Music Hath Charms. — To Look Al -- Holding clown three of the
biggest jobs in. the Berkshire Music Center's orchestra are, left
to right: Rachel Shields and Jane Ann Hicks who play the "bull
fiddles," and Constance Weldon who gets music from the bass
tuba. The double -basses are six feet, seven inches high and the
huge brass horn weighs 40 pounds—in case you get around to
looking at the musical instruments.
Good Pupils—Here are three "catching eyefuls" front whom light-fingered crooks are hearing
the days. Those lovelies, left to right: Dorothee Wolf, Mary Sanios and Mary Jane Vignola, are
real detectives—"Private eyes" whose job is in the public eye. When this picture was token they
had just bean credited with apprehending a shoplifter with a long record, Miss Sanios spotted the
thief with $200 worth of stolen goods in a store and all three girls held onto the culprit until
police arrived. Well, if you've got to be arrested, what better way than being held by three girls
such as thane?

,JSe:ftal Mosquitoes!
At last. Science has found a use
for mosquitoes' :\t the New York
State Agricultural Experimental
Station mosquito larvae or "wrig-
glers" are used in a bio-assay to
determine the :mount of residual
toxic material on fruits and vege-
tables. Mosquito larvae are extrem-
ely sensitive to the sprays. Less
than one part of the toxic sub-
stance in 10,000,000 parts of vege-
table cast be detected. '1'lte iusccti-
cl.ic used must be 10101411 before
iia presence can he measured,
Toxicants differ in their reaction
patterns, the station explains, and
only if the insecticide has been
identified rhes the mosquito assay
apply.

By Rev. R. 13, Warren, B. A., B. D.
The Larger Fellowship of
Christians
Acts 1 1:27-30; 15:1-2; 22, 23,
28-31; 2 Cor. 9:1-5,
Memory Selection: He that is not
against us is for us. Luke 9:50b.
It is sometimes cynically infer-
red that Canada is becoming "a
welfare state", While opposing
communism we are advancing more
and more into the field of social
service. Very few of those who
benefit directly from it, complain.
Others, alarmed at the rising costs,
declare 'that it tends to destroy
initiative,
]n the early clays of lsrael's his-
tory, church and state functioned
as one, They were not separated
as they are to -day. \Ve read such
commands as "When thou beatest
thine olive tree, thou shalt not go
over the boughs again: it shall he
for the stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the widow" Deur, 24; 29.
In the period of New Testament
History the church was distinctly
separate from the Roman gavern-
'tient. The church had to care for
itself. .Hence Christians in one
country were intensely concerned
about the welfare o1 their brethren
in other countries. \\'Item famine
struck Judea, the Christians in An-
tioch, Macedonia, and Achaia gave
generously to help. Paul helped to
direct the relief work. One must not
say that he used High pressure
methods 041 the Coritttltians. He did
not compel them to give but by
recounting the generosity of the
poor Macedonians be sought earn-
4sttly to make them willing to give.
The entry of Centiles into tete
Christian fellowship presented some
problems. To what extent must
they take on the customs of the
Jews. The matter was settled at a
conference in Jerusalem. Gentiles
must abstain from meats altered to
idols, and from blood. and from
things strangled, and from for11i-
cation. 'Che conduct of the Chris -
dans is nit governed by many laws
but by divine love which makes
hint want to live after the example
set by Itis Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Frozen Alive For
Millions of Years .
Human beings have survived the
ordeal of being in a frozen coma
for as long as three clays, but that
is the tiniest fraction of time com-
pared with the latest refrigeration
news from the central Pacific.
In ice-cold samples of ocean,
bottom stud scientists have identi-
qed bacteria that have been frozen
alive for millions of years, the
oldest living organisms in the
world.
The discovery was made by a
sea safari under the sponsorship
of the Scripps Institute of Oceano-
graphy that traced a ulountaln
range which runs under water for
1,100 miles and, at places, rises
-14,000 feet,
Echo -sounding apparatus defined
Peaks, valleys and plains. Depth
dredges scooped mud cores from
the ocean floor. The bacteria
sprang from suspended animation
into life, 'and grew with vigour
when placed on a culture medium,
Nor was this the only dramatic
discovery. A mile down, on the
peaks of the sub -Pacific mountains,
are caps of solid manganese, One
deposit alone measures 20 miles
long and 10 miles wide and is
estimated to contain 120,000,000
tons, Science may retrieve this
wealth for future generations,
And the long-lived germs They're
just bacillus coli --often found in
sewage sludge!
