THUM 1' ON When someone uses a. name of God as a swear word, we say that he is taking God's name in vain. It is a fearful thing to speak dis, respectfully of Almighty • God. With many it becomes such a habit that they do it without thinking, They don't really mean, what they say, But the third eors-,. manciment is clear' and the warn- ing given should be heeded. "Thou shalt not take the name Of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord Will not hold him guilt-. less that taketh his name in The commandment has a wider application than what is usually understood. It prohibits perjury. Yet in our Senate and House of Commons, many divorces were granted when the members knew full well that the evidence re- corded to prove one party guilty 'of adultery, was staged. The commandment condemns all tapes of careless worship, God hates hypocrisy. However, I do not take the position of a few extremists, that a sinner should not -shy., such hymns as, "My Jesus I love Thee," and "Lord, I am Thine," While I was yet without Christ, the singing of such hymns as these helped to awaken in my heart a desire to know the Christ of whom I was singing. How much better for a sinner to be' singing of great Gospel truth than silly trashy songs. Some slang expressions are really minced oaths. For in- stance, "Gee Whiz' is only a slight deviation from Jesus Christ. "My God" is simply the broad English 'pronunciation of "My God." Jesus insisted .(Mat- thew..5:37) that one's responses should be "yes" and "no". Any • more than this, He said, "Cometh of evil." "My Goodness" is mak- ing use of God's character and - attributes, • God is holy and He calls us to be holy, Let us royere His Name. --- ACCOUNTANT - One whO tells people what they know al- ready in figures which they cannot understand.. were mostly occupied with th.

The bear suddenly tore "a packet in which my wife kept small test tubes of alcohol and ether for collecting insects." He "pulled off the corks and devour- ed both corks. and contents," all the time "growing ferociously." Why this ungracious approach to food? According to Dr, Krott, it was because Bumali and Sepha, like wild bears, had to find their own food after they were wean, ed. Carnivores with an instinct to slash out at anything edible, they considered food something to be grabbed-not given to them by another animal, Other carnivores like wild dogs and tigerS, Dr. Krott points out, are fed gobbets of meat by their mothers and as a result of this early conditioning can later be bribed with food into becoming pets. But a bear, he says, cannot be so bribed because the mother bear simply doesn't feed. him, but only shows him where to find his meal. A bear .may learn to get along with people, but when food is involved his friendliness stops, Dr. Krott's warning for hu- mans "The way to a bear's heart is not through his stomach." In other words, please don't feed the bears. .1 TWO IN ONE-A two-headed turtle was found in a batch of turtles shipped from Loui- siana by Joseph Margell, own- er of a Chicago pet shop.

This would burst out a great cloud of erudite and sapi- ent dust, which would billow and bulge along the aisle, and which often made Miss Aldrich rip off an old bruiser of a sneeze. Miss Aldrich was forever a lady, but when she. sneezed on book dust she gave it all she had. If Miss Aldrich sneezed, we knew we were back beyond the .memory of men, in the limbo of history, where things were true because they were old, When I peeled. a five-spot off my heavy roll last summer and dropped it in the libraryefund, naturally had Miss Aldrich in mind. Somehow I was not think- ing in terms of a year's subscrip- tion to Hot Rod magazine or books named. "Big Molecules," "Earth Science, Elements of the Universe," an d "Automotive Maintenance & Trouble Shoot- ing," Nor was I thinking of titles which, like diesel-electric plants, gain stature because of govern- ment refunds,. • Ah, yes . • , there was a pro- paganda value to Miss.

