w._..hOys and girls... --] 50, 000 Extra Men Needed For West Prairle Farmers Plan To Ut Ilize School * Children and White Collar Men 1U's zero hour on the prairies, Dur fog the next few weeks harvesting operations throughout the West will test success of a campaign In which western leaders have at- tempted to mobilize on an unprece- dented = scale their war-depleted farm labor reserves. : First unofficial estimates of the Western Canada grain yleld place it at more than 1,300,000,000 bush- 'els, although' wheat and coarse grain production In the West last year totalled only 598,000,000 bush- els. With the tremendous new crop almost an actuality, it is estimated 50,000 additional farm hands must be found for the harvest. Saskatchewan Needs 30,000 Saskatchewan estimates 30,000 new hands are required. Unofticial Alberta estimates are for between 10,000 and 12,000 and it is likely Manitoba will require at least 8,000. Faced with a great labor short. ago because of the manpower drain. ~ed-into-the armed forces and war industry, Western farmers plan to utilize school children, women, white-collar workers from towns and cities, reservation Indians and Japanese evacuated from the Pa- cific Coast. School Children To Help In all three provinces, arrange- ments have been completed for either postponing high school and college openings In September or _ providing for such postponement should It prove necessary, In most districts, school children are beiig urged to help, and in the Winni- peg district letters will be mailed to schoolboys and rallies will be held to enlist maximum labor re- serves, Although the advisability of putting city men, with no farm ex- porience, to work in the fields has been questioned by some leaders, it scoms certain the business man's direct - contribution will be _great In all .three provinces. Re- ports say it is likely some towns will have to shut up shop entirely at the height of the harvest.

"Now the men---of -Sodom- were wicked: and sinners against Jehovah exceedingly." This verse is simply an indictment of Sodom because of its awful sinfulness. 28. "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 upon 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" bé that He 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 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 that He has the power to destroy those who live in Shameless re- bellion against His holy laws, The Foes of Israel 81.

Therefore shall they now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry "of them that stretehed 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 (8256-784 B.C.), an age of military victories and great prosperity, yet at the 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 transgressjons so. pre- valent in Israel, were found to be taking it easy on Zion. - One of _.the most _.terrible-- characteristics --f of these evil men, leaders though they were, was their refusal to seriously recognize that inevitably a day of judgment and divine wrath must cone to Israel for her continued * disobedience.

May Be Necessary A To Ration Butter | Possibility of a shortage of but- ter in Canada after the present season of heavy production ends was pictured by the Agricultural Supplies Board in a press release which said rationing might be necessary unless farmers see to it that sufficient supplies are available, "Butter for the domestic mar- ket appears to be the dairy prod- uct which might be 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 ereameries for the manufacture of creamery butter became effective July 6, and a campaign is under way for ine creased butter production, parti- enlarly during the coming wine 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 this winter the emphasis should he on butter. "It is to the interest of Cana- dian farmers to sce that butter is available in ample supply to vheet reasonable demand? as otherwise - action may be ned@Sary either in the way of rationing butter or of supplementing supplies."
