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 showed up at the door of his home after a 250 -mile journey. This time, the twins will keep Snowball. • HRONICLES 1NGERPARM ewort Cl©ttn.e P. C tasks Have 1 been busy this last week! Etat definitely — although the weatherman tried his best to keep asst thinking that winter was with 'eta yet. But 1 said, "No, you can stand as much snow as you like; :you can drop the temperature down •ao zero; you can blow and bluster— at 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 mom on thensouth side of the house, wvhich for some time has been a eateh-all for every kind of junk *ere is, would serve a far better purpose as a little hide-out for my- eelf. If you want a better name for It you might call it a den, an office or a study — but I'm calling it a bide -outs So many of these old farm houses leave 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 Grave a comfortable chair for father So he can come in and read his gaper while you sew or knit. It is fun to change things around in your home — don't you think so? I do. I am always thinking up new ideas for re -arranging the whole ;house. But I never get very far 'because Partner generally takes a slim view of my proposed plans. Not that he is against improvements — far from 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- ments. It is little things that Part - ter dislikes to have changed — such as having the bedroom furniture anoved around. Men are such con- servative creatures. Just 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 lit 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 room contained. What I would do if 1 had to live in two or three rooms I don't know. Probably buy a chicken lien, or something, to take care of the overflow. )\4y little )tide -out is only 8 feet t,y I0% but by the time T. had water -painted the ceiling and walls wed put three coats of paint on the evondworlc my enthusiasts was on - tile wane. I knew I should give the walk a second coat, but 1. didn't. So T was not surprised when Bob looked around and said ---• "Are you teeing to paiut the walls?" There was still the floor to worry about. lefy first idea was to paint 14, but Partner was alt for getting s;eing01cm. Since that meant less work I. was happy to agree. With the oilcloth down my tircct- rrews vanished. 1 got Bob to move' wry typewriter desk; Partner to fisc sa cupboard turd a door, while I trailed back and forth with paper:•, bogie and n;y +fall fil'nt„ Par B. little ,chile my new ttorleing 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 rrangestent — 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 ,ra>y eeaoraeease 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 to thoughts of spring. A.h, yes . . . epringl The crows are flying all aver the place — in fact they were when the snow was incites deep, You can hand it to the crow — he's an optimistic bird. At the barn spring has already arrived — my menfolk have six calves to wrestle with now. Of course with extra. cows to milk we are getting quite a bit more creamy 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.

R. Barclay Warren The Future of Life 3ohn 5:25; 1 Cor. 15: 20-26; I) Cor. 4: 16-5:1, Golden Text: But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that dept. 1 Cor. 15:20. While preparing a grave on e 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 mute evidence of a belief in a future life. Such a belief is well-nigh universal. Ilan has an instinctive longing, for lin- 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 front me; and if after death 1 shall feel nothing, as some philosophers think, I ant not afraid that some dead philosopher shall langh at me for my mistake." The rising of Jesus 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 gashed forth. The body was laid in a tomb on Friday. A large stone was placed at the cave's mouth, sealed and guarded. by Rosman 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 the too shall live after death. This life is very brief in com- parison with the life to come. How important that we should lay up treasure in heaven. Thielife 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 us sow wisely. Not long ,since, American GI's ,began hearing, Germans greet them with the cry, "Heil U. S. A.!"

He is Risen: But Mary stood without the sepulchre weeping;, and as she wept, she stooped 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 1 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 hast laid hien, and 1 will take Him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself and saith unto him, Master. HIDDEN ANIMALS In each of the sentences below. .you will find the hidden name of some animal. Example; Do not criticiZE BRAvado too readily.

"Ah," the Englishman replied, "but no doubt they're all party lines." AS OTHERS SEE YOU Would you like to see yourself as others see you? A German inventor claims he can arrange this. He has made a gadget that lets you see yourself as if in a mirror— but the image is the same as that seen by someone looking at you. In this "mirror" left is left and right is right, not the reverse as in an ordinary looking glass. If you held up printed words to ft they would be the right way around In- stead of backwards. Franz Muller, the inventor, who lives in Bielefeld, says he has not yet found a name for his gadget.
