It has not happened here yet, but it may soon.. One of the fav- ourite programmes in Latin-America is one where bashful men propose marriage to their girl friends on a radio programme, It's listening audience is terrific. You probably wonder how the proposer could know the object of his affection is listening in. On enquiring, we found out the Radio Stations put advertisements in the newspapers, listing the names of the people to be proposed to. One of the local producers, will no doubt steal this before long. . hy * * * _Keep Fighting Fit, a new pro- gramme presented by the District Cadet Officer of Military District Number 2, Major C. E. Read, MC, is a new physical training program- ,me which is being heard over a nuniber of Ontario Stations, CKCL Monday thru Saturday, 7.30 am. The programme Keep Fighting Fit 1s as far removed from the old type of physical training as day is from night. Most of you remember when a lad used to sit in the office of an insurance company in New York and go for 'hours. The new army programme conducted by Doc Lind- say, well known radio announcer "who is now a Lieutenant in the army, is strictly. streamlined and with the background of cadets from the Collegiate Institutes, will really to "Keep Fighting Fit." * * * Mr. Vincent Lopez, veteran musical director, was one of the first Network Radio Broadcasts to be brought into Canada.

The Evening Telegram made arrangements with .the National Broadcasting Company to bring some NBC programmes into Cane ada under the Telegram's sponsor- ship, and your columnist was sent to New York to inake the neces sary arrangements, The first NBC programme to be heard in Canada was the broadcast made by the late Ramsey McDonald, who was then Prime Minister ot England. He was in the United States paying a visit to President Hoover and the Telepram obtained this broad, cast for CKGW, which was con- sidered to be "the event" in radio up to that time, ~ Your columnist remembers how gracious Vincent Koper was when We went to see | him to make arrangements to have Ms broadcasts heard in Toronto, weekly, under tne Eevenng Tele- gram's sponsorship, It seems strange now, when I push the but- - over CKCL, ton in my office to hear "Nola" -still being played as a piano solo.

She opened her bag and took out her purse and closed the bag and opened her purse and dropped in the change and closed hér purse and opened her bag and dropped in the purse and closed the bag and found she was two blocks beyond her destination. When The Piper's Bill Is Presented "Social security, and the social services which must provide that security, cost money, vast amounts of it where 'such. projects are na- tional in scope, siys the Hamilton Spectator, In the large, these funds must come from the pockets of the people; they benefit, where de- serving, and consequently, they are expected to pay. Every social ad- vance nieans additional tax levies 'of some kind or other, for that is the price of socialization, If that "eardinal fact is appreciated by those who. press for greater measures of amelioration, then no sense of shock should be experienced when the piper's bill is presented.

The per capita consumption. of butter in 1042 was 33 pounds, well above that before the war, and the 20.6 pound average for 1043 was almost up to the pre-war level. We actually used more per capita last year than before 1939; and there was a lower rate of consumption only in canned fruits, down nearly 30 per cent, and sugar, down from 91 pounds pre-war to 72 pounds last Year, The latter is surprisingly good, considering what has happened to the sources of sugar supply, and the wartime difiicultics of trans portation, coffee * * - Some increase in food consump- tion was to be expected with everyone working full time, and with the payroll of the country higher than ever jn its history. But can Canadians think of the contrast between the appearances of their tables and of those of the people of Britain and occupied Europe, without a desire to share more liberally with those in need? Troops Enjoy All Types Of Leave We are interested in -a clipping from the London Evening Stan- dard telling of what some of the troops are doing with their leaves overseas, Apparently the Home Division of the British Council at- tempts to provide whatever type of leave a man requests -- and the variety is wide indeed. A member of the Belgian para- troop force wanted to study the electrolytic production ef zinc from a concentrate of zinc ore. He was put in touch with an expert on mineral research at the Imperal Institute. Private J. Detynishyn, from Can- ada, wanted to spend his leave painting signs. He was welcomed by a leading firm ot signwriters. A private in the Royal Nether- lands Brigade, who had worked as a buyer at a tobacco leaf factory in Smyrna, wished to visit a tobac- co factory. A visit was arranged, Captain A. J. Brinton, South African Forces, wished to. discuss cross-breeding of fat lambs with an authority on the type of meat re- quired for the English market. He was helped by an expert of the Ministry of Agriculture, Signal L. D, Allen, of the Canadian Army, wanted to spend his nine days' leave on a com- mercial apiary. The manager of a bee farm near Marlborough, Wilt- shire, welconied him as his guest, Pointie-Talkie Helpie Airmen American fliers with the 14th Air Force carry a pointie-talkie, a vis- nal language book.

