The gatekeeper touches his hat to him, It is the Hon. Gerald Lascelles, Viyearold younger son of the Princess Royal and Lord Hare wood and nephew of the King. He works nine hours a day at 'a North-East munitions factory. It is a long way from Harewood . House, 50 he has to start very early in 'the morning, and 161s Jate when he gets home. . He has been an apprentice in an engineering shop for some time. . . . "mate" Once he was to the more adyanced . workers, running. errands and cleaning up. Since then he has worked, stripped to the waist, at the furnaces and done various other jobs. Now he operates a "turning and cutting machine, It is his own choice of war work before going into the army in Nov- ember, when he will be 18. He plans to join the Rifle Brigade. Hia elder brother, Viscount La- celles, is In the Grenadler Guards. The: Hon. Gerald Lascelles takes his meals in the factory canteen. Recently he arrlved home much later than usual. When all the other workers had gone he and the foreman put in two hours' overtime unloading steel billets from a lorry so that production would not be delayed. . +. + 9 He revealed recently that on a visit to the factory his mother stopped near his machine, and, as she had asked other workers, wanted to know how he 'was en- . joying-his job. "I told my mother I was having a splendid time", he. said. "And I am enjoying every minute of {t." Girls in the factory vote the Hon. Gerald Lascelles, who earns less than £2 a week, "a real nice lad". His foreman, Walter Brad- ley, says: "He has always been willing to take on an extra job. He 1s treated just like any other worker." One Million More Sheep For Canada Government's Sheep Expan- slan Campaign Appears _ Assured One million more sheep and 7,000,000 pounds additional wool production appeared assured for Canada next year as a slurdy slap to enemies who seek to cut oft essential supplies reaching the Do- James A. Telfer, assistant chlet of the Agriculture Department Production Services and in charge of sheep and wool production, states he believes the sheep ex- pansion campaign launched by the Dominion Government and the provinces early this year would succeed. At Dec, 1 last there were 2,824, B00 sheep In. Canada. After the" Spring lambing season this total had been' increased by about 80 percent. Reports of sheep market- ings received by the Agriculture Department indicated that farm. era had responded to the Govern; ment suggestion to hold their ewd lambs to increase their flocks. "It certainly appears as it we will have 4,000,000 sheep -- a record number -- for shearing in 1943", said Mr. Telfer. "The farm- ers have done a good job, If they continue to maintain thelr flocks, a sheep population of 5,500,000 is possible in 1944, ' England's Best Market Gardener Frederick A.

Ecclesiastes 10: 17; Amos 6&1 21-24; Romans 14: 19-21; 2 Co- rinthlans 6: 17; 1 Peter 4: 15. GOLDEN TEXT.--Let Justice roll down as waters, and righteous néss as a mighty stream.--Amos §; 24, . : THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time~--The book of Ecclesiastes may have been written about 978 "B.C. Amos prophesied about' 780 to 786 B.C. The Second Bpistle to the Corinthians, and the'First Ep- iistle of Peter, were both written about A.D. 60. ' Place.--Eccleslastes may have been written in the city of Jerus- alem, Amos was a prophet to the northern city of Israel. Tho Epistle To The Romans was written from the city of Corinth. The 8 d Bplstle to the Corinthians was probably written from the city of Philllpl. We do not know where the Apostle Peter was when he wrote his First Epistle, Dally Righteousness 21. "I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight In your solemn assemblies. 22, Yea, though ye offer me your burntofferings and meal-offerings, I will not ac- cept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts. 23. Take thou away from me the nolse of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 24. But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream." The Lord said He simply despised their feast 'days, and would not receive the sweet- smelling savour of thelr sacrifices, nor have any regard for their peace offerings. These sacrifices were all right In thelr place, but they wero worthless if those offering them chose to W¥e In constant disobedience to the :daws of holi- ness. It ls so easy to substitute ritual for righteousness, The ritual 38 soon finished, but righteausness Ja something that should mark every aspect of our life, every day of our life. I "Abuse of Liberty 19. "So then let us follow after, things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another. 20, Overthrow not for meat"s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbelt it 18 evil for that man who eatcth with offence. 21, It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy broth. er stumbleth." The Apostle has been talking in this chapter about the love which Christians ought to- have for one another and the fruits of such a love, namely an avoid- ance of judgment of others, and especially a strong determination not to do anything, even in the matter of eating and drinking, which would cause their Christian 'brethren -to--stumble:--Any--use- of Christian liberty which disregards the damaging effect it may- pro- duce upon a Weak brother <is a bad use. How such eating may prove a stumbling-block 18 not sald but we certainly can hurt others by what we- drink, npmely, intoxicating beverages. We have liberty for doing this, but we should not use this liberty, because in so doing, we are liable to lead a weaker brother, who looks up to us for guidance,into bondage in these things. God's Assurance 17. "Wherefore come ye out from