THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT, APRIL 20, 1944 RADIO REPORTER By AL LEARY I see by the American Radio Trade Papers Alar. Young star of the Buckingham programme has a New York contract and he is going to be head of two American Network programmes this summer, taking Eddie Cantor'- place on 'Time To Smile" and becoming head man at Duffy's Tavern where the "Elite Meet To Eat". Alan came out of the Canadian west to Toronto and made a big hit as a comedian. Alan is a bit of a columnist in his own rights, and we submit a few short extractions. "ME" By Alan Young It's going to be a real thrill tor me to have this column appear because it's so seldom I ever manage to get any of my stuff printed. Outside of this column the only thing I ever had in a newspaper was my lunch. I always had to scrape the mayonnaise off so my dad could read it. One day I left the mayonnaise on and he ate it. But so much for newspapers, back to my livelihood, radio. I love radio and why shouldn't I. Where else could I make so much for so little, besides it's the only way I can reach millions ot people and ALAN YOUNU the ,n-the-s listens to all my broadcasts and rrobably wonders wiiy he's on the street and I'm on the air. For those of you who may be wondering the same thing allow me a brief moment of retrospect. Being the oldest child of a large family it fell upon me to Jielp dad raise the rest of the children. Dad was in the navy during the last war and he was seasick from l'Jti to 1918. He always says he gave the navy everything he had. After the war we made our home 01. forty-second street, New- York. Forty-second street lies parallel to forty-first street and on Saturday nights my father was parallel to BOTH of them. Then came the crash and our lamily operated their business on a shoe string And if you think there's much money in shoe-strings, you're crazy. School days are among my most pleasant memories. In fact the happiest years of my life were spent in the third grade. And, Oh, I'll never forget that wonderful day I graduated to grade four! Was it exciting! I was shaking so much I could hardly shave. Graduating from high school I then took medicine for three years. Felt a lot better too. After university I didn't have a scent. Then I turned to radio and bov did I smell! When I first went on the air people didn't like me a bit; but after listeing for a while they gradually grew to hate me. When this was broke out the Young family were the first at the recruiting office. What a fighting •heritage. Ever since I can remember swords have always run through my family. My great grandfather fought in the Great ANYBODY. HMCS "York" to tak. my medical HACK WORK U. S. bombers, based o dinia and Corsica, have hacked all north and south railroads in Italy, along ragged path shown on map above. Hamstringing of German communications was furthered by blasting of Frosmone, Terracina, PkVnbino and Civitavecchia. examination for the navy. As soon as people saw that I. was going to join up, they started buying Japanese war bonds. However, I didn't pass. The medical officer took one look at me and said, "Well, I've heard of men joining the navy and women joining the -- navy -- but this is RIDICULOUS!" While Alan Young has never appeared on our Radio Station, CKCL has sent many stars to the American Networks. The Clithrow B.-other l*ft Toronto and went t New York and became an immediate hit on Major Bowes "Capital Family". They did a lot of night club work and were heard on many other American Network Broadcasts. Ruth Lowe who used to do a singing act on CKCL went tc New York and became famous as a night club entertainer and broke into the music business by writing the song, "I'll Never Smile Again". Charlie Fitzgerald went to England, became a star on the British Broadcasting Corporation stations, starred in musical comedy and is now serving as an officer in the Royal Air Force. Ann Jemison who appeared on both CFRB and CKCL went to the United States radio and finally wound up as a motion picture star. This all refutes the critics who maintain that Canada does not have good Radio talent. Canada has the best. Canadian sponsors won't pay out and naturally the artists go where they can make the most money. Garden Notes Take Little Room Small vegetables like lettuce and ladish require rows only 15 inches apart. Beets, beans, carrots, peas and spinach need a little more space between, while potatoes, corn and staked tomatoes must have a couple of feet to thirty inches. Space may be saved with the latter type if something quick-maturing such as lettuce and spinach are planted in between. The bigger things will not need the full room at first, and by the time they do the early crops will be. out of the way. If room is extremely limited, then experts advise confining vegetables to such heavy yielders as beans, lettuce, carrots, beets, onions, celery and, possibly, staked tomatoes. A 20-foot row of any of these will supply many meals for a small family. The expert who appreciates garden freshness will also include peas and corn. These things take up more room, and at least ?5 feet of row is needed for a worthwhile crop, but only from the garden right at the door can really fresh corn and peas be Keep 'Em Spaced One can save oneself a lot of stooping and bother by proper spacing of seed when sowing. With beans, peas and such seed, from three to five inches apart is about right. With fine seeds like those of carrots, lettuce and such it is difficult to space e\en1y and thinly but with a little care cme can prevent bunching. This care in sow-thinning will be ^aved. But even with this careft.l sowing, some thinning i, inevitable wit!, fine seed plants. The object is to give room for early growth. It or so apart. Long before they have reached full maturity a lot of the beets and carrot: will have been pulled and usd. When the plants Not Too Deep SUNDAY SCHOOL L E S_S O N PAUL WINS RECOGNITION FOR GENTILE CHRISTIANS Acts 15; 1-35; Galatians *: 1-81 PRINTED TEXT --Acts IS: 23b --29; Galatians 2; 1, 2, 9, 10, 20, 21, GOLDEN TEXT--Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5: 1. Memory Verse: Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good. Ps. 136: 1. . % Time--The council at Jerusalem assembled in A.D. 50. We are not sure when Paul rebuked Peter at Antioch, except that it was some, years subsequent to the council. Place--Jerusalem was the great city of Palestine, in Judah, and Antioch, mentioned in both sections of our lesson, was located in the northern part of Syria. Paul's Greeting to Church "The apostles and the elders, brethren, unto the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting." • The fact that the Gentile converts are here addressed as 'brethren' is at once an assurance of full communion with the church-in Jerusalem. The Council's Decree "For as much as we have heard that certain who went out from us have troubled you with words subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment----. . from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well." The apostle said