Congregation Hears Missionary Speak On Korean Conditions The Women's Misslonary Society were in charge of the Sunday evening Lions To Bhtz Town service in the Blyth United Church, it On Behalf Of Red Cross, being their Easter Thank -Offering Meeting: The very stormy weather was ac- countnble for the rather small congr-- gation. Mrs, W. McVittie, president ,of the W.M.S., was in charge of the meeting. Members of the Frlendship Clrcle led In the service of song and contributed Iwo special numbers. A duet, "In the garden," was sung Ly Mrs, H. Campbell and Mrs. A. W. Wat- son, A quartette, comprising, Mrs. H. Campbell, Mrs. Bert Gray, Mrs, A. W. Watson and Miss Clare McGowan, sang, Mrs. J. Mel)ougall, presided at the or- gan. The ushers were, Mrs, G. Hodgins, incl Mrs. D. Howes, 'fhe congregation listened with deep interest as Miss Annetta Rose, a mis- sionary on furlough from Seoul, Koren, told of her work as a teacher in Korea and conditions there. Miss Rose slated, "When we speak of the Korean war it is not quite correct, but rather it was a war in Korea. It was a Unitcd Nations war between cicmocracy ad communism." Miss Rose continued, "If I were ask- ed If all Koreans in North Korea were communists, I would reply, "If you had to have a ration card to get food, and in order to get a ration card, you hnd to be a communist or profess to be a sympathizer, what would you do? 'Up to the end of 1948, everyone who possibly could' do so, escaped to South Korea which is below the 38th paral- lel. By June, 1050, the communists who had made several vain attempts, finally broke through and waged war and de- struction in South Korea, Seoul is on- ly 25 miles from the 381h parallel." - Miss Rose gave a ivld description of the confusion and dread of that day. How they sat beside their rndio all night awaiting promised_ instructions and at three o'cock a.m., orders came far all women with children to be cv- neualed and at seven a.m. all women were to leave at once. Miss Rose had gone to Seoul in 1949, taking with her a 5 -year supply of clothing, bedding and cooking utensils, but left that morning with only two suit cases, all any of them were allowed to takQ. They embarked for Japan on a Norwegian freighter with normal accommodation for twelve passengers, but there were several hundred of thein on board. Bad weather compelled thein to remain in tlhe hold for three days and two nights. They slept on fertilizer bags. When they were allowed to return to Seoul, two years later, they found - 80 percent of the city In ruins and thelr former house completely ransacked. Miss Rose further stnted, "There are 400,000 orphans in South Koren, and' only one in eight enn be taken care of in orphanages. There is a terrlble need in Korea for quills, clothing and food, One quilt often has to do service for five people living in n hole in a hill- side with sacks flapping over the door - day to keep out the bitter cold, for the lutitude in Korea is the same as Now York, but unlike our churches, their churches are filled to capacity for ev- ery service with from 2000,to 2,500 crowded together, sitting on the floor, and more outside waiting for the next service. Miss Rose said, "If you ask n Kor- ean, if he is going to chuh he will look at you much surprised and say 'O( course, I'm a Christian. It is only peo')le who are not Christian that do not go to church." In closing, Miss Rose said; "The al- location 'set by the Dominion Board of tlne W.M.S. is something to be proud of, not to complain about. God has been very good to the people of Canada and we cnnnot deny it, He has given us so much, hoping we will be faithful stewards and render and true account of our stewardship of thne, talents and possessions, for in the words of Christ, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of these, ye have done it unto mc'." Following the service, Miss Clare McGowan entertained at her hone, honoring Miss Rose and Mrs. (Dr.) Grierson, of Toronto, who accompnn- led •Miss Rose; Miss Rose showed many slides cf her work, and conditions ,hh Korea, at Miss McGowan's," She is very familior with the great need in Koren, having been a missionary teacher there for thirty five years. She is. presently at tending the United Church training school in Toronto and following the Easter exams, her plans are for ti ntonths'Jecture tour, then in May and June she will visit her home in Nova Scotia before sniling July 1st to take up her work again in Koreo, Next Moeda ' evening, Aril J g, p 4th, members of the Blyth Lions Club will canvass the town on behalf of the cur- rent Red Cross Drive for funds. The canvass will be made between tine hours of 6 and 8 p,m., wain two club members being allotted certain territory, so that the job can be done quickly and efficiently.

