EACH THURSDAY >•••»♦< »••»»•»»•â- Â»â€¢*♦•>•• •< RADIO REP8RTEB f. ...hv Don Copclaiid If Don Copeland doesn't hold the record for the longest 'iniiiter- rupted service to Catiadian radio, he comes dam close to it. 1925 saw his entry into the business with a station that now is only a memory, and has been for lo, these many yearsâ€" CJYC, Toronto. That makes nineteen years this year that Don has been harvesting the air- waves and reaping a not too bad Ii\ing and incidentally reputation for so doing. * * « You don't see his picture so much these days, nor read write- ups about him in the press as once you did. Don has quieted do-.vn a trifle since the super-busy days of CKGW, Can- ada's Cheerio Station, â- \\ liich, incidentally hf was with for its entire life. Don made the first i n t r o d u c tory anno uncenient that officially put the station on the air. He announced its requiem when the Canadian Radio Coniniis- sion ill the days of Hector Charlesvvorth, took it over to finally make it into the 50 kw CBL of today. * « * But Don is still busy in radio, and not altogether behind the scenes either. He finds more interest in the steadier side of the business, rather than in the big bouncing shows that hit the air •with a wallop, last for a while and then sink into obscurity. Don, for instance, likes to talk on down- -to-earth matters to people with whom making a living is a ser- ious business. That's one reason h« enjoys a five-day-a-week stint of talking to farmers about farms and farming. That's his "Farmers' Forum" program on CKCL Mon- day through Friday at one-fifteen. Three days a week he follows right on with a further fifteen inin- untes also on farm topics. But then, Don used to be a fartuer and learned what he knows about the business the hard way. He chored in ^Manitoba, really got down to practical cultivation later on in Saskatchewan, and homestcad- ed in those halcyon days wliei) you could bet the Governn'e.'-.t te;: dollars and three years of your life against 100 acres of bald- headed prairie that you wouldn't starve to death before you' got the property. * * * He still has a' big soft spot in his heart for the guy who has to really dig for every dime, and that isn't only farmers, but bush workers and ditch diggers, too, for Don did tliat in his day. He knows the smell of a bunk house in a logginjj or a construction camp as well as he knows his present address out in Scarborough. What did he do in those cuuips, \\c a.skcd him. He reeled off a list of jobs â- which made our Lead swim, from camp cookee, which includes a TOUGH GUY ON TOUR Amiable smile brightening Jimmy Cagney's pan belies his fame as •creendom's ace tough guy as he arrives at American headquarters in London. He will tour Yank camps to entertain troops. complete course in. pan scraping and garbage dumping, to saw filing, which is a delicate art not easily learned. Then there were years of survey work in the B.C. mountains, happy years, he says, which he wouldn't trade for much. * « * Don's done many many jobs in his day, and doesn't regret one of them, for in the past twenty years, when so much of his time has been given to radio program production, a> he says, every job he ever did has found a place ultimately, and authoritatively in a radio script. And he's written lots of themâ€" from hour length thrillers to "flash" announcements. He's still rather proud of his series of Canadian History dramatizations produced years ago for the hnperia! Tobacco Co. TUey pioneered that style of program in Canada. But then, Don pioneered n. dozen styles of program in those days. Currently, as well as the Farm show at noons on CKCL, he is radio reporting the Country News program on the same station Thurs- day's at 7. .SO p.m. for Wilson Pub- lishing Co. If you want to hear that pleasing cheerful vcic; that made the v.'ord "Cheerio" faraaus from Coast to Coast in Canada, listen in then. He'll maybe be talking about yoi'.r^ionie town. The Rook Shelf The Farmer's Animals By Frank H. Gamer In war we realize that we may owe our existence to iHrniers: but the farmers could not have fed us as they have, hart they worked on Happy-go-lucky Farm. The beasts that stray across our holiday coun- tryside are factors in farming all the year round, as important as plough, or reaper, or tractor. Any good farm is a unit, demand- ing skilful management and fore- sight, Constantly increasing exper- ience, science, and business. If the future of farming is to become what it deserves, the citizens' merely ro- mantic attitude nmst expand to one of understanding. In Mr. Garner's book is to be found accurate i,not woolly) infor- mation about the management and breeding of the chief of the farmer's animalsâ€" cattle, sheep, pig.s, horses, and goats. The book will be pro- nounced simple, straightforward, up-to-date, and reliable. It is in- tended to arouse interest in the very facts, and, being a book of facts it is also practical â€" a book for the citizen and for youngsters; and also good sound groundwork lor any young farmer. The 10 photo- graph.'i have been very carefully chosen and annotated and are an imnortant part of the whole. The Farmer's Animals ... By Frank H. Game. . . . The Macmil- lan Company of Canada . . .

