tive women and strong drink.
They are often found together.
Sexual relations out of wedlocle
are on the increase. It is sad,
when the young person about to
be married, has not kept himself
pure.
The evils of drink that I sea
in this city give me a sinking
feeling. Why do people so mat
their happiness and that of their
families. Dr, C. Anthony D'Al.
onzo, in his book, The Drinking
Problem and Its Control, enum-
erates eight different stages irk
the use of drink as follows: 1.
Social,Drinking, 2. Excuse drink-
ing. 3. The turning point, 4. Al-
cohol wins over will. 5. Cover-
up stage. 6. Worry stage. 7.
Phase of despair. 8. Rock-bot-
tom phase. He says, "The awa-
kening or reawakening to the
power of God is often explosive
at a particular point in the life
of many alcoholics. Religion, in
or out of Alcoholics Anonymous,.
has unquestionably saved more
drunks, lush drinkers, excessive
drinkers, and borderline cases
than any other factor."
Despite the allurements of the
colourful advertising, it is better
to avoid the fleet stage, social
drinking. "Be not drunk with
wine — but be filled with the
Spirit," Ephesians 5:18. Receiv-
ing Jesus Christ as our Lord and,
Saviour will bring happiness,

A bore is a man who, when
you ask how he is, tells you!
The worst lure Made, used
properly, can get you bass, and
aernetintee e, Very pod catch,
when the best lure made, used
wrong, will only get you skunked
slat, Therefore, how you use your
lore is at least 0 theme as irn-
portant as what the lure is.
There is but one single method
of using a lure that will always
get you bass, anywhere Well
over half the time it will get yOU
most bass except in the extreme
southern states, where it will do
best only perhaps a ,fourth of
the time, Here's that'always re-
liable method:
Use only plastic or wooden
plug, Spinning, or pasting size,
that won't float. Naturally, if it
will sink at all it will, given time,
go as deep as you want.
First, drop it over the side of
your boat, holding on your hand
about ten feet of loose line —
five feet is about the amount
you can measure between the
fingers of both hands, your arms
extended as wide as possible;
that's close enough for practical
purposes. Begin to count as the
plug begins to sink, and stop
when the ten feet of line is
taken down. That, of course,
gives you the sinking speed of
the plug,
Now cast, but don't begin to
reel, Instead, count at the same
speed as before until your plug
has gone down as deep as you
want it to go,
How deep should you let it
go? Begin quite shallow, perhaps
even with no pause, and keep
trying deeper and deeper until
you start catching them — then
it's well to try still deeper to
see if you don't catch still more
Note this well: In many places,
at many times, though you're get-
ting a good number of bass at a
certain depth, you'll get much
larger bass by fishing deeper.
Practically all the real old lunk-
ers, everywhere, are caught very
deep; rarely is one of them taken
on a surface or shallow running
lure.
Another sound rule of bass
fishing is — when you're not
catching bass, you're not fishing
deep enough; fish deeper and
you will. When bass are about
20 feet down, they won't come
up after a -shallow-running lure.
This is not exceptional; it's the
usual thing, with bass.
I get bass because I put my lure
down close .enough to them so
they will go after it, Regardless
of what I do with the lure down
there, I'll get some bass. But
there are days when even though
you're putting' the lure right
down among theme they're re-
luctant to strike it, Then, you can
get some, but if you want to get
many, you must tease them into
striking. Most experts agree that
slow fishing catches more fish
than fast retrieves — except tin-
der unusual conditions. When
bass are reluctant to strike, I ad-
vocate a speed of retrieve of one
reel turn every four seconds,
Yes, I know that's way slower
than you ever reeled before, and
you may have a hard time at first
making yourself hold down to
that, All but an extremely few
veterans sling and reel far too
fast, seemingly with a vague
notion that the more water they
get over in a day the more bass
they should catch. Which is the
Couldn't Let
The Oysters Scream!
Hour by hour, the shadow of
death came closer, and as it ap-
proached, Richard Pinney fired
off a dramatic telegram to his.
M.P. in Britain's House of Com-
mons, It read: "Five hundred
thousand lives in peril due to
government ineptitude,"
The lives Pinney was referring
to were those of 500,000 Portu-
guese seed oysters left without
a drink of water for seven days
because of a wildcat strike by
London dockers; another 24
hours and none of them would
ever live to see a slice of lemon,
An oyster importer, Pinney
had beds waiting for the imper-
iled bivalves in Butley Creek,
Suffolk, where he had planned
to fatten them up for eighteen
months before marketing them.
In desperation, he applied for
help from the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals, which bravely handed
down an official ruling on the
admittedly sticky question of how
to be cruel to an oyster. "The
oyster is ,a humble animal," a
senior official said, "and I should
say that the degree of suffering
of which it is capable must be
very modest. (But) we believe
in always giving the animal the
benefit of the doubt."
"Quite correct," said Pinney
who then took his case in person
to the striking dockyarders. "You
can actually hear, oysters," he
told them. "They whistle when
the tide goes down."
"Garn," said a docker. "Then
why don't oysters scream when
you bite them?"
"Easy,' said Pinney. "By the
time you bite an oyster it's just
about dead. The knife which
. opens its shell automatically cuts
its main muscle."
Impressed by this lore — and
by Pinney's plea that his oysters
were nearly "at the end of their
tether" — the dockers agreed to
unload his shipment. Shortly
thereafter, they voted to return
to work alter a ten-day., strike
that had idled 15,000 men and
tied up 60 ships.
By the time the men were back
on the job, the Pinney oysters
had been dunked in Butley
Creek. When last heard, they
were whistling happily as the
tide receded.
A lean, tanned executive of 45,
Foster last month was happily
fending off his merchandise as
he topped off his Febreary-to-
May season. Each day, the firm
had shipped some 200 portable
hives full of bees to clients all "
over the. Pacific Northwest and
as far north as the. Arctic Circle
in Canada. Each package con-
tained a queen with enough
workers (about 8,000) to start a
colony, and most went to farm-
ers, who keep bee colonies to
pollinate -crops and increase
yields. "Each spring my bees
work round the clock, first in
the almond and prune orchards,
then in the alfalfa and melon
fields," says Foster.
Foster also ships a half million
pounds of honey annually from
his Montana branch (where he
first stated in the bee business
with his wife twenty years ago).
But the real prestige and profit
items in his line are his special
brand of queens, sold in colonies
or individually (for $1.25 each),
A hybrid cross between "Cauca-
sian" and "Italian" strains, Fos-
ter's queens are also "double
grafted." First he destroys the
larvae in a queen-bee cell and
substitutes an older larva. The
older larva then has double the
supply of royal jelly (which can
make any bee egg grow into a
queen), grows "10 per cent larg-
er and 10 to 25 per cent more
fertile than average." The queen's
eventual productivity rate: Up to
2,000 eggs daily for two months
each year.
Foster, who saved enough from
his bee sales to send his five chil-
dten to college, figures that ag-
ricultural trends are working
with him. Where farmers in-
stalled one.or two bee colonies
per acre a few years ago, they
now average three or four, part-
ly because modern herbicides
and pesticides have killed off
many othdr natural pollinators.
"If it weren't for the honey bee,"
says Foster with conviction, "the
nation would soon be living on
nothing bit fish and grain."

