X HS POR hey a Se ha ha LIN 7 RY INR : BE pa EN nich | Blitz Or No Blitz Paper Published Despite Malta's 3,241 alerts and the ferocious bombings of Valetta, despite two separate bombings of its building and one fire, the Times of Malta has not missed a single day's publication, says Rich. BaP" ynond B, Mowrer, Tabloid size and - reduced to four pages (eight on Sundays), Malta's English-lang- vage néwspaper not only came oft the press every day but was de- Hvered even during the heaviest blitz' days to the island's ack-ack positions, town and villages. 'Following one rald thd paper wad a bit late getting out -- the lnotype machines had to be clean. ed because rock dust had blown all over 'them after a bomb had crashed through four storeys of the Times' building, Another time, two bombs landed 40 feet from the linotype machines but the inter. vening walls saved them, Follow- ing another rald, fire threatened to destroy the Times' newsprint supply but the Valetta fire depart. ment came to the rescue and there was little loss, For a while after that the paper came out with edges burned, Queries and complaints about this began to flow in to the editor so the paper published a short ex- planatory note about the fire. During the heaviest blitz period over the dsland, from the Winter of 1941 to the Spring of 1942, the Times' staft found i wouldn't ever get the paper out if it went -to shelter every time the sirens sounded, so it established a sys. tem of roof-spotting. During the: alert two members of the staft would go to the roof to keep a lookout for enemy 'planes while the others went on with their work. If the bombers seemed to be heading toward Val. etta and the Times of Malta, the spotters would give the alarm. This was the period during the fsland's big blitz when employes of the paper, bombed out of their homes, took their families along when they went to work and tem- porarily installed them on the premises of the Times of Malta until they found some other place to llve--preferably inside ono of Valetta's tunnel shelters.

What lady has not at some time or other said "I wish I could have a new dress"?

Just as there are tricks in all trades, so in the remaking of old clothes intp mew there are ways and means of making the transformation so that the new article does not betray the fact that it is a "made-over." - In demonstrations which are now taking place all over Canada as part of our national war conserva- tion measures, amazing results are being achieved . . . previously unthought-of ideas are being in- troduced to convince the Canadian housewife of the practicality of this type of war-time economy. Already several programimes are being broadcast over the radio emphasising the necessity for sav- ing materials, and at the same time suggesting how the - ladies can apply their ingenuity to turn out new clothes from old.

The hero of the series is the gal- lant young Canadian 'Commando Pierre Cadoret, who steps upon the soil of his ancestors for the first time on .a misty August morning in 1942 -- the morning of Dieppe. Pierre is put ashore with instructions to get in touch with a French patriot in Brittany who :is active in the underground fight for the freedom.of France. This thrill packed drama which de- picts the co-operation between French patriots and a young Can- adian soldier who risks his life to work with them right under the hated eyes of the enemy is cur- rently being presented every Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7 o'clock. To those who enjoy adventure with a At of romance grammes, featuring Wanda Lan- dowska, offers a delightful con- trast to swing, jazz, and other types of popular music which so often dominate the ether waves. Wanda Landowska, as a matter of comparison, has made the in- teresting statement that 'old music" is_frequently more modern than modern music itself. She was born in Poland, and gradu. ated as a pianist from the War- saw Conservatory at the age of 14, even then attracting the no- tice of several great European conductors. Her villa at Saint- Leu-la-Foret, near Paris, France was one of the most famous musi- cal meceas during the years that preceded World War Number Two.

Matthew 26:41, Memory 'Verse: I will pray unto Jehovah. « Jeremiah 42:4, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. --- Thursday evening, April 6, AD. 30. Place.-- Gethsemane, a garden on the western slope of the Mount of Qlives, opposite Jerusalem, Garden of Gethsemane "Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while 1 go yonder and pray. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled." Jesus knew that His agony must be endured alone, therefore He bade the disciples to wait there; but He desired to have them at hand, therefore He went but 'a little forward,' Not a word came from the disciples. They were no doubt awed into silence, as the truest sympathy is used to be, in the presence of a great grief. The Command to Watch "Then saith he unto them, My 'soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me." Christ would have these men remain to give him such little comfort as was in the power of man to give under circumstances so tragic, Jesus Prays y "And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be pos- sible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as [ will, but as Thou wilt." In his fixed purpose to die for the world's sin Jesus never wavered. The shrinking does not point of unconditionally asking that the cup might pass. Even In the act of uttering the wish, it is limited by that 'if it be pos- sible," which can only mean pos- sible, in view of the great pur- pose for which He came. The- prayer is the utter resignation to the Father's will, in which sub- mission He found peace, as we do. The three disciples were near the scene of His agony, but they were fast asleep, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, 'I have trodden the winepress alone- and of the people there was none with me. Watch and Pray ~ "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit in- deed 1s- willing, but the flesh la weak." strengthened by prayer, much nlore His faulty disciples! He had entered Into temptation and had felt the full strain; He desires therefore that they may be protected as He has been by prayer. ad Thy Will Be Done "Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, Thy will: be done. And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And he left _them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, eaying the same words." Certainly the dis- ciples could have kept awake, if they had been determined to do so. Opportunities to help others In times of great spiritual dis- tress are soon over; if we are not faithful in the hour when we are needed, the hour will soon come when nothing we can do will be of any help. The Final Words "Then cometh He to the dis- ciples, and saith unto them, sleep on now, and take your rest: be. hold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed Into the hands of sinners. -~ Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me." The calm and confidence of our Lord are in contrast to the confusion and weakness of the three apostles. The Cup of Bitterness "Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and. struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus, Jesus there- and remain 'terrible the cost. reach the. If Christ needed to be ~ how _ fore saith unto Peter, put up the sword into the sheath: The cup which the Father hath given we, shall I not drink it?" , The cup to which our Lord here refers is a symbolic expression, by which is meant all the suffering, the bitterness, the loneliness of the entire passion episode, cul. minating in Christ's death upon the cross, Christ this night had discovered in the agony of His prayer, that this path of suffer- ing could never be avoided if He was to remain in the will of God, He would, however The Arrest of Jesus "So the band and the chief cap- tain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and him," There are four souls partici- pating in the drama of this hour, our Lord, and three of His own disciples, we might say, the best three. Around these four souls crowd the temptations of the evil one. This is the beginning of that great "day when once and for all the redemption of man will be wrought out by the sacrifice of Christ, God's Son, There have been great battles on earth be- tween the forces of righteousness and the armies of wicked nations, but there has never been a con- flict with such enormous conse- quences for the welfare and the liberty, and the hope and the life of men as the conflict this night, which will end before another day Is passed, in the defeat of prin- cipalities and powers, in the cast- ing down of Satan, in the offer ing up of a eacrifice which is sufficient to save every man from his sins«forever, ; . pany of Canada . . --_-- | THE BOOK SHELF FRIENDSHIP By Harry Symons A house in the country Is the secret ambition of every eity« dweller.
