PAGEB TWO THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE There are many things than, can be said on the debit side of the war. Let us note one that can be stated to its credit: It stimulates the imagination and it temps the scientist to new prodigies of achievement. Necessityâ€"stark cruel necessityâ€"is indeed the mother of accomplishâ€" ment. Not in the arts of war alone but in the more generous arts of peace. We all remember those tragic and desperate daysâ€"after Dunkirk when Britain stood with her back very definitely to the wall. We didn‘t know then that the danger from within was almost as great as the danger from without. For hunger can often do what the weight of armies has not been able to accomplishâ€"break the morale and destroy a people. And there was a time when Britain, with just two weeks‘ Qu;:pl;' of necessary food, threat of Hitler‘s legions. 1111405 00 t s 4B 2 0sn te in in _A But that is past now. It is past not only because ways have been found to supply that necessary food, but because the scientists have proved that not so much food is needed. ‘1 Food is still scarce in Britain. Most of the luxuries have been almost forgotten. Even some of the necessities are sharply controlled. ‘There has been a genuine and universal tightening of belts. No one has quite what he wants to eat. If the people do not face actual hunger, | they have come very close to it. In other days such restrictions might have been fraught with grave results. But Britain is healthier and better fed today that during the last war or in the years that followed it. Perhaps this is the beginning of the freedom from fear and want that is the hope and promise that has steeled us for this war. I In years gone by men have risen in the halls of Westminster to. challenge a nation. Time and again they cried out that Britain knew more and cared more about feeding her livestock than about feeding her people. That is true no longer. There are no starved or halfâ€" starved people in Britain today. Though there may be people who still remember the generous living of other days, there are multitudes who have never lived as generously before. That is one of the major vicâ€" tories that we have overlooked, for all men know that a starving nation is a beaten nation, and that undernourishment is the greatest quisling Britain learned in those bitter years what we are beginning to learnâ€"that matters that seemed of academic interest in days of peace were not so academic. In these days of war we know that the question of what to eat and how to eat is a matter of life and death. In those other days it didn‘t seem of so great importance whether night sight was good or bad. But it mattered desperately when it was the sight of night flyers who were the only defense of home and life. That workers were slow at their jobs and subject to illness seemed almost inevitable, until the overwhelming necessity for allâ€"out proâ€" duction convinced us that it could not be inevitable, and that the ‘cure was in our own hands. That children and young men and women were neither as rugged nor as strong as they might be was something we were happy to overlook, if the suggestion ever crossed our minds. But not so when the youth of a country became the last bulwark of all our libertics and of the way of life that was dear to us. War has done that for us. If has opened our eyes to the fact that food properly used is one of the greatest of our weapons of war. of all. (This is the first in a series of urticles dealing with war planes being built in Canada to carry the war to the enemy, and for training Allied airmen under the great air training scheme. The articles are designed to give Canadians a clearâ€" er idea of the scope of the nation‘s production program in an industry which has quickly grown from inâ€" fancy to manhood within Canada.) Canada, a few years ago was practically a nonâ€"plane producing country. In the short span of the war years, clementary trainers, adâ€" vanced trainers, the Hurricane, the Bolingbroke, then the Curtiss dive bomber, the Catalina, have been, or are in the process of manufacâ€" ture. Now with the hushâ€"hush, Because of its skimming, twistâ€" ing, zooming flight, the sobriquet "Mosquito" has been bestowed, on Pritain‘s _ fabulous _ all _ purpose plane. Esteemed by aviation intelâ€" lectuals as one of the most deadly, fastest aircraft in existence, the Mosquito", now being produced by the DeHavilland Aircraft of Canâ€" uda at Malton, has added a rowel to the aircraft industry‘s spur in producing top Aight aircraft for acâ€" tive battle duty on the world‘s batâ€" tie fronts. When we deal with food we are dealing with the Number One raw material of war. Surely we, who man the line behind the fighting line, should see to it that we use it to fight our battles victorjously, not to sabotage our cause.â€"Joseph Lister Rutledge, in "Liberty".

Surprised Pilots. ‘"And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich." Luke 19: 2. â€" Here we find a man who had a| good name, a v}ood position, and: great wealth. We are told that his name, Zacchaeus, means pure or clean. He had a good name, and I suppose his parents hoped that he would become a good man with a clean life, so they called him "Pure". Some people name their child after some wealthy man beâ€" cause they hope he will get riches. Others name their boy after some great man in Parliament, but these parents named their child Pure. But alas! when he grew up he did not live up to his name, but became a publican. The publicans were aoted for their greed and selfishâ€" ness, and certainly did not live up to the good name of Zaccheaus. can be used for day or night "egg laying" excursions. With the plane‘s eerie speed, plus its conglomeration of other acrial attributes, an aircraft has teen â€" developed â€" of _ exceptional gualities; an aircraft that is asâ€" tounding in its performance. The first "Mosquito"â€"in prelimâ€" inary trials, held in Toronto reâ€" cently, took off in the orthodox faâ€" shion, then, apparently defying gravity, hung on its propellors and charged straight up into the blue, Powered by two Rollsâ€"Royce Ameâ€" rican engines, built by Packard, it came down againâ€"straight down â€"â€"at about 500 miles per hour. I wonder if we live up to our good name ‘Christian‘. You know, Christian means Christâ€"like, but oh how unâ€"Christâ€"like we sometimes are. We cannot understand why we are not able to get more unsaved into our Gospel Mectings, but when we examine ourselves is it any wonder they do not come? Do we live a life that proved to the world that we have something that the world cannot give? â€" Now when Jesus passed through Jericho, a great crowd â€" filled lfi!‘ streets, and Zaccheaus, being a man of small stature, could not see Him, so he climbed up into a tree, Alâ€" thnugh he was rich, he was not satisfied, Whenever a soul has u longing to see Jesus, He will meet his need, I imagine that I can hear O ‘‘Evenings at Home "Will you run me over to Skinny‘s pop* We‘re going on a tenâ€"mile hike‘" LAFFâ€" Aâ€"DAY people saying one to another, ‘who is that man up the tree?" Others would say, ‘he is making a monkey of himself climbing into a tree like that where everybody sees him.‘ But Zaccheaus had one objective in view, and that was to see the Lord, regardless of what people might say. When Jesus saw him he did not laugh at him like the other people did, but He said "Come down, I must abide at thy house." When others laughed at him, Jesus stopped and talked with him. Alâ€" though the people called Zaccheaus \a sinner, Jesus knew his heart, and went to his house to talk to him. That day this greedy publican reâ€" ceived Christ into his heart. _ Acknowledged Nfreatest single fcature of the "Mosquito" is its climbing ability. This was continuâ€" ally demonstrated in the plane‘s trial flight and impressed aviation experts, workers and invited pubâ€" lic with varying degrees of awe. Iorassing and clusive as the little insect it is named after, it has proâ€" ven a match for many of Germaâ€" ny‘s planes,, including the much vaunted Folkeâ€"Wulf 190. Dear reader, if you, like others, want to go to a Gospel meeting but you think your friends might laugh at you, just think that Jesus underâ€" stands. When you become saved, Satan will tell you of all the sins you have committed, and try to discourage you and spoil your testiâ€" mony, but Jesus will help you through your difficulties if you lean upon Him. Trust in Him no matter what your friends may say, they cannot help you through a lost eternity, so put your trust in Christ and be saved, "For Christ also hath once sufâ€" fered for sins, the just for the unâ€" just, that He might bring us to God," 1 Peter 3: 18.
