The total area burned over was 1,838,471 acres, compared with an annual average- of 2,428,659 acres for the previous decade, 'The - number of fires was less than the average for the previous decade in all provinces, Favorable conditions and fewer people visit- ing the forests as a result of re- duced tourist travel no doubt ac counted for this reduction in the number of fires. However, In spite of the reduced number of fires, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia reported the area burned and the cost plus damage to be very considerable above normal. This may be the result" of a reduction in skilled staff and a shortage of manpower for fire- fighting due to the waf effort.

And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceed- ing mighty; and the land was fill- ed with them." God's blessing was upon the people, which he had promised to make 'as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is God 1s love. by human carelessness. This, says the St, Thomas Times-Journal, Is. a rather sad commentary in the face of the scarcity of men to Jight fire and the importance of Canada's forests to the war ef- fort. Such carelessness destroys valuable timber needed in the war effort; ruins recreation spots which 'the boys overseas have every right {0 expect to be preserved for their roturn; may so fill the- air with smoke haze as to serlously, impede "alr travel and the operation of air-tralning schools and may re- quire men engaged on war work to lay down their tools to tight fire. - Lot everyone who has occaslon to-¢nter the forest this year sér- fously consider the responsibility which rests upon him to make ab- solutely sure he does not start a forest fire with clgaretteg, mateh- es, camp fires or other means, Romember--forest fires help the enemy, ) .~_: By Airliner From & Lisbon To London "Travelers On Route Not £0.

The: Affilction of Egypt "Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph, And he said unto his people, Be- hold, the people of the children of lsrael are more and mightier than-we: come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falloth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight agalnst us, and get them up:y out of the land." Co In alliance with the other Can- aanite nations, with the Philis- tines, and even with the Arabs, the Hittites threatened an invas- fon of Egypt, which, it was felt, might have the most disastrous consequences. What, If. this con- tingency actually occurred, would be the part taken by the -Israel- ftes? Might it not be that they would 'Join themselves to Egypt's enemies, and fight against- the Egyptians', and so elther help to bring them under subjection to the Hittites, or else 'get them- golves up out of the land'? The Israelites occupied the porllon of Egypt which the Hittites would first enter; if they joined tho en- emy- they would dellver into his hands a large tract of most valu- able territory, and put him in a position from which he would threaten the most important of the Egyptlan citles--Tanis, Hellopolis, Bubastis, Memphis.

Rameses was noted for his vast building enterprises, and just at the time when he needed thousands of men to construct new. public works throughout Egypt, he found it op- portune and possible to force these helpless Hebrews to work prac- tically as slaves In the making of brick and laboring on tho wally of these buildings under the blist- ering sun of North Africa. The attempt to reduce the popu- latlon of the Hebrews by hard work faded, so the Pharaoh of Egypt proposed a much more dras- tle 'scheme. He Issued an order that every baby boy born of a Hebrow mother should be killed at once. This order was not obey- ed. Then - Pharaoh charged his people, saying; 'every son that fs born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive' No doubt for several years (many thousands of innocent J¥es were - sacrificed, Stil), tho Ming's purpose was not affected. one way or another Qod's will tri umphed over man's and people, doomed to extinction by the highest human power which existed on earth at the time, was preserved by (od's . providence through all the perils which threat- ened it, to become, according to the promisd given to Jacob's 'a na- 'tion and a company of nations.

OFRB Toronto, rocognis. ing that daytime programmes fro- quently have a limited audience, due to the activities of houschold and war work duties on tho part of the women, and because a large proportion of the men are at work, has undertaken the policy of re broadcasting during the evening hours certaln programmes origin- ally heard earlier In the day. The Columbia presentation "Trans- Atlantle Call" Is ono example. Due to the fact that this programme originates on alternate Sundays in the British Isles and the Un- ited Sates it has Sulit -4p-a-very extepsive, listening audience. Many chufch goers however, have found that they are not back from ehurch n time to hear the 1230 noon Sunday broadcast. In order that "TransAtlantic Call" may be brought to the larger evening audiences, the original programme 13 being recorded for delayed broadcast every Sunday evening at 8 o'clock over CFRD Toronto. . . .
