Memory Selection: Love Wor'1P
eth no ill to his neighbour: there.
fore love is the fulfilling of th(
law. Romans 13:10.
After our consideration of jus-
tice in the home, last week, it
is natural that we turn to jus-
tice in the community. The Chsl-
dran, of Israel were frequently
reminded that they had been
strangers in the Land of Egypt,'
They were now to be kind to
the strangers in their midst.
They must net be talebearers.
How easy it is for an unkind re-
mark to grow into an unfounded
and ugly rumour 1 Paul wrote to
the Ephesians, (4:29), "Let no
corrupt communication proceed
out of your on o u t h, but that
which is good to the use of edi-
fying, that it may minister grace
unto the hearers." If we can't
say something that will help
people it is better to keep quiet.
We must not bear a grudge
against our neighbour. In the
book of Leviticus you will find
the command, "Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself." Many
centuries later Jesus Christ call-
ed this second to the Great Com-
mandment.
We do not have the racial
problem in Canada that exists
in some areas of southern 'USA..
it is true that immigrants from
central European countries tend
to live in areas where others
from their own country reside.
But they are not compelled to
do this. It is a matter of choice.
However, we need to watch that
justice is meted out fairly to all
in every regard,
• James wrote, "Ye have des-
pised the poor." Are we guilty
of this? Officially, No. We are
very kind to the poor. Lawyers
will give their service freely.
Welfare agencies are ready to
help the needy. Scholarships are
available for worthy students.
Canada is really a wonderful
country.
Jesus said, "The poor always
ye have with you." John 12:8.
He also said, "Unto everyone
that hath shall be given." Mat-
thew-• 25:29. There will always
be a tension between the rich
and the poor. We must guard
against respect to the rich in th°
Minis of law and everywhere.
We must help the poor to help
themselves. We want justice for
all. Let no individual despise the

Small. Mice Caus6
Big Trouble
Exasperated farmers and
butchers waited outs:de while a
public health inspector stripped
a weighing scale in a Yorkshii7e
slaughterhouse a few weeks ago.
Then the cause of their anger
was discovered — a mouse's
nest,
It weighed only an ounce and
a half and was uncles a balanc.
;ng beam, which regulated ate
pointer on a 500 lb dial.
But when the mouse walked
along the beam one way the ma•
chine over-weighed. And when
she returned, it under-weighed.
This caused disagreements
about weights between the far-
mers a n d butchers and the
slaughterhouse staff. The inspe.::-
tor revealed that the mouse was
enough to throw the machine
out by as much as 12 pounds.
You never know with mice.
They constantly cause unexpect-
ed trouble. Only recently a
mouse caused a car to crash into
a telegraph pole at Jauiny,
France. It climbed out suddenly
from the glove compartment on
to the driver's arm, then .dived
into his sleeve, causing him to
scream and completely lose con-
trol of the car.
A mouse which chewed
through a wire at a power sta-
tion caused a short circuit and
blacked out 6,500 buildings at
Painesville, Ohio. Another mis-
• chievous mouse gnawed its
way through electricity cables at
Bilsborough, near York, causing
s cafe to catch fire, The mouse
was found with singed whis-
kers on the fire engine when it
returned to the station and was,
set free.
In Scotland, a mouse once got
between two 6,000-volt cables
making them short circuit and
disorganizing t h e lighting, and
power electricity supply. Out
went lights' everywhere, machin-
ery came to a standstill, business
men and women shoppers who
were in elevators had to' remain
suspended in mid-air.
Celluloid Poison
J. Edgar Hoover, from his fund
of experience as director of the
Feedral Bureau of Investigation,
denounced the screen and tele-
vision crime programs for "cellu-,
laid poison" that glorifies crime
and criminals, He cited the case
of two brothers, 10 and 12, who
recently terrorized an Oklahoma
town, where one man was killed
and another wounded. The boys
said they got their idea from
watching television and movie
crime stories.
Perhaps the most insidious
thing about such purtrayals is
the fact that'life is held so cheap-
ly, Even in the stories that show
criminals in their true light —
wretched, unglamorous leeches
who bring nothing but degrada-
tion to themselves and human
suffering to their fellow men—
the quick draw and trigger hap-
py massacre give young minds
a perverted, idea of the value
of human life. sEven ,when they
emphasize that 'crime does not
pay, they still furnish weak, un-
formed adolescents with .false
values that lead them to ramPant
delinquency.

math is more "violent" --to
enforce celibacy among hens or

tilized by roosters arid thus have
within them a seed of life?
To the devout, millions of
vegetaflans in India who Still
abide by the doctrine of ahlmaa,
or nonviolence, of the late Ma-
handas Gandhi, this question ap-
pears to be even more impels-
tent than the country's economic
woes.
On one side of the argument
stands India's Deputy Minister
of Agriculture V. Kishnappa,
who has urged vegetarians to
eat unfertilized, or "vegetarian"
eggs to improve their diet. His
Point: Since such eggs are life-
less, no violence is involved in
eating them,
But just as the government
campaign was beginning to take
hold, a pro-hen spokesman be-
gilt to make herself heard. She
is Madeleine Slade, the now 62-
ssyear-old daughter of an English
admiral who changed her name
to Mlrabai and , was one of
Gandhi's closet and most
widely known disciples. From
Kashmir where she now keeps
chickens and where she lives
under vows of poverty and celi-
bacy, Mirabai wrote The Hindus-
tan Times that the government's
case was an "absurd absurdity."
"Anyone," she argued, "who
has contemplated chickens close-
ly, as I have, knows that a good
cock is a model of gallantry and
affection toward the ladies." It
followed then that the violence
—"in the name of nonviolence"
—Vas done in depriving hens of
"the society and protection of
their natural lord and master,
who they instinctively follow
and cluster around."
Miss Slade's contention: Vege-
tarians must give up eggs. The
government's answer: "Absurd!"

