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 ilir when they are turned out to drink—the way they do. when spring is in the nir.

As recently. as ten years ago almost every small town was crowded on Sat urdays with country folk intent on weekend shopping, and ot. course visiting 'among, themselves . —especially .on Saturday nights, The families ,ofbusiness pcople were seldom seen in any great number down town on a Satur- day, There was a sort of un• written law that left that day t0 the farmers. It made it easier for Fhoppers and shopkeepers ISSUE 14 — 1965 MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER—It's the toy vacuum cleaner—not the little girl—that's going to be a big help to mother. Battery pow- •ered, the tank type cleaner actually picks up crumbs and dust, is designed to keop Sis busy while Mother gets on with the cleaning. It's one of the many "grownup" toys manufacturers are now showing for the 1955 Chrislmas trade. alike. Industrial worker's were working six days a week at that time. When they did their shop- ping 1 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 ehil- dren and every available inch of parking space is taken up, Country children also want to go to the Saturday mutlnee 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 Sulurduy night closing, The result , . , fnrmers, factory workers, mon, women and children, from town and country, all crowd Into town at approximately the snore time Stores are jnmined, Farm fotic who leave their shopping until Sutcu'day huve trouble in get- ting served, Older [aI niers, not having children who look [or - ward to this Saturdny treat, now do their hest to nvoid Saturday shopping, As for mc, there Is only one thing that takes me to to town on a Saturdny afternoon —just to picic up the weekend edition of a certnin newspaper which I would hate to miss, and to get a few books from the lihrary, Last Saturduy 1 [ound the town particularly busy and 1 stood at the back of one of the stores—just watching. Finnlly, during a momentary slack pe- rlod, I said to the stoi'ekeeper, "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 evidrnt with the re- duction In farm incomes. We have been aware of the chnnge for some months now." Naturally many country folk know only too well that farm Incomes have sulfered . a set- back; but it was the first time 1 had heard it was betng,refiected [IL small town consumer buying, In fact I had often wondered how long It would take farmers generally to reallze they were not as well off as they mlght think, Sometimes it takes a gar• ment quite a while before it actually bursts at the seams, As far as I can aee Saturday night closing only aggravates the sltu- ation, In fact I know of a few LOST & FOUND The other dny a woman walkecl lnto the tort property department of anornnibus com- pany in Edinburgh, Shc asked in a toreign accent: "IIave you a pnir of gloves 1 lost?"

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 participatlon in this annual orgy of insults, mis-statements and accusations which are inevitable when one 01 the particlpants is seeking to usa a sport for national propaganda purposes? There is tho thought that Canada should continue to participate flrst, in the interest of friendly relations with coun- tries outside the iron curtain• second, for the international hood 01 hockey, to help spread the gospel of our crackling winter aport, But as to the event known as the world championshlps, we believe it is nils-nalned. Everyhody knows that no real world champlonship, meaning world superiority In hockey, Is seriously involved unless the .chanlplons of the National Hockey League, or the Stanley Cup holders, are involved. 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 amateurlsm, something contrived to suit the circumstances. And now that the flght has been won, and Canada's hockey superiority re-established to the embarrassment of the Krem- tin's propaganda machine, is there any virtue in carrying on with a pointless chore? Everybody 1n sport is fully aware. that Canada is supreme in hockey. Our vlctorlcs in thls 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 unlversal winter sport?

Then the cap- tain told them: "Gentlemen,. I have a strict law against drunk- enness on my ship, just as you 'have a law against kissing In your streets, I paid my penalty, you must pay yours."

