Jenness, chief of the an- thropological division of the Na. tional Museum, says Canadian discoveries of the Folsom point over a period of years have en- couraged the hope that further information about the -Dominion's first: people may be assembled. DISCOVERY ON PRAIRIES The Folsom point, evidently the point of a spear and" made by chipping chert stone, is the only: relic of the oldest race of Americans, Their antiquity was established approximately when geologists examined formations in which they were found in the United States, chiefly in Color- ado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah. Geolegists said these for- mations were from 10.000 to 20,000 years o!d, and it has been assumed-that Folsom points found on the surface in Canada must be about the same age. Most Falsom point discoveries have been made on the priuties, * and it may be that some were carried there by the first men ¥ha crossed from Asia to Alas. a. "Surface discoveries of Folsom peints are not particularly help: ful," said Dr. Jenness, "Unless "=== "they are in the earth formations in which they have "lain for so long they cannot tell us more than we already know. "If one were found embedded in a bone we could establish the age more exactly by studying the bone and applying our know- ledge of the period in which these animals lived." ANIMALS OF THAT 'ERA The Foltcn era .men in Can- ada had an extraordinary range of animals they might hunt: -- or flee -- including a three-toed \horse, a type of camel, a species cf bison, a giant sloth, and the mammoth, .

Place.--All the events of the chapter, down to 21 : 5, took place in Jerusalem proper, the Olivet discourse wad given om the Mount of Olives, directly opposite from and east of the Holy City, The: prophecies uttered in this lesson are wonderfully rich, a rev. elation of Christ's divine fore- knowledge and an unveiling of fu. ture events, ' The Wicked Husbandmen * Luke 20: 9. "And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went fn. to another country. for a long time. 10. And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the truft of the vineyard: but the husband- men beat him, and sent him away empty. 11. And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, -and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty, 12. And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth. 13. And the lord of the vineyard 'sald, © What shall'I do? 1 will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him, 14, And when the husbandmen saw him, they reason. ed .one with another, saying, This Is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours." The inference In this parable {3 that the owner will eventually come back to the vineyard and punish his treas- onable and murderous tenants by death. That the vineyard and its husbandmen together represent Is. rael, almost all would agree. The use of The Vine as a symbol of the Jewish people is a familiar one fn the Old Testament. With it go the thoughts of Divine care for ft, and Divine hope of fruit from it. Have we here, then, the Vineyard as the emblem of the people, and thelr Leaders--the Rabbis, Elders, and Teachers -- represented by the wicked cultivators? If that be so, the servants sent by the owner are prophets bringing a message to the people. Warning to the Husbfndmen 15. "And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do untgsthem? 16. He will come and destroy theso hus- bandmen, and will give the vine- yard unto others. And when they heard it, they sald, God forbid." It the husbandmen here referred to are the ecclesiastical leaders of Is- rael, who should have been godly men, warmly welcoming the Megs. fah Instead of partaking In hls death, then the punishment here predicted was definitely ackom. plished in the destruction of usalem under Titus in A.D. 70. From their cry "God forbid!" we are rather led to belleve that the Jews knew immediately of what Christ was here speaking, and that many of them were definitely con. sclous that they were symboyzed by the husbandmen of this bar. able, The Rejected Stone 17. "But he looked upon them, and sald, What then Is this that fs written, The stone which the bulld- ers rejected, The same was made the head of the corner? 18. Every + |- one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whom. soever {it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust." The careful reader of tliis conver. satlon will be struck with two points in it, first that Jesus claims to be_the heir of God; second, it : is implied that this was known by the Jewish leadere. It was Just because they knew Him to ba the Messiah, they were so eager to refuse Him, That the stone here spoken of was the Lord Jesus Christ must be acknowledged by everyone, Question of Tribute 19. "And the scribes and the, chiet priests sought to lay hands' on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: tor they per. celved that he spake this, parable against' them: 20. And they wafeh. J ~ed him, and sent forth ses, who folgned themselves to be "right: eous that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor." The reason that the scribes and the chief priests wanted to lay hands upon the Lord was not that He had done any. thing wrong, not that He was tell- Ing a lle, but that He was telling the. triith, in exposing their sinfal. ness, The only reason they did not lay hold of the Lord at this par. ticular hour was through: fear of the people; Meantime they, plot. ted an elaborate schemo to trap our Lord, and bring about his" | (death, They asked him: "Is It law: ful tor us to gtve tribute unto Caes--- = Distinguished Canadian Scien illed in Plane ( 2h Sh Pin \ = ¥ Sit rash i Sir Frederick Banting, co-discoverer of insulin, one of Canada's foremost medical authorities, known the world over for his work in scientific research, lost Frederick held his life when the plane he was flying in en route to England pancaked off the east coast of Newfoundland. the rank of major in the Canadian Army been engaged in army medical work since the outbreak of war.

