A burglar who stole four dozen rakes from a restaurant in Bex- hill, England, wrote the proprietor a note stating: "Thank you --the calces are wonderful," NOT A WORRY IN THE WORLD -What to do when the world's cares weigh too heavily is here demonstrated by Patrick Brown of • the St. Peter's -St. Joseph's Homes. The recipe: take a sturdy branch, a piece of string, a bent pin, a fallen log, a quiet stream, and arrange them in this manner. One word of caution -this can be habit-forming. HRONICLES ING R XRM 'TY' Gagyed-elir.e D Clonlec Some weeks on a farm nothing gots right -everything wrong that can happen does happen. But not last week -the only thing not ac- cording to schedule was one of our cows getting in with the hei- fers -generally if the cattle get :nixed up at all it is because a heifer jumps .a fence and gets in with the cows. * * 9: Maybe Partner might not agree with the foregoing statement as he was busy most of the week clean- ing out the barnyard - with the tractor hitched on to the spreader. Apparently backing into the barn- yard was quite a tricky business and there were times when I heard Partner talking to himself with considerable fluency . , . "of all the contary contraptions . why did 1 ever think I wanted a tractor with horses I'd have had the spreader backed in and half a load on by now." One day he even had an audience -although at the time he didn't know it! I had a friend spending the day with me and while I was getting dinner she took a stroll around the farm. Partner was teased unmercifully at dinner -time as she would not tell him how long she had been watch- ing him -and listening,' * ]However it really has been a nice week - weather just pleasantly warm and sunny - except one day when it was raining most of the titne. That, of course, was the day of our W.I. meeting so my freshly washed car got splattered with mud from end to end. We also had the census enumerator for dinner that day, and the poor dear looked tired out. Believe me, anyone who works for the government on some of these temporary jobs deserves every cent they are paid. But of course, it depends on the job. For instance, according to press reports, Mayor McCallum is receiv- ing $25 a day, plus travelling ex- penses, as Consumer Representa- tive on the Milk Board, for every day the Board meets -and it has already had twelve meetings, Looks as if there is an easier way of get- ting money out of cows than by milking then, And with no danger of having the cows' tails flipped across your face, or of almost liter- ally having to bath the cows before you start earning your money. 01i well . , . I suppose that's tine way of the world, 5' * * ikriends from tine city often bring forth many a smile. A few weeks ago Partner had the lane freshly gravelled and to stake cars and trucks keep to the centre of the lane Ile placed a few large stones along either side. Apparently he ran out of rocks and used two or three blocks of wood instead. ,One visitor said she thought we had been drawing stovewood and some of it had dropped off, Another picket) up one of the blocks and wondered should she bring it up 10 the how(' for usl * * * Sunday morning Partner and I attended the 13Ist Anniversary Service at Boston Church -a beau- tiful little Country Church in the centre of this community. The church was filled to capacity. Au- nivers:u'y Sunday always brings out a large congregation as so many who 'have left the district come back for this particular clay. Al- . ways there seems a special appeal in the country- churches of pioneer settlements. There, in the adjoin- ing churchyard, are the graves of the predecessors of many of those who were attending church that day. You could almost feel their presence in the lovely old church - taking part in the prayers and the hymns, and maybe listening to the sermon with a strange wonderment. The visiting minister was the Rev. Fred Douglas. Toronto -and he was a very fluent and forceful speaker. He told us that recently h the II,S,A, a Gallup poll was taken in answer to the question -"What is the most important factor in your life today?" Eight per cent had answered "God" -fifty-six per cent, "Social Security!" Mr. Douglas said that fifty years ago the figures would probably have been exactly the reverse, as in those days there was more concern for the soul and less for the material things of life. * e * Another pertinent question was this -"Communists deny the exist- ence of God .. . but how much better are we who merely ignore Hint?" 4, * * If it were possible to take an honest Gallup poll in a Communist country I wonder what would the answer to the sante question that was asked in Democratic America - "What is the most important facto' , in your life today?" Maybe the an- swers might surprise us, Many Uses For Kitchen Shears Of cottr a you use your kitchen shears for mincing parsley and chives, cutting up salad greens, green pepper, • etc., for salads, but do you also use them for: 1.

