The Adoration of God Psalm 24 Memory Selection: Now unto him that is able to do exceed- ing abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus through- out all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21. `To adore' is 'to regard with the utmost respect and affec- tion; to worship as a deity.' Ad- oration is the element which raises love to worship. It should be reserved for God alone. When Cornelius fell down at Peter's feet and worshiped him, Peter would not receive the worship, saying, "Stand up; I myself al- so am a man." Acts 10:24. When John fell at the feet of the angel to worship, the angel said, "See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant." Revelations 22:9. We must worship Gol al- one. Our attitude as we approach God to worship, is important. "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceit- fully. He shall receive the bless- ing from the Lord, and right- eousness from the God of his Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking cr /c/ 03.7M1 NMO fre/0 33 /ON &VII /,//7,b1N V1 3d0 7 3 INV 709 30/H b.37 /1 50/76'1 X3 3N t19 .30/7b1 lb MVO 1HIbc/ 31 V 01 50 Ibd 31V7 553008d ..f1,/t/ 7d' 11110Y70 3 b V k/ )1NV7c/ 31 1/71.:Yd 2/11 A X A 7 V 9 a, k40 'A3 IkV/19 0V,9 Now It's,Shotguns Made -Of Glass ! For the first time a shotgun has been made of glass fibre. Winchester, the American gun manufacturers, say the advan- tages are lightness - it weighs only 61/2 lb. - the glass is warmer to the touch On sa cold day and the barrel's outer layers will not corrode. The gun is built to the prin- ciple of the old-fashioned wire- wound naval guns of fifty years ago. The basis of the barrel is a steel tube only one-fifth of an inch thick. To give the steel tube resist- ance to explosive forces, • 500 miles of glass fibre are wound around it. It's claimed that the glass fibre is twice as strong as steel of the same thickness. The layers of glass are wound in different thicknesses giving the greatest strength at the breech, where there is also a thicker steel sleeve around the barrel. The steel inner tube takes the friction of the shot and provides a smooth surface. To give greater resistance to bending the barrel is then wrap- ped in glass cloth and the whole assembly is treated with a bond- ing resin to hold it together. The aluminum front sight and the attached lug are then bond- ed to the outer layer of glass cloth. WIND-POWERED BIKE The Chinese claim they have solved the problem of, riding a bicycle against the wind by at- taching a wind-driven rotary fan to the handlebars. A worker has devised a canvas fan that is at- tached to the handlebars and, linked by a chain to an addi- tional gear on the axle. "The stronger the wind bloVs, the faster the bicyCle runs," says Peking Radio. Honeycomb. Quilts Mode In Wco1es We have jui,. c,441 's bark from Wales with tsv, Wpigh wool honeycomb quilts '41101 are giving us more pleasure than any vacation purchase ever has done before, In our attic there are ex- amples of less enduringly sue- cessful souvenirs - carved wooden bears from Switzerland, brilliant lake scenes painted, on plates from Italy, a collection of miniature Toledo steel swords from Spain, woolly Koala bears from Australia. They had their day as ornaments and gave much pleasure. But the honeycomb quilts look like having a permanence all their own. They are beautiful and practical.. They echo won- derful memories of climbing the Snowdonia Mountains where the sturdy Welsh sheep graze in a world of deep peace and deep green. After coming down the moun- tain we visited the cottage-in- dustry-style mill in the village of Capel Curig, where, from the wool of the mountain sheep', they weave the quilts, blankets, trav- eling rugs, and furnishing fab- rics in lovely traditional Welsh designs. Tending the loom was one cheerful, friendly, gray-haired man showing all the culture and native charm of a David Lloyd George, We asked if didn't he have a job keeping the shop around the corner supplied with the goods which were in great demand by tourists. He said it was indeed a job to keep up with the orders. But he pointed out that he had time to get, ahead in the winter months when the mists came down and the tourists were studying maps by their own home firesides. The wool shop itself was a fairyland of soft, blending col- ors. There was a raven-haired sales girl with a complexion of almost unbelievable perfection.

Friends. Snickered Pancho Lclughs Swarthy veteran film actor Leo Carrillo, 0, who often' had the last laugh as Poncho,. the Cisco .Kid's quavering bu t re- sourceful henchman, helped him- self to holfola, Back in 1938, Carrillo paid .$12,000 for 1,0.00 acres of dry ranchland near Escondido, Calif, Friends snickered, but .Carrillo nursed the land along, tracking down hidden springs and building dams to keep his livestock in water. Then came the deluge: Southern California's metrOpoli, tan water district piped. colorado River water to the area, Land values soared, and last month re- sourceful. Carrillo - without a quaver - sold his 1,000 acres (while holding onto 3,500 equal- ly prized acres that he acquired oyep the years).

