feeling that spring is hiding somewhere just around the corner. I think that, because, in spite of the snow covered ground, the birds, who are wiser than we are, are acting quite differently . these days. They chatter away among themselves and show a lot more activity than they did a month ago. There is a little white-breasted nuthatch on the front lawn interests me tremendously. He is a happy litjle fellow. Some- times he perches on the window- sill for a second or two, takes a peek through the window and then away he goes again. Xext time I see him he is hunting a meal from the bark of the popular tree. The tree is quite close to the house so, by keeping well back from the window, I can watch the antics of the nuthatch without his being aware of it. « * * And of course there are plenty of sparrows and an odd starling or two â€" and I like to watch them too. The starhngs seem to be gathering up lesting material. It seems a little early for that but then maybe they have heard of the acute housing shortage and it may be that they think that even the birds of the air should take some thought for the morrow. Yes, Mrs. Starling, it might be a good idea to look around because, if you should fly down to the road, you will find that the mailbox in which you so persistently took up living quarters last year has been removed. A biggei and better box has been installed instead, and one to which you, Mrs. Star- ling, will find it impossible to get into. « » • It would seem the horses and other livestock have also a feeling of spring. The cows and heifers are gambolling about in the sun like young things. Yes, even niucteen-year-old Cicely was kick- ing up her h.eels this riorning. And then, when I sat down to write just now, I looked across the front field and there was our neighbour's three year old colt leading its owner a merry chase across our field. I watched to se^ what would happen and it wasn't long before the colt took the tcnce like a hunter. Well, maybe not quite like a hun- ter because he mus- have touched the top wire, as I notice one fence- post is leaning towards the lane at a drunkeii angle. • • ♦ * The squirrels have been having quite a time too. The other day when there was so much fresh, soft snow, 1 thought I saw some- thing dark moving in the snowâ€" you know how you sort of sec things out of the corner of your eye â€" and thou I looked again and saw nothing. But 1 kept watching and presently out of the deep snow jumped a little black squirrel. TITO TODAY And did he evei have a time get- ting where he wanted to g ->. We, too, have been having a time getting where we wanted to go â€" and there were times when we were not so successful as the squirrel. Nearly every afternoon Partner would hitch tlie team to the car and we would open up the lane that way ready for the morning. And then in the night the wind woulc" blow â€" or there would come more snow â€" and our newly made track would be all filled in again. Finally Dame Nature relented and gave us a partial thaw, so now, with reason- able care, we can get in i and out with out too much trouble. Fall Fairs Restored To Original Purpose speaking at the annua! conven- tion of the Class ""B" Fairs As- sociation in Toronto, Dr. G. I. Christie, president of the 0..\.C., Guelph, emphasized the necessity of keeping Fall fairs active dur- ing the war. "It would have been a great Mlaniity to discontinue these fairs", said Dr. Christie. "The people wanted them, the war ef- fort needed them and war pro- duction has increased because of them." Dr. Christie expressed the view that wartime conditions have pro- duced a great mprovement in these fairs from an agricultural standpoint and have restored them to their original purpose. He also referred to the effect of rural fairs on the improvement of live stock and particularly to the growing interest of farm youth in them. He hoped the Canadian National Exhibition, the Royal Winter Fair, Ottawa Fxhibition, and other large shows vrould be resimied as soon as pos- sible because the;' wore nee led. Ill his address. Dr. Chtistie cn- driniiid the prac i.e of show herds travelling all over the province whniing the prizes at every fair, and urged the fair di- rectors to concentrate on bring- ing out the best live stork in their own neighborhoods. Tomorrow vie was going to be all that a mortal shoud be Tomorrow; No one would he better than he 't'omorrow. F.ach morning he stacked up the letters he'd write Tomorrow, It was too bad indeed he was too busy to SCO Bill, but he prom- ised to do it Tomorrow. The greatest of workers this man would have been Totnorrow, Ihe world would have known him had he ever seen Tomorrow. But the fact is that he died and faded from view. And all that was left when living was through Was a niomuain of things he in- tended to do Toniorrtiw. â€" (."anadian Congress Tounial. Three hundred people repre- senting the broadcasting industry of Canada with