Much more credence is being given today to the view that many functional illnesses result from wrong attitudes as anger and jealousy and worry, It is also apparent that deliverance from these attitudes often aide in restoration to health. This is a roundabout way of saying that sin is sometimes an impor- tant factor in some illnesses. De- liverance from sin through re- pentance and faith in Jesus Christ may pave the way to recovery from such illnesses. (glINDAYSC11001 LESSON 1.,ty Rev lfi. .Barclay Warren ft.,A„ MO.

HOPE FROM HUMBLE PLANT - A new compound has been thrown into the battle against heart disease. Oil is pressed from the seeds found in the center of a lowly, thistle-like plant called the safflower (inset). Called Saff, it is used in atherosclerosis, the heart disease that causes one death in seven in the United States. Matthew J. Lynch, a pharmacist at Abbott Laboratories in North Chicago, Ill s demonstrates how white emulsion of the• seed oil is compounded with water. 4 I 4 there .was a bang and a crash, and I looked up to see him coming down aeross the field with the tractor in wild Hight.

Dad didn't mean to stint that way, hut he. d t. oesn' drive the tractor much and something confused him. He steered the- thing adequately, and coasted to a halt in the gully, and after a bit got back into gear and came along bringing the trans plants I said, "Dad, did you know that while you were run- ning away you hollered Whoa!?" This was a hod-rod joke at one time. Dad reached back in- to his unconscious a long way, and since in his youth he had called "whoa" at many a galli- vanting horse along these an- cestral slopes, there is nothing remarkable in his doing it again to a tractor, Dad said, "I was willing to do anything, if it'd work" Sam Litchfield was the local character who, back around 1915, brought home a new au- tomobile, drove it into the barn, and hollered "Whoa!" is it went out the back end and landed in a heap on the manure pile. Ev- ery town had somebody who did that, and it was not the only hot-rod antic based on the in- terchange of eras. There was a .man up at Web- ster who bought an automobile because it was becoming the thing to do, and he set it in the barn on blocks, and did all his driving there. He'd crank it up, get in behind the wheel, let it into cruising gear, and sit there with the rear tires spinning in the air and practice driving. His with would come out and sit up with. him, and they'd take a long drive together, going nowhere but steering and shifting gears as occasion required, and ad- miring the scenery.

Although they are il- legal, the Hollywood Mufflers go down our hill and rend the quiet country air, and the mer- ry youngsters wave at mu plea- santly as they regain co; 'sal and get their hot reds in a straight line again.

That Is not the Rind of hot rockier we have going down over our hill. In all fairness to me, the truth is that in my own good time I made my automobile go just as fast as it could, too. The speed- ometer in my model. T was gear- ed to a cog on the front wheel and the minute the vehicle gained motion the needle would shoot up to 90 miles an hour and stay there until we stopped. Although this indication bore no relationship to actual affairs, it was daring back then to go 90 m.p.h. even in imagination. I have no idea how fast we really did go. The roads, then, were seldom paved, and any speed faster than a horse could lope was equivalent to jet speeds of today. There were also mechanical reasons why high speeds were, inadvisable, one of them being that the en- gine just wouldn't turn up any- way, awl others being the lubri- cating system, the tires, the windshield, and the steering as- sembly Those of us old-time hot rodders who remember how a front end would jacknife in soft sand will now shudder in uni- son at the thought_ . .

New sites for sweet clover should be as far from in- fested fields as possible bearing in mind the location of fields on neighbouring farms. * s * Very often seedling crops of sweet clover will be attacked by migrating weevils from fields that have been cut for hay. These migrations can be prevented by the application of insecticides along the edges of the fields in strips several rods wide. If leaf notching appears on newly sown clover, insecticides should be ap- plied to the plants and, the ground. A second years' growth can withstand fairly severe damage from this insect pest but seedling plants die quickly when attacked. This defoliator spends the win- ter as an adult in, trash, litter or top soil. Adults become active when the second year sweet clover begins to turn green in the spring and infest seedling plants when they appear above the ground. skin, Mineral oil wraps and emulsions control this disorder but are not considered practi- cal. Most recently the Horticul- ture Division, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, has em- ployed diphenyl amine dips on Cortland and has found this to be an excellent controller. Un- fortunately this material is not acceptable for use on foods. But it is hoped that work with this material will supply clues to the use of other materials of a more innocuous type. • ,, Crescent-shaped notches along the margins of sweet clover leaves is evidence of attack by the Sweet Clover Weevil. Seed- ling and mature clover alike are damaged by this small, dark- gray beetle and it is quite possi- ble that the young or larvae which feed on the rdotlets of the second year's growth are partial- ly responsible for the spread of root rot disease.