In March this year, while sailing from London to Leith with a cargo of cement, the Yew- glen went aground. Her crew got safely ashore; but the coaster will never see Glasgow again. Throughout the summer the stricken ship has drawn thous- ands of sightseers to the tiny lob- ster-fishing village of Beadnell, The crowds which turned up at Whitsun and August Bank Holi- day were bigger than any in living memory. And these holi- claymaking onlookers have been able to watch a dramatic race against time and weather. For a local man, Mr. Hugh Maugham, bought the stranded vessel for $9,000. Despite the Yewglen's pre- carious position - the forward part of the ship was almost corn-' pletely submerged at high tide - and the hazard of incessant buffeting from wind and wave, Mr. Maugharn set about trying to take out the ship's diesel en- gine intact. This entailed driving a winch- equipped truck on to the treacherously sloping, seaweed- strewn rocks of Beadnell Point. Access is extremely difficult, but this didn't prevent hundreds of souvenir hunters from stripping the ship of much of its light and easily removable equipment. Working at every available opportunity, Mr. Maugham and his assistants succeeded in cut- ting away a section in the aft portion of the hull and removing the engine. A few days after- wards the ship began to break up. Mr. Maugham's $9,000 in- vestment will yield him a hand- some profit, for the engine alone is worth about $90,000. When The Swoilovvs Came-And Went! We shall close our garage doors tonight, The swallows have gone, and with their going the first whisper of winter has echoed through our East Ang- lian village. For the second year in succes- sion we have played host to these lovely birds, In. return, they have thrilled us with their agility and 'beauty. Our children have Watched the fledglings creep from their shells, mature, and fly away, The first pair arrived on April. 2, We watched as they Preened themselves on the tele- phone wires above our kitchen window, Could they be "our" swallows, back from South Africa, to claim the home they had built last summer? We open- ed the garage doors and had our answer, The birds sailed in. The real surprise, however, was to come, We had grown used to their hovering flight of courtship over our Queen Anne house, and had greeted many new arrivals, when I was awak- ened at dawn one morning by the soft fluttering of a bird in my room, Its graceful move- ments made recognition imme- diate: it was a swallow. I watch- ed, fascinated, as he flew care- fully from side to side of the room, landing for a moment on the wardrobe. Then he was gone. Before I dressed the bird had repeated this performance three times. The following morning I was .again awakened by my early visitor; but to my delight, on the third morning the bird came in followed by a second. To- gether they flew round my room, always returning to the wardrobe for their brief rests, although the second bird seemed flustered and unhappy. After a few minutes, she turned to the wrong window. This caused her to panic, and her companion -flew to her rescue and guided her gently away. They, did, not .teturn; and it was only when I found mud all over the lining of my curtains that the mystery was solved. The hen had been invited in by her mate to approve his choice of nesting site! Seine days later we found these two birds carrying pellets 'of mud into the stable, adjoining the, garage. We watched for days while the birds built their nest. Having •chosen the site, they were quite unperturbed by our curiosity. Most of their mudlaying was done during the early part of the .day. It was then left to harden before work continued in the evening. With the base of the nest rest- ing securely on an oak beam, they gradually built up the sides to form a cup, A lining of leathers from our 'neighbor's chicken runs completed the work, which took eight or nine days. It was not long before my in- quisitive daughters had spotted the first eggs. The nest .in the garage already housed five fledg- lings, who had appeared un- observed. The children were de- termined not ,to Miss a move in this second performance. . They counted the flights of the cock bird, as he flew to' and fro with food for his mate; they Watched the hen turn her eggs; they even brought my husband in. He reported that the cock roosted on the beam beside the nest at night. As the days passed the ex- citement grew until a whoop of triumph announced the appear- ance of the first fledgling, Born almost naked, and with his eyes dosed, he was not a beautiful 8, Detonate 50.