Correction In last week's issue of Blyth Stand- ard, Councillor L. Scrimgeour slated that the $40.00 received b'y him, was yor nil members of council nttending Good Roads Convention, The above n - mount was divided between Mr. Scrim gcour and G. Sloan, and was for trav- elling and convention expenses. Reeve Morritt was a County delegate this year and paid by County.

A Satirical Obituary (Published by Rcquest) Mrs. Prayermeeting died recency nt the First Neglected Church on Worldly Avenue. Born ninny yenrs ngo in the midst of grent revivals, she was it strong henithy child, fed on testimony praise and heart holiness.' Quickly she grew into world-wide prominence 'and became one of the most influentin] members of the famous church family For the past several years Mrs Prayermeeting has been in failing health gradunlly wasting away until rendered helpless by stiffness of knees, coldnesr of heart, innctivity, weakness of pat,. pose and �vi11 power. She has suffer• ed splritual anemia, rheumatism, fatty degeneration of the heart, general' par• nlysis, loss of weight, dizziness, nne weakness. She was but a shadow o! her former happy self. Modern surgeons and liberal phy::i• clans, including Dr. Works, Dr. Joinery and Dr, High Brow, disagreed as to the cnuse of her fatal illness. These dpc. tors administered large doses of organ. ization, socials, contests, dnnces, bridge parties, drives, athletics, suppers, binge games, and finally tried rellgious edu• cation; but to no avail. A post-mortem showed deficiency o! spiritual food, lack of prayer, fasting faith, heartfelt religion, and nop-support as contributing causes for bier death. Only a few were present at her lass rites. There were no flowers. Her favorite hymns, "Amazing Grace" and "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood" were not sung. High soprano, Mis: Ima Modern sang "Beautlful Isle of Somewhere," but none had any idea where this fancied island mtght be Pastor Fornnnlity delivered the funera' oration. The body now rests in the beautiful cemetery of Bygone Glories awaiting the summons front above. Well, the obituary of Sister Prayex nieeting is interesting' and a bit amus• Ing, but the implications are all too true, , I ani not it pesslmist but it seems tc me that the barometer of any church Is its prnyer mooting. The world' needs an awakening. The church needs' e revival.

J work, and make more than he does, but he could earn several times as .much if he had made up his mind to it. The trouble is, my husband in- sists on working on commission. Some weeks he makes nothing; others, up to $100, but his yearly average is about $40. I have fig- ured it all out. He refuses to ad- mit he could make more on a salary; he says a salaried man never gets ahead. My argument is that any ambitious man could manage to be worth more than his present income.

