RADIO REPORTER S.LEARV It has not happened here yet, but it may soon.. One of the favourite programmes in Latin-America is one where bashful men propose marriage to their girl friends on a radio programme. It's listening audience is terrific. You probably wonder how the proposer could know the object of his affection is listening in. On enquiring, we found out the Radio Stations put advertisements in the newspapers, listing the names of the people to be proposed to. One of the local producers, will no doubt steal this before long. Keep Fighting Fit, a new programme presented by the District Cadet Officer of Military District Number 2, Major C. E. Read, MC, 15 a new physical training programme which is being heard, over a number of Ontario Stations, ckcl Monday thru Saturday, 7.30 a.m. ,The programme Keep Fighting Fit is as far removed from the old type of physical training as day is from night. Most of you remember when a lad used to sit in the office of an insurance company in New York and go for hours. The new army programme conducted by Doc Lindsay, well known radio announcer who is now a Lieutenant in the army, is strictly streamlined and with the background of cadets from the Collegiate Institutes, will really help to "Keep Fighting Fit." Mr. Vincent Lopez, veteran musical director, was one of the first Network Radio Broadcasts to be brought into Canada.

The Toronto Maple Leaf Baseball games will be heard again over CKCL, Toronto, this year with yours truly at the microphone, and this by the way is my thirteenth season. We remember back in 1939 we were going to retire from broadcasting baseball, but because of the entertainment it provides our Armed forces it looks as if we will have to last out the war. The first baseball broadcast will come early in April.

When The Piper's Bill Is Presented •l-rity, md the services which must provide that security, cost money, yast^ amounts tional in scope, says the Hamilton Spectator. In the large, these funds must come from the pockets of the people; they benefit, where deserving, and consequently they are expected to pay. Every social advance means additional tax levies of some kind or other, for that is the price of socialization. If that cardinal fact is appreciated by those who press for greater measures of-amelioration, then no sense of shock should be experienced when the piper's bill is presented. CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM P. Clarke What would you do if you were writing tRis column every week? What kind of conditions would you think were necessary for -- For instance -- do you hear that hammering and banging and saw- ing going on around here ' And <do you notice that every do >r in the house opens and shuts at irregular intervals? Very distrac ting, of course, but I really doi 't mind, because you see, it is all a means tc an end.' Yes, at Jong last we present method oX heating the house with three stoves. Did I say We keep three stoves going and heat a small area in the immediate vicinity of the stoves and that is about all. Open the hall door and you step into Arctic region. This house, you- see, is so arranged that the pipe from only one stove can be carried' through to the upstairs. The others go straight into the chimney. Thus a lot of heat - is going to waste . And as for the work, I honestly believe a third of my time is spent making up fires and emptying ashes --• to say nothing of the dusting that this method of firing entails -- and which doesn't get done half the time. As for my hands, the skin is pretty nearly washed off them. You know how it is; you sit down to do a bit of sewing and mending. Presently you begin to feel chilly and you realize the living-room fire needs tending. You see to that wash your hands, and settle down again. A little while later you think the kitlheu stove may need fixing. It sure does -- In fact it is nearly out. A trip to the woodshed -- a few chips--down to the cellar for more coal -- ,vait around for a bit to make sure your fire' will get up -- wash your hands again and then back to your mending. By this time fifteen or twenty minutes have gone by--in which time you could have darned a couple of pair of socks. Maybe you will say a furnace has its drawbacks too. I don't doubt it, but that is something I have yet to liscuver. Partner tells me I must learn to run the furnace myself because when he is at the barn so much he doesn's want me to rely on him to see to it. .There only one objection I can see to that. I blame if the eitiic- o hot But the furnace has not beei this last few days. Ou Thurs day of last week a governmen man blew in to test the cattle -for T.B. I mean.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The exact chronology of the Apostle Paul's life is difficult, and different opinions are held by different scholars. Approximately one may say that Saul of Tarsus was born in A.D. I. His conversion took place abou. A.D. 35 last i A.D. 58, and his defense before Agrippa in A.D. 60. The Apostle was beheaded A.D. 64. .

He was in the presence of supremacy and he admitted it as he said, 'Lord'. "And he said, 1 am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad." Christ told him that he was like the stupid oxen kicking against the goad, in refusing to do what' they were ordered to do, only inflicting suffering upon themselves. Saul Yields To Christ "But rise and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man." Paul is immediately a man yielded to Christ ana from that day to the day he died, he was ever seeking to know and to do the will of his Lord. "And Saul arose from the earth and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by thr- hand, and jrought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink." Bu though it was dark without, it was bright within Sar.'.'s Christ's Commandment "But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man .... for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
