JAP IN A YANK FOXHOLE Hemarkable photo above shows a Jap soldier, crouched in an American foxhole on Bougainville Island, where he dodged Yank bullets and grenades â€" but not for long. Enemy soldier hid himself in the fox- hole during an unsuccessful attempt by Japs to seize part of beachhead held by U.S. forces. /P CHRONICLES ol GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke \Ve had a surprise this week â€" and a very pleasant one. A tele- phone call from Toronto . . . and our son's voice saying he was on his way home. We knew he was due tor a furlough but had not ex- pected hiiu so soon. And he arrived just as Partner was ready to start on the land â€" so we had someone t'.' drive the tractor for us after all. Of cour.se we thought our seeding would be finished in double quick time. But no â€" one field was too wet to work, and then before it liad a chauce to dry it rained again. So here we are with one field partly sown and that is all. On Monday son Bob leaves for Quebec. He has a feeling that if the invasion gets underway it is •quite possible men on furlough may be recalled. And when a visit to your best girl is at stake there' is no sense in taking cliances. Imagine a fellow being recalled before he had had :i chance to" see his girl. Being a soldier is a tough business .sometimes, isn't it? * * « By the way Bob was very much aniu.ied at his sister and I think- ing him ".-iaic" as long as he was on N'aiicouver Island and not over- seas. By the time he had finished telling mc a few things I realised that all the casualties are not on the battlefield. It put nie in mind of a stupid little rhyme I used to say as a child. â€" especially if I were up to some sort of mischief â€" '"If my mother only knew, her heart would surely break in two". Our boys in training â€" and on operational duty, as Bob is • â€" might ofluii think that â€" and with some reason. « • » Our spring flowers are just com- ing into bloom with more buds showing than I have seen for a good many year.s. We have daffies and narcisiii along the edge of tlie border from one end of the gar- den to the other. And they are really lovely. Tiieu come the flowering shrubs but after they are done our garden has little to commend it because I have so little time to attend to it. Yester- day I visited a nursery in search of ornamental evergreens and shrubs â€" but it was raining and too wet for digging, so I just had to go catalogue sliopping, and that didn't get me far as what I wanted .was growing but not listcil. WINGED STAR First Lt. Tyrone Power, who le- centy won his wings as a M.t- tine Corps flyer, is pictured above at the controls of a training plane at the Naval Air Training Center. Corpus Chrisii, Tex. Won't, it be nice when everyone has time again to do the things he or she wants to do; to get help when it is needed and to spend a few hours in the garden at will? As it is one can only take time to do what is absol-itely necessary for ordinary tidiness â€" to cut the grass and keep weeds from developing into a miniature forest. Even that takes consideraI)le time. I realized that yesterday as I raked and mowed the lawn for the first time this year. Qiv new puppy helped me with the job. He is getting to be quite a dog and losing a lot of his timidity. There I go apain â€" calling it "He". I am afraid I shall never remember to call it "She". However, whether I call it he, she or it, you will know it is still the same little dog. Oh, and by the way we are going to call it "Tip" or "Tippy". Not Lassie, be- cause Partner thinks Lassie is a hard name to call. So Tip it will be â€" on account of the little white tip he has on the end of his tail â€" and it is a name applicable to either se.x â€" so that lets nie out on that score. • * * The chickens are having a great lime. They have the rim of the farm for the first time today. They have been limited to an outside scratch-pen until now. But am I going to have a problem from now on to see that Tippy treats the chickens with respect. Last night we were feeding the hens, Tippy and I, and all at once she started growling and barking ("she" that time.) I looked around to see what all the fuss was about and there was a neighbour dog in the yard â€" a big, full grown collie. He stopped . . . Tippy stood rigid, still growling. Presently the big dog turned tail and fled. It was too funny for words. If you could only have seen the difference in the size of the two dogs. Dignity and Impudence â€" and Impudence won out. « * * I am typing and talking to Bob a", the same time. He just told me that he ran into Major Paul Triquet, V.C. in B.C. â€" quite by accident, and was talking to him for a few minutes. Quite interesting, eh? $64 Question Writing in tlie Toronto Tcle- grani, Thomas Kichard Henry thinks the following a pretty fair $04 question; "Why is it that when you pull the plug in a wash ba.siii, the water ah^ays swirls out clock- wise? Mr. Henry has often watcli- ed it, wondering why it wouldn't swirl the opposite w.i.. just once. We forget the prcci.se pliysical ex- planation, but we seem to remem- ber .hearing that it does swirl coun- ter-clockwise in the lands south of the equator. â€" King>ti>a Whig- Standard.

