Does the indi- vidual have a right to know what he is eating and drinking, and of ',deciding for himself whether he wishes to dose him- self with chemicals? Are those charged with the job of policing the public's welfare in the Unit- ed States — the Food and Drug Administration — actually able to cope with the huge task which confronts them, and are the rules and objectives by which they should act perfectly clear and understood by us — the guinea pigs of the drug age? There is no questioning the motives, and marvels of many who are impelling us into this, new way of life. * * Clearly there have been many gains 'for sanitation, for hygiene, and for well-being: But where do we draw the line against compulsory drugging of the in- dividual and his food? Is there any question about the wonder feeds, by which a chicken, a pig, or a steer may be made to grow twice or three times as fast as in the slow old days, and with much less fodder? The poultry industry is one of the marvels of the decade, and chicken is one of the meats which can be grown as cheaply or more cheap- ly than a quarter of a century ago. * * * Such poultry raising is spread- ing rapidly in Western Europe. This is obviously advantageous. But Is there a' point at which the new feeds become more mon- strous than marvelous? Are we sure somebody will find out, and, tell us? British Squirrels And Their Habits Eccentric squirrels have been found living in rabbit holes, in houses and out-buildings, and even in hayricks; but the con- ventional home for a squirrel is a tree. Where they can, squir- rels will make dens inside the tree; if the tree has no hollows then they make a nest of cut twigs --- where a branch forks out from the trunk, or in the' smelled branches in the crown. The tree is not only of vital importance as a home; it also provides the staple foods. Pines, larch, and spruce supply the red squirrel; oaks, beeches, hazels and chestnuts are very necessary to the grey, and also help to stock the red's larder, Again, trees are the squirrels' highway; definite routes are used from the home centres to feeding eitee, and a squirrel in a hurry will show signs of conftision when confronted with a gap where a tree en mete has been felled Or blown down. Tree§ give shelter in times of severe Cold• or high winds; this is perhaps especially important to the red squirrel, Grey sqUittele flourish in places where oaks ate plentiful, Mid if hazels are present as well the habitat is very favourable for them. They do very well in beedhWoods, toti, but they are net restricted to these types of 01- Viitirimeht. Mixed Woodlands Often Support large populations.

Logging-Conlp Cooking fora W9Qc.15 crew in an old-time Maine logging camp called for a special kind of gem. us which h a S Mostly passed, Open - air work kept -the cus tomers from getting picky, and about the only chance for dis- tUrbance game from serving too frequent fish or venison. One of the earliest "fringe benefits," perhaps, was the guarantee by the boss that men signing up would not get trout• more than once a week, and things like that. Yet there was never any objection to molasses cookies, and every lumber camp served them every meal, every day, We do know, of course, that the old-time lumbering crews included one man known as a "meat bunter," His job was to keep deer hanging in the dingle, and he had nothing else to do. This has been illegal now for many years, and no lumber or sporting camp may serve any game on its menu, But long ago the cookee, who was the cook's chore boy, could jig trout and salmon between meals and keep fishbox full. There was, then, a tendency to over - emphasize fish and venison. However, while epicures might light up their eyes at this pros- pect, both items have an odd capacity for jading the appetite quickly. Venison, besides being a lean meat and quick to digest on you, is something y o u wouldn't want over and over, Trout and salmon are much the same. There is one old story about a lumbering crew that ran short of food, and the men had eaten so much trout their jaws, at last, refused to open for more. There was noth- ing they could do. They'd lift the delicately pinkish trout- beautifully fried to a gourmet's perfection, and not one of the men could force his mouth to open. Sagely, the cook used his last scrapings of flour to make each man a biscuit, and instead of eating this biscuit, the fellow would use it for a decoy. He'd hold the biscuit up to his lips, and when his mouth popped open to eat it, he'd pull it back and pop in a chunk of trout in- stead. They managed to oper- ate three weeks on the biscuits, and then a supply sled got through to them. When t h e spring freshets came, and the lumbering crews a/ Maine all started down- stream on the log drives, this crew, it is said, turned in the other direction and went up- stream to spawn. Old yarns like that are a dime a dozen around Maine; - where lumbering and lumber- ing stories had their beginnings. There is one about the barrel of split peas. Snowbound, a cook had to make do until a thaw, and all he had left was a barrel of split peas. He'd serve pea soup one meal, fried peas the next, then baked 'peas. Next, pea fritters, stewed peas, and pea hash. Next pea soup again, and so on. Altervvard, the crew gave the cook much the credit. Said if he hadn't varied the servings that way, the monotony Would have been unbearable. But molasses cookies were al- ways on the table, in quantity, and never did a woodsman com- plain. You can still find these old-time lumber camp molasses cookies on certain tables In Maine, and I imagine the mi- , grating timberjacks took them West with them. They are not a dainty cookie for party man- ners; they are a rough and tumble cookie, made for he-men with enormous appetites brought on by big deeds. They were also one of those things made in the top of a CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1, European mountain • , system 5. Viper 8. Tissue 12. Gather the 3, Roy crop attendants 13.

