INDIVIDUAL' itlzen's ALVS MAURICE A r> IFUVIN JPlL A Weekly Column About This and That in Our Canadian Army Why do you read this column? Because you are interested in the Army. And the reason you are interested in the Army is because your son or your brother or your father or your sister or your mother is in the Army. You can't find out enough to satisfy you. You want to know what he is doing,- what his en- vironment is, what his compan- ions are like or to know whether he is amongst congenial people, what her job is or is likely to b. In other words, and your parti- cular contact with Army life may not realize It, you want to know every little thing that goes on. The sort of thing that is so close to the letter-writer that he or she does not think of it as being in- teresting. Right? Since we understand each other on this point let's have a look at the other side. What about tha soldier male or female who awaits your let- t*rs from home? What sort of letters do you write? Do you tell every little, thing that goes on, do you realize that no soldier, man or woman, is so far from home that home isn't the most absorbing thing to read about when the Mail Corporal comes around with the letters? or parcels? Not long ago some of our sta- tesmen made pleas for letters to soldiers that would buck up their morale. They wanted us to write brightly and cheerily so that the boys and girls would feel better about things. Stuff, nonsense and poppy ock! The troops don't need artificial cheerfulness the kind of boys and girls in need of artificial cheer haven't yet volunteered for active service what they want is news of their real life, the life they have put behind them until they finish the job of raakhifc a contin- uance of that life possible. Tell them what's happening around the barn, down by the Post Office, who is "going with" who or should it be whom? how many kittens Tabby had last time, how Aunt Martha looked when she slipped on th cellar stairs and broke her ankle. Write a chapter about the new teacher who slapped the face of the fresh kid whose father is chairman ot the School Poard. In other words, keep th?m In the family circle. And when you are doing that and be sure to do it often, but not because you fear a loss of morale give a thought to the Canadian Postal Corps. There is an unpublicized. ucit of specialists who get nothing but criticism from their fellow sol- diers because mail is one of the things we tixke for grunted when we get it - - and cui'se the post- man for when it is late! It is a mammoth task, this handling of letters nad parcels to hundreds of thousands of ad- dressees who have literally "no known tuiilrfss." \Vhcn you put your letter in the mail box it* des- tination, unknown to you of course, may be the West Indies, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Kgypt, Gibraltar, England, Scot- land or Brockville. It may change from one of those destinations to another while the letter is en route. But that letter is delivvred. and in less time than the civilian Post Office which works very closely with the- C.P.C., could handle an ordinary piece of mail. As an example imagine you have decided to take a trip tv> Vancouver. Half way there you decide to run south and spend a couple of days in Chicago. Your appetite whetted by the Windy City, you change your mind again and head for o Angeles whers you find your mail waiting for you! Sounds like- magic, doesn't it? Well it would b magic if tt could be don* in civilian life, but in the Army it's different. There you have an organization that has to keep its component de- partments adivsed of everything that goes on so that supply and transport will be arranged. Movements planned in advance, art known to all concerned and the "magic" becomes just good business practice that results In the delivery of a letter originally destined for Sergeant Brown in Scotland to Officer Cadet Brown in Brockville, Ontario, the minute he arrives there. This is just one of the ways in which the Individual Citizens Army looks after the sons and daughters of that larger Indivi- dual Citizens Army that pays the bills. Let us, then, instead of being just content to pay the bills, sea to it that the public servants we hire to do the work of running our government leave no stone un- turned to back up the armed forces. We tell these hired men of ours to do an all-out job. We criticise them for not doing it to our satis- faction. We must do more than that we must give them the leadership we hired them to give us. So far we have been rationed in a few insignificant commodities all of which we could do with- out Most of my correspondents tell me they would welcome tha rationing of manj othe". com- modities. Don't tell me. Tell the man you hired last election! The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has been empowered oy you to fight against inflation. Stand behind it. Help it do this big job for you by seeing to it that no in- fraction goes un-reported. Every cheat who evades an order of the Board* is as much a saboteur as the German who comes ashore from a submarine. Let's keep Canada a place that is something to write about. Nazi Given Tea Instead of Chain* "Chain him, put him in irons," shouted several women who saw a German pilot parachuting from a damaged 'plane which attacked a town in Southeast Britain. But when the pilot was brought down from a rooftop to which ho had floated, he was given instead a "dish" of tea. COMMERCIAL PUNT HORIZONTAL 1 Plant from which linen is made.

