She gave him a swift, happy smile, but then she sobered quickly and asked in a .ohilly tone, "Do you think you should have taken time away from that locket to come way out here for lunch?"

Ease of pruning, spraying and picking and the small space oc- cupied are advantages claimed for dwarf trees. Cultural costs, of course, will be increased as three to four times more dwarfs than standard trees must be planted per acre, and dwarfs must be supported by staking or on a wire trellis with the added expense of summer pruning and tying. Mulching is also necessary In colder climates except where heavy snow covers are regular. * * *, Dwarfs and semi-dwarfs begin bearing much sooner than stand- ard-size trees. At Smithfield the total production in bushels per acre for the four years since pl an tin g are: trellis-trained dwarfs 77, staked dwarfs 441 semi-.dwarfs 18, and standard trees 7. These yields were ob- tained from the following num- ber of trees per acre: trellis- trained dwarfs 363; staked dwarfs 218; 'terril-dwarfl 87; and stand- ard trees 38. The added costs of establishing and maintaining a dwarf-tree orchard offset seine of the advantages of early bear- ing and yield. Treasures Found Under The Sea The museums of the world are filled with rare and historic dis- coveries from which the history of where, when, and how lost civilizations lived has been re- constructed. It is one thing to locate and excavate the lost treasures on dry land another to find and bring them to the surface from under the sea. Until inventions and improvements in diving methods were perfected the treasures from the 'sea bottom were seldom salvaged. Only oc- casionally did a fishing trawler or a sponge diver accidentally raise the relics by which an an- cient ship or sunken city could be identified. In recent years such finds are becoming more and more frequented by the use of free diving techniques, A skin &Ver by passing through the waters of the Blue Grotto on the Isle of Capri dis- covers the grotto where the Em- peror Tiberius and his court bathed.

Bolivian archaeologists and museums can examine stone implements and objects raised from the ruins ninety-five feet below the surface of the sacred lake.

He points out that once the avian tb, germ becomes estab- lished it is very difficult to elim- inate, If the poultry house is old or in poor repair it should be burned. The poultry range should be changed each year, the used ranges being put into crops only-not used for livestock. Di- rect sunlight on the old range combined with deep plowing- under of all ,litter and droppings is necessary if infection is not to be spread by wild birds visiting `the site.

Anderson. of the Canada Department of Agriculture. For instance: Leave the stems on pumpkin, squash and vege- table marrow and store at 60°F. for ten days before final storage in a dry place at 40 to 50°F. Root vegetables should be stored at 36 to 38°F, in dry sand if the storage is damp, and in slightly dampened sand if the storage is dry. * * * Dry onions thoroughly at high temperatures and keep them in shallow boxes in' a dry atmo- sphere at 33 to 40°F. Store potatoes in slatted bins at 38 to 40°F. and do not expose them to light. Store a few cabbages by sus- pending them by the roots; for larger quantities use slatted shelves and remove the roots and outer leaves. * * All vegetables intended for use from storage should first be sound, dry and mature and if some do not keep well despite all precautions, the fault May be with the variety, Apple trees oil a dwarfing 'rootstock may yield more fruit per acre than larger trees but May not be fully whiter-haecly.

"Dig for Pirate Treasure," by Robert L.Nesinith, SCII001 SON Rens, the tall, blond young veramith who had recently come frorn Norway, was staying with us until lie learned enough ..Eng- lish to get a, job in the city, and he had become a favorite in the village, "All right, then," Anna was saying, and it almost sounded as if she was trying to keep from crying, "Yea needn't come with us then, if you don't want to, Uncle Gilbert can spare Cousin Fred from the store long enough to conic out and help carry the bags home, I'm sure." "It iss not I do not vent to come," Hans answered in his careful, laborious English, He, too, sounded distressed, and he seemed to be struggling even harder than usual to express himself. "It iss - you see, Anna, Miss Nellie Sakrison vant me to do a yob of silwer vork-- make for her a siewer locket. Mr. Sor- ensen let me vork in a corner of his shop, I need yob, you know-" "I'd be the last One in the world to ask you to give up a job," said Anna tartly. "I only thought you might like to come out in time for a picnic lunch and help carry the bags home. But of course if Nellie Sakri- son's locket is so Important, I wouldn't want you to stop work on it for a minute, just to help me." "Haas shifted his weight from one foot to the other and said uncomfortably, "I-veil, maybe I could get away for a little if da vork goes good. I could see." "Don't bother" Anna said, and sailed by him with her chin in the air, very busy setting the breakfast table, It seemed to me something had to be done, and I ran down into the store where Papa was getting things ready for the day. He often knew how to set things right, but when I reported the dis tr e ssing conversation he chuckled said, "The girls all seem to like Hans. Of course he's someone new in town, good- looking and pleasant, But I'm inclined to .think he likes Anna best." This was comforting but not Very hopeful, and I hurried back upstairs to find Mamma. She was in the kitchen with Anna, but neither of them no- ticed me. Hans had disappeared and Anna's eyes were very bright. "And I'd made all those deviled eggs, the special kind he likes, with mustard and pot- ted ham;" she was saying, and, now she gave a sob and put her head down on Mamma's dhoul. der. "Oh, Aunt Tillie, I wish I had enough money to give Hans a job making me a silver locket - or anything. Nellie has - well, just everything" Mamma only patted her and said cheerfully, "Don't you wor- ry, Anna. It will be all right, I know." But there was a thought- ful look 'in her eyes. "Hans likes the way you make everybody laugh," I burst in, for I couldn't bear to see our lively Anna so cast down. "And I know he likes brown eyes and curly hair like yours. I heard him say so." But Anna didn't smile. She just, wiped her eyes and went on with her table setting. And now she was hurrying us past the thick clumps of bushes near the blacksmith shop and on out to the woods. Once there, she kept us working with such energy that our bags were filled long before the usual time. "Isn't it time to eat pretty soon?" called one of the boys. "I'm starving-" "Ja, I t'ink so. I also starwe," came an unexpected, booming Nutting Party Turned Out Fine Going nutting was one of.our eaverite fall events. There were plenty of hazelnut bushes clus- tered along the roadsides and en the woods, .and filling our bags Would have been easily possible, But our northern Wisconsin woods were brilliant with scar- let maple, yellow birdie deep purple and brown oaks, There Were the fall flowers too - late purple gentian and goldenrod and yellow fall daisies. We of the primary room cease. es knew our teacher would like some of those branches and flowers to decorate the school- room, and, we were soon racing off over the hills and down the woodland paths to gather flow- ers and leaves leaving the more tedious work of gathering nuts to Cousin Anna and Sister Ethel and other more responsible mem- bers of the party. But there was one fall day when Cousin Anna said firmly, "Now, Alta, if . you're going nutting with us, you're going nutting, None of this running all over the place. If you don't stick to your jab, you don't get any lunch." This was so entirely unexpect- ed that I could hardly believe I had heard right. Lively, dark- eyed Cousin Anna, who lived with us and helped Mamma, was usually so full of fun, so ready with ideas for good times, that this speech didn't sound like her at all. It didn't sound as if the nutting picnic was going to be very much fun. One of the best clumps of bushes was on the little hill above the blacksmith shop, and this was usually our first stop. I always took time for a word or two with the blacksmith, who was a great friend of mine. But today when I started toward the open door of the shop, Cousin Anna called sharply, "Alta! Don't bother Mr, Sorensen. Come right along with us now." I was a little puzzled. Mr. Sorensen never seethed to find the village children a bother, He seemed rather to enjoy hay- !rig us stand by as he pared the horses' hooves and lifted the siz- •eling horseshoes to fit them in place. "Come on now, We're not go- In by the road. We're going the back way, up the path to Hel- geson's woods," Anna called. °Come on. Hurry now," She plainly didn't want any of the ib arty to go near the blacksmith op. "What's the matter with An- na?" whispered one of the other eousins. "She's never cress, but now just listen to her!" All of a sudden snatches of some conversation I had over- heard that morning flashed into my mind, and a light began to dawn on me. I had, stopped just outside. the kitchen door, for a heated discussion was going on, and I didn't want to go right in. Hans and Anna were talking.

