Where is my labor's recompense? Why caret the world have common sense? iDE One evening recently thousands' throughout the world listened with a great deal of interest to a broad- cast frons, Le Bourget Airport, Paris France. It was the occasion of the landing of the giant airplane "New York World's Fair, 1939". This marvellous ship of the air had taken off from Floyd Benett Airport New York, some sixteen hours and thirty-five minutes previous to land- ing in France. The commander, Howard Hughes and his crew had expected to take off from the French Airport early in the afternoon far Moscow, the next lap of their journey, but it was well on into the night before all was ready for the take off. Why the delay? The ship had brought them that far in safety, why did they not re- sume their journey at once? The radio operator kept putting in time while waiting by announcing many surmises as to what the trouble was Hour after hour passed and still the giant of the air did not come out of the hanger. Finally every- thing was in completion, but to tighten one . bolt, which would• take about two minutes. Fully half an hour passed before the doors opened and the ship was towed out on to. the field into the midst of news reels photographers, enormous spot. lights, radio broadcasters, and a good representation of people, Again we ask "What was the delay,"? The s]iip seemed alright before it landed, but was it? No. Reports show that there was a grave fear of a shortage of gas, while the plane was over the Atlantic; there had been some damage done to the big twin -motored monoplane and a slight crack was discovered in the tail of the plane. Had Howard Hughes pursued on his sound the world trip, undoubt- edly a forced landingi would have been necessary or even disaster might have followed in the wake of the carelessness of not overhauling the plane. Just how can this be compared to our daily Jives? We are so to speak, the airshhip. As the pilot of the New York Exhibition 1939 was free to start out from America without chart or compass and without consulting the weather bureau as to the advis- ability of taking off and then court disaster, so we are at liberty to live our lives day after day without the free guidance of our Saviour, and as the following of the laws necessary to aviation brought that giant plane safely to France, and finally back to New York in record time, so our observance of the laws of God, will at last give us an undeserved, but safe' and sure entrance into that land where we will no Longerbe buffeted about by the winds of worry and trial which we encounter in this world. , We read that almost as soon as the plane landed mechanics started. to work on it and gasoline trucks 'Mow up and began refueling. To re- fuel was absolutely necessary. Just as we cannot go on from day to day without spiritual refueling. The fuel wasthereready to put in the tanks. ' It was willing to do its work, but had to be contacted with the plane. Our source of power, Jesus Christ, is willing to give us the necessary strength to carry on moment by moment, but we must ask Him. He will not operate in our lives .if we do not want Him to, but will in- stantly become part of our very, be - Mg, if we just inako out' itiojt to Him. We have His inspired word from which to ;tore our needs with His 'precious promises. Unlike the snaps ssed by Howard Hughes, our guide is secure, We ;also have a direct line of communication with Hint by pay- ee. They are the foundation- of our power, Would that we would use them as He would wish us to, THE STEERING' STAR Not by the meteors wandering flight, Not by some comets slow return, Not by the falling stars brief light .Or the false suns that palely burn.

SUMMER -SALADS "Serve on crisp lettuce and garnish with parsley or watercress." This is usually the final sentence to directions for making salads, which applies to the serving of ithe following sum- mer cheese salads as well as to all others. Salads must have an air of crispness, which is easily attained if freshly made and arranged an cold, crisp; lettuce leaves. They must also have eye appeal, hence a garnish of parsley, watercress, or peppergrass to add the needed touch of attract- iveness. Summer is the true salad season, and athough the diet should not be made up entirely of cold foods even in hottest weather, the salad has a very definite place in the summer menu. Any of the following salads may be served as the main course for lunch or supper, and with an ap- petizer and, light dessert, will make a satisfying, enjoyable meal. JELLIED TOMATO CHEESE SALAD 2 tablespoons granulated gelatine ?/ cup cold water 1 cup tomato juice 114 cups cream or cottage cheese 1 cup salad dressing 1 cup chopped celery se cup chopped green pepper 1 tablespoon minced onion Salt and pepper to season.

CARE OF CHILDREN A HEALTH E s Rvlc E OF YHE CAN A OIANDIC E M AL ASSOCIATION AND (LIFE 'INSURANCE COMPANIES /N CANADA HOLIDAY PRECAUTIONS The annual summer -holiday is de- signed to -improve the health of you and your children. Care should be taken that the proper benefit of this holiday pis gain- ed' and that its benefit is not im- paired by accident or preventable disease. The following precautions are eminently worth, while, 1. Be sure that the water supply is safe. If you are not satisfied with the character of this supply, boil the water. Cool and aerate it by pouring the water from one jug to another. Also ask the Provincial Health De paetmene for information as to a method of purifying water. Some Provinces furnish a simple apparat- us for this purpose at cost. An ad- ditional precaution is the use of anti -typhoid vaccine which also is supplied by the Health Department. '2. Do not take' unnecessary risks when swimming.. Learn the simplic- ity of the Schafer method of artif- icial respiration and:teach your lads how to practice it on one another. 30 Take a smallfirst-aid kit with you. There will always be burns, bites and scratches to be dressed. 4. If you are camping out, ex- tinguish all fires before you leave camp. • 6. One of the most important pre- cautions id ,that you and. your child- ren avoid the use of raw milk. If pasteurizedmilk is not available, heat the milk in a double boiler to 145 degrees F. Maintain this temp- erature for 30 minutes. Then rap idly coal the milk to milk to 40 or 50 degrees F. and keep it at this temperature until it is used. Past- eurization kills all the disease germs in the milk. The use of milk so treated does not injure the qualities of the product. Its use may save your child from a host of milk -borne diseases. People living in cities where 3nilk is pasteurized are Iikely to take it for granted and to forget that in many areas where the significance of pasteurization is not realized much raw milk is still sold. When going on holidays always enquire as to whether milk supplied you is past- eurizer or not. For the sake of your health and your children's health insist on pasteurized milk only, Will Not Sign Highway Pact Goderich Mayor Will Not Agree to Disputed Clause "You will have to get some one: else to sign that agreement as I won't," Mayor McEvan said in coun- cil, last rs]day night a;ter -a letter .from, the provincial deparetnent of highways had been read insisting the department have control- over garages, service stations and Signs on parts of Victoria street and Brit tans road, connecting links in G6d- erich, of Highway 21. Continuing he said "By the agree- ment we are to maintain the centre 20 feet and the Government only 15 feet, yet it (the government) .de- mands all the nrivileges. It would be preferable if we kept up the street ourselves. We have beendo- ing so for 100 years and I guess we can continue to de so." The town and Government have been deadlocked :tleree yeilrs—etid still are—on the question. A month ago the town deleted the objection- able—to them—clause, ; signed the agreement and sent it to ".
