The father, an immigrant from Bavaria who ran a brick- works, deputed his young son, Henry J,, to sell the surplus to neighbours as a sideline, taking. it round first by hand, then wheel -barrow, then'horsecart as the radish patch expanded. People had to -grind the root - a tedious job. It occurred to Henry that they might pay a little more to have it ready - ground, an easier task in bulk. A few years later he tried put- ting the dried, grated root into bottles, By 1860 the plot and business had grown so much that four women were working on it. That was the origin of the now world - famous "57 Varie• ties" firm, whose romantic story Stephen Potter expertly re, counts in "The Magic Number" Henry was an enterprising lad who believed that work brings money; He earned his first pay by picking up potatoes for neighbours at twenty-five cents a day. One day the owner of a field offered rewards for the best sack -fillers. Henry won third prize, a ten -cent piece, This humble coin started the savings with which he bought a {calf -share of his father's brick business at twenty-one - and then went on to found his great food empire. When father Heinz went in for selling ice from the frozen rivers and creeks, Henry's job was to drive wagon -loads of it eighty miles to Oil City. Re- turning empty was a waste that Annoyed him, so at Butler, for- ty miles from Pittsburg, he went to a produce merchant and said: "I have no money, but I'm driv- Ing an empty wagon through to Sharpsburg. If you will furnish :the goods to carry, I will sell them at my destination and ac- count for the proceeds."

Millions of dollars could be involvd in payment for the land (shaded area on Newsmap).

In 1869, at twenty-five he founded Heinz and Co,, at Sharpsburg, to sell bottled horse -radish,, In 1875 be branch- ed out in Pittsburg, with two new lines - pickles and celery sauce. Then oame disaster, To ensure a supply of cumin). - bars for picking he told a can- ning firm with some unplanted land, "Plant it with cucumbers and we will pay you sixty cents a bushel for' the crop, whatever it is." An above-average amount of mild, warm rain that year pro- duced a record crop. As the wagon -loads of cucumbers Pour- ed in, Heinz couldn't find room for them. They blocked the pre- mises, got under everyone's feet, Worse, he hadn't the money to pay for this g 1 u t, and went bankrupt. It was a nightmare time for Henry J, • But the next year a new com- pany, F. & 3. Heinz, was launch- ed on three thousand dollars. capital, with brother John and cousin Fred as principals, and the bankrupt Henry as mana- ger. No setback this time. The firm forged ahead, Henry was able to regain control and he renamed it the H. J. Heinz Com- pany. .It took him years to pay orf his debts, but he did it. He kept a memo book of his creditors and their claims and called it the "M.O.," meaning "moral ob- ligations." Years after his most stubborn creditor, a Mr. A., had been paid off, the man got into difficulties himself. Henry, gen- erously bought him out of trou- ble. In '86 Henry thought it Was time Europe began to hear of Heinz. With his wife, four chil- dren and sister, Mary, a bag full of samples and a few oases' of goods, he sailed for England and went straight to Fortnum & Mason's in Piccadilly, dressed in his best frock coat and a new topper. The head of Grocery Purchas- ing tasted, liked, and said, "I think, Mr. Heinz, we will take the lot" The Pittsburg bottler was in andon the way to be - c o m i n g the world's "Pickle King." In '95 he opened a Lon- don branch house, then others. He was brisk in his business dealings,, sometimes angry but a basic kindness wasn't far off. A new boy in the firm made a mistake which cost it seventy- five dollars. "Deduct five dol- lars a month from his. salary until it is paid off, he ordered. But the boy was surprised to. receive normal money next pay- day. "Didn't y o u know? Mr, Heinz has increased your salary by five dollars a month," he was told. If he had to reprimand he would begin with a little, praise. The slogan, "Heart Power Bet- ter Than Horse Power" was pasted on the wall. "Tell your mistakes," he said - and gave men a good mark for doing so. "In business, as in life; it is important to face the truth even of unpleasant facts." An employee once said, "How is it that the old man can kick the gizzard out of a man, and then, if he jumped into the river, we'd all jump after him?"'

