Perhaps the lat- est innovation and one of the ost effective according to the Dairy Division, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, is dry skim milk. This easily available, read- ilykept milk product ensures a fresh milk supply at all times whether in the city or camping in the wilderness. As a source of essential body nutrients it has ;few equals. * * % Dry skim milk is made from fresh whole milk from which the fat has been removed. The milk is dried by a low heat process and passed in a very fine spray under extremely high pressure through heated air. On contact with the hot air it turns to a fine powder which is pleasant tast- ing and. odorless. This powder contains 35 per :cent protein, 50 per cent milk sugar, and 8 per cent mineral. Vitamins essential to good health are also present in this milk food along with a small percentage of moisture and a trace of butterfat. * ,* * Protein, one of the most im- portant body nutrient require- ments and one of the most ex- pensive, is readily available in dry skim milk at a reasonable cost to the consumer. Through this animal protein valuable amino acids are incorporated in- to the diet. These acids build and repair muscles, blood cells and tissues. * * * Considering the food value in dry skim milk it is not surpris- ing that the per capita consump- tion has doubled over the past ten years. Prior to 1950 it was used mainly in the manufacture of other foods, but since that time household use has increased from one million pounds to 8 million pounds in 1954. * * * The keeping quality of dry skim milk is one other attractive property, especially so to the housewife. This powder can be stored for several months with- out refrigeration or any further processing or preservation. If placed in a moisture -proof jar or canister and set on the kitchen shelf there should be no excuse for protein deficiency in the fam- • ily diet. DANCING DUO - Stesuko Ta- tewaki (Front) and Tsukiko Akashi, both 21, rest up after dancing practice in Tokyo. Members of a touring revue, they wowed 'em in southeast Asian countries with their Jap- anese version of the mambo. * * * All plants and certain plant products imported into Canada must be inspected and released by the Plant Protection Division Of the Canada Department of Agriculture before distribution is allowed. Every precaution must be taken to prevent the intro- duction into Canada: of plant di- seases and insect pests through importations from foreign coun- tries. Close cooperation between the Plant Protection, Plant Path- ology and Entomology Divisions is responsible for the high stan- dard of service Canada has main- tained over the years. * * Caution must be exercised at all times. For example, a ship- ment consisting of 6,500tons of peanuts arrived in Montreal re- cently which is believed to be the largest single importation of its kind, involving the equivalent of 250 car lots. The entire cargo was found to carry a medium in- festation of six species of stored products pests and fumigation was ordered at the expense of the importers. This involves treatment with methyl bromide by pest control operators under the supervision of the staff of the Plant Protection Division. 4: * * Total importations of nursery stock during the year ending March 31, 1955, were slightly lower than during the previous fiscal year, as a report indicates a decrease of about five million plants from the 110 million im- ported in 1953-54. Holland, Can- ada's main source for bulbs, was the leading exporter of nursery stock to this country for the 1953-54 fiscal year, but the U.S.A. took over the lead in the follow- ing year with a total of approx- imately 52.5 million, with Hol- land running a close second with over 50 million. Other compara- tively large exporters of nurs- ery stock to this country from a total of 42 countries are Bel- gium, France, Germany and the British Isles. A good beginning and a good finish makes a fine speech -if they are close enough together. 77,ha t,,...1911. oeat I tat..iv. mdi i:.,, -..tai nWhate John!

Workings S f Russia's Murder Machine Last Christmas Eve a single shot echoed and died away in the execution chamber of the "Inner House" in the Lubianka prison, the headquarters of the Soviet secret police. Power_ ful hoses concealed in the soundproofed walls flushed away the bloodstains on the con- crete floor. The body of the Soviet's ace spy -catcher lay slumped for- ward with a heavy calibre Mauser revolver bullet through the nape :of his head, a rubber gag known as a "pear" thrust unceremoniously in his mouth. But the final insulting touch was that Colonel General Victor Samsonovitch Abakumov was taken for his last walk in his underwear after his secret po- liceman's uniform with its fine cloth and cerise markings had been stripped off him. The arch -spy who boasted he mile away and whose notorious organization SMERSH ("Death to Spies") had slaughtered thou- sands of innocent people, had himself met a spy's end. But the machine which he built up so lovingly with his overlord Berle (shot a year earlier) is still there. Despite all reports and hopes to the con- trary, it is as vicious and deadly an instrument of secret warfare as ever. Abakumov - according to the Abwehr (German intelligence) also master -minded the biggest single spy -ring of the war, the so-called "Die Rote Kapelle" - the Red Choir, an octopus which stretched its tentacles into every branch of the German govern- ment from the Air Ministry to the Foreign Office. The headquarters of this spy net were in occupied Brussels. Its members kept in touch with Moscow and each other through powerful shortwave radio sets until the Germans began to pin- point these installations. But the sinister fact remains that despite the Gestapo's effi- ciency and the headsman's axe (nearly four hundred Red Choirists were executed) the leading spies were never caught. The Red,Choir continues to op- erate in different countries al- though its original "conductor," Abakumov is no longer with it. How do the various Soviet spy rings operating in the West con - bey their messages back to their centre? Some of the 'oldest tricks in the trade are still used. Apart from. the "licensed spying" con- ducted through the diplomatic bag, merchant seamen are use- ful carriers of information, as are trade and cultural delegates. Minute microfilms -are stuck behind postage stamps: they can also be attached behind a shall mirror and carried in a woman's handbag. Other microfilms are made soft and pliant like cloth and fitted in minute cylinders to be inserted in a tube of toothpaste or shavng cream. Medicinal pills of all sorts can be marked in a special way. The hollowed -out heels of shoes, brush handles, children's toys, antiques, and even fruit can be used as depositories. And plastic surgery operations can enable a spy to carry a silver or plati- num container embedded in a fold of flesh, New developments in elec- GLOVES CAUSE FASHION BUZZ - Black velvet hand pieces are tied to raffia elbow -length cuffs in this "beehive" style note from Paris. Bees are ornamental tufts, gloves are for evening dine -and -sip wear. tropics are also helping spies. Radio sets half the size of a box of make-up are capable of sending •messages over long dis- tances. Side by side with these "im- provements" MVD experts have developed an almost foolproof =Method of inducing innocent ;people lo_ make false self-accu- sations and confessions. There have been many theo- ries advanced on how this is done, Everything from hypno- tism, of "truth drugs" has been suggested. But niy latest information in- dicates that the Reds have per- fected a more devilish form of brain -washing than all the old- fashioned methods put together, writes David Tutaev in "An- swers." MVD surgeons have perfected a method of brain •operenon which is used benefically in some mental diseases. This technique which can be used to relieve the pressure on the brain, can also be adapted to make people into willing auto- mations without a will of their own. In fact, a magi or woman can be converted into a human "tape recorder." By constantly repeating the confession" to the victim he can be made to play it back by heart. The horror of the whole pro- • toss is that the victim appears completely "normal." He can be put •up at a public trial in the presence of foreign journalists and diplomats who will confirm his apparently healthy appear- ance. Needless to say, a .person who is "conditioned" in this planner requires a protracted treatment if he is ever to be restored to complete mental health.

Major railways took a 11% cut in operating income to $34,- 886,204 in the first three quar- ters of 1953 when an 11% ad- vance in expenses outstripped a 4% gain in revelnuee. R. Barclay War:rtiI '. 6.0 Broken Vows Jeremiah 42:1.b, 5-1, 10, 19; 43:2, 4, 7; 44:15-18, 23. Memory Selection; When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it. Ecclesiastes 5.4. The de:.:rip: cn cd Jud.:•1 was completed. Only the poor of the land were left to be vinedressers and husbandmen, It had come to pass even as Jeremiah had predicted. Jeremiah hi'nself was given his choice of going with the captives of the land or staying with the remnant. Despite the promise of good tre: 1 ,n Babylon he chose to stay. After the murder of the gov- ernor, Gedaliah, and the over. throw of Ishmael, ins assassin- ator, the people under. Johanan came to Jeremiah fee advice. They asked him to pray for them that they might knew the way wherein they should walk. They pledged to do as he said. Aften 10 days 3 ernmi^.h g.:, c' , <e word of the Lord His blessing would be upon then, if they would remain in the land Cie warned against going to Egypt. But the people in spite of their pledge said, "Thou .,peakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, `Go not into Egypt to sojourn there'" They blamed Jeremiah's scribe, Bar- uch, for setting .1e h against them. They went to Egypt and took Jeremiah with them. The people of Judah soon tell in with the ways of the Egyp- tians. They turned from the Lord their God and became idol wor- shippers. They even blamed their ill -fortune on the fact that they as a nation for a long time had ceased to burn incense to the queen of heaven. How blind can people get? Jeremiah continued his preach- • ing. It would appear thea Jere- miah had been a faileee. Put he won his victory His influ- ence lived on, and after death his writings became one of the rich treasures of the Hebrew peo- ple. Among the greatest of the prophets he was listed for all time. The greatest failure we should fear is failure to be faithful. The men who have accomplished most in history had to wait for his- tory to record their success. There is no greater eample ox victory after death than that of our Lord. Mean Thieves Someone stole a London man's pay packet from his jack- et which he left on the ground by a pond while he went to the rescue of a small dog which was in danger of drowning. It was a contemptibly glean theft, but fortunately there was a happy sequel. Sympathizers who heard about the theft were so incensed that they collected $100 and sent it to the rescuer. The man very generously de- cided to spend the money on dog licences for people who could not afford them. Just how mean can some thieves be? We remember the story of an attractive but very poor young woman who for many months saved every pen- ny she could and then she bought her pathetically inade- quate trousseau. On the eve of her wedding to a $15 -a -week labourer, a thief climbed through the open win- dow of her bedroom and got away with the entire trousseau and her cheap but pretty wed- ding gown. Finding they were unsale- able, he glade a bonfire of his loot, the charred remnants ot which were later found .by the police on a vacant site not fear from the woman's house. She had to be married in her every- day dress. Upsidedown to Preveni Peeking EllgEWL43 C'OIDEI(3 111© CHANNEI.
