jam were scattered. underfoot.
Every single one was broken, lee
to the momentary silence came
stolid Bella's voice, offering com-
fort, "Jam can be made again,"
Mrs. ar
e
almost 'sobbed,
"There are Ile more berries."
Said Bella, "Jock and jean
.jarvie hoe them still on their
bushes,"
Annie rounded on her in ,ex-
esperatien, "Why didn't you tell
us before?"
The answer was, naive, "I want
my mither to hae the sale."
This explanation was so utterly
frank that Annie's annoyance
evaporated and she turned to
Mrs. Ramsay, "We Can sail over
for them in my boat. The wind is
south — that means a'quiek skim
both ways." Then to the maid,
"You'll have to clean this mess,
Bella Muir, It'll serve you right,"
"But, Miss Annie — the joiner
"We'll stop there on our way."
When they .got back Bella had
done the job and gone. Soon af-
terward the second batch of jam
was on the stove, There were
again 10 jars, although less fruit
had been purchased. There had
been no spilling over because
Annie had slipped in a tiny
.wedge of butter each time the
mixture rolled too near the rim
of the pan. With the 10 on the
table, she said, "I'll be in tomor-
row — for theestoring."
On the morrow Mrs. Ramsay
met her with a flustered air. The
"dear provost" had sent a tele-
gram, He was arriving on the
first boat and bringing a guest.
She had prepared the spare room.
She was making lunch. The jam
would have to,be discoVered at.;
ter all, Annie replied, "No, it
won't, I'll hide it for you."
Within minutes the jars were
in a neat row on the high shelf
and Annie was again in the kit-
chen holding one and saying,
"Want to serve some of it today?"
"Oh, yes. There's a crystal dish
in the press. Will you — please?"
As she carried the dainty item
to the dining room Annie glanced
from the window and saw Willy
MacKim's horse-drawn landau,
with two passengers, halting on
the road. She called to Mrs. Ram-
say, "Take off your apron Here
they come. 'Bye."
Then she hurried out, round
the house, through the gate into
Drumwiddrie Wood and so home
— aglow with the good feeling of
having helped a friend. —By
Mabel Grey Gehring in the Chris-
tian Science Monitor.
"Oh Annie, lee% this too bad?
I've just learned that the clear
peevost is so fond of raspberry
jam and. I can't find any berries
In the village shops."
Mrs etemsay, standing et An-
rile'e front entrance, was talking
rather excitedly, She knew little
of household arts, For 20 years.
She had been companion to a
etch relative and together they
had roamed the WoeId, Yet her
inner desire had never been for
luxurious travel, but just for a
home of her own. Since becom-
ing the bride of the Scottish is-
teed's mayor, she had had her
wish, There was so much she
didn't k'how, however, that to her
young neighbor she often went
for advice. Annie replied, "It's a
bit late for them, but there may
be a few somewhere."
"I ken where there are some,"
put in Bella Muir, the "servant
lass," unexpectedly. She had
opened the door but not yet re-
tired from the scene, She went
on, "My mither has a fine crop o'
them ower on. Bracken Isle,"
"You hear that?" exclaimed
Annie. "Let's get them tomor-
row."
"You'll go with me? How darl-
ing of you."
The following morning accord-
ingly they were on the pier when
the steamer pulled alongside. As
they crossed the gangway, Cap-
tain. MacNab hailed them laugh-
ingly, with a nod at the basket
each was carrying, "Are ye off on
a picnic?"
Annie laughed back, "No, we're
on business, Tell, you about it
later,"
On the return trip the baskets
were filled with luscious crimson
fruit. "Jam for the provost," she
stated. "Have a taste."
The captain did so muttering
with a smile, "That man gets
spoiled. No wonder he looks
contented." Mrs. Ramsay flushed
happily.
The jam was made next day.
Soon after twelve o'clock Annie.
Went over to give assistance, and
found that none was needed. The
jars were already filled and even
sealed. She remarked, admiring-
ly, "You must have had an early
start."
"I did, Maggie is off on holiday
while the provost is away so
there was no waiting for her to
finish her work, But Annie —
only 10 jars. I lost so much with
the stuff boiling over."
"Well, I'll help you store what's
left, Where is it to go?"
"In the scullery. Top shelf —
raid hidden from view."
"Why the secrecy?"
"Oh, the*dear provost is like a
boy in some respects. He'd have •
this lot gobbled up in no time,
But if he doesn't see them all at
once."
Annie chuckled. "Good plan-
ning. I'll get the stepladder,"
It was just outside, so she re-
entered immediately and propped
it against the wall. Then a series
of small incidents happened
swiftly, Bella appeared in the
doorway, saying, "The joiner
wants me to bring word where
the wee bit fence is to be set
up." At that moment Mrs. Ram-
say was coming toward them car-
rying the laden tray, Her heel
caught on the edge of one of the
paving stones which formed the
floor, She pitched forward with
a startled cry — and 10 jars of

