Of Wheat | Tris Curious WORLD fuer Parted In Middle When With- in Sight of Haven Standing in line to' sign up on another ship, 46 seamer from a torpedoed. mérchant vessel told how they sailed their battered erafi for five days in a valiant effort to make part, only to have her break in two when their haven ~ was in sight, Rescued by a coastal tug and a Canadian Navy ship, the men were taken to St. John's, Nfld, some days ago. Immediately after they arrived here,(Jthe crew went through the cerpmony of signing en a new ship, and simultaneously reported the sinking of their old vessel for the first time. The crewmen said several of their shipmates died when their big vessel split. They had launch- ed a boat in an attempt to es- eape, but were swamped when the fore-section reared in the air and erashed over almost on top of them, swamping their lifeboat with cascades of water, The remaining 45 stuck to the aft end of their ship for several days, finally being taken off by a coastal tug and a Royal Canadian Nay craft that edged alongside the wreck so expertly the surviv- ors had to 'merely step from one deck to another. We didn't even get our feet wet." * Chief regret of the men saved --many of them from England, was that they were unable to save their boat, "one of the newest and best in service." Mourned one: "She was a lovely craft. No other boat afloat could have taken the punishment she did and floated at all." ~ It; Cok Jack Ste of Ft. - Worth, Tex., catches a breath. of air after completing an operation in the makeshift operating room of No. 2 hospital at Bataan. We Must Outwit Those Wily Japs: The Japanese use of the Eng- lish language in attempts to cause eonfusion in Allied communica- tions must be met with American training of a much greater num- ber of officers capable of speak- ing Japanese, it is felt by ex- perienced observers in the war area. The Gernran military. axiom, "begin by learning your enemy's / language," was never more applic- able than it is in" Australia.

Who Will Be Saved? £2, "And he went on his way through cities and villages, teach ing and journeying on unto Jer- usalem." Through these towns and villages he had sent the sev. enty in advance and he. was on the way through them now preaching as he went along, 23 (a). "And one said unto him, Lord are they few that are saved?" Why this question was asked at this time we do know, but we do know that every be- liever in Jesus Christ + saved. 28 (b). And he said unto them, 24, Strive to enter in by the narrow door; for mary, I say unto you, shall 'seek to enter in, and shall not be able" does not answer the question asked because the answer is not one that He desires man to have, but He does speak of the more important problem, raised by this very question, namely, are we ourselves saved? Acting Too Late 25. "When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' and He shall answer and say to you, I know you not who ye are. 26. then shall ye begin to say. We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets." In its application to salation, thi does not imply that there are any people in the world, whom Jesus does not know about, but there are great multi- tudes whom Jesus does not know as His own. The Lord does not know these people because they have never come to him before. They did not accept salvation when it was offered, and now, the time being over for salva- * tion, they have no right to His hospitality. " - Without A Saviour 27. "And he shall say, I tell you I know not whence ye are, de- part from. me, all ye workers of iniquity." Inasmuch as salvation is from Christ alone, when He says he does not know one, that means that person is without a Saviour. Inwardly the worker of iniquity is separated from Jesus, and, at last, the outward relation will be adjusted to the inward, and departure from Him will be inevitable and that is ruin. 28. "There shall be the weep- ing and the gnashing 'of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the --prophets; in the kingdom of God, and yourselves cast forth with out." Here is the fate of those barred out, presented with the greater 'intefisity because con- trasted with the lot of the blessed. It is certain that the damned shall. know fully of the joys of the blessed, and worse still, that they, too but for themselves, might be in the midst of those Joys. Judgment Reversed . 29. "And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God, 30. "And behold, there are last. who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last." Whatever be the number of those who are in the way of salvation, that which concerns us is that we should without delay secure a place among them, 81, "In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence: for Herod would fain kill thee." Jesus was in Perea, and therefore' within the dominions of Herod. It is impossible to say whether" the message was sent by Herod or was invented by the Pharisees, Christ's Mission | 82(a). "And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day - and Here the 'fox is used as a symbol of craftiness. Jesus saw the inner heart of Herod. and therefore when he described him as a fox, he spoke the word of righteous ness and of truth, It was not an . opitiet; it was a character in a word 32(b). "And the third day I am perfected. 83, Nevertheless I myst go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following: for it cannot be that & prophet perith out of Jerusalem." Christ did not resign his functions," he did not decline to go on with his work. He said, I work in the name of God and for the good of mankind, and I must not be stopped. If we had more of that , spirit we should all do more work in the world. will be _ Jesus to-morrow." -|- "her! how often would I have gath- "under her wings, and ye would .

