V Advocates World Farming Parley Manitoba Premier Sugfets Ail World Experts Be Invited To Discuss Markêtirg Problems In the hope of overcoming mar- keting problems facing western Canadian agriculturists, Premier John Bracken of Manitoba will call a conference of experts from Can- ada, the United States and Europe. The meeting is planned for mid- December, Mr. Bracken says. The conference, to be held in Winnipeg, will concentrate mostly on the wheat marketing problem. Representatives of the leading wheat exporting countries will be invited to the discussions which will also include marketing of cat- tle, hogs, butter, honey, poultry products and fish. Prices Lower Than Ever “The situation is forcibly brought home to us in Western Canada this year when larger wheat-crops in the United States and Canada, and fairly substantial production else- where, has not been accompanied by a corresponding improvement in international demand for wheat, with the result that prices are now about half the level of a year ago. “The economical development of Manitoba and of Western. Canada has been such as to yield large ex- port surpluses of farm products and to project the west extensively in- to the field of international trade and consequently we must, give much more serious consideration to our export, position and the basis of our trade with other countries. Captured By Police Fifteen policemen surprised Melville . Campbell, wanted for complicity in two Ontario bank robberies, while he was sleeping in a Windsor apartment. Oscar Campbell, brother of the captured man, is at présent serving a 12- year sentence in Kingston peni- tentiary for bank robbery. Ontario Now Sees Value of Forests Former Provincial Premier Makes Reforestation Tour “This province , is finally waking up to the necessity of conserving forests and passing them on to our children,†E. C. Drury, former pre- mier of the province of Ontario, said last week in addressing 250 county councillors and county offi- cials representative of 19 counties in this province, at a banquet held at Angus, Ont., which terminated the first day of the conservation forestry and plowing match tour. See Mistakes “We are finally realizing the mis- takes of the lumber industry,†-he continued, “who have been utterly careless of this province’s- future." Mr. Drury emphasized the effect that reforestation has over the con- trol of floods and rainstorms. “Why is it that the large Euro- pean rivers never overflow their banks and cause millions of dollars of havoc and our small Grand and Thames rivers do?" he asked. “It Is because these countries know the value of reforesting certain areas and we are entirely ignorant of it," ïie answered in the same breath. Never So Lovely Each leaf may fall as it will, ' Resigned and stoical and still, Flitter away, be free, Once part of the pride of a tree. Quiet now at your side, One who is stripped of pride Thinks as the still leaves fall You are loveliest giving all. Tda Elaine James, in Spirit. Are You Listening? By FREDDIE TEE EACH LISTENER A CRITIC Andre Kostelanetz believes that every radio listener should bp a critic instead of an indifferent pat- ron who takes radio for granted. The maestro reveals that artists welcome criticism, whether brick- bats or bouquets, so long as it is Constructive. He thinks it would be an excellent idea if j some means were found to enclos^ in the same envelope with the monthly gas or electric bill a questionnaire for lis- teners to tabulate their radio likes and dislikes. EX-CONSTABLE W.

Listeners have been whit- ing to Tommy Riggs suggesting a suitable companion for lonesome Betty Lou. The candidates thus far include the Dionne Quintuplets, Charlie McCarthy, a panda, Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Donald Duck and a baby brother. Mr. Riggs, who is heard with, his imaginary crea- tion on NBC’s Quaker Party broad- cast, is seriously considering giving Betty a unique gift, probably at Christmas time. STILL “MIGHTY MONARCH†Majestic radio advancements for 1939 contribute largely to the new conveniences which simplify tuning in short-wave stations by devoting a separate channel (9%†wide) for each of the short-wave channels. This added feature plus Push-But- ton “Electromatic†Tuning distin- guishes Majestic, “The Mighty Monarch of the Air,†as outstand- ing radio value this season. LESSON VI HONORING OUR PARENTS Exodus 20: 12; Luke 2: 46-52; John 19: 26, 27; Ephesians 6: 1-4 Golden Text Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giv- eth thee.â€"Exodus 20: 12. THE' LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.â€"The Decalogue was giv- en 1498 B.C.; our Lord was in the temple talking with the doctors during the passover early in April, A.D. 8; his crucifixion took place exactly twenty-two years later, Friday, April 7, A.D. 30; the epis- tle to the Ephesians was written A.D. 64. Place.â€"The Decalogue was giv- en from Mount Sinai; the scene from our Lord’s boyhood took place in the temple at Jerusalem; the crucifixion of our Lord occur- red outside of the city, probably a little way toward the north ; the epistle to the Ephesians was ad- dressed to the church at Ephesus, the greatest city of the province of Asia of Paul’s day, on the coast of the Aegean Sea. 1. The command to honor our parents. Ex, 20: 12. 12. Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. Of all human relationships that between parents and children is considered the most important and, as we shall see later, the most fundamental. Duty to parents stands directly next to duty to God and before all other duties to other people.. Three elements stand out: re-- spect, obedience, affection. However far afield society may develop itself as it grows away from its base, it must continue true to the end of time that the family is the ocial unit; and that the principles of social order â€" authority in the rulei;, subordin- ation in the governedâ€"look back for ever to the home as their birth- place and their nursery. The. training of the years of obedience will affect all the choice of subsequent years; but beyond the period of control there must come that of individual responsibility. 46. And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 47. And all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48. And when they saw him, they were astonished ; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? be- hold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing. 49. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father’s house? 50. And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. These are the' first words uttered by the Lord Jesus of which we have any record in the New Testament. It shows a consciousness, even in the boy Jesus, of a divine mission, of be- ing the Son of God. There is also here revealed a life-purpose. 51. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52. And Jesus advanc- ed in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. The par- ticular part of this passage which applies to our lesson is the state- ment found in verse 51 that Jesus returned and lived at Nazareth in subjection to the discipline and authority of Joseph and his moth- er. The perfect response of the Roy to the will of God meant for him natural correspondence to or- dinary conditions. Even though he had communion with God more intimate, more uninterrupted, than his, parents ever could have had, Jesus throughout his boyhood was perfectly obedient to what we call the Fifth' Commandment. John 19: 26, 27. 26. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom ho loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold, thy son! 27. Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother ! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home. From the pulpit of his cross Jesus preaches to all ages a ser- mon on the Fifth Commandment. That he spoke to his mother would in itself bring infinite comfort to her heart; but he did more than that; he made' provision for her. â- Eph. 6: 1-4. 1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right, 2. Honor thy father and mother (which is the first com- mandment with promise), 3. that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nur- ture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord. The Christian religion penetrates into every part of human life. Auto Deaths Are Compared To War Safety Depends On Rising Up Of Citisens says Minister Of Highways If thought of death and suf- fering by innocent victims, which must inevitably come if war oc- curred, stayed the hands of those who a few weeks ago threatened to precipitate world conflict, then realization of the toll of life and limb taken on the highways of Ontario should curb the mad sel- fishness of careless car drivers, who caused motor accidents. Hon. T. B. McQuesten, minister of highways, stated in. an address to the Hamilton Kiwanis Club. “Safety depends upon the ris- ing up of citizens to demand that something be done to curb the slaughter which is occurring on our highways every day,†contin- ued the speaker. “Unless this kind , of support is given an administra- tion, its efforts can be of little value. , Hope for the future is in voluntary efforts.†Security of Homs Is Modem Need Because Homes Are Cradles Of People Who Can Make Our World a Better Place To Live In, Declares Woman Author. The world must be made a bet- ter place to live in and only from the homes can those come who are to make it a better place, suggest- ed Cornelia Stratton Parker, au- thor and lecturer, who addressed the Montreal Women’s Club. “Where Shall We Go?†Mrs. Parker discussed difficul- ties of modern home-making. There was not the same feeling of permanence and security in the apartment or house separated only by walls from its neighbors, as there had been when homes had their gardens and places for the children to play. Social life, for young or old was more of a prob- lem in the modern home with its restricted space. Instead of young people thinking of home as the background of their social life the question now Was “Where shall we go?†Greatest Need In History The need of real homes is greater than ever before in the world’s history, declared Mrs. Par- ker, but it was being torn in every direction, as the world was out- side. One of the most important effects of the home should be psy- chological security, which depend- ed not on things but on persons, and the emotional bond binding parents and their children to- gether. When The Hunted Chases a Hunter When wild game stalks the hunter that’s news. And in the case of Albert O’Dell, of Del- burne, Alberta, it "evealed rare judgment in the pinches. O’Dell started out in ap- proved nimrod fashion. He did the stalking. He crept stealthily toward what ap- peared to be a big Canada goose perched on a grain stook near Delburne. Then thv in- tended victim had his turn, for the “goose†was a skunk. The hunter backed away. The skunk stepped from his perch and followed. The hun- ter turned, broke into a run. So did the skunk. The hunter glanced backward, saw he was losing ground. In desperation he whirled, and fired.both bar- rels.