Blonde and trig in a neat blue
uniform, stewardess Simonne
Christmarm was the very sym-
bol of modern travel as Air
France flight No, 011, a jet air-
liner, eight hours out of Paris
taxied to a halt last March 21 at
New York City's International
(Idlewild) Airport, A shapely 5-
feet-6 and 130 pounds, Simonne,
36, had been tabbed as the air-
line's next chief stewardess.
Then U.S. Customs Service of-
ficers sprang a surprise inspec-
tion. Simonne, they said, was
trying to hide a plastic bag be-
hind a filing cabinet but it had
burst, and had dusted her Air
France blue with a telltale white
powder — heroin, Women in-
spectors searched her, found an-
other plastic bag in her bra, two
more in her girdle — a total of
4Y2 pounds of "the horse," worth
about $500,000 at retail ,sale to
American addicts,
Simonne told a tearful tale of
passion and crime and betrayal.
She said a Mr. Mueller, who
described himself as being in the
flower business in California, met
her at a New York hotel coffee
shop, dated, dined, and wined
her. He asked that she bring in
some packages, offered her $200
which she rejected, "He told me
it was essence of perfume," she
said. Narcotics sleuths, unhappily
for Simonne, never could find a
Mr, Mueller.
Simonne wanly 'recounted her
story to a jury of three women
and nine men last month in a
Federal district ' court in. New
York, Her defence attorney did
his gallant best with the material
at hand, calling her "a dupe and
a fool, the victim of narcotics
gangsters, of fiendish conspira-
tors, of an international smug-
gling ring." But it was a narra-
tive out of the Gallic wars be-
tween the sexes and not at all
calculated to impress a New
York City jury.
Simonne was convicted. Fail-
ing to make $25,000 bail, she was
sent back to jail. Sometime this
month she will learn her penalty:
No fewer than five years, per-
haps as many as twenty.
"I wanted to do Mr. Mueller a
favor," she said. "Not for money,
For love."

People are known by their
tongue. When a tongue is
described as biting, wicked, slan-

structive, it isn't really the
tongue that is being described, it
is the person. "For out of the
abundance of the heart the
mouth epeaketh." Matthew 12:34.
James speaks very strongly
about the evil which the tongue
may do. "The tongue is a fire,
a world of . . . it de-
lieth the whole body, and setteth,

it is set on fire of hell," In can

The sins of the past must be
forgiven. Only Jesus Christ can
do that. The power of sin must
be broken. With a renewed
heart and faith in Jesus Christ
the individual wants to glorify

tongue will be a servant unto

J06 Nine Cents An Hour
For Farm Labour
"Migratory f r in labourers
move restlessly over the face of
the land. They neither belong to
the land, nor does the land be-
long to them . . . They are the
children, of misfortune."
In these poignant terms, Presi-
dent Truman's Commission on
Migratory Labour described
America's migrant farm . work-
ers in 1951. Today, ten years la-
ter, a million native and foreign-
born "children of misfortune"
still wander across the U.S., in
bedraggled caravans, from one
ill-paid job to another. Their
plight, which plagued the Tru-
man and Eisenhower Adminis-
trations/ (a similar report was
presented to Mr. Eisenhower),
now troubles the New Frontier,
prompting Labour Secretary
Arthur J. Goldberg to call the
problem "a long festering sore
in our society and in in our
economy."
These words are strongly sup-
ported by facts uncovered by a
Senate subcommittee during
months of hearings on these "ex-
cluded Americans," so-called be-
ceeise they are not protected by
Federal wage and child-labour
laws or welfare regulations.
Ranging into states from Florida
to • California, the subcommittee
has come upon some unpleasant
discoveries.
At Belle Glade,. Fla,, for ex-
ample, *tear steaming. swampy
Lake Okeechobee, entire families
were living in rooms 12-feet
square; in East Mendota, Calif.,
near Fresno, the subcommittee
found workers living in "incre-
dible structures" without sani-
tary facilities while their chil-
dren played in junk-yard litter.
But conditions such as these
are not limited to Florida and
California. Last month attention
was focused on the East, where
migrants also dwell in shanties
and toil for substandard wages.
A House Labour subcommittee
in New York City heard some
unsavory case histories, For ex-
ample:
Betty Jean Johnson, 52, who
migrated from Virginia to work
eighteen hours a day, six days
a week, on a potato farm in
Riverhead, N.Y, for $16 at the
most. Sometimes she didn't even
get paid what she was owed. Her
crew leader (the go-between for
the farmer and the migrant)
charged her $3 a week for rent
and $10 a week Tor food in a
place called Griffin Path, in
Riverhead, where 75 migrants
lived cheek -by - jowl, getting
drinking water from a single
spigot,. When sub-committee,
chairman Herbert Zelenito, a
cigar-chewing Manhattan Demo-
crat, asked if she ever tried to
collect the money owed her, Miss
Johnson answered In soft, South-.
ere tones: "What's the use?"
The strangest crop in Canada—
and perhaps the most dangerous
— is being harvested regularly in
a small Canada Department of
Agriculture laboratory in Hull,
Que., just across the river from
Ottawa.
The crop _is tubercle bacillus,
the active agent of tuberculosis
from which the department
manufactures all, the tuberculin
used in Canada to fight bovine
tuberculosis.
• • •
Like other crops grown on the
department's experimental farms
across the country, it is seeded,
cared for an carefully harvested
on schedule. A new crop is
"planted" every month and each
crop requires 70 days to mature.
The ripe culture, growing on
top of a specially prepared broth
in glass flasks, resembles brown
sugar in appearance.
It, is 'nurtured in a tiny, vault-
like room. The room or incubator,
is heated to blood temperature
(98,6°F.) and reeks of the new
growth of tubercle bacilli.
*
The lethal garden is in one
of the three small laboratories
at the CDA's Animal Pathology
Laboratories used to manufacture
tuberculin. Dr. F.J.G. Plummer,
director of the laboratories, says
his team of scientists are still
improving upon the tuberculin
discovered by Dr. R. Koch, a
German scientist, in 1890. They
have made many changes in the
culture medium and the particu-
lar strain of bacillus they are
using now is referred to as "Bo-
vine 110". From it is preduced
all the tuberculin used to test
,cattle in Canada for bovine
tuberculosis.
• • .
"It's the same as growing a
lawn," Dr. Plummer sale, "You
must add the nutrients,"
Head man on his team of sci-
entists is Dr, Herman Konst, a
veterinary graduate of Budapest,
who has been growing tubercle
bacilli and developing tuberculin
all his adult life,
Both he and Dr, Plummer
came to the Animal Pathology
Laboratories in 1926. At the time,
recalls Dr. Plummer, he was only
a student, ,
Maria M. Schingh, a graduate
nurse who has assisted Dr. Konst
for the past 10 years, said the
unusual crop is highly danger-
ous. But every care is taken to .
protect employees, and despite
the lethal nature of their "larm-
ing", there have been no acci-
dents. *
"We make a 50-litre batch of
bovine tuberculin each month,"
she said, "To grow the tubercle
bacillus, a small: amount of broth
(a synthetic medium of sterilized
distilled water and a mixture of
chemicals) is poured' into each of
a dozen small flasks, The broth
is then seeded with live tubercle
bacillus, cotton plugged, and left '

