Gene's melodious old guitar,
But, Melody Ranch, well-
known location for the filming of
so many ,Western pictures -
from the days of William S. Hart
and Tom Mix, up to the present
time - has 'most everything.
There are 72 separate build-
ings on the property, typifying
practically every period, of early
American history. The old West-
ern street, with its verandah-
shaded buildings, hotels, dry-
goads stores, dance halls, and
land offices, is almost as familiar
to American movie and TV au-
.diences as landmarks in New
`York, Washington, or even their
-own home towns.
In addition to the Western
:street, where in the past 30-add
years motion pietures and TV
cocpanies have shot more than
20,000,000 feet of film, Melody
Ranch contains a complete Mex-
ican village, with adobe hacien-
das, huts, and - an old Spanish
fort.
There's also a log cabin vil-
lage and an Indian reservation,
plus plenty of wild and rugged
terrain which appears to be a
hundred miles from the near-
est civilization - but is only a °
second'.' gallop from the Western
:main street.
Running smack through the
ranch is a narrow-gauge rail-
way, with a train of 1890 vintage
- part of Mr. Autry's vast col-
lection .of Western memorabilia
which may be used for props in
pictures.
Gene Autry, who by nature is
a sentimental person, has a pow-
erful attachment for. Melody
Ranch. He feels that it repre-
sents not only early Hollywood
and the movies, but actually the
early West, writes Everett M.
Smith in the Christian Science.

ist,' Ernie Hicksone, in 1915. It
was then called Placeritos Ranch,
from the canyon. about 40 miles
out in the picturesque San Fer-
nando Valley, where it is situ-
ated.
Mr, Autry later purchased it
from Monogram Sthdios, and
has since" added many 'products
of his favorite hobby - the col-
lecting of old vehicles, such as ,
six stage coaches, two railroad
engines, and several oldtime fire
engines dating back as far as
1875.
Among the buildings are sev-
eral cottages which are frequent-
ly occupied by the stars working
on pictures at the ranch- John
Wayne, Joel McCrea, and Bill
Boyd -being among recent, ten-

1 Corinthians, chapters Ma
Memory Selection: So we, bes
lug many, are one body lift

One '"of Water. Romans 12:5.
We need to distinguish be,
tween the gift of the Hely .Spirit
and the glfts of the holy Spirit,
The Holy Spirit as given to thO
one hundred and twenty be'
licvers on the day of Pentecost
(See Acts 2:38) and later to
those Gentiles assembled in thle
home of the devout Roman cen-
turion, Cornelius, was a Gil

God (8:20) as promised by Jesup
before His ascension (John let
7). He distributes a diversity of
gifts among the members of the
body of Christ according to His
own will. Let no member despise
another for God has a work for
each of His children to do, We
are all members of 'Christ's body.
Let each of us exercise the gift
which God has given us for the
building up of the body of
Christ.
The love of God shed abroad
in our hearts byothe Holy Ghost
is more important than any gif4
of wisdom, faith, healing or pro-
phecy, Paul makes this unmiss
takeably clear in chapter 13. Te

