Lo . £5 Sa A ACER Boner Fa 3 hE AE A EAT o 4 Made With Bones, Hair, Oddments The mgenuity shown by prisoners of war in faghioning models with improvised tools and crude ma- terials is astonishing, Odd pieces of wood, stone, fragments of metal, picces of string, bones, hair -- to mention but a few items--are care- fully hoarded. Anything that can be of use in design and construction is utilized. At the Parker Gallery, in London, ' there is a magnificent display of old- ship models, Many of them, made to scale by Napoleonic prisoners of war, are wounded examples of de- tail and craftsmanship. Running rigging can be worked, sails can be handled, and in some cases the guns, made from copper or brass, can"be run in- and out-board. : For the hullsy-the prisoners used pieces of ivory, or animal bones saved from the prison rations and sawn into "timbers." Ships were fitted and rigged with anything sal- vaged from camp refuse heaps. Often the intricate rigging was erected at the expense of the crafts- men's pigtails; gold ear-rings and other personal trinkets being beaten out to serve as strappings for the masts, or hinges for the rudder and other metal parts. : One ship has her sails delicately modelled from ivory whittled down - to the thiness fo paper, Little did those old-time modellers realize that these examples of their superb craftsmanship would one day be sold for many hundreds of pounds. - "> Skin Deep--Seeking a "differ- ent" kind 'of jewelry to relieve the solid black of this plunging- neckline dinner gown, designer Lili came up with this glitter- ing leafy pattern, which is ap- pliaued directly to the model's skin.. Achieved by sprinkling sequins on a spirit gum base, the fier decoration is not onl 'smart-lopking, but also foils would-be jewel thieves. Foll-s Have Made Leaving the farm 25 years ago and moving to a small town was my: 'mistalie.

Now with better roads, rural electrification, modern machinery for the farm, and dream houses and recreation for. the farm women, I look back with regrets thot we did not stay-n) the country and help to makd it a better place to ive. The green pastures, the cat- tle on the hills, and the ponds of still waters are much more soul-sat- isiying than anything he town has to offer. Neither of fly two boys is a farmer.

You know, an Ontatio heat wave without shade makes me think of the Western prairie. Hot, blistering sun -- and for miles and miles, not a free in sight, So often out West I used to long for a tree -- just one tree -- where one could sit for a few minutes enjoying the shade and the cooling sound of wind rustling the leaves. Well, we may not have appreci- ated that spell of unseasonable heat but Mother Nature seemed to like it. The newly sown spring grain cane up before it was hardly in the ground; bare cherry trees almost blossomed overnight; welcome rhu- barb made its appearance and was ready just as we had finished the last of our 'winter frult supply. We also managed to get our garden in and I am hoping it, too, will share in the quick growing season. CW.

Y . % Our garden could 'have gone in sooner but I had to wait until our men were through seeding. Oh yes, I could have 'done it myself, except that any time I tackle the job alone I never get the rows straight -- even though I measure distances between rows very carefully and have a string line fo guide me--maybe it is because the rows are so long. Anyway, to avoid justified ¢eriticism afterwards, 1 wait for Partner to help me with the job. Now when the garden comes up I won't hear scathing comments such as -- ° "Crooked as a snake-rail fence . .. how can you hope to scuffle rows like that , . . if I couldn't put in a garden straighter than that I'd eat my shirt!" ' So you see what I mean... Of course I also prefer straight rows in a garden but when I get hold of a hoe to scoop out the seed rows it seems to go every which-way. I wonder what would happen if I had to plough a straight furrow! Incidentally, our Honey was a great help in putting in garden, As soon as a nice, cool, moist furrow .was scooped out Honey would flat- ten herself out in the middle of it And then, no sooner was she chased out of it than I would turn round and find her running off with a packet of seeds. Reproved again she 'would look at us sideways as much as to say -- "Well, what can a fellow do?" Probably at that mo- ment Black Joe would appear and then chasing the cat would solve Honey's. problems for the time be- ing. On the whole putting in garden _ #8 a nice job . . . one has only to look up to see a elear-cut view of "the mountain" -- the sandpits at e brickyards breaking and intensi-' ng the dense green of the hills and fields. How we should miss it # the earth should suddenly open and swallow our: "mountain" -- or, to give it what I believe is its true geographical description -- the Nia- - gara Escarpment, And then, in the garden, we have the song of the birds. We have so many birds around here --_ nothing very rare _ perhaps -- but because many of our belong to a common species does not make their joyous singing ahy less pleasant to listen to. Blackbirds and orioles vie with each other in song, with the cheery bob-o-link and song sparrow joining in. Yes, our birds provide us with a music festival of the air. One day as I listened to a bird singing, I recalled a poem of Wordsworth's that I loved as a child although it used to make me feel I wanted to hide some place and cry -- it has such a lilting sad- ness, If any farm readers get a little fed up with farm life at times, look through any collection of poems and you will probably find the one I have reference to -- "The Reverie of Poor Susan". Read it, and imagine yourself as Susan, walking through Wood Street, on your way .to work, as she probably was -- and think what it would mean to hear "in the silence of morning the song of the bird". Well, .I seem to have run out of space -- and IT had quite a lot to say about birds -- and cats, but maybe I'll get aroupd to it next week. For the present I'll" leave this question with you -- can we keep both cats and birds? I say yes -- but only if you love them both, 'Bye for now .'. . more next week -- I hope!