Cup, an and alf the ice, None more diverting and fanelful, perhaps, than the series of 1916, whlch' was fought between tho champions of two leagues who were warring ench other to the bitter eull, The start of the series this week recalls same of these happenings, Those were the days of the two major'leagues, The Pat- riek brothers, Lester and Frank, w perhaps the most daring promotional venture iniCanadian sports history, had deserted the east, in which they had won high acclaim as players, and invaded the Pacific Coast, to found a new professiona9 league. of rnajar proportions, They built Canada's first artificial icc rinks, three of them, and introduced hockey where it never had been played before, The shadows of a major war wero closing over the world in early 1914, as the Victorias, champions of the Pacific Coast, came east and were r•ebulTed in their Stanley Cup hunt by a Toronto club that included "Happy" llolines, Frank . Foyston and the late Jack Walker, The world was at war the next year, and war between the two big hockey leagues was starting• to cloud the sports skies, The West Coasters purloined Tommy Smith of Quebec, who had led the eastern scorers two successive years, Under pressure, they returned him, but the peace was an uneasy one. And when the 1915-16 season started, the eastern powers suddenly realized their stockades had been invaded. For, as Seattle lined up for its opening game, they had in goal "Hap- py" Holmes, Ken Carpenter, Foyston and Walker of the former champion Torontos, The fight was, on. The eastern Ieagud had agreed to sub- ject itself to draft by the young, nawerful western body. But when pretty nearly an entire team .was filched by the darilrg-• raiders, the east rebelled, I;ut the dispute stili prevailed In the sprhrg of 1916. Even then, the magnates of each league were by no means ready to bury the hatchet: but nelther were they Inclined to pass up the spoils of a Cup series, So, during a brief truce, the Stanley Cup series was p.ayecl in�Montreal, Canadiens de- feated the Portlancl Rosebuds, Then the League resumed their warfnre, though It was settled soon after by a peace agree.. ment, (This concludes the two -article series about the Stanley Cup, Next week in this column, Elmer Ferguson will examine some of Canada's 'problems in the 1956 Olympic games,) Your commonts and suggesflons for Phis column will bo welcomed by Elmer FerpuBon, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge SI„ Toronto, Ca1vet DISTILL ERS. LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO 1ll1FAN FRONT Straight, Eight, Marketer, Na- tional Mincu and Windermoor Wonder are names of cucumber varieties which will be found along with many others ip the 1955. seed catalogues. Cucum- bers may be divided into pickl- ing and slicing varieties, This last group includes the varieties more widely known to the gen- eral public, since they are the ones used for the home garden, Names such as Straight -Eight, A and,C, Delcrow, Windermoor Wonder or Longfellow are fa- niillar to many of us, but other names are new or relatively so. * * * Burpee Hybrid, Hybrid D, Marketer and Marketer Long, are recommended varieties which are early and give a good yield of attractive green fruits. Other -varieties such as Niagara, Santee and Colonial are much too late for our 'climate, except possibly in the Niagara• penip- aula. Supercrop Hybrid, Hybrid C, Sensation Hybrid and Sunny - brook had no value over varie- ties such as Marketer or Bur - pee Hybrid when tested at the Division 'of Horticulture, Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, * * * Some varieties have been de- veloped with tender skin and black spines. They are referred to as the pickling varieties and are used by the Food Processing Industry for making gerkins and other types of pickled cu- cumbers; Old standard varieties are still nvailable and are pre- - !erred by many, The q are Paris PIckling, N a t ion a 1 Pickling, Heinz Pickling and Mincu. * * * The newer varieties have the advantage of being resistant to some troublesome diseases such as cucumber mosaic virus or cucumber scab, Hicrop Hybrid developel by the Ontario Agri- cultural College is resistant to cucumber mosaic virus and so are Ohio MR -17 and Ohio MR - 25. Wisconsin SMR -9 and Wis- consin SMR -12 are resistant to scab and to cucumber mosaic virus, Some of these will be available in the spring of 1955; others may be in short supply for another year. * *- * Flowering plants which are usually classed as annuals, are those which produce their best bloom in the year in which the seeds are sown. Annuals may be classed as hardy.' as half-hardy.

Demonstrating them are Kenneth McKee, 6, and Jill Montinl, 5, . PLAIN HORSE SENSE.. Uy F. (tU)t) VON PILLS The marketing of farm prod- ucts is primarily the responsi- bility of farmers. As the indi- vidual farmer has practically no bargaining power when deal- ing wth the big corporations which buy most of his products, farmers must band together for collective bargaining and coop- erative marketing of their prod- ucts, Although this principle has quite generally been recognized, farmers have not been given the Opportunity to put it into opera• tion. POWER, TOO NARROW The Ontario Farm Products Act provides for a Farm Prod- ucts Marketing Board, appoint- ed by the government, tivith mar- keting schemes for various com- modities administered by local boards, subject to the approval Oi the producers concerned. The powers conferred on the Board under the present Act are narrow. The Provincial Board has power to arbitrate disputes, investigate costs and marketing methods, establish price nego- tiating agencies, set minimum prices, register producers, 11. cense buyers and processors, and may delegate all or any of these powers to a local board, In practice, however, price fixing powers are never dele- gated to a local board or even used by the Provincial Board, A11 the schemes under the Act (about 24) provide for negoti- ation of minimum prices be- tween producers and buyers or processors. If they fail to reach an agreement, they may ask the Provincial Board of arbitra- tion, This process is slow and cum- bersome, especially if processors deliberately delay it. It has hap- pened that before an arbitra- tion board brought down an award, the crop had been har- vested and sold by producers for 'whatever price they could get.

The Nizam's jewellery is worth at least $25,000,000, He never travels outside India, He goes for a daily drive with his wives, guards and retainers, rarely goes to the cinema and does not possess a radio set. He is often called the world's richest man, Much of his time is spent writing poetry. He usually wears peasant clothes and al- ways eats sparingly. Yet he pos- sesses a collection of gold which includes a table service for 150 people, Since his state, occupying an area of 83,000 square miles, was taken over by the Indian Gov- ernment, the Nizam's powers have been much reduced, but he remains today an important figure and so wealthy that he is reputed to use a large diamond 98 a paper -weight on his desk.

