-- Pilots Warm They're Thoroughly Protest. ed From Zero Weather, All But Their Hands * When - the mercury plummets and you shiver on a street corn. ery find a little consolation by thinking of young Royal Canadian' Air Force pilots training in open cogkpit planes in the wintry skies, But don't pity them too much for here's what a pilot wears to combat the 25 and 30 below zero weather found a few thousand feet in the air: One or two suits of underwear, a couple of sweaters, several pairs of socks, a huge green scarf that looks like a pony blanket, a fur flying suit topped with a felt-lined canvas flying suit. All Zippered-Up The whole grotesque outfit zip. pers up and: the pilot waddles around looking like a man from Mars, his parachute bobbing be. hind him, - His feet are encased in fleece- lined snowpacks and a flying hel. met: with heavy ear lugs covers his head. Sometimés a chamois mask-is wory over the face. The PbS has yet to solve the problem of cold hands. Only one pair of gloves is worn most of the time to keep hands sensi. tive to the control stick, That's where old man town.

Sunday School Lesson i # LESSON VI THE PERILS OF REJECTING CHRIST Matthew 21:17--22:14 Printed Text, Matt. 21:28-43 Golden Text -- "| am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- The, cursing of the fig- tree took place previous to the cleansing of the temple, on Monday of Passion Week, April 3. The re- " 'marks concerning the withered fig- tree, and all other teachings re- corded in this lesson belong to the following day, Tuesday, April 4th, Place -- The withered fig-troe was, of course, standing on the Mount of Olives. _ All the other teachings and words of our Lord in this lesson were uttered in the temple at Jerusalem, 'The cursing of the fig-troe by our Lord in thig lesson Is intended to be a symbol of the coming judg-- ment upon Israel. Finding no. fruit -the tree proving Itself to have fail ed In the purpose for which it was grown, Jesus declared that no fruit should' grow upon it from hence: forth forever. The tree was. false also, because its full-grown leaves promised fruit, This fact suggests the falseness of Israel in that day (outward religious forms without spiritual fruit). : Unbelief Condemned Matt.- 21:28. But what think ye? The chief priests and elders have been demanding that Jesus declare the source of his authority. A man had-two sons; and he cams lo the "first; and sald, Son, go work today in the vineyard. 29. Ahd he answer- ed and-said, 1 will not.' But after ward he. repented himself and he went. 30.' And he came to the se- cond, and said likewise. And he answored 'and said, | go, sir: and went not. The second son Is like to the scribes and Pharisees who pro- fessed zeal for the law. 31. Which "ofitfie two did the will-ot his fath: _er? They say, the first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily | say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go fulo the kingdom of God before you, The application here is to the Jewish rulers and outwardly. cor rect persons 'who were farther away from the kingdom of God, than "were-the moral scum ot so- --cfety. 32. For John came unto you io the way of righteousness, and ye' believed him' not. Conspicuous in the life and 'teaching. of John the - Baptist had been the "righteous- ness" .that the Pharisees them; delves recognized, -- almsgiviog,, fasting, and prayer. But the publi cans and 'the harlots believed him. And ye, when ye saw (t, did not evon repent yourselves afterward, - that ye might belleve him, The hardest man: in the world to win to Christ is the .religious man, who "|. has regularly gone to church, who reads good books, gives to every © worthy 'cause, Is externally morals © ly goody < The Wicked - Husbandnién 33, Hear another. parablé: There was a man that was a householder; who planted a vineyard. and set'a hedge about it, and digged a wine. 'press in it, and built a tower, and . lot it out to husbandrien, and went into. another country, The imagery ' "inthis parable js taken from Isa. 6:2, where the vineyard represents Israel, 34, And when the season ot the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to re- colve his fruits; 35. And the hus. pandmen fook his servants, and beat one, and, killed another, and stoned another, 36. Again he sent "other servants more than the first; and they did unto thém in like man. ner, (These servants were tho pro- ~sphetd. of' Terael, whose office was ~ 3 not only to foretell, but to plead tor obedience, and trust, the fruits sought by God. The whole history 'of the Jewish natlon fs summed up in this dark picture). -His Beloved Son 37. But afterward he sent uato them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. In the sending of his own Son by the heavenly Father Is the last and crowning ef fort of dlvine mercy. 38. But the- husbandmen, when they saw the son, sald among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance. 39." And they took him, and cast him forth "out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40. When therefore the Jord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41. They say unto him, Ho will miser- ably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the viteyard unto _ other husbandmen, who shall ren- der him the fruits in their seasons. The men who put to the death the vineyard owner's son had foolishly failed to reckon on the wrath of the vineyard;owner himself and the in: evitable - punishment which he would mete out to them for ninrder- ing the heir. The Jews thought that by getting rid of .the Lord Je sus they would put an end to his popularity, to the devotion that was belng offered to him by do in: creasing number of people. 42, Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read In the sériptures, "The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head ol- the corner. This was from the Lord, And it is mafrvellous in our eyes"? The religious leaders of the Jews did not recognizo in Christ their promised Messiah, 43. There fore say [ unto you, The kingdom of (od shall be taken away (rom you, and shall be given to a nation bring forth the 'fruits thereof.

