On reading7tWlysecpools.idse.slseetstear. the writer certain' mature faith. He is pointing out to Timothy, and to us, the way to gain such matureness of faith. Timothy bad a good start. His mother and grandmother before. him were living examples of Christian faith. And the finest testimony we have to the genu- ineness of their faith is that . it was transmitted to Timothy in early childhood: Faith is the gift f God and His most beautiful. way of giving it is through the channel of godly parents."' James Robb, writing in Arnold's Com- mentary says, "Another benefit appears as Paul testifies, 'From A child thou has known the holy scriptures: The learning process begins long before the letters of a printed page become ible to a child. One may be too- late in instructing a child in the word of God, but never too early. In early manhood he • is wel- comed and received as a 'son in the gospel' and thenceforth, is in fellowship with the brightest in- tellect and most dynamic spirit of his day, Incidentally, Chris- tian homes attract good company which, in turn, enriches life and faith immensely," Timothy had some advantages over Paul. He never had to un- learn any wrong philosophy, He never had to unload bitter preju-. dice.. He did not have to spend three years in Arabia, becoming. oriented in a new way of life, At an age comparable to that of Paul at conversion, Timothy is ready for a bishopric. Paul's faith has been tested. But ,in calm confidence he can say, "God hath not given us the spirit of fear.; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." What strength radiates from that statement. And there is no great- er strength. than the strength oe love. Christ's death on the cross. proves thise Paul faces death with the same type of fortitude. "I am now ready -" We need not be .whims peeing weaklings. • We can be strong through the faith of our Lord Jesus .

It will .also • be possible for snob to buy the car that has the number ha wants and later trans- fer the nuniber when he ,disposes of that ear.

As a result their milk is of inferior quality. Some keepers try to exercise their small herds by walking them through the streets of Ma- drid very early in the morning. But this annoys the city's street cleaners. Al t h o u g h charged at times with adulterating their dairy produce, most• of these cow own- ers are honest men, and proud, too, of their ancient family busi- ness as milk suppliers, They are resisting all attempts to evict them. To give up cow-keeping on skies where their families have done so for 300 years, means not only severing a greatly cherished tradition. Ti: means ruin. ' FOr most of these men are poor, They own only two or three cows or, at the most, a dozen. And if turned out of their city buildings, they would soon be destitute. They haven't enough money to buy farms in the countryside be- yond Madrid. They would lose i their dairy customers, and also those who depend on them for garden manure. The formula for broiler breed excellence is not as simple as the, three basic measurements familiar to students of the hu- man form. M. S. Mitchell, chief of pro- duction in the .Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture's poultry division, says 4.38, 2.24 and 195,5s ,are desirable statistics for any' broiler chick. They were reached by male 'chicks of a Canadian breeder at the recent central meat test conducted by the department for commercial broiler breeders. * * What do they mean? The body weight of the bird at nine weeks was 4.38 pounds. The amount of feed required to put on each pound of body weight was 2.24 pounds. The percentage, of the first figure in relation to the second gives PE - performance efficiency - which is a way of comparing the birds' ability to convert-feed to meat. * * * Most producers are not satis- fied with such meagre informa- tion. They want to know' the mortality rate (3.64 per cent in this case), time taken to reach the 3-lb. weight (49 days), the percentage of grade A carcasses (92.5), and uniformity of the stock. The T 195.5 PE was the highest recorded in five years of tests, says Mr. Mitchell. The females in the last test also reached a new high. 4, 4' * These records, would indicate that Canadian broiler breeders should have nothing to fear from competition with United States breeders, he added. The tests were entered by eight commer- cial stocks, all from Ontario two of them being of U.S. breed- ing and rated highly south of the border. The U,S. stocks stood third and sixth'in. the eight en- tries when male and female re- sults were combined and com- pared on the PE basis, * .