CHRONICLES oi GINGER FAKM By Gv.ypndoline P. Clarke This, definitely, has not been one of the best weeks, either for us personally or for the community as a whole. It started much the same as any other v. eek. Then on Wednesday a man arrived to do some repair work. We didn't know he was coming at that particular time. There was enough meat in the house for two but not for three and it was early closing day in town. Given time I could have stretched the meat but when Part- ner went to the barn 1 had to be around with the man as there was plenty he wanted to know. How- ever where there are eggs there is always the making of a meal . . . We survived. * • « That same night I developed s grand attack of flu and for the next few days I didn't find life particularly interesting or desir- able. Neither, I imagine, did Part- ner. He not only bad his own work to do but mine as well and the pleasure of sitting down to lonely meals. Xot that I took to my bed â€" I at least was dressed, so that I could answer the door and telephone. Otner than that . . . well, you probably know the rest from experience. * * » Then came Friday. Our party line was particularly busy â€" and I was so glad the calls were not for us! But finally our ring came . . and what a shock I got I One of our nearest neighbours had died auddenly in the city that after- noon. Xow don't think it an exaggeration when I say that the whole community was stunned, for' this neighbour was known far and wide for his willingness to help anjone, any time, anywhere. In the church, on school boards, in war work, and in many organ- izations, his assistance and experi- ence could always be relied upon. Perhaps you who read this co'umn may think the passing of some one unknown to most of you : lay be of little mterest but â€" you all have neighbours, haven't youâ€" and you, yourself, are your neigh- bour's neighbour. Isn't that so? Doesn't it make you wonder how much you, personally, mean to your community â€" and how much each of your neighbours means to you? Sometimes one's valuation of one's friends comes too late. » - * But now, rather than have you accuse me of writing a "gloomy" column â€" which heaven forbid â€" sup- pose we change the subject.

And do yciu know. I believe it is pos- sibleâ€"where there is freedom of the press â€" to put your fingers on the pulse of the common people pretty accurately by reading its letters to the press. You remember some time ago we heard that 35 square miles on the south-west coast of England were to be evacuated and to be used as a training school for U.S. Troops? We did'nt pay very much attention to that item of news, did we? And yet it meant that nearly 300 farms were being evacuated, 3000 people and several tiiou.-^and iiea'l of livestoc'.' How would we, in Canada, like a govern- ment order like that? And how should we react? • ♦ * Here is an item that tickled my sense of humour. An irate farmer wrote to the press complaining be- cause Government officials and Board of Inspectors had visited his farm and all were wearing long rubber boots, while he, the farmer, had found it impossible to buy rubber boots for love or money. I can imagine a few of the com- ments if such a thing were to hap- pen around here. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESION March 19 JESUS CRUCIFIED Mark 15: 21-47.

The Crucifixion of Christ "And they bring liini unto the place Golgotha, which is, being in- terpreted, the place of the skull. .\nd they offered hini wine mingled with niyrrh : but he received it not." Myrrh was used, mixed with wine, to numb the pain of those about to be crucified. But Jesus refused to drink it, because he would not lighten His sufferings or lesson His agony for our salvation. 'â- .Vnd they crucified him. .\nd parted his garments among them, casting lots upon them, which each should take. .\nd it was the third hour, and they cruicified him." 'Our Lord passively allowed Him- self to suffer this cruel death for our sakcs. .Mthough the Lord of all power. He withheld His power, permitting man to do his worst. The Roman soldiers believed they had crucified a fanatic, a false claimant to kingshii). Little did they realize they were the instru- ments in God's hand of bringing about the death of One whose Blood was to atone for the sin of the world. To them it was just an ordinary criminal's death, such as they had often taken part in. They knew not the stupendous issue de- pendent on the death of Christ. The Superscription ".\nd the .â- ;upcr>C!-iplion oi hU accusation was written over, the King of the Jews." In these w^â- rd^ Pilate sets it down as a simple fact that Jesus is indeed the King of llie Jews. This accus.Ttion is at tile samclime a vindic.ition. The Crowds at the Cross ".\nd with him they crucified two robbers. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we ntay see and be- lieve." At last they feel they have proved the limit of power. lie is now a weak, help'c-;s, doomed Be- ing who is beyond all power of cscipiiig death. Tliey challenged him to come d^^wn from the Cross. He could have done even that, but He had a far more important work in hand than merely to display His Divine power. In that hour He could not save Tliniself and , ii.-- -at the same time. He came into the world to save sinners, and onlv 'OLD BILL' IN ITALY Looking like a double for "Old Bill," Bruce Baimsfather's famous cartoon character of World War 1, Capt. Perry Cadegan of Glace Bay, N.S., squats with a field telephone somewhere in Italy. Capt. Cadegan of Canadian unit of 8th Army, refuses to trim handlebar mustachios for duration. by liis Self-offering upon the Cross could He accomplish His mission. The Cry from the Cross "And when the sixth iiour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour... let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down." It was just about the hour oi the evening sacrifice wiien our Lord uttered tiiis loud cry of desolation. This terrible cry reveals the depth of human and spiritual atiguish suffered by our Lord. It is the cry of one who has lost, for the time being, the sense of fellowship with God. But it has been observ- ed that even in uttering this cry of desolation Jesus did not let go His trust in God, for he calls out 'My God, my God.' Deadly thirst ad- ded to the awful pangs oi crucifix- ion. Vinegar was the sour wine drunk by laborers ui the field. A drink of this kind was kept ready lor jufi'erers, Elijah was regarded as a deliverer in time of trouble. The Death of Christ "And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost." The loud cry uttered by Jesus when dying is considered the loud triumphant voice of a Conqueror. There was nothing compulsory in His death| it w«s a voluntary giving up all the time He hung uiion the cro.';?, and this was why He was deaf to th« taunt to save Himself. He yielded up His .-pirit and iliu.s gave Him- self for our sins. '.\nd tlie veil oi the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom." In the temple, the Holy Place was separated from the Most Holy by a curtain. None but the high priest might pass that curtain, and he only once a year. The curtain being rent in two was a sign that no longer do we have to stand without the veil, but in our own secret chamber we have direct access to the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ. The Centurion's Confession "And when the centurion, who stood by over against iiini, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said. Truly this ma:i was the Son of God." This centurion ,a pagaa soldier, did not need Christ to come down from the cross to prove His Deity: it showed out in His triump- hant death as he exclaimed with awe 'truly this Man was the Soa of God.'