today have to test almost 750
animals to root out a single case

years ago they could discover at
least one case in every 30 .ani-
mals tested.

Completion of the testing pro-
gram does not mean that the
fight will not be continued. It
will be. Nor does it mean that
bovine tuberculosis has been
completely wiped out. That day
probably will never come. But
what it does mean is that in the
years ahead there will be so little
of it left in Canada that it will
no longer be considered a serious

The now Avon potato — an
early variety — is gaining favor
in many sections of Canada and
the United States.
Released in 1958, it was devel-
oped in the National Potato
Breeding Program primarily be-
cause of the high-quality chips
that can be made from the tu-
bers directly after harvesting
them. •
The tubers of Avon are uni-
form, bright and smooth, have
excellent cooking qualities and
develop in time for the early
market. To avoid roughness, they
should not be let -grow oversize,
Avon is resistant to common
scab. The tops mature medium
to late in the season.
Seed of Avon is in short sup-
ply this spring. Growers with
Foundation stock are advised to
plant it for seed production as
there Will probably be a good
demand for seed in this variety
next year.

Oat Thrashing Time
Away Out West
Along in May of every year, if
we had had a seasonable spring
and fair oat crop, folks began to
get anxious about the weather.
Skies would be scanned for pos-
sible hail or windstorms, It was
oats-cutting time in the canyon
country.
The men on theplace were
working and patching and mend-
ing on the old reaper, and finally
they hitched up and took it into
the fieid. A few rounds would
be Made, then the decision would
come floating back to the women
et the house — the oats won't
do atall yet; they're away too
green. We might as well leave
them alone a few days till they
get a little eiper. . . . Filially the
grain was cut and stacked in
shocks over the field, and a man
could begin to worry about the
Thrasher.
The burning issue was: When
would it get to your place? They
were thrashing three lambs away
now; your neighbor had thirty
acres before they 'could come
your way.. , .
The day came at last when
Father would announce that he
looked foe them to pull into our
place tomorrow. Then the bustle
Was on. Sacks to hold the grain
must be mended, The granary
had to be swept up and Made
ready for the loose oats that
would be stored them Rands
had to be rounded up, and trips
to town made for supplies. —
Things Were humming around
the house too, We swept up
around the Vvashbetich outside,:
where the men would wash the
chaff and grime from their hands
and faces before coining in to eat.
Thrasher hands had to be served
food that would stick to their
ribs, so We picked over cup after
cup of pinto beats and put them
to soak overnight. Btit

A 40-year-old dream to see
the last of Canada's vast cattle
herds tested for bovine tubercu-
losis — will become a reality in
June, thanks to the persistence •
of the Health of Animals Divi-
sion, Canada Department of Ag-
riculture.
Some time late that month, the
last herd will be injected with
tuberculin developed in the de-
partment's Animal Pathology La-
boratories at Hull, Quebec.
Agriculture Minister Alvin
Hamilton and senior officials of
his department will be on hand
when the last tuberculin shot is
"fired" in the Peace River sec-
tion of northern Alberta.
The long, hard fight to eradi-
cate the disease had a shaky
start as early as 1894 but the
, Canadian parliament strongly
opposed the idea. Eradication
was begun systematically in 1919,
in many. cases over forceful pro-
tests by skeptical, cattlemen.
The struggle cost the govern-
ment more than $50 million in
compensation and administration
costs, To date it has involved
over 49,000,000 tests, resulting in
the discovery of some 567,000
cases of bovine tuberculosis,
Compensation a 1 o n e, paid to
farmers for loss of infected
cattle, has topped the $21 million

Dr. K. F. Wells, veterinary di-
rector general for Canada, be-
lieves the battle has been worth
every penny it cost,
In recent years the program
has been conducted smoothly
with full and complete coopera-
tion of producers, But in the
early days, progress was any-
thing but smooth,
This was partially because no
compensation was paid for reac-
tors when the. program was
launched. In addition, farmers
who asked to have their cattle
tested had to provide the Health