Small and off-grade potatoes
upsuitable for domestic use can
be disposed of profitably through
livestock feeding.
Dr F. Whiting of the Leth-
bridge Experimental farm re-
ports that experimental evidence
indicated that 500 lb. of potatoes
were equal to 100 lb. of grain, in
feeding value for intslking cows
and fattening lambs, when fed
with:-alfalfa-hay and grain. How-
ever, he says, for good results,
potatoes should be fed to live-
stock with care, as they do have
their limitations as a livestock
feed. *
Potatoes are about 80 per cent
water and therefore are some-
what similar to Silage. They are
lower in protein; essential min-
erals and vitamins than most of
the commonly used feeds. For
these reasons potatoes should be
fed, in conjunction with high
quality feeds such as legume hay
and cereal grains, or a protein-
mineral suppleMent should be
added to the ration. Potatoes'
should be included in the ration
gradually- as' they' are sometimes
unpalatable to stock at first.
* *
Potatoes are - usually fed raw
to cattle and sheep, but should
be cooked for pigs. Sprouts,
should be knocked off them be-
fore feeding. Sunburned, frozen,
or decayed potatoes should not
be fed to any class of stock as
they sometimes are poisonous.
Large potatoes should be sliced
or pulverized before feeding to
avoid danger of choking. *
Fattening cattle or milking
cows •should not be fed over 30
pounds, of potatoes daily, while
fattening lambs and breeding
,ewes should not be fed over 3
pounds per head daily. Pigs may
be fed up to 6 pounds per head
daily depending upon the size of
the pig. If more than these quan-
tities are fed to swine, scouring
may result. Unless a large
amount Of potatoes unsuitable
for sale are available, they will
be of more yelue AS a, feed if
approximately half of the above-
mentioned amounts are fed. Po-
tatoes should be fed to dairy
cows immediately after- milking
to avoid off-flavors in the 'milk. * *
Livestock specialist J. W. Gra-'
ham of the Canada Department
of Agriculture says Canada has
an open market for*the' 4W! main
sheep products, lamb and wool.
This country, he says, could quite
easily support a national flock of
10 million head, roughly six
times the present sheep popula-
tion of about 11/2 Million head.

Perfect Answer
A cruel and sudden crisis,
charged with feeling, confronted.
Cecil Poole, Assistant District
Attorney, one morning recently;
at its peak, Poole fashioned a
few short words into a declara-
tive sentence that for aptness
and eloquence no novelist, no
professional builder of phrases,
could far excel after long
thought and much revision.
Poole is a Negro. He lives in
Ingleside Terrace, a "white"
neighborhood. Thus shock and
resentment and bewilderment
and reret and mixtures of a doz.
other emotions must have surged
through him when his 6-year-old
daughter came running into the
house to report: "There's a cross
on our lawn, all burned." With
the news, she brought, a troubled
question: "Why is it there?"
Such a question under such
conditions needed a meticulous
answer. Poole found it. "Soma
Christian," he said, "has lost his
way."
. . . "Some Christian has lost
his way." Six short and simple
words that bespeak charity in-
stead of anger, that well and
truly explain the kind of bigotry
that fashions and plants fiery
crosses, that raise no fears and
inflict no hurts and leave no
scars on the mind of a small
child who first sees racial hatred
and asks about it.
We do not know where Poole
found his answer. We think- it
the perfect one. It invites thought
and bears frequent repetition:

way."—San Francisco Chronicle.

in quality and according to Mr.
Graham could be put to better
use under pasture. Furthermore,
he says, large acreages under
rough grazing could be improved
considerably. On such land, sheep
could readily compete with cat-
tle thus bringing the livestock
industry into better balance.

The history of livestock di-
sease in Canada provides an elo-
quent testimony to the effective-
ness of the control policies of
past governments-Bovine tuber-
culosis, once, widespread, is now
rare. Brucellosis is under con-
centrated attack and should soon
be reduced to negligible propor-
tions. Occasional outbreaks of
rabies, hog cholera and other
diseases periodically attract at-
tention because of their infre-
quency, and other ailments form-
erly common are now practically
forgotten. While this is a grati-
fying situation it has not come
about by chance. Sound control
policies have been linked wall
intensive research., Work carried
on in tile Department's Animal'
Pathology Laboratories continues
to shed new light on the nature
and cause of these diseases and
points the way to 'effective' con-
trol measures.
