Ld RE -- Austerity In Life Of British People But Health of Britons Better Than Ever Before From the beginning of the war until the end of February wartime administrative officials of the Brit. ish Government had issuell 8,198 regulations concerning trade from mahufacturer or.producer to con- sumer, says The Stratford Beacon- Herald. Of these, nearly 1,500 related to grocers and. cafe oper- ators. The Ministry of Food has published thousands of hints on raising vegetables and cooking foods so as to get the most nour- ishment out of them and to avoid waste. The once lowly potato is today a king. The ministry has a little cartoon figure called "Potato Pete" who urges people to shift from bread to potatoes. There are scores of potato recipes, and po- tato flour is used wherever pos- sible. But the health of the peo- ple, despite the terrors and anxi- elies of being in the front line, is better than it ever was. Fuel Doled Out People are put on their honor not to use more than five inches of water when taking a bath, Fuel 48 doled out carfully, and members of committees in the Houses of Parliament have sat in committee rooms _ with automobile rugs If a Britisher's house has been bombed he is not allowed to spend more than §400 on making it, or part of it habitable. . If it is not habitable the authorities find some place for the family to live. Givil- [dans have now only one color of paint for their use. It is of the "battleship gray" type and is for preservation purposes, not for decoration; Scarcity of material has peculiar results. Ballet shoes are hard to get because they were stuck together with -paste made from maize, and maize is classi- fied as a food. Wigs were made. from hair impoyted from the Balk-} ans, and the movie producers now had only makeup the actors [nearest the camerai - Paper Scraps Saved It is an offence to throw away even the smallest piece wf paper. Cigarette cartons must be handed in when cigareftes are bought. Not : even a hus ticket may be discard-s ed. Enveloped are addressed in pencil and| used over and over again, and when it cannot be used any more it is put aside for salv- age. One man and his: son -at school have used the same en- velope 37 times. t The war has brought home to tho public the enormous amount of waste in days gone by. Salvage increased in the third year of the war by 83 per cent. over the first year. Last year enough metals of all kinds were salvaged to bujld five battles and thico-crulsers; enough textile materials to out. fit one million soldiers with battle dress, overcoats and with blankets, and: Kitghen waste to feed 180,000 pigs from Dbidth to bacon time. Princess Elizabeth Is Studying Hard Pilot Elizabeth, who will be ~ 17 years old April 21, is studying #0 hard that practically all her 'time is devoted to lessons, History gets first place in her studies. She is poring over in- ternational as well as English his- tory, with particular attention to the British Empire and to the development of the dominions. Land tenure and the history of British agrciulture are other spe- cial studies, Princess Elizabeth reads and writes French well and speaks it {luently with a good accent and there is a rule that at least once a week only French is spoken at meal time. It was decided at the outbreak of the war that the prin- cess would continue to study Ger- man and she is fluent in that language also. : With her sister, Princess Mar- garet, the heir fo the throne takes dancing, music and singing les- sons, and the sisters play duets at the piano and sing together in old English part songs. Scottish reels and figure dances are taught the princesses by the King's pipe major. gficrinense lessons are also im- "po nt in the royal school time- . table, the canon of St. George's J Chapel at Windsor, instructing the princesses in this hubiect,, hae ¥ Lake Freighters ; | Will Be Armed Lake freighters which operate in the Gulf of St. Lawrence or in the St. Lawrence River below the * Baguenay as well .as on the Great Lakes, will be armed this season, a navy spokesman sald last week.

The baths are fed by natural mineral springs whose waters maintain a a What sort of music do farmers over the radio? Lots of people will get a surprise when we tell them that a company contem- plating a radio programme recent ly sent out a questionnaire to dis- cover whit type of entertainment was enjoyed most. in rural On- tario. What was the answer? , , Was it hillbilly musi€¢? No sir. . it was light classics, Gilbert and Sullivan and the modern musical comedies had the first préference. The hillbilly stuff was way down the list. Another thing that rural families enjoy, as revealed by the survey, is.the type of dramatic presentation known as 'the thril- ler" Farm listeners apparently have a very keen appreciation of any kind of radio drama. * * » And here's another surprise. Do the boys in the Armed Forces en- joy only popular music? It doesn't look like it. Recently station CFRB received a letter from one of the training centres of the Royal Canadian Air Force. In it the writer asked if it would be possible for the Station to loan hig school a number of recordings of symphonic orchestras. Remark- ing that many of the boys at } Training Centre were very tived of the quantity of popular music which came over the air, he sug- gested that either the Station should include more programmes of classical music, or alternative- ly, loan some of the symphonic + transcriptions , in its Recording Library to the Training School. [' Airmen would thereby be able to play the records for the enter- tainment of those who enjoyed 'the better class of music. * * B Still on the subject of musical preference, some time ago a far- mer in the United States tried the experiment of turning on a radio in his barn at milking time. He claimed that as a result of the experiment, he was convinced that hiscows gave a larger quan- --tity of -mitki -- It scems also that -- human beings can be persuaded to greater war production by the assistance of suitable melodies. A request was made recently by a large war plant that.radio stations should feed musical programmes by a loud speaker system through- out various branches of the fac- -tory. For two weeks at certain intervals throughout the day and night musical radio broadcasts were fed to sections of the war plant in question. At the end of the period comparisons were made and it was definitely established that the music had kept the work- ers brighter, more cheery towards the end of their working day. At present, experiments are heing made to find out 'what music is best suited to various war time industrial operations and to the type of workers who perform them, i. ; Ld - » "If it's broken, we fix it", , . that's the motto of Crosstown Service. And what, you are; prob- ably asking, is the Crosstown Ser- vice? Well, it's the name of ra- dio's newest entertainment ser- vice . . . a brand new series of broadcasts of interest to rural folk. Crosstown' Service will hit the Ontario airwaves over CFRB commencing on May dth at 6 _o'clock and will be heard every Tuesday and Thursday evening at that time thereafter. You'll know you are in for some hearty laughs when you know the names of the writers, none other than Wood- house and Hawkins, And you can also be sure of some real drama- tic interludes too because K. and E.

