(Bob) Price has been a salesman for a quarter of a century —selling appliances air conditioners and a hast of other thugs. And his sales records show that he has been a .good .one, too, Bob, like many laymen, has been te;tchieg a Sunday School class— a large class of nnen who come from all walks of life --for that salve 25 years, As a salesman Bob has seen much of the wor'ld's ugliness and need for .spiritual uplift, and as a Sunday School teacher he has endeavored to remedy this as far as possible. But in the bark of his head he W, R. PRICE: "It hit me like a bolt of thunder , , ." PRICE'S P22ODUCT: "With God's help ... in every home." has had a feeling for a long time that there must be some concrete plan to bring men closer to God. • He got on a specific train of thought when he heard an address about the great good that can come front the efforts of onlya few men working in the right direction. Then he read a book pointing out that the pillars of civilization rest on the Ten Commandments—God's law for men. Later he read another booklet—this time an FBI publica- tion—in which J. Edgar Hoover pointed to the need of a return to these fundamental laws of God to make America a nation such as our pioneer forefathers established.. Then- it came. Bob was driving home from a busy day of selling. He passed a sign on the street—a sign that he had seen hundreds of times. It hit me like a bolt of thunder," Bob explains. "It was a sign which advised you to 'Refresh Yourself' with a soft drink." That Was It He went to work, Last September he engaged G. Edwin Shofner, coin» 'niercial artist, who worked for six weeks to produce exactly what Bob had in mind. It was a. pen etching of the Tea Commandments, with Moses and the Children of Israel gathered around Mount Sinai as God gave his law to than, This Bob had made into an 18 by 24 inch imitation parchment suit- able for framing. "That," said Bob, the salesman,' "with God's help, should be hang- ing in every schoolroom, every col- lege room, every library, every church, every business house and every home in America.", Then he went to work in_ earnest. He quit his selling• of` other things and these parchments began to ap- pear in many places in and around Memphis. But that's' only the first step of Bob's goal. From the profits from the sale, of these parchments, he wants to see the Ten Command inerts in stone or bronze in all of the parks, town squares and play- grounds of America. And that's not all. He wants a great international shrine—some- thing like the Lincoln. Memorial— erected with God's laws inscribed in stone or bronze so that people from all over the world would come to see that (America . has honored .God's last New And Useful . Too . Three -Way Protection Industrial safety goggles are of- fered with three purposes in con- struction: Frames, made of plastic and resistant to acids, alkalies and chemicals, are made with regular vents for general use and impact protection; with screened vents to guard against splashing; or no vents for protection against fumes. One-piece lenses are optically cor- rect; goggles can he worn over regular glasses. * Be Your Own Redcap A novel attachment takes the lug out of luggage; consisting of a wheel carrier, rubber - tread wheels, a strap and handle.

"There's no insecticide so effective that you can neglect garbage, manure and debris disposal." n, * This expert recommends that dairymen and other farmers launch programs early this spring with a clean-up program that eliminates breeding places, The second point in control is "know your flies." :Resistance, so far confined to the common housefly, is not universal. It is greatest in Southern areas where flies breed through most of the year. People living farther: north have not encountered resistant strains and find DDT still effective, There are no reports of blowfly immunity. Entomologists say fail- ure to control this fly is clue to failure to understand its habits. During the heat of the day it rests in the shade of trees and shrubs Where it is vulnerable, * a= Observation is necessary to de- termine possible resistance, After a spray of DDT, trait a week and tltell check the kill. If fly popula- tion still is high, try one of the other insecticides. Lindane, toxa- phene, methoxychlor, cbordane and benzene hexachloride will hill flies. A •new one, dieldrin. has given ex- cellent results and will be on the market this season. ]dies resistant to one of these may fall before another. Dairymen ar'e' limited in the uge of insecticides. For inside spraying in dairy buildings or wherever food i handled, methoxychlor is the only' chemical on the approved list.

From sC(era! centres fly -control researchers report that resistant flies 'have changed some of their habits.

Other researchers have found that when flies are resistant to one in- secticide they can quickly develop resistance to another. This may necessitate -several shifts in control measures to curb 'a strong strain. * is If y011 have some late -cut hay or a cutting spoiled by rain, a shall amount of molasses can greatly in- crease its palatibility and consump- tion by dairy cows states d writer in "County Gentleman." },xperitiients have shown one of the highest values of molasses can be realized when it is used to get cattle to eat roughage of mediocre quality and with less waste than world other- wise be the case, Fed in this way, molasses is often worth as much as corn of even 01000. . *. 0 As an example, the dairy herd of 1�'illiatn Codington shied away front a late cutting of orchard grass. He poured a quart of ordin- ary feeding molasses in a watering can, filled with hot water and sprinkled the mixture over orchard grass about 12 hours before feeding. N * 0 There was good penetration into the hay,s and its strawiness was minimized • by the hot water, while molasses increased palatability mark- edly, Almost no dust was observed as the hay was spread into the feed- ing mangers.

Titanium -- Metal of Vast Possibilities Titanium the earth's fourth most abundant structural metal, may take its place among the other tonnage metals tvithin the next five years, thinks Dr. Tulian .Glasser, research metallurgist, ' Though they element was dis- covered more than 150 years ago, it was not recognized as a workable metal until about 1910. Its attractive properties have only been known for the past few years. Titanium is lighter than iron, stronger than alu- minum, more corrosion -resistant than stainless steel, more abundant in the earth's crust than copper. It is still difficult to extract pure titan- ium from its ores economically, but smelting and refning.difficulti's will certainly be overcome. If titanium were used in frames and engine parts of commercial air- craft, larger payloads could be car tied. Because it is highly resistant to salt -water corrosion, titanium is eminently snitable for the hulls of ships, drive shafts and propellers, The melting point is more than twice as high as that of aluminum, Hence titanium or one of its alloys can be used for exhaust manifolds and other "hot .spots" that now re- quire steel.

GARDEN NOTES Spread Them Out • The season may be short in most parts of Canada but this does not prevent a succession of vegetables. The trick is to make several sow- ings of such things as beets, beans, lettuce, radish, carrots, etc. It's a good plan to sow about a third of the seed a week or so earlier than usual, then follow with a third about the normal time, then a fort- night or so later plant the rest, This will spread the Harvest out over many weeks. A still greater spread can be obtained by using early, medium and later varieties. a: 1 0 Tools One can do a lot of gardening with just a rake, a spade and a hoe. With a little more equipment, how- ever, rnuclt labor can be saved. Digging forks, cultivators, special weeders, dutch hoes, etc„ will Snake the work easier and more interest- ing. They are designed for special jobs. No matter how few or how many tools are selected it is im- portant to keep their edges sharp. An old file is excellent for this. Sharp tools will save many a back- ache and blisters. For larger gardens a small gar- den tractor that will cultivate, plow, cut the grass and do other jobs might well be considered. These are now coining on -the market free- ly. They are not expensive and are very cheaply operated. A quart of gas will keep them hustling for several hours. A wide selection is also available, * * A Cutting Garden Often a corner of the vegetable garden or some place at the back of the lawn is set aside to grow flowers especially for indoor bou- quets. Sometimes when a large sup- ply of blooms are wanted for this purpose it leaves the regular bor- ders a bit shy. Any of these flowers suitable for cutting purposes will thrive on the same sort of cultiva- tion, etc„ that the vegetables get. Certain flowers, indeed, like glad- ioli, sweet peas and others of which the foliage is not very attigctive are best grown under these condi- tions. onditions.
