. In The Garden By GORDON L. SMITH From practically any way 701 leok at it, gardening should prove an excellent investment this year. It ia patriotic to grow more vege- tables now, to put idle land to nee, and it is good, sound com- monsenie, too. Vegetable* have been getting more and more ex- pensive in recent weeks and the authorities hold out no hope ef bargains this Summer either. Weather was only partly to blame for the scarcity last Fill. The main reason was the increas- ed demand. In the last year, Canada has added sometihng like million workers to iU army of war employed, and still more workers are going to be added in the months ahead. All these people art- going to need extra food, and fresh vegetable* will play' a big part In filling then* requirement.-.. And gardening offers another advantage. It is one of the best health tonics the doctor could order. A few hours out among growing flowers and vegetables will work wonders in restoring aaity and balance during these trying times of war. No Shortages Ttie war has interfered with a tot of things in Canada, and while gardening la no exception, this faitcrference will be hardly noticed by the average person who orders flowers and vegetable seeds this, Spring. Before the war, a con- siderable amount of the garden atd need in Canada was import- ed from Denmark, Holland and Hungary. This U completely cut off, of courae, as well at practic- ally all ehipmenta from Great Britain. To meet the usual de- Band, however, supplies have keen developed in Canada and also a wider range has been Im- ported from the United States. sWdtrmeu report no serious short- agM. There U likely to be a little than**! in price but thy suggest entering early, especially where a wide range of varieties and types are; wanted. Vegetable* arc th* biggest yielding crop one can grow. Not enly can most linen be grown eloM together but with some thing* like lettuce and carrot*, for instance, a second crop can e harvested in a single Maton. Small vegetables like lettuce, spinach, crrota and radish re- quire rows only from 15 to 18 meheii apart. Baete, beans and peas need from 18 to 20 Inches between, while potatoes, corn and take*! tomatoes must have a cou- ple of fet to thirty inches. Spact may be saved with these if som- thlng quick maturing such a* '(.- tnce and spinach are planted in between. The bigger things will ot need the full room at first and by the time they do, the early crop* will be out of th* way. Where one I* using a hors% garden tractor or a wheel hoe, ef count- greater space between th* rows will be needed. No Crude Rubber For U. S. Auto Tires Lon Henderson told the Sen- ate defenc* investigating commit- tee that "not a single pound ot erud rubber" would be available lor n*w tires or retreads on the mpwards of 30,000,000 paasengr ears now owned by the ordinary ttlzen In the United States. The director of civilian sup- pUe*, who i a War Production Board member, testified that this WM the "most significant single statistic" among a maze of details * the rubber situation which he would offer the investigating group. Henderson said that present calculations of supplies for the United Nations "did not allow a (ingle pound of rubber either for Mw tires or camel-backs for any ef the 30,000,000-odd panaenger ara in this country." A *enator interrupted to ask explanation of "camel-back." "That's the trade name for strips used for re-caps or re- treads on worn automobile tires," Henderson Raid. * * * * * * * ;CFRB* x.

Fred Allen, after nearly ten years ia radio, finds himself back where he started, making Sunday "Fun- day" for hi* million* of network fane, coast to coast. Fred has hia entire crew, tenor Kenny Baker, Portland Hoffa, A! Goodman'* orchestra and th* Mighty Allen Art Players in th* Sunday night at 9.00 p.m. spot now, and there they are going to stay- But the good news is that the Fred Allen show came to Canada with th* change, and ia now heard on a large network of stations, including CKOC hi Hamilton and OFRB in Toronto. The time again 9.00 p.m. Sunday*. Another bit of headline radio listening n*ws U th* fact that an- other great national radio person- ality ha* returned to the air with a brand new show, which is also being heard in Canada. Jimmie Tiddler, Hollywood's ace news re- porter, returned to the air-lanes March 2nd, and is heard in Can- ada through a number of stations, buluding CKOC Hamilton, CKCL Toronto, CKTB St. Catharines, CFPL London, CFCO Chatham amd CKCR in Kitchener. Fiddler's chats about the stars his 'bell' tating* of the n*we*t films, and his gossip of th* cinema colony make* mighty fine, rapid-fir* lis- tening. Fiddler is broadcast on Monday nights at seven o'clock. When you hear your local sta- tion announc* a program a* being 'transcribtu', it usually signifies that the musical or other material in th* program has been specially recorded for radio broadcasting. When announced as 'recorded', invariably the program constitutes a blend of familiar records by favorite entertainers. Amongst th many great shows specially transcribed for radio broadcast- Ing is the new "FLYING FOR FREEDOM" series, dedicated to the work and service of the H.C.- A.F. CKOC in Hamilton broad- cants the show Wednesday nights at 8.00 o'clock CFRB in To- ronto Thursday at 9.80, and other stations, through the facili- ties that transcriptions afford, are able to present the program at times most suitable to their broadcast schedule. Irrespective of where you listen to the show, you will find it pulsating, dra- matic entertainment an exciting saga of the Air Forces of the Empire.