That box of matches, sent ille- gally, if thoughtlessly, through the mails, would have done the work of a German torpedo from under-sea, a German bomb from the sky, or one' secretly-placed aboard ship. Kaiser Plans Huge New Cargo Plane A. gigantic cargo plane capable of flying almost three-fourths of the way around the world without stopping is the latest Henry J. Kaiser scheme, The United States' No.,1 ship builder, now entering the airplane field, said recently his engineers are drawing up plans for such a plane, and it could be in produc- tion before the war ends. It is conceived as a 282-foot fly- Ing wing, without body, without tail. Four engines developing 8,000 horsepower would power the craft. Fully loadeq, it would weigh 175,000 pounds. "Loaded with only. fuel, it will be able to fly 17,000 miles without stopping," Kaiser said. "Loaded with fuel and bombs, it can bring to Tokyo the havoe and destruction that were visited on Pearl Harbor. . . . I want to build it for the future, but I want to start building it now for war. I intend .to build now, while the war is still ragive," Koiser de claved.

PETER AND JOHN LEADERS IN THE EARLY CHURCH Acts 2:37-41; 3:1.8; 4:ilo, 18-21 GOLDEN TEXT. --~ Now when they beheld the baldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and took knowledge of them, that they Acts 4:13, Memory Verse: We. , , are 2 Corinthians 1:24, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--Ventecost oceured May 28, A.D. 30. The healing of the lame man at the Temple occurred a few weeks later. Exactly when Peter and John were arrested, and brought before the Sanhedrin, we cannot specifically say. It may have been late in AD. 30, or carly A.D. 31. Placey---Jerusalem, and, in part, the Temple. Peter's Instructions "Now. when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we-do? And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Bap- tism follows belief, and certainly is not a saving ordinance. Only faith can save us, Baptism is a sign of the washing away of our public acknowledgment that we are henceforth to be iden- tified with Jesus Christ, an ex- ternal rite symbolizing our being identified with the body of Christ. God's Promise "For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call to him." Peter knew from the beginning that the Gentiles were to be ad-' mitted to the same privileges as Jstacl, But Christ's commission said that they were to preach first in Jerusalem" and Judea. Peter's Admonition "And with many thy words he "testified, and exhorted them, saying, save yourselves from this What Peter here meant was that these people should accept the Lord Jesus be saved from the doom which was to fall upon Isracl because of its rejection of Christ, climaxing in the destruction of the city of Jerusalem some forty years later. "They then that received this word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls." The number need cause no surprise, Many of these new converts may have been in a sense believers already, but had been restrained they . Christ as their Saviour, and thus p | from His own personality and in His own power, His disciples effected cures by speaking in His name. Peter's words are typical of the spirit which should ever animate the Christian preacher or teacher, They turn the attention of his hearers wholly away from themselves and exalt Jesus Christ "alone. The Apostles': Boldness "Now when they belield the -holdness--of -Peter-and John, and had perceived that" "they were unlearned and ignorant men, they 'marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. And they called them, and chavged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus." This has been the experience of the Church in different parts of the world in every age. Leaders of false religions have attempted to stop the mouths of those who were bringing in light and truth, love and redemption. The Christian Conscience "But Peter and John answered and 'said unto them, whether Sit is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye: for Wwe can- not but speak the things which we saw and heard. And. they, when they had further "threat- ened them, let them po, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all "men glorified God for that which was done." In this first conflict between the Church and earthly authority, they assert a great principle--that the Chuis- tian conscience is the supreme court of appeal. The answer of Bunyan, when imprisoned, and forbidden to preach was, 'I am at 8 point with you. If I were out 'of prison "again to-day | would preach the gospel again to-morrow, by the help of God.'