The colt, always working at frantic speed to keep ahead of the lumbering appe- tite s, mixed his liquids in a. bowl and then dumped things around, until the liquid picked up just the right, amount of flour, and he'd bring everything forth in a monumental gob and slag it clown on the board for rolling and cutting, Saved time, It might make a mess in a Mo- dern kitchen if some school- trained homemaker tried it without special instruction -- hut then, who has a barrel of flour now? The right consistency was im- portant. These cookies are soft when baked; an inch and more thick, and about three inches across. There was a baking- powder can just the right size for cutting them. They are not snappy cookies. Thin ,snappier have their place, but it wasn't in a lumber camp. A real woods cook recipe Probably never existed, and if there should be one, it would make a batch big enough to feed the Seventh Army for a month — or a woods crew for two days. Actually, the recipe is basic, and can be found in almost any cookbook. However, two of the ingredients call for comment: first, good unsulphur- ed molasses was standard, and second sour milk was the kind that had followed the natural processes of nature without as- sistance. Otherwise, try it some- thing like this: Two cups of molasses; 21/4 teaspoons of soda; a cup of shortening; maybe four teaspoons of d r y ginger; two teaspoons of salt; and two cups of sour milk. Put the soda in the molasses and whip it good. Then everye thing else, and afterward add what flour it needs, to make a soft but workable mass. Have it so it will drop off a knife, but not much more than that. Roll, cut and bake — oven ought to be about 350 degrees. Acres upon endless acres of these swamped roads, felled logs, and drove the rivers of Maine. Every lumber-camp conk could make them, not only in the great two-sided ranges, but also over o p en fires on the drives, using a kind of sheet metal portable 'oven called a baker. And while venison and trout cloyed and were objected to, molasses cookies went on and on, and squawks came where there weren't any. — By John Gould in The Christian Science Monitor. Queen Elizabeth Likes The Movies When guests of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh stay at Balmoral a cinema show is cus- tomary entertainment after din- ner. Until recently a temporary fireproof structure had 'to be erected in the middle -of the ball- room before films could be shown, but now a cinema projec- tion room has been built on to the end of the ballroom. This means that no cumber- some projection box has to be removed before dancing can take place. It also makes it pos- sible to seat more of the Queen's guesfs for a cinema show. The Queen has always had an interest in films. Only recently she and Prince Charles surprised the cast of technicians of the Rank film "Sink the Bismarck" by paying a sudden visit to watch them at work at Pinewood Studios. The first film ever seen by Queen Victoria was shown in the autumn of 1897. "The Queen likes humour and was delighted with a snowballing scene and even with a bicycle spill," said one of her Court. "But when some pictures of the Gordon High- landers were put on the screen her Majesty's gratification was something to remember." 31. Swab 32, Irreverent 34. Free 37. Walk laborionsly 39.

