God does bless his people. Btd let us remember that the conclio tion of discipleship laid dOWS. by Jesus hasn't changed 'If any man will conie after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Not A Job For a Poet It is recorded that a half Cen- tury age a distinguished guest from china was shown a new4 1Y eenWieted link in the New York subway, "This," he was told, "will save three minutes on a trip, from Brooklyn to the Bronx." "And what will you do With the-three ',Mutes?" was, the viSi. ,tor's serenely courteous response. Essentially the same question will be asked of motOrists-in-a hurry by a campaign against highway speed as such under discussion at, the recent fifth annual meeting of the North- eastern Conference of the State Coordinators. Twenty-five states are now cooperating, and the conference anticipates a 48-state effort within wto years. From. Ohio come a few an- swers to the question put speed- ing motorists: Hurrying home to a favorite dish at dinner; rac- ing to make the beginning of a certain TV show, Other drivers ingenuously -- or cynically - boast of beating the best-known time for a pleasure jaunt. More and more are safety, offi: cials pointing to speed and liq- uor as the two greatest killers on the highway. Both must be fought relentlessly and on every front. But it is valuable to un- derline speed separately now and then. For there are drivers who, escew' drinking and driv- ing for .themselves and con- demn it in others, yet blithely "burn the wind" without con- cern for the law or for. the safe- ty of others. Confessing Christ Today Matthew 16:1347 Memory Selection: Whom -.Say ye that I am? Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matthew 16;1647, On more than one occasion Peter spoke unadvisedly, (Mat- thew 1622; Mark 9:5,6; John 21:21). But his great, confession (quoted in the -memory selec- tion) is, eloquent, proof of his spiritual insight, Jesus said, "Flesh and blood hath not re- vealed it unto thee, but my Fa- ther which is in heaven." No one fully appreciates the Divin- ity of Jesus Christ until he re- turns from his sin and proves by faith that Jesus Christ is really a Saviour. Jesus said , he would build his church, not on Peter (Petros) but on this rock (petra). What is this rock but the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? truth through Divine illumina- tion. Peter was promised the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. His was to be the responsibilty of first introducing the Gospel to the Gentiles. The usage of the terms bind and loose by. Jo- sephus and in the Talmud shows that to bind meant to forbid and to loose meant to allovi.

Poets, painters and pianists are among the people the Can- ada Council will be able to help. It will undoubtedly seek and obtain the advice of gifted and representative people in all the arts. But, there is no good rea- son why its chairman or the members of its governing'branch, should themselves be persons capable of producing a sonnet a landscape, or a sonata. On the contrary, there is every reason, why the chairman and most 1 his board should have the quite different talents of a business- man. They will have an executive job, a job of getting things dons spending money wisely, man• 'aging staff, allotting grants fairly to various kinds of effort, sizing up the responsibility of those who ask for or recommend the Council's support.

