Canada's Great Mineral Wealth Dominion Has Biggest Al uminum Plant In World In days qf peace Canada was noted as a veritable storehouse of mineral wealth, writes J. M., in The Windsor Star. Her gold, nickel, copper and other produc. " tlon made her an envied nation. » The Dominion has turned her mineral wealth almost exclusively to the uses of war, and, except i perhaps for gold, there has been a demand for all types of minerals, . . & demand which Canada has diffi W culty in meeting. ' ; We have, of course, the biggest aluminum plant in the world, though the'-base metal for alum. | num, bauxite, comes largely from British Guiana and elsewhere in the Caribbean area, We are now, insofar as knowledge - goes, the greatest producer of aluminum in the world. ! $ In 1941, Canada's nickel and cop- per production, largely centred in the Sudbury area, which has the most Important deposits 'of nickel in the entire world, was -the highest on record. In 1942, the increase in production of these metals will be . measured in tens of millions of | pounds, | : More Zino There will be a proportlenate in- crease in production of zine and "other metals necessary for war, The only limit §s in the deposits avall- able and abllity to utilize them. ' Possibly the most interesting de-- velopment, due to the war, 1s not fn respect to nickel, copper, aluml- num, or other metals for which Canada was noted, In respect of them jt was merely a problem of expanding production. Under the stress of war, this Dominion is now producing, or soon will be producing, a wide range of metals which we did net ordinarily " turn out, some of which, In fabt, og wo did not know we hadi. --. We have been able to Let plat num gs a by-product of the nickel copper matte at Sudbury. True, some was obtained in pre-war days, but it .is now being turned out in- sizable quantities. More platinum is being derived from the black sands of British Columbia and from the residue from gold refining at Trail -In the same province. ' Tungsten, a. rare metal usually imported. from China, has been found in the Yukon and British & ; Columbia, and when peace returns <h the Dominion may he self-suflicient in this important commodity. + Chrome Chrome has been found in British : Columbia, In the Bird River district of Manitoba, and In the Eastern Townships of Quebec. _Develop- ment work is proceeding apace. Molyhdenite, the ore of molyh- . ~ denum, has been found in South. eastern Manitoba and in the On- tarlo-Quebec area, with the Gov- ernment flpancing development. Magnesium, by a Canadian-de- veloped process, is being produced i near Renfrew, Ontarlo, In large quantities, In a Government-owned plant. ' Most important of all mineral } ) . developments, however, in Canada, ! due to the war, fs that of Steep Rock Lake, where many millions are belng spent on the deposits of high-grade iron ore there. The Dominion has always been | deficlent in high-grade iron ore. | Whén the Steep Rock project is { - + completed, we will have enough fine steel to meet all our peacetime requirements, and possibly some for export. It Is heing rushed ahead now to get it into production for- war purposes. Importance of the Steep Rock development is also a i accented by the approaching ex- |[- haustion of the high-grade iron ores in the Mesaba Range In Min- . nesota, There, experts say, the \ shipment of around 100,000,000 tons a year down the lakes to or United States steel plants will bring an end to the kind of mining carried on there in a comparatively few years.

