THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., MARCH 2, 1944 EATING HIS WAY OUT Mr. Polar Bear of the Bronx zoo, New York, is evidently anxious to leave his quarters. It looks like a good romp in the snow on the other side, but bars make awfully tough eating. CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM Gwendoline P. Clarke "Come wind, come weather" I still have a feeling that spring is hiding somewhere just around the corner. I think that, because, in ! spite of the snow covered ground, the birds, who are wiser than we are, are acting quite differently these days. They chatter away among themselves and show a lot more activity than they did a month ago. There is a little white-breasted nuthatch on the front lawn interests me tremendously. He is a happy little fellow. Sometimes he perches on the window-sill for a second or two, takes a peek through the window and then away he goes again. Next time I see him he is hunting a meal from the bark of the popular tree. The tree is quite close to the house so, by keeping well back from the window, I can watch the antics of the nuthatch without his being And of course there are plenty of sparrows and an odd starling or two -- and I like to watch them too. The starlings seem to be gathering up lestinfc material. It seems a little early for that but then maybe they have heard of the acute housing shortage and it may be that they think that even the birds of the air should take some thought for the morrow. Yes, Mrs. Starling, it might be a good idea to look around because, if you should fly down to the road, you will find that the mailbox in which you so persistently took up living quarters last year has been, removed. A biggei and better box has been installed instead, and one to which you, Mrs. Starling, will find it impossible to get It would seem the horses and other livestock have also a feeling of spring. The cows and heifers are gambolling about in the sun like young things. Yes, even nineteen-year-old Cicely was kicking up her heels this morning. And then, when I sat down to write just now, I looked across the front field and there was our neighbour's three year old colt leading its owner a merry chase across our field. I watched to se. what would happen and it wasn't long before the colt took the ience like a hunter. Well, maybe not quite like a hunter because he mus' have touched the top wire, as I notice one fence-post is leaning towards the lane at a drunken angle. The squirrels have been having quite a time too. The other day when there was so much fresh, soft snow, I thought I saw something dark moving in the snow-- you know how you sort of see things out- of the corner of your eye--and then I looked again and saw nothing. But I kept watching and presently out of the deep snow jumped a little black squirrel. TITO TODAY Rarely photographed Marshal josip ("Tito") Broz, Yugoslav Partisan guerrilla leader, is shown above in his latest picture. And did he evei have a time getting where he wanted to go. We, too, have been having a time getting where we wanted to go-- and there were ful the squirrel. Nearly every afternoon Partner would hitch the team to the car and we would open up the lane that way ready for the morning. And then in the night the wind woulc" blow--or there would come more snow--and our newly made track would be all filled in again. Finally Dame Nature relented and gave us a partial thaw, so now, with reasonable care, we can get in and out with out too much trouble. Fall Fairs Restored To Original Purpose Speaking at the annual convention of the Class "B" Fairs Association in Toronto, Dr. G. I. Christie, president of the O.A.C., Guelph, emphasized the necessity of keeping Fall fairs active dur- "It vould have been great calamity to discontinue these fairs", said Dr. Christie. "The people wanted them, the war effort needed them and war production has increased because of them." Dr. Christie expressed the view that wartime conditions have produced a great mprovement in these fairs from an agricultural standpoint and have restored them to their original purpose-He also referred to the effect of rural fairs on the improvement of live stock and particularly to the growing interest of farm youth in them. He. hoped the Canadian National Exhibition, the Royal Winter Fair, Ottawa Exhibition, and other large shows would be resumed as soon as possible because the.- were neeied. In his address, Dr. Christie c-m-dminid the praci.e oi show hercls travelling all over the province winning the prizes at every fair, and urged the fair directors to concentrate on bringing out the best live stock in their own neighborhoods.

RADIO REPORTER Three hundred people representing the broadcasting industry of Canada with guests from Glen Bannerman tenac, Quebec and out of it may come a new deal of freedom for Canadian broadcasting.

Judas, The Betrayer "And Judas Iscariot, lie that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them. And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him unto them" Observe the awful wickedness of the traitor.

There ;5 a real danger that you are being gradually becoming impossible for you to meet your obligations to munitics. There is a distinct danger to freedom of the air, to freedom of speech and to the exchange of "The system is becoming too centralized ■-- too monopolistic and too cumbersome for the rapid changes and developments in broadcasting. There is so much machinery to the system that it takes far too long to make necessary changes and adjustments. Today there is a continual struggle going on, not only on your part, but also within the CBC itself to prevent the present system from becoming too rigid and circumscribed. Unless changes in the system are made in the near future, I believe the struggle will be lost". It is inevitable that the struggle adian and Government owned systems v. ill eventually come to a head, but in the opinion of those attending the convention the day that the privately owned station is killed off, will be the day that sounds the death knell of Canadian radio. ing His Master. This is the crowning act of a course of cove-tousness and dishonesty. Plans Are Made "And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire." How carefully everything was planned! Although it is night the Jewish council is already assembled waiting to receive their prisoner. The object of the meeting was to find legal ground for putting Jesus to death and justify them before Peter's Denial of Christ 'And as Teter was beneath in the court.....and when he thought -thereon, he wept." While Peter warms himself, he is suddenly challenged by the maid as being a disciple qf Jesus. Peter disowns all knowledge of the Nazarene, all conscionsness even of what ihe charge meant. Then Peter heard the cork crow, but it did not "suc-ced in touching his heart Another maid accused him, and then a third.

When the cock crew twice, the warning of Jesus, the love and compassion of his Lord, came flooding into his heart. The Lord has jeen beaten; Peter had not been touched. The Lord had been betrayed; Peter was safe. He realized that he was an unworthy follower of the Master and, with a broken heart, went out weeping. Pilate's Act of Injustice "And Pilate again answered, and said unto them, what then shall I do unto him whom ye call the YANKS PUSH TOWARD TRUK Map shows where American assault forces, having taken Kwjalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, are pushing on toward the major Japanese naval base at Truk by capturing important islands in Eniwetok Atoll, Seventh Army Air Force planes also have attacked Ponape, largest enemy base east of Truk. RECEIVES LONG-SERVICE PASS 1 'ft Joseph Alfred Allard, TO, who was an employee of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in Montreal during the Riel Rebellion of 1885, when Sir William Van Home first proved the value of the Canadian Pacific's transcontinental line King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him. And Pilate said unto them, why, what evil hath he done? Put they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him." To ask the accusing party what should be done to Christ was a grave injustice to Him. Pilate was deciding against Christ when he tried to thro..- the responsibility on others. Having appealed in vain to their .'ercy he now appeals to their justice. But equally in vain_ They only cried out more for his death. We find from John's gospel (19:l.i> that the Jews threatened Pilate with the Emperor's displeasure if he let Jesus go. Had he been a just rule; he would have done justice to the innocent at whaler er. risk to himseif.
