Then in a vision he receiv- ed a call to Macedonia. In Europe he had many thrilling and ex- citing, experiences. In the goal at Philippi the gaoler was con- verted after an earthquake had opened the doors and loosed the prisoners' bonds. At Athens he spoke to a distinguished group from the historic Areopagus. But his most prolonged ministry was in Corinth, a great commercial seaport town. For a year and a half he laboured in this city of intense wickedness. There were friends and enemies. Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue was an early convert. Many believed. When the Jews succeeded in bringing Paul before the court for his teaching, Gallo, the dep- uty, dismissed the case. The Greeks then turned and beat Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue. mines happened where Paul went preaching. People were converted from their pagan ways, Also some Jews came to believe on Jesus Christ.

We thank God for it, (2) Indifference to religion is a predominating characteristic Multitudes just don't care. (3) Some ministers are afraid to speak out against popular sins. They don't wish to take the risk of offending some of their mem- bers. Of course it is termed diplomacy and tact. But we won- der in many cases if God wouldn't ` call it unfaithfulness, TIILFA1N FRONT Jo6cuszeil Are a lot of us farmers slaves to an out-of-date type of farm- ing? True, many have adopted some improved practices, often used better seed, applied more fertilizer and adopted improved machinery, but are their minds open to the evolution in farming that is going on in the present age? eeee e 4 Some farms have been entire. ly turned into' grasslands, spoken of by one writer as "Grasslands all the way," by another as "giv- ing up our old corn philosophy," and by some others, the real ex- tremists or cultists. as "organic fanning." There is no such thing as be- ing "oversold" on real grassland fanning any more than on any well - balanced, profitable farm program involving soil building, erosion reoneol, efficient crop production and a well- planned dairy and livestock program be- cause these are Just what is meant liy'. "grassland farming." f theta can e o e be attained as economically and efficiently with- out resorting to the large-scale use of grasslands. o ,. Grassland . farming does not mean that every acre on the farm be turned into grasslands to the exclusion of inter -tilled row crops. It does not mean that grasslands alone will supply all the mineral elements to main- tain soils at, the .highest degree of fertility .. it' -does not mean that to xnathttfitt'profitable live- stock production, all feed nutri- ents consumed by livestock must - come from grasslands. 4 0 4 • True, it. has been shown that profitable livestock ,liaaittenance and large production of meat and dairy products can be attained by going "all the way", with grasslands. This' does' not mean that in a majority of cases this is the most profitable procedure. u - o•e Grasslands have advantages in a farm program "that caiiilot be obtained in any other way, and each one of these should he given full consideration. * a a 1. High quality pasturage and harvested forage provide the lowest cost feed available for livestock production. 2. As much as 80 to 90 per cent of feed for dairy cattle can.. be derived profitably from high quality pasture, hay and grass silage. 4' a 0 3: Grasslands lands will supply large lar e quantities of nitrogen and all the organic matter for good soil filth and high crop yields 4.

White Men and Women Take To " Black Magic " White men and women in South Africa are turning to "black magic" to solve their love problems and cure their ills. So much so that the Government has banned the advertising of • native medicines "containing or alleged to contain fat or any part of the body or entrails of ahumah being, anneal, insect, or reptile, or mythical being." The new regulation carries a fine of £50, or six months' im- prisonment, or both. Yet witch - doctors still claim to have thous- ands of European patrons. • They are charging up to five guineas for "iquondo," a strange spell placed on husbands and wives to guarantee fidelity., It is claimed in tribal villages that anyone who harms a wvoman who is under this chastify spell be- comes ill and dies. The lovesick, anxious to attract attention from the right quarter, can acquire from the witch -doctor a love charm in the form. of paste ground from a potent root and applied as a beauty treatment. Weird Concotions Other treatments are equally mysterious. The Shreds of ele- phant and baboon skins, pieced among hot coals under a blanket, will smoke • gut '-the sunstroke taken by a child. Ginger -roots dropped into the patient's bath will clear the bloodstream in a cure for skin diseases.'Bat manure is sprinkled on embers and the child's head held over the smoke. To the witch -doctor, every root, herb, and scrap of skin, fur and offal has' its purpose -and not only to cure disease. The ambi- tious or impoverished may cail bn the medicine man for assist- ance in improving their business affairs, by the fumigation of their homes or working premises with Indian joss sticks and a shellac mixture. Is It Hypnotism Witch doctors, adorned with animal skulls, leopard skins, and ostrich feathers, have been called in by white housewives in South African cities as fortune tellers - or to "smell out" thieves among native servants. Per even urban- ized natives still fear the strange Long Dead Duce -Puzzling over the letters that spell a name un- known to her, a little Italian girl stoops to look at the tiled word "Duce," Benito Mussolini's title is Italy. while he was dictator of The files lie In Rohhe's Foto ital- ico, once known as "Foro Mus- solini," and terrible power of the witch- doctor with his secret potions and barbaric practices. Among the drugs kept in their gourds is one known as maime, which can wear down the will of the victim and ' has the same effect as hypnotism. They also have tubers known as udakwa, which acts like an anaesthetic. Jungle explorers and big -game hunters tell of cures for arthritis by native medicine men since the early part of the. century. The patients were given extracts from the gall of cattle from which cortisone is new obtained. The fall bladder is the emblem our the witc1i doctor's art.Pioneer big -game hunter, Major Brian Baines, wants the United Nations to set upa scientific commission to investigate the methods and medicines of African'witch-doc- tors for the benefit of manlcind. Uncanny Knowledge "Amid the mumbo -jumbo 0f the witch-doctor'&"calling there is an uncanny ";knowledge of medical affairs-secretremedieb that the white man is only now beginning to discover," he says. "Witch -doc- tors have saved my life half a dozen times: They have cured'me of the dreaded blackwater fever on four occasion. "I have seen natives so badly mauled, by lions,, or wounded'in • battle, that it loilked''as' though nothing could save them. Yet a year later I have returnedeto:their tribal villages to find them fit again, though hideously scarred.? Evidence of the strong lure of witchcraft has been given by a South African M.P., Mr. B. A. Henwood. "Visits by Europeans to *itcly doctors to see the bones thrown (a form of diagnosis and fortune- telling) are more prevalent than is realized," he said. "People with superstitious minds, .especially farmers in isolated areas, still prefer the. native 'doctor' with his 'evil eye' to a white doctor." A farmer in Northern Natal has told hew for years be paid a witch -doctor an ox to came to his farm and ward off the hail which would ruin his crops. His neighbours taunted him. They said his farm was never bit by a hail -storm because of the hills ringing it. The next time the witch -doctor turned up lie was told curtly that his services were not needed Within a week, hail fell on the farm for the first time in living memory. The witeh-doctor was recalled. He agreed to east his spells again -for the higher fee of three oxen a year. "There has been no more hail on my lands since then," says the farmer. SIMPLE ENOUGH One of the most lucrative ems - tamers of the ski instructor at a Laurentian. winter haven was a fat lady who took exactly forty lessons before she mustered sufficient courage actually to attempt the gentlest slide in the vicinity. She negotiated the first ten yards on •her skis and the final hundred and twenty on her very amide posterior. The instructor pulled her out of a snow bank at the bottom of the hill and told her gravely, "That was splendid, just splendid.