Scald may be roughly described as the vague brezun discolorations which occur on the surface of apples. On some varieties, like McIntosh, it is primarily associated with the stem cavity, and in others, it is associated with the lentical as with Linda or Sandow. Its oc- curence tends to lend credence to the old axion "beauty is only skin deep" and defeats much of the present principles of market- ing wherein much emphasis is placed on the beautification of the product. * Normally scald tends to be confined to the green or un- blushed surfaces of apples and may be particularly severe on non-blushing varieties, such as Greening, It may form reticulate patterns and it may even pene- trate the fruit flesh to shallow depths. Sometimes these shal- low penetrations dry up and col- lapse and in other cases remain soft and gelatinous; the latter aspect is referred to as soft scald.' low, whose life- had been spent, With horses, never did get up courage rennin to take the Cull.. traption on the road..

Then, after driving up, he decided he didn't like the idea, and realized he had momentar- ily given in to an' impulse. He gave the car to Henry Hublen who was his guide and compan- ion on fishing trips, Henry did- n't know anything about ears, either, and gingerly tried it on backroads until he got the feel of it. A youngster of fifteen, -gun- ning his plaything down my hill at 100 m.p.h,,. won't appreciate how delicately the matter of driving a car was approached by somebody like Henry. But Henry worked on it, and at last felt he had mastered the trick, and drove over to Hebron to show his new automobile to his brother, The brother kept sheep, and employed three or .four• of his flock to mow the lawn about the buildings. This meant he had ' a tight fence about the place, and at the driveway had a set of bars made of smooth spruce poles spaced closely so the sheep couldn't breech it. Henry drove up to the, bars and came to a graceful stop. He set the hands brake, put the thing in neutral, and descended to remove the bars. Each bar was taken out and carried. to- one side in turn, and then Henry got into his auto, released the handbrake, put into gear, and drove through.' Next he stopped again, set the handbrake, put it in neutral and descended once more to put . the bars back. Each bar was carefully inserted as before. Now Henry got into his car again and, intending to drive majestically up and stop by the kitchen door, he somehow got the machine in reverse and backed' through the bars.

BiG BONE-The sight of a bone five feet long and weighing more than 300 pounds was overwhelming for this dachshund who braved prohibitive regulations at the National Museum of Canada at Ottawa to inspect the monster delicacy. The bone is much older than those dogs usually encounter-some 135 million years ago it was a leg-bone of an 80-foot long, dinosaur. The huge bane is one of the relics of the past assembled in a special palaeontological exhibit for summer' • visitors to the National Museum. Nearly all the fossils on display were unearthed by the fossil-hunting scientists of the National Museum who each summer add to 'the knowledge of Canada's prehistoric past. Photo by Capital Press Service, Ottawa 5 5 5 Scald generally appears after long storage, although it may occur as early as six weeks. Its presence is emphasized by re- moval to higher temperature at the end of storage and in some varieties low temperature itself may be a serious factor as with the variety Jonathan. In other varieties high storage tempera- tures leading to a rapid decline of fruit quality may produce scald. In Cortland, scald is as- sociated with early picking; many varieties have increased susceptibility under high nitro- gen fertilized programs, among which Wagener would be an ex- ample. Wilderness City Gets New Look Clearing house for the world's notables, Canada's gateway Is being transformed into the na- tion's "showcase" , states feature writer J. S. Belliveau in an arti- cle appearing in a recent issue of The Star Weekly. Gander is one of the few places in the new world you might properly call "fabulous;" it is not only a trans-Atlantic stop- ping place but a wilderness city, It is a new and growing com- munity with Overtones of subur- bia marking the town that has risen suddenly, surprisingly, and is not yet complete. It is the only place on this continent, one of the few in the world, that is entirely an airport town. Ninety per 'cent of world travellers who stop at Gander know it as the only part of Canada they have seen, for they move mainly between Europe and the United States. Since this is so, many Canadians believe Gander should be the showplace, and the showcase of Canada. In the past this has not been so, but'. the department of transport is moving. to correct the defi- ciency. A $2,000,000 air terminal is now in prOcess of construction, When it is completed the sprawl- ing mess, of temporary sheds, covered corridors and wooden waiting-rooms and offices will disappear. The new co-ordinated structure is going up on the side of the airport opposite the pre- sent array that looks like a war- time air force camp - which is precisely what it was, The Star Weekly article des- cribes the kaleidoscope of per- sonalities and planes that pass through this airway junction and describes hew Gander's "new look" will. make it an airport Worthy of welcoming the world to Canada. 6, VVorlc 20.