Canadian Bren Gun Best In The World Lt.-Gon. A. G. L. McNnugliton praised the Hren jrun after \w had inspected one of the largest plants manufacturing lircns in Canada the John Inglis Ltd. plant in Toronto. "1 insisted that the Bren be aunt overseas to let us conduct the user trials personally when the first were turned out here," he said. "The men testing them were told to pull no punches, and they didn't. After we used the guns, we stripped them down and inspected the parts. They were still in excellent condition despite the hard knocks they had taken. "The Bren guns turned out in Canada are thti best Bren guns in the world. There, has been no falling off in quality under mass production, either." SUNDAY SCHOOL L E S S O N LESSON XII.

Not far from Caesarea Philippi, far north in Palestine, under the great towering Mt. Hermon, a few miles east of the city of Damascus. Peter'* Confession of Christ 27. "And Jesus went forth, and hU disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi": It is at this time that Christ turns almost en- tirely from speaking to the multi- tudes, the public, as it were, and devotes his attention to those who now believed in him. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying- unto them, who do men say that I am?" The question IB signifi- cant. Jesus ia not only conscious that he Is a problem to men; H auumes that He ought to be. To HU mind there can be nothing o important as that men should have received a true impression f Him and should think of Him a* He thinks of Himself. ColUction of Tvstimonie* 18. "And they told him, say- fatg, John the Baptist; and others Elijah; but others, one of the prophet*." This collection of tes- timonies is both to be commended and criticised. On the one hand It is a confession that our Lord had taken hie place among the great Prophets of Israel. On the other hand, these confessions failed to recognize Chrut as more than a man. He was only a man among men, even though a Prophet among Prophets. This waa as far as many people In Palestine had come in their eon- vietions concerning Christ, and it is a* far a* millions of other people aince have ever allowed thmiMi'.- to go. The Chrlit of God 19. "And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter sjuwereth and faith unto him, Thou art the Christ." Notice that e/ur Lord does not even argue about the Incorrectness and the Inadequacy of the verdict* of the people which have just been re- ported to him. He does not try te show wherein they are wrong. Lake's record tells us that Peter acknowledged Jesus to be "The Christ of God." No higher title than this eould ever be given to emr Lord, but one, namely: Son of the Living God. Peter com- bined them both. 80. "And he charged them that they should tell no man of him." It was only for a short time that they were thus commanded to be silent Soon they were to re- ceive a command to go every- where preaching the Gospel. Jesus wanted them to continue nea rto Him fo rfurther instruc- tion. Jesus Foretells His Death 81. "And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be re- jected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again." Jesus is brief in this first formal announcement. He is like one breaking a terrible piece of news to his dearst friends. The shock cannot be avoided but is softened as much as possible. The very thought of seeing their beloved Master a victim of the Sanhedrim at Jerusalem must have overwhelmed the disciples, and not only because of their love, attachment and high hopes, but also because of their con- ception of the Messiah, which included the very opposite of suf- fering and being killed, namely earthly grandeur and triumph. Peter RebuVes Jesus 82. "And he s;>ake the saying openly, and IVtcr took Him and began to rebu'.e. Him." To 1'eter such frankness seemed to he in- discreet; such premonitions of failure were at variance with all his conceptions of Christ. The Master had manifested a momen- tary weakness ; it was his duty as senior of the Twelve to re- monstrate. He took the Lord aside a little, perhaps in order to spare the Master the pain of public remonstrance. Jeau* Rebuke* Pt*r 88. "But he turning about, and Meing his disciples, rebuked Pe- ter, and saith: Get thee behind m< Satan; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things e* men." It was necessary that be should throw back the temp- tation with indignation and even vehemence, with the rebuke of heaven set against the presump- tuous rebuke of flesh. Here as in all other places in the Gospel Christ is shown to be right and other men, when they differ with him, altogether wrong. 14. "And He called unto Him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them: If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me." At the very time when Peter would keep the Lord from going to the cross to die, Christ believes that Peter ought to be instructed on the denial which he himself must en- dure. It U not Christ'* ros* that we have to take up. His sufferings stand alone, incapable of repitition and needing non; but each has his own. The True Life 35. "For whosoever would av his life shall lose it; and whew ever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it." There is no such thing a* ultimate loss in the kingdom e< God. All personal interest* be- come merged in those of the goc- pel. It is as a man loses himself in great and high things that h finds himself, and as he sacrifice* his life in their behalf that ke saves it. Only in such ttiingt >* there any true life. /' 86. "For what doth it profit man to gain the- whole world, and forfeit his life? 37. Fo what should a man give in ex- change for his life '." ' By the whole world our Lord means actually "all the world's wealth, power, pleasure, beauty and glory." What is a man benefited if, though he have all these thing! he forfeit his life?
