NOT A CHANCE — Rescue workers pull miner Lorie K, Boll from the mine in which he was
trapped when the roof collapsed in. Carlsbad, N. M. Boll's co-worker, iie Gattanece was not
found in the potash mine, and rescurers gave up all hope for him.
The sweet - faced, beguiling
Geisha girl cowered in terror,
Her master had. suddenly become
,damented. Brandishing a sword
wildly round his head, he rushed
at her, beat her to the floor, and
with a succession of murderous
blows hacked off her arms.
Miraculously, she recovered
from this terrible assault. When
her' wounds healed, she entered
a nunnery and there, after re-
ligious consolation, she took up
..painting.
She learned to paint excel-
lent pictures by gripping her
brushes between her teeth.
Years afterwards, so far from
regretting what the maniac had
done, she regarded is as a heav-
enly blessing.
"How otherwise," she asked,
"could I have escaped from the•
Geisha's cramped, dependent ex-
istence and entered this happy
new life of spiritual freedom and
artistic achievement?"
It needs rare courage to face
up to a terrible handicap like
that Yet people Manage to find
that courage. However physical.,

of his body was burnt, it seemed
that no medical treatment could
save him. ‘Ordinarily, a 50 per

But ,although his body was
blackened and charred, , Michael
had a tremendotte will' to hare.
, Bearing his sufferings with
amazing, courage, he kept him-

By Rev. R. 8, Warren, 13 4., 111.
Who Are the Strong?
Judges 10;1148, 105.21
Memory Selection; If ye live
after the flesh, ye shall die: but.
If ye through the Spirit do mor-
tify the deeds of the body, ye
shall live. Romans 8;13.
There is no Scripture to indi-
cate that Samson had unusu-
ally large muscles, The excep-
tional physical strength which
he exercised on occasions was
due to two factors;, his faithful
observatice of the Nazarite vow
and the coming of the 1-1 l y
Spirit upon him. Manoah, be-
fore she conceived Samson, was
told not to drink wine or strong
drip k, nor eat any unclean
thing. Samson was to be a Na-
zarite unto God from the womb.
He would begin to deliver Israel
out of the hand of the Philis-
tines.
Samson is remembered more
for his failure than his successes,
He slept with his head in the
lap of Delilah though he knew
she was in consort with his
enemies. Under the pressure of
her nagging he had disclosed
to her the secret of his strength.
Had he become presumptuous?
Was he losing faith in the im-
portance of keeping his Nazar-
ite vow? One wonders. When
he got up with his locks shorn,
he said, "I will go out as at
other times before, and shake
myself." And he wist not that
the LORD was departed from
him.
Samson, the hero of Israel for
many years, became the slave
of the Philistines. Now with 'his
eyes put out he is grinding, at
the mill. He illustrates well the
binding power of sin, the blind-
ing power of sin and the grind-
ing power of sin. When he broke
his covenant with God, under
the seduction of a wicked wom-
an, he became as weak as other
men.
Poor Samson! His physical
feats confounded his enemies.
But he failed at the spiritual
level. How many tragedies there
have been here ! Many strong
men are snared by either wine
or women or by both wine and
women. Samson escaped the first
but was overcome by his desire
to please the second.
Beware of Delilah. "A virtu-
ous woman is a crown to her
husband: but she that maketh
ashamed is as rottenness in his
bones." Proverbs 12:4.

A Grand Slam
By A Grand Guy
There are a great many dif-
ferent ways in, which Stan
Musial of the Cardinals could
have celebrated his 3,000th hit in
the major league. It was the
biggest milestone in a truly great
baseball career. By coincidence
or accident he chose a method
of celebration that is perhaps•
unique, but that is typical of a
great and fine 'man.
As a birthday present he
bought a house for Dick Kerr
and his wife down in Houston,
Tex. The gift is a joy to Mr.
and Mrs. Kerr. It is an honor of
the warm-hearted sort to Mr.
and Mrs. Musial. Dick Kerr, the
stout-hearted little pitcher for
the Chicago White Sox 30 years
ago, saw Musial in a farm-club
training camp back in 1940. Stan
Was discouraged at the time,
about ready to hang up his al-
most unsharpened spikes. Kerr
took him, in hand and started,
him on his road to greatness.
The Musials did not forget,
The Kerrs wanted• a home of
their own. Stand his wife
saw to 'it that they got one,
`Stan says that 3,000th hit was the
greatest thrill of his life. We
think he'll get a bigger one when
he and his wife make their next
visit to the Kerrs.