SU N DA Y SCHOOL L SS_O/V LESSON 44 THE CHRISTIAN VIEW Of MARRIAGE Gene.i. 1:27. 28; 2:18-24| Jeremiah 29:4-6; Matthew 19:3-6; John 2:1-5 PRINTED TEXT Genesis 2:18-24; Matthew 19:3-6; John 2:1-5 GOLDEN TEXT. Let marriage be had in honor among all. Heb- rews 13:4. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time We do not know when our first parents began their life together. It was something over six thousand years ago. The let- ter of Jeremiah's, partly quoted in this lesson, was written about 599 B.C. Our Lord's teaching on divorce was given in February, A.D. 30. The marriage in Cana occurred in February. A.D. 27. Place. We do not know where the garden of Eden was located, but it was probably near the lower part of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers; those to whom Jeremiah wrote were living in Babylon. Our Lord's teaching on divorce was given in Peraea. The wedding described by John was in Cana of Galilee. Before the Creation of Eve 18. "And Jehovah God said, It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him. 19. And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 2t* And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help meet for him." The main word in this paragraph is helpmeet, which means, literally, a helper. The expression indicate* that the forthcoming helper was to be of similar nature to the man himself, corresponding by way of supplement to the incompleteness of his lonely being, and in every way adapted to be his co-partner and companion. All that Adam's nature demanded for its comple- tion, physically, intellectually, so- cially, was to b included in this qibar eU wfco was soon to stand by his side. Thus in man's need, and woman's power to satisfy that need, is laid the foundation for the Divine institution of marriage, which was afterwards prescribed not for the first pair alone, but for all their posterity. Creation of Ev 21. "And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up th flesh instead thereof: 22. and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man. made he a woman, and brought her unto the man." It is interesting to note that man was a keeper of the garden before woman was created, and was to be enabled to provide for the sus- tenance and comfort of his wife. Adam's Joy 23. "And the man said. This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." The poetry of love is found here in its first origin. Adam'* exclamation gives expression to the joyful surprise with which he beholds her. Divine Rite of Marriage 24. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." There are four great principles enunciated in this one verse. ( I) One man was to have one wife and one woman one husband, that is except in the case of the death of one. (2> The devotion of hus- band and wife should be first to each other and not to their par- ents. (3) Husband and wife are permanently united in the deepest devotion, and this relationship is deeper than citizenship in a state, employment in any concern, mem- bership in any human organiza- tion, devotlbn to any social group. (4) Marriage does have, an.l is in- tended to have, a deep physical basis, and husband and wife should be, and are intended to be, definitely attracted to ea.-h other RADIO REPORTER Br REX FSOST Canada's most popular radio broadcast hits the airwave* this Saturday. After considerable dis- cussion, it has been decided to continue the hockey broadcasts of the National Hockey League again this season. There was in fact more argument pro and con on the subject of continuing profes- sional hockey this season, than ia deciding to voice the puck action over the national networks. IB many ways it was largely tie radio angle which swung the de- cision to continue the N.H.L. games this winter. One potent argument favoured the belief that even a Canada at war required the relaxation which the broad- casts of hockey every Saturday evening brought to listeners from the Atlantic to the Pacific . . . so Saturday evening is again to become Canada's national hockey night from coast to coast, CBL and CFRB Toronto will carry the broadcasts, commencing October 31st, 9 p.m. New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs will open the season. As usual the Hot Stove League featuring Elmer Ferguson, Wes McKnighr. Harold Cotton and Bobby Hewitson will be heard during the intermissions. In connection with the opening of the hockey season, sports fans will be glad to know that Wes Mc- Knight's interviews wich hockey stars will be broadcast for the 10th consecutive season. Origin- ating from CFRB Toronto these interviews will be heard every Saturday evening 7 to 7.15 and will be fed to many Canadian stations across the Dominion. Coach Happy Day who led the Leafs to the Stanley Cup last season will face the microphone on Saturday, October 31st. These days when Dad's pay cheque has a substantial deduction made for income tax before he arrives home, require a bit more economy than usual on the part of Mother. In homes where tie margin between income and outgo is slim these stirring times, the friendly advice of Ethelwyn Hobbes. C.B.C.'s shopping expert is proving, I understand, very helpful She gives advice on how to buy and how to budget wisely and economically in the program series heard every Wednesday at 4.15. Mrs. Hobbes, after careful research has found some new angles on how to get the most out of the family budget. These three angles cover the essential requirements of food, household equipment and clothing. So if you ar interested in learning aboik, many aids in keeping down t*M household accounts, your CB1 hostess, Ethelwyn Hobbs will b mighty glad to greet you. