My tricycle, unpadloeked, was
stolen and recovered for me. A

outside a shop. and forgot all about

to the police station to confess

The Betuusville Express, pub -
/felled right in the heart of the
Niagara fruit belt, doesn't mince
matters in a recent report on fruit.
Inspcctiou. The Express says:
* a
The Fruit and Vegetable Inspec-
tion Branch of the Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture is cracking
down ou fartners'who pick and at-
tempt to ship to ntarikets produce
that is below standard.

"Sone farmers start screaming,"
'dales 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:et
government inspection of all fruit
and vegetables harvested. A similar
notion was passed by the Horti-
cultural council in Ottawa.
r: * a
The stain idea behind the notion
was to raise the standard of On-
tario fruit sold to the consumer.
Poor fruit of the past kw 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
fruit, either from United States or
British Columbia farms. The con-
sumer, it was stated at the conven-
tion, would rather pay a few cents
more for his produce and be assured
of No, 1 quality.
a. e e
Chet -rice that were seized this
week by il,e insprct'on branch,
marked as No. 1 finality, would
have made tine most tolerant shop-
per hopping niad, and certainly
would have made him or her think
twice before buying Ontario pro-
duce, stamped No, 1.
✓ * *
One basket seized. when sorted
ottt, contained 18% No. 1 cherries.
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, "and would
sooner have thrown his money away
at a race track than toss it down
the drain on trash like that."

Supervising Inspector L. C.
Sturdy seized 20 similar baskets at
the CNR freight station at 1Ves-
tern Hill. "Whetter they realize it
or not,," said Mr. Sturdy, "farmers
like that are only rutting their
own throats by allowing fruit like
that to kave their farms." He said
that there have been quite a few
similar instances this year when
below par produce has been sent
back to the farmer. "They asked
for it..and when we put the screws
on, they scream," said Alt. Sturdy.

Ile said that. there are many
farmers who are cm -operating to
the fullest in seeing that only top
quality produce is shipped. "They
realize that by doing it, that way,
the fruit industry in Ontario has
a ranch greater thence of prosper-
ing,"

Strange Things
When The Devi
It has been estimated In Great
Britain alone there are something
like Itaif a million people who walk
in their sleep, Int addition, these
somnambulists, at they are tailed,
read books, write letters, engage in
workaday activities, catch trains
and buses or eyes drive car:.
They have also robbed houses,
committed murder and occasionally
have lost their own lives while
sleepwalking.
Recent cases in medical journals
describe that of the 16 -year-old
schoolboy who used to get out of
beef, pick his way through a dark-
ened room, carefulll' avoiding all
obstacles, then travel mike by foot
and bus while still asleep.
Next morning he would be baric
in his roots, unable to remember
anything about it.
Psychiatrists discovered that six
months previously he had volun-
teered to he hypnotised 00 the
stage. The hypnotist had toll trim
that he would remain under hyp-
notic influence for six months,
after which time he trust return
to the theatre and sec the hypnot-
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, dress while
still asleep and do another five or
six hours' stint 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 rte would
switch to daytime driving.
1'Ite old habits were so strong
that his unconscious mind took
(tint back to work at nights while
Ite was still asleep.
Tried Marbles
In some cases of sleepwalking the
victim's subconscious mind seems
to attempt to remind him that he
can have no real rest until a cer-
tain worrying task is finished.
He is driven out of his comfort-
able bed into the open to mend a
brolcen drain, or into the garage
to trace an electrical fault in the
engine of his car.

The trick worked the first night,
Mit on the second her sleepwalking
spouse merely removed the eider-
down from the Bed, flung it across

In 1871) a mean accused of murder
tried to prove he was a somnambu-
list and had fired the fatal shot in
hitt sleet,.
Tire judge reiused to allow such
testimony, but a court of appeal re-
versed the guilty verdict and the
defendant was eventually freed,
Certain phases of sleepwalking
still baffle the experts. Only one
fact is certain that the sleep-
walker's body is rontrolled by his
subconscious mind.
This deep reservoir of his hopes,
fears, problems anti frustrations
takes direct control not only of the
sleepwalker's limbs and muscles
but borrows some of the faculties
of the conscious mind as well. It
uses theist ha the physical expres-
sion of actual desires.
Baffled Experts
In the more common forms of
sleepwalking, somnambulism usual-
ly occurs about two hours after re-
tiriug 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.
This is the reason why some erns-
nent authorities believe that most of
the disappearance and loss -of -
memory cases we constantly hear
about may actually involve sona-
nambulisnt.

David Becomes Ring
1 Sam. 18: 1.5, 14-16; 22: 1-2;
2 Sam. 5: 1-5.
Memory Selection -Man looketh
on the outward appearance, but the
Lord loolceth on the heart. 1 Sam-
uel 16:7.
This is the first of four lessens
directly on David. We have more
information about his extremely
important career than we have
about any other Old Testament
character, it is a thrilling story.
He was the youngest of eight
brothers and was brought in from
following the sheep to be anointed
king of Israel. When Saul desired a
musician, one of his set'vattts stug-
gested David, describing him as
one "that is cunning in playing
and a nighty valiant man and a
roan of war, and prudent in mat-
ters, and a comely person. and the
Lord is with !tint."
History records no such renlark-
able friendship between two 01511
as that between David and jona-
titatt, Ping Saui'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. Oa
Jonathan's death David lamented,
"1 ant distressed for thee my
brother Jonathan: very pleasant
hast thou been unto nae: thy love
to me was wonderful, passing the
love of women."
Forced to take refuge in the cave
of Aduligzn, 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 offence to the offensive
Saul nor gave any disturbance to
the peace of the kingdom. Their
wild natures were subdued and di-
rected.
Thank God, Jesus, the Son of
David, is also ready to receive dis-
tressed sten and women who will
choose him as their captain, and be
commanded by 'hint. They will find
a new leader, a. new service, and
a new life -new things far more
wonderful than those that attrac-
ted the four hundred to David of