RADIO REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS © NEW CANADIANS In Canada there are some four million citizens who are not of Anglo or French-Canadian origin. We who are of English and French descent, find it difficult sometimes to pronounce their names and impossible to read their newspapers, But despite this fact they are Canadians. Some of them have been so for three or more generations, some are comparative newcomers. Many of these' men are serving in the armed forces of Canada --Thousands more work in our factories while their women en- gage in home front war work.

A AROUND THE DIAL In these hectic days of war and rumour -- with rumor play- ing an important part in the moves on the Internatiohal checker-hoard -- it is always a good thing to have some under- standing of what goes on behind the scenes in the chancelleries of' Europe. You can have this un- derstanding if you dial in Dr, E. T. Salmon, expert war observer, from CKOC -- 1120 on your dial --any weeknight at 7.15, Dr. Salmon's long association © with the British foreign office gives bin a sound background for his keen summing up of the day by day war moves. Broadcasting from Rome last week, an American .correspond- en quipped as follows: "The Ital- ian High Command reports troop movements but they have not said whether they were forward or backward". For that crack he was tossed out of Italy. Ona Munson is being "haunt- ed" by a girl named Una Mun- son. No sooner had the "Big Town" feminine lead checked into a New York hotel than strange things began to happen. She received mysterious phone calls, mail from unknown per- sons and her own incoming let- ters disappeared. Then the ra- dio player learned that a Miss Una Munson also was a guest at the same hotel. When the "Big Town" Munson moved her- self to another hotel, the same confusion began all over again. Out of several hundred available hotels, the second Miss Munson + once more selected the same one. The situation finally was solved by conference and everybody is still good friends. Miss Munson is neard over CFRB Wednesday night at 9. Trivia: Louise King of the King Sisters is married to orchy leader Alvino Rey . . .

Farmers Plan Growing Okra In Essex and Kent Counties --New Vegetable Will Be Used For Making Canned Soup Extensive growing of okra is in" dicated for Kent and Essex coun- ties this season as a war-time measure to preserve foreign ex- change and keep from having to import the green vegetable from the United States, it is learned "from H.

Coyle, Chatham rep- resentative of a large soup cona- pany says the Windsor Daily Star, - Although a large "acreage has been allotted to farmers, there is still some available to interested growers, Mr. Coyle said. A num- ber of growers in the Leamington area have shown interest in the new crop and will be contracted, he said. USED IN FLAVORING A green vegetable used exten- sively for flavoring canned soups, okra has formerly been brought to the Canadian plant of the com- pany in brime tanks from their Camden, New Jersey, plant but efforts to preserve Canada's for- eign exchange have influenced the company to cncourage large scale growth of the vegetable in Canada.

Hot Spots Are Found In Sky Heat Reflected From Stars Twice That of Sun: Gas Very Thin Celestial hot spots, where the b. temperature of seemingly empty space Is 20,000 degrees, or twice the sun's surface heat, have been discovered recently. Dr. Walter S. Adams, director of Mt. Wilson * Pasadena, -Calif,, ob- sorvatory, home of the world's largest telescope, "described the findings in a report to the NXstron- omical Society of the Pacific, REFLECTED FROM STARS The hot spots' are huge clouds of thinly scattered gas.
