3 iif J Humor In Poland "Lives And Stings Nida iund Yen Makes Jokes Almed "At Nazis The Polish capital's humor stings eharply at the Germans, Walls in Warsaw have been cov- ered with posters showing a Ger- man goldlgr clad In a woman's fur . ¢oat and fox scarf and carrying A muff, The inscription under the " plcture reads: "Now 1 am sure to win." The official German propaganda posters, widely distributed through- out the occupied countries, claim: "Deutschland slegt an allen Fron- ten" ("Germany 1s victorious on ell fronts"). Counter-posters, somewhat similar In appearance' to the German ones, but bearing the "V" sign, have been pasted over the city's walls; their word- ing, too, is a little different: "Deutschland stirbt an allen Fron-- ten" ("Germany is dying on all fronts"). The sentence is repeated in Polish, : The Nazl authorities frequently bar Poles from admission to specl- fied places, such as motion picture theatres, coffee-houses, and res- taurants, Polish children are bar- red from all the playgrounds, To make these ordinances known' to tho public, the Germans mark all places from which Poles are bar- red with the noticé: "Nur fur Deutsche" ("For Germans only"), In eloquent retallation, the Poles have marked most of the trees and lamp-posts In Warsaw with the same inscription. Even the underground press abounds In jokes. A January issue of one of them carries the follow- Ing note: "With reference to the Germans' recent plunder of civil. lang' furs, an order Is expected shortly concerning thelr distribu- ton. German generals stalled 'near Moscow will receive capes of silver foxes; colonels. will be given as- trakhans; other officers -- geal turs; non-commissioned officers-- mantles of squirrel-fur; and the Sl of course, will get the eepskins. i "The General Governor, Dr. Frank, will recelve an evening toat of ermine; and the Fuehrer, who is modest and patient, will wilt for the British Queen's chin- shilla mantle.

Nazis Are Training Many Glider Troops An estimate that between 12,- 000 and 18,000 glider and para- chute troops are trained: yearly by the Germans was made only recently by the United States War Department in a report on Nazi air-borne war operations, These are in addition to glider pilots, and to air-borne infantry, which are troops simply assigned- for air transportation. From the attention devoted to this phase of air training, the War Department said, it was evident the Nazi high command' considers gliders a vital part of aerial in. vasion tactics. - A German glider regiment, the report said, has three battalions of 'four. companies each, Three of the companies are armed with | rifles and the fourth with heavier weapons such as machine guns and mortars. Each regiment also has a 13th company equipped with - 76-mm, howitzers and a 14th eompany armed with 87-mm, anti: tank weapons. The gliders "usually are towed pingly or in pairs, although the report said 'larger tows may be used. The ordinary glider for tactical 'use carries ten fully- 'armed soldiers. One larger glider on which 'fairly complete" in- formation was obtained is the Gotha,r a high-wing monoplane -§.. with 99-foot wing span which accommodates twenty-three fully equipped soldiers.

