__frlend's family, When The Press Stopped Rolling People of Town Without . Newspaper Missed Local News . Editor and Publisher tells about an important city In Pennsylvania which, due to a strike, was with- out a daily, newspaper for 10 months, from December, 1941, to _ October, 1942. The city was Chest. er, 80,000 population serving a ters . ritory of 350,000 people, now a centre of huge shipbuilding and other war industries. A strike oc- curred in the plant and it was shut down just before U.S, entered the * war. Pearl Harbor happened, but the big presses were silent, Business Fell Off OIt wasn't the world news that the people missed so much. They could get that, a little later may- be, but eventually they would learn what was happening. But it was in the field of local news that there was a blackout. John Smith inquired about the health of a neighbor only to learn: that he had been burled a week ago. Who mar- ried whom, blessed events in a the state of the church, the lodge the school--these were all a blank. Merchants tried "throw-aways", but that is just what they. were--they contained no local news nor news of the district, no news of friends and rolatives, that made them worth picking off the front porch. Business fell off and went to larger clties nearby desplte the influx of war workers. Some merchants were forced to close their stores. "I used to make fun of our "Times"," said one wealthy citizen. "I never will again. I miss it too much." . It was a:blackout for that im. 'portant community. 10 Months In Dark Politicians 'with queer ideas oft- en try to make votes by saying harsh things about newspapers. But they couldn't do that today In Chester, Pa. The people know now what they missed when the big press stopped rolling. They spent 10 months in the dark. But now the Chester Times has resumed publication. And It has a circula- tion today 3,000 larger than when it suspended. The people of Chest- er and community - know their newspaper is an important cog in their community enterprise, and everything that helps to make a community a going concern. Plan For Meeting Farm Labor Need Farmers Might Be Encourag- ed To Move From Poor Farms To More Productive Areas One of the proposals of the gov- ernment for meeting the great need for farm labor Is to encourage men to move from poor farms where they are making a bare living, to more productive districts where they can earn the best wages ever pald for farm labor, says the Win- nipeg Free Press. They are ex- perienced farmers, just the kind of men who are wanted. "Fifty thousand United States farmers are being moved this year under such a plan, the govern- _ ment paying transportation. costs and giving other assistance. Men are going to be moved from bar- ren mountain farms in Kentucky to dairy districts in New England, from poor to good areas in Mls- ".gourl, and the same in Ohlo, Ni nois, Wisconsin and other states. Canada's Ploneer Farms In. Canada, the census of 1941 showed that, of the total of 734, 736 farms, 100,337 were' classed as "pioneer farms," There i8 no pro- duct which they market to any large extent. They keep enough stock to meet the family 'needs, and .the-men work out at times to get a little ready money, Their Jand {8 poor or only partly clear- ed. In Manitoba, there are farms like this in the bush land south- east of Winnipeg and in the north- ern part of the province, as also in the northern parts of Saskatch- ewan 'and Alberta; By actively encouraging and as- sisting those farmers to move, for thelr own profit as well as for the increasing of food production now so urgently needed, it should be possible to secure many' thous- ands of men for the more produc. tive farms where their labors will really .count, * : "Huns Ship French In Freight Cars German SS. and regular troops were. reported to be rounding up Frenchmen for forced labor by house-to-house raids in Lyon and other districts, in some cases seiz- ing Frenchmen and shipping them off to Germany by freight ear- "toad lots without allowing them to communicate' with their famijl-" fes. 1 The Nazis led details of French' ipolice 'in 'house:to:house night raids, and fear was expressed that even women '18 to 86 years old ° might be mobilized for work in Germany, advices reaching Berne reported, 5 . 2:17) that they, "were not as the many who falsi- Girls in England man the spotter, height finder, predictor and radio location, guns, and the men load and fire them."

