The Brussels Post, 1949-2-16, Page 7Mountains We set out very early from Leth- bridge, in the chill of the dawn, to , meet the mountains, 'the sky was overcast; lint the air was buoyant and mild, the ponds fall of ducks, audience -posts ripped with feathery gargoyles, 'However, as I had set my heart of first seeing the Cana- dian Rorlc.ies M the morning sun, truly the tilliuing Mountains, as the Indians idled them, 1 was not appeased by lesser ,sights, how- ever delightful . . The car went down a hollow and tante up over a slight rise into the caudle of a -herd of -cattle. And there beyond the brown backs and the horns, where we took it for granted there would he only a bare plain, were magical apparitions. As suddenly an that, up out of the grass, a great procession of snow mountains stood before hs. All across the west they stood, and to the south of us they strode out into the plain. We had had no preparalior, whatever for thein. There were no foothills. Only brown grass and then these steep triangular escarpments, silver white, shadowed blue. This was the Great Overthrust —occurring when lateral pressust • pushed the ancient mountains for miles out over the young plain. There is no more dramatic sight in America and it seemed incredible Lurk that the clouds had lifted just at that particular moment. As we rlinve west toward the Waterton lakes, which are- just north of our Glacier Park, every mile was more spectacular. "This is the greatest way to sec the ranges," f.ce said. "You really get when you view then from the plains. You never see them from head to foot when you're in the midst of 'hent." The mountain masses were a deep 1)111111 blue with mantles of feather -white.

We just wouldn't know anything, that's what. For instance, if we didn't. have the Federal Government to tell us, how would we ever know the cost of living index bad gone down? And it has, you know—the F.G. says so—and it has figures to prove it. I forget just what fraction of one per cent it batt gone down but no doubt anyone who is curi- ous could get that information from any government kofficial. But do you know, as 1 heard the "good news" 1 wondered how many fig- ures it cost the taxpayers to have that cost of living index tabluated and broadcast to the people! * And after the decrease was an- trounced what happened? Tea went up in price, coffee went ttp; like- wise coal, milk, insurance premi- ants, motor and driving .permits, and even the price of admission to our local movie theatre. Also the rent on safety deposit boxes. 'There may also be a dozen other items that I have forgotten—it is bard to keep track of them all. Of course you might say tobacco, movies and safety deposit boxes don't belong to the cost of living. Maybe not according to government statistics, but stoney for these things all comes out of the fancily income. Partner says if he can't have his pipe of tobacco it is just too bad. • And of course we all enjoy the occasional movie. As for deposit boxes, they are handy places to keep insurance policies and your, "last (!11 and testament." * 4 t And now may I draw your atten- tion to what has gone down—as if you didn't know, that is, if you live on a farm. Eggs—that's what You notice farm' produce is always the first thing to drop in price. But the cost of laying mash hasn't gone down so that eggs .cost' just as muclr to produce now 50 they ever did although we get less for them. Personally, we are not grumbling at the price of eggs going down— we are only grumbling at the cost of producing them keeping up. \Ve would be quite happy with moder- ate prices for what we sell if we could buy what we need at a rea- sonable figure. The price of every- thing is far too high. !low married people in the twenty-five-doilar-a- week chess ever manage I don't know, No wonder there is a hue and cry for margarine.

Remember that wind last week? Eighty-one miles an hour—quite a little breeze. Around here it ripped off roofs, uprooted trees, turned over chicken houses, put electric power out of commission and shook people in their beds, We were lucky—got off with only a limb being blown off an elan tree, a few bricks off the chimney and hydro power disrupted for over five hours —during which time another calf arrived! Why our calves have to arrive during black -out periods is a mystery. Now the weather has changed again so that we need skates to get around. Just imagine, we have- n't had enough snow yet to pro- perly cover the ground. The wheat is looking pretty sick right now. We are beginning 10 wonder what will be the outlook for wheat and clover come spring because never before have we experienced a win- ter quite like this one. One matt, who has sold his farm, contends that the outlook for farming isn't very good for the next few years. We argue that if it isn't good for farming then it's a poor lookout for everyone, Anyway, you can be !lard up on a farm with less dis- comfort than you can anywhere else. And it is much less humiliat- ing to live in the country if you happen to slip 'on the ire. 1t TABLE TALKS tfr clam: And nears.

Golden Text: Ye have not chaseo me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you that ye should go and bring forth fyuit.—JohnlS:lti. Jesus chose Wren to be with ilirn int his ministry. The purpose is expressed in the invitation to Simon and Andrew, "Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." They were liter- ally to take uteri alive for Jesus Christ, Later, after spending s night in prayer he named twelve apostles, Among these were four fishermen and a despised publican. A simple rhyme helps us to remem- ber their names, "Peter and Andrew and Jame- and John— ...file men he most depended on; Philip and Barthulonurw, Matthew next, and Thomas, tea.; James the less and Paul the greater, Sinton the zealot, and Judas tit traitor." Impulsive Peter was a born leader. He was introduced to Jesus by his brother Andrew. Andrew wasn't one of the three who were with Jesus on some special occa- sions, but he made a good fourth. He drew attention to the lad's lunch which was used to feed the multitude and he helped to bring the Greeks to Jesus. John was a man of great affection. He gave us the best known verse of the Bible, John 3:16. His brother. James, was the first apostle to be martyred. Thomas has been railed the 'doubter' but perhaps it shonid be stressed that he had a scientific mind. He wanted the evidence. Philip was the practical man who looked at the crowd and said that two hundred pennyworth of bread wool(' rot snfice to tted then% Nathaniel or Bartholomew was the meditative n,an, the philosopher. Simon was associated with the Zealots. a political revolutionary party. To mar the picture 1s Judas, He was the treasurer, and did sonte- petty thieving. Finally he sold his Lord for thirty pieces of silver. His name is a byword. It was a representative group of men, They did not have wealth or social prestige but It was said of them, "They turned the world up- side down,' ' ACHING FEET PAINFUL LEGS If .your feet are "ximpls kllll a Son" or soar leak are hwollen and painful, massage alaht and moraine 50115 Buckley's White Rub.