Good Taste For Teens By SALLY tMcGli':CLS GOING STEADY: Dear Sally, I am sixteen and very mueh in • love with a boy seventeen. We were going steady for three months before he went away to boarding school My parents think I am too young to go steady and that I should go out with other boys. I feel I should be, true to Bob and that I wouldn't enjoy myself with any- one else, What do you think? I think that you are rather young to go steady with a boy who isn't here, You must get aw- fully lonely staying at home; not even going places with other girls. I believe that having other dates would be good for you as well as for Bob. This wouldn't ' have to mean that you stop lov- ing one another., But it would help you to decide if you are really for each other. Why not write to Bob end ask him what he thinks about friend- ly dates. There must be parties that he would like to attend but doesn't feel free to under your agreement. You are both young and should really be meeting new friends. There will be plenty of time to go steady with Bab when he comes home for the summer holidays. Write Bob long, newsy letters and tell him about what you're doing and how much you miss him. Send him some of his fav- orite cookies and a box of home- made candies. This will show him, even though you do go with the gang, he is still No. 1 man in your life. SCHOOL -NIGHT DATES: Dear Sally, Do you think it's wrong to have dates on school nights? All my girl friends do but my parents won't let me. Please let me know what you think. Of course, each family has its - own rules. I dont think it wrong to have dates on school night but I do think it's unwise, because they interfere with your studies. Besides lack of sleep can cause poor health and is not good for a teenager. I am definitely against school -night dates, for these reasons, unless for some special occassion. Why not stop feeling sorry fer yourself and appreciate the fact that you have parents who want you to be healthy and are not weak enough to give in to your ,pleas, even though,you no doubt make life rather miser- able for there. LUCKY STREAK: Dear Sally, Everybody's doing it but me. By that I mean, all the girls in .my crowd at, high are wearing a lucky streak in 'their hair and my Mom won't let me wear one. Don't you think she is mean? I can't see what harm a streak of blondehair can do to me. What, do you "think? Fashion experts tell me that this two -tonne : hair colon will sweep the country and ,that; we'll be seeing polka dots, blonde bangs, blonde chignons, as well as the blonde stripes. This vogue is fine for the older. sophisticated person, but it is not good taste for 0 !toting girl in high. school. Of course, I don't think yat r mother is _mean. She is trying to keep you "natural and unspoi •• ' ed. Actually there isn't harm in wearinga lucky stripe and if all your gang is wearing one, you could ask your mother to let you wear a less noticeable one, so that you'll still be one of your'gang, I realize that being. teased by your friends can make ould it be that your crowu very d hasCbeen going a little t00 far with their melte- up and your mother has de- cided to draw the line when"they started bleaching their hair. Changing the color ..f your hair can be fun but it can also be dangerous unless you know which products to use. Thera are permanent colors and othere .that wash it out with the next shampoo.

Eimmim �1�1 Y;ej m� Medical Hint. Help for Higit Blood Pressure. Lives of thousands of high -blood - pressure patients may be saved by a new drug now available to physicians. Upwards of 1000 per- sons die each year as a result of high blood pressure caused by a tumor of the adrenal glands, atop the kidney. This form of high blood pressure, always fatal if allowed to progress, can be cured by surgery. But the problem has been to detect the tumor which simulates the symptoms of sev- eral different kinds of high blood pressure. The new drug, Regitine. when injected, causes a dramatic, telltale drop in blood pressure, if tumor is the cause, It thus spotlights the problem and the cure, Tested on hundreds of patients at Duke University, Mayo Clinic and elsewhere, the drug is safe, easy to administer and free of unpleasant side ef- fects.
