a Saving Money On Textbooks Ontario's Minister of Educa: tion 'Makes Suggestions to ' 8chool: Principals and Pare ents ) A suggestion that school prin. cipals help in saving much-needed money during wartime by keeping down as far as possible cost of new textbooks for pupils, is made in a memorandum from the Hon. Duncan McArthur, Minister of Education for Ontario. The memorandum. puts forward some suggestions as to how costs to parents may be reduced. It is suggested that text-books for- merly used by brothers and sisters of pupils be used again, if they are still authorized books, The memorandum also suggests that Boards of Education purchase text-books and other supplies, at lot prices, to be furnished to the pupils free. The cost of such books could be defrayed by charg- es not exceeding 20 cents a month for each elementary school pupil and 25 cents for each sec- ondary schcol student. It is also suggested that boards purchase books recommended for supple- mentary reading, to be. placed in school libraries, Use of single loose-leaf note books instead of a note book for each subject is another of the suggestions in the memorandum. Outlines prepared by teachers .and mimeographed in each sc'wol would also help reduce the cost of purchasing new text-books, it is suggested. The memorandum points out that wholesale purchases by boards would be cheaper than in. dividual purchase of text books and other supplies, "Verboten" Road ih : a ni - This amusing sign at a sentry post. in Dover strikes. a humorous note.

ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE PRINTED TEXT, Luke 8: 4.15 GOLDEN TEXT.--Take heed there. fore how ye hear. Luke 8: 18. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time, -- All the events of this chapter occurred in the autumn of AD. 28, Place. -- The preaching and teaching ministry of Christ here recorded occurred at the Sea of Galilee; the Incfllent pertaining to the coming of his mother and brethren is to be located some where in Galilee itself; Gadara was on the. eastern shore of the Sea of; Galilee; the miracle of healing - and of raising the daughter of Jair- us occurred 'in the city of Caper- naum, at the north end of the Sea of Galilee. From- this lesson we should de- rive a deeper and more solemn con- ception of the profound significance and sanctity of human life, and the supreme importance of diligently giving heed tothe word of God, and then being continually exercised to sce that his word, once lodged in our hearts, Is never crowded out by the things of this world, things that can 80 easily choke one's spiritual life and bring about a dry- ness of soul, a restlessness and dis- satisfaction with life. In. this chapter we havo one of fire_most- charming pictures of the private life of our Lord and his disciples to be found in any of the Gospel records. Christ's Ministry of Teaching The inexhaustible parable of the Sower Is also founds with some variations in Matt, 13 and Mark 4. Luke 8: 4. And when w great mul- titude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable; story with a' heavenly meaning), 5. The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside: and ft was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured It. 6, And other tell on the rock; and-as soon as' It grew, It withered away, be- cause it had no moisture. 7. And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grow with It, and chok- ed it, 8, And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundred fold. As he sald theso things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. As far as wo can determine, the seed in all four cases was of the same quality; the different consequences. of sowing in four different places resulted from the different influences exerted upon the seed when sown. . The Seed Is the Word 9. And his disciples asked him what this parable might be, 10. And he sald, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the king- dom of God: but to the rest.in.par- ables; that: seeing they. may not soe, and hearing they may not un- derstand. Our Lord here means that many of his hearers are not elther percolylng 'or understanding, al though: they are. seeing hls deeds and words, 11, Now tho parable ia this: The seed is the word of God. While «11 words, even of men, which are better than mere- words, are as seeds, able to take root in their minds and hearts who hear them, have gérms in them which. only unfold by degrees; how eminent- iy must this be true of the words of God. The seed of the word wholly transforms and renews when (a parable ® might be defined as-an earthly it falls on receptive ground. 12. And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the wdrd from their heart, that they may not belleve and be saved. The cars have let the word in, but before it can accomplish its- work in the hearts of these hearers It is taken away by the birds of doubt, Not to believe, not to trust the word after having heard it, separates a man: from all its saving power, "leaves the sinner lost, mors hope- lessly than before. Poor and Good Ground 13. And those Jon the rock ure they who, when they have heard, receive the word with .joy; and thoso have no-root, who for a while belive, and in time of temptation tall away. These here spoken of are those who stand off, lose In. terost, stop coming to church, drop N out of sight. The "season of trial" becomes a season of temptution for these superficial, emotional people, 14. And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that haye heard, and as they go on their way_. thoy are choked wlth cares and riches and' pleasures of this. life, and - bring no fruit to perfection. The man represented here has not made clean work of "his religion. Ho has received the good seed, but has forgotten something has to be grubbed up and cast out as well as something to be taken In, if he would grow the fair fruits of Chris! ~ tian character. He probably has cut down the thorns, but has left their rools or seeds where they were. Ho has not turned the world aut of his heart. This man keeps up his Christian name to the end; but "his veal spiritual'life has long ago been suffocated by the other growth, 15. And that in the good ground, these are such as In an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patlence. The fruitful hearer must not only bring an honest and good heart; he must keep the word. Again it. is not the amount of kndwledge you have, but the use you put it to; it is not the number ot good sayings you have heard and can repeat that will profit you, but the place in your heart you have given thém, and the place in the actions of your daily life.

Farm Notes 450,000 Farmers In Co-Operatives There are almost 450,000 mem- bors or shareholders in farmers' co-operative companies in Canada. In 1938-39, the total business of these organizations was over 200 million dollars according to in- formation compiled by the Econpm- fcs Division, Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Agricul ture. Farmer co-operatives thus oc- cupy a very important part in Can adian business, But not ouly are there a great many co-operatives--thero are a great many different kinds. Most people are aware of the markoting co-operatives in fruit and vege- tables, live stock, wheat and dairy products, but other associations ex- ist across the country and which are perhaps not so wellknown, Run Own Packing Plant At Barrie, in Ontario, farmors own and operate a cooperative packing plant, This group, organ- fred in 1929, now has over 1,200 shareholders and in some years has packed and sold over a million dol- lars worth ot live stock and poul. try products Thé Maritime Provinces are well advanced in cooperative activity, Farmer-fishermen along the south shore of Guysbora County in Nova Scotia own a canning factory, Dur- ing the lobster season, the plant is used to can sea-faod andgly oth. er seasons to can small frulld, Tor Pay canned blueberries are a pro- duct of this co-operative, Daylight Plan Shows Saving Officiuls of the Ontario Hydro- Electric Power Commission re- cently vines would save more than 100, 000 horsepower if the federal government extends daylight sav- ing throughout the winter, The estimated saving for Oc- tober was placed at 20,000 horse- power, RADIO REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS AROUND THE DIAL One of the better war dramas heard over the air today is of- fered by the CBC network on Thursday nights at 8.30 when the stirring piece -- They Shall Not Pass -- iy presented.
