wouldn't be the same as having

no proper homemaker would
want a calf in a bouse. Also, her
husband would be home soon,
and the shift would be tempo-
rary.
Therupon, having decided, she
Pierced up the bushel basket by
the two handles, and carried it
across the .dooryard' to the house,
took it down cellar,
But, by one of those strange
=junctions nobody can ever ex-
plain, at the precise time my
neighbor's wife was passing from
the barn to the house, about a
dozen automobiles had driven by
and seen what she was doing.
There are hours upon hours here
when nobody goes by. The spec-
tacle was amusing, and also
puzzling. Why would an intelli-
gent, normal, hedge housewife
be lugging a bushel basket of
calf, across the dooryard into the
house? All up and down the val-
ley people were coming home
from a ride and saying, "I saw
the funniest thing. .-"
My neighbor's wife says there
was nothing funny about it.
When the husband got home he
found the cow docile again, and
willing to mother her new one.
He carried the calf back up, and
nobody saw him.
So, there is no moral, and no
particular end to the story. It
shows yob what •a person can do
when he must, and proves that
presence of mind is a fine trait.

they?
The fi'rst telephones. were
hailed as, a great inventon and
having one on the living room
wall 50 years 'ago was AS much;
a mark of (W811104211 as having
fins on your long, low, shiny ear
today,
Then telephones became com-
mon, Nearly everybody had One,
In fact, when the party flue
rang, it might. be any one of a
dozen neighbors talking.
By this tithe, the phone ceased
to be a novel ornament and was
demoted to the back hall or
the coat closet or some other in-
conspicuous place.
People' also found it more
comfortable to sit down than to
stand up when they talked, They
could talk longer. Maybe the
teen-agers were responsible -
anyway engineers designed tele-
phones that stood on desks
while the users sat on chairs,
But there was the ungainly box
for the bell. So somebody de-
signed the modern telephone
and dressed it up to match the
kitchen, the boudoir, or milady's
favorite hair rinse.
But while these improvements
were coming off the assembly
line, what do you suppose hap-
pened to the old-fashioned teles
s „phone? It became an antique!
Indeed it did. And then, having
exhausted new ideas for radio
'cabinets, the designers looked
around in museums and antique
shops and there was their in-
spiration.
So now, my dear, you can get-
the most faseinating old-fash-
ioned telephone for your living

into. it. It talki to you. Your

Memory Selection: 'This Jesus
Bath nod' raised up, whereof we
all are witnesses., Acts 3:33,
In the world there are about
775 million Christians, 350 mil
lion Muslims, 320 million Hindus,
300 million Confucianists and 150
million Buddhists, In all of these
religions there are many who are
not careful followers of their
teachings. There are some truths
in the teachings of each of these
religions. But we believe that
Christianity is by far the great-
est of them all, However, take
away the fact that its founder
rose again from the dead and
lives today and it would be as
powerless as the other religions.
Christianity claims to do more
for the individual and for society
than the others. And it does,
where it is tried. The reason -
its founder, Jesus Christ, the Son
of the living God, lives today.
Paul wrote boldly, "So, as much
as in me is, I am ready to preach
the gospel to you that are at
Rome also. For I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ: for it is
the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth; to
the Jew first, and also to the
Greek." Romans 1:15-16.
Jesus was seen at least 18
times after his resurrection; .09n
one of these occasions by 505
people. These appearances took
place over a period of 40 days.
There could be no mistake. 'He
had really died. A spear had
been plunged, into his side. Wa-
ter and blood poured forth. The
stone at the mouth of the tomb
was sealed, and a guard posted.
But- Sunday morning 'the stone
was rolled back and the soldiers
became as dead men. Jesus Christ
'came forth in the glory of the
resurrection having conquered
sin and death and hell.
The disciples who on Friday
had been so sad, on seeing Jesus;
-were fllle4 with wonder, and •fear.
Then'caree fay and courage.'
' ter his ascension and the be-
stowal of the Holy Spirit the
went' forth with boldness preach-
•ing Christ'crucified :and risen*
from the 'dead. Those who re-.
ceived their message and repent-
ed' of their sins and believed on
Jesus Christ found happiness.
Jesus Christ lives. Does He live
in your heart?

