. COi THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT.. MARCH 30, 1944 WHERE REDS TRAP AND KILL FOE MILES SOVIET RUSSIA Surging ahead to several points on the Dniester River, the Red Army has forced the Nazis to retreat into Bessarabia. At Tyazhilov, a little more than a mile east of Vinnitsa, the Russians killed nearly 2000 Germans, then went on to sever the Vinnitsa-Zhmerinka railroad, the Nazis' last rail link with the rest of the Ukraine. To the southeast, other Soviet forces widened a wedge across the Odessa-Warsaw rail- CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM We are living in a different world, Partner and I. A different world, 'that is, from the one we were in last week. We are living where there is comfort, and warmth, and a feeling of intense satisfaction. All that as a result of having a furnace installed. You people who have been used to warm furnace heated houses all your lives; you who have never had to spend half your time running from one stove to another--and then not have the house warm--you don't know what it means to feel that you are finally through with an annual fight to keep some semblance of heat and comfort in your house. Of course I don't mean to suggest that a house cannot be properly heated without a furnace. Many can be, and are. It depends on the house--on its construction, its position and its size. ,We have tried our best with stoves and after figuring things out from every angle we decided that a furnace would take less fuel and give better results than three stoves. Why haven't we installed one before?- Well, consider farm prices for ten years previous to the war and you have the answer. Well, I had no idea putting in a furnace meant so much work, took so much time, and made so much confusion. The plumber tells mc that this job in a new house is a cinch--installing one in an old, soldily built house is something else again. But he didn't need to tell me--I could see for myself. We have three cellars under the house, divided by stone walls twelve inches thick. Holes had to be made in these walls for the pipes to go through--and some of the pipes were twelve and fourteen inches in diameter. Partner was helping the plumber, and the two of them were pounding away with picks and crowbars. There was a time when I wondered if the job would ever I don't know what the plumber thought of me--every day I would say--"Shall we be able to light the furnace today?" Finally, last Friday, came the answer for which I had been longing--"I think we can light the furnace about four o'clock I had to go out that afternoon but believe me I was hack by four ' o'clock. However it was six V. C.

It was taken after Major Triquet had received word of the award. o'clock before we set a match to our first furnace fire. Oh, the joy of it! The sheer comfort of standing near a register and feel the warm air rising. It is almost too good to be true. Partner and I have been cold in this house so long that we feel now as if wt vant to soak up all the heat we can get; Of course I am finding plenty of extra work to do because as each room is finished I get it cleaned and the furniture rearranged. And how much easier it is to arrange things when there isn't a stove stuck in the middle of the room! The plumber will be here for another two days yet as there is still the upstairs to do. Saturday I was so tired I was almost ready to drop in my tracks--and yet there was. nothing I wanted so much as t,, k.-? ou working. . ^ hut don't you know tli on--couldn't you ha^ To which I might answer: Yes, we know there is a war on--perhaps better than some. We also know that we have been farming twenty years; that we are both pretty much like the "old grey marc"; and that if we are to carry on we can't afford to have our vitality drained by cold and discomfort in the house. I need a warm house to work in; Partner needs it for the little time he has in which to relax. Yes, we really feel we can enjoy our long-delayed comfort with a clear con- Highway Rule For Pedestrians highways of the province often cause motorist.) a near-fright by fic, whether slow or speedy. The rule for persons walking ou the highways should be to walk towards approaching traffic, always on the left side of the road. Then there is no danger of being overtaken by traffic, to be injured thereby. Thus, during darkness, the pedestrian always has sufficient warning by the vision from a distance of approaching cars. Also it is just a step off the pavement should that step be necessary, without having to look around, as would be required were the walker on the other-side of the road. If pedestrians always walked on the left side of the road there would seldom he an accident to report involving them.

