>a) pd POIANA ET oF hte [oo TE Plenty Of Horses Too Few Buggies bm -- Many Carriageless Horses Now, Says Christian Science Monitor It places like Vermont do not yeturn immediately to horse-and- buggy days as a result of automo- bile tire shortages, it will 'not be. because thére "are not: enough horses, There is still one horse to every eight people in the Green Mountain State, according to lat- est studies. It's the buggy that eant be found in these one-time strongholds of Old Dobbin, except for a few rusty old wheels and some moldy leather cushions slung high among the cobweb-coated rafters of forgotten barn lofts, ~ Considering the rapid pace at which Vermont farmers have turned to mechanized equipment in recent years, it is surprising to learn that the State still harbors 46,000 horses within its hills or nearly half as many as at the peak of its "horse population" in 1894. And a horse commands an average price of about $130, or more than the cost of some mechanisms that still carry the designation 'used car." As for carriages, the de- mand has suddenly assumed the dimensions of a boom, One Ine diana carriage maker who had al- most gone out of business now has orders for more than 500 bug- gies, The buggy-manufacturing in- dustry, however, would have dif- ficulty expanding in these days of priorities, not to mention scar- eity of craftsmen who would know _ a felloe from a whipsocket. Per- gons who think of going back to the horse-and-buggy days might do better to investigate the saddle market -- if they believe they could stay on a horse, For the horseless, carriage at least has produced a great many carriage- less horses.

Interned Refugees In War Production Plants Plans now are in process of be- ing carried out whereby civilian enemy aliens who are refugees in "Canada, having been brought here from Britain, will take an active part in Canadian war production, engaged on the refurbishing of used machine tools; --At- present, ft was said, 39 interned refugees have already been, released for work in this connection. "When present plans are com- pleted, 108 men who are alien re- fugees will be working on ma- chine tools in the Montreal area," one well informed source said, He explained these men are re- leased from : internment camps "and 'are put to work for" which they - have volunteered and for which they are particularly skill: ed and trained, under the direc- : ool an officer from the Secre- . f State's Department. .- "hese men will be engaged in "the rebuilding of valuable ma- chine tools which are being brought back into production for the war program after having been in storage in Chicago and . Toronto, it was said. 'All of the men to be so em- -ployed are highly skilled tech- nicians who, because they were enemy aliens in Britain, were rounded up in a general round- up of aliens in 1040 and were "Shipped to Canada; RTL IRR, Russia, with a European popu- lation of 200,000,000, is the larg- est White state in the world, the second being United States "with 130,000,000, SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON " LESSON 15 'The Mission of the 3S rth 10: 1.24, Printed Text, Luke 10: 1.7, 37, 21.24, 4 (From the Final Departure from Galilee uutil Palm Sunday.) GOLDEN <TEXT:--""The har- vest is plenteous, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of he harvest, that he send, forth laborers harvest. Luke 10:2, The Lesson in its 'setting: Time--December A.D. 29. Place--Perea. Appointment of Seventy 1. "Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himselr was about to come." Our Lord is now near the end of His public ministry, and what is yet to be done must be done quickly. For this rea- son he chooses seventy men &nd sends them forth to prepare the hearts of men in the cities and villages of Palestine for hearing the message of the Gospel, when the Lord would soon be coming to them teaching and healing, These seventy were sent forth in thirty-five couples for compan- jonship, Morcover, the testimony of two would he weightier than that of one, and they had to bear witness to Christ's words and works. 2. "And He said to them: The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers arc few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest. 3. Go your ways; behold 1 send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves." What a blessed relation between the work- ers in the harvest and the Lord of the Harvest! The wolves work here represents the world, and the lambs, the Seventy, those who are doing the Lord's work. 3. "Carry no purse, no wallet, na shoes." This specific instruc- tion was given to the Seventy, .with the understanding that their work was to be of very short duration and they were not to be burdened with material things. 4. "And salute no man on the way." Our Lord did not want thése men to tarry on the way but to go straight to tha places which He had sent them, to do their work, and to pass on to other places. : ) 5. "And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say 'Peace be to this house'. 6. And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him, but if not, it shall turn to you again." This was natural courtesy: among the Jews whose common salutation is -'Peace to thee'. A son of peace means one who truly deserves this peace that Jesus 'offers through His messengers, 7. "And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the lab- orer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house." On this occasion, everything told to the seveitly implied urgency. What they were to do at this time_they must do quickly. Disciples Elated 17. "And the seventy returned' into his with joy, saying, Lord, even the - demons are subject.unto us in Thy name." . All the seventy would not return at once, and probably did not all return to the same place, but met Jesus at dif- ferent points as He followed them, When they said that even the demons were subject to them, they "meant that more had happened than they expected for they had only been told to heal the sick, and they were elated at bosses ing this power, -- - Revelation Is To Babes 21. "In that same hour he re- joiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, - 'I sthank. thee, O_ Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou 'didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes. Yea, Father, for. so. it was, well-pleasing in thy sight" Jesus does not mean that wise men * will not understand the simplicity of the Gospel and have no place in the church, What he does mean to say, however, is that-men who are learned will, be greatly tempted to ignore the Gospel and to think that their own wisdom is adequate for all needs, Revelation Through Jesus ~ 22, "All things have been de- livered unto me of my Father, and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father, and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to re- veal Him." The only people on earth to-day-who truly know God are those who Know Him through the Lord Jesus Christ, that fs, they are the Christians, . . 23. "And turning to the disciples, he sald privately, Blessed aro the eyes which gee the things that ye peo: 24, for I say unto you, that many prophets' and kings desired to see the things which ye eee, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye bear, and heard them not."