Anyway, this past summer the foregather- leg graduates of my old high school passed the hat during their eununer picnic, end came up with about $250 which they gave to the principal to buy new books. for the new library of the new schoolhouse. I have just received by mail a list of his purchases, with price of each, and by applying the Julies Jenkins rule. I think I can see what a high school is. like, nowadays. Tee principal, in buying this list of books, actually spent about VO more than the donations, but he expluins that some of these books are "approved" by the Na- tional Defense Act and there will be en allowance on these and he will get more than the $20 back from Washington, It occurs to me that those of us who see no like- lineee of "federal control" in fed- era! education stipends may want to reflect on this and notice the ingenious way 'Washington has of persuading principals about which books to buy. It may, in- deed, he a surprise to some that federal assistance is present be- fore any of us knew it was en= acted, Anyway, the hefty physics purchase is probably thus ex- plained. We had no school library when - 1. was there, The manual train- ing boys had made a pine book- shelf which was about five feet Wide; and it fitted between two- steam radiators to hold a certain collection of.

If research or curiosity took us farther than that we went to the town library, which was a Car- negie institution run by a self- perpetuating committee, a n d which was not attuned to school uses on purpose. The librarian was named Annette Aldrich,eand to the entire community she was "Miss" Aldrich, daughter of a seafaring ancestry and ideally fitted for a librarianship, Miss Aldrich presided„ This is the Ideal word to explain what she did. Her desk had regal qualities, and she sat rter throne. with no- • blesse oblige, When given problem she would tirelessly help us look for whatever we needed, and after she had fixed the in- quisitive schoolboy up 'with doc- umentation she would artfully slip in ",Toe Strong on the High Wire," or "Tom Swift and his Aerial Warship," ". to read for fun," Miss Aldrich's burden_ was al- ways the stringency of funds for new books.

Experiment Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking Weather Was Hot --Aussies Hotter Quick, quiet Roy Emerson, 25, was the odd man of Australian tennis for five years - always ready, but never tapped for Davis Cup envies competition. Even though he won both the Austra- lian and American singles cham- pionships in 1961, Emerson was still a doubtful starter in the Davis Cup against Italy last month. Erratic Rod Laver, the world's finest amateur on good days, and brittle Neale Fraser, the world's finest amateur on healthy days, appeared set for the singles berths. But when Fraser, recuperating from a knee operation, failed to regain top form, the. Aussies gambled-naming the man they call Emma toplay sin glee. In the 100-degree heat of Melbourne, Emmo crushed Italy's Nicola Pie- trangeli, teamed with. Fraser to win the doubles, and then beat Orlando Sirola.