John 6:35, Memory Verse: We , . . are 2 Corinthians 1:24, ITS SETTING events of this ronth of April, THE LESSON, Time.--All th chapter fall in th A.D. 29, ; _ " Place.--The, feeding kf the five thousand took place at Bethsaida, on the shore of Galilee, while the walking on the -sea was, of oourse, on the same body of water. The sermon on the Bread of Life was delivered in the syna- gogue of Capernaum. = . "One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him; There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these amoiig s0 many? Jesus said, Make the much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand." The vast assem- blage was thus sub-divided and broken up into manageable por- tions. The apostles were able to pags' easily up and down wgmong the groups, and to minister in or- derly succession to the necessities of all. Divine Omnipotence 'Jesus therefore took the loaves. And having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would." "We must be content to behold in this multiplying of the bread an act of divine omnipotence -- not indeed now as at first, of absolute creation out. of nothing, since there was a substratum to work on in the original loaves and fishes, but. pan 'act of creative growth; a quantitative, as in the water turned into wine there was a qualitative, miracle, the bread growing in the Lord's hands, so that from that little stock all the multitude were abundantly sup- plied. ) ' A Visible Symbol "And when they were filled, he eaith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which re- main over, that nothing be lost. So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten." With the Lord of nature, as with nature herself, the most-prodigal bounty goes hand in hand with the nicest and exactest economy; and He who had but now shown Himself God, again submits Himself to the laws and proprieties of His earthly condition, so that as in the mir- acle itself His power, in this com- mand His humility, shines emin- ently forth. This which remained people sit down. Now there was - over must have immensely ex-' ceeded in bulk and quantity the original stock; and we thus have -. here a visible symbol of that love which exhauts not itself by lov- ing; but after all its "outgoings upon others, abides itself far richer than it would have done but for these; of the multiplying which there ever is in a true dis- pensing; of the increasing which may go along with a scattering. Teachings of John "When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world." John tells us later that he wrote - his Gospel that men might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, they might have life through his name hd (20:31). All through his book he: continually keeps in mind the effects of the miracles, and the matchless teaching of the Lord Jesus, upon those who behold His acts and hear His words, "They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it Is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat." How so-called seckers after religious truth made innumerable foolish demands, postponing the hour of real decision, demanding evidence In the religious realm which they would never require in any other sphere of life! In spite of the fact that these people knew with certainty of the great miracle which Jesus had just performed In feeding the five thousand, they asked Him to produce further signs, which would be capable of proving that He was what He claimed to be, the Sent One of God. To support their demand they mentioned the great miracle of the wilderness wanderings" in which their prophet Moses had ob- tained for them from the hands of God sufficient daily food (manna) for - their sustenance during forty years, The Bread of Life "Jesiis therefore said unto®" them, Verily verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the (rue HORIZONTAL "Answer to Previcus Puzzle 16 He was it sews 1, 7 Great MALY | OWER|ICIAR by belief, .

For the bread of God is/that which com- eth down out of heaven, and giv- eth life unto the world. They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. Jesus said unto_them, 1 am the "bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." At this point our Lord attempts to lift up His listeners once again from the level of Yinas material, to which their rinds seem to be held, to higher levels of spiritual reality; telling | them clearly: that while under Moses they did have bread mira- culously bestowed, yet it was only "for their physic¢al needs, but that now the Father was giving them the true bread from hetwven. Bread is the word which symbolizes the great elemental necessity of life called food. That food must be eaten by all men, if life is to be sustained, every one recognizes, but Christ' also insists on another/truth, that, as men with bodies' must, have physical food, so, because they have a soul, if they are to truly live and to have life that is eter- nal, a life that satisfies, a life that fs rich, they must likewise partake of another bread, which is He Himself, the Bread of life. There. are men today who do not confess to any spiritual hunger, and pretend to get on without God, without divine revelation, without prayer, without sacrifice, without the forgiveness of sin, There are millions of sueh men, But these men are not living abundant, rich, satisfying lives of peace, and power, and purity, Life that is life, life that satisfies, is life that comes through the Lord Jesus Christ. - Here, as in so many , other places in the Gospels, our Lord continually talks about life, meaning fundamental spiritual life, and declares that that life is only to be found in Him. Japan May | Feel Big Quake Soon Major Earthquakes Shook Japan In 1923, 1933 -- What About 1943? t Yt the aw of probability