The author of Arnold's Com-
mentary suggests that there are
other gifts not enumerated here
which today are likewise impor-
tant in the contribution they
may make. One is the gift of
song. Another is the gift of"writ-
ing literature for publication
which will convict sinners and
edify the saints. The interpreta-
tion of tongues may be broaden-
ed today to include the transla-
tion of Scripture and other
spiritual literature into the lan,s
guages of men. And a very
literal and practical application
of this gift is the ability of an
interpreter to instantly trans
slate and preach With power the
messages of another, such,
those those of Billy Graham, over ll
public address system to throngs
of the people.
Let us livelthmbly before Gods
2f we will give 'ourselves to be
the temple of the 'Holy Ghost
- then he, in His own sovereign,
will endow us with suck
gifts as we can best use for the
glory ,of God and the advance-
ment of His kingdom. But Gott
is more concerned about our
love for Hint than any service
we can render.
Those who have ever felt that
farmers are slow to put into
practice new scientific ideas
should pay a visit to F. C.
Welch, the owner of Welch-Lo
Farms Limited, Wolfville, N.S.
He has a habit of adopting ev-
ery inreevation which might
conceivably increase the revenue
from his 75-acre apple orchard.
As a result, about half of his
crop will be housed this year in
what is probably the first con-
trolled-atmosphere storage to be
lined with plastic film.
* *
It's more than coincidence
that the first storage of this na-
ture should be built in the heart
of one of Canada's best-known
apple districts - the Annapolis
Valley. Each year this apple
paradise produces in the neigh-
borhood of 2,000,000 bushels.
Approximately half the crop
ends up in processing plants.
The remainder is divided fairly
evenly between the local and
.overseas markets.
*
A few years ago it looked as
though King Apple might be de-
throned in the Valley. With
overseas markets dwindling and
uncertain, production began to
exceed demand. Encouraged by
the provincial government,
many owners tore out their trees
and turned to other branches of
farming. Those who remained .in
the apple business found one of
'the answers to their marketing
problems in cold storage plants.
Refrigerated storages sprang up
all over the Valley and experi-
ments with controlled-atmos-
phere storage units got under
way. Results of those experi-
ments are' today setting a pat-
:tern for apple growers every-
where.
Mr. Welch was one grower
who didn't give up. He kept his
Pigs. Complicate
Highway Problem
There are two sides to every
injustice, and I rather like the
situation at West T,Inity, Ohio,
where a farmer named McKarns
keeps a few pigs.
Mr. 1VIcKarns, like so many
loyal American, was oletly
Minding his own business and
suddenly was informed by a bolt
from the blue that he was play-
ing left drawback on the great
team of Eminent Domain, The
Public had struck again, The
Ohio Turnpike Commission,
vested with everything it need,
ed, had decided to build a won-
derful highway Where none had
existed before, and if found that
the hitherto unpublicized 'Pro-
perty of harmer McKarns was in
the way,
Immediately one of ,the great-
est injustices in American affairs
blossomed and ripened full and
complete, and where Mr. Mc-
Karns had one farm on which
he could exercise his inherent
and inalienable rights, he now
had two farms with a road down
the middle-57 acres here and
49 acres there. Mr. 1VIcKarns
likewite found, as; millions of
Americans already had, that
there is nothing he can do about
it. Every intended safeguard has
been circumvented, and every
inalienable right has been nul-
lified,
Oh, to be sure, he can go to
court, Every schoolboy knows,
from' the books he has read, that
the courts are to protect a man
from the majority. It is in the
Constitution. Only those who
have tried to get into couet to
correct some present-day situ-
ations know how difficult and
expensive it can be to obtain
effective and timely relief.
Under modern politics, with a
'highway to be built, the interests
involved greatly outweigh the
influence of anybody named Mc-
Karns, or named anybody else,
for that matter. The contractors'
associations, the insurance writ-
ers, the trucking firms, the
union spokesmen, the cement
people, the automobile leagues,
the machinery makers, the mili-
tary- planners; the patronage
boys, and numerous other organ-
ized pressures have been hard at
work for some time pushing the
project, and. Mr. McKarns has
merely been sitting back like a
good citizen minding his own
business-paying his taxes and
looking at "Gunsmoke" and
meeting the grocer's demands,
When public use was first for-
bidden to tread ,on private pro-
perty toes, the contemporary
political situation gave us a good
yardstick to explain just what
was meant. The provision was
obviously intended to prevent
exactly what ia happening across
the land. While the wording has
been retained intact, law and
usage have gone around it. In
too many places land is being
taken for public use without
just compensation, and all over
the land are institutions designed
to defend us against such en-
croachment.
You get a registered letter in
the mail informing you that
your 'property has been con-
demned, and that's that. Before
you recover, the machinery has
moved on; the road is built; and
the traffic is terrific. Your trees
have been cut down, your mail-
box pushed back, and cement
pipes piled on your lawn. Stand-
ing timber is bulldozed into gul-
lies and buried, outcroppings of
feldspar are blasted.and used for
and if you had, a well it is
gone. And nobody, usually, has
