LONDON — (NEA) If Prime Minister Harold Macmillan looks unhappy these days it is not he- 'cause of unemployment, Infla- tion, or next year's election pros- pects, Britain has never been more prosperous, nor MacMillan more popular. No, what gives the prime min- ister that harassed look is the League of Empire Loyalists, a Small band of "Empire First" cranks dedicated to making Mac- millan miserable, The marvel is that Macmillan takes the persecution as calmly as he does, For example, the prime min- ister was entertaining Dag Ham- rnarskjold at a banquet not long ago, when a bearded loyalist sprang from underneath the ta- ble and begat. shouting, "Down with the United Nations!" The :startled U,N, secretary general nearly choked, but Macmillan went right on eating his soup. A few weeks later Empire Loyalists invaded a garden party where IVIacmillan was speaking to Tory ladies. "Macmillan is ambassador of the dollar area," k ;his tormentors shouted.

Luke 18; 27, Jesus' conversation with the rich young ruler well illustrates the differenee between morality and discipleship.. Having kept the law from his youth was pot enough, either in the sight of God or of the young man him- self. He realized that something else was involved in inheriting eternal life. We must make a complete surrender of ourselves to God, 'God never asks any- thing less of us than our all, Frances Ridley Havergal ex- pressed it well in the words; "Take my love, my Lord I pour At Thy feet its treasure store; Take myself and I will be Ever, 'only, all for Thee" C, H, Zahniser, writing 111 Arnold's Commentary, tells of what discipleship cost C. I. Studd, He gave away his fer- tune and became a missionary to China, India, and Africa. A let- ter, written to Mr. Booth of the Salvation Army, containing his last fourteen hundred poundi, had this note accompanying it, "Henceforth our bank is in heaven, You see, we are rather afraid, notwithstanding the great earthly safety of Messrs. Coutts and Co„ and the Bank of. Eng- Land, we are, I say, rather afraid that they may both break on the judgment day. And this step has not been taken, without def- inite reference to God's Word, and the command of the Lord Jesus, who said, 'Sell that ye have and give alms, Make for yourselves purses which wax not old.' " At the close of the letter he wrote, "Please also to enter the subscription as coming from 'Go and do thou likewise.' " We are not all called to turn over all our money hut, this is certain, it must be completely dedicated toa Christ's cause, for nothing that we are or have can be withheld. When the British, government sought to reward General Charles Gordon for his brilliant services in China, he declined all moneY 'and 'titles but finally ac- cepted a, gold medal inscribed with the record of his 33 en- gagements. After his death it was found that he had sent it' to. 'Manchester during a severe stringency to be melted down and used to buy bread for the poor. Under the date of its send- ing, this words were found in his diary. "The last and only, thing I had in this world that I valued I• have given over to the Lord' Jesus Christ." The rich young ruler of the lesson kept all and lost his soul. - League, founded in 1955, 'has Fascist leanings, Its secretary, A. lc Chesterton, for example, is an ex-follower of Sir Oswald Mosley, the .Britisb Fascist, hut he has managed to window-dress his national council with such respectable ancients as the Earl of Buchan, 78, :and Field Mar,. shat Lord iconsid.e, 86. But if the League has bor- rowed ,some of its ideology from Hitler's brown shirts, its antics • are typically British in their wackiness, Take the Buganin-Kbrush.chev visit to England in 1956, • The League, as well as Sir Anthony Eden, was on hand to greet the. Soviet leaders when they ar- rived at Victoria Station; and as Sir Anthony stretched out his hand, a loyalist vpice boomed over a microphone,"Eden is shaking hands with murder.° Eden looked as though he had been. stung by a Moray eel,. The League's greatest triumph to date, however, was the hoax it pulled on the Archbishop 'of. Canterbury at the Lambeth Con, ference in July. None of the 351 Anglican pre- lates assembled from all parts of the World as .guests of the Arch- bishop found anything unusual Who Says They're The Weaker Sex? the superior, egg-laying ability of range-reared over confine- ment-reared pullets were con- ducted at the Experimental Farm • Brandon.

