He became the possessor of what some om.e said had been born and raised beneath a cupboard. • Jack said the dog bad been chris- tened "Muok Von Mayndale," but he preferred to call him "Muck." The claim was made that it was of tigh pedigree, amt we were skeptical till told that it belonged to the Dachshund breed, Then oer question- ing ceased.

Some menthe ago Jack became the owner of a sweetheart for Muck. It is also a Dachshund of high pedigree. Not long ago she preseruted her mas- ter with "quintuplets," five female puppiee. Shortly afterwards, Jack and Muck d sappearede We learned that he had taken Muck to Toronto, to pit him against aris- tocracy in the anine realm, at the Royal Winter Fair. To our amazement he was seme dog there. Although it was the first time he was in a show ring, Muck won all the awards in his clase. He won two large silver trophies. One eras for the beet novice Dachshund; the other for the best Canadian -bred dog. He also won several special ribbons, and came third) in the open, class and in- cidettelly. the dog beating hitil was the one that had tale honor of win- ning the grand eharapionship of the whole allow. Jack feels that Muck upset the spir- ite ia the higher circles' of dogdom.

You have to choose whikt you want. We find people who like to hear sermons about the prodigal because they do not apply to Wein. If you talk of the sins of. the congt•ega- tion you are getting on thin ice. The blind, reckless efforts of the prodigal and the rigid, stoic lack of co-opera- tion even with his father on the part of the elder brother were both char- acteristics of a euperficia.l religion. "Do you think the spirit of the elder brother had anything to do with the prodigal leavieg home?" he asked. The resources or this great Canada should be used fo'r the people. Every boy and girl should have enough te nourish them. We must catch the spirit of the father: "All, that I have Is thine," he declared. Speaking to reporters on Saturday Mr. Aberhart regretted the lack of understanding the people of the east have for those of the west. "I do not believe the people of Eastern C,anada understand and fully appreciate the problems of the people of Alberta. 'It would be a great thing if there was a bet ter understand i ng bet ween the Oak and the west and it would be some- thing which would lead toward a stronger and a more united Canada." He also expressed the opinion that tbe people of Alberta were still be- hind the Social Credit Govenunent, but definitely denied he had any de- sire for the premiership of Canada. • Ministerial Assoc.