guests from the United States gathered in a four Glen Bannerman • « * day conference at the Cliateau Fron- teiiac. Quebec and out of it may come a new deal of freedom for Canadian broadcasting. In his opening speech, which keynoted the conference, Glen Bannerman, who was re-elected President of the Canadian Assoc- iation of Broadcasters said, before presenting his plan for a three-man Board of Commissioners, "I am con- vinced the present system of broad- casting has, over recent years, developed a trend dangerous to the best interests of the citizens of Canada and of broadcasting. There is a real danger that you are being: placed in a position where it is gradually becoming impossible for you to meet your obligations to your fellow citizens in your com- munities. There is a distinct danger to freedom of the air, to freedom of speech and to the e.xchange of ideas. "The system is becoming too centralized â€" too monopolistic and too cumbersome for the rapid changes and developments in broadcasting. There is so much, machinery to the system that it takes far too long to make neces- sary changes and adjustments. To- day there is a continual struggle going on, not only on your part, but also within the CBC itself to prevent the present system from becoming too rigid and circum- scribed. Unless changes in the syster.i are made in the near future, I believe the struggle will be lost". It is inevitable that the struggle between private interests of Can- adian and Government owned systems will eventually come to a head, but in the opinion of those attending the convention the day that the privately owned station is killed off, will be the day that sounds the death knell of Can- adian radio.

Place. â€" The Lord's Supper was observed in an upper room in the house of an unkno\Yn person in Jerusalem: \he Garden of Geth- semane was on the lower- part of the western slope of the Mount of Olives, directly oppposite the city cf Jerusalem. The trial before the Jewish authorities was held in the building where the Sanhedrin met, though what building this was we . do not know. The trial before Pontius Pilate was held in the palace of the Governor in the city of Jerusalem. Judas, The Betrayer "And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of tlie twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver hinx unto tlieni. .\nd they, when they heard it, were glad. and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might con- veniently deliver him unto them " Observe the awful wickedness of the traitor. It is no sudden temp- tation under whicli he falls. He deliberately seeks the opportunity first of selliiiK, and then of betray- ing His Master. This is the crowning act of a course of cove- tousness and dishonesty. Plans Are Made â- '.\nd they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come to- gether with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, uito the court of the high priest: and he was sitting with the officers, and wanning himself in the light of the fire."' How carefully everything was planned! Although it is nigh; the Jewish council is already assembled waiting to receive their prisoner. The object of the meeting was to find legal ground for putting Jesus to death and justify them before the law. Peter's Demal of Christ 'And as Peter was beneath in the court and when he tfougin thereon, he wept." VVlulc Peter warms himself, he is sudden- ly challenged by the maid as beingf a disciple of Jesus. Peter disowns all knowledge of the Xazarene, all consciousness even of what llie charge meant. Then Peter heard fl.e cork crow, but it did not suo- ced in touching his h;ait Another maid accused him, and then a third. Peter's second denial was utte-ej with an oath; he blasphemed liking the name of God in vain From a deceitful evasive answer the apostle goes on to denial with un oath, and tiicn to cursing ai;d swearing Peter loved the Lord, but in this hour fear dominated; love was put aside. ^Vhen the cock • crew twice, the warning of Jesus, the love and compassion of his Lord, came flooding into his heart. The Lord has oeen beaten; Peter had not been touched. The Lord had been betrayed; Peter was safe. He reaHzed that he was an unworthy follower of the Master and, with a broken heart, went out weeping.

And Pilate said unto them, why, what eril hath he done? Put they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him." To ask [he accucing party what should be done to Christ was a grave injustice to Him. Pilate was deciding against Christ when he tried to thro â-  tire responsibihty on others. Having appealed in vain to their .'ercy he now appeals to their justice. But equally in vain They only cried out more for his death. We find from John's gospel tl9:U'p that the Jews threa- tened Pilate witii the Emperor's displeasure if lie let Jesus go. Had he been a just rulei he would have done justice to the iimocent at what- e\er risk fo himseif.