,There isn't much to this, but
once in a while it seems wise to
show the ancient virtues are well
and strong, and an incident just
reported to me indicates our
rural womanhood is equal to
anything. It concerns the wife of
my neighbor.
Her husband stayed late in the
tie-up after evening chores, and_
came into :the house, too late for
the news and too tired- for Jack
Paat, and he said, "'The red heif-
er's liacIher calf."
"Bull?" aaked his wife. casting

"Bull," he "said, which means

"Good," she said. "EirerYthing

Oldest Talisman
As the horse population slow-
ly dwindles, horseshoes are gra-
dually increasing in popularity
as luck-bringers, reports a stu-
dent, of folklore. -
"Horseshoes 'are the oldest
talismans for wooing good for-
tune that . exist "anywhere in the
world," he says. +Belief in
hoi.seshoe luck will never die,
,althoughethe, war rsearly killed
the custom of hanging horse-
shoes up for luck in some of the
invaded countries. Now it is re-
viving in most lands, including
Britain." "
Someone noticed that' a horse-
shoe' which hung, many yeartv
ago outside the doorway'• of the
Prime Minister's London home
st ;10, Downing Street had its
prongs pointing downwards. He
.and other •superstitious passers-
by declared that this boded no
good.
Three weeks later the Gov-
ernment fell and the Prime
Minister went out of office. "It
.wouldn't have ,happened if the
horseshoe had 'been hung with
the prongs pointing 'upwards, to
keep the luck in," it was point-
ed out.
Only one U.S. agrictiltural col-
lege graduate out of six (17 per
cent) goes back tq the'farm upon
completion of - his, schooling or
military, service. ThiS 'average
figure is based on: returns from
50 agricultural eelleges, co7
operating in i survey by' the'
Northern National ' Life Insur-
ance COmpanY's fimili:',edono-
mics bureau.
Partly responsible is the large,
investment snow required to set,
up a modern farm some
sgraduates get back_ into farthing
later on.-but the birreau's survey
finds 'that the biggest factor is
the wealth. of well-paying oppor-'
tunities for such- graduates, in
agriculturally - related industries
and professions. • • • *
Nearly 30 per cent ,,- over
half 'again as many as take up
farming - are, snapped up , by
industrial 'and commercial firma
at good salaries. Most of the jobs
are in lines 'closely . associated
' with' farming, such, Farm
feed and supply co-ops, agricul-
tural themical and farm Machin-
ed- companies, .food processing
and commodity brokerage firms;
as cattle buyers for packing
houses; as appraisers and consul-
tants for banks and rural lend-
s'ing institutions; as herd mana-
gers; as' buyers for retail food
chains. Many also enter regular
sales training courseswith major'
corporations.
* *
The remainder of the approxi-
mately 7,300 who graduate an-
nually in ,the 'U.S. with bachelor
degrees in some branch of agri-
cultural science are accounted ter
as follows: Into government agri-
cultural services; 17-18 per cent;
into teaching 12-13 per cent; into
graduate study for advanced or
ptofessional degrees, 18-19 per
cent; miscellaneous, 3 to 6 per
cent. '
Most of the teacher candidates
become vocational agricutttre in,
struetors in high schools, 'The
government jobs are as county.
and 4-H club agents, conserva-
tion aids, agricultural experi-
ment station work, USDA. and
state bureaus, etc.
* * *
Each year from 1400 to 1500
graduate students are given mas-
ters' degrees in some branch of
agricultural science, and around
400 earn doctors' degrees. The
advanced degree grads go mainly
into college teaching or research,
into research work in industry
and goVerrimeet, into industrial
management, Veterinary tnedi-
eine, etc.
Thus it ,is estimated that be-
tWeeh 80 and 90 Pet tent of all
agricultural college graduates

The survey finds a wide varia-
tion among the different.agricul-
tural colleges in the .proportions
of their graduates who enter:
farming; industry, education, etc.,
depending largely on 'the` loca-*
tion of the different schools and
on the curricula offered.

mately 20 per cent of the B.S.
graduates of 1957 would 'serve
a hitch in the 'armed forces be-
fore embarking on .their chosen
careers. ,
Far more than the' present an-
nual net output of approximately
7,300 graduates in agriculture
are needed, college heads say, to
keep pace with demand. Yet in
.recent years the agricultural_
colleges have not shared appre-
ciably in the general expansion
in college student registrations.
Three main factors are blamed:
The less favorable farm cost-
price relationship, severe drouths,
and the well publicized salaries
received by college graduates in
other fields, * *
Not generally realized by the
public, especially young people
of college entrance age, is the
fact that ,four-year agricultural
college grads of 1957 entered
business and professional posi-
tions at salaries close to or equal
to the averages, enjoyed" by
graduates of other four-year col-
leges, while advanced degree
agricultural science' graduates
are getting choice, berths at sal-
aries which compare favorably
with those' of the vaunted en-
gineers.
Home economics departments
at 37 of the agricultural colleges
also contributed information on
placements. By far the largest
segment of the young Women -
a third - went into teaching.
Less than half as many - 14
per cent - entered business, and
only 6 per cent entered govern-
ment positions.

worked longer than any 'other
man ever lived - Mr. S. Goven-
der,. of Lenz, near Roodeport,

His age? He's 105. He stopped
work on a farm in 1954, when he
was 101, after working, he says,
ever since he, was a small boy,
Mr. Govender is an Indian. He
attributes his wonderful longevity
to the fact that he has worked all
his life in the open.