Secret Lost For Two Thousand Years ' It took a Roman Caesar to hod up progress more than two thousand years. It happened at the sumptuous palace of the • Roman princes . where Tlberiue Caesar,: Emperor of Rome,.glow- ered from his luxurious couch • at the . craftsman who sought •• audience with him. • "What is• it..you would show me?" ' he demanded. From the folds of his garment the man drew forth a beautiful- ly moulded goblet' of sparkling glass. He held' it, up' to the light • and gazed' at it with pride. "Watcll, 0 Emperorl" he cried. With a quick gesturehedash- ed the crystal cup to the stone floor of the palace; There were whispers .of witchcraft as the • courtiers stared in wide-eyed amazement. The glass had not shattered; only a dent showed where it had struck the floor. The craftsman stooped, picked up the goblet and hammered it back into shaped. • "Does anyone else know the secret of this glass?" thundered Tiberius. "No," said the man proudly. But his pride soon turned to fear, for a terrible anger cloud- ed the Emperor's features as he spoke again: "If this,art be pro- pagated, all goblets will be made of this — and our gold and sil- ver ones will be as worthless as dirtl" The craftsman paled at the Emperor's next words. Tiberius was ordering the soldiers to take him away and execute him. And so the invention of safety glass, protector of every motor- ist, was delayed for more than twenty centuries, To exist is to change, to change is to mature. • —Henri Bergson.

Timely Advice On ' Selling From Valuable Woodlots Farm woodlots are important in the economyof Ontario, rio but a rektin g theirr p oducts often is a problem to the owner who may sell without clear knowledge of quantity, quality or val- ue. District Forester G. W. Delahey, of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests offers this advice. "The best way to sell products from the woodlet is to mark the trees to be cut. In this way a selective cut can be made to leave the residual stand in good condition to produce the next crop. This method of selling is fair to both seller and buyer. Many farmers are selling logs in this way. They ei- ther cut the logs themselves and place them where a truck can pick them up, or the purchaser buys the trees on the stump and performs the complete op- eration. "Before selling marked trees, bide should be obtained from various wood - using industries so that advantage may be taken of the best market, Advice oan be obtained from the Zone For- ester on available markets for various Materials.

Huron County scores once more! There were no serious criminal cases on the docket at the recent Assizes in Goderich, Mr. Justice J. M. King was presented with the customary white gloves. He warmly congratulated our County on its freedom from crime. Huron County has a wonderful record in this regard. In the past 8 years there have been very few serious crim- inal cases. A Judge of 30 years' ex- perience declared, "Seventy-five percent of all criminal cases in my court in- volved drink." The C.T.A. must 1 e given credit for our excellent record. No legal outlets for liquor sale exist in Huron. Bottle Clubs and other il- legal bootlegging joints have fared i:1 of late. The record of convictions fcr 1054 is impressive. "I drink but I wouldn't be caught in one of those clubs," declared a reputable citizen of "One town",—(somewhere in Huron re- cently).—Advt.

COUNTY -WIDE- TOPIC A controversial topic during the past winter has been that of store hours in our village, particularly us they pertain to Saturday night closing, Apparently the subject Is county -wide as last wrote a delegation from the County Town of Goderich travelled to various centres, apparently including Blyth, to secure general reaction to - ward's closing stores on Saturday night and remaining open Friday nights in- stead. According to an account in the God- erich Signal -Star the group, met with little success in the matter of arriving at a conclusion, as merchants in the various centres were mixed in their opinions, with the exception being our neighbouring Village of Brussels which according to the report "is all for Sat- urday night closing," Survey Reports At a meeting of the Goderich Retail Merchants Association, Tuesday night of last week, the report of the surveys in the district were made with the following findings being presented to the meeting: At Kincardine there was a mixed feeling re the Saturday night closing, They have sent out 4,600 questionnaires to district residents asking for sugges- tions as to how Kincardine merchants can Improve service to customers.

