"UNREALITY' was tie subject
OF the Lesson-Sermon in all Christ

that is in the world, the lust of

Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon were the fol-
lowing from the Bible: And one
of the scribes came, and having
heard them reasoning together,

commandment of all? And Jesus
answered him, The first of all the

Carteret growers are giving
much more attention to home

CANADIAN MEATS

Windsor Do Thriving
-"

WINDSOR, Ont, Oct. 6. -(P)-
Two-inch, juicy steaks and a wide
variety of other meat dishes are
attracting unusual numbers of
American Sunday diners to this
border city, just across the river
from Detroit, a survey showed
Sunday.
Horace Wiley, U. S. immigration
Service inspector-in-charge at De-
troit, said that Sunday traffic,
which normally falls off Is per
cent with the end of the summer
travel season, is still running a! the
summer peak.
For instance, 5,239 cars went
through the Detroit Windsor tun-
mel last Sunday" he said. "At the
height of summer travel on Sun
day, August 4, there were $685."
"Our American trade has been
heavy all through the war;" said
the headwaiter at one of the top
roadhouses just outside the city,
"but since meat has been scarcer
in the United States the last month
or so, we've noticed considerable
increase.
NORMALLY business drops off af-
ter Labor Day. bat we're still 60
ing at peak capacity"
Three other roadhousts on Wind
sor's east Side were TANNED by
late afternoon, and license plates
in the parking lots disclosed more
than 80 per cent American patron
age.
Downtown restaurants were sim
ilarily crowded, and discharge but
tons and American money betray-
ed a heavy trade from "across the
river"
Prices downtown were lower than
at the roadhouses. Those who stay
ed near the center of town found
complete meals ranging from s1.25
(for a T-bone steak) to 60 cents
canadian bacon.).
Roadhouse prices went as high
as SO, but one place offered a plat
ter-covering steak with French
fries, vegetables, a%ppetizers, rolls,
dessert and beverage for 81
Asked why he thought Canada
had meat and why it was so cheap,
one proprietor said:
Controls were clamped or meat
at the source and on restaurant
meals four years ago. They never
were taken off and they never have
been raised"
