When the contestants a r e not tough he-men, but girls behav- ing for the occasion like she -cats, the difficulties are magnified a thousandfold. Director Felix Feist found that out before he had the rough-and-tumble brawl between Patrice Wymore a n d Lina Romay in "The Man Be- hind the Gun" safely in the can. Patrice, a schoolteacher in Los Angeles, and Lina, a dance -hall entertainer, both madly in love with Randolph Scott, stage a fight in which Lina tries to slash Pat. with a knife. During the first take, the girls rolled around the dusty floor of the set, struggling for possession of the weapon, something went wrong and the breathless girls had to play the scene a Second time. As if the bell for another round had just gone, they went at it again. In the struggle, Lina hurl- ed Pat right across the room so that her arm hit an iron kettle with a mighty blow. When the director yelled "Cut!" Pat sat on. the floor, rubbing her bruised arm and calling for water to wash the dust out of her mouth. The two actresses glared at each other. They said not a word — but it looked as if they were more than ready for another round, with or without the ca- meras turning! "Calm down, girls," Feist cau- tioned. "As soon as we clean you up," promised the director, with a sigh of relief, "we'll do it again, but, Lina, don't hide the knife when you roll over the next time. We want to see it." Make-up men, hairdressers and wardrobe women went mto ac- tion like seconds working over their ring opponents between rounds — and the two girls were Sahrrn a d le ii !iEiZ DoRourr wiro•°mpooX A RICH, beautiful to -look -at jellied salmon and rice mold makes the perfect dish for your late summer porch party, spur Labor Day at home, or for your canasta luncheon.

This time the knife re- mained in camera view, the girls finished with a suitable crash, and Felix called, "Print it'' But Pat and Line stood look- ing at each other,hands an hips, like a couple of gladiators. Then, "almost at the same moment, they slipped out of their part, and became themselves again "You all right,. darling?" askec t h e dishevelled Patrice Wymote. Lin a nodded, feeling for bruises. "O.K., but if we have to do it once more the Teconicolor cameras will record me as one big black and blue mark. The two ladies went oft arm in arm, chattering and laughing. The director wiped his brow. TUFA M PRCINT Here's an idea that Canada might very well borrow — and copy—from our neighbors to the immediate South. An editorial in The Farm Journal, published' in Philadelphia, tells all about it. Y: * * This November will see the start of a new, nation-wide con- tinuous effort to exterminate the filthy and destructive rat. No, rats won't be exterminated in one month, or year; but in time they can be reduced to rarity, and, if completely eradicated, all the better. No dirtier nor ` more dangerous wild beast lives than the rat, and to eliminate his kind will make this a cleaner, health- ier, 'more prosperous America. * * * Two reasons prompt this cru- sade. Warfarin, the new chem- urgic poison, makes it easily pos- sible to kill all the rats wherever it is used. Child, woman, or man can do it by following simple directions. That's one reason— the fact that the too] is now at hand. The other reason is that unless rats (and mice, which war- farin also kills) are eliminated, thousands of farmers are going to be penalized in the near future when they offer contaminated grain for sale. ' Clean-up now is urgent. a * * Thin November is the chosen time. In late fall rats move from the fields to barns and- cribs for shelter and abundant food. Farm- ers can find the few minutes necessary. Of course, November can be only the beginning. You may clean up' your farm, and later find. a new supply of rats moving in from your neighbor's. You will have to keep giving them bait. Meanwhile, organiza- tion and social pressure will be urging your neighbor to killhis own rats. Whole neighborhoods will become rat -free. * Here is a leadership oppor- tunity in every community. 4-H Clubs, F,F.A, chapters, Farm Bureau groups, Granges, Legions, women's clubs, churches — any kind of society or organization can undertake to achieve a rat - less community. Any individual who takes care of his own prem- ises can urge and help his neigh- bors to look after theirs. Even- tually no one will want to be the poor kind of neighbor who har- bors rats to spread over other people's premises. * c, * Forehandea farmers, of course, long since learned that a rat has to have a place to hide. On their farms you will find that con- crete, sheet steel and hardware cloth protect the places where rats can enter buildings. You Sand "Bugs"l-August is vacation time in (England and these people seem to be enjoying the sunshine at Brighton. However, they take some time to gaze up at the helicopter that throws a bug -like shadow over the beach "bugs" at southern England's famous resort, Why So Gium?