come near you to make an offer,
see how you feel about it, or ask
forgiveness.
The fine stories about the Gov-
ernor snipping a ribbon and
opening the new throughway'
injustices per mile as private
land was taken for public use
without compensation. That
comes later, and sometimes only
if you sue. And if you don't sue,
the value and condition of your
constitutional rights will be set
by engineers employed by the
agency that has used you. Of
course, none of this can really
be done, because the constitu,
tiOn forbids it,
Now, what like about the
situation in West Unity, Onto,
the home of Mr. McKarns, is the
happy news that Mr. McKarns
is a pig farmer, Mr, McKarns
kept pigs before the road was
built, and Mr. Melcarns .eon-
tinues to ply his accustomed
trade afterward. Somehow the
Turnpike Commission neglected
to take full notice of this inter.,
eating fact, and provided for a
luncheon nook, also known as a
refreshment plaza, just where
Mr. IViclearns leaves oft And
Eminent begins.
Here sits the tired wayfarer to
rest and refresh himself, and
there stand Mr. McKarns' pork-
ers. The people seem not to bo-
ther the pigs the least little bit,
but it is reliably reported that
the pigs offend the peoplse Re-
marks have been made to this
effects particularly when the
wind sits right and Mr. Mc-
Karns has been generous. ,
You'd think that these tra-
velers, observing the situation,
would see that Mr. McKarns has
been put upon, with his two
farms where one effluviated be-
fore. They are quite naturally,
the "public" who has done the
putting. They could sit there and
discourse on how far practical
usage has transgressed the basic
intent, After all, Mr. McKarens
is also a citizen and a taxpayer,
and what has happened to him
could happen and is happening
to others.
But of course they 'don't do
that. They smell the pigs and
declare they are a nuisance,
which is the same word Mr. Mc-
Karns used for the Turnpike
Commission. But whereas it is
simple, today, to take a man's
land and confuse his rights, it is
still a little difficult to prove
that raising pigs on a farm is a
nuisance. Even lawyers, whose
compeomising of logic is notable,
would have to admit that. Mr.
McKarns has them surrounded,
and it's their own doing.
No doubt it's a losing battle.
Mr. McKarns and I are wrong,
and will soon be proved so. It is
only a momentary fact that legal
papers are one thing and 1,000
pigs, Mr. BacKarns' present esti-
mate, are another. But for a
momentary illusion of glory, I
would rather have 1,000 pigs and
Mr. McKarns on my side than
the Ohio Turnpike Commission.
Our fun will be brief, and we
are nuisances, but perhaps we
shall be remembered.-by John
Gould in The Chistian Science
Monitor.
redone, but has left the exterior
delightfully rustic in appearance.
Eventually, Mr. Autry plans
turning Melody Ranch into a
Western museum wheie all the
curios will be on display in au-
thentic settings, thereby pro-
viding sightseers with a look-see
at what the old. West really was
like.
faith in the apple business and
over the years sought various
ideas for storing his crop until
it could be sold advantageously. • *
McIntosh apples were a par-
ticular problem. Although the
most popular of all Canadian ap-
ples, .the McIntosh develops core
browning after three months in
refrigerated storage at 32 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Also, it loses
its flavor after four months:
Last year for the first time Mr.
Welch rented space in a gas
storage unit for some of his
crop. Not only was there a delay
in the onset of core flush, but :
the fruit retained its flavor for
a month or two longer. These
results were sufficient to en-
courage him to construct a simi-
lar storage at Welch-Lo Farms. * M 4'
Technical assistance for his
building project was provided
by C. A. Eaves, senior horticul-
turist at the nearby Kentville
experimental farm. It was at Mr.
Eaves' suggestion that,' plastic
film 'was used instead of metal
sheeting to line the. wallS and
ceiling of the storage.
His suggestion was based on
the results of, experiments con-
ducted last year with polyester
firm, both at the" eXperimental
farm and in the storage -of A.
R. Stirling, a prominent apple
grower from Grand Pre.
During the five-month testing
period at the eXperimental farm
a temporary gas storage' unit
made of the film proved it was
able to hold the concentration
of oxygen and carbon dioxide
required for gas storage as well
at a Metal-lined storage. When
removed, apples stored in the
film unit showed less than one
per cent of fungal rotting and
only a slight development of
core browning. The flavor was
good and the fruit reasonably
firm. *
From a grower's point of view
the, use ,of the film means a re-
duced storage cost per bushel of
apples. Not only is the plastic
film less expensive than tradi-
tional materials, it is also much
more easily and swiftly installed.
The new storage is, 96 feet
long, 24 feet wide and 12 feet
high. It has four separate rooms,
each with a capacity of 2,500
bushels. Each room is construc-
ted as, an independent unit to
permit the removal of apples
frorti any one room without dis-'
turbing the temperature or at-
mospheric centeol in the others. * *
Wall - blower refrigeraticm
equipment was installed by Mr.
Welch to •, maintain a constant
temperature of from 38 to 39
degrees t`.-- the temperature re-
commended for controlled-at-
mosphere storage. Because this
is several degrees warmer than
the temperature at which apples
ere normally stored, it was
necessary to regulate the con-
tent of oxygen and carbon di-
betide in the storage to check the
rate of ripening and eliraihate
break-down of fruit texture.
This Will be clone Welch-Lo