MacKenzie, Division of Ani- mal Husbandry, Central Experl- mental Farm, Ottawa, points out that~in winter feeding for milk production, a supply of good hay, silage or roots, or both; a suitable meal mixture, a mineral supple- ment, salt, and water are requir ed, The most suitable kind of hay for milking cows is alfalfa, follow- ever, should contain a large propor- tion of alfalfa or clover. Timothy hay is decidedly inferior for milk production. The quality of tho hay used for milking cows is just, as important 'as the kind of hay. It should bo cut early, well cured, bright and clean, Silage or roots should be provid- ed for winter feeding if at all pos- sible. DUCKS FOR MARKET Growing ducks for market 1s a specialized side line in poultry Both Imports; -- Exports Rise Canadian Figures Show Big In. creases for Last Part of Year 1939 The value of Canada's imports increased by $21,257,000 during last Novembér compaved with the corresponding month of 1938 as all nine broad classifications of imports recorded gains, the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics re. ports, November imports amount. ed to $84,661,000 compared with $63,301,000, While the mcrease occurred _ chiefly as a result of heavier pur- chases abroad of textiles and pro- ducts, fibres, iron and products, non-ferrous metal products and non-metallic: mineral 'products, small gains also were shown in ag- ricultural and vegetable products, chemicals and allied products and miscellaneous commodities. HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF WHEAT Heavy shipments of wheat ac- counted for about half of the in- crease of $32,136,685 in the value of Canada's domestic exports dur- with many poultrymen and farm- ers, especially those near large towns and cities. Profits received for money Invested are very attrac- tive, and the turnover fs rapid. Considerable experimental work with different varieties of ducks, -and the use of different feeds fed in different ways have been carried on at the Experimental' Farm in Ottawa, states A. G.- Taylor, Poul- try Division. A brief summary of results obtained would indicate that ducklings of the Pekin breed make the best gains with the least _ amount of feed. When proper.y handled, ducklings of this bread make one pound gain in weight on 3.5 to 4 pounds of feed consumed. They can be developed to market age in about ten weeks timo when fed on a mixture of equal parts of cornmeal, shorts and bran, with ten per cent. beef meal added. it . is a good plan to add about one per cont, fine salt to the mash, Mix thoroughly in its dry state-be- fore using. ) : Frequent feeding promotes vapid growth, Feed six tim. daily from the start until the ducklings are three weeks old, and five 'mes daily until they ave realy for mar- ket. aT. RADIO AND. "rom statistics made in a recent survey of types of programs on the air, it would seem that drama has jumped into the lead, and that 'variety is sinking to a low.ebb. A situ- ation, however, deads one to be- lieve that such is not really the case. Variety shows like the Chase and Sanborn Hour, Good News, Jack Benny and the Kraft Music Hall are still drawing their full quota of listeners. 3 oF NEW PROGRAMS There are more new prigrams in the offing.