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has just announced the commencement of a new e* ies of Sunday morning program* designed to familiarise the chii. dren with the Bible, and particu- larly with the Life of Christ. Lik the very popular series "And I* Came to Pass," the new presen- tation styled "Dramas from tha Bible" will offer stories entirely in dramatic form, Old Testament stories will be featured during November concerning Noah. Abra- ham. Moses, Elijah and the Younf David. The stories presumably are designed with particular ap- peal to children in the age group of 12 to 14 years, but at the same) time will include enough dramati* interest to gain the ear of older youth groups and adults. The. first programme will be heard, Sunday. N'ovember 1st, over net- work stations of the CBC, 10 a.nu * Have you heard the new "Good Luck" show which commenced over CBL a week ago on a Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday 7 ts> 7.15 schedule? Here is a pro- gramme featuring the songs and chatti-r of Al and Bob Harvey, Bob Farnon's orchestra assisting, and with Al Savage putting in tha plugs.

Optimism She had applied to join the Women's Land Army. On being; interviewed it transpired that sh was terrified of cows, but despita this w;s most anxious to learn t milk. "I'm sure I should be all right." she said, "if only I could start on a calf!" Divorce 3-6. ''And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him. and saying. Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4. And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, 5. and said. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shal cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? 6. So that they are no more two but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined to- gether, let not man put asunder." Marriage is a fundamental human relation. It is something more than a living together of man and woman: it is a psychical as well as a physical completion of indivi- duals; and as such it is !n the largest sense of the term a fra- ternity that depends for its per- petuation upon love. Divorce by Jesus is regarded as impossible, except as a formal recognition of an already broken union. As marriage gives rise to an actual union of personalities, it can be broken only by an actual severance of this union. Our Lord does not say that every mar- riage entered into is according to the will of God. What our Lord does say is that when God has united two people in marriage, no one should ever Jo, or think, or plan, or suggest anything that would break that marriage cove- nant, and lead to the termination of that holy relationship. Wedding Feast In Cana 1. "And the third day there was a marviage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2. and Jesus also was bid- den, and his disciples, to the m.ir- riage. 3. And when the wine ;':ii\'t!, the mother of Jesus said unto him, They have no wine. 4. And Jesus saith unto her. Woman, what have I to Jo with thee? min hour is not yet come. 5. Hi mother saith unto the servants. Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." As this was a marriage feast, we cannot forget that in the beau- tiful words of the marriage scrvict) Christ 'hallowed and adorned' that divine institution 'by his presence and first miracle that he wrought in Cana of Galilee.' At the very beginning of the Old T.-stament we find the primeval law that one man should be the husband of on* wife, and here, at the very outset of his ministry, we have Christ giving his countenance to niar- riagv. thereby showing at what a distance he stood from those who, already in the days of Paul, had begun to forbid men to marry, and had cast reproach upon the holiest and most helpful relation- ship of life. At all our feasts, therefore, let us seek to have, Christ present, and to be ourselves Chr-<tians. Above all, at our marriage feasts let us send our first invitation to him, for when marriages among us shall be en- tered into in that spirit, there will he fewer divorces in the land. Stalingrad Plant Producing Again The Russians were reported to have put undamaged sections of a tractor factory back into pro- duction in battered Stalingrad. It was building new tanks to re- pel the invaders, and repairing wrecks, practically on the battle- ground itself. It was indicated that the factory was the Stalin Tractor Works, built by American engineers. POP That's a Reflection on Pop's Looks Bv J. MILLAR WATT WHATEVER YOU VE GOT WE- DON'T WANT ANV YES!