The Transfiguration "And after six days, Jesus tak- eth with him Peter, and James, and John. And bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was trans- figured before them." The word here transfigured is the Greek word metamorphoo, *from which comes our word metamorphis, The root of this word morphoo means to mold into a form, so that the compound word, which here ap- pears, means to - chahge the form of, to alter. ferring to our own transformation, which is spiritual (and not physi- cal as the Lord's) in 2 Corinthians 8:18, and Romans 12:2. The word does not simply mean an external change, but an actual inner and external change. "And his garments became glis- tening, exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten them." When the disciples looked at the countenance of Jesus they looked at a refulgence as' brilliant and dazzling as the sun itself. And this extended to His entire form, for His very garments had the translucent whiteness of pure light. Peter's Proposal "And there appeared unto. them Elijah with Moses: and they wers- talking with Jesus. And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three taber- nacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, For he knew not what to answer; for they became sore afraid." Peter -and his fellows were so taken with what they saw that they de- sired to abide on the mount with Jesus and the saints. When the apostle Peter speaks of taber- nacles, he means those little booths or huts such as were con- structed for the Feast of Taber- nacles, made out of branches ot trees or bushes, The Voice From Heaven "And there came a cloud over- shadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is -my beloved Son: hear ye him," The essential difference between this voice and that which was heard at the baptism, is the phrase, 'Hear ye him.' The words are from Deuterénomy 8:16, 19, and seem to be suggested by the appearance of Moses, The Prophet like unto Moses is identified with the Christ, the beloved or elect Son; the allegiance due to Moses is now, with Moses' concurrence, transferred to Jesus, The Coming of the Lord "For we did not follow cun- ningly devised fables." The ex- pression agrees with the calm de- claration of 'St. Paul (2 Cor, the apostles, fled or misrepresented the Word of God. : "When we made known unto 'you the power and coniing of our Lord Jesus Christ." Many schol- ars believe that the word 'com. ing' refers to the first advent of our Lord but probably 'the com- ing' here, as in every other pas- sage of the New Testament in which the word occurs, is-the see- ond advent, not the first. Holy Ground "For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am "well pleased: and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of It is found re- heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount." We learn here why the apostles were taken with Jesus to witness * -His transfiguration. Just before that event we find (Matt. 16:21; Mark 8131; Luke 9:22) it record ed that Jesus had begun to show unto His disciples how He must suffer and die at Jerusalem, To Peter, who, as at other times, was the mouthpiece of the rest, such a declaration was unacceptable} ,. but at his expression of displeas. ure he met the rebuke, 'Get thee behind me, Satan.' He, and the rest with him, felt no doubt that such a death as Jesus had spoken of would be, humanly speaking, the ruin of their hopes. Now these three representatives of the apostolic band behold Moses ana * Elias appearing in glory, and Christ glorified more than they; and the subject of which they spake was the very death of which * they had sb disliked to hear; the . decease which He was about to accomplish in Jerusalem (Luke 9: 81). The verb which the evanie- list uses tells of the fulfillment of a prescribed course, and thus Peter was taught, and the vest with him, to speak of that death afterwards as he does in his for- mer letter. 'Christ was verily work 'before the foundation of "the world.' They heard that He who was to die was the very Son of God. God's voice had been heard thére attesting the divinity of their Lord and Master; the place whereon they had thus stood was for evermore holy ground, All The King's Men And Horses To Help All the King's horses and all the King's men are to be-used in bringing in this year's harvest on the Royal estate at Windsor, 26 miles west of London, Many extra acres have been put under cultivation at Windsor, and there will be plenty of work for the horses, including the fa- mous Windsor grays which drew the golden coach in the Corona- tion of George VI in 1037, There also will be work for members of the Royal staff, who ab the King's express wish this year will "lend a hand" in the harvesting.