among them, and be ye sep- arate, said the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; and I will recelve you." This separation from the world, was not to be physical and Jocal and" social, but moral and spiritual. These Corinthians were not to migrate to other citles, but to keep free from the intimacies and fellowships which might ally them with idolatry; and today Ohristians are to live In the world, while they are not of the world, They llve among their fellow men in close relationships: yet all the while they belong to another sphere of life. But this separation does not mean lonellness or loss, It results In a divine companlion- ship which is more than compen- sation for all that the world offers. Buch was the promise to Uod's people of old, and such is the as- surance made to his servants to- day. g 1, "Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye your- selves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin." Let us refuse the lawless strivings ot self. It will n resolution and determination, But victory is sure, And though there will be no ces- sation in the temptation, there will be cessation In the ylelding to. ft, which is sin. In time the bodily desires, long thwarted, will glve Joas and less trouble. Excess Of Wine 2, "That ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the wil of God." Ia Excess of wine is closely con: neoted with abominable Idolatries, Is not any use of wine exceesive, fnless it be taken for some very distinct purpose of health, pres scribed by medical authority--and, even then, often mistakenly. A British woman war worker chalks a warlike message on the gun of a Covenanter tank, brought to the Tagery where she works 'l to show workers how the equipment they make machines, used in fighting 8. "For the tlme past may suf- fice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walk- ed in lasctviousnesy, lusts, wine- bibbings, revellings; carousings, and abominable idolatrles: 4. wherein they think it strange that yo run not with them into the same excess of rlot, speaking evil of you", The attitude of worldly people wasting thelr lives In rlot- ous llving toward Christlans who utterly spurn such orgies of In. fquity is the same today a. It was when the Apostle Peter wrote, 1900 years ago. A man who refuses to drink with a number of other men on a train, or in a restaurant, may often have to stand ridicule. Chris- tlan people who make it known that they do not gamble may have to be thought of as strange. We, by our salvation, have been sep- arated - from = worldlinoss, ~ which leads down' to destruction, and know a path of rightcousness, the fruit of which 18 a joy, and peace, and increasing strength, and un- righteousness of conduct, which the world has never known, out- slide of union with Jesus Christ, There wlll come a time when we will just have to make a definite declslon in our own life, whether ~ we are golng the way the world goes, or the way the Lord leads. The "wages of one Is dislllusion- ment, and death, whereas the fruit of the other is holiness, and peace, and eternal lifo, Judgment. Awaits 8. "Who shall give account to him that Is ready to judge the living and the dead." Judgment awaits men on the other side-of death--the judgment seat of Christ rewards, and the final judgment of the ungodly: but It 1s also true that we are now In the presence of our Judge. IRWIN ) A MAURICE A Weekly Column About This and That in Our Canadian Army & tis Quit a few weeks now since I was urgently chided by an editor for getting too personal about the Reserve Army, but it can't have been too bad because he published the article anyway. It you give a columnist an inch he always takes the proverbial ell, 80 here goes a little more about the men who are training them- selves for home defence, What brought the whole thing up was a suggestion made before the parade was dismissed the other night by tho colonel that the best way to bring the regiment up to strength would be for every mem- ber to bring in one recruit. This suggestion appealed so strongly to a private soldior in one of the companies that he turned over to the battalion for recruiting pur- poses 600 agate lines of space which would otherwise have been devoted to advertising his own business during the month of September, Another incident worth mention- ing is the case of a private soldier who spent 14 days with us at camp. For this he drow pay at the rate of $1.20 per day and when his cheque was handed to him he bor- rowed a pen from hls company commander and endorsed It over to the colonel with the message " that there were no strings attach- ed. In due course the Ladles' Aux- Mllary of our active service unit acknowledged to the soldier a con- tribution of $16.80 to its wool fund. both the private soldlers referred to are Jews. You can't help belng personal about a Reserve Army which is looked upon as so personal an in- stitution gs. 1s illustrated by the two cases I have mentioned. Both of these men are of categories that do not fit them for active service, both own their own businesses--- they train In thelr own time and -no_generous employer makes them a present of two weeks' holiday in which to go to camp. These men are not unique, in they are servo Army as it 18 now consti. tuted. - soldier of today his unit Is a per- sonal thing, ®t Is something to which he devotes not just the after-work hours two and 14 days at camp, but a good many minutes of fun time during the day. every man who, though he may " be working hard at a war job, puts in these extra hours in training for the eventuality of attack upon LISTEN TO "COUNTRY NEWS" ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ONTARIO WEEKLY .

