Family troubles cause much
of today's unhappiness, We par-
ents do not see our errors soon
,enough. It is obvious that we
cannot raise our children ex-
actly as we were raised, The
world about us has changed. '
We must adjust to the changing
scene without sacrificing any of
the essential values.
Jacob and Esau were twins.;
Esau was the older. He was a
light-hearted chap who loved to
hunt. Jacob was a man of the
fields. He knew that the birth-
right and. patriarchal blessing
belonged to the older brother.
But Jacob coveted it for him-
,self. One day when Esau came
in hungry from the hunt Jacob
saw his chance. Esau wanted
.some of the pottage which Jacob
had. "Alright," said Jacob, "but
you must ,first sell me your
birthright." Esau agreed. Both
men were in the wrong: Jacob,
because he unnecessarily temp-
ted his brother and Esau be-
cause he so lightly esteemed his
birthright,
Later, Jacob in connivance
with his mother, deceived his
father and secured the patri-
archal blessing. Esau was bitter
about this and planned to kill
,Jacob as soon as the father died.
But again Rebekah in her fay-
tourtism of Jacob stepped in and
arranged for Jacob to go home
to her people.
Jacob was doubtless the bet-
ler man to lather the tribes of
Israel. It had been revealed to
_Rebekah before the birth of. the
twins that the elder should
'serve the younger. Prophecy iS
history written in advance. But
it isn't necessary to resort to
unworthy tactics to accomplish
,God's design.
It's far .from a perfect world.
_But let us pattern our-lives of-'
'ter the example set for ...us by
.Jesus Christ We need ,His for-
giveness of our sins and His
grace moment by Moment to
live the fight life in a sinful
world. His graCe is sufficient.

.said, "Help stamp out little cars."

If the reader answers "no" to

• Here are some of Mr. Wherry's
comments on the cars he tested:
German VpU.cswagen; "Is the
Volkswagen overrated? No, it is
not. Neither is it perfect, but it
comes as close to being that as
any car in its European price

British Morris Minor: ". . .

Dog Expert Says
4Tr‘ain Them Young'
"Who's happiest, a dog when
he learns obedience or the owner
who trains him to obey?" When.
I put that question tQ Joan lioro.

tion proceedings tonight and

Each dog and owner would take

to see hew well the lessons had
been learned.

paSsedi,:the dog can then
enter the.high.Oehool fol-
lowed cbllege. When a dog
completes the tlifee courses and
passes test in each, he receives
a degree from the American
Kennel Club.
"Either a pedigreed or mixedi
brZed of dog can learn obedi-
ence," Mrs. Horowitz explained,
"though it is best to begin with
a young dog before bad habits
are acquired."
As each dog successfully com-
pleted a routine it was easy to
see the dog's pride in accom-
plishment as he turned his head,
upward toward his trainer for
recognition and approval. As
each owner stooped, affection-
ately patted the dog, and ap-
peared to restrain himself from
gathering up the animal in a
bear hug, it, was easy to see that
both were pleased and happy.
Mrs. Horowitz, who is a pretty
feminine little woman and the
mother of two children, has no
hesitancY about comparing the
disposition of dogs with those of
children. "Dogs," she explained,
"are a lot like children.
"They really love, to obey'
when,they understand how much
haPpiriess they derive from obe-
dience' and' that the bond of
affection and companionship be-
tween dog and owner grows,
stronger as a result."
Ninety-five per cent of the ,
work depends on the owner,
according to Mrs. Horowitz. The,
owner must be persistent, p'a-
tient, and learn to control his'
temper. He must also practice
with the dog each day.
There are about as many
women as men in the class. Both
make good students but some-
times a woman shows more pa-
tience and gives more time to
practice.A•
Agradiiate of the University of
Miamivitlf a major in music,
Mrs._ Horowitz uses her voice
h'i4eaghing others to give
„corn,,mandsiim a firm, but never
excited Or angry tone.
"A dog responds to a low, firm
voice," she said, "but many
women tend to shrillness and
-high-pitched tones when they
become excited or impatient and
a. dog senses this and becomes
frightened and confused."
To be sure that her students
are free from fear of hurting
their dogs she asks' them to
:check with the Humane Society
to verify her statement that the
use of a training collar on a dog
'twill not hurt him.
In dog training, the handler
is, taught to give a sharp jerk to
the leash fastened to the collar
and then an instant release. This
,:Comes as quite a shock to the
dog and is useful in letting him
know he's made a mistake, but
does not in any way hurt him.
With so many rules for the
Owner to follow, it was suggest-
edtthateit was the owner who
nekted -the training instead of