Some of the smallest 'animals are extrernely vicious and practically impos- sible to tame, while large ani- mals are often quite docile. For sheer savagery, baboons take some beating, although they're only the size of a fairly large dog. Capturing them alive alive is a risky business, often more dangerous than catching a rhinoceros of a lion, The efficiency of baboons' col' lective s e c u r i t y organization might we]i be -the envy of United Nations. They are very socially - minded animals, going about in troops sometimes numberfng several hundred, The, old males rule .the troops with Victorian sederity, monopolizing all the females` and administering cor- poral punlshment to the younger members at the slightest sug- gestion of misbehavloui' .or dis- obedience, These old males are brave, too, and are quick to rally round any member of the troop in danger, They have been known to beat- otl even the formidable leopard, sometimes sustaining extensive Injuries without retreating. Professional hunters whose job Is to catch animals alive for zoos have had many uncomfort able and dangerous experiences - trapping these savage but loyal members of the money tribe. Before a trap can be set the troop must be carefully watch- ed and its drinking pools dis covered, Then all except one are barred wlth thorn bushes,' To attract the baboons to the remaining pool, all kinds of favourite foods are scattered around, After a few days .a bas- ket -work cage made of saplinga is placed in position and baited, a long cord being attached to the open door. Soon a troop ap- proaches to drink, and in go some of the members, A pull On the cord, and the door closes with a bang, For a moment the captives sit petrlfled with terror, then pan- demonlum breaks eut. Unholy screams from .within - are -an+ swered with equally blood-curd- lIng yells. from without, as the rest of the troop attack the trap to release their comrades, For the hunters this Is the crisls, In . a short time the trap will be demolished, The Would-be res= f suers must be beaten off at once. Sometimes this can be done suc- cessfully, But often tho troop will attack and a battle ensues before tL hunters are left with their captives, It was on such an occasion as this that a party of hunters came near to losing their lives. The trap had been set, perhaps rather recklessly, in the territory of a huge troop of baboons esti- mated to be 3,000 strong. No sooner had the door been closed on -a number of captives than the rest of the troop attacked, To the hunters it must have seemed like a nightmare as the savage hordes with bared teeth and erect manes, and uttering terrible screams, rushed upon them, Despite their firearms and cudgels, their position was crl- tical, though somehow they managed to get away, - Then, quite suddenly, the at- tackers transferred their atten- tion to the trap, With concentra- ted fury they flung themselves on it, reduced it, to a complete wreck, and departed with their released fellows. Even when the would-be res- cuers are beaten off, there still remains the highly dangerous task of roping the captives ,and removing them one by one to separate travelling cages ready for their''journey overseas, It one should break out, woe be- tide the unfortunate person who meets it. Baboons seem to have an un- canny immunity to poisons. On one occasion a captive baboon escaped from its cage in the hold of a vessel bringing it over from Africa, For three days it re- malned at large, then the hunter In Charge and an assistant. were lowered into the hold to attempt to catch it with nets, As they chased it around the hunter stumbled and fell, - In a moment the savage beast was on him, and his legs and hands'were badly mutilated be- fore it could be beaten off. Both men were eventually rescued,. Poisioning was then suggested as • the safest .way of avolding fur' ther trouble, and a half-pint of whisky contalning enough opium to kill.ten men was lowered in- to the hold, The baboon promptly drained the lot -= and showed not the slightest symptoms of distress, Thoughts On Books !3y Fdm o us Writers .

