> mh ... = Reporter Hero Of U.S.S. Lexington 8aved Many Lives As Big Carrier Was Abandoned Reporter Stanley Johnston did a fine job of reporting the Battle of the Coral Sea, says one of his ehipmates aboard the U.8.8. Lex- ington, but neglected to tell the Jderole part he himself played in the final hours of the big alrcraft earrler, a Lieutenant-Commander . Weldon 0. Hamilton, squadron leader who first sighted the Japanese carrler Ryumkaku and planted the first bomb in the middle of its broad fight deck, reported that Johnston, Chicago Tribune correspondent, and only reporter aboard, was one of the real heroes of the Lexing- ton. The commander's own part fn" the battle was sidetracked In an interview until' he told of the newsman's extra-curricular activi- ties. * "Johnston never did rescue the notes and news diaries he was worrying so much about," Hamil-. tos recalled. "When I got back to the Lexington she was badly crip- pled by torpedoes and bombs, One of the first men 1 saw was John- aton. 1 told him briefly of the action as I had seen it, "Soon it became apparent the Lexington was In a bad way and Johnston went below decks for his papers and personal effects, He came up a little later, but didn't have any diarles, He was lugging a badly wounded séaman. He dashed down again, still after his notes. Pretty soon he retyrned, carrylng another injured man. "I don't know how many times he repeated his performance, Hvery timo he insisted he was go- ing after his stuff, and every time he came back with a wounded or burned sailor. He risked hls life {tme and again." : . . » When orders camo to abandon ship, the flight command was told to go aboard a nearby destroyer, along with the wounded. The rest of the crew was to go overside later. "Johnston asked what he was supposed to do," Hamilton chuck- led. "I told him to cable his editor for instructions." What Johnston actually did, Hamilton sald; "was to go overside with the last remaining seamen, and swim to the destroyer through an oll-coated choppy sea. Government Gets Buckthorn Supply Plants of Vital Use In Manu- facture of Explosives A hired man who ate strange berries, a request by the Depart- ment of Munitions and Supplies for byckthorn vital in explosive manufacture and the good memory of 16-year-old Dorothy Knapp, Galt Collegiate student, has brought her father a neat nest egg of bitter than $3,700, sent _fifty- three tons of the buckthorn to mu- nitions plants and may bring dis aster to a Nazl submarine or two or a Rhineland arms factory. More than a year ago, the de- "partment made the request and a 'department official visited the collegiate dieplaying a piece of buckthorn to give the somo Idea what to look for. "Oh!" said excited Dorothy, "we've "got some of that on our farm. ° I ~ . charges, remember the hired man, Mike Miller, ate some of the berrles once and we wondered what was going to happen to him. Nothing dia." J Dorothy went home and related the story of the department's re- quest. Her dad, J. 8. Knapp, con- tacted the department. The depart- ment named ita price, Knapp hired district men fo cut the buckthorn, All this was done secretely. The Knapps kept every one away from the bush. Only official photo- graphs were taken. The secrecy has been lifted now, as Knapp's bush has been cleared of the bucktnorn, : Buckthorn "of this particular type, rhamnus frangula, is used for - fuses on time bombs and depth Only two other stands of it are known in Western On- *tarlo. . - Lack Of Courtesy Blamed On War A lot of people have lapsed into small lacks of- courtesy and blaming it all on the war, says Adelaide Kerr, writing on "Com. mon Courtesy", Too busy, with war work and problems, they say, to get this or that done, ot Better check up on yourself and sce whether the shoe fits you, .