Palestine, northeast of Jerusalem, God's Covenant With Abram 1. "Now Jehovah said unto 'Abram, Get thee out of thy count- ry, and from thy kindred, and " from thy father's house, unto the land that 1 will show thee." The call of Abram consists of a com- mand and a promise. The com- mand is to leave the place of his old and fond associations for-a- land which he had not seen, and, therefore, did not know. Abram' has entire faith in the reason- ableness of what God proposes. So with reason and faith he is willing to go to the unknown land, Israel's Greatness 2(a) "And I will make of thee a great nation." Isracl's great- ~ness is not to be found in num- bers. She has never been one of tho Jarge nations of the world, She was great in giving birth to who were the greatest religious teach- ers of all ancient history. She was great in that she gave birth to the Messiah, ' Father..of the Faithful 2(b) ""And'I will bless thee and make thy name great." The greatness of his name is acknowl- edged by/every man, He, above all characters in the Old Testa- ment, is honored by Jew, Gentile and Mohammedan, He is refer- red to more often in the New Testament than any other char- acter of the Old Covenant. He is called the Father of the Faith ful. God's Blessing } 2(c) "And be thou a blessing." All who came into the right re- lagionship with Abram person- ally were blessed because of that , relationship. = 8(a). "And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse." The Lord calls those who have been kind to Israel 'Ye blessed of my Father', and those who have been cruel to Israel, he refers to 'as* 'the cursed'. 3(b). "And in thee shall all the families of the earth be bles- " sed." The great blessing that has come to the nations of the earth is the Lord Jesus Christ, who was the Son of Abram, the Son of ' David and the Son of Maty, Abram's Departure 4. "So, Abram went, as Jeho- vah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old . when he. depared out of Haran, 5. And Abram took Sarah his wife, 'and Lot, his brother's son, and' all their substances that they had gathered, and the souls that they gotten in Haran} and they went forth to go into the land of Can~ aan, and into the land of Canaan they came, 6, And Abram passed through the land into the place of Sechem, .unto-the odk of Morch. And the Canaanite was then in the land." Abram departed, We do not hear of any complaints or questions, hut only of hig act. Duties ave urd, events are. God's, and we have nothing to do with' that over which we have no con- 'trol. When God speaks we must speed, The callings of God never leave a man where they "find him, for to stay where he Is, after God has bidden him to move on, js itself a backward move- ment, though he take no_actual step. The further Abram went from home and kindred the nearer he came to God. Not that home and kindred are hindrances to His nearness, except when we cling to them instead of to Him, Obedi- . ence must Qe absolute; when Abram left Haran he left nothing - behind him, purposing never to return, a purpose which he main- tained. Jehovah Appeared . 7. "And Jehovah appeared unto Abram and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land; and there builded he an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared unto him." Here for the first time appears the re- markable phrase, 'Jehovah ap- peared'. It indicates that the Lord presents himself to the con- sciousness of man in any way suitable to his nature. It Is not confined to the sight, but may refer to the hearing. "(1 Sam, 8:15). . The Journey Continued - 8. "And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethél on the west and Ai on the east; and there he builded an altar unto Jehovah, and called upon the name of Je- hovah. 9, And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south." From his encampment at Shechem to the neighborhood of Bethel, then called Luz. The Canaardics may have regarded with suspicion this stranger from a far country, and made his position in the opén valley insecure; or the necessity of finding fresh pasturage for his numerous flocks and herds may have obliged him to change his quarters to the mountainous dist- rict between Bethel and Ai, towns about two miles apart. The site of Bethel, now Beitin, has never been lost. The village stands some ten miles north of Jerusa- lem, on the great watershed which divides the country, and from it a steep "incline leads down to Jeri- cho eighl miles distant, be Sugar Ration Coupons Sugar ration coupons are good any time after their Individual maturity dates, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board said re- cently. The board said that while the first coupon could not be used - before July 1, tho second before July 13, the third before July 217, the fourth before August 10 and the fifth before August 24, all the coupons are valid at any time after their maturity dates. However, all the @upons can- not be used at once, officials pointed - out, because the sugar ration regulations provide that no one shall have more than two weeks' supply of sugar on hand at_any one 'time, Australia's Population Australia showed a population gain of 68,532 during 1941, The total population is 7,137,221. ™ "THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson PORCUPINE QUILLS, OYED IN BRIGHT COLORS, AFFORDED STRIKING E DECORATIONS FOR THE CLOTHING "OF PRIMITIVE INDIANS.

Lack Of Metals To Close Plants Only Essential Civillan n- dustrles To Get Preference A 'new priorities system has been established in Washington to cope with a North American supply situation which Munitions Minister Howe says 1s so cr tical "hundreds" of (Canadian manu-. facturers will be unable to obtain enough raw: materlals from the United States to keep thelr plants running. y "The zero hour fs coming," Mr, . Howe sald last week in a state ment announcing the new alloca- tion set-up, "when manufacturers will be unable-to obtain sufficlent steel, non-ferrous metals and other materials." Supply Situation Critical Officially designated the Pro- duction. Requirements Plan, the new system sets definite quotas for all manufacturers using more than 6,000 worth of metals in a "quarter of the calendar year. Ev- ery manufacturer so qualifying must turn in a report giving his inventory, what he uses the ma- terlal for and how much he needs for the next quarter year. Manufacturers of civilian artie- les will be supplied after war in- dustrles have been provided with necessary raw imaterlals, process. ed parts, machinery and repair paris, ' _ This means, Mr, Howe said, that in many cases "they will get noth- ing." Only clvilian industries es- sentlal to a nation at war would be glven "any preference." Supply Not Guaranteed W. E.

