Zurich Herald, 1953-03-19, Page 6"IS THERE NO MAN WE CAN TRUST ANY MORE?" "I have tried to live right, but I'm always getting hurt!" cries a young woman who feels that life has let her down. She has been jilted — not once, but twice. Today, in her despair, she la- ments, "Is there no one in this world we can trust any more?" Who can wonder at her hope- lessness? Five years ago she was to have been: married; three weeks before the day, her fiance jilted her. "For a .year I thought I couldn't bear it," she relates, "until I met a young man who was very good to vie , . . I be- gan to live again. I trusted him with all my heart, we became engaged.

D C area Lee Something tells vie that cer- tain species of cats, dogs and- house plants cannot be raised to gether — and they are the kind we seem to possess. For several years I have had a huge fern — or plant — 1 hard- ly know which to call it It has long trailing branches and.. st. sort of multiple bulbous root. This plant filled one entire win- dow in the living zoom and was so heavy I couldn't even lift. it.. It had always been hardy and healthy - and then suddenly . it wasn't. It appeared lifeless, with branches breaking off here and there. I was at a loss to, account for the change — until the day. I discovered Mitchie-White asleep, on top. of my precious fern! It was an ideal spot, with the warm sun streaming in through the window. I knew Mitchie had been playing with the trailing fronds but making a bed .of .the fern was something I hadn't even thought of as possible. Eventual- ly I had to cut off 'all the fronds and repot the fern, splitting it into four while I was at it. In the • other living room win- ddw 1 have 'an asparagus. fern. Mitchie can't sleep on top of it as the pot isn't big enough so he nibbles at the fronds .instead. Upstairs in a big south bedroom, used only when we have guests, I have a variety of house plants, which I considered comparative- ly safe — until last Sunday. Dee and Art were out and brought, a young married couple with them. June brought her English terrier with her — a nice little dog, quite friendly and well-behaved — even with Honey and Mitch. It was all over the place. Pres- ently I heard it chasing around upstairs but in a few minutes it was clown again. Next day I was up to water my plants. Such a sight as met my eyes! One cactus was lying out of its pot; another was on the floor, its fancy con- tainer broken; two of my repot- ted ferns were also lying among a debris of broken pots and earth. And various shoots were snapped off my geraniums and begonias. Worse than that, some of these plants belonged to friends who had been staying here before Christmas. They had left them in my charge until they were ready to start house- keeping again. Well, 1 thought, a dog couldn't possibly have done that much damage. And then suddenly 1 realized what had happened. Big Black Joe. had evidently been sleeping on one of the beds. When the dog ran upstairs, Joe, scared to death by a canine stranger, had made a (lying leap for the window. And that was that. I am sure that is what hap- pened because I remember see- ing Joe come through the hall when everyone had gone. And it could have been worse. Years ago, when a strange dog come in- to the house.

Which ' reminds me — I visited a house in town last week where there was a'four-year old cat that had . never been outside by itself. It had a little harness and was tak- en outside by some Member of the, family at various times dur- ing the day. This was because all its predecessors had either been. killed, stolen, poisoned ' or run away. Before leaving the subject of plants and cats ... I have two Christmas ' cacti, both of which bloomed just before Christmas. One has already bloomed again and the other is a mass of buds — cats and dogs notwithstanding. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Maybe even house plants don't know what to make of this unusual winter. It is certainly unusual all right. Two days' ago the air was lust like spring. Last night the tem- perature took a nosedive and here we are back to winter again. I have just come in from feed- ing the hens 'and found the ther- mometer registering zero. That suits me all right — I'm not ready for spring yet. Well, this is the day farm folk _ have been waiting for — the day U.S. embargo against Canadian Cattle is to be lifted. And then what?