One fundamental principle both of good business and of good public relations is to keep your customers or public informed in advance of any change in policies or charges which may affect them. Here's what happened to one sav- ings bank depositor, says a writer in The Financial Post. Mystified by a 25-cent charge in his bank book for each of the last. two months, this depositor asked the bank to explain it last week. The ac- countant informed him that all the Canadian banks had agreed to a new arrangement for the service charges which became effective on Jan. 1, 1949. In his case the charge was because he went one cheque over the free limit allowed in 'each month. Had he known he could have avoid- - ed this charge. He still has not re- ceived any notification nor seen any sign announcing the change. No one will deny that the banks should be able to make a reasonable charge for their services. But surely if they change the '"rules"--i.¢, the basis for the. charges--they should notify their ciistomers at the time and post the new schedule promin- ently in the bank offices. That is only good business practice. It would avoid that distasteful feeling that "They tried to slip one over." How many of those: Modern Etiquette "By Roberta Lee Q.

Gentile and lew had col- laborated in sentencing to death r LESSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren Jesus Sentenced to Death John 19: 1-16 Golden Text: "Christ . , . when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He" suffered, He threatened not. 1 Peter 2:21, 23. ~The Jewish religious leaders had decided that Jesus was worthy of death because he blasphemed in say- ing that he was the Son of God. But being a subject people, they were unable to carry out the death sentence. So they led Jesus to Pilate, the Roman emperor. Pilate examined Jesus and announced, "I find in Him no fault at all." But the infuriated faders would not accept such a verdict, Pilate sought to evade the issue by sending Jesus to King Herod of Galilee who was in the city that day. But Jesus was returned. 'Then he sought to pla- cate the wrath of the accusers by scourging Jesus, determining them to release him. But that failed, As- cording to custom, he offered to release a prisoner. Whom would he release-- Jesus, or Barabbas, a mur- derer? To his dismay, they chose Barabbas. Pilate was troubled. His wife warned him, 'Have nothing to do with this just person, for I have suffered many things this night in a dream because of him! He pre- sented Jesus before them as a harm- less man, crowned with thorns. But they would not relent. In desperation they threatened. "If thou let this man go, thou are not Ceasar's friend." Pilate under- stood. If he did not yield to their demands, they would report him to Ceasar. His record would not stand the scrutiny of the firm emperor. He had mingled the blood of Galileans with their sacrifice, He must choose between Jesus and what appeared to be his self-interest, between right and selfishness, He chose the latter. Washing his hands in professed in- nocency, he delivered Jesus to be God's well-beloved Son. Tradition says that the Jews ou a later occasion complained of Pilate's conduct. On his way to Rome to answer for his deeds, he committed suicide, Some have. sought to excuse Pilate on the ground that he was a tool of Providence to carry out God's plan, But Pilate was a free moral agent. His sin was not neces- sary for our salvation. The glaring fact is that there are Pilates all about us: men and women and youth who are placing self before Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "Whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and who- soever will lose his left for my sake shall find it." Matt, 16:25.