they w-ere sending this letter by distinguished servants of God who had actually hazarded their lives for the sake of the Lord Tc-us. They wished the church at Antioch to know that* this was not only their agreement, but that they found themselves guided by the Holy Spirit in this decision. There is no resisting the implication that the Holy Spirit had been assembled with them and was with them of one accord. What a radical revelation would take place in all church assemblies if the sense of The Spirit's presence were actually felt and if everything were said and done as if in His presence. Later Account of Council "Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. And I went up by revelation: and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run; in vain." Paul first spoke in private to thej Apostles, and having shown them that the Gospel as h- preached it was pure and genuine, though spoken ill of by many, he then addressed the assembly of believers. Paul's visit was necessary for tile satisfaction of his Gentile converts, and also for the church in Jerusalem, that the identity of bis Gospel with that of the other Apostles should be distinctly seen and acknowledged. If he failed to co#* viuce the Apostles and the church of the validity of his Gospel with- L1NDY HOPPING? Reports persist that Charles A. Lindbergh, above, had received yellow fever immunization "shots' at Marine Hospital, New York, in preparation for a mission outside the country. The hospital, Navy and the flyer's associates refused to confirm the rumor. CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM Gwendoline P. Clarke This is the morning after! You know what I mean--the morning after Easter holidays . . . and weekend guests ... and the usual letdown feeling that follows all such occasions. The weather over the holiday was not the best--good on •Friday but wet and foggy Saturday. However we got around. Did we have any trouble entertaining our guests? None at all. Part of the time we put them to work -- and ro one objected. You see we had a very nice little job on hand that 1 had been rather dreading. It was moving about eighty pullets from one pen to another. Have you tried catching yearling pullets and carrying them about six at a time from one place to another? You have? Yes, I thought so. Then you know-how' hot .you get and how tired of trailing through the mud -- that is, if there are only two of you to do the work. But many hands make light work. So, after dinner on Friday, I hunted old coats and overalls and the four of us went to work. I did the catching--with a hook -- and the other three did the carrying. After the pullets were in their new- pen wc stood looking at them and I said something about birds looking hot. Daughter said immediately--"Why should they look hot -- they didn't have to carry themselves?" The next afternoon we went to Guelph -- all of us that is, except Partner. Nothing we could say would convince him that the trip was worthwhile for him. And no doubt he was right because instead of having a holiday he had extra work for the week-end. Two cows had, calved in one day and a third had serious intentions :0onn the same line. Warm drinking water tc carry . . . calves to be taught to drink . . . cows to be watched in case of complications --and to be milked just so much and no more. But I was glad of an opportunity to go to Guelph --or any city for that matter. There was shopping I just had to do. And then, too, 1 was hoping there might be a chance to pick up a good puppy. In fact I thought of so many things to do it ii more than likely our visitors wished they had left me behind. We some of the grandest dogs. One of jhein was "Lassie Come Home" out the law, his work would be damaged. The Hand of Fellowship "And when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go un-'(6 the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision; only they would that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do." These three were rightly regarded as eminent pillars in the church; they publicly acknowledged Paul and Barnabas as fellowlabourers, in whom they had perfect confidence. Paul had shown much interest in the poor saints of Jerusalem and was ready tc* .do the same again. True Conversion Christ; and it is iiq longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the tie* I live in faith, the faith which is in ;hc Son of God, wln> loved me and gave himself up for inc." '"Where conversion is real, where ^fifctist. there a nobler, richer, fuller life is revealed. It was Paul's deep realization of Christ's love toward so great a sinner that moved him to give himself unreservedly to Christ. No Salvation by Works "I* do not make void the Grace of God: for if righteousness is tlir.--u.-iL the law then Christ died for in real life. I would have loved a puppy from that place. But we didn't get one. For one reason there weren't any, and if there had been the pri:e was $25! After all we are not thinking of raising a show dog. Sunday morning Partner had tiouble at the barn. The expectant heifer got "Hooked". Most of our cows are Ayeshires and their horns . . . However, although the heifer was torn she seemed to be all right. But of course we couldn't be sure. After supper I was getting ready to drive our departing guests to the station when Partner came to me to help him move the heifer to another stall. "Put on one of my smocks and a cap so you don't scare her" said Partner. So I dressed according to instructions and went to the barn. The heifer still seemed to be all right. Then awaj I went to the station. The and a half before I got home. Partner came in just afterwards. "How is the heifer?" was my first question. "It's all over," said Partner, "the calf has arrived. Just the slickest calving I ever saw." So that was that . . . three heifer calves in as many days. Very nice, of course . . . splendid for milk production, and all that. But why did they have to arrive just now when Partner would have liked a little more time to visit? But that's the way it goes. "Time and tide wait for no man"--neither do cows that decide to calve. When Daughter comes I like her to have something from the farm IN DOGHOUSE Looking very sheepish about the whole affair, Captain Mutt, Australian sheep dog pet of a wounded South Pacific veteran, is escorted into patrol wagon by Navy shore patrolmen after going AWOL in San Francisco. Captain Mutt has traveled from Pearl Harbor throughout the South Seas--but he won't stay home. to take back with her. This time what do you think her small extra parcel contained? No, not eggs or a chicken. Something far more exciting. It was onions . . . hon-est-to-goodness winter onions! I was almost afraid to let her take them. I was afraid if ever the aroma made itself noticeable on the train or street-car there might be a stampede. Daughter also carried, with her a huge bouquet of pussywillows gathered right from a nearby swamp. It is possible that other passengers may have given her a wide berth rather than risk a poke in the eye from a pussywillow branch.
