Spread Of Typhus Ordered By Nazis The Soviet Atrocity Commission reported recently that the retreating Germans were trying to spread typhus epidemics among the civilian population and unite of the Red Army in violation of the "rules and methods of warfare accepted by all civilized peoples," and called for severe punishment of the Hitlerite Government, Germany's Supreme 'Command and all guilty individual officers. Some of the officers were identified. All the Moscow newspapers have published long' reports of investigations conducted in three concentration camps near Ozarichi in Pole-»iya Province, White Russia, in which, it was stated, more than 33,000 persons were held, including 15,900 children under 13 years of age. In their midst, it was asserted thousands were infected with ty- According to the report, those with typhus were shifted from the camp to spread the disease. There were originally seven typhus cases in the camp, according to the investigation, and these, grew to about 4,000, of whom 2,370 were children under 13, by the time the Red Army arrived.

Garden Notes STILL TIME A great many plants make any real growth unt and soil begin to warm are some exceptions, of c vegetables like beans, cai those -put in weeks before, especially if May has been cold and wet. Even in those favored areas where first sowings were made weeks ago, there is still time for several more plantings of beans, beets, carrots, corn, lettuce, etc., to ensure a continuous, fresh supply through the late summer. And as for the hot weather plants, things like melons, cucumbers, celery, peppers, squasli and such, this is about the ideal time to plant or set outside in most parts of Cana- CULTIVATION Killing weeds is of cultivation. In the weil-cared-for garden, where weeds never make much growth anyway, the main job is to improve the soil by maintaining moisture, letting in air and keeping soil fine. One or two thorough cultivations of vegetable or flower gardens after planting, and then a little stirring up lightly with a cultivator -- preferably once a week until the middle of summer -- and growth will come along almost regardless of dry weather.

Paul sends back Onesimus because to retain him would be to get a benefit from Philemon whether willing or not, and Philemon's good had always been willingly given. Paul showed true Christian courtesy which is a combination of consider-ateness, humility and love. Paul's Request "For perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldst have him forever." Paul reminds the master that his slave would be returning to him forever; forever on earth and then hereafter. "No longer as a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord. If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as thyself.." Onesimus was specially dear to Paul for he was his own son in the faith. Paul desires Philemon to receive and welcome Onesimus as though he were giving a welcome to himself. "But if he hath wronged thee at all, or owetJh thee aught, put that to mine account; I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides." What a fine spirit Paul shows; he is willing to meet^ the debt of a runaway slave. We are remind- CBBONICIES oi mm FARM Well now, what shall we talk about today -- shall it be that W. I.

So I mentioned that I was anxious to find ferns for a shady corner in the garden ana would they like to go fern hunting too. The BOMBERS' 'BRAINS' Credit for much of the success of the U. S.

Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do Paul found joy and comfort in the conversion of souls, in outward signs of his converts' growth in grace. Obedience responds to the voice of love. Love begets love, and the love of Paul would call forth a corresponding love in the heart of Philemon. Paul had confidence that Philemon would not refuse this request from his own father in the faith. I wasn't too sure where to find, the ferns, even though I had seen hundreds of thm last year while picking berries. However we headed straight for the mountain and on our way passed one of our loveliest beauty spots. Trees and rocks nearly all the way i long the road and then i suddenly, to one side of us, a clearing, and a marvellous view across the valley, the brown earth of newly worked fields accentuating the green of the trees and pasture fields, while a haze along the horizon told us we were looking straight towards the lake. Presently we passed a gurgling little waterfall, which had somehow managed to catch the rays of the sun, making flie water as it tumbled over the rocks appear to be in several shades of reddish purple. Then we turned at the first cross-road and travelled along the road with dense bush on either -side But we didn't get very far--we couldn't ■-- for who could drive past stately ferns, marsh marigolds, violets -- white, yellow and mauve--and trilliums by the hundreds" But. much a, I hate to interrupt this saga were also mosquitoes. However we wouldn't let even the mosquitoes stop our exploring, so we followed a wagon trail into the bush and many were the exclamations of surpri-e and delight. "Gwen, do come here and see these trilliums -- they are absolutely perfect!' or from me--• "Kay, 1 have found some of tjie grandest itrns--there is even a wild maidenhair among them!" And then from my nephew -- "There really are an awful lot. of mosquitoes in this bush, aeen't there?" After about a couple of -v hours we were back home again. At no time had we been more than we had seen beauty spots equal to tliose which people probably travel hundreds of miles to see.

'Dark of the Moon' Best Invasion Time The Germans seem to have de-wloped in recent days an "invasion fever", says the Christian Science Monitor. This is partly induced, they say, by a conviction that the "dark of the moon" afford* the Allies the best time to approach the Continent unobserved. While it is idle to speculate on the precise timing of the invasion, we suspect thing in thought more ponderable than phases of the moon. However, the fighter sweeps over Germany, the blasting of targets that now include relatively easily repaired railway junctions, and the massing of Russian power along tha still muddy central sector all add up to good cause for German nervousness. Once Hitler stood on-the shores of the English Channel and advised the British to "keep their shirts on," that he was coming,, Well, today the advice can be me-s?aohoned back.
