But when published works by Soviet-physia cista indicated that there was no longer any secret to hold back, the question of declassification of the existence of an operating aa- semblyarose. aa'a j It tool) many Months to cOrnti plete the process of declassifica- tion leading to, this week's joint announcements of progress to, ward the harnessing of fUsion. It is contended in Washington that the delay was in no way due to jealousy and British physicists staunchly support this contention in all their public statements.. However, the effect of the delay is to prevent Britain from getting any credit for the firsts it has achieved, It was first in perfecting the machinery — and the. United States equivalent was copied from it. It was first in reaching a measured half sun temperature, but the Washington announce- ment claims a slightly higher temperature which, however, is only "estimated," The only British first which emerges clearly front comparison of the two announcements is in Britain's ability to keep the pro- cess stable, The United States record is stated to be a "few millionths of a second." The British have maintained that theirs is "five- thousandths of a second." But what layman is going to be im- pressed by the difference be- tween thousandths and millionths of seconds? Had. Washington wanted to be really generous toward its ally, it would have allowed the British to announce their achievement first and• then quietly announced that it had successfully copied ZETA and was in the process of building a larger-than-ZETA as- sembly. Such a method of hand- ling would have produced a warm glow of pride a "country which has had a 'long series of bitter and tragic disappointments during the past decade. Instead, the appearance is pro- duced of a jealous attempt to belittle 'those successes` Britaiii has had. How many people know .. that. • Britain pioneered radar, nuclear weaporis, the jet engine, and the harnessing of thermonuclear energy? The tidal wave of distrust of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles which has swept Europe — particularly Britain = is a manifeatation 'of something far deeper and more fundamental than any reasoned analysis of actual Dulles policies. Eighty-three per cent of Brit- ish voters in a Daily Express poll favored a summit confer- ence with the U.S.S.R., not real- ly because Mr. Dulles is against• it—their own Foreign Office is just' as much against it—but be- cause of a widespread feeling that Washington is unfair in its attitude to its ally. Washington has scored enough first of its own to be able to afford the generosity of granting credit_ to an ally that achieves' some' remarkable firsts. - Such action would go a long way toward reducing the pres- ent sense of being belittled. It could dissolve the present wave of resistance to United States missile bases in Britain. It might head off the summit con- ference—even at this late hour. ..Generosity can pay big divi- dends. It doesn't really cost anything. It could be a better good-will' arribassador than any propaganda. It seems to be in short supply in Washington just now, QOM silage to sppetits„ alone with 4 pounds of mixed legtmaii 'hnd grass-hay and 2 pounds of meal d.ifly, did equally well. Both rations produced an aver- age daily gain of 8 pounds. Ap prOximatelY 80 per cent of the dry matter consumed was sup-. plied by the roughage, * The Lennoxyille Experimental Farm reported similar gains When rations of mixed legyme and grass hay, grass silage, and meal; or hay and meal were fed to beef calves, They also found that grass silage and, meal pro, duced a slightly higher gain, indicating that good quality. grass silage can be the sole roughage when fed with a small amount of meal. The gains made by the calves in these various, tests, were very satisfactory for growth and de- velopment and, in all cases, were obtained by making, max- mum use of roughage and mini- mum use of grain, Old Jalopies Show A Profit Owners of ancient cars that are always going wrong Some- ,.,tines feel the urge to grab a sledgehammer and end the old jalepy's agony for good, Bearing this in mind, the own- er of a motor ear junk yard in Allegan, Michigan, towed two old tai's to the county fair re- cently and rented out a sledge- hammer at 25 cents for two 'cracks at the crocks. He made over 500 dollars the first day. In Orleans a Frenchman, Clement Delugrue, bought a new car which he found, very draughty, Back it went for fixing, but it was returned to him as draughty as ever, so Clement had a large notice printed listing all the car's faults and pasted it on the windshield, The manufacturers took him to court for "bad publicity." The lower court convicted him, but Clement appealed and the ap- peal court set aside the convic- tion. The court held that any Frenchman who does not like his new car has every right to say so to the world. 11 LESSON It.