The onion maggot and the seed-corn maggot have recently demonstrated in Ontario fields their immunity to the aldrin and heptachlor group of insecticides which used to keep their num- bers down. * • • G. F. Manson of the Canada 'Department of AgriCulture's En- tomological Laboratory reported the new development and scien- tists' attempts to regain the up- per hand. He said the insecticides gave excellent results for about five years. Then resistant strains of the onion maggot appeared and almost immediately the heptach- lor and aldrin group became in- effective against them. Earlier investigations had shown that diazinon, thrithion, ethion and V-C 13 were also ef- fective insecticides and these are now in general use. It remains to be seen if onion maggots will de- velop resistance to them. * • The corn maggot has a differ- ent history. It developed resist- ant strains as a result of tobac- co farmers' use of insecticides since 1953 to control cutworms. Though this maggot seldom used to 'attack the crop, damage to tobacco transplants has been severe since the new insect strains appeared in tobacco fields in 1958, The cutworms for which aldrin and heptachlor were applied are still controlled but the seed-corn maggot has now become a pest of tobacco. * * * Scientists added diazinon to the water used in tobacco trans- planting operations and found that it gave promising control of the maggot in preliminary experiments this year. It was also found that strong, well- hardened transplants withstand attack much better than weak, Soft plants. * The wirewOrrn comes under the category of "plenty tough", When young wireworms can- not find any germinating seeds or underground Sterns to eat they feed on each other. 4 4 4..

LESSON THE FARM FRONT JokA sight; and until the babies were two weeks old intem:t waned. The boldest iledgliig now scrambled out of the nest onto the beam, He stood 4)gling us, looking very insecure, while his mother hovered protectively above him. She gently urged him to stretch his wings and even flap them a little, in his first efforts at night, writes Kathleen M. Brooks in the Christian SO. eme Monitor, The fledgling must have been three weeks old when the chil- dren came running to tell me that the first one had flown round the stable, The following day he was clutching the tele- phone wires with his older eous- ins from the garage. He flew round the vegetable garden with jerky, imperfect movements. 'or the rest of the summer our home has been surrounded by swallows. They soared up high into the sunshine, before dawn had reached the earth, and only gave up their search for food when darkness brought the bats from sleep, Tonight the nests are empty, but we have so many pictures to carry in our minds through the cold winter months. We shall remember the ,first thunder of the summer, when the vivid lightning revealed the parent birds riding the storm on the telephone wires. Under each wing' they gave protection and comfort to their frightened off- spring. We shall remember their grace and poise; the sudden joyous lift in their flight, as they hunted for insects; their gentleness and patience with the fledglings. And when the first warm days of spring come we shall throw open our,. garage doors in glad wel- come; and neglect our chores all over again to watch the wonder of nature unfold. .ISSUE 41 - 1960 CROSSWORD PUZZLE OLD-TIME TRACTOR - There's life still in old steam tractor which Clem Baudison displays.

I remember some remark com- ing 'my way about the need to keep one's thOUght on the job when choosing quilts to match a bedroom color . scheme, I think Lremembet trot- ting out that old familiar ex- cuse about a reporter needing to see all sides of the picture and particularly not missing any- thing where perfection was in- volved. Anyway my wife bought a most attractive skirt of ethereal greens and grays, and we agreed "on two honeycomb quilts creamy white with a small blue and red pattern in the cells, writes Peter Lyne in the Chris- tian Soience Monitor. This honeycomb design is most ingenious in the way it provides exceptional warmth and attrac- tiveness, It imitates the cells Of a beehive with the resulting air pockets producing the warmth through insulation.

Dr. Davis recommends treat- ing the seed when the wire- worms are numerous enough to affect the yield. Introduced from Europe early in the century, the willow and poplar borer is' becoming com- mon in Canada. The larvae, very small white grubs with red-brown heads, feed in the bark and tunnel into the stem. The adult insect, a small, black weevil with white or pink scales, lays its eggs from July to November in stems that are half an inch thick or more. Willow is preferred, but the in- sect also uses poplar and occa- sionally alder and birch, includ- ing the ornamental types. • • * Affected trees die or fail to grow to a useful size. Heavily attacked trees have honey- combed and distorted stems and should be removed. Less affected trees show moist boring dust in breaks in the bark and the trunk§ of these should be painted with a pene- trating insecticide. Apply the solution during winter or early spring to the stems of young trees from ground level up to where the stem is three quarters of an Inch in diameter, and also to the larger branches. * * 4, We are sure that many of the readers of this column will be interested in the following item: Tweddle Chick Hatcheries of Fergus, Ont., are now an Asso- ciate of the Cashman Leghorn Farms of • Webster, Kentucky, and will be producing the well- known HI-Cash pullet for dis- tribution in Ontario and all provinces to the Atlantic as well as Manitoba and Saskatchewan. 2o 19' 23 2 21 2 28 30 29 3 32 34 35 36 38 93 x12.• yO 41' 418 Nb MEN IN THE WHITE SUITS - Reactivated ku kiux Klansmen, adults and enitriten, stage cienloristrcition in Birmingham, Ara, Climax of the treeting was a stieeett by Alvin Horrio "grand dratiort.,' 50 '19 AlieWee eiseW ree Of thiit II •