P. Canada won the World Cham- pionship in Hockey Canada against Russia , , , Canada - five to nothing! What headlines .. , what a victory! Even peo- ple not usually interested in sports will be delighted with the result of that hockey match. We needed a little good news like that to boost our morale after all the dire predictions about the effect of too much `-atomic activity. And then the unpleasant weather we have been having just lately, Last week we had everything - wind, snow, rain, sleet, fog and - a thunderstorm, But then it's March; we should expect almost any kind of weather -- and the • chances are we won't be disap- pointed! Last year we had much the same variety around this time. Actually we ought to real- ise how lucky we are; Think of the floods in Australia and the snowstorms in the British Isles. What have we to grumble about? Nothing really - but of course we grumble just the same, just as naturally as the sparks fly upward, Anyway, the sun Is shining this morning . "enjoy the pleasant smiling ' hour." Let's, do just that. Why not, when `Canada won the Hockey Championship? We had our own worries last week - sick dogs. Honey has practically rec9vered but 1 am 'afraid poor old Tip is finished. We tried to bring her strength with brandy and raw eggs but her aging heart is giving out. In all our years of farming she will be the first dog to die a natural' death. The others were either shot by accident or intent, or run over by cars, except in one or two cases when we had the 'vet' destroy the poor things for viciousness or some other bad habit. Apparently there is a terrific lot of . sickness among dogs just now. In some cases it is a virus infection; in others, as with Tippy and-; .Honey, it is some kind oUlu, .The vet dosed them with "sulpha drugs to • which Honey ' reacted quite favourably but I imagine Tip was too far gone before we real- ized she was sick._ The first sign was a refusel to eat. I thought perhaps she had caught a rabbit and wasn't hungry: So, if you have a dog that won'4 eat - watch out. We shall miss poor old Tip. She was excellent with cattle and a good watch dog. Still on the subject of dogs: Remember what I was saying - about dogs being dropped from passing cars? One of our neigh- bours actually saw it happen, Unfortunately he did not get the licence number of the car. A car drove by and a black cocker spaniel was left on. the . road, The.driver evidently went up to the next crossroads, turned and came down the road again. The little dog recognised the car and raced after it but was soon out- distanced. The farmer went into the house for dinner, Next time he opened the back door the little dog ran in. His wife hadn't the heart to turn it away so ,she fed it. A week later there were six puppies. Three of them died but the others have all been promised homes. When the puppies go, the poor faithful little mother is to be taken to the Humane Society 'as • these people already have , a dog of their own. So you see that Is just one more instance of cruel- ty an ,desertion on the part of the original owners. Just recently I have been having a field day with books English magazines and old Flip of Coin Started Rosemary on Career; Teresa Brewer, fledgling Thrush at Two By DICK KLEINEIR NEA Staff Correspondent • New York - (NEA) -- When Teresa Brewer was two, she was well started on the career that made her one of ' the leading thrushes of the day, When Rose- mary Clooney was two, she was just another kid, That's how thrushes are cre- ated - in many ways, Teresa Brewer's career was started for her by her parents. She •sang in her home town of Toledo, 0,, when she was bare- ly through with pablum. By the - titii'e she was five, she was a regular with one of the Major Bowes amateur units She's been singing professionally ever since. Rosemary Clooney, on the other throat, more or less stum- bled into her career. When she was 17, and her younger sister, Betty, was 14, they started off • one day from their home in Maysville, Ky., to go swimming. On the way, Betty mentioned that she'd read that the big Cin- cinnati radio station, WLW, was holding auditions, The sisters had sung around home, and they'd talked some about doing it for money. But it was a hot day, and Rosemary wanted to go swimming, Betty said they might as well get an audition, Rosemary held out for the swhn, So they tossed a coin. And it came up a star, ROSEMARY CLOONEY: Holly- wood gowns stirred ambition, The audition got them a show on tho radio station right away. And before long Tony Pastor's band came to town, needing a girl vocalist Tony's manager asked an old-time dance band leader turned booking agent, Barney Rapp if there were any girl singers around Cincinnati. Rapp suggested the two kids on WLW. And so the Clooney sisters came to Rapp's office and sang for Pastor, There was no piano in the office, It didn't matter, He took the two kids along, and a few days later, wearing the homemade dresses their grand- mother had stitched up, they were singing at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, Their Uncle George went along as a guar- dian, Rosemary Clooney sang with Pastor's band for almost three years. Betty quit after a while to go back to school, Rosemary was only 18 when she started with Pastor. She had no great ambition even then. The musicians remember her mostly for her good spirits. Then they played Hollywood. The stars came to dance, Rose- mary saw Ave Gardner and the others, looking beautiful in their expensive dresses, Right away, an ambition was born. And it's an ambition that's been realized, Pastor's band' made records spasmodically. On one session, Tony and Rosemary did a duet on a now -forgotten song called "I'm Sorry I Didn't Say I'm Sorry When I Kissed You Last Night." Jos Shribman, Tony's manager and now Rosemary's, remembers clearly. "I was 'in the control booth," he says, "I heard her sing and I lit up. So did everybody. For the first time, I guess, we were really listening to her voice, On .the 'bandstand, all we cared about was. that she was in tune. But I knew the minute I heard her she had a big potential for records," There were a few more duets with Pastor,, then, under Shrib- man'sguidance, she left the bandand Gpliimbia signed her to a .:ref'ol'd"contract, The first recorilwerit.nowhere. Then she made - a 'thing called "Me and - My Teddy -Bear," as both a pop record and a kiddy record, that is still a kiddy best-seller. Af- ter that came "Beautiful Brown Eyes," which was doing reason BREWER AND DAUGTER MEGAN: She started singing when she was barely through pablum, but she prefers the nest, ably well until it was overtgken by her next record, "Come On -a` My House," It made her a star. Then came a procession of hit records, capped by the pheno- menal two-sided hit, "Hey, There" and "This Ole House" which sold more than 2,000,000 copies. Hollywood called her and she married Jose Ferrer and a flip of the coin on the way to the swimmin' hole sure changed a gal's life, Like Rosemary's "Come On -a My House," Teresa Brewer traces her stardom to one rec- ord; too, It was the bouncy little novelty, "Music, s Music, Music." Between her Major Bowes days and "Music, Music, Music," life wasn't too easy. She'd come to Now York, and was singing in .,•fl 44th Street cafe, but she was dz•,ciquraged and was just about tt:lgq back to Toledo, Then a manager named RIchard . Laselia • wziked past the cafe while she was -singing and -- "And I heard this odd sound," Lasella says. "I went in and it was her singing, I signed her up. The big record companies turn- ed her down, but I got her on this other label. Her fourth rec- ord was 'Music,' and she's been rolling since." .,. r That odd sound is Teresa's 'trademark. It's best described as what a kitten would sound like if a kitten could sing. With it, Teresa can rip into any kind of song - from a plaintive bal- lad like "'Til I Waltz Again - With You," to the brassy "Jilt- ed," Her kittenish voice and her kittenish looks - she's a cuddly 95 -pounder - have led her to popularity in night clubs, TV and Hollywood. The only limit to her activities is her prefer- ence for ,home life. She's married to a construc- tion company executive, Bill Monahan, and the - Monahan have three daughters - Kath- leen, 41, Susan, 3, and Megan,1. (The older two singjust. like Mommy, and delight in imitat- ing her,) They live in .New Rochelle, and Teresa turn - down many lucrative offers in order to stay home. This is one.. thrush who pre- fers the nest, • Canadian school readers, the latter dating back to 1885. Evi- dently school readers used to be the same year in and year out for quite a long time. In these books there are poems that I • remember very well although I certainly wasn't around in 1885. For instance I came across a great old favorite of mine. — "King Bruce and the Spider" - in fact I believe that poem help- ed ,me to overcome many child- ish obstacles, "The spider "op there defied despair,•he conquer • - ed; then why should not I?" There was also "We are Seven" by. Wordsworth. I. used to won- der why the, man was so stupid - why couldn't' he understand that . to the little cottage girl there still were seven in her family? And there was the sailor from "the Gray Swan" who returned to his mother af- ter twenty years; And how he was welcomed, "After Blen- heim" was another favourite.