And another: "If the enemy or puppet troops come, please help conceal me." And stil-another: °° "Please tell the nearest gueril- las or Chinese troops that I am here." . about all, ing going on around Mere? And do you notice that every door in the house opens and shuts at irregular intervals? Very distracting, of course, but I really don't mind, because you see, it is all a means tc an end. Yes, at long last we are having a furnace installed, We came to the condition that a fur- nace would be more economical sind far more satisfactory than our present method of heating the house with three stoves. Did I say heating? That was a misnomer, We keep three stoves going and heat a small area in the immediate vicinity of the stoves and that is Open the hall door and you step into Arctic region, This house, you see, is so arranged that the pipe from only one stove can be carried through to the upstairs, The others go straight into the chimney, Thus "a lot of heat is going to waste . And as for the work, | honestly believe a third of my time is spent making up fites and emptying ashes -- to say nothing of the dusting that this method. of firing entails -- and which doesn't get done half the time. As for my hands, the skin is pretty nearly washed off them. You know how it is; you sit down to do a bit of sewing and mending, Presently you begin to feel chilly and you realize the living-room fire needs tending. You sce to that wash your hands, and settle down again. A little while later you think the kitlhen stove may need fixing. It sure does -- In fact it is nearly out. A trip to the woodshed -- a few chips--down to the cellar for more coal -- wait around for a bit to make sure your fire will get up -- wash your hands again and then back to your mending, By this time fifteen or twenty minutes have gone by--in which time you could have darned a couple of pair of socks. CE Maybe you will say 'a furnace has its drawbacks too. I don't doubt it, but that is something I have yet to discover. Partner tells me I must learn to run the furnace myself because when he is at the barn so much he doesn's want me to rely on him to see to it. There is only one objection I can see to that, I won't have anyone to blame if the house is either too hot or too cold, > . » But the furnace has not been the anly excitement around here this last few days.

No, the hens are rolling out the eggs faster than industry can build cases to hold them. But the point is, egg cases, like money, should be kept in circulation. And apparently they are not. It is my guess that somewhere along the line egg cases are being broken up an! burnt. It's like this. The egg grading station supplies crates to the farmers; the farmer sends his eggs back in the cases. The grader sorts and grades the eggs and ships them to retail stores and to Montreal. 'The cases are not returned, so, more cases have to be made all the time and, with the labour shortage, that really means something, Now you tell me--what happens to the cases that are shipped out? Isn't that worth looking into? SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON April 2 SAUL BECOMES A NEW MAN Acts 9: 1-19; 22: 6-16; 26: 12-20 PRINTED TEXT. Acts 9: 1-9, 13-19a. y GOLDEN TEXT.--If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature, 2 Corinthians 5: 17. Memory Verse: Be ye Ephesians 4: 32, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.-- The exact chronology of the Apostle Paul's life is difticult, and different opinions are held by different scholars, Approximately one may say that Saul of Tarsus was born in A.D. I. His conver- sion took place abou. A.D. 35, His last visit to Jerusalem was in A.D. 58, and his defense before Agrippa in A.D. 60. The Apostle was be- headed A.D. 64. Place.-- The conversion of Paul, aid the events immediately follow- ing, took place near and in the city of Damascus, in Syria, some- times called the oldest city in the world. Saul's defense before the multitude in the temple occurred, of course, in jerusalem. Iis address tc Agrippa was' given in Caesarea, a great city on the Syrian coast. Saul's Persecution Of The Church "Saul of Tarsus before Fis con- version. But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem." Saul, later the Apostle Paul, first appears in New Testament records as a young man standing ncar while Stephen was stoned (Acts 7: 58), we have a brief but vivid account of Saul's terrible persecution of the Church (Acts 8: 1-3). 'The great min- istry of Philip is then recorded and Saul reappears, still fiercely pur- suing Christians _everywhere. We find him now on the way from Jerusalem to Damascus, Saul's Conversion +» "And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus:* and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven." Why was such a super- natural manifestation at this time? Because this was needed to arrest this strong-willed man, Saul. He could only be startled and arrested by something which he knew, with- out doubt, came from God. Saul Knows The Truth "And he fell upon, the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, who art thou, Lord?" In that moment the truth was breaking upon the mind of this man, and ere he knew it he had kind, yielded himself to the one who had spoken out of the eternak light. He was in the presence of supre- macy and he admitted it as he <aid, 'Lord". "And he said, IT am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad" Christ told him that he was like the stupid oxen kicking against the goad, in refusing to do what they were ordered to do, only inflicting suffering upon themselves, Saul Yields Tor Christ "But rise and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men that jour- neyed with him stool speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man." Paul is immediately a man yielded to Christ and from that day to the day he died, he was cver seeking to know and to do the will of his Lord. "And Saul arose from the carth and when bis eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and dey led him by the hand, and Lreught him into Damascus, And, he was three days without sight, and did neither cat . nor drink." Bu though it was dark without, it was bright within Sauls innermost being.
