Jehosb.aPhat, the son of good King ,Asa was also a good king. He sought the Lord Qed Of his fathers and walked after His commandments. Isis heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord. He sent out 'teachers with the bOOk of the law of the Lord to instruct the people, He went further than that, Though a king he went among the people from Beer-sheba in the south to Mt. Ephraim in the north and brought them back to the Lord God of their fathers, Of what Other monarch is there such a record: King become evange- list, He set judges in the land. warning them to act in the fear of God, to take no bribes and have no respect of persons. Jehoshaphat was anxious for peace with Israel. To assure this he entered into an alliance with wicked. King Ahab. His son, Je- horam, married Athaliah, the wicked daughter of "Ahab and Jezebel, with the result that Je- horam, after his father's death., did evil and even brought Baal worship into the land, thus overthrowing to a large extent the religious reforms of his father Jehoshaphat also made mistakes in going out to battle along with Ahab and with Ahab's son and even in cooper- ating with Ahaziah in building ships, which were wrecked, in • accordance with a prediction of God. Jehoshaphat's victory over the. Moabites shows how God can help those who trust Him. Je-hoshaphat cried, "0 our God, wilt thou not judge ;them? for, we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee." As he and his men sang and praised God the enemy became confused and smote each. other. Without disparaging xnan's*:%, atomic weapons we firmly be- lieve that prayer and righteous- ness will do more to ensure peace and prosperity than the' mad race to accumulate more deadly weapons. Let us turn to God. s USEFUL SUGGESTION A manufacturer, who must be nameless, had the horrible habit of creeping up to his workmen and watching them. One day he called his employees togeth- er. "Whenever I come into the shop," lie said, "I want to see every man cheerfully at work. I am placing a, box here ,and I want anyone who has any sug- gestions as to how this may be brought about more efficiently to write the idea down and slip it in." Next day he opened the box. Sure enough there was a slip with a suggestion scribbled on it. He took it out and read: "Take the rubber heels off your shoes," Newspapers, TV, radio, maga- zines-the communications field -need 500 trained people each , year.

"To hit your mark of success in any line of ' work, you must sight your target and aim carefully. But agriculture offers you a broad target. If, you choose agriculture, it's hard to miSSI" They are told: "Agriculture provides more jobs and careers in the city than on farms , more jobs and careers than any other industry," * Some unusual statistics are cited, Of 62 million employed Americans, 25 million work somewhere in agriculture - about 40 per cent, About 15 per , cent of the population grows all the food and fiber for the na- tion. The rest of the 40 per cent are the specialists who attend the farmer and serve his needs. Since, •1940, 35 per cent fewer farmers produced 44 per cent more food and fiber though the entire field was expanding. In the nation's agricultural schools, 65 per cent of the stu-' dents were, city boys and girls.

In Glasgow recently the Queen and the Duke of Edinbergh tried out e revolutionary Pew pat- tern for royalty. They Walked down an erdinarrstreet and in- to the houses and gardens. They left their equerries and detece tives behind and talked to the ordinary people. The Queen chatted to the housewives• and murmured, "l'n1 glad you like it," when one ads, mired her brooch, The Duke Peeked into, a bathroom. When a little girl forgot to hand over a bouquet, the Queen took it. It was the essential follow-up to an experiment they had al- ready tried out in Australia and New Zealand. Though the street was cordoned off, the Queen and her husband dropped in like friends and neighbours, And maybe for an hour her Majesty was closer to the beating heart of her realm than in a whole day of speechmaking and civic rites. "It was like a dream," peo- ple said. Actually there-must be thousands. of people every night who cosily dream that, royalty has poPPecl:, in to tea, Psycholo- gists etas§ this as one of the most frequent encountered "wish fulfilment" dreams,' Wife of a circus hand, Mrs. Eileen Mawker admits she was daydreaming in this fashion when aroused by a tap at the door. Andthere stood Princess Margaret asking if she could peep at her caravan. With a group of friends, the Princess had 'attended the circus ... but wouldn't rest content until she had seen how the show folk lived. Mrs. Mawker asked the Prin- cess to autograph the waif ' of her little home. "I'm afraid that's against the rules," H.R.H. smiled. But a few days later there arrived a letter of thanks from Clarence House, which Mrs, Mawker has had framed. Every week three or four hospitable. hopefuls write to Buckingham Palace to tell 'the Queen and the Duke that they would be welcome any time they are ' passing.