Barclay Warren, B.A., B,D, — The Cross and Christian Discipleship, 2 Corinthians Galatians 2:20-21; 6:14-17 Memory Selections: God for - hid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world, Galatians . 6:14. • The cross is central in Chris- tianity, Omit it and Christianity is no longer Good News. Even the ethics set forth in the New. Testament loses its power if Christ did not die for us. No wonder Paul wrote,. "1 deter- mined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified," • 1 Corin- thians 2:2, One wonders if mod- ern emphasis on the psycholo- gical aspect of religion is tend- ing to obscure the central truth that Jesus Christ died for our sins. Yes, we need to understand ourselves better. But this will not save us. Only as we cling" to Jesus Christ as our Lord - and. Saviour will we find deliverance from sin. Let us not shy away from those hymns which focus our attention on the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for us on Calvary. Salvation is in Him and Him alone. Paul speaks of his own cruci- fixion with Christ; also of his own crucifixion to the world and the world to him. This im- plies more than the forgiveness of our sins, It involves a walk- ing in the way that Christ walk -- ed. We are to be like Him. Chris- tianity is a life to be lived day by day, It is the path of self- renunciation and consecration to all the .will of God. No longer do - we live for self but Christ; not self-centered. but Christ - centered. The cross has influenced us all more than we realize, J. F. Gregory - writing in Arnold's ,Commentary says, "There is nothing stronger in life than vicarious suffering, -- If we think of a soldier as one whose business is to kill, we recoil from hint in horror, If we think of him es one who exposes hts body to death for the purpose of protecting the weak, at once he wins our admiration, The cross of Christ claims the best in us, for there we see suffer- ing love at its 'highest," Let us proclaim the cross by word and, action, CONVINCED An elderly man consulted a doctor about his health, "Frankly," said the doctor, "it's quite obvious to me that you .drink too much, If you don't cut it out, spots will ap- pear on your face."

