Channel Islands Under Nazi Heel Story of an Islander Who Escaped to England In A Motor-boat A fairly large number of troop* appear to be stationed in the island to which I belong, and of their general behavior to the pop- ulace there seems nothing to com- plain. A report that men from the island had been removed to camps or elsewhere on the con- tinent is untrue, but all have to wor't r.ostly on food production, or do s - jch other work as they are suited to. Jiluc.i hardship now exists how- ever, o tig to scarcity of one thi- a (I another. The i anders have had no tea for P onths. Soap, candles, and para:/ i >'re not obtainable, and the | ; It- mostly retiie at dusk and r. at dawn. Butter is al- loweil r the rate of 2 ot. a week, meat .'> oj., and no fats. Gas for cookin is allowed for only 20 min:!t< s r>r o. at two periods each day. Tht.. was little coal for fuel during !-st Winter, and those who live the coast gather drift- wooc. et:-., for occasional fires. Many o! the older people suc- cunili \.ith the cold. Nearly all doc'.ors left before the occupa- | tion. A few German doctors are | there, K ut not enough to cope with epi en:ic if such occur. No clothing can be renewed, and not a reel of cotton is to be had. T he outlook for Winter is therefore xery ifiim. No civilians remain in Alder- iiey, wh'ch is given over entirely to rr Hilary occupation. Fewer troops occupy Guernsey, is shown by the German rank and file, as for instance when a con- Lack of enthusiasm for the war tingent was ordered from Jersey for the Russian front. They re- volted, but machine guns were trained on them by the officer*. Though not popular with the Jcrseyites, the Germans have nev- ertheless contrived to win a small proportion of them to their ideas. For the remainder, they just have to keep quiet to avoid trouble. Cinema shows are given free twice a week mostly German films and propaganda. To educate the islanders in music approved by the Nazis, the occupying forces have imported a German opera company to give bi-weekljr enter- tainments. Radio listening is al- lowed at certain times, except to English news. Horse Does Not Need Ear Trumpet Few animals surpass the horse In the keenness of hi* hearing! yet there are a multitude of driv- en who yell and ahout at If the horse in front of them with the delicate and sensitive ear were 16 blocks away. We have sometimes been able to convey a sound to the horse we were driving which the person sitting beside us could not hear. The quiet, confident tones of the voice aid greatly in controlling the horse. We do not like drivers who never talk to their hones, though there used to be a driver of a six- horse team in Boston known as "Silent Jim. 1 ' People stopped of- ten to watch him handle his team In difficult situations, backing, cramping, turning around, with- out speaking a word. At any rate, please remember, whoever you are who drive, that your horse has no need of an ear trumpet to hear you. Base Metal Mines Increasing Output While Canadian civilians are being asked to conserve use of metals to help the war effort, base metal mines are taking further eteps to Increase available supply of those* metal* at the source. With export* of non-ferrous met- als up almost 25 par cent. In the fint 11 months of 1941 over the corresponding period In 1940, bate metal mines have already been turning out record quantities but they aim to do better still. Kxpanslon called for under the Hyde Park agreement Is expected to bring mineral production to a level hardly thought possible he- fore the war. The metal production picture n 1941 offers a strlknig contrast to that in 1917. Metal prices to- day on the average, are only half those existing in the last war hut quantities produced tire tremen- dously greater. With actual pro- duction figures not available, ap- proximate Increases over the first Great War period art estimated * follows: Copper, 750 per rent.) lead 1,800 per cent.; nickel, 260 per cent.; zinc, 1,660 per cent.

SUNDA Y SCHOOL LESSON LESSON VI. A BUSY SABBATH IN CAPER- NAUM. Mirk 1:21-34; Luke 4:31-41. Printed Text, Mark 1:21-34 GOLDEN TEXT 1 ..... in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. Re- velation 1:10. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME May, A.D. 28. PLACE The city of Caper- naum, at the northern end of the Sea of Galilee. 21. "And they go into Caper- naum; and straightway on the Sabbath Day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22. And they were astonished at ha teach- ing: for he taught them as hav- ing authority, and not as the scribes." it would seem that our Lord regularly attended the ser- vices of the synagogue on the Sabbath. We should follow his example. At times the services may be dull or meaningless but our presence there may be a blessing to others as well as to ourselves. Our Lord came to do many things, including the great work of teaching, a privilege He here exercises :imidst His own people, in what ought to be an atmosphere of true worship. These people had heard teachers all their lives, and, no doubt, some of them had gone up to Jerusa- lem and heard the best teachers that Jerusalem had at that day. But the teaching of Josus was immediately recognized as being something different; loftier and more powerful than any other teaching thoy had ever heard. In fact, they v. ere utterly astonish- ed at the way He talked, sur- prised especially at the authority which the Scribes never revealed. When men listened to Him they knew He was right. The au- thority of Jesus was, and still is, the authority of absolute truth. 23. "And straightway there was in the.r synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried oat, 21. snying, What have we to do with 'Ihee, Jesus thou Naza.uu? Art thou come to de- stroy us? 1 know thee who thou art, the lloiy One of God." Some- thing s.i..:., i, :i..i-s this spirit seek out Jesus in public anu cry out . i :ii he kno..s about Jesus. A.ay it not be possible that the man himself, weary of the bond- age of an e\il spirit, and learning that one who could deliver was teaching in the synagogue of hit THIS CURIOUS W&&.

