break In Bradford, a teNtile city
of some 279,000 in 'Yorkshire
and a mystifying turn of events.
Jack Crossley, a slaughterhouse
worker, was stricken and died,
Jan. 10, No connection could, be
found between Crossley and the
two Pakistanis,
,Suddenly, smallpox struck in
the worst possible place—a pe-
diatric hospital, Bettie Whetlock,
40, a cook at Bradford Children's
Hospital, died Jan, 12. A student
nurse and four young patients
were seriously ill, Bradford's
medical officer Dr, John Douglas
learned that Crossley had visited
his daughter while a patient at
the hospital. But this was before
Crossley's Illness,
The mystery was at last resolv-
ed when Dr. Norman Ainley, pa-
thologist at the hospital, fell vic-
tim. Douglas remembered that
Dr, Ainley had performed an au-
topsy on a 9-year-old Pakistani
girl named Anayat Degum on
Dec. 30, The cause of her death
was thought to be malaria, At
postmortem, Dr. Ainley found a
suspicious rash on the body, but
it wasn't enough for a smallpox
diagnosis. Now Drs. Ainley and
Douglas knew. They also realized
that this youngster, not Khan,
was the first to bring smallpox
to Britain; she had arrived earl-
ier.
Meanwhile, unreasoning fear, a
disorder potentially as dangerous
as smallpox itself, gripped much
of the country. "We want our
children vaccinated," screamed a
mob of women outside a clinic in
Leeds. To quiet similar clamor
throughout the country, the Min-
istry repeatedly stated that vac-
ctnation of those in contact with
smaljpox victims would be suf-
ficient to quell the outbreak.
Inevitably, the outbreak be-
came a political issue, Tory
M.P.'s cried for stricter control
of Pakistani immigration and
chided the Laborites for blocking
the government's immigration
bill. One provision: No admission
for immigrants unable to show a
clean bill of health.

She .Raispd An Orphan
Hummingbird: t
The Cooleye home is about
20 miles from gugene, near Leas:
burg, Ore., where they have an
ere of ground on the McKenzie
River, with flowers, • trees, and
bushes which provide practically
a bird. sanctuary, for they permit
no eats on their premises, There
are usually many hummingbirds
about getting nectar from their
• flowers, and Mrs. Copley had al-
ways watched them with keen
Interest,
She learned that on dull days,
when the flowers did not yield
enough nectar to sustain their
swift flight, the tiny hummers
went into a kind of torpor, con-
serving their energy for another
try at the flowers. Early one
morning she found one on a wire
sitting quietly, his eyes closed,
Although he seemed aware of
her • as she approached him he
did not move but, as she barely
touched him, he opened his eyes
and flew to nearby flowers. She
wished then that she might
.sometime get one to light on her
hand,
On a Sunday afternoon two
seasons later, she had her wish,
Her next-door neighbor came
over holding something out to
her. "Do you want this? See what
I ;found," she said, placing in the
palm of Betty Cooley's hand the
tiniest almost featherless little
bird - she had ever seen. It was
a baby hummingbird which had
faller., from its nest From what
she later learned about hum-
mingbirds, she entimated it must
have been about 10 days old,
She knew baby birds must
be fed every 15 minutes and de-
cided this one's first meal should
be sugar and water as the near-
est thing to flower nectar, It
accepted this eagerly from an
eye dropper. Then she called Dr.
Ralph R. Huestis, professor of
biology at the University of Ore-
gon in E•urgene, who advised
that some protein should be ad-
ded, So she pressed out the juice
of a little hamburger, combining
it with the sugar and water to
make an acceptable baby-bird
soup.
Apparently. no mother bird
could have provided better meals,
for the little fellow, less than
an inch long when she got him,
grew amazingly that first Week.
She made a soft little nest for
him of cleaning tissue and got a
little cage in which he could
move about safely. His feet and
legs were so slender you could
hardly see them, she said, and
he used his wings and bill like
little walking sticks,
She devised his bath from the
shallow base of a butter dish
such as is used to hold a quarter-
pound of butter. It was too slip-
pery for him to light on, so she
put adhesive tape on sides and