Under Glass The very first planting job will not be in the garden outdoors at all, but in the hot bed or special flats placed in bright windows indoors, A hot bed is simply a \. glass covered yard or so 01 special rich fine soil, heated with manure, electrically or some other means, Where a lot of plants are to be started the hot bed is the ideal solution and one is advised to get a Government Bulletin on the subject and fol- low the directions. Where only a few dozen started plants are needed one can sow seed in tine soil in a shallow box and place in a sunny window. Where this is not possible or practicable one simply purchases the started plants later on from any seed store or nurseryman. In this indoor planting it is important to use- tine rich soil, mixed with a little sand or leaf mould, One should not plant more than ' a few weeks before it will be safe to transplant out- doors. If these things start to grow too early they will get toe tall . and spindly to stand the shock of transplanting well. Keep it Informal The simplest design is usual- ly the most effective in garden layouts and for the non-profes- sional it is also much the easiest. • Except, of course, along walla, walls and similar fixed features, it is best to avoid straight lines both in the flower garden and in laying out shrubs and trees. The experts urge planting In clumps, with two or three or more of each plant in a group, For the centre and foreground - nothing is better than a real good lawn. On city lots this may only be a few square yards The grass sets oft the whole layout and it should lead up to the flower gar- den with possibly shrubs or trees or a vine covered trellis or fence in the background, or as a division between say a kitchen or vegetable garden plot at the, rear. Shrubs and flower borders are . also used to line driveways and fences. Against the house itself but at least a foot or so in fronto one can plant groups, of shrubs or taller flowers. In the flower garden or border the informal or clump planting is continued. Rather 'than set- ting out in rigid rows, one should plant groups of various flowers with the little things like alys- sum, dwarf . nasturtiums, lobe• llas and so on, in front, Taller things like zinnias, petunias, as- ters towards the centre and real- ly tall 'flowers such as cosmos,, marigolds and delphiniums at the rear. Walt Until Ready It's a great mistake to do any general sowing or cultivating while the ground is the least bit muddy. Heavy soil is injured and later trouble results When it is dug ' or worked too soon. A good test is to take a little earth and squeeze it in the hand. It when released it crumbles, but does not pack, it is fit for the spade or plow. If it doesn't crumble, it best to wait a few days longer.

If a -newly farrowed. sow suddenly goes dry, what becornes of her lit- ter? , Killing entails a total loss. Feeding, by bottle often costs more than it saves, The introductionof the Arnold Electric Foster Mother enables you to feed every piglet born on your farm, no matter how many there are in a litter. Also, and this is most important, it pre• vents the need for any sow having to suckle ' moi'e than nine piglets at a time, the maxi- mum number, according to authoritative op- inion, which any sow can feed if her piglets are to develop to the maximum advantage and if -she herself is not to be "pulled" down. NO GETTING UP AT NIGHT - Arnold Foster Mothers have this great advantage --- they can be left on all night without fear of danlage...Hence much "getting up at night" can be a- voided by'leavng the Foster Mother in the pen last thing at night, well filled and switched on, for the piglets to feed from as they feel inclined. The cur- rent consumption is so small that in 24 hours the total cost would amount to less than a penny. - - CONSTRUCTION ence with TV or radio.

As the name on the roll was called, they were required to tell who they thought it hnd been: A few of the guesses were correct, but others drew O plank, and then her Sunshine Sister revealed her -identity by pinning a cor- sage on her as a parting gesture. One amusing Incident was when Mrs. Emerson Hesk said she had no idea who her Sunshine Sister had been, but by the gifts she had received, it must be some one who vlsits at her home. To Mrs, Hesk's amazement, her twin sister, Mrs, Galtnt, arose and pinned a corsage on her. She hnd kept -the sce- ret well.

Chili¢ Poor old Tippy finally died. He departed this life last Mon- day and the farm seems lone- some without him. According to our "vet" a virus infection had penetrated the liver and spleen and was the main reason why. Tip refused to eat. When I told the vet Tip was eleven years old he exclaimed, "Well, after all, what could you expect?" And now for some good news. Last Thursday I heard geese overhead.. At least I thought I did, • but I wasn't sure as I couldn't see them. But the next day a neighbour told me he heard geese, too. So'';I guess 1 was, right, even thoilgh it does seem early, Early geese, early spring—isn't that the old saying? And who will grumble if it proves to be true? Just for the record, the date on which I heard the geese was March 10, I haven't seen or heard a robin yet, but there was. a blue jay out for an airing this morning and there are certainly, plenty of crows and starlings around and the cows are sort of sniffing the %ir when they are turned out to drink—the way they do . when spring is in the air.