It obviously fell down badly so far as Russia was concerned--and his own intelll- gence should have told him what to expect from the Yugoslavs! A few years before the outbreak of war in 1914 a melodrama was produced in England under the title "An Englishman's Home." This play demonstrated with ter. rific stage effects aud blood and death what happens when untrain. ed citizons attempt to defend their homes against fully trained Invad- ers. If the lesson of this play had been learned and peaceful peoples had been prepared undoubtedly the 1014-1919 war would have been shorter and this one might not have occurred, It is not only for the warlike arts that we should prepare our- selves In peacetime, there are many peaceful arts that become not only virtues but stern necessities In time of war. The first of these, beyond doubt, is defence against inflation. It can the more rapidly become successful if, like military training, it has been. carried on during the softer years of peace. We were unprepared on both «cpunts, and on both counts the Individual" Citizen's Army was re- sponsible. We found that we had more pennies In our pockets for luxuries, if we clected, or allowed to remain in office, politiclans who pared down the budget by failing to provide funds for military train. ing. Having saved those necessary tax pennies we wasted them on unnecessary frills--and now we find it hard to forego those frills. So hard, In fact, have we found ft that we have welcomed the set- ting up of governmenial hoards and commissions to compel us to dls- continue our wasteful practices. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board, one of the many wartime bodies we have created, Is very much in the position of the in- structors of the Resérve Army. We have placed ourselves under it just as volunteers place themselves under thelr sergeants and officers, and we are learning from It just a8 privates in the Reserve Army learn from their Instructors, how to discipline ourselves so that we may becomo fit to meet the rigours of campaigning. ) War Workers Face ~ Problem Of Tires Most industrial war workers are being carried to their jobs in aute- mobiles having tires that will be worn out before next winter Is over, Nearly all the rest must face the same conditions before the end of the following winter. These conclusions are derived from a survey heing conducted in Massachusetts, and apply to con- ditions. found there, but they have much more than merely regional significance. The survey is still under way, and 18 belng conducted by the State Planning Board. Probably its findings are broadly - applicable to hundreds of munl- tlons centers throughout the coun- try. "The percentages of tires of the war workers that are expected to remain In service each month are as follows: It 1s estimated that one quarter of them will be worn out and unusuable by the end of this month, that half of them will be gone hy March, that less than 20 percent of them will last through next year, and that by June of 1943 only two or three percent of the tires will still sur- vive In service. These figures are based on data covering only seven localities, but there 18 so much similarity fn the figures for the different plants that it ecems like- ly that they may be falrly repre- sentative of such conditions elge- where. Perhaps the most Important con- clusion at which a reader arrives after studying the situation, is that gasoline rationing can provide only an Inadequate and ineffective solu- tlon for these tire problems.

So, ladies, If those youngsters of yours have an unfortunate habit of getting in @your way around the kitchen just when you're preparing the supper, take them over to the radio at 6 o'clock any day Monday through Friday and you can just about bet dollars to doughnuts that from then on it will be part of the regular routine of the household. Jimmy Allen brings his thrilling and inspiring adventure stories to young Ontario through CFRB To- ronto. There is just one thing. It Junior suddenly starts pester- ing you to get a certain brand of breakfast food, you'll quite un. derstand that he has visions of be- coming another husky, adventur- ous addition of Jimmy Allen him- self. . L] . Another old friend has just re. turned to the airwaves, that per- ennial star of vaudeville, screen and radio, Al Jolson. Assisted by comedian Parkyakarkus, veteran Al started a new series of variety shows over the Columbia Broad- casting System last week. Tues- day is the night, 10 o'clock the time, CFRB is included in the hook-up. Here is a show the ex- treme versatility of which will surely appeal to every member of the houschold. It has good music, a plentiful sprinkling af the ab- surdities and laughs of Parkyakar- kus, while Al Jolson himself with his inimitable style and individual interpretation of the songs most of us know so well rounds out a presentation which as a sparkling nightcap should prepare you for happy dreams, * . . Sineé 1934 when the Lux(Radio Theatre first went on the air, Monday evening has always been regarded as a highlight of radio enthusiasts of the drama. In fact * this top-rating dramatic broadcast now boasts to have an average listening audience of thirty mil- lions. Monday evenings 9 to 10 o'clock has scen an ever increas- ing number of radio sets in operas tion the continent wide, tuned to the 114 Columbia®%tations who carry this popular program. From now on, Monday evening will pro- vide an even greater opportunity than before for lovers of dramatie art to indulge their preference, Immediately following the Lux Radio Theatre will follow a ser- les of plays by the Screen Guild Players, both programmes origin. ating in Hollywood. The sponsor, Lady Esther. ' - Personality of the Week It has been said that some people succeed by what they know, others by what they do, and a few by what they are. The per- sonality behind that friendly fem- Inine voice you hear Monday through Friday mornings 10.30 to 10.46 over CFRB, Mrs, Aitken, succeeds on all three counts, She's slender, sparkling, vivacious, al- ways smiling, and always has something amusing to tell, For many years Mrs. Aitken has brought to her morning listeners Interesting items of home news, international affairs, current books, and happenings around town and country, But Mrs. Ait- ken has many interests outside of radio. Currently she is in charge of all womens' activities associ. ated with the Victory Loan Came paign. It was Mrs. Aitken who "co-ordinated, organized and super- vised the Womens' Section of the Canadian National Exhibition. Most housewives know of her cooking schools, many have at- tended them, One thing you prob- ably don't know is that Mrs, Ait- ken has long instructed a cooking school for boys, yes, boys! Just young "lads gathered from homes in a certain section of downtown Toronto, Every Wed- nesday evening these youngsters learn how to prepare and cook a dinner, and not only that. When the dinner has been cooked, they all sit down and enjoy it, and carry away with them not only the memory of a truly enjoyable meal, but the recipes and instruec- tions to pass along to mother.