There would be no change In existing procedure for a fow special classes of companies, such ag those engaged In transpor- "tation; construction, 'mining, the petroleum industry and public ut- lity services. "Every large user of metal will be required to obtain a quarterly authorization for all scarco ma- terlal F@quirements under the Pro- duction Requirements Plan," Mr, Uren said, warning that a rating under the plap did not necessar- fly guarantee delivery. "Actual shipments of United States niater- als will be governed by month-to- month decisions of the War Pro- duction.

The collecting of birds' eggs and nests, a common hobby in years gone by, Is fortunately rarely prac- ticed today. Education of the pub- --lle along the, proper lines and the enforcing of government legisla- tion have succeeded in making this old time hobby almost as rare as the coon shoots and husking bees of ploncer days, Rarely does the collector of birds' eggs cor- rectly label his collection with the name of the bird, location of nest, helght of nest, kind of tree it was In, and all those other de- tails which make It of scientific value. Instead, he gathers up a, lot of valuable eggs, probably keeps them loosely in a few cigar boxes, and when his collecting is finished he still possesses abaolute- ly nothing of Interest or value, The collecting of eggs and dis- turbing of nests is prohibited by tho Migratory Birds Conventions Act and breaking of this law can be strictly punished by law. Any- one engaged In eclentific study can secure a permit to collect the eggs . of migratory birds It his case is poven to be a worthy one. ont = The useless collecting of birds' eggs by young people should be dlscouraged whenever It crops up. Orie of the best ways of curblng the practice Is to encourage the youngster to take photographs of nests and to keep detailed notes of the nest building, egg laying and development of the young. That would be a much more useful and RADIO REPORTER / DIALING WITH DAVE: Phillips H.

Recently, he starred as "The Farmer" in the first program in Stephen Vincent Benet's "Dear Adolf" series, (NBC-Red Sundays at 5.00 p.m.) Star of "Abe Lincoln", "Can- dida"" and other stage and screen plays, Massey's part in the recent play was more or less tailored to measure.

There's some excuso for an occasional lapse; it happens to everybody, But Bin Stern, ace sportscaster, is proud to have you know that he has hig guest star set for the August §th broadcast of his famous "Sports Newsreel", It's Corneliug McGillicuddy, otherwise and more familigrly known as Connie Mack, belovéd dean of organized base- ball. Every year the genial Mr, Mack, as'youngsters on the Phila« delphia Athletics call him, makes _ an appearance on Stern's show, It's usually his only radio show of the year, so sports fans cagers ly wait for the date. Some very human happenings in local as well as national radio bring back to mind the fact that radio personalities and stars -- writers, producers and voices", aro human beings like the rest of us, And often it is coincidence that impresses this fact strongly on our minds. Take, for instance, the caso of the militant "Woman Who Speaks on War" each Mone day night at 11.16 from CKOQ in Hamilton. On July 10th she celebrated the completion of two years on the air, fighting for freedom with her pen and her voice. On the preceding Friday, her 22-year-old son received his .wings at Trenton, taking to the air to fight for freedom. Thus, tho story--and thus moro fight and spunk than ever in each Mone day 11.16 p.m. broadcast from machinery. the woman who speaks on war, = y TORONTO STATIONS | CKKAO Montreal 730k SIIORT WAVR FID 860k, CHL 740k { CIKL Kirkund 1. 600k | Gi gogland 9.31m KCL 850k, COV 1010k | CKCIt Waterloo LINK] (5G Eagland® 085m US.
