QTTAW/MjEPORTS That Adequate Physical Training Is Urged For Every Child of School Age In Canada Upbuilding of the health of the nation the pleasant way,--through recreation, is the object of Canada's newly appointed National Council of Physical Fitness under the National Physical Fitness Act passed some months ago. The Council which held its first eonferenca, last week in Ottawa, urges all communities to set up their own physical fitness program in co-operation with provincial and Dominion Councils, and "realizing 1|he lack of recreational opportunities in rural areas," urges that Provincial Councils give special attention to this aspect of physical It further recommends that all school boards consider placing their facilities at the disposal of responsible community organizations in the interests of national physical fitness, and urges provincial departments of education to V provide adequate physical training -i'oi every child of school age. The conference also endorsed the principle of more active home, family and neighbourhood recreational programs, and will work for the establishment of recreation leadership courses and expansion of physical education. Major Ian Eisenhardt, the National Director of the program and chairman of the Council visualizes the program as including not only sports, calisthenics and gymnastics but dancing, music, drama and kindred subjects in which old and young can take part.

Every day has been I full to its close--and beyond it. Wednesday I was just putting [ the finishing touches'to the dining-room, which I had been papering ---when in walked our son again. He had interrupted his furlough at home to visit his girl friend, j Now he was back again to wind j up his leave. In the afternoon] Partner and t had to go away on business, so that was one day gone. On Thursday, if it rained. Bob and I were going to Hamilton to get]' the car wheels straigtened up. If j it were fine Bob was going to work the last of the land with the tractor. The day dawned and it was neither wet or fine--just foggy and damp. We went to Hamilton. When' I came back I had all my work to do. But still the trip was worthwhile because we got the car wheels- fixed although we almost had to go down .on our knees to, persuade the man to do it. Friday Bob finished working the land and Partner completed his long-delayed spring seeding. I was washing nearly all day -- for ourselves and for the Army. That's what I thought anyway from the array of khaki that got itself into my washing machine -- and a hand power machine at that, don't forget. Early Saturday morning Daughter and a friend arrived for the week-cud. The house was a shambles--but there was nothing I could do about it--at least, not all at once. However the weather was grand and the whole family was outside niore than it was in. But not sitting around--dear me, no--our visitors make themselves very useful. Daughter swept and dusted the downstairs rooms for me and then started in to weed the garden. While all this was going on, Partner, son Bob and friend Bert went to work on a job that had been worrying Partner for some time--mostly because he wasn't able to tackle it alone. Partner will do nearly anything but he does like to have both feet on the ground. And this was one job where there was no telling wheje your feet might be. It was trinj-tning a tree--a very big tree--i the centre of the front lawn; anT every time there was a bit of wind we have been afraid it would come down and wreck the roof of the house. Bob did the climbing --and the sawing--and presently one great limb after another came crashing to earth. After dinner there was the wreckage to clear away and all three men were busy chopping, sawing and carting. And now, to look at the tree you would hardly know it had been trimmed at all, there is so much of it left. Sunday afternoon Bob went off ronto--the rest 6i us went for a short but lovely drive through the country. We might have been driving around yet if Partner had--n't been there. He was the only one who knew winch way to go when we got onto strange ground. Of Course Daughter and I had to we could pick wild flowers. After all, who could drive by nodding columbines and sweet-scented phlox? After supper there was the usual scramble to crowd a lot more into a little time. But at last came that trip to the station-- and Bert's face was so red, particularly his nose, that Partner saitl he would need an alibi to explain his week-end activities. I was hardly back from speeding the parting guests when Bob blew in again--havingf hitch-hiked from to ask if she had left her' v.allct round and found Dan-liter's wallet to our son.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time. -- The Second Epistle to Timothy'was written at the end of the Apostle Paul's life, probably ii A. D. 67. Place. -- This Epistle was, of course, written from the city of Rome, and was sent to Ephesus, for Timothy was living in that city at this time. Enduring All Things "Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." Timothy is not to be strotK* in his own st-engt' , he is not charged to be self-rtliant lie is to realize his own weakness and draw upon 'The grace that is in Christ Jesus. "And the things which thou hast heard from me anions many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." Is it not a beautiful trait in Pal's character, that in the hour when martyrdom was near he was concerned not about himself, hut about the continuance of the Word and the Kingdom of Christ. Soldier of Christ • 'Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier." As soldiers of Jesus Christ we are to endure even unto the end and as we endure so we become strong, hardened, able to face anything. Even as soldiers going into battle, the Christian warfare demands our entire thought and attention. Our supreme aim must be to please our Heavenly Captain in all things. Christ, The Sinless Sufferer "Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel: wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is NEW FLAG OF. ROYAL CANADIAN ARMY CADET'S The new flag of the Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, shown above, ts of white silk representing the white field of Canada, with fringe, cord and tassels of red and white, the authorized Canadian colors. The size is the same as approved for Canadian infantry. In the centre is the official Royal Canadian Army Cadets red maple leaf, with the title "R.C.A.F." superimposed thereon, surmounted by the Imperial Crown. Directly below the maple leaf and polled inwards is the scroll in gold, with the Cadet motto "Acer Acerpori". (As the Maple, So the Sapling) in green. Below the scroll is the number of the Cadet Corps in black Arabic numerals. ' not bound." Christ has not only endured every kind of suffering, including its extreme form, death, but He has conquered it all by rising again. He is not only the sinless sufferer, but also the triumphant Victor over death and hell. "Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory." Paul endured many things that thousands of sin-enslaved men and women in The Roman Empire should obtain salvation by Jesus Christ. Promise To Sinners "Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us." This verse affirms the eternal fact of His life, His indissoluble resurrection -- life, as the secret find strength of the life of His believing followers. It looks upward and onward to His everlasting reign in glory, and to the promise that the sinners He has saved shall actually share that glory with Him. Proof of Ministry "But be Thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry." Timothy was ever to be vigilant and sober. He would have need to watch in all things, and especially to watch his own ual life. No opportunit lost in preaching the glad tidings of the Gospel. As Timothy became an example to his flock, and his ministry was profitable to the conversion of sinners, so would he give full proof of his ministry. Ready to Depart "For I am already being offered and the time of my departure is come". Paul feels The hour of his martyrdom has come. The shedding of his blood was to be an offer- QUEEN MEETS A TREE' TALKING Hi .... _ human being, flaged British sniper stands at attention, as Quet with him during inspection tour of airborne unit is King George. heavily Elizabeth chats Behind queen ing poured out like wine upon the altar.

Paul further impresses the fact that his earthly career is ended: and he refers to that career, not merely to express his rightful satisfaction, but to encourage Timothy to follow his example. Then as Paul turns from the past to the future, he does so with the confidence of a victor and with the assurance of one who knows he has merited an award.
