They did not answer, however,
and I opened the door to find
the encompassed ducks unen-
compassed, The wind, had snaked
a pane of glass from one of the
windows, and during the night
my flock had flown forth. This.
must have been something to
see. Dias can't jump like a
hen and they had to effect this
exit on pinions. How they took
off inside the smallish coop and
so fretted their wings that they
had them drawn close at the
precise instant of negotiating a
seven-by-nine opening, one at a
time, must have been a whole
new concept of flight. Some
artists in mobiles should try to
express this. A flock of ducks
erupting in order from a broken
windoeir suggests an unerring
acebraey 4,eyond, belief, and I'm
sui.e. if I'd seen it I'd have
doubte,d.

I heard an- answering quack from
from the pond, and I walked

of open water about the size of
a bushel basket. They were
bunched. Each had a soft blan-
ket of new snow on his or her
back, and each lifted a wild to-do
as I approached.
I got the idea they were glad
to „see me and were apologetic
for their perfenestration, I
quacked teasingly like a drake,
causing the hens to become vio-
-laritly enthusiastic, and then 1
quacked a little like, a hen which
stirred the drakes up a good
Then I edged out to see if
I could persuade them to leave
the springhole and move to-
wards the Coop. I told them I
'would repair the window and re-
store former comfort.
At this point I heard a great
snap, and a splash, and I pre-
slimed somebody had fallen_ in
the water, so I looked around -
and found it was myself, I diS-

continued to quack, but my ef-

their blankets of snow, disbelief

quack so good could swim so bacl.

Although it is toe early to be'

year's operation seems ,to bear
out this thesis, said Mr. Davey,
* *
It was also claimed that the
decision to make a uniform de-
' ficiency payment to producers
regardless of regional differences
was inequitable and that those
producers in lower market price
'regions should get larger de-
ficiency payments, Such price
„regions, said Mr, Davey, are the
result of differences.' in geo,

retail outlets, differences' in

It was -not intended that a price
support program, should iron out
these normal differences Which
have always .,existed.
Registration Of pioduc6rs was
essential to the success of the
price support program. Only
, one registration was allowed for
each flock .although many in-
quiries were received from
families wishing to divide up
their flocks to secure more than
one sregietration.
Surrounded by surplus mum-
mies shrouded in plastic bags,
Iorw e x t h Edwards, birdlike
keeper of Egyptian antiquities at
the British Museum, began work
last week on a task which might
have shaken a more impression-
able soul. Ignoriag the ominous
lore that surrounds things rifled
from tombs, he began decoding
a 22-foot-long papyrus known as
a Book Of the Dead, a kind of
passport to eternity buried with
Pharaohs, who extolled their vir-
tues to the God Osiris.
Because the superstitius donor,
Sir Archibald C. Campbell,
thought it unlucky to open it,
the scroll- bad languished un-
touched since 1874, when he
bought it from Egyptian grave
robbers, Not until the estate of
his daughter was settled last fall
did the museum receive the be-
quest.
After unraveling 1 foot of the
wheat-colored papyrus, Egyptol-
ogist Edwards knew he had a
unique find. The papyrus be-
longed to Pinudjem, a high
priest of the Pharaoh Slamun
(1000 to 984 B.C.), whose
daughter was married to Ning
Solomon. It is an exceptionally
long Book of the Dead, written
in elegant hieratic character
script, rather than the more
complicated hieroglyphics usu-
ally found in such scrolls.
With scholarly restraint, Ed-
wards reported that the text is
"of great interest to scholars ..
But we don't expect any inside
information about palace skul-
duggery, harem intrigues, on
priestly treachery from this
seroll."