Genesis 4 PRINTED TEXT CE 'Genesis 4:1-185 ) ~ GOLDEN TEXT, -- By faith, "Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, ~ through which he had "witness borne: to him .that he waa right. eous, Hebrews 11:4, THE LESSON 'IN ITS SETTING * Time.--We do not know when * these events took place, but at "least it would be 125 years after the creation of man (see Gen, 5:3). Place.--We do not know whete these events took place, though, of course, it was somewhere in the Mesopotamian valley, where civi- lation began, Cain and Abel .1, "And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and "said, 1 have gotten a man with the help of Jehovah, 2(a). And again she bare his brother Abel. 2(b), And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was-a tiller of the ground." The one brother chooses the more peaceful and emotional, the other the more active, occupation, The pastoral life seems always to have been held in higher esteem than the agricultural among the - He- brews, But the agricultural suc- ceeds the pastoral in the order of civilization. 'Two Offerings : 8. "And in process of time It came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an of- fering unto Jehovah. 4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jchovah had respect unto Abel and to his of- fering: 6. but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect." The key for unlocking the means Ing of this entire passage Is found In Hebrews 11:4, where we are told that, 'Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacri- fice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing wit- ress in respect of his gifts; and through it he being dead yet speaketh." What seems to be im- plied is that 'Cain's offering was an act of mere homage; Abel's embodied a sense of sin, an act of contrition, a plea for pardon. Cain's Anger 5(b). "And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell." We have here no spirit of enquiry, no self-examination, no prayer to God for light or pardon, clearly - showing that Cain was far from a right state of mind, 6. "And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7. If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee shall be its desire; hut do thou rule over it." This dread warning to Cain, expressed in the mildest and plainest terms, is a standing lesson written for the learning of all mankind. Let him who is in the wrong retract at once, and return to God with humble acknowledgment of his own guilt, and unreserved sub- mission to the mercy of his Maker; for to him who perseveres in sin there can be no hope or help. TN The First Murder 8. "And Cain told Abel. And it came to pass, when they were In the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." One of the striking fea tures of this incident is the rapidity with whick small sins gen- erate great ones, When Cain went in the joy of harvest and offered his first fruits no thought could be further from his mind than murder. It may have come as suddenly on himself as on the unsuspecting Abel, but the germ was in him, Familiarity with evi thought ripens us for evil action; and a moment of passion, an hoitr's loss of self-control, a tempting occasion may hurry us into irremediable evil, The Divine Interrogation - 9(a). "And Jehovah said unto - Cain, where is Abel thy brother?" Here is a question fitted to go straight to the murderer's con- science, Some of us go so far as to have silenced the voice within; but, for the most part, it speaks Ipediaidy after we have grati- fied our inclinations wrongly, 9(b). "And he said, 1 know not:- am I my brother's keeper? And he said, what hast thou done? tho(¥oice of thy brother's blood erieth unto me from the ground." The cry was a demand for the punishment of the murderer.

And Jchovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him Anyone who killed Cain would be visitéd more soverely than Cain as being guilty not alone of homicide, but of transgressing the divine command- ment which said that Cain was to live.

Germans Plan To Exterminate Jews The Germans have massacred at least 1,000,000 Jews in Europe since the war began, spokesmen for the World Jewish Congress said recently, The persecution has been par- ticularly severe in the eonquered countries of Fast Europe, the spokesmen added. Poland, Lat: via, Lithuania and Rumania have suffered greatly, They said that probably 700, 000 Jews had been killed in Lith. uania and Poland, 125,000 in Ru. . mania, 200,000 in Russia and 100,000 in the rest of Europe, These victims were selected from Europe's pre-war Jewish popula- tion of 6,000,000 to 7,000,000. The slaughter is part of the 'Nazis' proclaimed * policy that "physical extermination of the Jew must from now on be the aim of Germany and her allies", the spokesmen said, Norse In Red Army Nearly 600 Norwegian volun. teers, who escaped through Fin- land and over the sea to Russia, are fighting with Soviet army on the Arctic front, the BBC quoted the Norwegian Telegraph Agency as saying recently, Scouting ton (Middlesex) Wolf Cub pack gathered in nearly $250 for the local Warship Week by showing In the foyer of a movie theatre a miniature model representation of a Nazi attack on a convoy.

Whitelaw. in a recent letter to Mr. John A, Stiles, Executive Chief Commissioner ot sociation, "The development of character, - cour age and sense of 'responsibility produced through your "lectures and practical application of wood- craft, camping, swimming, navi. gation and handicrafts of various sorts, all add up to a total which makes the Boy Scout stand out far ahead' of the average boy who hag not had the advantage ol this training." * «0» Splendid service was given by the Boy Scouts of Norwich, Eng.

They ran messages, fought incendiary bombs, rendered first aid, and assisted in countless other ways, After the blitz, they distributea special notices to the population, guided people to rest centres, re- united families, and for inquiring soldiers and sailors secured infor- mation of families in wrecked arcas. They salvaged and removed the furniture by vans and Scout trek- carts, helped at emergency food centres, and prepared meals over fires in open spaces. They: as- sisted with feeding arrangements for police, firemen and rescue workers from outside places, and guided the helpers to desired points. In addition, they looked after hundreds of injured dogs and cats, Incidentally several of the Scout troops lost their own .neeting places and all their scout- {ing equipment, One troop lost out-of-town headquarters; a build- _ing of concrete and wood built entirely by the boys over a period of several years.