Cutting yeast dough into uni- form pieces before shaping into rolls? 4. Snipping off overlapping pie - crust after it has been placed in the plate? 5, For culling ftp candied fruits, such as orange and lemon peels, citron, and cherries? 6. Removing neck and wing tips from poultry? 7. Cutting taffy or other pulled candy into pieces? Wetting shears first helps here. ' 8. Opening boiled lobsters?

SUMMER Truro the vantage point of June we can loult back on the greater part of spring, even thought the summer solstice still lies ahead. Looking hack, with a wealth of fresh peonies around us, and with a rainbow of iris and a garland of roses that make the Heart leap, we can say that it was one of the most beautiful springs in years. Ours is a fortunate region. Some Places have little or no spring, win- ter holding on too long and summer ar'r'iving too early. But our winter usually eases away, as it did this year, and the trees have time to leaf out leisurely and the field flowers to tale their turn. That, after all, is what makes a spring - the leisurely leaf and the flowering fields and uplands, the sprouting and the first strong growth that reaches toward summer and matur- ity. So, because the frosts died early, we have had a spring that was a new and growing miracle week by week. The violets were like a pur- ple haze, so many, so big and so full of color. Dogwood spangled the woods with shimmering beauty. Lilacs outdid themselves and made the evenings heady with their fra- grance. The fruit trees were lavish with their blossoms. Chokecherry now stands full of flower clusters and bees, and the honey locust fairly drips with blossom and sweet- ness. Blackberries are like white cascades of petals. Buttercup and hawkweed gild the meadow. Morning after May morning it seemed that spring had, reached its climax; and yet by evening the maple leaves were larger still, the Vass was taller, the blossoms had increased their number. The mir- acle continued, as though to over- ride human doubt and worry. And BOW we have Jure, and summer, for which springwas only prepar- ation. _From 'Tile New York Times. Forty-five years ago Angelo de Angelis of Avezzano, in Italy, was in the United States- While there he mailed a parcel of baby clothes to his wife in Italy for their son. It didn't turn up until the other day, when it came back to Angelis. Forty-five years too late for the son, the clothes, however, fit An- gelis' grandson perfectly. r 1INDAY SCHOOL IISSON By Rev. R.

"'Things aren't what they used to he; children no longer obey their parents, and everyone wants to WJ'ite a book." 'Phis statement sounds modern but actually it is the oldest known piece of writing in the world. It is 011 an ancient piece of papyrus in the museum of Constantinople, People talk much the same today. When a young person goer wrong, ask these pertinent ques- tions. Did Iris mother and grand- mother have the unfeigned faith. that Timothy's had? Was he given • a knowledge of the holy scriptures from a child as Timothy was? If • the e'hild did not have these the cause of his fault lies largely with . liis ancestors. God visits "the ini- quity of the fathers upon the chil- dren unto the third and fourth generation." Ex, 20;5. The laws of heredity' illustrate this to be true. The relation of husband and wife is beautifully illustrated by the relation of Christ and the church, God said to Eve after the fall, "Thy desire shall be to thy hus- band, and Ire shall rule over thee." The arrangement whereby tic. hus- band is not the head of the home is unnatural. The husband tends to belittle himself, the wife becomes overbearing and the family does not command the respect of the com- munity. But we must also. note that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it. One can- not conceive of a domineering hus- band in that pattern. He takes the heavy end. He Loves. He gives. Children are to obey in the Lord their parents and honour ahem, But God has the right to first place in the child's affections. The parents in turn are not to provoke their children to wrath but to bring then me in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, What a responsibility to be a parent. The child can quickly de- tect hypocrisy. lie can likewise dis- cern between brutal punishment and godly chastisement. To give your child the hest opportunity you must be a Christian.