'Mitchell, Clinton, Seaforth and Hensall all reported a smaller business volume on Saturday to what it• once was. Letters were sent to St. Marys, Collingwood, Brockville and Belleville which have had Saturday night closing for some years now and they feel they have not suffered by it, A recent survey by the Chamber of Ccm'mercc in Ontario revealed that of 50 towns, only 15 have their stores op- en Saturday nights. Referring to the aforementioned fad, one Goderich merchant in attendance at the meeting said: "Why Is Huron Coun- ty so far behind the rest of Ontario?" "We're still milking the cows at nine o'clock instead of at six o'clock rrd then getting off to a hockey game," he said. "'We ccun't put Saturday night clos- ing here through with a rush," said Frank Hibbert: "People have to get educated and used to the idea of it," Mr, Hilabert then read a draft of a questionalrro which he proposed send- ing to organizations in the district in order, to get the feeling of the country people on the matter, Mr, William Anderson said he had reviewed the statistics for the past year of the shoe store he operates and had found that , 50 percent on the entire year's business was done on Saturdays. He stated Thursc:ays and Tuesdays Is a little better than Monday, Wednesday Is the. 'poorest day of the week for business, Sumner Ifours Problem Ilere Getting buck to the situntlon as It pertains to Blyth, Last fall a meeting of the Board of 'Trade decided on clos- ing hours for the months of January, February, March and April, During those months Saturday night closin; hours, were nine 'o'clock, 'Altnost im- mediately the public co-operated, 'and so far as The Standard knows, there was very little unfavourable reaction from the shopping public, With the advent of daylight saving time this month, the problem of sum- mer closing, hours poses another prob- lem that will have to bedealt with, Saturday night closing may be an in- novation for the future, but we doubt if either merchant or the -public are ready for the change on such short notice. Saturday night have long been "the night out" in rural communities such as Blyth, You can't change peo- ple's habits 'ever night, It may well be that new entertainment Innovations, such as television, may have bearing on the decline of Saturday nights' im- portance as a time for shopping. As it stands locally now—stores will likely remain open Saturday nights until such time as bigger centres in- augurate a change, The popularity of Saturday night shopping in the small town may be on the decline, but it is still the most popular, and most lucre - five shopping hours, and in view of this , changes will cone slowly, - BIRTHS GRAY—In the Humber Memorial Iios- pital, Weston, on Wednesday, April 0th, 1055, to Mr, and Mrs, George Gray (nee Mary Nesbitt) of Toron- to, a daughter, Janet Elizabeth, a sister for Susan, s NEW OFFICE BUILDING FOR GODERICII FIIIM 'Construction work will start soon on the large new office building to be erecte at Goderich ler Goderich Ele- vators.