birds,
When he started to fly from his
cage he would go as far as be
could and then just drop onto
whatever' was beneath him, He
learned to light on .Betty's shoal-
der, or on one finger: If, in the
morning, she bad her hair in
curlers, he made for thorn as
though they were intended eepe-
cially for him to perch on.
The intelligence of this feath-
ered mite was always a wonder
to the Cooleys, He expressed his
pleasure when there was music
on the hi-fi by delighted little
chirps, After being fed he ,al-
ways chirped a satisfied "thank
you," Betty had a small bell
which she rang et feeding time
and he quickly learned to re-
spond to the call.
He also 'discovered around the
fireplace tiny little spiders, the
size of a pinhead, of which there
are many in that part of the
country, When lie could find no
more, Betty, using one of the tiny
feathers be had dropped, got on
her bends and knees and brushed
minute spiders out of the corners,
putting them hi a small bottle.
Then, when he wanted one she
would shake it out on her finger
and brush it off. As it dropped
down at the end of a slender
thread of web, the bird would
dart from the lampshade or cur-
tain rod and have it in an instant.
They called him Smidge be-
cause he was so small. rn the
morning when Betty greeted him
with, "Good morning. Smidge,"
he held his wings close to his
side, mouth wide, and swayed

He had his little games, too.
When her husband was at the

Through its own long-standing
and burdensome wheat surplus
is rapidly dissolving under the
attrition of inclement weather,
poor crop s, and increased ex-
ports, Canada watches with
anxiety the development of agri-
cultural policy in the United
States.
A survey of the Canadian
wheat situation by Prof. David.
L. MaeFerlane of McGill Uni-
versity, a leading authority, con-
cludes that Canada's sudden
spurt of exports to. Communist
China has hardly begun to
solve the prairie .farmer's prob-
lems.
An end of the Canadian wheat
surplus is in sight, but, this, says
Professor MacFarlane, • "implies
little further price or income im-
provement." *
Only when the United States
can reduce its massive surplus
and modify its policy of dumping
wheat, he charges, "is there a
chance for optimism , about the
world situation."
For that reason Canadian agri-
culture is intensely interested in
the recent statement of two Re-
publican spokesmen, Sen. Pres-
cott B u s le of Connecticut and
Rep. Thomas B, Curtis of Mis-
souri, who suggest a radical
change in United States f,ar m
policy.
Their proposal that the United
State should not confine a policy
of tariff reduction to industrial
goods but should begin to dis-
mantle the high walls of pro-
tectionism around its farms is
highly relevant to Canada's agri-
cultural problem.
• At present, says Professor
MacFarlane, "U n.it'e d S t a t e s
dumping of wheat in otherwise
commercial Western European
markets is hurting Canadian ex-
ports. '
"In the last crop y ear the
United States exported 140,000,-
000 bushels to western Europe.
This compared with about 60,-
000,000 bushels the previous
year. Inquiries a b out the me-
chanics of the pricing formula
used by the United. States Gov-
ernment in these sales go unan-
swered,"
B u t, Professor MacFarlane
asserts, "the gigantic United
States (wheat) surplus is affect-
ed only slightly by a vast- scale
of ,give-sways and 'dumping. Ex-
perts from that country in the
1960-61 crop year were 669,000,-
000 bushels, b u t supplies still
stand at nearly 2,000,000,000
shels," *
As the United States surplus
overhangs the world market, Ca-
nada finds its own wheat situa-
tion drastically changed. The
.great Canadian surplus built Up
since 1952 probably will disape
Pear this year; 'Professor Mac-
Farlane says.
In the peat deoade the annual
carryOver of unsold wheat aver,
aged More than a 1,000,000,000
bushels but InOthe present crop
year it dipped to 788,500,000 bu-
shels,
This was the result of two.fac-
tore:
1. A sharp increase of exports
to 354,000,000 bushels, including
exports of 60,000,000 bushels to
Communist China, a new cus-
tomer, and a drop of only 262,-
000,000 btishele in 1961, the low-
est since. 1031.
2. Moisture conditions oil the