A 56 litre batch? she Said, gives'
10,000 cc's of concentrated tuber-
culin. For issue, the tuberculin is
bottled in 3 cc. glass containers,
80 bottles to a carton, At the rate
of 1/10 cc. to an intra-dermal
dose, there are 30 doses to a bot-
tle. • *
The tuberculin is shipped to
all parts of Canada for use in
the government's fight to con-
trol bovine tuberculosis, In the
38 years that the department has
concentrated on wiping out the
disease, the tuberculin has been
used in some 49 million tests of
Canadian cattle, The tests have
uncovered more than 567,000
cases of tuberculosis. Tuberculin
has cut the level of the disease
from 6.023 per cent in 1928-39 to
0.087 today. Aid For Sectarian
Schools Dangerous
• • •
Dr. Konst said the laboratory
also grows a human strain of
tubercle bacillus and from it
makes a second type of tubercu-
lin. This tuberculin, he said, is
more potent than the bovine tu-
berculin and, when used, may
bring out reactors not discovered
by the bovine type.
The Hull laboratories, said Dr.
Plummer, is the only agency in
Canada developing and distribut-
ing tuberculin,
He said that he and his staff
had never calculated the cost of
the tuberculin, but that it "prob-
ably is terrific." However, he
added, the cost of producing the
tuberculin in a government lab-
oratory with government scien-
tists handling the operation, was
only a drop in the bucket com-
pared to what the cost would be
if the tuberculin had to be pro-
duced commercially.
*
It was exciting news, he said,
that the department of agricul-
ture in the next few weeks would
wind up its program for testing
all cattle in Canada foe bovine
tuberculosis. The program was
launched 38 yearS ago and will
be concluded in June when the
last herd will be tested in the
Peace River district of Northern
Alberta,
But, he said, his laboratories
would continue to manufacture
Americans are fighting against
influences that segregate them
into groups which have no
means of communicating with
each other,
The United States has been
looked u.p,on as the great melt-
ing pot, whereby peoples of all
races and religions were amal-
gamated. But there is a proposal
now which could undo all that
has been accomplished.
That is the one which would
provide federal financial aid for
sectarian schools.
All that would be necessary
to put most of the school chil-
dren of the nation into separate
compartments, each suspicious
or worse than suspicious of all
the others, would be for the gov-
ernment to start subsidizing sec-
tarianism.
We can think of no more effi-
cient way to make all the little
Methodists think that they are
different from all the little Bap-
tists or all the little Mormons
or all the little Catholics than
to put each in a Separate group.
For this much is certain: If
federal aid is voted to sectarian
schools it will not be merely to
the sectarian schools which exist
today, It will be to the schools
which will be quickly establish-
„ed to take advantage of "free
federal funds.” — Independent