Epheslans 2:14, Ry Ite.V Irr ZETA is a. rather remarkable piece of machinery remark, able primarily because within it half the temperature of the sun can be achieved. ZETA is also remarkable as a case example of a problem in alliance relations which is going to have to be resolved, or at least reduced substantially, if the Western alliance is going to be held together. The story behind the problem — and ZETA — goes like this; In the early postwar years nuclear theorists in the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain all — almost simultane- ously — conceived the abstract idea of insulating a circular elec- tronic spark by a magnetized blanket of gas. This makes the temperature of nuclear fusion controllable. Otherwise any container would a. be melted by the heat, which has already reached half sun tem- perature and must go to roughly 10 times the temperature in the center of the sun if the in- exhaustible supply of sea water is to become available as a fuel. But only the British succeeded almost at once in producing a physical machine which applied the theory in practice. In 1956, when nuclear exchanges between tritain and the United States were resumed, Harwell had its third thermonuclear assembly in operation and had started build- ing ZETA — the fourth and larg- est in the series. No such assem- bly existed in the United States at all. Announcement of the process was held up at the imte by mutu- al agreement because of the pos- It is refreshing to turn freest that apparent rivalries frequentlt present between denominations to consider the oneness of the members of the body of Christ, We don't think that' denomina- tionalism is necessarily bad. In. the history of the church some important phases of truth have been saved from dropping into comparative obscurity by groups of people who, ultimately form- ed a new denomination, Unfor- tunately, not always have new denominations been raised up for the preservation of truth, but to satisfy the ego of some strong individual, In our loyal- ty to the denomination of our choice (or more frequently, the denomination of our parents) we must not forget the oneness of those who are in Christ Jesus. I have been privileged to be guest speaker at union services sponsored by ministerial associ- ations during the Week of Pray- er and Holy Week. These occa- 'ions have been stimulating al refreshing. I have noted th where fellowship among the ministers is at its best, the meet- ings are most successful, The shepherds set the example for the flocks. We cannot and need not abolish clentininationalisat but we must endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in that bond of peace. We .can all learn some th'ngs from others, If we think we are more spiritual than our brethren then we ought to be more humble and eager to help. Before Billy Graham agrees to hold a campaign in any city' he insists that the invitation be extended by a high percentage of the clergy and that they are prepared to work together for its success. He knows that it this attitude is present among the clergy it will develop among the laity. Spiritual unity is more evident among missionaries. Is it be- pause they are more, spiritual? Is it because that in the pres- ence of heathendom they piaci! more emphasis in the central truths of Christianity and lase on denominational differenceat In any case, let us remember that if we are to work effec- tually in the body of Christ, we must not only honour 'the Head but we must work with the other members of the body. The body grows by love` manifest among the members. Einstein Looked Like His. Picture Like nearly everyone else, I suppose, I was more than eager to see and talk with Professor Einstein, for if ever a man truly deserved a place on anybody's list of the world's most distin- guished citizens, it was he . It may have been partly vani- ty (a desire to open a conver- sation with, "Oh, yes. As I was saying to Professor Einstein the other day—") that made me pur- sue this interview doggedly. I couldn't possibly *imagine my saying anything interesting enough to get this man to listen; and if he did listen and reply, I was just as sure I wouldn't be able to interpret his answer. We set the time to March 5, 1952, at 4 p.m. A few minutes before the hour, my wife and I drove up to the modest cottage at 112 Mercer Street in Prince ton. My wife came with me be- cause, as soon as she heard I had a definite date with Profes- sor Einstein, she laid down the law . By then, I should have been quite calm about meeting im- portant people,. but I admit that when I rang the Porfessor's door- bell my heart was pounding wildly, and thy, .throat aavas so dry and constricted I could hard- ly speak. 'My wife, an interior . alecorator, carrying a gift of - brigtly colored fabric, which she knew the Professor enjoyed,-fol- lowed close behind . . The front door led into a tiny vestibule, through which we took one short step to enter a small living room that looked as though it had been plucked from the Europe of a century or two ago. The furnishings, were scant — a table, covered with a non descript crocheted cloth that hung so law it touched the bare floor, was in the center; scat- tered here and there were two or three chairs, one of which was an old-fahsioned German rocker. An unlit fireplace on one side made the ruthlessly austere room seem almost colder, although a few good, cheerful oils hanging on one wall tried hard to create a slight impression of warmth .- We had no chance to look around, because after a moment or two the Professor . .. in bed.