Clinton, Ont, Some Tales of Jumbo Famous Elephant Of all the famous animals the London Zoo has 'housed in its century and a quarter of exist- ence, none—despite the great fame of Brumes the polar bear —ever captured the imagina- tion of the entire country as did Jumbo, The elephant went to Regent's Park ninety years ago, a scruffy little baby, and his de- parture for America, eighteen years later, was accompanied by nation-wide lamentations. Jumbo was captured when rather less than a year old on the banks of the River Settite in Abyssinia in -1861. His captors sold him to the Paris Zoo. After staying in Paris for three years, Jumbo was exchanged for a rhinoceros; Paris got the rhinoc- eros, and the London Zoo got Jumbo. Jumbo arrived at Regent's Park in June, 1865, and was banded to a keeper named Mat- thew Scott, The youngster stood only four feet high and was in a filthy condition. His feet had been neglected and had become malformed. His temper was terr- ible; he destroyed the doors of his house and drove his tusks through the iron plates. Scott took hold of Jumbo by one ear, and Superintendent Bartlett took the other, and they thrashed him soundly. Later Jumbo was taken into the gardens and meekly took children for rides on his back at 2d. a time; but once back in his house, his behaviour continued to be bad. Nevertheless, he be- came a great money-maker for the Zoo. At first keeper Scott was allowed to retain all those twopences, but there came a time when the Zoo authorities decided' otherwise. From then then onwards Jumbo made £800 a year for the Zoo. Jumbo's tusks, broken when he thrust them through the iron plates, began to grow again, but they emerged through the skin near his eyes. It was decided to operate,. But as the operation be- gan, Jumbo gave a scream of fright and tried to kill his keep- er, who just managed to escape. For the second attempt at an operation, all precautions were taken against Jumbo's possible behaviour, but this time he was. as goad as gold, just as if he understood that he would be re- lieved from pain, But once back in his house, he continued to raise Cain. Jumbo was quite a problem to the Zoo. It was decided to find a mate for him. The Zoo bought Alice, a tiny female elephant, for £500 from an East 'End dealer, Superintendent Bartlett and Alice walked all the way to Regent's Park and then sat down together to supper, Jumbo at first showed no sign • of being influenced by female society; indeed, his behaviour got worse. But the people who flocked to the Zoo to see him knew nothing of whatwent on behind the scenes; when he ap- peared in public he was as docile as could be. The Zoo put up with him for sixteen years, then the Superin- tendent petitioned the Zoo Council to be allowed to pur- chase a powerful rifle toshoot him. But at that critical moment • came a letter from New York,, from Mr. Phineas Barnum, proprietor of "The Greatest Show on Earth,".offering £2,000 for Jumbo, This . was accepted and his life was saved., As soon as the news spread that Jumbo had been sold to Barnum, Britain • went wild with excitement. Nobody outside Zoo circles knew that Jumbo was scheduled to be shot. Thousands of letters reached the Zoo from both children and parents. Music -hall singers sang ballads about Jumbo. One typical verse went as follows: "Jumbo said to Alice, 'I love you.' Alice 'said to Jumbo, 'I don't believe you do; T. V. Top Is Guestproof and Family -Resistant By EDNA MILES Ever have hot coffee spilled on the top of your TV set? Or have you tried to wipe off rings made by the glasses that care- less guests put down on the handiest spot? Of course you have. Prob. ably the results were none too good and you bemoaned the damage to your set, then tried to cover the marks with a vase or a lamp. Good news for the home- maker lies in announcement of a new laminate being used In some table -model TV sets. The new material combines the pro- tection of plastic with the rigid- ity of metal. It comes in a var- iety of colors, to fit in with any living -room decor, One set, for instance, comes in pretty shades of coffee, sand, cordovan or gray. And beneath the color, the surface is functional, it's guaranteed lot to chip, crack, peel, stain or scratch. It will stand up to heavy abuse from guests or children and keep its good looks meantime. Guestproof laminated top on this TV set is impervious to spilled liquid. Won't stain or scratch, chip, crack or peel. Actually, you may use the you like. Handprints, spots 'and top of sets having this laminat- I stains all wipe free with a ed material as a serving pot if 1 damp cloth. If you only loved me, as you say you .do You'd never go with Barnum's Show And leave me in the Zoo,'" Another song was entitled: "Why Part With Jumbo?" Then there was the "Jumbo March" for the piano which all the little girls and boys who loved Jumbo learned to play. There were letters to the newspapers, full of indignation; there were protest meetings, But the Zoo stuck to the bargain: £2,000 for Jumbo as he stood; Barnum to pay all transport ex- penses and to arrange the transport. There arrived from America "Elephant Bill" Newman, said to be an expert in handling elephants, and a Mr. Davis, Barnum's personal. representa- tive. Little did they know what was in store for them. Jumbo, now eleven feet tall, walked placidly enough into a travelling cage mounted on a low trolley. He was chained by his forefeet,. but he struggled hard and pounded the side's of the box. He weighed six tons, Heavy drayhorses were harnes- sed to the trolley, which• moved oft and at once sunk to its axles, It took four hours to get clear of the gates of Regent's Park. " ' Night fell and huge crowds collected. It took five more hours to cover 100 yards, again and again the trolley sank down to its axles. The crowd took up a chant: "The. Yankees will never have Jumbo," -It took all night to get to the docks; there was a procession of hansom cabs and pedestri- ans. At seven a,m. Jumbo had breakfast, plus a; copious drink of beer given him by, a'weeping woman who had, followed him, 'from the . Zoo. After, the beer, Jumbo was given some .whisky, It later transpired, that the Americans who had come to fetch him 'were so "het up' that Barnum offer- ed another £1,000 if the Zoo would take the responsibility of getting Jumbo to New York, The Zoo refused. Jumbo was first put on a barge, and then hoisted by .a hydraulic crane on to the. As- syrian Monarch, where a huge amount of stores for his journey had already been placed. The ship, with Jumbo aboard, sailed on March 27th, 1882, So great was public interest in Britain that daily bulletins' were put into waterproof bags and dropped overboard in the hope that news of Jumbo would DRUMSTICKS GALORE -- Folded up underneath like retractable' landing gear are the two extra legs which this chicken was blessed -or cursed. The creature was on exhibit at the Biological Institute , of the University of Istanbul, Turkey. reach Britain: During the whole voyage cartoons ' and sarcastic verses appeared in British pub- lications. Jumbo arrived in New York on April 9th. There was £450 customs duty to" pay on him. 'The elephant received a tumul- tuous 'reception :and was placed on show . at' Madison Square Gardens in 'New York. . ' For ,three • years Jumbo toured. the' 'United State@@ ith'Barntim's Circus; meanifOIC the : children of 'Britain • cont1htgd to mourn for him. In the late summer of 1885 the Show was in Canada. September 15th of that year the 'Circus was tented at St. Thomas, Ont., where Jumbo suddenly took a violent dislike to an on- coming train. He charged the locomotive full tilt, and was killed outright; Jumbo was skinned and stuf- fed, and put on show standing next to his skeleton, Some years ' later this somewhat gruesome exhibit was brought to London. On the death of Jumbo, Bar- num bought his mate Alice and had her fetched to America; where she was exhibited as "Jumbo's Wife," butrshe surviv- ed her mate by only' two years. PRINCESS MARGARET AT DEDICATION,- Princess Margaret (left) appears before a group of Girl Guides as she: arrives for the dedication of the Anglican Church of Sts. Philip and James in London.