In Hartford,onn., Dominick

of a girl, left alone in the heart
Of the jungle wits ga native
porters in her charge. Yet ,she
didn't sit down and cry, She
buried her father and. instead of
trekking back to base empty ,
banded, she resolved to carry
on with the expedition,
Eagle day she shot the food
her bearers needed, and killed
or photographed the- wild speci.
rnens her father had sought, She
felt 'he would have wished her
to carry on. It was a brave
daughter's tribute to a brave
father.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the
great American President, wag
a shining example of man's tri-
umph over paralysis, but others,
though not so influential in
world affairs, have 'triumphed
ever similar afflictions,
Frederick Snide, a wealthy
young American, was enjoying
a world tour when polio struck
him down. His limbs were para-
lysed and even breathing was
difficult, He was doomed to live
the rest of his life in an iron
lung. Yet he never lost heart,
in fact, he gained in cheerfulness
and confidence.
If 'that's not courage enough,
consider the feat achieved only
recently by 16-year-old Christine
Perrot, of Enfield, Middlesex,
who for four years, as a polio
victim, has only been able to
move her head. That, however,
did not prevent her, while lying
in her iron lung at the Alex-
andra Hospital, Luton, from tak-
ing her G.C.E. examination en
English literature,
As the questions were put to
her she dictated her answers to
a sherthand-tyeist. When the
examiners marked her paper,
they awarded her a very good
,pass. Now she is working, for
her G.C.E. examination in art,
and despite her confinement in
en iron lung she is managing to
paint and draw. Like the Geisha
girl she relies on her' teeth as
the means of manuipulating her
pencils and brushes.
Worthy of high praise, too, is
a Dublin boy, Christie Brown,
Though 'Cerebral palsy has rob.,
bed him of the power of speech
he has expressed himself through
writing and painting.
Being one of a family of 12,
he could hardly expect to claim
a great deal of his mother's time.
He first learned to Write by
gripping a, chalk between his
toes, ,Then, by this technique,
he gave to the world a notable
book, 'recording his own life
story, an' inspiration' to thous-
ands of people, And, from writ-
,ing he' has turned to painting,
holding the brush between his
toes.
In 1902, when Rolf Thomassen,
was born, cerebral palsy cases'
did. of receive the highly epee-
ialilad treatment they get today.
But despite, the fact that he was
-a spastic and his trouble's Were
little, understood, he got to grips
with his handiCaps and refused
to let himself' ;be dismissed an
a piece of human flottam.
By degrees, with atreneendous
effort of will, he taught himself
to paint, play the zither and
type. His limbs remained para-
lysed, his speech halting, but
with his mouth he accomplished
all these things.
When the/ Nazis invadedNor-
way*they found Rolf living in
a home for disabled persons,
and proMptiy -turned him out of
it. Undaunted, he set up in a
room to work on his own, and
managed to keep from starving
by painting, and selling his pic-
tures.
Today, this remarkable inan
holds a splendidly worth-while
job as an art teacher in a school
for handicapped persons. And
people far less handibapped than
himself find in him a daily in-
spitation to conquer their af-
flictions.

Each year at the Fredericton
Laboratory, as a part of the
potato breeding program, a large
number of Potato seedlings both
in the greenhouse and in the
field, are ,evaluated for scab re-
sistance. Due to this research
number of highly *rekiltant po-
tatoes thave been selected, One
seedling which has undergone
considerable testing, both in. New
Brunswick and Ontario has, due
to its good quality and high scab
resistance, been selected and in-
treduced in Ontario. This seede
ling has been'licensed under the
name of Huron.

A number of other seedlings
show considerable promise and
it is hoped-that further tests will
prove these to be suitable for
general acceptance.

Because .Trolene kills warble

effect of the treatment cannot
be determined until the next

other ranches should not be 'able
to reach the Empire Valley cat-

assessment- of the test results
will be made when "the 1958-59
warble grubs appear.

In addition to this test the
Kamloops laboratory carried out
several other tests of still newer
chemicals and methods. Feed-
ing these drugs in combination
with concentrate feeds showed
good results and it is anticipated
that more extensive tests of this
method will be carried out next
'season,

and thus give the recession a
quick cure by returning the
auto industry to full employ-
ment
This would be go.11 for Gen-

It would be good for the auto
workers. And it would be goed

everyone knows that when the
auto industry sags, it drags
down everything else.
Of course, when the CCC gut

we'd need both in-the-plant
storage and lots of steel ware-
houses around the country. Stor•
age would get to be a profitable
new business, as it developed in
agriculture,
We'd also need plant allot-
ments of some kind. But the
"Big Three" would probably
chose to idle some old, outlying
buildings that don't produce
much anyhow. And then, by
adding a few more workers here
and there in the main plant, the
industry could easily increase
its total production. Agriculture
did,
with a guaranteed (gov-
ernment) market, dozens of new
little auto makers would spring
up outside the Detroit area,
We'd be' constantly' adding
counties to the commercial-car-
area. These new producers
would add, to the surplus. Nut
much at first. But the carryover
would grow quickly . . . as
witness the feed grain situation.
Production might get a little
sloppy, and, we'd have a batch
of pretty tinny cars in the CCC
warehouses. After all, why
should the manufacturer worry
about developing markets based
on quality? He's been reading
for years about low-quality soft
wheat and the poorer grades of
cotton piling up in tents and
empty ships , and abandoned
schoolhouses. "
Eventually the Congress would
force the Secretary of Manufac-
.turing to "dump" these poor'
quality, out-of-style cars over-
seas at half price. This .would
make the rest of the' world un-
happy — but aftet all, there are.