means what statisticians think it docs, Japan. may experience a sevére earthquake within the next year or so, said Fordham University's seismological authority, Rev. J. 8S. Lynch, S.J, sn--n recent General Electrie Forum, The last major Japanese earth- quake occurred in 1933 and exacted a toll of 3.000 lives. A predecessor, strangely enough, shook Japan in 1923. Will the next be in 19437? According to Father Lyneh the three worst recent quakes In the main islands were those of 1891, 1923, and 1027. . . . In 1801 the main {sland of Japan * was practically broken in two. Cracks were observed clear across the island from the Sea of Japan on the left to the Pacific Ocean -on the right. About 8,000 lives were lost. The next hig quake. which oe- curred in 1923, took 100,000 lives. It: actually occurred some miles oft shore, but such was its Intens- fty that in some places the coast slipped six feet. "Tle third big quake of 1927 the Tango earthquake--occurred on the main Island some 100 miles south of the 1841 quake," said Father Lynch. "It caused horizon- tal slips .amounting to cight feet and extending 50 miles in from the Sea of Japan." Because the region was not densely populated only 3,000 lives were lost. . - - All these anakes showed visible surface effects. The main belt of Japanese quakes, however, runs along the Pacific side of the main Island some distance off shore. One of the most disastrous ef- fects of off-shore quikes Ig the huge water wave. At Sanriku, a small island off shore, water waves caused 30,000 deaths in 1896 and 3,000 in 1933. . Formosa (Taiwan), the munitions storehouse of Japan, has a belt of quakes cutting across the. middle of the island. In this helt some 4,000 people were killed in 1935; other quakes of first magnitude in the belt occurred in 1920 and 1922. The strength of Britain's home guard is approximately 2,000,000 armed men, "mosphere, shall we agree, for the "show. - Another ------ RE 2 A | RADIO REPO Overhead the rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat- tat of machine guns... the sharp crackling burst of shrapnel . , . and then . . . c-r-u-m-p-p-p . . . the. building shivers, .. a cloud of dust ; .". and the clattering on the roof of bricks and debris, Can you imagine anybody wanting to think up a radio programme amid the sickening thud of bombs, the whistling of anti-aircraft shells and the noisy collapse of falling rubblée? Not a very inspiring at- thoughtful origination of an air ¢ But it actually happened during a devastating air raid in London on April 28th, 1941. To take their minds off the horror of the moment, a group of people, including a prominent official of the C.B.C. were sitting in a Lon- don restaurant that awful night of a heavy blitz calmly discussing what happens to ordinary people when war drives a wedge into their lives. And s0 came into being a radio family known as the Robinsons , . . the inspiration of that series heard nightly over the C.B.C, b pan. except Saturday and Sunday, known as "Front Yine Family." In the carly days it was easy to get material for "Front Line Family" as some of the most dramatic London raids took place soon after the ecrial started. A number of the actors came to the microphone swathed in bandages, mute evidence of their actual experiences in the trial and tervor of those fright- ful days. There is nothing far fetehed about the Robinson Fam- ily and its adventures. Many a family in Britain has had similar experiences. All have met these experiences with a similar sense of humour and endurance. Here is a programme which every Can- adian family should listen to. In the quiet tranquility of the Cane adian scene it brings some under. standing, somesppreciation of the terror which fstalks abroad in the Europe of today. * v . "CERB" said the girl on the 'switchboard. "Say," said a voice on the other end_of the line "who* are these guys Woodhouse and Hawkins, who are pulling the wisecracks - over your station?" The enquiry followed the CFRB "Ontario Caravan" broadeast one Thursday evening recently 9 to 9.30. "Just a moment" said the phone girl "I'l put you through to them." There was. a brief pause. Then a voice on the line brief pause , . very brief. "I want to speak to Wood- house and Hawkins" said the en- quiring radio listener, "0K." was the reply . . . "this is Wood- house." "I thought you said Mac- "made i Australi and are RTER &¥x rrost + + + "This is MacGregor talking." gregor," slapped back from the ear-piece" . ., and so continued the conversation, So here's ane swering a few of the questions that roll in at CFRB about Woods house and Hawkins, . those two jovial funsters who set the pace and laughter during the Ontario Caravan programmes and the "Double orf Nothing" show, "Woodhouse" in ordinary life is plain Art MacGregor who hails from the Land o' the Heather, , . Aberdeen to be precise, And his partner "Hawkins" , .. Frank Deaville in plain clothes, hails from Victoria, B.C. In addition to being a very clever comedy team Art and Frank, as they are affectionately called in radio cir- cles, are individually very fine character actors. Just tune in some time and see if you can guess who plays the part of Mr, MceGillicuddy, Mr. Percival Wooley, Mr. McHayloft, Mr.. G. Howie Blotz, Mr, Iva Gardener, Mr. G. I.

Down in the good old U.S.A. all manufacturers of radio sets have banded together with the object of turning out a standard radio set manufactured on one basie and simple design. Not elaborate. No gadgets. Just wartime simplicity . , , a sturdy set built for durability . . . a set for the "duration." In the past five or six years, there were over 1,000 different types of radio re- ceivers on the market. Now they're to boil them all down to one standard set. Tt will be some job, vou say.