Chet Miller was winging along at 115 miles per hour when suddenly his car skidded on an oil patch, whirled into the air, and catapulted over the wall , as one hundred thousand, panic- stricken spectators . screamed with horror. By soine` miracle,' Miller's car landed sqUarely on its four wheels in an adjoining field. Without a, scratch on him, Chet drove his battered racer around. the outside wall, through a gate, and into the pits. His crew, which had given him up fbr dead, almost jumped out df their Skins when he appeared, think-. ing him a ghost. Although out of the' running, Chet remained in the pits and watched the rest of the race, y happy to be alive. Miraculous Escape . tilizer is essential and the soil must be well worked and rich. In double cropping, we alter- nate rows Of an early kind with a later one, for instance, radish and carrots, or lettuce and beans, or peas and potatoes. We also have less space than. nor- " mal between the rows, if neces- sary no more than 12 or 15 inches. The early stuff, of course, comes on quickly and is used up before the later matur- ing. vegetables require full room. Another practice it to follow the harvesting of the first vege- tables like the peas, lettuce, spinach, radish, early onions, etc., with another sowing of the same or something else ,that will be ready say in August or Sep- tember. Then there are certain crops like squash, pumpkins, that we can plant in the outside rows and we can have staked tomatoes along the end of any vegetable row and cucumbers along the fence.

Not long after he offered "any color of car prOVided it was black" - the public insisted on color. But the vogue for white Wedding gowns introduced more than 100 years ago by the wife Of Napoleon III is still as fashionable as ever, Before 1850 brides were any shade that caught their fancy, including red, green, purple and brown, Recently,. brides have been making a slight concession to the current rage for color in every-, thing by wearing pale pastels under white sheers. When in-, terpreted in light, airy materials such as embroidered nylon or- gandy, tulle or lace, the result is adelicacy of coloring and fabric comparable, to Dresden figu- rines, The Empress Eugenie is als0 credited with launching lace as the traditional bridal favorite. Since the royal wedding gown cost' the equivalent of $40,000, she probably would have had few followers if a machine hash* been invented to mass produce the thousands of yards of lace brides have subsequently worn each year. For as little as $60 this spring's bride .can float up the middle aisle enveloped in lace. She can manage it On even less if she selects a combination of nylon lace and tulle. Though brides of today are just as traditional in their choice of wedding gowns as their mothers and grandmothers, they are considerably more practical. Many insist on designs, with jackets, boleros, redingotes, de- tachable ruffles or underskirts which can be removed for even- ing or semi-formal wear. The redingote style is popular this year because the long jacket can be worn over a night-gown as a negligee. Shorter skirts are gaining over floor-sweeping lengths since they convert so readily to party frocks. Jacques Michel, a Montreal specialist in bridal designs, likes to pluck his inspiration directly from bouquets• of seasonl flow- ers. He is fond of the soft pastels of sweet peas, which provided the color themes for several weddings. One bride wore em- broidered white nylon organdy over palest pink, while her three attendants were in soft sweet pea shades of blue, mauve and pink. All carried matching bou- quets of sweet peas. For another wedding, the yel- low' centres of daisies carried by the bride, matched the under- Isirt of her white sheer gown, while her atendants were in a deeper tone of yellow. The couturier recently used navy organdy liberally' heaped with white for bridesinaids' dresses. A shimmering effect was created by using plain white organdy over an organdy WhiCh had beets embroidered in a contrast- ing color. Mr. Michel clairris that white is not always too flattering on -brides who have passed the mid- twenties mark unless they are tall'and still quite slim.' He pre.: fers to dress older brides in muted shades like champagne, which do not magnify the figure. , Mothers, he says, usually find deep blue most flattering be- cause it sets off their blue-grey hair Before ordering flowers some thought s,hould be given to the way they photograph. For in- stance, pale colors are preferred because deeper tones often pho- tograph too dark. Those who expect commercial dyers to turn their white wedding gowns into evening dresses should consult an expert dyer before selecting the style and fabric. 'Many responsible firms will refuse to dye attire unless it is very simple in style and of a sturdy fabric, - - •,- - 11: Tog 35.