Another Texan With. A Big Mouth It may be that Representative Burleson, a. Texas Democrat, really means nothing more seri. ous than to jog the elbow of those United Nations members who are in arrears on their dues, Cer- tainly the Communist bloc has declined regularly to pay its share for United Nations opera- tions, notably in the Congo. This country, Britain and Canada have too often had to pick up the whole tab and, if that Is Mr. Bur- leson's complaint, much justifi- cation can be made out for his words. One fears, however, that . Mr. Burleson went too far, He spoke of "danger signals" arising from American doubts as to the United Nations' "general regard for the principle of integrity," hinting that the United States might be unwilling to "guarantee the future of the United Nations" unless certain "goals and object- ives , , . remain inviolate." Per- haps Mr, Burleson was simply indulging in a little Texas hyper- bole but his warning had an om- inous overtone - as if he were threatening a withdrawal of this country's support unless mem- bers behave themselves. The extent of Mr. Burleson's excess may be best grasped• when measured against President Ken- nedy's own statement last month in an address to the General As- sembly. Mr. Kennedy said the United Nations is "the only true alternative to war" and that "were we to let it die - to en- feeble its vigor - to cripple its powers - we would condemn the future!" Here is a far sounder grasp of the United Nations! sig- nificance. . , The United Nations does indeed represent this gen- eration's best hope for the con- tinuation of civilization and to ignore that overriding aspect in favor of nickel-nursing com- plaints seems sadly shortsighted. By all means keep the pressure on United Nations delinquents to pay up. But lees not have loose talk about squeezing off the whole enterprise just to keep the books • straight. -BALTIMORE EVENING SUN A little boy fell out of bed in the night. The next day when asked how it happened, he said, "I guess I stayed too close to where I got in," In the Christian life it is important that we con- tinee to grow. Babies are beau. tiful but it is a tragedy when, babies do not grow. So those in the Christian life who continue as babes in Christ, feeding or, milk, rather than meat, hinder the advance of the Church. (See 1 Corinthians chapter 3 and Ile, brews 5:12). If we heed the exhortations oi the twelfth chapter of Romans we shall grow, First we present our bodies to God as a living sac- rifice, refusing to let the world squeeze us into its mould, Then in thought, word and deed we express our love to God in living holy before Him and helping to point out the way of Christ to our fellowmen. There is a great work for every Christian to do. Timothy was a growing Chris- tian. He had known the Scrip- tures from a child. He continued to give himself to them. He was a witness. A witness is one wha has first hand information and who conveys it to others, Tim- othy was Paul's closest friend and helper, And of course, Tim- othy owed much to Paul. It was Paul who brought the Gospel to Timothy's home town of Lystra. Paul was a spiritual father to Timothy. Being in prison had not low- ered Paul's esteem of the power of the Gospel. He wrote, "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind," He went on to say, "I know.whom believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which t have committed unto him against that day." Living as we are, near the brink of war, this is the Gos- pel we need. A return to the faith of our Lord Jesse Christ is the best preventative , o1 wai. But failing a widespread repent- anee, Is :individuals we can have peace in a worid. unrest, THEFARN FROM Joku_ ;•. • • I, A ••••11, DRIVE CAti,EPULLY life you save may be your own.