* * • Producers not 'entirely wrap- ped up in performance effici- ency' would be interested in an- other Canadian entry ,which had no mortality and statistics of 4.23, 2.27 and 186,3, said Mr. Mit- chell. Females of the breed which headed •the male PE rating had no mortality either. Their sta- tistics were; 3,32, 2.35 and 141.3, the. PE rating being second best in the female classes. * Female classes of the eight coinmeecial entries took 10 .clays longer than the 'males to reach 3 lb. and Were almost 1 lb. lighter at 9 weeks. Test were based on 300 eggs of each entry, from which 120 Male and 120 female chicks were Used. * * * FLOWERS FOR A FAIR LADY - Mrs JaCqueline Kennedy smiles at an Indian boy who presented flowers to her during a visit to a boys' home in New Delhi. Regardless of the type of structure, good housekeeping is essential, Mr. Blakely stresses * * Special care is required in the newer pole barns, especially if they are located near refuse dumps or o t h e r breeding grounds and are serviced by un- derground plastic hoses. Serious flooding can result If rats cut the hoses. *. * The introduction of Warfarin has helped the war on rats, Mr. Blakely notes, Warfarin, , use d either . as a feed additive or Mixed in water, is especially effective if the buildings are not in use. Since no other feed is available, the rats consume the poison readi- ly. To be. effective, it 'met be eaten aver a period Of, several days. If the buildings are being used, the poisoned feed or water should be placed in sheltered runways. A long, wide board propped against a wall in a darkened area makes a suitable runway for the rodents. 8, * * A mixture of 40 per cent plas- ter of paris and 60 per, cent fine- ly ground feed or flour is also an effective rat poison. T h e technique is to place a quart sealer, one-quarter full of the mixture, an its side. Rats will enter and eat the contents, but hens will not put their heads in the container. Once rats have been brought under control, continued vigi- lance is needed to prevent their return. Planning a party, the wives decided to wear dresses to match the hdsband's hair.

Snob Appeal in License Plates Snobs in England are already beginning to lay plans to get around' the order of Ernest Marples, Minister of Transport, stopping the "prestige number pldte transfer system," The minister aims to make it almost impossible in future for snobs, or indeed others, to match their cars' registration numbers with their personal initials. But snobs are not despondent. Almost is not quite. The move will, of course, make personaliz- ed numbers more desirable still. The money value, or cost, of personalized registration in the past has been but 4.5 ($14), To get an old-two-letter, one- figure number-3.M 1, JM 2, etd, -the snob has simply had to find out through a local licensing au- thority what has happened to the car originally bearing the initial and figure he wanted., if it had been broken up he could then pay a fee and 'have the registra- tion transferred to his new car. The comedian Harry Tate even owned a one-letter, one-figure number-T 8. An antique registration has al- ways had more appeal than a re- latively new one for obvious reasons. it suggests that either the number or the driver has been in the family for genera- tions. (Harry Tate's was genuine -he had been one of the first motorists in England.) If, however, an apt later num- ber Was still being driven about,- the snob could arrange a trans- fer, also for a fee, 'when the Machine was sold or destroyed. Or he could, if he wished,- per- suade the current owner to sell or destroy it instantly. Many have done so, Work for' licensing authorities was not at first very onerous. Recently, however, with the rapid spread of status, authorities have had to eepend a great deal of time searching through old records, Out of sheer courtesy. At the 8a1116 time criminals have been taking advantage of the courtesy in order" to transfer imitebere front wrecked cats not to prestige cars but to stolen cars,. writes John. Allah' May in..the Christian Science Monitor. "priding the transfer arrange- ments will safeguard the regis- tration system and save adinitt- istratiVe time 'and costs," the' Ministry of Transport explains, "The arrangement for transfer- ring a registration number from a car of which en owner is dtss posing to one he is acquiring will continue," it adds, ""under certain conditions.° It will thus be possible,, if Conditions .are fulfilled (they '0S0 Orbiting Solar Satellite ,/ z.