A' Suggested title might be "Are We Letting Our- selves Be Over Governed." • * * Behind the cranberry contro- versy there is a situation which may well be blasted into the • open by the protests of the hitherto uninformed but now awakening public as well as by the interested parties. The new chemicals and the so-called "wonder drugs," the additives and the special feeds for poultry and livestock, the sprays and poisons, are taking us into: a sit- uation ol unknown and unwil- ling medication — or, if that word is too strong, of unknown and unwilling chemical expo- sure. * * * None but a supremely well- informed chemist or drug spe- cialist can have any accurate idea ,of just what has gone into or onto. the public'i food and drink these days. Some of the new chemicals are to stimulate rapid growth — sometimes sen- sationally rapid growth, a little Jae Jack's fabulous beanstock. Some of the new chemicals are weed killers, insecticides, 'and so on. There is fluoridation, which among all the many sprays, additives, and foods of the period, has actually received ed a lot of publicity. * * * Now suddenly, Secretary Flemming in warning house- wives, grocery stores, and grow- ers against some possibly con- taminated cranberries, has per- haps unintentionally ;drawn open a curtain on a broad, uncharted area. There is bitter controversy over the wisdom and method of this action. The cranberry indus- try appears to be hard hit, al- though every political candidate now out on the stump feels im- pelled to eat or drink a large amount of cranberries, just to show that he is against the bureaucrats. * * * This odd political reaction em- phasizes the human response to Secretary Fleinming's blanket warning. It raises the question `When does vigilance become excessive?" But the question the public really needs to have ek., plored is the •total problem of sprays, additives, and feeds, Are we quite sure what the total effects of this age of drugs and chemicals will be? The problein ranges all the way from the effect of DDT and other in- secticides on the bugs that milt- ish our songbirds or pollinate our blossoms to the strontittm- 90 that may pollute out general atirlospliere and alter the gen- etic future of the huitaii race, * In short, what are We doing to'ourselves?

Spanish chestnuts are popular trees for nesting and the nuts are highly prized as food. At Bramshill in Surrey grey squii- rels live and breed in large stands of pure pine; they' turn up sometimes in plantations of Douglas fir, and in others of Japanese and European larch. Sometimes they are found living on the fringes of woodland bor- dering agricultural land, where their diet includes grain, roots and green vegetable crops... . In America the main rood- bearing trees for the grey squir- rel are oak, walnut, hickory, beech, chestnut, maple and elm: roughly in that order. Water is said to add,to the attractions of the habitat. It is usually, agreed that the ancestral home of the red squir- rels was dense secluded conifer- ous woodland. When the red be- came very abundant,at the. be- ginning of this century it could be found in most of the types of habitat now used by the grey; in fact, either species can live in a variety of conditions. The red squirrel seems to seek more sheltered nesting places than does the grey: those greys I found which were not in the favoured conifers were placed so that climbing ivy, evergreen bushes or some conforthation of the nest-tree itself provided shel- ter from prevailing winds. I have 'also •.found them in tall hedge- rows, hawthorn, hornbeam, holly, beach, hazel ,and in a hole in a 'sycaniore tree, Being more timid than the American species, our squirrel seems to thrive best in places that are secluded as well as sheltered. — From "Squirrels," by Monica Shorten.

Acts 10; 34-35. It took a special vision to pre- pare Peter to take God's Word to the Gentiles. While preaching in the home of Cornelius, a Ro- man centurion, the Holy Spirit came upon all that heard. There was no laying on of hands, The people were ready and so God was willing. Peter was con- vinced that the Gospel with all its attendant blessings was for the Gentiles just as much as for the Jews. He explained this to the apostles and brethren at Jerusalem and later before the council of apostles and elders. He said, "God which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; and put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith." Peter by his understand- ing and persuasion did much to prevent a cleavage between the Jews and Gentiles who believed on Jesus Christ. There is only one body of Christ. We, of what- ever colour, race or religious de- nomination, who are really dis- ciples of Jesus Christ, "are mem- bers of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones," Ephesians 5:30. This intimate relation with the one Saviour makes, us "mem- bers one of another."t Ephesians 4:25. How many of us are without partiality in 'some form. James warns -against it, saying, "Have not the faith of our Lord Jesui Christ, the Lord• of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly ap- parel, and there comes in also a poor man- 'raiment; and ye have respect to liim' thit weareth the gay clothing, and PASSED-OVER PICKINGS — Wet Sall ., weather gives farmers an opportunity, ,tp,t see how well they are, picking corn.
