Now Eugene Rachlis, in his book they came to kill reveals in detail for the first tine how po- tentially deadly a menace to Canada and the United States this group might have pr,ven but for a bizarre turn of events. The author describes the land- ings of two separate greuus of saboteurs In • June, 1942, from. German U-boats, One of these groups landed near Amagansett on the shore of Long Island and the other at Ponte Vedra just south of Jacksonville, Florida. In Florida the saboteurs were stile to bury their cache of explosives and detonators and to make their way north undetected, Things might have gone as smoothly for the group on Long Island but for a chance encoun- ter with a young coastguardman, The Germans' inept handling of this threat to their security was to prove a fatal mistake, Alerted by the coastguardman's report, Naval Intelligence . and the FBI swung into action, Discovery of the buried explosives and the discarded clothing revealed to the American authorities that several men were at large, Th ' author dramatically re- traces the movements of the va- rious members of the group from the time of their landings to their Apprehension by FBI agents, Ob- viously most of this information was obtained from the testimony of the men themselves although from the first alerting the FBI had their known former contacts under surveillance, The deliberate betrayal of the group by two of their number points to one of the recognized weak links in the Nazi espionage system. Not infrequently, agents werechosen with little or no regard for their morals or their loyalty to each other in the event of capture. From the evidence presented It would appear that the eight men were an all -assort- ed group, lacking confidence, in their leader and victims in some measure of the feud between the Abwehr and the Gestapo. Several chapters are devoted to the secret military trial of? , saboteurs and reveal in consi(j'eg4;; able detail the proceedings -'t i'e"'. transcript of which had remain- ed a classified government doc- ument until 1960. With the memory of the Black Tom and Kingsland disasters and scores of other acts of enemy sabotage during World War I, United States security forces even prior to- Peart Harbor had considered the possibility of sub- marines landing enemy agents. Hundreds of miles of coastline offered countless stretches of beach where men in considerable numbers could be put ashore. Fortunately for the United States, in the years between the two wars, the FBI had become a very potent arm of the Justice Department, As the author points out, it was the effective roundup of Nazi agents and spies early in 1941 by tee FBI, thereby depriv- ing the Germans of their sources of information, which precipi- tated their decision to put into effect Operation Pastorius. That it was foredoomed to failure be- comes increasingly clear in the light of some of the facts dis- closed. The book constitutes a major contribution to public knowledge of what was probably' the war's gree `est threat to Arn- erica's internal security.

Farmers are therefore urged to keep all 1962 grading certificates issued to them by slaughtering establishments and to keep them until the end of 1962 in case they are needed for deficiency payment purposes. Of course any hog premium war- rants should be detached from the hog grading certificate and cashed by producers. * * * Producers would be well advised to in ark et all hogs " throughout the year under the name appearing on their hog registration certificate, Those who have not yet reg- istered as hog producers should apply to the Data Processing Service, Canada Department of, Agriculture. Ottawa. There were no deficiency pay- ments made on hogs in 1960 and it would appear that none will be necessary in 1961 as the cumula- tive national average selling price for hogs is about $27.50 per cwt., well above the national support price level of $22,65 per cwt. * *. A warning to farmers not to spray dairy cattle with insecti- cides that may contaminate the milk has been issued by the Canada Department of Agricul- tire. The Food and Drugs Act does. not allow pesticide residues in any amount in • milk or milk products, explains R, li. Painter, CDA -scientist at the Lethbridge, Alberta, research station. * * * DDT, BHC, lindane, chlordane, aldrin, di el dr i n, toxaphene, heptachlor, and related com- pounds should not be used as sprays on dairy cattle or in barns or milk houses. Only pesticides that are label e d for use on animals or in barns should be used, The labels give directions for use of the products on cattle or in buildings. ISSUE 2 - 1962 CRO SSWORD ORD 7.