Who picks them? How does he pick? What qualifications must a' 'man have to become a non- commissioned officer? Let's go at. those questions backward. Actually it isn't back- ward, It's the right way because the first step in making a N.C.O. is to find a man with the quali- fications that fit him for promo- tion. The first requisite is the in- tangible quality called leadership. What is leadership? A dozen different dictionaries will give you a dozen different definitions. So let's try our own! A leader is one who is instinctively given the respect and' liking of his fel- lows and who has the ability to organize, direct and carry out an 22 Timber tree.

They are the type of young fellows who do this sort of thing for the joy of it or for some civic reason --not the "bossy" type. Well, that's the sort of fellow from whom you pick potential N.C.0.'s. And, the answer to the question "who pioks?", is--every N.C.0., or officer who is on his toes. That is to say he "picks them" to the extent of passing along his observations to the Commanding Officer of the unit. The average young soldier, working hard at his job, some- times feels that promotion is hard to attain. It is, but he will prob- ably be surprised to learn that there are probably move people on the lookout for N.C.0. material" than there are looking for pro- motion. This army of ours today specializes in leadership, It is composed, down to the last pri- ate, of men who are trained to be capable of handling any situation without looking to higher quarters for guidance--if they find thém- selves on their own, ) All training, therefore, tends to prepare the modern soldier to aceept responsibility and every commanding officer is constantly on the lookout for men capable of doing so. There are no courses for N.C.O. qualification, as such, No man in the active army goes to school definitely to qualify as a Corporal or a Sergeant. But as many likely men as possible ave sent to special courses at all Advanced Training Centres, Small * Arms Schools and the Junior Leaders School. They may be privates, they may be officers, they may be sergeants when they attend courses--a few days ago I was taken into a class- room in which Officers, N.C.0.'s and Privates were all paying at- tention to the same-lecture; This was a course. in which they were teaching instructors to teach. That's one of the reasohs why you never hear an instructor parroting the words in the book ---the way you used to. And that's where N.C.0.'s come from in this man's army. And it's where officers come from, too. In other words the Individual Citizen's Army is manned ana guided by men who know their by men: who show them- selves in their everyday life to be capable, after specialized in- struction, of leading. A good N.C.O. today still barks out his orders, but he barks them with the crisp authority of the man who knows what he is doing. Better still his orders are obeyed with greater alacrity be- --cause his men know that he knows his stuff--and know that when they know as much as he does there's the first "dog's hind leg" Walling for them.