Thomas Edison, believing that luck or chance had no part in a man's success (one of the few successful men who ever be- lieved this) once said, "I never did anything worth doing by ac- cident, nor did any of my in- ventions coarse by accident; they came by work." SOME TYPES YOU SEE THROUGH A WINDSHIELD They Refuse To Fight, But Not Through Fear It is three hundred years since George Fox had a vision at the top of Pendle Hill, which moved him to preach his message to the people of England and the American colonies, and found ' a sect that in proportion to its numbers is the most powerful in the world. For, according to statistics, there are no more than 21,000 Quakers in all Britain, and about 160,000 in the world. Yet a Quaker deputation to a country like the U.S.S.R., for instance, is far more respected than any other body would be. They do not believe in the Trinity, the Immaculate Concep- tion or the Resurrection, though in essence they practise all that is best in the Christian religion. Courage and Integrity George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, was a man of im- mense moral courage and in- tegrity. And honesty is the rock on which Quakerism is built. Be honest with yourself and those in contact with you, both in bus- iness and in home life. The Quakers are guided by an Inner Light which we call conscience. Fox believed that if you obey the dictates of your conscience in all natters, then your conscience will grow and develop along the right lines, and you cannot do wrong. If you smother your con- science, it' will ultimately wither and you will allow. yourself to do evil. It is a simple creed requiring no learning or dogma. • Quakers believe in extreme pacifism. Unlike those of other creeds they have never tried to convert by the sword, but rather to convince by sword and precept, William Penn, son of an admiral, came under the influence of Fox but continued to wear his sword, as befitted a gentleman of the time. He doubt e d, however, whether he should continue to do so and asked Fox's advice. "Wear thy sword," advised Fox in the Biblical phraseology Quakers then used, "as long as thou canst.". Some weeks later he met Penn. "Where is thy sword?" he asked with a smile. "I wore it," said the other, "as long as I could." Ultimately, Penn went to America and founded the Quaker colony of Pennsylvania, and it is noteworthy that d'u ring the seventy-five years of Quaker domination, which is now known as the Golden Age of Colonial Tranquillity, not a single Quaker was massacred by an Indian; nor was a single Indian defrauded by a Quaker. Made Enemies Quake Quakers r e f use to fight, but members of the Society of Friends, which is their legal title, were not so named because they quaked in fear. They were called Quakers because one of their op- ponents said that "Fox made his enemies quake and tremble at the word of the Lord." Since their foundatipn the Quakers have been bitterly per- secuted. Fox himself was in and out of prison like a Jack-in-the- box. He was married to Margaret Fell, widow of Judge Thomas Fell, for nearly twenty - three years, but they enjoyed less than five years together. And of the early Quakers, a tenth of their number was always in jail. Gradually, people began to realize that there was more than a germ of truth in the Quaker idea of honesty. and peace. And the Quakers grew in strength and made influential converts. Quakers believe in extreme simplicity and turn their faces against all ceremony and ritual in their houses of prayer, abolishing even musical accompaniments when they sing hymns. They also 00 41, dress severely and live so Sparrta7pn,. R a 111e that the Very. Rev. W. Inge, former Dean of St. Pau1'a, said: "The Quakers, of all Chris- tian bodies, have remained nears est to the teaching and example of Christ." - In business they are scrupulous•• ly honest, but they do not spin money. "Make all you can, eev►rs all you can, and give all you calm is the Quaker's rule. Commercial Success Men at first refused to trade. with Quakers, but their honesty became so widely known that strangers, on entering a town felt; business, would ask, "Where la there a tradesman that Is ea-. Quaker?" No other community, except perhaps the Parsees of In di sl,. have been so successful in th world of industry and commerce. Two of the banks known as the :Big Five, Lloyds and Barclay; were founded by Quakers. Quak- ers started the Sheffield steel and cutlery industries. Firm s with names that are household word. today were founded by them: B r y ant and May, the match manufacturers; Hornimans. ..hose Quaker tea is known throughout the land; Clark's of Street; Carr, Jacob, and Palmer's of Reading the biscuit people; James Reckitt,. manufacturers of starches and dyes; and George Bradshaw, e1 railway time -table fame. Most people do not realize that these firm were founded by Quakers, though they know that the great chocolate houses Of Cadbury, Fry, and Rowntree were. The fact that a business Is run by a Quaker is a guarantee ref honest dealing. And a proportions of all their profits is invariably set aside for charitable purposes..