It brought to mind the times when a young fellow's state of prosperity could, be known just by listening when he walked down the street! - When a. citizen of Montana', Wyoming, or Nevada, opens his purse he knows instantly what the state of his finances is, Never is he made unhappy by thinking a one is a ten, or that that large bundle he has in his hand. is probably only fifteen or twenty dollars at the most. A silver dollar is open and honest and gives him the news, good or bad, right away, Hard money is dirt-resistant. It gains more polish per year of circulation than it does dirt, It rolls cheerfully from hand to hand with a sound solidity which should be a characteristic'of all dependable money, I never hesi- tate to give a child a Silver dol- lar as a gift or for a little 'spend- ing money, but I find myself hunting around my wallet for a clean paper dollar for him and usually cannot come up with one. Here in the East the traditional worth of hard money is not gen- erally known. A' member of my family, while here on a trip from the West, went into a nearby shop. for a midmorning snack. When she had finished she laid a silver dollar on the counter. The wait- ress would not even pick it up, so positive was her assertion that it was not money. She was backed up in this opinion by several pa- trons who crowded around, Quite a discussion took place, not a little of which was intended to point out the unreliability of any- one who would try to pass such money. Finally a more informed gentleman came to her rescue and succeeded in getting the waitress 'to accept the silver dollar. Gems. Too Valuable Hard, Cush The Harder The Betted The writer of the recent letter tie the Christian Science Monitor entitled "Hard, Cash", if he is pa- tient, may stew hear some of the reasons why the Westerner Is so attached to "real" money. Did he ever hang up his stock- ing on Christmas F.ve and find, after he had exteeeted all the ther contents, a beautiful, .smooth, round five-dollar gold piece down in the very toe? I have, Does the . he remember childish joy he had in such a gift, entirely apart from. any mone- tary value? I do. Was he ever sent to the store to buy meat or groceries with a luscious ten-dollar gold piece tightly clasped in a proud little. hand? I have gone op such an errand, not once, but many times, and so did all the other children. of my age at that time. Did. he ever stand on a school- house platform at the end of a "-speaking" contest and receive, While in a state of the most deli- eleus joy, a reddish-gold coin as, • first prize? Many of my older friends did. 'Hard money can be cleaned and made as bright and attrac- tive as new, as was the custom for years of one hotel in that part of the State Of Washington knoWn as The Inland Empire. • When a friend came home from A trip, with his pockets and/or purse filled with bright, gleam- ing silver dollars, all looking brand new, you could walk up to and name the hotel where, lie stayed. One act of the New Deal which riled some Westerners was re- moving our treasured gold coins from circulation and also made it unlawful to awn them. We felt it a personal insult to have to use "shadow" money -whose only worth was the fact that it was backed by our western gold stored in New York -City or later ,Fort Knox, Hard money means solid worth 'to the son or daughter of the West, It comes from the ese,e,, the mountain country and carries. with it some. of the 'stability and firmness of purpose of a mountain, It is not made of flimsy, deteriorating paper, but of true metal whose value is en- hanced by the very severity of the struggle to wrest it from its natural environment. • One who has watched men go down the mine shafts to work in the earth over a 'mile deep; or who has seen the ore trains at night snaking their way like live ing jewels. up the mountain side to the bins where the Ore is dumped; or' who has stood in the mills watching the roiling and boiling of the concentrate as the gangue attempts to resist the compulsion of the reagents 'to wrest the good ore from • the worthless sand and rock; who has walked by roasting furnaces so hot you can hardly breathe but where men work all day .earning their living, or stood at the last stage -of extraction and watched the gigantic' ladles pour out the liquid, molten, red-dish- gold stream of copper, silver and. gold, hot, alive, vivid; such a one, I say, need not answer .as to why he prefers hard td paper ,dollars, writes Katherine Lovcring Coles erdale, When , a citizen of Montana To Be Insured The world's largest jewel col- lection is so valuable that it can- not be insured in terms of money. It lies safe in the vast vault of a bank in Teheran, the capital of Persia. A recent report revealed that this great collection has not only never ,been completely valued but also that its pieces have ne- ver been counted or appraised by jewel experts. They include great numbers of loose gems whch lie on plates "piled like beans on a platter' under glasss enclosed, velvet-bot- tomed cases," wrote a reporter recently.