ISSUE 2 1959 , Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking about the two bearded "bishops." One wore, a high hat with a full-length, black , cassock and imitation gold chain and cross, while the other wore a round- brimmed parson's hat. Both were Empire Loyalists in the .atrical costumes. At the appropriate moment, they commanded silence. Then the, horrified assembly heard their plea, "The Empire Loyal- ists ask you to protest against the invitation to the 'arch-ter- rorist Makarios to visit this country's The London, Daily Mirror has a suggestion`for dealing with the loyalists. "In the old ,days rural England' had a fine remedy for such boors," the Daily Mirror says editorially. "They were taken gently and firmly to the duck pond and thrown in." But newsmen opine that with- out the League British politics would be a lot duller. CHRISTMAS CROP — Carefully stored by a worker in a factory In, Vienna, Austria, are these Christmas tree .balls readj, for o painting. When a masked man entered the bakery, the 23-year-old girl assistant gave a cry of apparent terror, But flinging.up her arms she grasped an open bag of flour that lay on the shelf above her head and showered the contents into the gangster's face Then, before he could recover, she thrust the sack over his head and, jerking her knee into his stomach, twisted the mouth of the sack tightly around his neck, Hearing her pries, the manager of the shop, in Essen, Germany, rushed in. But, by now, she hardly needed his help, The would-be raider was reduced to a state of shocked helplessness. From tie to time, greatly to the surprise and discomfiture of thugs, peeping Toms, bag- snatchers and other scoundrels "who prey on the supposedly weaker sex, their cowardly as- saults meet with determined op- position. In some cases the re- actions are so swift, spirited and resourceful that the tables are turned completely. A husky, six-foot gunman imagined that he had an easy catch when he decided to raid a Chicago grocery' store kept by two elderly sisters, Miss Ar- menta Vest, aged 65, and her 62-year-old sister, Mrs. Eliza- beth Heber. "Stick 'em up!" he ordered harshly as he confronted Miss Vest across the counter. But, far from being' cowed, Miss, Vest reacted with lightning speed. She snatched at the gur. in his hand and, although 'he instinctively pulled the trigger, she managed to wrench it from his grasp. The shot . roused her sister. She dashed from the store room, sized up the situation in a second and tore the handkerchief from the gunman's face. Then the two iisters sat on 'the man. .Each of the women was nearly six feet tall and' in remarkably good physical• condition. They wrested with the 150- pound raider, and through sheer tenacity a n d determination, threw him to the floor. Seconds later, he was gasping for mercy. In leSs serious crimes, too, the resourcefulness of girls and women of all ages is sometimes remarkable. A peeping Toni who, for several weeks, pester- ed nurses at a South of England, hostel got a thoroughly well- deserved shock when he tried to peer into one of the dornii- tories one night. The sash win- dow was raised and there wa,s not a sound from within, so the man thrust his head over the sill. It was a fatal move;' the nurses were expecting him. Down came the window and the peeping Toni was trapped, A strong young nurse, wielding a cricket b a t two - handed, brought it down smartly on his head. The nurses released the man from the window and found out that he was unconscious. He was indeed caught and out! When the police arrived, they found the nurses working hard -to• bring him round. * * Pointing up the giant strides that have been' made to date is the fact that this year, out of 93,709 samples tested, only 0.18 per cent were Disc 4 and 1.93 per cent Disc 3.

During the first ten months this year, about 98 per cent of all cheese graded fulfilled the requirements of Canada First Grade from the standpoint of extraneous matter. This achievement followS on the heels of a 1957 amendment to the Canada Dairy Products Act, under which extraneous matter analysis of cheese be- came a factor in determining grade. • • • Canada was the 'first country to undertake this analytical work. A sample of cheese is taken from each vat graded and for- warded to a central laboratory at • Ottawa 'where analysis. of the samPles is carried out. Samples' are referred to as having Disc` 1,- Rise 2, 3, or 4. The first" two 'discs qualify the cheese for inclusion in Canada First Grade, Disc Canada, Second Grade, and Disc 4 Can-, ada, Third Grade, or below — depending on the nature of, the sediment. • S * Tests were started on an edu-: cational basis as the upshot of a wartime incident in which two• carloads ,of cheese were turned back from their United States destination. • • • At first; results of the analysie were. relayed ,to the milk pro- ducer and cheese manufacturer for their information only. In .1954, ,though, the Federal Gov- ernment ruled that every vat must be tested for extraneous matter, and that a premium would not be paid unless they (Premiums have been paid were Discs 1 or 2. on top quality Canadian cheese since 1939,) The latest amendment estab- lishes a direct link between grading and extraneous matter analysis. • • • In 1953, when the program over half of the 85,909 samples submitted were Discs 3 and' 4. Two years later, the figure had been whittled down to 37 .per cent.
