LEARNS HER LESSON WELL Actress Norma Shearer, who took skiing lessons from Martin Arrouge, learned to love her teacher, with result that marriage date is set. INDIVIDUAL' Citizen'; ALAN MAURICE A Weekly Column About This and That in Our Canadian Army Once or twice I have let my temper run away with me in these columns and have said a good deal of what I thought about a number of Canadians who didn't seem to know that we are fighting a war. V Of course that "good deal of what I thought" was said in a manner not calculated to enrich the vocabularies of compositors if compositors' vocabularies csn be enriched but, nonetheless, despite its moderation my lan- guage was intended to conceal none of my thoughts on the sub- ject. It is only fair then that having found something to boast about I should do my boasting with ven less reserve than my crab- bing. And it is something to boast about! At the risk of boring you with stories about the Reserve Army I am going to tell you what happen- ed yesterday in my battalion. Be- oause that unit ii representative of the whole Reserve Army and what happens In It is being dupli- cated all across the country I am not going to name it. Yesterday, in keeping with the sui up of the Reserve Army, we were ordered to hold a full day's workout in the open. Yesterday, I might mention, was Sunday. Unfortunately the weather was not only inclement it was a downright, day-long "soaker." We are not fair-weather sol- diers by any means, but when your men are old-soldiers, "C" categories or youngsters you think twice about "hardening" them to the extent of risking a high per- centage of pneumonia cases, so our commanding officer decided upon lectures and demonstrations Indoors until the weather cleared. But the weather didn't clear! In due course, when he felt that a full day's work had been done, the O. C. decided to dismiss thu parade. That was ali very well but he hadn't counted upon the eagerness of the new recruits. Through their instructors these men asked if they might huve some more instruction, taking ad- vantage of a wet Sunday to bring themselves to the point where they could the sooner join their companies anil get on with there regular training. Mo one ever refuses a request of that kind and, since the basic, training of recruits ia the pro- vince of the Regimental Sergeunt- Major and myself, we asked for volunteer instructors and carried on far un hour and a hall'. Without question I have never before seen people work HO hard when they weren't compelled to do so. At the; end of the period ai an experiment 1 asked the re- cruits if they wanted to go home or, after HI minutes for a smoke, would like to work another hour. Only one man elected to go home and that WHS because he had been on the night shift in the u. mill n. i, H factory and had worked all the preceding night. When the tim comes for ac- tive defence of Canada we'll have the satisfaction of knowing that men like these will have our safo- tjr In their care. And. mind you, there is m> fool- in about this Reserve Army of ours. The terras of engagement are for the duration of the war or, i the cas* of the men In the lowest age bracket, until they are old enough to volunteer for active service. Of private soldiers, 46 days of training each year are required. These are divided into! 15 days ID camp, 10 full Sundays, 60 nights considered the equivalent of the remaining 20 days. Nori - commissioned officers, warrant officer* and officers are required to put In 10 extra days of training which brings their quota of drill nights up to 90 plus their work as members of committees, orderly duties, etc. "No fooling" seems to be the proper description, doesn't it? Especially in view of the way the new recruits feel. And don't let anyone tell you that middle-aged folks can't learn new tricks. You should the progress made by men who have nover before run into squad drill or th manual of arms. It's not particularly easy to learn how to march, how to turn, how to change step or how to throw a rifle around so as it's al- ways under yuor control - - but these men are doing it and doing it faster than we did as young re- cruits 25 years ago. Now let's come to the uniform- ed Individual Citizen's Army. We are going to have to learn new tricks, too. We are going to hsva to learn what our fathers and mothers did a quarter of a century ago, that wars can't be won with- out sacrifice both in the front line and on the home front. The casualty lists so far have been infrequent and small. Both those conditions will change. Our sacrifices on the home front have been infinitesimal. What's a little gasoline when none of uii should be driving cars? What do tea and coffee matter when there is an abundance of milk itnd good, healthful hot water? And why use sugar when explosives to blast our enemies can be made from it? We. cursed the profiteers in the war of 1914-1!)!!). This time, through the operations of the Wartime Prices arid Trade Board, we can curb them before they get started. It's up to us let's do as good a job on the home front as the Individual Citizen's Army in khaki will do when McNnughlon is allowed to point his "dagger" at the heart of Berlin. SU N DA Y SCHOOL L ESSO/V LESSON 36 THE ALCOHOL PROBLEM: PAST AND PRESENT In Ancient Sodom Genetii ISi 13| 19:23-25; Deuteronomy 32: 31-33. In Ancient Urael Amoi 6:1-7. GOLDEN TEXT. The w T of the wicked shall peri.h. Psalm 1:6. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. The destruction of Sodom took place about 1900 B.C. The final exhortation* were given about 1450 B.C. Amos prophe- sied 784 B.C. Place. The cities of the p'am were probably at the southern end of what is now the Dead Se. Moses' last instructions were given in the plain of Moab. Amos was born in the city of Tekoa, south of Bethlehem, but prophe- sied in Bethel, a city in Israel north of Jerusalem. God' Judgment Upon Sin 13. "Now the men of Sodpm were wicked and sinners against Jehovah exceedingly." This verse is simply an indictment of Sodom because of its awful sinfulness. 23. "The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24. Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven; 26. and he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the 'inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew apon the ground." Here the Lord is repre- sented as present in the skies, whence the storm of desolation comes, and on the earth where it falls. The question arises, why did God so utterly destroy these cities? One reason might be that H would by this destruction stop the flood of wickedness which must have proceeded from them to all centres of life in the vicin- ity of the Orient. Secondly, God punished these cities as a warn- ing 1 to others, both in that gen- eration and in all generations to come, of His utter hatred of .sin, of his determination to punish it, and as a manifestation of the fact tht He has the power to destroy those who live in shameless re- bellion against His holy laws. The Foe* of Urael 31. "For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies them- selves being judges. 32. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter: 38. Their wine ii the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps." Thes particular venes are found in what is known a* the Song of Moses, which proceeded from his lipi, by divine inspiration, shortly before his death. The great prophet, soon to leave his people, knowing by revelation some of the great tests that were before them, here desires to bear one great final testimony to the abso- lute pre-eminence, and faithful- ness, and power of God, urging Israel to be true to Him Who was the only true ami living God. The word rock occurs In this one pas- sage eight times, and may b called one of the great Old Testa- ment titles for God. In compar- ing Israel's privileges with the pagan people's round about, Moses reminds the people of God that that which the heathen people pretended was their secur- ity and safety, namely their dead idols, wax not a rock us Israel's Kock was, to which even their own enemies bore testimony.

And that's just about as good radio news as any radio home could hear! On CROC on CBL on CBO and the sta- tions of the CBC National Net- work, you can hear the 'Gang* daily at 1.15, for their full thirty minute fun and smiles show. Of course, this year as in years past, Canada's favorite show is sparked by the, personality and genius of the diminutive Master of Cere- monies, Bert Pearl, five foot two and a half of sunshine (We're quoting Hugh Bartlett) ! Give ft listen friends, and bring nw hap- piness to your day, every day, with "The Happy Gang!" * With September on CKOC and on all your favorite local station* now under way, we can add up a few of the hits that are on their vent for themselves instruments of musk, like David; 6. that drink wine in bowls, and anoint them- selves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the af- fliction of Joseph. 7. Therefore shall they now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away." This entire passage is an in- dictment not of all Israelites, but of the leading men of Israel upon whom the responsibilities for gov- ernment and leadership primarily rested. At this time, during the reign of Jeroboam II (825-784 B.C.), an age of military victories and great prosperity, yet at tht same time a period of gross wick- edness, these men, instead of be- ing actively engaged in attempt- ing to bring about a great revival of righteousness, correcting the abuses and transgressions so pre- valent in Israel, were found to b taking it easy on Zion. One of the most terrible characteristics of these evil men, leaders though they were, was their refusal to seriously recognize that inevitably a day of judgment and divine wrath must come to Israel for her continued disobedience. The thought that the Lord has a day in which to judge man frets or frightens the irreligious and they use different ways to get rid of it. The strong harden themselves auainst it, distort the belief in it or disbelieve it. The weak and voluptuous shut their eyes to it, like the bird in the fable, as if what they dread would cease to be there because they cease to see it. Amos now proceeds to enumer- ate some of the vices which were so characteristic of this period of Israel's history: they began to stretch themselves out upon couches, when they ate, instead of sitting, as was previously their custom (Gen. 27:19; I Sam. 20: 5, 24); they demanded the great- est delicacies of the land for their table; they indulged in riotous revelry, and brought in musicians who played to entertain them at these feasts. With all of this, of course, there was the accompani- ment of heavy drinking. The word here translated "howls" means large bowls, or basins, rather than cups or drinking ves- sels. The whole scene is one of extravagance, voluptuousness, sen- suality, the consequence of wealth in u time of pence when no self- control is exercised. With it all, these leaders, these wealthy people, were not grieved for the moral degradation of their time, nor concerned for those of their race who were less fortunate than they. way to entertain you through the Ion? fall and winter.

Newcomer to the Hit Parade - "South Wind," a haunting melody of the southern seas! May Be Necessary To* Ration Butter Possibility of a shortage of but- ter in Canada after th* present season of heavy production enda was pictured by the Agricultural Supplies Board in a press release which said rationing might ba necessary unless farmers see to It that sufficient supplies ara available. "Butter for the domestic mar- ket appears to be the dairy prod- uct which might b* in short sup- ply when the present season of heavy production is over," said the board. "With a view to avoiding a pos- sible shortage next winter, a sub- sidy of six cents a pound butter- fat delivered to creameries for th* manufacture- of creamery butter became effective July 6, and a campaign Is under way for in- creased butter production, parti- cularly during the coming win- ter and following season. "Where last winter the em- phasis was on cheese since this product was scarce and the butter supply ample a year ago thin winter the emphasis should be on butter. "It it to the interest of Cana- dian farmers to see that butter U available in ample supply to meet reasonable demand, as otherwise action may be necessary either in the way of rationing butter or if supplementing supplies."