One astronomer has said that .if we could meet a creature from ' Mars_ we would probably find him "too uncanny and too. clever for us." lie might also be' millions of years ahead of us in. evolution. ' .Scientists are still divided ,Ton the question of whether Mar- tlans- exist on the -red' planet • so 'many- millions of miles -away, Some .say the only ' life is a strange kind of bright vegeta- tion .which makes Mars look red, But the Astronomer -Royal, Sir :Harold Spencer _Jones, believes it is desert that gives the planet its ruddy colour, He'has pointed out that other parts of the sur- face are greenish in colour. It is believed that the "rarefied atmosphere ' of Mars is rather like that which- exists 100,000 • feet above tthe earth's surface. Warm-blooded creatures, be- cause of 'the lack of .oxygen, • could not • therefore exist on Mars, says one world-famous as- tronomer, But he -does not rule out, the possibility of some kind , of life. flourishing there.

He, called 'these streaks channels or canals, What'. astronomers now want . to find out is whether these channels were constructed by Martians to carry water 'from • the melting polar caps for pur- pose of irrigation.

Here is a list of practices which may cause a tractor to upset; they are all caused by the human element: 1, Turning corners at high speeds, 2, Drakes not balanced with the result that the brake on ono side operates betore the other, throwing the tractor to one side, 3. Driving the tractor too fast over rough ground so that the driver, in his ellorts to hang on, loses control, 4. Trying to take short cuts over steep banks and ditches, 5, Making "Jack"- rabblt" starts when the tractor is pulling a heavy load, causing the tractor to go over backward, 6. Hitching loads to some part of the tractor other than the draw -bar. This makes the pos- sibility of the "traetor'over- turning backward very much greater, • * e People can be killed or injured when the foliowing practices are permitted: 1.