Con- testants are presented only in native dress, not bathing suits. region the models of neatness that they are, with even the trees in the house yards being treated to a coat of whitewash each spring. Whitewashed trees make the yard look more trim, but the main theory is that whitewash protects the trees from disease and insects. Every farm nes its orchard of apples, a grove of peaches, and "pie cherry" trees along the lane. The Amish think highly of their trees, and, this characteristic was bequeathed to them from ances• - ters who deliberately chose to out down the tall forest trees instead of girdling them and leaving them to die, as was the custom then. Nowadays it is a common sight to see a few fine trees growing in the fields, and they are there because the far- mer could not hear to cut them down. Eli, being, the only son of par- ents who are considered well- to-do by local standards, will have the best they can 'afford to give him. Ctistont decrees that the groom be given a bode, har- ness, a cow, a plow and harrow, and perhaps some,other farm, machinery, a pig O two, some furniture for the house, and probably some dishes, and linens. The bride, as ,,her dower, is expected to' bring a cow and, some chickens, a stove, a cup- board, a table, a bureau, • a bed and bedclothing, six chairs and a rocker to match, linen, dishes, hams, potatoeS, canned fruit, and a barrel of flour. And wedding gifts from relatives will include not only such usual presents as' dishes, clocks, lamps, and linens, but also such practical gifts as axes, hammers, wrenches, cross- cut saws and other tools neces- sary on a farm. Down from the Zaugg" attic come treasures that would make any antique collector drool: four-poster beds, bureaus, tables, corner cupboards, porch settees, and chairs, all of which have, been bought at county auctions, or else handed down in the fa- mily for generations. Anna and Hilda are wild with delight over the prospect of shin-, ing up the polished pieces and painting the wicker ones. There is net a trace of jealousy in their generous hearts. Eli is their bro- ther, someone very special, and they know, too, that there will be enough for all. So they hoard the money they make from rais- ing rabbits and dressing them for market to buy linens and to make pretty kuppa-kissa (pil- low cases) and other necessary household items to show their joy at having a new sister. No farm work, ever mars the Sabbath here. Even milk is not collected• on. Sundays, but used in the house for cooking or given to the pigs. And when, af- ter church, the people gather to visit' at some chosen farmhouse, Eli' does not sit with the older men, but frolics a bit with the "unmarrieds." And there is no talk whatsoever of love and marriage by anyone. Amish courtingS proceed according to custom, and young couples do not pair off, except to,go to' Sun- day night singings, when a boy may ask his favorite girl to ride with him, and usually his sister or sisters. But we know that a wedding is to be, and it makes everything more exciting. On the first Sun- day that the, banns are read, the intended bride will stay at, home; Eli will be in church. Af- ter the reading he will, leave immediately and go to her home, where she awaits his coming. It will be a solemn •moment, but a thrilling one as well. As Hilda says, "It's goose bumps I get, just thinking about it." But it is all in the accepted "order of gen- tle ways as lived by gentle pee- ple.-By Mabel Slack Shelton• in The Christian •Science Monitor.

For low to me- diumItall hedges, evergreen spe- cies of •moderate height and of fitter appearence (cedars and junipers) are to be preferred. C • * The choice of an evergreen hedge and the species selected must bear a relationship to other evergreens used in the layout or landscape plan, otherwise the, evergreen hedge may seem somewhat out of place. The height will be governed by the space available and the purpose to be served. Usually a taller hedge is needed for a screen than fora background. For low hedges three to five feet high, plants should be spaced from 18 to 24 inches, apart in a single row, and around 36 inches apart for taller hedges. Pruning is the most important step in the maintenance of an evergreen hedge. Pruning is sel- dom required more than once a year and only light pruning ra- ther than shearing is needed to keep the hedge compact. This will encourage new growth from lateral buds. Evergreen hedges retain their natural appearance if prnners or secateurs rather than shears are used for pruning them. * * * Evergreen hedges are best pruned in late July or early Au- gust. If pruning is carried Out then there is still time for fresh buds to mature and be condi- tioned for the prOduction of new shoots the following spring. In pruning, the. hedge should be kept narrow at the top so that sunlight may reach needles at the bottom and keep them green and healthy. By careful and timely pruning as described, a very compact and attractive evergreen hedge can be devel- oped and maintained at low cost. Such .a hedge can be a valuable asset where winters are rela- tively long. , Steers regularly bring, higher prices per pound on the market . than heifers but this spread, in price is by no means uniform on the various markets or at dif- ferent seasons of the year. ' Comparison of eight , years average sales records, on the Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Calgary markets show that. To- ronto usually has the smallest spread, Montreal 'the largest;' with. Calgary and Winnipeg be- tween the two and Calgary clos- est to Toronto.. They also show the spread is greatest on all markets in the late fall and early winter months when the largest percentage of heifers to steers come on the market. * • The lower prices for heifers are stated as due to smaller dressing percentages for heifers, more waste in cutting heifer car- casses into Whblesale and retail . cuts, and, a smaller' percentage of the heifer than „of the steer carcass going 'iritO the higher Priced retail„ents. * * * The Marketing. Service of the Depertment has assembled the available records on the' relative dressing percentages of steers and heifers (of the same grade and weight) from different areas as means of 'checking how far actual figures supped these statements. These records indi- cate, that steers dO tend to, show higher dressing percentages than heifers but the differences are small and'in many cases, heifers • exceeded the steers. There were, far greater differences between individual steers or individual heifers than between steers and belief's' as such. * S Only a limited number of re- cords are available on the wast- age in cutting carcasses or the relative percentageS, going into the higher priced -cuts. Those collected to date indicate about the same trends as in dressing 'percentage, The average for most of the tests show steer carcasses as slightly superior to those from heifers' of the same grade and weight, but with many ex- ceptions. And 'again the differ:- ence between the two is consid- .'erably less than between indivi- ' -dual steers or heifers. • Many More cutting records are required before definite' conclu- sions can be drawn DePartriten- tal officials are seeking; in co- • operation with producers, pack- ers and retailers; to Obtain suffi- cient records, particularly in re- lation to retail cuts, to establish if possible the relationship be- .,tweed the two in terms of Meat value per carcass of equal grade and Weight. • * A more detailed summary or interim tepid oh the records assembled to date is available mimeograph forth and will be Sent to this interested on re- .quest.