- room slippers, padded softly down the narrow steps leading from his second-story study to greet us. He was so fragile he seemed almost like porcelain His white, flowing hair was in wild disarray,' and he appeared so much like the mental drawing I'd made of him that I could hardly restrain myself from blurting out stupidly, 'Why, Pro- fessor, you look just like your pictures!" —From "The Aarons- burg Story," by Arthur H. Lewis. QUARRIES WORKED 2,000 YEARS HUNTING A HOME-Sniffing around for a new master at the Animal Protective League is three-year-old Sheba, purebred Great Dane. She Wants prospective owners to know that she's house-trained and gentle with children, despite her size. Sheba and 200 more dogs, cats, kittens and puppies are being cared for by the league. ' The famous marble quarries at Carrara in Italy have been worked for more than 2,000 years. ited with less than 0.2 per cent infection. In the very near fu- ture, he said, Canada, for all practical purposes should be free from bovine tuberculosis. * * * Turning to brucellosis, Dr. Wells told the dairymen that Alija disease, like many others has been prevalent in Canada for, many years. The evolution, of control, he said, has progres- sed slowly but has finally reach- ed the 'point where an eradica- tion program has been initiated similar to the one used' in the eradication of tuberculosis. "It is hoped that this program will eliminate another of the bar- riers to :sound economical pro- duction of high quality livestock and livestock products." * * Dr, Wells emphasized the fact that the use of medicinal con- trol of biological tests are not in themselves the final answer to quality milk production. Real success lies, he said, in the un- derstanding and application of sound husbandry disease control principles. These, he pointed out, cannot be bought and laid down on the farm, but rather require constant work, constant vigilance and constant determi- • nation by milk producers. a Roughage in the form of sil- age or hay can be fed with equal success to beef calves be- ing wintered for growth. W. A. Jordan of the Central Experi- mental Farm says corn silage or grass silage is equally suit- able and the choice between these roughage, should be gov- erned largely by which one the farmer can produce best and most economically in his" farm- ing program. • * * At the Central Experimental Farm fall-weaned calves which received. either grass silage or Two avenues of stored-grain insect control are open to farm- ers and their choice should be influenced to a large extent by the condition of the grain. F. L. Watters, Head of the Stored Products Insect Laboratory, says fumigants will control stored-grain pests provided the grain has not become spoiled .to the point where gas cannot pen- etrate effectively. If grain, through heating and the accum- ulation of moisture, is in excep- tionally bad condition, the grain should be moved to a new loca- tion to stop further damage. Most- "of the insects can be re- moved if the grain is cleaned during transfer, If the transfer method of con- trol is used, -crusts of 'surface grain. that have heated and spoiled, should be taken out and destroyed at the beginning of the operation. The remainder of the grain should then be cleaned and moved toa a clean weatherproof granary. If no granary is available the grain should be loaded into temporary outside storage bins. A snow fence lined with paper is an inexpensive type of storage. During the winter, small bulks of grain stored in the open, cool rapidly to temperatures at which most insects die or become in- active. * * * When fumigants are used for insect control in cool grain, dos- age rates must be increased be- cause they are less effective when grain temperatures drop below about 50 degrees F. Mr. Watters says 'fumigants should be applied Only to grain stored in soundly constructed buildings, otherwise the poisonous gas will escape before .'it penetrates the grain.

CAREFUL BUYER Ending A Cruelty "I want to buy a television set On the instalment plan," said a customer in a radio shop. "Certainly," replied the dealer. "Can you give us a reference?" "Well," he replied, "the last dealer will tell you there wasn't a scratch on the set when he took it back," The cruelty of shackling, hoist- ing, sticking and bleeding of fully conscious animals is con- trary to the moral code of our country. While;- slaughterhOuses have been improved architectu- • rally, handling methods have been modernized and meat in- spection services have been streamlined, the method of the "kill" has remained virtually primitive in America. The new humane slaughter bill passed by the 'House and sent to the United States Senate should, however, mark the beginning of the end 'of barbaric slaughter- house practices .This bill, which is long overdue, provides that after 1959 the Government, will purchase meat only from packers who use humane methods in all of their plants. The bill states as national polity that livestock must first be rendered insensible to pain before being killed. Introduced by Congressman W. R. Poage of 'Texas, who has studied the problems of humane slaughter at first hand, the legis- lation is "probably not as strong 'as most humane societies would desire. But its =Aeration acts as a sensible reason for approval, and indeed may prove to be more effective in the long run. It provides an incentive for hu- mane slaughter .rather than a compulsory law, which sonie slatighterhotises might try to evade. Over 75 percent of the animals slaughtered iii the United States are killed by pack- ets with goVerriarietit contracts. It is riot likely that, any firm would want to lose this business.

A stirrup or power- operated puMp may be used for this purpose, he says, the object being to apply it as quickly as possible. The fumigant should be applied by two men equipped- with gas masks.