in The Christian Science Moni-
. tor.
"It's an extremely interesting
• experience with- human nature,"
Mrs. Horowitz explained. "Some
people are enthusiastic at first
and follow rules and later grow
lax and try to cram, during the
last few weeks, Others are not
demanding enough. and have to
develop that quality in them-
selves."
What started out to be a hobby
is, today a_ growing business with
many interesting sidelights'. Re=
cently one of her students call-
ed to say she had a friend who
had a lion cub that had gotten
out of hand and would Mrs.
HoroWitz train it. It's dogs only,
however, for Mrs. Horowitz. She
declined, Good Mariners for
lions are net her specialty.

THE RIGHT WAY TO PAINT YOUR HOUSg
There is a right' and a wrong way to do any jpb, as any good
do-it-yourselfer knows, The right way is usually the easier and.
more economical in the long run.
This is particularly true in painting a house, according to the
expert's. • '
They suggest that once the color scheme has been decided
upon the next step is to• estimate how much paint' to! buys To do
this, measure the distance in feet around. the house„tand then
multiply it by the height to the eave-line. Add extras such as
gable ends. Don't deduct for doors and windows as these com-
pensate for the amount of ,paint needed for eaves and clapboard
edges. Divide the total by 550 for the number of gallons' needed
for each coat. -Doors, windows, screens and similar trim usually
require 15 per cent of the amount needed Wcoat the house once.
Next step is to prepare the house. Dust, dirt, cracked and
peeling paint can cause a lot of heartache later if you paint over
them. Start cleaning at the corner gable so that you don't throw
dirt on clean areas. SoaP,and water will take the dirt off, but
only scraping, sanding or burning will take the scaling paint off.
When scraping remember to work with the grain so as not to-
mar the wood.
All knots uncovered by the scraping should be sealed with
knot sealer so that any sap, left in the wood will not' "bleed"
through the paint and discolor it.
A first or 'Printer coat is it must for area's that have been
scraped. Then all 'cracks and hail holes should be filled with
putty. The primer coat preVerits the finish coat from sinking in
and causing high and low gloss, spots.
For a smooth, even color, paint sould be mixed thoroughly
before you start and should be given, a stir every now and then
throughout the job. First, pour the oil off the top of the can.
Mix the pigment thoroughly; pour the oil back and then pour
the paint from one can to another a few, times.
Begin by painting the gables, They will usually be a different
dolor from the body of the •house and should any paint spill, it
won't land on freshly painted parts belotv. Paint the gables all
around the house in one go so that if you have to quit for a day
or so, or from one weekend to the next, the house Won't look
patchy. ,
Of course, the finished job will look patahy if too kavy a
coat of paint is applied, because it will run and wrinkle. Dip the

Javelin Hurler
Has Unique Style
A sketchy poll of the Penn
Belays coaches and officials who
had witnessed Miguel Quadra
Saleedo's demonstration of his
unique side-arm delivery of the
javelin throw failed to produce
a single vote that the Spaniard's
style was illegal or in any way,
contrary to amended rules of the
International Amateur Athletic
Federation.
Instead of using the normal
overhand toss employed by most
javelin throwers, the. Spanish
student of the Puerto Rico Col-
lege of Agriculture and Me-
chanics twists his body sideways
and then uncoils to deliver the
javelin with a side-arm action.
His three throws in the Frank-
lin Field exhibition measured
250, 250 and 265 feet. In ran
earlier practice session, he triss-
ed the spear 287 feet. The ac-
cepted world record is 281 feet
2 inches, and is held 'by Egil
Danielsen of Norway.
Salcedo was limited to an ex-
hibition at the Penn Relays be-
cause he had transferred to the
Puerto Rican college only last
January and had not completed
the full year required of trans-
fer students under the National
Collegiate A.A. rules.