Nobody says anything publicly, yet surely a lot of peo- ple must know about the mar- ried-man's carriage being built for Eli in the local. Weggli schoop. He goes over often to see 'how the work is progressing on it; Emmaline and I have dropped In twice to check. It is a long and tedious job to build an Amish carriage. All machines used in its construction are run by small gasoline en- gines, since the shop is without electricity, and all the different wooden parts used are fitted and bolted together with the same care employed by the finest cab- inet makers. The shafts and wheels have been ordered from a factory in Philadelphia, but it will be weeks yet before the finish coats of shiny black paint are applied and the gray canvas top put on. Seeing some sixty-five or so of these carriages pulled up in a barnyard on meeting day, one wonders how the owners ever tell them apart, so alike are they. However, on being questioned, Emmeline shrugs and says, "Oh, we yoost look at 'em and know." Meanwhile, other events have pointed up the fact that a wed- ding is in the offing. Amos and Eli took time out from farming to attend, the Thursday cow sale and came back with a fine young heifer. The girls and Emaline had a pretty gwicld in the frames before the usual time for quilting in the fall and winter. Knowing her so well, I detect that Emmaline wishes the wed- ding could be in her home. She would love all the hustle and bustle attendant on a wedding, and the work would be nothing but pleasure for her. Since this cannot be, she will try to con- tent herself with doing what she can to insure its success. The parents of both bride and groom will do their utmost to give the young couple the best possible start in life. It is the dream of every Amish farmer to give each of his sons a farm. And since their earliest days in this country' theAmish have striven to conserve the fertility Of the land and if possible in- crease it. With his idea of per- manency, the Amish farmer thinks of himself as holding the land in trust; as being honor- bound to pass it on to his sons as rich and fertile -avhe'readived' it from his father. The wasteful- methods that wore out the good earth of the tidewater plantations in the South were avoided' by- the Plain People of Pennsylvania, who,. considered it sinful to deplete the land so. And long before lime was widely used in other areas •as a soil builder and sweetener, the limekiln •was 'a farniliar fee- ture of the early Dutch land- scape. It is this same sense of oblige- . tion which keeps farms in this MERRY MENAG,ERIE. Farmers with sudan grass ex- perience Say 'grazing can start when the sudan is 18 inches tall. Graze it down to six to 10 inches and then remove the ani- mals to permit the sudan to recover to 19 inches before grazing again, they advise.

In their place, industry is relying more and mere, on the employee's sense of honor and pride in his job. In reporting the ousting of the old-fashioned time cloak, Chemical Week; a McGraw-Hill publication, notes that most firms began giving up' this tra.' dition some time ago when they dropped cloCk-ptinching for all salaried employees exempt from: the wage-hour law (employees who don't have to be paid for overtime Work). And more re- , cently, nonexempt salaried ern- ployeeS in many firms can now ignore the time clock. For the most part, however, the production man the' work= er whO is paid an hourly wage rate is still a clock puncher. .'Why. drop clock-punching?