TIIEF4RM 1'1ZONT Successful wintering of bees,: says the Apiculture Division of . the Canada Department of Agri- culture, hinges on three impor- tant factors: strength of the colo- nies, an abundance of good stores, and protection from the cold. To be strong, a colony must have a queen not older than one year which has been' laying satisfactorily during the latter part of August and September. Such colonies will have a well balanced population of young and old bees to go into winter quarters. ' * * Weak colonies should be united with colonies of medium strength early in the fall so that the bees of each can mingle and a/range their winter brood nest. At least 60 pounds of stores are required for double -storey colonies and of this amount, about 50 pounds must be in the upper hive body. In the fall, well ripened clover or buckwheat honey should be placed in the hives for the colonies. Fall honey or honeydew is unsafe for winter feed. „ * * A few • spare queens should be wintered over, and this can be done by placing a thin . divi- sion board in a standard hive body. Unless a ventilated cellar is available, it is safer to winter bees outdoors. Best temperature for bees in a cellar is about 35 degrees, and in Eastern Canada it is impossible to maintain such a temperature without refrigera- tion. * * * Bees should be moved into the cellar after the last good 'cleans- ing flight in the late fall. . For outside wintering, colonies may be packed singly, as doubles or four colonies in a row. When more than one ds`placed together there is some conservation, of heat as each colony is protected on:atleast one side by another. Ti>er'e•is also conservation of .packing material, but there is the ' disadvantage in multiple winter- ing that the bees drift from one colony to another in the early spring, leaving one or more of the colonies weak. * a * Tar paper or building paper is the most economical type of outer protection. Tar paper should be cut into the required length for one, two or four colonies well in advance. An ideal apiary site will have protection, on the north and west sides, will not be shaded in the summer or 'winter and will have good air drainage. 9 * a Drawn combs are valuable and should be protected during the winter from the ravages of mice. A good plan is to place the combs in supers and then tier the supers one above the other with an inverted hive cover be- neath the tier and one on top. There should be no open spaces left where mice can get in. * • * Queen excluders may be used instead of hive covers, To• pro- tect from wax moth,' combs should be stored in a cold place. If they are already present, fa• migate with carbon bisulphide - a highly inflammable chemical. * * * Canada Department of Agri- culture officials have arranged for meetings in all parts of the country to get advice at the grassroots level about proposed regulations under the revised Seeds Act, The sessions were scheduled' through the co-operation of provincial departments of agri- culture, The 'Seeds Act was revised at the last session of Parliament to meet recent trends and de- velopments in the production, processing and merchandising of seeds. No substantive changes in policy 'were made. Target date for bringing the new act and regulations into effect is July 1 next year. * * * Plant Produdts Division, Can- ada Department of Agriculture, sought the local hearings to learn the views of representa- tive groups and individuals on the various matters with which the regulations will dea.

He 'made the ascent despite a heavy brace on his leg. About Planting Those Bulbs It isn't time yet to worry about doing the Christmas shopping but it is time to plant pots of hyacinth and narcissus bulbs if they are to bloom in time for the festive occasion, Plant the bulbs, about three to a pot for a full bouquet, and water them thoroughly. Keep the pots away from light and in a cool place. If it is convenient they can be buried outside, in the soil near the house for pro- tection, or for apartment dwell- ers a dark cool cupboard will do just as well. In either case they will require occasional watering. About three weeks before the bloom is desired bring out the bulbs where the warmth and light will start top growth. For Christams bloom try the French Roman species of Hyacinths. Incidently, garden bulbs should be planted now too if they are to be ready to greet April showers. The exception is, of course, gladioli, begonia and dahlia which are planted in the spring. The depth of planting varies with the type of bulb. Tulips, for instance, should be planted at a depth of four inches for early varieties and six inches for late with 4 to 8 inches between each bulb. Jonquils are also planted at six inches, but they need about six inches between them to grow properly, Daffodils and lily go a little deeper in the ground - about seven inches - with six to twelve inches be- tween each bulb, The depth given is to the crown or top of the bulb. To plant, dig a hole two inches deeper than the recommended depth. Into this hole put a tea- spoon of a complete garden fer- tilizer and mix thoroughly with the next two inches of soli. On top of this, put two inches of the untreated soil that was re- moved from the hole. This pre- vents the bulb from coming in contact with the fertilizer and also brings the hole up to the proper depth. Now' plant -the bulbs and wait for the rewards which come with a beautiful spring garden. Cole Sia w, sometimes in- correctly referred to as "cold slaw," is an adaptation of the Dutch "koolsa" from "cool" for. cabbage and "sla" for salad.

'• • Memory Selection: Be thou faithful unto (loath, and I will give thee a crown of life. Reve- lation 2:10. In this lesson we have the story of the first Christian mar- tyr: Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, was one of the seven chosen to -.tare for the ministering to the needy. But Stephen was more than a wise and honest administrator. He did great wonders and mira- cles among the people. Opposi- tion arose and men were hired to charge him with blasphemy. Of course, he was no blasphemer but his preaching of Jesus as the Christ offended the unbeliev- ing Jews. Stephen was permitted to answer to the charge. They listened to his review of Hebrew history till he pointed out from the Old Testament that not even Solomon's temple could contain the God who made heaven and earth. Stephen, seeing the mounting resistance and nn"^r, then charged therm with the murder of Jesus. They were cut to the heart and cost him out of the city and stoned him. Stephen's behaviour during the stoning must have had a pro, found effect on the young man Saul who stood by the clothes of those who threw the stones. He saw Stpehen's Paco reflecting the glory of God and heard hien say, "Behold, I see the heavens open- ed, and the Son of mail standing on the right hand of God." Then as he knelt midst the falling stones he heard him pray thus for his enemies, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge," Some people are still suffer- ing for their witness for Jesus Christ. Gon Joon Kim of Korea saw his wife and father killed with clubs and he himself was left for dead. He was comforted by his little girl and the words of Paul, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or anguish, or perse- cution, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? "He went to the home of the Communist leader who had ordered the beating and prayed for him. He won a con- vert and the home became a secret meeting place for Chris- tians. In one year 180 persons became Christians and a church was built by former communists. Last year Gon Joon Kim return- ed from seminary in USA to preach Christ to the students of Korea. It takes courage to stand for Christ today. ISSUE 45 - 1959 Upsidedown to Prevent Neeafng YENTSPiLS • MOSCOW OIL PIPELINES REFINERIES OIL PORTS U.S.S.R. E. GER.
