eight to ten pages average circulation 1375 subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment legislature takes wise course the two year municipal election term is not to be forced on the people of ontario it seems that when the party got into caucus and the private members made it clear just how the average elector stood mr hepburn wisely decided that he would not force the measure and we are glad he had seen fit to make a change of front after all the hepburn government has given the country some exceptionally good legislation among the measures it has adopted which have been much appreciat ed in the rural parts have been the mill and a half rebate to municipalities a modification in rural hydro installation terms reduction in motor license fees and an increased grant to townships for upkeep of roads these are only a few of the good things this government has given us and it would be unfortunate if an unpopular measure such as the two year or duration term for municipal councils was forced on an unwilling province facts about your hockey sticks ice hockey has now become a popular sport in almost every country in europe in parts of asia and even in south africa australia and new zealand where natural ice con ditions are not available the hockey ists enjoy the canadian sport on artificial ice and whether professionals major league stars amateurs or rank beginners the majority of the players in most of these countries are playing the game with canadianmade equipment almost like a geography book index reads the export shipping records of the ccm choquette wood products that at st johns quebec one of the worlds largest manufacturers of icehockey sticks whose product is distributed by the worldwide known ccm organization thousands of sticks every year leave this factory for the towns and cities of most foreign lands where icehockey is played these countries buy their stick supplies here be cause the most suitable types of wood for this purpose grow in canada second growth rock elm grey elm and ash averaging from fifteen to thirty inches in diameter have been found to be the best for hockey stick lumber the elm because of its soft workable and fibrous texture the ash because of its straight grain lightness and stiffness great stands of ash are to be found in the rugged coarse soils of quebecs eastern townships while the extensive limestone areas of eastern and northern ontario produce fine rock and grey elm the choice of lumber is a most important factor in the manufacture of high grade hockey sticks especially when they are destined for a worldwide market where temperatures vary to both extremes of the thermometer wood experts employed by the stick manufacturers actu ally go into the areas where the ash and elm are available mark the trees to be cut follow the logs through the mill and direct the sawing operations to ensure care in each step nor is the task of choosing the most suitable trees an easy one it is not advisable for instance to use lumber grown on low land or very old trees where deterioration may be hidden in the fibrous texture because it is difficult to detect old or partially dead wood once it has been cut in to billets short lengths of lumber and airdried hockey stick lumber must be taken as close to the tree bark as possible therefore light slabbing of the logs is important as is the sawing into billets to insure flat straight grain in the finished blade perhaps the most important operation in the life of the stick is the scientific removal of the moisture from the lengths of lumber before they are stripped into hockey stick blanks this operation is vital to prevent the wood from working or warping if dried too fast in the specially constructed curing kilns the pores on the outside surfaces will close or caseharden and prevent the removal of the moisture from the centre or core of the billet after the bonedry lumber has passed through the chain of opera tions which turns it into a finished hockey stick precau tions must be taken to guarantee the finished product re taining its proper moisture content and thus remaining stiff and free from warpage the average twentyounce hardwood shillelagh starts life in the raw as a twelvepound piece of green lum ber skilled machinists and modern machinery convert the log of ash or elm into a finish stick through a chain of varied operations the job of supplying the general market is comparatively simple because the onepiece sticks are all of standard patterns the difficulty enters the work when custommade sticks are made for the professional hockey players especially the players in the national hockey league who demand no less than 125 distinctly differentmodels the blades required by the pros vary in all possible ways in length thickness width shape and weights of handle and blade the weights required range from 19 to 25 ounces and in length from the short 49inch sticks to the long 55inch models with each of the seven nhl teams using an average of 400 sticks per season and each player averaging about 30 per year the manufac turers are busy allyear round producing these special madetoorder models for the pros semipros and amateurs throughout the country baker voted down cen mot the member for north york in the ontario legislature mor gan baker is getting a good deal of local credit for being one of the ten liberals to bolt from his party leader in the house on thursday on the issue of otta was persecution of the war by mackenzie king before the vote mr baker had a chance to address the house and attempted to get after col drew for making ex travagant charges when prem ier hepburn interrupted him and enticed him to include him in his chastisement but mr baker avoided this which the premier evidently didnt appre ciate mr baker replying to critic- sunday school lesson morgan baker mpp isms of col drew read from hansard a speech made by pre mier king last september what is that you are read ing asked mr hepburn sud denly i am reading from a speech delivered by premier king mr baker replied why should we be subjected to that kind of twaddle asked mr hepburn amid laughter mr baker also read a telegram he had received that day ifrom premier kings secretary stating that there was the full est and closest cooperation be tween canada britain and france such vitriolic attacks as those of the opposition leader will do more to break down the morale of our people and do more harm than german gun fire the north york member declared i hope premier hepburn in terjected springing to his feet the honorable member in cludes me in that if my re marks wernt vitriolic they were intended to be no mr prime minister mr baker rejoined your speech was not vitriolic but that of the opposition leader was mr baker insisted amid con servative shouts of no no that an attack on the canadian government involved also an attack on the governments of britain and france mr baker stated he had re ceived much information from ottawa relevant to the debate to show how unfair the critic ism can be i have here the ag ues relating to the payment of soldiers allowances there have been 42000 applications and all but 3600 have received final disposition he said allow ances have been paid to 26000 wives and the allowances of 6000 have been applied to life insurance policies approxim ately 90 per cent of the applica tions have been disposed of why should the department be criticized it couldnt work any more