Name for Athone Il 10 i6 2. e 4 Idle tractors on the farm do not have to be fcd but there is a closo relationship between the number of hours a tractor is used during the year and the cost per hour of use, * • * In a study of tractor costs on 124 one -tractor farms — 83 in On- tario and 41 in Quebec, the Ec- onomics Division, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, found the cost per hour of tractor use var- ied from 83 cents when used 694 hours per year, to $2,14 when used only 119 hours, Similar differences were found for many of the tractor operated machines such as ploughs, seed drills, com- bines, forage harvesters and hay balers: * •. • Cost per acre for host farm operations on the 124 farms studied was less where tractors were used than with horses, even with the same size implements, Ploughing w i t h a 2 -furrow plough and 3 horses, an average of 34 acres per year, cost $9.42 per acre, With a 2 -furrow, two - plough tractor, ploughing an av- erage of 45 acres per year, the cost was $3.02 per acre, * * * Mowing hay the average horse drawn mower on the Ontario farms cut 31 acres at a cost of $2,58 per acre. With a tractor, mowing on the average 54 acres per year, the cost was $1,64 per acre. On the Quebec farms, horse mowers cut en average of 40 acres at $2,42 per acre and the tractors 77 acres at $1,18 per acre, 4'. • * These records indicate that on small ,farms a deflnite saving in machinery coats can be made by exci.anging work with neigh- bours, Where one farmer owns a combine, another a forage har- vester, perhaps another a hay baler, by exchanging work each machine can be' used double the. number of hours, It can be done on a basis of exchanging work or by charging regular custom rates for each machine, Guard of Honor 'For Two OId Goats When information reached a native police chief in New Guinea the other day that the administrator and some other big -wigs were to pay,, a visit, he hurriedly. got his ten -man squad spruced up and ready for the receptlon of the VIP's.

The police chief, accustomed to the disrespectful aspersions sometimes cast on high person- ages, took it for granted that the administrator .was . one of the "old goats" and when the landing door opened, got his men to snap to attention and present arms.

GREEN THUMB Avold , Theso Mistakes Planting too deep, too close, and 'too soon, are probably the most common mistakes in gard= ening, One should forget all about the tiny seeds one is sow - Ing and think only of the size of the plants those tiny seeds will grow. Even littlo fellows, like alys- sum 01' portulaca, or leaf lettuce and green onions, require some. space to develop properly. The safe rule is About at least half as much space between plants as they will be high when full grown, With small flowers and vegetables, this means at least a couple of inches between and wlth zinnias,. peas,. beans, etc., at least four to six Inches. .With dahlins and corn this should be 12 to .18 . inches, The rule for depth is tltree times . the diam- eter of the seed or root planted, This means that renlly tiny seeds should be merely pressed in the soil while such things as beans 'and peas should be covered about an Inch deep, The bulbs or corms of tall flowers like gladiolus and dahlias should go down from six to 12 inches. Good .Toois • Gardening cines not require expensive equipment, 13ut it will be . easier . with ,a few special tools.".With. most:• of this hand equipment itis advisable tp hnve' long handles so that one does not have to stoop. It is ,surpris- ing how accurate and quickly one can do thinning and weed' . ing of even tiny stitft with a long sandlod sharp hoe or uul- tivator" provided the same is arrow or comes to a point, The D -shaped dutch hoes are ex- cellent things for killing Tveeds and, loosening up the top soil, but one must be careful in using too close .to sprawly vegetables and flowers. There are all sorts of tiny rakes, . trowels andeulti' vators. With any of this equip - ment, the work will -be cut in two if the edges are kept sharp and clean,' An old file will be handy. No Rush The present generation is sup- posed to be always in a hurry but when it comes to gardening they take things more slowly than their grandfathers did. And rightly " so, Instead of planting the whole garden on the first fine day, they plant gradually and they plan to have a succes sion of bloom and a succession of flowers all through the sum mer and fait, But whlle itis not advisable to rush things, every- one with any interest in this fasclnatirig hobby wants to have a few extra early things too.

