DCNV main for further expansion of the Air Mail and we are confident that our young friends in the art classes of the schools throughout our Nation, already enthusiastic advocates of aviation, will be more iian delighted to contribute a poster to assist this great nation wide movement. And, through this contest we hope to discover for the Nation artistic talent that will be revealed in the work of thd state and National prize winners, the National Chairman said. The Victorious Servant. Lesson for Today: Acts 2:22-36. Golden Text: Acts 2:32. The disciples were utterly bewil dered by the crucifixon and death of Jesus. It signified a rude shat tering of their dreams. But while they no doubt consciously felt that death on that bitter Cross meant the end of Jesus, deeper down in their unconscious selves their im pulses cried, “No, he still lives! Our beloved Messiah cannot really be dead!” What really happened on that first Easter of blessed memory? The evidence of the gospels is con flicting. Fir^t, we read of an actual bodily resurrection with an empty tomb, and a physical form that could be touched. Second, we have appearances that do not sug gest the actual physical presence of the Master. Consider the, clos ing words of Matthew, when we read of the appearance of Jesus on a mountain in Galilee. Third, we are told of other revelations of the risen Lord which combine the material and the non-material. The walk to Emmaus is a case in point. There we see Jesus walking, talking; entering a house for a visit, sitting at a table and eating food'. But the moment that the two disciples recognized him, as they were eating together, he sud denly vanished. It seems clear that the eye-wit nesses of the risen Jesus actually saw him, but that he appeared to them transformed like an angel with a glorified body such as Peter, James and John saw at the Trans figuration. And “through it all,” as a recent commentator says, “it was the personality of Jesus which they received in resurrection.” That is to say it was not the body but rather “the man as a whole.” And let us bear in mind that the risen Lord appeared only to those who loved him. There is no record of a visit of the resurrected Jesus to a hostile spirit. Only those who were prepared for the resurrection experienced it. To them it was the natural climax of their over whelming love for their Friend. Somewhere in the United States are two school children who will attain nation-wide fame as artists for their assistance in promoting National Air Mail Week, which will begin May 15. The National Air Mail Week Jommittee arranged a poster con- ,est for the boys and girls in the nigh schools and grammar schools and institutions having similar guises oi study, according to an announcement here today by Dixon D. Davis, Chairman of the central committee directing Air k/eex preparations in this ^t&ie. inis contest will close the last day of this month and a few days (harden X^Ork cnereafter the vainer in eacn of, , the 48 states will be announced. The State Chairman announced that any pupil in high scnooi clas ses may compete. He explained that the poster, to be eligible, must relate to the Country’s air mail service of the present and future and its adaptability to the needs of the Nation. That allows the contestants a broad opportunity to use their imagination and to dem onstrate their artistic talents. Posters will be judged 50 per cent on originahty of the idea; 25 per cent for neatness and 25 per cent for adaptability to promotion of the air mail service s further development. The poster should be on cardboard twenty by twenty- five inches. of in corre- For April The most important result of producing vegetables on the farm is improvement which may be ex pected in the health and food habits of the family—not the sav ing of money spent for these sup plies. Medical authorities and food specialists say that to be healthy and strong and active one should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Hints Do not allow tomato plants to grow long-legged. Transplant them to other boxes or frames and give each plant room to become stout-stemmed and stocky. If well a -i, • hardened they may be set in the open 10 days earlier. In setting tomato plants do not follow the old rule of setting only as deep as they stood in the seed bed.. This is not deep enough. A good tomato plant is about eight inches from the root to the top, and about as large as a lead pencil. Set the plants so that half the stem is below the surface of the ground. Plants set in this manner will have roots deep enough to re sist drouth, besides roots will come along the part of the stem that is under the ground.

Hundreds a day are buying it in 1938. Why? Because it is priced low—includes essential equipment without extra * * charge-—and goes farther between filling stations than any Ford car ever built. Owners all over th4 country report averages of 22 to 27 miles on a single gallon of gasoline. But ecopomy isn't all the story by any means.