the war or what demanded col hunt er as an argument arose be tween mr baker and mr macaulay no gasoline tax rebate a conservative member suggested ironically the sooner the opposition leader comes to

by the king govern- ltsson for january 28 jesus dramatically pro claims his 5ikssiakship golden text behold thy kin cometh unto thee matt215 approach to the lesson our lords entry into jerus alem at the beginning of his last week of public ministry had been foretold long before and was in exact accord with the prophetic word as recorded in zechariah 99 the joyous cries of the multitude who wel comed him were also prophesied beforehand by david in psalm 11825 and 26 thus there were two distinct scriptures fulfilled on this momentous occasion then when jesus cleansed the temple for the second time he referred to and quoted isaiah 567 as his authority for acting as he did all this is in keeping with the character of matthews gospel which as we have seen is designed throughout to link the old testament promises and predictions with their new testament counterparts it might be said that everything jesus did and all he taught was in exact accord with that which had been forfold by the voice of inspiration throughout the ages in this as in all else we see the perfection of the word of god prophecy is the seal of its div inely unique character no other book is thus accredited the bible is in fact the only book of prophecy in the world the so- called sacred literature of the great religions is without this mark and is puerile in the ex treme when contrasted with the revelation given in the holy scriptures the historical setting we are now within a week of the death of our lord but what an eventful week it was ac cording to the best authorities it was in the spring of the year ad 30 just preceding the feast of the passover jesus had come down from galilee to die at jerusalem in accordance with the plan of god verse by verse matt 211 unto the mount ot olives they entered jerusalem from the east having come up from the jordan valley along the regular highway between jericho and the capital verse 2 ye shall find an ass tied and a colt with her as lord of creation jesus knew just where the beast was to ibe found upon which he chose to ride into the city in acordance with the prophetic declar ation of zechariah as jesus commanded them by im plicit obedience they acknowledged his authority verse 7 put on them their clothes it was an unbroken colt and they made a kiud of saddle wivh thejr own garments the creature knew its creator and was docile at once verse 8 a very great multi tude they gave him a royal wel come for they evidently supposed he was about to proclaim his messiah- ship and deliver israel from subjec tion to the romans verse 9 hosanna to the son of david hosanna is the hebrew term rendered save now in our translation of psalm 11s25 bless ed is he that cometh n the name of the lord this could only refer to the promised messiah jehovahs an ointed one who was to be the saviour of israel verse 10 all the city was mov ed saying who is this the ma jority of the inhabitants of jeru salem were amaged at the demon stration and wondered what it could portend verse 11 this is jesus the pro phet of nazareth of galilee the multitude declared his identity leav ing it to the others to draw their own conclusions verse 12 jesus went into the temple of god this was in accord ance with the prophecy of malacbi 31 the lord had come to the ttemple to free it from its deceitful commercialism which was abnoxli3b to god he acted as lord orsf his own house in driving out the money changers and sellers of sacrificial victims who were making dishonest gains through their dealings with the worshipers from distant lands verse 13 the house of prayer a den of thieves citing isai ahs solemn indictment against the covetous formalists of his clay jesus applied the pasage to those who then had polluted the temple courts verse 14 the blind and the lame came as he taught in the temple area according to the cus tom of the time many needing physical help came and he demon strated his power by granting the healing they desired verse 15 the chief priests and scribes were sore displeased instead of rejoicing that god had visited his people these hypocritical selfseeking religionists were angry when they saw the display of power in miracles of jesus and heard the children crying out as their elders had done ibefore hosanna to the son of david they well knew the term implied that jesus was the messiah who was to come of davids line- verse 16 out of the mouth of babes and sucklings jesus an swered their cavils by refering them to psalm 82 as translated in the septuagint version it was gods spirit who moved the little ones thus to acclaim him and he would not have them silenced the heart of the lesson nothing that man can do will be able to hinder the fulfillment of what theres no time like the present we venture to say

his holy word verse 3 the lord hath need of prophecy is but history written be- them it is evident that the owner of the colt was one who knew and believed in jesus and was therefore glad to be of service to him verse 4 that it might be ful filled this is a characteristic ex pression of matthews record which aims to show definitely that jesus was the promised messiah verse 5 behold thy king cometh unto thee at last the word of zechariah spoken four hundred years before was to be fulfilled and that literally verse 6 the disciples did ment for the last four years the previous government he charged had allowed our defences to go into disrepute and disrepair mr baker suggested that a committee be appointed to study the question of canadas war preparations and that we stop all criticism until we know all the facts the motion of censor on premier king which premier hepburn later introduced and told the house he would resign if it was not carried read as follows that this house has heard with interest the reports made by the prime minister and the leader of the opposition of the result of their visit to ottawa to discuss war measures with the national government and this house hereby endorses the statements made by the two members in question and joins with them in regretting that the federal government at ottawa has made so little effort to prosecute canadas duty in the vigorous manner the people of canada desire to see while the whole cabinet stood by the premier also col drew and 18 conservatives ten liberals voted against their leader and many other liberals