Ju Ha* Authority 15. "And Jesus rebuked him, saying. Hold thy peace, and come oat of him. 26. And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him." The Lord Jesus does not argue with the demon; he does not debate what he will Tlo. The deliverance of the man takes place immediately. When the power of Christ is set against the pow- er of evil, evil is compelled to give way. 27. "And they were all amazed insomuch that they question- ed among themselves, say- ing, What is this? a new teaching! with authority to commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28. And the report of him went out straight way every- where into all the region of Gal- ilee round about". For the second time this day the people of Cap- ernaum are astonished: first with our Lord's teaching, charade: ized by an authority which they had never witnessed before, and now in finding His word to evil pow- ers likewise characterized by the authority of a master. Church and Home 29. "And straightway, -when they were come out of the syna- gogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John." In spending part of the Sabbath in the synagogue and part in the house, Jesus touched the two most sacred institutions given to men, the church and the home. It should be noted that Jesus went first, early in the morning, in the house of the Lord, and then later in the day, in the house of men. 30. "Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and straight- way they tell him of her. 31. And he came and took her by the hand." Jesus uttered no word and silently effected the miracle taking her hand, a symbol of helpfulness all the world over. "And raised her up." No doubt as His hand touched hers. He communicated strength to her, enabling her to get up. "And the fever left ..or, and she minister- ed unto them." The miracle here is that the fever left immedi- ately, and she was immediately well. 32. "And at even, when the sun did set, they brought into him all that were sick, and them that were possesed of demnos. 33. And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34. And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He suf- fered not the demons to speak, because they knew Him." There must have been a mysterious sy- mpathy and goodness in His looks, and words that seemed to beckon tlio wretched to Him as their friend. The blind cried out to Him from the roadside, and the woman of Canaan followed him in spite of His hard words. When He came near, even those poss- essed felt His divine greatness; and he spoke to all some word of mercy. Hotels In Britain Have Their Trials Hotels, like private households, have their difficulties. The milk shortage directly affects them too. A tablespoonful of milk is the limit of the ration, and if It goes into the morning coffee, guest* must take their porridge without. So states one hotel man- ager. For the rest of the day, a modicum of milk is served with tea, and generally none with cof- fee. Even the porridge has suffered a declension. I hear of one es- tablishment where, in deference to the English habit of eating it with sugar, it is actually savored with sugar instead of salt In the making, and thus rendered com- pletely unacceptable to the Scot- tish palate. Not a great deal of sympathy goes out to the hotel guest, who Is mistakenly pictured as living on the fat of the land while ev- erybody else is severely rationed. The truth is that hotel menus are much attenuated as compared with a year ago, and, If the black market operates, it is only in the less reputable establishments. RADIO REPORTER DIALING WITH DAVE: By the time the next column appears in print the probabilities are all Canada and the United States will be on Daylight Saving time and that's going to do rather funny things to your radio listening: in fact, rather mix it up for you. Briefly, this is what will happen: Those who are on Daylight Saving time, will hear Canadian network shows at the usual time but American Net- works, 8ue*h as Charlie McCarthy and others, will be heard ONE HOUR EARLIER! Those who leave Standard Time, will hear Canadian network shows ONE HOUR LATER than they've been accustomed to hearing them, but American originating shows will not change time! A bit confus- ing, but literally, that is what takes place, for at present the United States is on Standard Time, while most of Canada's originating points, like Toronto, have been consistently on Day- light Time! The exact time change date is Monday, February S>th so after this Sunday's pro- grams are over, watch for the changes ! * * Good news for many of the lo- calities of the Province is the fact that the Bandwagon will continue to ride down Harmony Highway throughout the year.

CFRB's Saturday at 7.00 p.m. They're smartly paced shows, highlighting each week some local effort on behalf of War Work. The Kinsmen's 'Milk for Britain' Fund has received wide publicity on the Bandwagon shows, and many of the show's promotional ideas have added very material assistance to the Drive's success! * * Another show spotlighted on various local stations throughout the province is Hoedown by Og- den two weekly quarter hours of traditional 'old-time' music and song, with modern excerpts styled by Dorothy Whyte! Dot is a Canadian born lass, who toured England a few years ago, and was featured with Jay Wilbur's Band! She made quite a name for her- self, and the boys at CKOC treas- ure their Jay Wilbur recording* which feature Dorothy in the vocal refrains! CROC's "Hoe- down by Ogden" is aired at 7.00 p.m. D.S.T. Tuesday and Thurs- days. * * * Some Canadian shows, particu- larly the networks, may change time to avoid conflict with Am- erican shows coining into Canada. But keep listening and don't miss the big Tuesday night vari- ety headliner, "Blended Rhythm," starring Eric Wild's orchestra, the solo voices of Georgia Uey and Burt Austin, and the Camp- bell Sisters. Comedy, a la Vari- ety style, is offered by Frankie Shuster and Johnny Wayne. Herb May M.C.'s the show, and its pace is keen! It's a CBC Network show! The program will con- tinue to be heard at 8.30 p.m. D.S.T. * * A Few 1150 Listening; Tipti Keep your diai on 1150 Monday nights at 8.00 D.S.T. in the fut- ure the feature "What's on My Mind," quiz show with a new twist, has taken on some new trimmings, and is really bang-up entertainment.