When Jesus performed a mir
aele, discussion usually followed.
On this occasion the Jews cri-
ticized because the healing had
been performed on the Sabbath.
But first, let us look at the Mir-
acle,
Jesus seeing this invalid of 18
years, asked hint if he Willed to,
be'made whole, Of course he did.
That was why he was sitting by
this pool. put hope had well night
given way to despair. Jesus chal-
lenged him further, saying, "Rise,
take up they bed, and walk."
This called for resolution and
faith; Be responded. Ile-believe&
He undertook to do as• the Lord
bade him and, found he was able
to do so. Later, Jesus meeting
him in the temple gave him
warning, "Behold, thou art made
whole; sin no more, lest a worse
thing come upon thee."
The Jews first found fault be-
cause this man was carrying his
bed on the sabbath. If one is
against a cause, it takes a very
little thing'to evoke criticism: W.
need to carefully evaluate otiv,
motives before we criticize. If it
is in order to rescue a sheep that
has fallen into a pit on the sab-
bath, surely it was in order to
heal this man and for him to talm
his blanket with him. Jesus said.
on another occasion, "The sab-
bath was made for man, and not
man for the sabbath: therefore
the Son of man is Lord also of
the sabbath."
What Jesus had done was its
keeping with the words of Isaiah,
(58:13,14) "If thou turn away
thy foot from the sabbath, from
doing thy pleasure on my holy
day; and call the sabbath a de-
light, the holy of the LORD, hon-
ourable; and shalt honour him,
not doing thine own ways, nor
speaking thine own words; thou
speakig thine own words; tilos
shalt delight thyself in the- Lord."
Many people want to disrea
the Lord's Day and- seek their
own pleasures. Promoters of
commercialized sport and theatre
Owners want to make more
money. Communists are glad to
see a further weakening of the
worship attitude. We greatly
need a moving of Gocl'e Holy
Spirit that will move us to seek
the Lord and obey Him,

Thus, recently, did the myss
terious Lavon Affair, which had
been smoldering under a blan-
ket of censorship for more than
five years, explode into the
aspen. This was not merely a
political crisis in, Israel; it was a
'literal crisis — reminiscent,
ironically, of the infamous

Then something happened —

someone in Army intelligence

Cairo and Alexandria. The ap-
parent motive: To inflame rela-

Lavon accused his generals of

Russian Chickens
Not. To Blame
Spurred by their ambition to
"surpass the captialist U.S.," So-
viet farms and factories are belt-
ing out everything from pigs to
pig iron. But somewhere, sense-
one goofed: They forgot about
pillows,
A few weeks ago, Trade Min-
ister Dnmitri. Pavolv announced
that there were only enough
feathers to meet 15 per cent of
the Soviet public's annual des
mend for pillows. "He wasn't
telling. Muscovites anything they
didn't know," cabled Newsweek's
Moscow bureau chief Whitman
Bassosv. "Most Russian families
have to wait for at least a year
for new pillosys, Some newly-
weds have' been known to cut
pillows in two SO that each can
have one. Thera is evert a black
market, with peasants getting as
much as 5 rubles (about $8.50)
to make up pillows on the sly.
Yet even the black marketeers
have' to wait six months—until
the chickens, come through."
Are the chickens to blame?

it in OctOber, 19.59:" " -
Although each program• as-
sures a minimum level per dozen
— the offer-to-purchase program
establishing a baie and the de-
ficiency payment prpgram an
average for the yeafs' the-farm-
er program could result in high-
er returns to producers due to
the seasonal pattern , of prices
above the base or average .set.
The important feature of the
deficiency payment program
is that it permits the product to
be sold at prices that more
truly reflect supply and demand
and gives fees incentive to
production expansion. Produc-
tion expansion became a very
'serious ,nroblem as related to
the Canadian Stabilization pro-
gram for shell eggs.
*
It was dedided to support the
price of eggs at 33 cents per
dozen at the producer level, this
being comparable to the former
44 cents at wholesale level un-
der the old support-by-purchase
program. The deficiency pay-
ment would be equal to the
Amount by which the national
average price received by pro-
ducers fell below the support

starting Oct, 1, 1959, Payments
were limited to a mazimum of

Mr. Davey said charges were

The fact Was the department had

this way it Wes assured that
the total paid to the -large pro-

As the large-scale commercial
producers were 'the ones who
had expanded' molt it ftslIciwed
that they were least in need of
price support, Oh the other
hand, those who had the greatest

were given the largest Measure