Place. â€" Tlie city of Corinth was located in Greece, one of the great cities of the ancient world of Paul's time. A Christian Ministry "For we preach not oijrscUes, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and our- selves as your servants for Jesus' sake." Paul was first the servant of Christ and lived to please Him, and as His servant and for .flis sake he served his converts in Cor- inth. We must always remember we are first the servants of Christ, and His will must always come first. "Wherefore we faint not: but though our outward man is decay- ing, yet our inward man is renew- ed day by day." While tlie body may grow weaker year by year, that is not true with one's sp, itual life. The gradual sickenin;,- of the body is according to tlie laws of nature, but the continual increase of power in tlie inner life is ac- cording to tlie law of tiie Spirit of God. The Burden of Life "For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eter- nal weight of glory." To-day the world is too tnucli with us; we give too little thought to the glor- ies of Heaven and that is why the CAPTURED GERMAN TROOP-CARRIER IN OTTAWA Against the peaceful background of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa stands this captured eight-ton, semi-tracked German troop carrier brought to the capital for study by the Canadian Army Engineering Design branch.

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen arc eternal." The things seen, the plcasmcs of life, wealth, position, power â€" these are but for a time. It is the tilings which arc unseen â€" God, love. Heaven, eternal life, truth, righteousness â€" they are eter- nal. Pledge of Future Glory "For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dis- solved, we liave a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens." The first clause refers to our physical bodies, in which we now dwell. The second clause refers to those spiritual bod- ies which our souls will inhabit at Christ's return.

So let's introduce the same per- son under the name of L.\DDIE DENNIS, and go on from there. « ♦ « Laddie is the pretty, young wo- man announcer with CKCL, To- ronto. Born in Winnipeg, Man- itoba, in 19"20 of an English mot- her and French father, Laddie first showed her defiant spirit by uttering, as her very first words, "there now". At the ripe old age of two her family moved down to tlie heart of the cornbelt in Spring- field, Ohio, where Laddie re- mained untli she was thirteen, and from there to Montreal, Quebec, where her father and mother still live. A lively tomboy type, Laddie always enjoyed dramatics â€" taking part in school plays on every occasion. She attempted play- writing for the first time in her life when in her first year at Thomas D'.\rcy McGee High School in Montreal. It was a AWARDED BAR TO DSO Brigadier E. L. Booth, D.S.O. ol Toronto, who has been awarded tha Bar to the Distinguished Service Order, for valor in the Italian cam- paign. three-act play based on "The Le- gend of Sleepy Hollow", and it was successfully produced at the school. « « « After High School, Laddie spent three years mechanically typing eight hours a day in a large firm, while her thoughts were pre-occupied in her first love â€" dramatics. Most of her evenings were spent at the Mon- treal Repertoire School of the Theatre, taking classes in voice, interpretation, make-up and body- technique. Laddie was associated with several Little Theatre groups in Montreal. Then her thouehts turned to radio, and so she took private dramatic lessons from Eleanor Nicliol of CBM, on radio technique, diction, etc. Her first radio-break came in a Summer series of dramatics over CK.XC. Laddie headed for Toronto in the Autmnn of 1942 and has been in the Queen City ever since. In- side of two months she got her first program of her own . . . a fifteen-minute program three mornings a week over CFRB. .Mong with that she did free- lance dramatic work over the CBC. * « « In June of 19^,T she auditioned for an announcer's position with CKCL, was selected from a group of hopeful young aspirants, and thus became, as far as we know, the first full-time Commercial woman announcer in Toronto. Laddie says announcing appealed to her because she was told that there would be a crisis every twciity-minutcs or so, and that's what she thrives on. .\s for hobbies, in addition to tlircatre work Laddie plays a prety fair game of golf, and likes nothing better tlian to do a bit of horse-back riding . . . and when she can't ride 'em she says she would like to play 'em. Laddie is a good swiimner, except when there's a hami.some Lifcgiuird around . . . and then she suddenly loses her aipiatic aliilitics and shouts for help. gjven us His spirit as a pledge (or earnest) oi future glory. The Power of Hope "Being therefore, always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord (for we walk by faith, not by sight) ; we arc of good courage, I say, and jire willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord." The .\postle is more llm.'i willing to leave his earthly taber- nacle because he desires to be with Christ. If death came before the Coming of His Lord, Paul was ready to accept death; for even though it does not bring with it the glory of the resurrection body he will be at home with Christ among the souls who wait for llie resurrection. True Minister of Christ "For the love of Christ con- straineth us . . . but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again." It should be clearly noted that the love of Christ referred to here is that love which led Him to die for us on the cross. Wherever a definite manifestation of Christ's love is referred to the cross also \i ever mentioned. The love that constraineth us is the love that died, and died for all because it died for each. "Wherefore we henceforth knowr no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more." Now, since seeing Christ face to face, Paul was freed from his knowledge of Christ after the flesh, now he knew Him as 'be risen, glorified Saviour. The Spirit of God "Wherefore if any nian is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; be- hold, they are become new." When the Spirit of God comes into our hearts man sees everything in a new light. Old ideas, aims, stand- ards pass when we become united to Christ. In true conversion there ij a change so complete that it it nothing less than a new creatiou wrought by the mighty power of the Spirit. "But all things are of God, . . . and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation." A full rev^- elation of the love of God in Christ having been made to the Apostles it was ordained that by them and through them the truth should be made known to all men every- where.
