"Some farmers start screaming," said an official at the inspection branch, "but they, asked for it." At the convention of the Niagara Pen- insula Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association last fall a motion was . unanimously passed called for str'ct government inspection of all fruit and vegetables harvested, A similar motion was passed by She Horti- cultural council in Ottawa. * * * The Main idea behindtlte motion was to raise the standard of On- tario fruit sold to the consumer. Poor fruit of the past few years had under -quality. green, sub -standard produce undermined -the confidence of the consumer in Ontario produce, with the result .that ' the shopper was more likely to buy. imported frit, either ,froth ;United States or British Columbia 'farms.

The remainder were immature, small, dried-up, rotten and away below No. 1 standard. "A shopper buying that basket would , have blown his top," said the official at the inspection branch, "ancf. would sooner have thrown his money away at a race track than toss it down the drain on trash like that," a * x Supervising Inspector L. C. Sturdy seized 20 similar baskets at the CNR freight station at Wes- tern Hill.

"We wilt be mato- ing our rounds even more so,' Said Mr, Sturdy, as he warned that strict inspection would be made * * , The officials at the inspection de• partment were at a loss to under- stand why farmers would allow low grade fruit to leave their farms.

They have also robbed houses, committed murder and occasionally have lost their own lives while. sleepwalking. Recent rases in medical journals describe - that of the 10 -year-old schoolboy who end to get out of bed, pick his way through a dark- ened room, carefully avoiding all obstacles, then travel miles by foot and bus while still asleep. Next morning he would be back in lt'ls xoom, unable to .remember anything about it. Psychiatrists discovered that six months previously he had volun- teered to be hypnotised on the stage. The lrypnotistihad told him that be would remain under hyp- notic influence for six months, after Whitt time lie must return the hypnot- ist ot- n theatre and see o the tP t eY ist again. The boy's sleepwalking was an attempt to do this. Another case was that of the taxi-driver who would go to sleep after a hard day's work, dresswhile still aslecand,do another five or six hours strut at the wheel. "Used to Wonder" • He used to wonder where the money in his pockets came from in the morning. It transpired ,that for . twenty. years the taxi-driver had worked only at nights, but considered that since he was getting older he would switch to daytime driving. The old habits were so strong that Isis unconscious mind took lent back to work at nights while he - was still asleep.

The judge refused to allow such testinlony,but.a dourt'of appeal re- versed the guilty virdiet and the defendant was eventually freed. Certain phases of sleepwalking still baffle the experts, Only one fact is certaiu - that tlie' sleep- walker's body is controlled by bis s subconscious mind. This deep rnsery;oir, of his hopes,; fears, probletis and frustrations takes direct coritr•al not only of the sleepwalker's limbs and muscles but borrows some of the faculties of the conscious mind as Well. It uses thein in the physical expi•ea- sion of actual desires. Baffled Experts In the more common forms of sleepwalking, somnambulism usual- ly occurs about two hours after re- tiring -- when sleep reaches its greatest depth. How long the state lasts depends , on the individual and his personal- ity. It may last a few minutes, a few hours, or several months. The somnambulist may journey to a distant town, get a job, buy a house, and even marry. m }. This is the reason why sante emi- nent authorities believe that most of the disappearance and loss -of - memory cases we constantly hear about may actually involve som- nambulism. trot.

David Becomes King 1 Sam. 18: 1-5, 14-16; 22: 1-2; 2 Sam. 5: 1-5. Memory Selection -Man looketh on rthe outward appearance, but the Ldid looketh on the heart. 1 Sam- uel 16:7. This is the first of four lessons directly on David. We' have more information about his extremely important career than we have about any other Old Testanient character. Tt is a thrilling story. I -le was the youngest of eight brothers and dhs brought in from following the sheep to be anointed king of Israel. When Saul desired a musician, one of his servants sug- gested David, describing him as one "that is cunning in playing and a mighty valiant man and a man of w•ar, and prudent in mat- ters. and a comely person, and the Lord is with hint." History records no such renterlc- able friendship between two men as that between David and Jona-. than, King Saul's son. Under the circumstances one might have ex- pected enmity and jealousy. But, instead, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David. Oe Jonathan's death David lamented, "1 am distressed for thee m y brother Jonathan: very pleasant v 111g�,• b i,l1tia m :.t love to me *VS wonderful, passing the love of women,". Forced to take refuge in the cave of Adullanl, David was joined by 400 men of broken- fortunes, rest- less spirits, who were so up against it they knew not what to do with themselves. They were men with no reputation to maintain, for whom vengeance was natural. Yet with David as their captain they offered no otlence to the offensive Saul nor gave any disturbance to the peace of the kingdom. Their wild natures were subdued and di - reeled. Thank God, Jesus, lira Son of David, is also ready to receive dis- women h tressed men and wo who will e choose hint as their captain, and be commanded by 'him. They will find a new leader, a new service, and a new life -new things far more wonderful than diose that attrac- ted the four hundred to David of old, SAFETY FIRST The railway porter looked search- ingly at the three girls waiting on the platform.