He plans to tour the U. 8. A. a bit, Instead of staging all shows from New York and Hollywood. THE CIGAR! THE VIOLIN(?)! THE COMEDIAN! Yes, it's Jack Benny, in probably as typical a pose as you could imagine him in! Jack, with Mary Livingstone, Dennis Day, the Music of Phil Harris and his Orchestra, and all the cast, continue to entertain their waiting millions each Sunday night 'at seven o'clock heard throughout Canada on the Behind The Program! Indeed, "tis very often the story behind the show that gives the program. the interest and enter- tainment value it has. Even more often, the story behind the scenes, if known, enhances the pleasure one has in listening to the pro- gram! Take for instance, the Fred Allen Sunday night 9.00 o'clock shows: During the past few weeks, they've beep scripted by Vick Knight, who also does the production on such famous 'one shot' shows, as 'The President's March of Dimes' broadcast, and international 'Red Cross' Shows, Several weeks ago, the Army in- vited Vick to direct its "Command Performanee" internationally short-waved shows for the Ameri- can Fighting Forces! Vick's spare-time, wasn't sufficient -to cover this "new assignment! The problem: Give up -a $600.00 a week job as Fred Allen's Scripter and take the Army work, full time, as a volunteer director' at nothing per week! That would take some deciding, you'll agree! But right now Vick Knight is in Hollywood, directing bigger and better "Command Performance" shows! Bogey's Back Horror Man, Boris Karloff, master of the macabre, is now heard Sunday nights as guest on the Inner Sanctum Mysteries broadcast via the Blue Network, to a network of Canadian stations CBC National Network! at 8.30! Mr. Karloff's Friday the 13th of March fun-party at his Hollywood home, was one of the most original and eerie, yet staged by a member of the movie: radio colony! ' . Bonus From Baker One of the shows a lot of Cana- dians thoroughly enjoy is the "Breakfast Club,' broadcast by a majority of CBC stations daily at 9.00 am, Jack Baker, tenor of the show, recently sang a concert for convalescent soldiers and sail- ors at the O'Reilly General Hos- pital in Springfield, Missouri.

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I say unto you, ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is' he that cometh in the name of the Lord." One of the. inexplicable features of divine love is that, in spite of the infallible fore-. knowledge that all will be in vain, its call and effort to save never ceases till the very end. When Jerusalem persistently refused to receive Christ as her Saviour and a Prophet come from God, then leave her to. the fate which she was shaping for herself, Canada's production of crude petroleym and natural gasoline rels compared with 8,718,068 barrels in 1940 and 7,887,608 barrels in 1989.

On the way across the channel a formation of Messerschmitts appeared far below and in the words of the commander: "Some of the more bloodthirsty Cana- dians wanted to dive and attack them", "I had to point out," he ad- ded, "there was another larger German formation considerably above us, waiting for us to do just that so it could attack us the moment we were involved in The lads were disap- pointed, just the same" The sweep was the Canadians' second job of the day which started with a patrol over a con- British const. the Hospital' mass Larger Than Ever Surplus In Four Leading Despite two successive short war crops and prospects that the 1942 production may be smaller yet, the world may have a lagen supply of wheat this year than ever before. This is because the surplus existing in the world's four lead: ing" ¢xporting States, Canada, Australia and Ar. gentina---is the largest on record. Russia Excluded The present prospects indicate a total 1942 crop for most of the world of around 3,950,000,000 bushels, or slightly less than was harvested last year. This figure compares with the record crop of 4,636,000,000 produced in 1938, Russia and China are excluded from (the world figures because adequate information has not heen available. The world---again exclusive of Russia and China---is expected to have a carryover of about 1,690,- 000,000 bushels of old wheat when the 1942 crop is harvested, Of this amount, only about 175,- 000,000 bushels were expected to be held by countries other than the United States, Canada, Aust- ralia and Argentina, Famine Implied The large stocks in the four exporting countries and small stocks in other countries . . . imply a serious bread situation in continental Europe. United States is expected to have a wheat supply of 1,425,- . 000,000 bushels when this year's crop is harvested. The carryover of old wheat is estimated at about 630,000,000 bushels, 'This count- ry normally uses about 675,000,- 000 bushels a ycar for all pur- "poses. The crop in Europe this year as Jast year's below average har- vest. Bad weather, lack of labor and military operations have hin- dered farming operations there, Australia Calls Up The Australian Government or- dered that all Commonwealth land forces be brought up to full war strength by calling up additional" personnel. The order requires all unmar- ried men between the ages of 18 and 45, as well as married men from 18 to 35, to report imme- diately for military service. Army Minister Francis Forde said the step was taken on recom- mendation of Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey, Commander of Allied land forces in Australia, and ap- plied to men who were already listed for service but who would not' have been called for rome time. i Intensive battle training for all units was ordered by Gen. Blamey, Mr. Forde said. "How War Affects Farm Auction Sale It Puts Pep Into It, Says The Woodstock Sentinel-Review If you really want to know how the war is affecting Ontario, -: attend one of the farm auctions. Auctioneers say the attendance is away above-the attendance be- fore the war and prices appear to ignore any such thing as price ceilings. Good quality farm ma- chinery is at a premium." Ancient binders dating from before the Great War, they . say, ready market at prices more than half their original cost. . Buggies ave scarce and bring from $20 to $25. Before the war, buggies, good enough for the Jurposs, could be had at auction for $3. Three horses sold for $160 each, A year ago, the . auctioneer said, these horses would have brdught only from $76 to $90. A binder, which Fad . cut two crops, sold for $2856, The market price of the machine to- day, including Federal Tax, is $326. Most surprising of all, a manure spreader, bought second hand two years ago for $46, sold for $116. A crosscut saw, cost- Ing $3.60 when new, sold for $6.26.