Clan governments have refused,

Without direct government
support, wheat prices have been
edging upward in the last year
to a new high of over $1,80 a
bushel for the best grade.
Over the last five years the
farmer received between $1,25
and $1,30 a bushel at the farm
as an average for all grades.
This compares with a price of
$1.50 to $1.60 ten years ago.
Even an increased price re-
cently is not enough to compen-
sate the farmer foe his rising
costs. "Considering that the
things farmers buy have risen
by 25 per cent in the • last 10
years," Professor MacFarlane
argues, "the financial squeeze on
wheat producers has been se-
vere,"

Rainier capitulated but he was

DRIVE WITH CARE I
Dread Smallpox
Invades Europe
Across Europe last month a
terrible cry of the Middle Ages
was heard: Smallpox,
In England six persons were
dead and at least sixteen others
seriously ill, A nurse caring for
a quarantined family he Dussel-
dorf, Germany, died, and several
other smallpox eases were re-
corded in that,city. A 24-year-old
German on his way to Copenha-
gen was ushered off a train hi
the Netherlands, when he showed
signs of smallpox. Seven Portu-
guese refugees from Goa who
had arrived in Lisbon with early
symptoms of the disease—high
fever, aches in the back, legs, and
arms, and the beginnings of a
pus-filled rash—were isolated.
In the United States, which has
not had a single smallpox case
since 1953, the Public Health
Service urged anyone who came
in contact with an international
traveler to be revaccinated if last
inoculated more than a year ago.
By vaccination, the disease has
been kept well under control in
most Western countries. But
with the jet age, infected trav-
elers can carry the virus halfway
around the world before falling
sick, This was, made dramatical-
ly clear by events of the past
three weeks.
Except for the German cases
—involving a Dusseldorf engi-
neer who contracted smallpox in
Liberia—the source of the Euro-
pean outbreak was Pakistan.
Since last November, Pakistan
has been swept by an epidemic
which so far has killed 332 per-
sons. Sometime in December,
some Pakistani travelers unwit-
tingly carried the disease to Eng-
land. What followed was an
epidemiologic nightrAre for the
Health Ministry. The first Eng-
lish smallpox report came a few
days after Christmas when esmat

Stores give fantastic figures
about losses from stealing by
customers and, employees. A
friend who is a store detective
says, "You'd be surprised at some
of the people I find slipping ar-
ticles into their clothes. It isn't
just the poor by any means,"
Stealing usually begins with
little things, Just as the person
will be faithful over a few
things, he will likely be faithful
over many things, so the person
that will steal a little, will like-
ly steal a lot If he has the oppor-
tunity.
Many steal from the govern-
ment unabashed. But in the
eyes of God, it is still stealing,
'We shall give account of it some
day,
One person said, "The person
gave me too much by mistake.
I didn't steal it, Should I take
it back?" I said, "If by error,
I received fifty dollars of your
money, what would you expect
me to do about it?" You can
guess the answer. A ten-year-
old boy asked his father for a
definition of ethics. His father
said, "I cannot define ethics, but
I can give you an illustration. It's
this way. Your Uncle Henry and,
I are in business together. Now
suppose a man comes into the
store and buys a five-dollar ar-
ticle. He gives me a ten-dollar
bill thinking it's a five, and
leaves the store. 1 am thinking
of something -else at the time
and do not notice the mistake
until he's gone. Then I find the
ten-dollar bill, and I say, 'That
man gave me five dollars too
much.' That, my son, raises a
question in ethics. Shall I put
that five-spot in my pocket or
split it fifty-fifty with your
uncle?"
An evangelist bought a street
car ticket. He 'noticed that he
had received ten cents too much.
He went back to the conductor,
and reported it, "i knew it," said
the conductor, "I heard you
preach last night, I wanted to
see if you practised what you
preached."
People steal from God, too.
Joshua took of the silver and
gold consecrated to God. So,
many rob God of the tithes and
offerings. No wonder there is so
much more money for liquor
than for the cause of the King-
dom. We need a spiritual awake-
ning.