Don't Feed The Bears ---It's Dangerous Smokey the Bear may be a friendly public-relations symbol for the Forest Service, . but in 1960 his cousins mauled 143 Americans visiting the national parks, Hunters, zoo-keepers, and. animal trainers agree: "Either wild or in captivity, bears arc the manic-depreeelves of the animal world. One moment a bear seems happy, the next he may kill a man with a swipe of a paw, • Now, for the first time, a scien- tist has a theory to account for the dangerously unpredictable antics of bears. He is Dr, Peter Krott, a 42-year-old Finnish zoologist who has become a sort of Freud for wildlife. • Bears, he says in the current Natural History magazine, act bearishly because of a food com.plex; Their mothers don't feed them with proper care, but don't feed them proper care, but make them fend for themselves. In 1959, Krott decided to take a. first-hand look at bear life by raising two Eurasian brown bears named Burnell and Sepha under as nearly natural condi- tions as possible. He took bears and family (he and his wife have two boys, now aged 7 and 9) to an isolated village in the Italian Alps for some community living. The cubs, first fed milk from a bottle, foraged for their own food from the age of five months. They made their den in a stable near the Krotts' home and were free to wander or join 'the boys in play. At first, Krott worried that a loving cuff from a bear might damage a son, But he Soon found that the bears were not only "extremely timid, even tender" With the boys but that they usu- ally had no time to play. They Many Applicants here are screened more carefully than those at an exclusive girls' boarding school. Their character and background are scrutinized juet as minutely as their credit references. Gay blades have no chance, The pur- pose here is to attract the family trade and nothing . is allowed which would displease this type of customer, Packaged liquor is sold, but none may be served or consumed on the premises, You can buy almost anything here which can be . carried away in an automobile. Business is `wholly "carriage trade," with no deliveries and no .charge ac- counts. * During the very first week back in 1934, Mr. KidsOn recalls, a customer asked to buy a whole box which that day constituted his .entire stock' of tomatoes, "I . told him I was not after the wholesale trade," Mr. Kidson says. "I told him I would rather sell one tomato each to 50 wo- men, because I wanted to build family trade," "When we started," he tells us, "none of us could have changed a -five-cent piece. We were all broke, even the man who started all this. We took in $11 at my stand the first day, $3.75 the first Thursday, then jumped to $22 on • Saturday, That first week was kind of slow." • *. • * The man who brought the • 18 ' farmers together was Roger Dab-, ljelm, a promoter from Minneso- ta, • He rented the land from the owner, Earl B. Gilmore (presi- dent of the A. F. Gilmore Com- pany) and persuaded the farm- ers they could find a market for their produce by coming together here.. M. Dahljelm passed on in 1949 and, in .the years since, Farmers Market has developed way be- yond his original concept. It gradually grew from a produce market to a one-stop shopping ccntcr offering almost any corn- . modity a customer would be like- ly to want, from enchiladas to expensive imported neckwear, The criterion has never changed: everything offered here repre- sents the best of its kind. Now, under the management of John Gosto-vich, who is vice- president and general manager also of the 'A. F. Gilmore Com- pany, the market includes three distinct types of business, Mr. Bennett says: More than a score of restaur ants which offer permanent seat- ing for more than 1,800 at e time. A tremendous supermarket in- cluding five meat markets, four Pateltry markets', five bakeries, 11 fruit and vegetable stalls, two• delicatessen-tea shops, arid candy stands and flower stalls. Stores which include types of merchandiee in more than 80 shops. They call it Farmers Market in Los Angeles, but as it is to- day a more descriptive name would be The Place of the Smil- ing People. A story has ;one the rounds here that in one era, an inquir- ing reporter walked around among the shoppers and thrust a microphone at first one and then another, asking each to comment for the listening tele- vision audience. With only slight variations, each visitor said the same thing: "Everyone here at Farmers Market is so friendly!" * * * However musical this sounded to the management and to the shopkeepers, it made a very dull TV program, It did not last long. But Farmers Market, founded in 1934 when 'folks were trying to pull themselves through the depression, has lasted almost 30 years and gives promise of going on forever. Its success is attri- buted by its assistant general manager, Murray H, Bennett, chiefly to one factor: the people who run the 165 or so shops crowded into these 20 acres. "It takes years to get the kind of people together we have here," says Mr, Bennett. "You can build shops and a market, you can put in stalls and counters, 'but it is the people that make it all go." Richard L. Kidson, familiarly known as "Baby Bunch" because he pioneered in bunching and offering for sale baby turnips and beets which others had been, throwing away, is the only one left here now of the original 18 farmers who first brought their finest produce here and sold it over the tailgates of their wag- ons. (Mast people say there were 17 farmers in that group, but Mr, Kidson says firmly that there were 18.) Now several of these thriving stalls are in charge of the second generation of the founding fa- mily. There's almost a feeling of dynasty about it, hand, in the midst of all the gaiety, you sense a dignity and self-respect that lends stature to the whole. You soon discover, as you Chat with the shopkeepers, that they are all individuals in their own right, who share one dominant drive: loyalty to this market which has come to represent, in the minds of both merchants and patrons, a synonym for quality. In a day when mass merchan- dising is depriving people of the personal touch in shopping, th.e business of making purchases here becomes a delightful exer- cise in friendliness and good will. This is an oasis where individual,. competitive enterprise daily wins =Jet friends and pays handsome returns t-6 diligent workers. Once you know the standards by which these meichants op- erate, you are no longer stir- prised at the superb quality of everything displayed.