GOLDEN TEXT -- Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory' through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15 : 57. MEMORY VERSE: Thou art nigh, O Jehovah. Psalm" 11!) : 151. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The appearance of our Lord to the women on Faster Sunday morning took place on Sunday, April 9, A.D. 30! The first epistle of Paul to the Corinthians was written to the great Greek city of Corinth somewhere between AD. 57 and 59. Place -- The first appearance o(. our Lord to the women took place near the empty tomb,,probably in the garden surrounding the tomb of Joseph of Ariinathaea. The church' of Corinth, to which this. Epistle was addressed, was in the* great city of that name in central Greece. State of Incorruption "There is one glory of the sun,! and another of the moon, and aib-J other glory of the stars; for one-star differefh from another star in glory." Paul simply draws attention to the many differences that'? appear in bodily forms. "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it' is raised in incorruption." Incor-/ ruption is a timeless state, perfect, constant, changeless. Dishonor and Glory "It is sown in dishonor; it it\ raised in glory." The apostle has no thought of any positive dishonor inflicted either by God Or man upon the body during the, present life -- dishonor is simply in contrast with glory. "It is sown in weakness; it is sown a natural body: it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a na-. tural body, there is also a spiritual' body." As the phrase 'a natural body' means a body like ourS, formed by the energy of the principle of animal life, so must the phrase 'a spiritual body', which describes the resurrection body, denote a body which shall b'e formed by the energy of the immortal The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. How beit that is not first which is spiritual, tut that which is natural: then, th'at which is spiritual. The first man is ot the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven." The first Adam here, of course, is the first man God created. The last Adam is none other than the Lord Jesus. Christ. The Apostle contrasts the first and second Adam. The one was a man: the other infinitely more. A Precious Promise "As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earfty. we shall TARGETS OF ALLIED INVASION COAST BOMBINGS Long-range guns like these, planted by Germans along "invasion coast" of Fra smashed by incessant Allied bombings. Photo obtained through neutral sou: also bear the image of the heavenly." This verse contains one of the most precious promises in all the New Testament: we shall also bear the image of the heavenly, that is, we will be like unto the Lord JeMis. Our Corruptible Bodies "Xow this 1 say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit corruption." If the kingdom of God is characterized by incorruptibleness, that is, absolute purity, we will have to have incorruptible bodies. The Death of Believers -.Id, 1 tell w.'ii a mystery: We tall i slec , but shall all be changed, twinkling of an eye, at the last Sfitpmp: for the trumpet shall sound, afid the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal 'must put on immortality." The j(4eiep referred to is of course, the death of believers. An incorrupt-Stile body implies a great deal: for the truth is that most, if not all, of, "the bodily pain we experience is due to the fact that this present body is corruptible. But when the body shall be made incorruptible there shall be no longer any pain or suffering. There shall be no more death. Victory Over Death "But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law: but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Christ not only gives us this victory over had inflicted. Tie restores us to that slate from which sin had cast us down. Steadfastness and Fervor "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the' Lord, forasmuch as ye know-that your labor is not vain in the Lord." We know that the Lord will bring rich results from any investment of labor we make for Him, and that ultimately there awaits a glorious reward for those Who have been faithful to Him. Work done for Christ, in the power of the'Holy Spirit, is work done Parachutes Made Of The Finest Silk It takes a jerk of 5lA tons to break the 28 cords of the British Army's parachute. Each rigging line is made of the finest braided silk cord, tested to a breaking strain of 45fl lbs. The canopy to which they are attached is made of the finest silk. The whole business weighs 30 lbs., including harness and container barf, and costs £70 (280). As a consequence it is now calculated that parachute jumping is no more dangerous than jumping off a slow bus. Minor injuries, such as sprained ankles and wrists, are down to less than three per thousand. Careful packing is an additional factor in this record. A flight-sergeant, who has been responsible •for' the packing of 38,-000 parachutes, has never had one fail to open. . Record time for a man to run seconds; this record was established in America.

Electronic Express For Speedy Travel Aboard an "Electronic Express," travelers leaving New York would reach Chicago in half an hour and the Pacific Coast in an hour, according to Dr. Irving Laugmuir, natural scientist who has won the Nobel prize for his reseaches. Writing in "Mechanix Illustrated Magazine," Dr. Langmuii says "there is no fundamental reason why we could not tra-el at a speed of 2,000 to 5,000 miles an hour through a vacuum tube in which electronically controlled air-tight vehicles are magnetically suspended in space." In agriculture, Dr. Langmuir envisions 'an orchard operated entirely without workers, in which fruit-bearing trees can be cultivated, and the fruit picked by machines operated and controlled electronically.