Roll Up Your Sleeves And Dig "Better come out in the sunshine and hoe vegetables" say British gardeners "than walt in a queue for them and then find the shop sold out." This year Canadians are belng asked by the Agricultural' Supplies Board of the Dominion Department of Agriculture to "come out in the sunshine and hoe." Family and Community vegetable gardens are going to be the fashionable thing * this season and it's time to start plans now. . The Government is sponsoring this campaign for a number of reasons, Transportation is becom: ing more of a problem which meaiis that there maybe difficulty in supplxing mark gwith fresh vege- tables, grown at a distance. Com- mercial growers are 'faced with a labor shortage that will in many cases provent their expanding to take care of increased needs. More vegetables are needed for ship. ment overseas, by way of the de- hydration plants. The vegetable geed supply is better this year and the essential tools' for home gard- ening, rakes, hoes, digging-forks and spades are also available, as are fertilizers. In community gav- dens and among neighbors larger tools can be shared. Community Potato Gardens Advice as to crops, fertilizer and care of gardens will be available locally. Regarding crops,--the rovernment authorities advise that potatoes are best grown in com- munity gardens where proper at- tention can be given to spraying or dusting, onions, beans, peas, corn, cab- bage, lettuce, spingel, and swiss chard are all suiti®leé for either home or community gardens. The more vegetables that are grown in home and community gardens this year, the better Can- ada will be able to feed her arm- ed forces and her allies, Let's all get ready, roll up our sleeves and dig for Victory.

" but tomatoes, carrots, [RADIO REPORTER & most | On Sunday, March 21st, Prime Minister Winston Churchill used the world wide facilities of radio to give some indication of his vision of a post war future. In- cluded in his comment were sev- eral considerations particularly of interest to those who listened to his speech in rural Canada and the United States. Said the Brit- ish Prime Minister . . . "During the war , . . the position of the farmer 'has been improved / . I hope to sce a vigorous revival of healthy village life on the basis of higher wages and of improved housing . J. And what with mod- ern methods of locomotion and the modern amusements of the cinema and wireless to which will soon be added television, life in the country and on the land ought to compete. in attractiveness with life in the great cities. , ." . . . Wireless, or as we know it better in Canada, radio, undoubt- edly has made a tremendous con- tribution to the enjoyment of liv- ing in the rural sections and small towns of the Dominion. Improve- ments in the design and capacity of radio receivers in recent years have made possible the bringing of news, education and entertain- ment directly into the most -re- mote homes and settlements in the backwoods of civilization, And now Mr. Churchill promises that television will- come into vogue shortly after the war is over. He might also have promised a new type of radio receiver based upon research in the field of. what is known as "frequency mo- dulation." But for the tact that war has diverted the energies of radio technicians and manufactur- ers into spheres which have a direct relation to the military ~dtruggle, frequency modulation and television would likely have been with us now. Frequency mo- dulation employs a new technique, in broadcasting and receiving which virtually eliminates all in- torference from static and other forms of electrical distortion , , It cuts out the erackling, whist« ling and other harsh noises which have interrupted the enjoyment of radio reception in the past when the weather has been une favourable or there has been in. terference from nearby electrical transformers, power lines and other equipment, Frequency mo- dulation therefore,. will be the thing of the future, . . . . od Television even before the out- break of war was an'accomplished fact in Britain, United States and Germany. When your Radio Re- porter was in London, England, a - few months prior to the outbreak of world war No. 2, he saw a demonstration of television which illustrated that it was quite pos- sible to transmit moving pictures, outdoor sports events and studio programmes which could be re- ceived . with reasonable clearness at a distance of about 25 miles from the huge B.B.C, television transmitter at the Alexandra Palace in London. Also<in Ber- lin he was given an opportunity to see the advance which had been made in Germany in this new branch of radio. In Great Britain the B.B.C, was transmitting morn- ing and evening programmes for the benefit of those who had treated themselves to the luxury of a television receiver. A. com- bined radio receiver, television screen and phonograph player could be purchased in the British capital at a cost from 3200 up. As soon as the war is over tele- vision is likely to invade North America on a broad scala. TEACHING A HORSE ENGLISH A man we know bought a small farm from a Japanese.