Some years ago MIss Sorabji, first Indian woman to read law at Oxford, received a brief to defend an elephant that had been the favourite of a Hindu ruler, In his will he had left an entire plantation to the ole- phant, which was given the rlght to eat as much fruit as it liked, tear up trees or trample anything it chose, The new ruler considered thli to be wasteful and had the ani- mal ejected, The mahout (keep- er) then appealed to Miss Sorabji and invoked her aid, Fortunes For Pets As Miss Sorabji entered the court, she stopped to pat a dog in her path. To her astonish- ment the judge instantly ex- claimed: "Whoever interferes with the grant of the plantation to the elephant shall be trampl- ed to death by wild elephantsl" This decision was reached because the judge decided to let the reactions of his favourite dog point the way. When it re- sponded to Miss Sorabjis pet- ting he concluded that her client must be in the right. In 1937 there was a tremend- ous stir over the will of a widow who left a fortune to her peke, Poochey La La, together with a sizeable slice for the local clergy to otter prayers for its doggy soul, Dusty, a fox terrier belong- ing to Mrs. Mary S. Morrow of Florida, was. left £42,000 to provide for 11I5 decllning years— with only one proviso --that he must never be allowed to mate, And Tommy Tucker, an enor- mous 5 -year-old alley cat that had wandered into Miss Louise Bator's home in New York and made itself the centre of her existence, was left £2,000. Dogs and cats don't live very long, and even where the courts uphold 'such legacies, waiting relatives usually get the money within a few years. But when MIss Vera Barnes of Cambridge, Mass., left £7,000 to her par- rot, arrot, relatives gave up hope, It. was but four years old and par- rots have been known to live to be a hundred. What is perhaps the strangest will was made by a man who had one of the strangest "pets," Col, W. H. Jackson of Athens, Georgia, would sit each day under a giant oalr:. Ile had known the tree since he was a boy, and as the seasons changed he watched it change, too. He feared that after his death it would be cut down, so in leis will he gave the tree ownershlp of itself together with the land within a radius of 12 feet from the outer edge of the trunk, The language of tones belongs equally to all mankind, and melody is the absolute language In which the musician "speaks to every heart, . --Richard Wagner, (llOOL LESSON 8y ttev ft ilarcla. , Warren Our Assurance of Elernal Llte 1 Corinthians 15: 3.10, Memory Selection: I am the resurrectlon, and the life: he that believeth In 'me, thuugh he were dead, yet sitall he live: and whosoever liveth and be- ileveth In me shall never die. John 11:25-26, We could not afford to mise the Easter season, At this time we take a stronger grip upon the eternal. Our thoughts go beyond the grave to the glorious resurrection, The Easter lily reminds us of the freshness and beauty of our new body.' Our minds are quickened at the thought. In it all we see Jesus Christ; --the One who died for our sine and rose again the third day. No other religion,—and there are many,—claims that its lead- er rose from the dead. Chris- tianity holds this distinction. We believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead because the Bible records it and the Bible never lies. IIe was seen several times after his resurrection,—on one occasion by about 500 people. I believe in the resurrection because of the change produced in the lives of people who be- lieve in this living Saviour. They forsake their sins and find a new joy and purpose in life, Only a living Christ could do this for them. He who comes to the hour of death with this assurance has a firm hope. To him death is not the end. It is an entrance into a fuller and richer life, He knows it will be better than this life, There will be no tears and no pain. To be with Christ will be far better. But to come to the hour . of Death without knowing Jesus Christ in his re- demptive power is frightening. There is no assurance. Chrls- tians die well. They die well because by the grace of God they have lived well.