PIM Answer Answer elsewhere on this page A, guide for the safe use of in- secticides for a deiry herd is as. follows: -For cattle sprays; pyrethrins mixed with either piperonyl butoxide or MGIC 264. Some suitable s p r a y s alae contain repellents, * * --'For spraying the walls and ceilings of b a r n s: Diazinon, ronnel, and malathion are effec- tive inmost areas, If these do not give adequate control,use one of the recommended baits. In milk houses, use only the sprays recommended for use on cattle and protect the utensils, cans, tanks, etc„ from the spray material. $ ,,, w. -Forsprays against horn flies: pyrethrins mixed either with piperonyl butoxide or 1VIGIC 264, or use ',ethane or Thanite, If preferred, sprinkle the backs and necks of animals every three weeks with methoxychlor wet- table powder or weekly with malathion dust. Animals should not be dusted with malathion within five hours before milking. For cattle grubs, rotenone is ecommended, * * For pastures and forage crops: use only recommended insecticides, Also observe the rates and times, number of app1- loations recommended. Do not allow spray drift to contaminate pastures or forage crops that are near orchards or canning crops, For the recommened practices consult your • local agricultural authorities. -Do not feed pea vines, apple pomace, corn wastes, sugar beet tops, or other by-products unless, containyou can he sure not t hat h residues tlhatwiltopan into milk, * ` k Canadian beef producers can, jack up their profits through the use of hormone implants. Thisisthe conclusion of Dr, IS, E. Beacom, a Canada Department of Agriculture scientist, Ile found that hormone implants increased gains of steers on good pasture at the IVIelfort, Saskatchewan, experimental farm, by an aver- age of 45 pounds. And, points out Dr, Beacom, only a couple of pounds of extra gain are required to pay for the cost of the implant. * 0 w Two pellets, each containing 12 milligrams of diethylstil - bestroi,were implanted into the ear tissue of 600 - pound steer calves at the start of the pasture season. Cost was. about 25 cents per head. During the 1960 pasture season of 117 days, 16 implanted steers out -gained their untreated part- ners by an average of 45 pounds. Though all treated steers outgain- ed their u n t r ea te d partners, differences ranged from 3 to 97 pounds in favour of the . treated member of the pair. The implant- ed steers averaged 301 pounds of gain on pasture. * * * In 1961, a dry year, gains of implanted steers on an old pas- ture averaged only 6112 pounds extra per head over a 45 -day pas- ture period. On a newer stand the implanted steers gained 24112 pounds more than did the un- treated ones during a 74 - day grazing period. NuAYsc11oo1 IESSON By Rev. E. B. Warren, B.A., B.D. GOB 18 SPIRIT Exodus 20:4-52 5a; John 4:7, 9, 10; 19-23 The ten commandments are easy to understand. The second is, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that 1s in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for, I the Lord thy God am a jealous God." Isaiah, in the 40th chapter of his Prophecy, describes the making of a graven image, Iiow foolish for man to worship that which maxi has made. Jesus teaches us spiritual wor- ship, Our memory selection aro words which He spoke: "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must,' worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24, This came in reply, to the Samaritan woman's statement, "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye• say, that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to wor- ship." Jesus' answer shows that the important thing about wor- ship is not where we worship but how we,,worship. In 'the ' great church building boom since the war, there have been many innovations in the architectural designs of churches. And why not? Neither the parti- cular hill or the mode of the betiding can in themselves either induce or binder' spiritual wor- ship. We build more convenient homes than our grandparents did. We should improve on our churches, too. One minister after signing the contract for nearly a quarter of a or new church acknowledgedllioe dollars f afeel- ing of unhappiness that so mucky was being spent on a luxurious building when so much of the world is hungry, In our building of a new church last summer we had to makemany important' decisions, We decided that we wanted a church that would b4 beautfiul in its simplicity. When choosing light fixtures we con- sidered that the purpose of lights in a church is to give light and not just ornaments to be ad- mired, We like our lights. We had to borrow money to finish the furnishings but our people advanced it from their savings as loans at 5%. We go to church not to wonder at the vast amount of money lavished on it, but to wor- ship God in spirit and in truth. Let us keep the second com- mandment.
