Memory Selection: Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Ezekiel 18:30. This generation has witnessed the transfer Of thousands of peace-loving people from their homes into Siberia and other Parts of Russia, It, is not a new thing. Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Chaldeans took Jehoialdro the king' of Judah and carried him away captive. "Surely at the commandment of the LOrd came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight." During the three months reign of his son, jehoiachin, Nebuchadnezzer laid seige to Jerusalem. Jehoiachin, with his mother, servants and princes went out of the city and tshue nr rteonodke red. all vessels ofNebuchadnezzar gold dand 10,000 captives to. I3abylon. This was the first stage of the cap- tivity of Judah, '- But God did not leave hirnselt without a witness. Among the captives was a youth named Ezekiel. In the fifth year Ezekiel was called to be a prophet. God sent him to his own people in. captivity, "independent children and stiff-hearted." It was a bold message which he must deliver. "Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be yOur ruin." It differs from much of the pop- ular religion today. Ezekiel, said, '"Cast away from you all your• transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, 0 house of Is- rael? FOr I have no pleasure• in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye." Ezekierst message is still timely. Gaining confidence in yourself is not suf- ficient. We must turn from our sins to God or sin will be our ruin. People prefer to keep their pet sins and yet have• a sense of assurance that all is well'..be- tween them and God. This is a false security. God abhors sin. We must abhor it, too. Only then will we find refuge in God. NO PRIVATE EYES IN 5 PROVINCES The last census showed detective agencies in Canada -- 5 in Ontario, 3 in.

Every spy story, sometimes aim OP t unrealistic. But there can be few stranger than the tale of incredible pa- tience told by Kurt Singer in his new book "`More Spy Stories." In the 1920'ds, although it was not publicly apparent, there were Germans behind the scenes who were already making quiet preliminary moves t ow ar what became World War IL Thus, as early as 1923, Alfred. Wehring was sent from Germany as her first naval spy since the 1918 armistice. He Was a distin guished though young naval offi- cer. But his career was abau- cloned, and he was found a job, by German Naval Intelligence, as a salesman for. ,a firm of Ger- man watchmakers. Later he joined a firm in Switzerland to learn the trade of watchmaking: When he was profielent he emigrated to Bri- tain:This was some time in 1927. He' us ed the name of Albert Ortel,, and made himself out to be Swiss. Settling in Kirkwall, near the naval base at Scapa Flow, he first worked for several jewel- lers and finally opened his own gift and watch shop, much visit- ed lay naval personnel. When war was declared, Ortel was the first to hang Out the Union Jack. But in the small cupboard in the b a c k of his shop was a radio transmitter that he had been waiting for twelve years to use on behalf of his Fatherland. How Ortel knew that the Scapa Flow anti-submarine de- fences were penetrable by lt- boats no one can now tell. But he did somehow find out and radioed to Germany accordingly. ' Thus on October 14th, 1939, the submarine U-47 crept into, Scapa TOURIST 7=" Photo- graphed''''HOi"thi-Minh, 'presi- dene'nciOtoriiiiunist Vietminh, grins-at.,kindergarten children in Peiping where he was visit- ing.

U-boat then torpedoed "Royal Oak," whieh sank with a great loss of life. U-47 made her escape without incident. According' to Kurt Singer, Wehring was never employed subsequently as a spy. In retro- spect, one can only wonder, then, why he Was taken back to Ger- many: He had been above sus,- pidiOn where he was. He could probably. have' Continued his work," But Perhaps, with the destruction of "Royal Oak," the Mission assigned to him had been fulfilled..

