The Seaforth News, 1949-04-07, Page 7He'd Sooner Have The City Any Time—Snowball, a white
Spitz, gets a double hug from his mistresses, eight-year-old i
twins Carolyn, left and Marilyn Rogers. Sent to a farm in
March, 1948, the dog chewed through his leash after only two
days 'of country life. Just one week short of a year later; he
ehawed up at the door of his home after a 250 -toile journey.
This time, the twins will keep Snowball.

Have 1 bean busy this fait week!
But . definitely — although the
weatherman tried his best to keep
as thinking that winter was with
ss yet. But I said, "No, you can
Lend as much snow as you like;
you can drop the temperature down
to sero; you can blow and bluster —
but I'm getting ready for spring."
So I started in to houseclean. This
was • the result of a brain -wave
which convinced me that a little
room on the south aide of the house,
' which for some time has been a
catch-all for every kind of junk
there is, would serve a far better
purpose as a little hide-out for my -
telt. If you want a better name for
-w--et it you might call it a den, an office
or a study — but I'm calling it a
bide-ou
So many of these old farm houses
Stave a little room tucked away in a
'corner that would make a splendid
Playroom for little children, or a
sewing room for mother after the
children are grown. It is nice to
have a corner you can call your own
— just so long as you remember to
have a comfortable chair for father
eo he can come in and read his
paper while you sew or knit.
Et is fun to change things around
in your home — don't you think so?
I do.'I ant always thinking up new
ideas for re -arranging the whole
house. But I never get very far
because Partner generally takes a
dim view of my proposed plans. Not
that he is against improvements —
far front it. As a Matter of fact any
worthwhile changes around here
have been the result of his careful
planning, The trouble is we don't
always agree on what are improve-
-meats. It is little things" that Part-
ner dislikes to have changed — such
as having the bedroom furniture
moved around. Men are such con-
servative creatures.' ,lust because• a'
person has been used to waking up
in the morning facing the south,
why should anyone object to facing
east or west for a change. Variety
is the spice of life,
.However, there were no objec-
tions raised to my latest move, so I
was soon at work — sorting out,
tidying up or discarding the con-
glomeration of things that the roost
contained; What I would do if I
had to live in two or three rooms I
don't know. Probably buy a chicken
pen, or something, to take care of
the overflow.
My little hide-out is only 8 feet
by 10% but by the time I had
crater -painted the ceiling and walls
end put three coats of paint on the
woodwork my enthusiasm was on
the wane. I knew I should give the
wells a second -coat, but 1 didn't.
Se 1' was not surprised when Bob
locked around and said — "Are you
going to paint the walls?"
There wan still the floor to worry
about, My first 'idea was to paint
it, but Partner was all forgetting
eeagoleum. Since that meant less
work I was happy to agree.
With the oilcloth down my tired-
ness vanished, f gat 1301) to stove
my typewriter desk; Partner td fix
a cupboard and a door, awhile I
exalted back and forth with paper:,
books and nay small filing :abincl•
rn a littlewhilemy new working
centre was complete. ,Now I have
moved in — and here I am at work '
with my typewriter. I have only one
complaint with this new arrange-
ment — it is just one more room
in which to lose my glasses! .
Now that I am all set with every-
thing in one place maybe I shall
feel more like wrestling with income
tax returns — that being one little
job which Partner very considerate-
ly leaves to me. He says that is only
fair when I don't help milk the
cows.
And so with jobs of houseclean-
ing and income tax we come t0
thoughts of spring. Ah, yes . .
spring! The croivs are flying all
oe-er the place — in fact they were
when the snow was htehes deep.
You can hand it to the crow — he's
an optimistic bird, At the barn
spring has already arrived — my
menfolk have six calvesto wrestle
with now. Of course with extra
rows to milk we are getting quite
a bit more cream. More cream but
less money. Need I say why?
Margarine . . of course. We ex-
pected that, as you know. What we
can't figure out is why butter'should
be down and milk up, It just
doesn't make sense. If farmers are
discouraged in selling cream then
there should be plenty of milk.
Probably just another of those
problems to which noe one knows
the answer,

LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
The Future of Life
John 5:25; I Cor. 15: 20-26; I)
Cor, 4: 16-5:1,
Golden Text: But now is Christ
'risen from the deadt and become
the first fruits of them that' slept, 1
Cor. 15:20.
While preparing a grave on a
point jutting into one of the numer-
ous lakes of the Ottawa valley the
workers came upon the skeleton of
an Indian who had been buried
there many years before. With the
bones were arrowheads and other
trinkets. There was mule evidence
of a belief in a future life. Such a
belief is well-nigh universal. Man
has an instinctive longing for im-
mortality.
Cicero, the great Roman orator,
'said, "Yes, oh yes! But if I err in
believing that the soul of a man is
immortal I willingly err, nor while
I- live would I have the delightful
error extorted from 'me; and if
after death I shall feel nothing, as
some philosophers think, T am not
afraid that some dead philosopher
shall laugh at me for my mistake."
The rising of testis Christ from
the dead is the most triumphant
event of all history. A spear had
been thrust into the side of his life-
less body as it hung suspended from
the cross. Blood and water gushed
forth. The body was laid in a tomb
on Friday. A large stone was
placed at the cave's mouth, sealed
and guarded by Roman soldiers. But
Sunday morning all powers, includ-
ing that of death itself gave way
before the mighty conqueror, "He
arose, Hallelujah, Christ arose."
This is the pledge that we too shall
live after death.
This life, is very brief in com-
parison with the life to come. IIow
important that we should lay up
treasure in heaven. This life is just .
the place of preparation for the
great eternity beyond. "Soto a
thought, reap a word; sow a word.
reap and act; sow an act, reap a
habit; sow a habit, reap a character;
sow a character, reap a destiny."
Let Inc sots wisely.
Not long since, American GI's
began hearing Germans greet them •
eitlt the cry, "Heil U. S. A.l" This
seemed very nice, the story goes,
until Army intelligence came up
with the news that it meant: "I-Iafl
Unser Seliger Adolfl"—Hail Our
St. Adolf?

But Mary, stood without the sepulchre weeping;
and as she wept, shestooped down and looked into
the sepulchre.
And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one
at the head, and the other at the feet, where the
body of Jesus had lain.
And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest
thou?, She ,saith unto them, Behold they have
taken away my Lord, and I know not where they
have Laid him.
And when she had said thus, she turned herself
back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that
it was Jesus,
Jesus saith unto her, Woman why weepest thou?
whom seekest thou?. She, supposing him to be the
gardener, saith unto him, Sir, they have borne Him
hence, tell me where thou bast laid him, and I will
take Him away.
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself
and saith unto him, Master.

A German inventor tlsims he
can arrange this.
He has 'made a gadget that lets
you see yourself as ff in a mirror—
but the image is the same as that
seen by someone looking at you.
In this "mirror" left is left sod

would be the right way around in-
stead of backwards,
Franz Muller, the inventor, who
lives in Bielefeld, says he has not

Nobody knows the cause of rheuma-
tism but we do know there's one
thing to ease the pain . . . it's
INaTANTINE-
And when you take INSTANTINa
the relief is prolonged because
INSTANTINE contains not one, but
three proven medical ingredients.
These three ingredients work together
to bring you not only fast relief but
more prolonged relief.
Take Iwsmma for fast headache
relief too ... or for the pains of
neuritis or neuralgia and the aches and
