*y Derelict Vessel Proves Lifesaver ing increased 'in the vast-hinter: - Shipwrecked Men Drift To Ghost Ship And Are Reseued The story of a derelict ship in mwid-ocean, that proved a haven of rest for a dozen British sallore whose own vessel had been tor- pedoed, and: who were so weak from: exposure and lack of food efter battling a continuous gale for eight days, that they could not OW any more, was told in the British Broadcasting Corporation's mews reel not long ago from Lon- don Two men had been injured by the torpedo that had struck thelr ship; four men were so slck they were hepless and two weve mess and cabin boys. - When the ship was sighted rockets were fired from the lifeboat, but there was no sign of recognition from the big ship. They were too weak to row towards her, but a favor- able wind drifted their boat right in its course. The ship did not seem to be moving, On the con- trary, she was seemingly walting for tho lifeboat and Captain Fin. nington, who was In the latter, de- clded that she was a derelict. By a great effort the lifeboat was moved alongside, But the difficulty wag to get aboard her. However, a strong young fireman clamber. ed up and let down a rope ladder, by means of which the others eventually got aboard. "All wero in pretty 'bad shape, with stiffened limbs and swollen fect," said the captain, "and it was some time before we could stand up, But eventually we got bolter and started exploring the hip. We found food and water but It was slow work getting strength back. You don't recover in a few hours from an experience Hke that. We tried to get the bolter working and after two days got 100 pounds of pressure, and the men came up from the stoke- hold and fell on the deck -- they . badn't any strength. . "It was beyond human endeavor that men so weakened could get the engines under way. But I had to keep the men doing something and for three days we carried on. "On the eighth day the lookout called out that there was a ship in sight. And so there was, a ship that was a blaze of light--it scem- ed a strange ship to us. We sont up rockets, and they sent a boat over, and we all transferred to it --a neutral ship. A few days later wo wore transferred to another ship and brought to a British port --the two wounded men wo left aboard the neutral and they are all well now."

Soviet Oil Reserve Beyond Nazi Reach British oil experts estimated not 16ng ago that Russia has more than 100,000,000 barrels of oil in storage or in production In reg- fons other than the Caucasus and beyond the reach of the German armies driving south, These experts, who declined to be quoted by name, said the Rus. slan armies could fight on for some months on this reservoir alone because: 1. Russian oil production is be- land far to the east of the Volga. . 2, Civilian use' has been cur- tailed since, the. war started. 8. Russian exports of oil, in- cluding some to Germany, de- ereased in the years prior to the war and halted entirely when Gem many inaded the Soviet.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time, Approximately 1800 B.C. Place, Principally Gerar and Beersheba, cities of Southern Palestine. . . Isaac the Well-Digger 18. "And. Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abra- ham his father; for the Philist- ines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by + which his father had called them: 19. And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. 20. And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaacs herdsmen, saying, 'The water is ours': and he called - the name of it-Sitnah. 22, And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they. strove not: and: he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, for now Jchovah hath made" room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land." Isaac called the name of the first well Esek, meaning contention, because of 'his experience with the men of Gerar; when compelled to leave this well, he called the next one dug by the name Sitnah, meaning enmity, for the opposition of the Philistines was now becoming ac- tually pesecution. . He now- re. moved much further away, to Re- hoboth, forty miles from Gerar, "whore he was left undisturbed by those who had so sorely been har- assing him. Almost all who have 'preached from this particular por- tion of our lesson have empha- sized the truth that all of us have wells in our lives, at one time or another, which, once flowing with . abundant and refreshing water, have been choked by various ex- periences, by doubt, and the ne- Covenant With lsaac 24, "And Jehovah appeared un- to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abralmm thy father: fear not, for I am with thee and will bless thee and multi- ply thy sced for my servant Ab- raham's sake. 25, And he build- ed an altar/there and called upon the name of Jehovah, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's ~ servants digged a well." Beer- sheba was a sacred place in the life of Isaac's family, and here it would seem, in God's plan for his life, he truly belonged. - Here God appeared to him with a prom- ise of particular preciousness, Here for the first time, we find the now familiar title, "tho God of Abraham", NE ~ Isaac at once responded to this Divine revelation. 'He builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Ismac's ser- vants digged a well. Let us mark carefully these four stages, in the patriarch's restored life)" First - comes the altar "with its thought _ of consecration, then prayer' with its conseiousness of "need, then the tent with its wit- "ness to home, and then comes the well with its testimony to daily life and neéds, The altar and the: home sum up everything that is true in life, First the altar and then the home, not first the home and then the altar God must be first in everything, Enemies As Friends 26. "Then Abdimelech' went to Jibm from Gerar, and 'Ahuszath his friend, and Phicol the captain 'of hin host. 27. And Isaac maid unto them, Wherefore are yo * a es Re bb pr neg covenant with him and his people, to do them no hurt, an agreement upon which Isaac entered at once. Isaac won the friendship of his opponents by his patience, as the come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and hgve sent me away from youl 28. And they said," We saw plainly that Jehovah was with thee: and we said, Let there now verses after the text tell, Their be an oath betwixt us, even be- consciences and hearls were twixt us and thee, and let us touched, and they 'saw plainly make a covenant with thee, 29, that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as wo have done unto thee noth- Ing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou are now the blessed of Jehovah, 80. And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink, 81. And they rose up betimes in the morning and sware one to anoher: and Isaac sent them away, and -they de- parted from him in peace." Tho first word of this paragraph Is very significant, then. When Is- aac came to the placo where God definitely wanted him to be, as soon as an altar-had been set up, and 'the worship of God resumed, then another blessing came into his life, namely, peace with those who formerly were his enemies. Not long before this, Abimclech had told Isaac to get out of his sight; now the very same man comes to Isaac, acknowledging that God was with Isaac, and ask- Ing that he would enter into a that the Lord was with him,' and sued him for alliance, It is better to turn enemies into friends than to beat them and have them as enemies still, But 'when a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.'

Ivan Picot, 12, promptly impro- vised a tourniquet, which control- led the bleeding until the boys could reach the Strathroy Hospi- tal. Jack was a patient there for several days, LJ] * .

All I know Is that it's all 'et up". Soggobably it's just as well not to register." Luftwaffe Dreads "Rocket Apparatus One of the "surprise weapons' used by the Maritime Regiments at sea against attacking enemy alrcraft is the rocket apparatus ~earried by defensively armed mer. chant ships. These rockets are one of the weapons most dreaded by the Luftwaffe, They carry up into the air long wires Bup- ported by parachutes, so that they remain in position for an ap- preciable time, and the method of using them is to time and place their discharge so that the attack- Ing "bomber must either swerve away from his bombing position or become entangled with the wires and be destroyed by them. 0 That screen door on Elm St. in Clifford Goldsiith's mythical Centerville is soon to start bang- ing again.