As "recently. as' ten years ago almost every small town was crowded on Sat urdays with country folk intent on weekend shopping, and of. course visiting 'among, themselves . .especially .on Saturday nights.

Battery pow- ered, the tank -type cleaner actually picks up crumbs and dust, is designed to keep Sis busy while 'Mother gets on with the cleaning. It's one of the many "grownup" toys manufacturers are now showing for the 1955 Christmas trade. alike. Industrial workers were working six days a week at that time. When they did their shop- ping I don't know. But of course there were fewer of them around as industrial plants were small- er in size and number. But the picture has changed. They have the five-day week—so now it is the industrial workers and their families who- more or less take over the small town centres on Saturdays. Pay envelopes pro- vide the means for the house- wives' shopping; Saturday mati- nees a weekly treat for the chil- • dren and every available inch of parking space is taken up, Country children also want to go to the Saturday matinee and to be taken to town while moth- er goes shopping. So a great number of farm people must still go down town Saturday after- noon. Of course they used to wait until Saturday night, but that is practically a thing of the past as now small town store - keepers practise Saturday nigh) closing. The result , . , farmers, factory workers, men, woniell and children, from town and country, all crowd into town at approximately the sane time. Stores are jammed, lural folk who leave their shopping until Saturday have trouble in get- ting served, Older farmers, not having children who look for - 'ward to this Saturday treat, now do their hest to avoid Saturday shopping. As for me, there is only one thing that takes me to to town on a Saturday afternoon —just to pick up the weekend edition of a certain newspaper which I would hate to miss, and to get a few books from the library, Last Saturday I found the town particularly busy and I stood at the back of one of the stores—just watching, Finally, during a momentary slack pe- riod,.I said to the storekeeper, "You must notice quite a differ- ence in trade these days. His answer surprised me, "Not as much as you might think," he replied. "The extra town trade we get doesn't begin to make up for the loss of coun- try trade which is becoming in. creasingly evident with the re- duction in farm incomes. We have been aware of the change for some months now." Naturally many country folk know only too well that farm incomes have suffered .o set- back; but it was the first time I had heard it was being.reflected in small town consumer buying. In fact I had often wondered how long it would take farmers generally to realize they were not as well off as they might think. Sometimes it takes a gar- ment quite a while before it actually bursts at the seams, As far as I can see Saturday night closing only aggravates the situ- ation, In fact I know of a few LOST & FOUND The other day a woman walked into the lost property department of am omnibus com- pany in Edinburgh. She asked in a foreign accent: "Ilave you a pair of gloves I lost?" The man behind the counter search- ed the shelves, but told her the gloves had not turned up.

In the face of trying circumstances, they re- covered the distinction .rightly Canada's, the hockey championship of the world, ' thus throwing sand into the gear -boxes ' of a propaganda machine that must have been hopefully poised to grind out praise for the athletic superiority of the sturdy sons of the Soviet. And now that we have won back what was really ours, triumph in our own national game, should we call it a day? Should we refrain from further participation in this annual orgy of insults, mis-statements and accusations which are inevitable when one of the participants is seeking to use a sport for national propaganda purposes? There is tho thought that Canada should continue to participate first, in the interest of friendly relations with coun- tries outside the iron curtain; second, for the international good of hockey, to help spread the gospel of our crackling winter sport, But as to the event known as the world championships, we believe It is nils -named. Everybody knows that no real world championship, meaning world superiority in hockey, is seriously involved unless the . champlons of the National Hockey League, or the Stanley Cup holders, are involved, ' �' z� y �!3,•<.$1{'ty` "•Y':SA� Ko t Yi3�dn>FCs� ?p .. Of course, there can be produced that over -ripe red her- ring to indicate that this is the "world amateur championship". But that isn't going to deceive anybody, because everyone knows that in hockey at that level, simon-pure amateurism is as scarce as' the dodo -bird. And everyone knows, too, that Russia's athletes are part of the propaganda machine, stall - fed, government-sponsored, government -controlled, their acti- vities suitably recompensed. Russia has its own brand of amateurism, something contrived to suit the circumstances. And now that the fight has been won, and Canada's hockey superiority re-established to the embarrassment of the Krem- lin's propaganda machine, is thele any virtue in carrying on with a pointless chore? Everybody in sport is fully aware. that Canada is supreme in hockey. • Our victories in this tournament, over teams that in some cases could hardly make a respectable showing in Canada's midget hockey leagues, prove nothing new. Or should we continue so that hockeyshall become a more universal winter sport? Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yong.