—You'd never know it, but Herbert J. Idle, 55, just won $307,500 for winning first place in the Unicorn Press puzzle. quiz contest. The. Bureau of. Internal Revenue told Idle h'e'I1• be allowed to keep abtihT,,s $82,500 of the total, which ac= counts for his dour look. will find lumber and pipe stacked 18 inches above ground, feed sacks, corn cribs and grain .up on stilts, and no rubbish piles left for rats nurseries. Every farm should have a rat -exclusion pro- gram. It may make rat -killing unnecessary. But probably not 10% of farm buildings are rat - proof now. »* * One rat costs $2 a year for the feed he eats and destroys. He is likely to . contaminate at least, another $20 worth. Each rat in a grain storage for a year sheds. about a million hairs, and voids about 10,000 droppings and a; gallon of urine. As many as 10,- 000 0,000 lice have been found on a single rat. They carry fleas and mites. One pair or rats may raise, 50 more rats in a year. For every rat you see there are probably ten or a dozen more you don't see. * Towns and cities have plenty of rats too. The extermination war will have to reach into the streets, alleys, store -houses, and slurps. Town dumps are bad of- fenders, for they provide concen- tration centers from which rats can spread out over farms that have been cleaned up. If your farm community eradicates its rats, your town will easily be made to see that it must do as well, * * When enough people get to thinking about the costs, the filthiness, and the dangers of hav ing rats on their premises, to tol- erate the beasts will become thoroughly unpopular. When everyone learns how easy it is to destroy All their rats with warfarin, they will wonder why anyone should permit a rat to live, As this column remarked a few months ago, no self-respect- ing person will any more think of allowing rats on the place than. a housewife will • rest when she finds bedbugs in the house. • NO SALE A crusty old Arkansas fanner was approached one day by an eager young salesman who was peddling a set of books on scient- ific agriculture. The old farmer, was a difficult prospect. "What do I want them things for?" he scowled, "If you had these books, sir," the salesman pointed out, "you could farm twice as good as you do` now." "Hell's bells, son," roared the old fabler, "I don't farm half as good as I know how now?' LE fr KS Jam A.r . ew5.

Counsel for Christians Titus 2:7-8; 3:1-11 Memory Selecton: Let our peo- ple learn to apply themselves to good deeds, so as to help caseo of urgent need, and not to be un- fruitful. Titus 3:14 RSV. The letter to Titus was writ- ten by Paul during the interim between his release from his first imprisonment and his reimprison- ment. The Epistle shows that Paul had recently been with Titus in Crete and had left him there in general charge of the churches upon the island, and with authority to appoint elders in every city. Titus was of Greek parentage and was one of Paul's converts as evidenced by pts call- ing him "my true child itfter a common faith" (1:4 ASV! From Galatians and 2 Corinthians we learn that Titus had accompa- nied Paul to the council at Jeru- salem and was later sent by Paul on two missions to Corinth. Paul was certain that works wouldn't save a man. Re was certain that all men must be saved by grace alone. But Paul was also positive that wicked inen were not a part of God's Kingdom! Paul had much to say about doctrine; but he also kept insisting that the Churcn have something more than doctrine. "Adorn the doctrine of Goa in all things." It wasn't enough to he right about regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost. Paul added other words to these: "Be discreet, chaste, — sober-minded — showing thyself a pattern of good works — sound speech, that cannot be condemned — not stealing, but showing all fidelity — speak evil of no man — be no brawlers — avoid foolish ques- tions, and genealogies, and con- tentions" Many a man has been brought to Christ who knew nothing of doctrines'` lest who saw Christ in the life of someone he knew. "1 never have believed your doc- trine, but I cannot --withstand your good spirit." said an unbe- liever to his Christian neighbour. "You can seldom break a man's heart with a theological state- ment," says Lon Woodrum; "but you can break it with love out of another world." Jesus made His doctrines burn and sing with meaning when they spiked Hint to a cross, and He forgave them. When the doctrine is adorned with spiritual. living it is a lovely' thing.