This loss of energy and blood represents a great waste of for- age and, feed. An animal bother- ed by the parsites may lose as much as half a pound in weight a day, and milk flow may be reduced. as much as 20 per cent, 4' The horn fly resbmbles the house fly, but is only about half as large, The female lays its eggs on fresh cattle manure, and in warm weather the eggs hatch into maggots in less than a day. 4'' * The maggot feeds for five days, then rests as a pupa for about a week before emerging as an adult ready to lay eggs in two days. Thus, the complete life cycle from egg to egg takes only two weeks. At this Fhte, there would be' 12 generations in six months, from spring until fall,, but fortunately, there is usually a decrease in numbers during hot, dry weather. * Horn flies are primarily a pest of cattle, and spend most of their lives upon their unwilling hosts. They feed by piercing the cattle's skin and withdrawing blood. They usually attack the part of the animal's back that cannot be disturbed by a swing of the tail or head. The flies 'are. sensitive to changes in weather. To avoid hot sun or rain, they may con- gregate on the under side of the animal, but when the air is cool 'they frequently infest the base Hof the horn hence, the name ''horn flies," A quick and easy method- of controlling horn flies on dairy cattle, according to agricultural chemists, is to sprinkle a table- spoon of 50 per cent methoxy- chlor insecticide along the back of the cow and then spread it around and rub into the hair with a few sweeps of the hand. It should be distributed evenly over back, neck and, upper sides. Two to three weeks' control has been reported with this treat-, ment. Four pounds of the insec- ticide applied at two-week inter- vals is said to be enough to con- trol flies on up to 20 milk cows for ,0 weeks. * * Our innate urge to "save" things is both a bane and a bless- ing. It can manifest far-sighted thrift or the squirrel-like accum- • ulation of odds and ends. Preserving something for fu- ture use is the usual motive for saving, and, on the face of it, nothing could be more commend- able: Discarding things that can be of further use is wasteful. The problem lies in deciding what has further usefulness, states a writer in "Farm Pro-gress," * * It's usually easy to evaluate material goods. But what of our accumulation of intangibles — the ideas, beliefs and prejudices which are often factors for or' against progress? How many of these should be "preserved for future use" and how many should be discarded as having outlived their usefulness, if, indeed, some ever had any value anyway? * G * The livestock industry, as agri- culture in general, is at a point where a re-evaluation of meth- ods and objectives is no longer optional but necessary. Many outmoded ideas and beliefs are in, the way of the acceptance of changes which have .already proved practical and economical- ly sound. To cite but -one example: Much .of the effort and cost of provid- ing the modern winter housing quarters• for a dairy herd is ap- parently "loves labor lost." The shed loafing barn, with its ac- cumulation of 'droppings well diluted with suitable bedding, offers a. warm bed and. a cool house which, given free choice, cattle prefer to the warm "clean" barn. The saving in labor is striking. Housing is simpler and cheaper, and the milk drawn from "shed" cows in a small milking parlor will likely show a lower bacterial count than that from their barn-stanchioned 51s- * ters. * * Introduction of neve methOds may, in many eases, be-slow be- . cause of 'inadequate educational extension programs. But it can- not be denied -that resistance to change is also a factor, and 'one which often seems to be stronger, in agriculture than in industry, perhaps because of the larger number of individual "entre- preneurs" in the former. • Redardless of causes, the les- son is clear. The periodic "stock taking" of industry with its ac- companying re-evaluation of as- set's could well, be more, often imitated by the farmer. Worn- out ideas and beliefs should be quickly'"written off" as are any other worthless goods. Saving them may be more 'of a liability than the business will stand. - Foreign Trade: Imports ex- ceeded exports by $226100,000 in the first three months in 1952 READS SCIENTISTS' STATEMENT Bertrand Russell, British mathematician and philosopher, reads a statement subscribed to by the late. Albert Einstein and signed by eight 'other emi- nent scientists. It- appeals' to nations to forswear war because of the threat of the hydrogen bomb. Drunken drivers are Singled Out for special attenion in new efforts by the British Govern- ment to reduce road accidents. The geeVrnments' road traffic bill, introduced in the House of COmMOns July 4, is intended as an all-around effort to get tough With road offenders. With 6,250,- 000 vehicles on its gravely in- adequate road system, Britain has one of the worst traffic `problems in the world.. In 1954 there were 238,281 casualties on British roads, in- cluding 5,010 killed and 57,201 seriously injured, May, 1955, was the worst-ever month for road casualties. Public opinion is increasingly impatient with what it regards as governmental failure to take drastic action. An £85,000,000 ($238,000,000) road extension program was announced here July 5. But the opinion of the Labor opposition in the Com- mons and of a large part of the` nation as a whole is that ex- isting plans are completely in Furthermore, existing British laws are .condemned ter being antiquated and unhelpful in countering the road casualty problem. It is at this shortcom- ing in the 'law that the new road traffic bill is aimed. For one thing, the law on drunken drivers Is to be changed. Hitherto, magistrates and juries have been confused in their ruling. It seemed that the law failed to distinguish be- tween a driver who drove when drunk and a driver who recog- nized his inability to drive and took a snooze by the roadside or even parked his car and went home to bed. In this repect the law out- raged public opinion. There was confusion among the police, the medical professions, and the courts. The new bill aims to iron out the anomalies and deal' more severely with drunken driving throUgh fines up to $300, disqualification, and prison sen- tences. The charge of being drunk in charge of a car will be less severe in the hope that motor- ists will be encouraged to desist from driving if they think they are under the' influence of al- cohol. In the course of the Com- mons debate on the new road traffic bill, a former Laborite Home Secretary, Chuter Ede, made an urgent plea to the medical profession to show more responsibility in its court evi- dence on drunken drivers. Mr. Ede, a respected veteran mem- ber of the Commons, spoke from personal experience as a magistrate when he said that doctors often confused jurymen with their evidence. • 1.41 i Leniency Charged Mr. Ede cited a doctor who declared in court that 4he term "drunk" was a colloquial term and he didn't know what it meant. Mr. Ede said it should be quite clear to a doctor when a driver was sufficiently drunk to be incapable of driving with- out due care. Mr. Ede made the serious al- legation that some doctors were inclined to be too lenient with middle-class drivers. In other words, what he appeared to mean was that there was a ten- dency to shield people who were thought to get drunk in a tra- ditional gentlemanly way. Mr. Ede's high standing is ex- pected to give considerable weight to this denunciation of some doctors for being soft with drunken drivers. Mr. Ede said he did not think there should be leniency for dangerous driv- ing when 600 children were be- ing killed on roads every year.

When Farouk stepped from a hotel lift and kissed the hands of his -friends, ,Guido made sure that Mimi was pushed well up front, her fingers extended. When he knew that Farouk was moving from Deauville to Biar- ritz, he made sure of the royal choice of hotels.. Mimi went ahead and it looked as if a bold,, bad monarch was pursuing American innocence. In reality, it ell made publicity . . . for hamburgers! When Marquee; the dancer, came to town, the amazing• story , went around that she was a Bur- mese temple dancer, the first ever- to be allowed to dance on the public stage. On her birth- day, she insisted on riding on an elephant. It made a 'first-rate picture; Marqueez and Jumbo posed alongside a London bus. But then officials in Burma protested that there were •no female temple dancers 'in their country and the truth leaked out. Marqueez was the dancing daughter of a Sheffield tea deal-. er. That vintage temple dancer story, however, helped to make her name. Publicity makes perfect . . . or' at least it's often a decisive factor in moulding 5 career.
