The Seaforth News, 1950-04-27, Page 7Cheery Cherry Blossoms—Late but lovely, Washington's famed cherry blossoms burst into bloom—and immediately the change- able -spring weather subjects them to near -freezing temperatures In Could Happen In Your Holme The following incident, based on an actual happening, was re- ported recently by a well known safety specialist. "What did you think of the dis- cussion tonight, Mary?' "Very good. I wish more people were concerned about accidents. But so few people get to these meetings to discuss how to live Safely." e "Maybe you missed one point," Larry chuckled. "Remember the speaker said everybody needs preaching to about safety." "Oh, I suppose that's right. But we haven't had an accident for yearn. Except the time Mother fell on the stairs last fail, and she's getting old." "Nellie, just for the fun of it let's looks at our stairs when we get home. We'll check 'em with the check sheet we got tonight" At home, harry got out the check sheet. "Read off the items, Nellie," he said. "I'll check them." "Isn't this rather silly, Larry? 'We know our stairs are safe. We walk on them every day, and Mother is the only one who has fallen on then,." "Ave, come on anyway. Let's check them just for fun." "Well, all right. First item is: Stairs well lighted so each stair is easily seen." Larry walked up the stairs, then walked part way up. "Okay." Then: Hand rail sturdy and well constructed; at least two spindles to each step from the band rail; carpeting well secured; landing at least three feet square. "Larry, what does this one mean? 'The rise plus the run of each stair is 16 to 18 inches, with the run at least 8 inches'." "The run is the step tread Less the part that sticks out. The rise is the distance from the top of one step to the top of the next" Larry started treasuring. "These Are 10 -inch run and 7/ -inch rise," he said. Then, at the first step above the landing, he asked, "Where did you mother fall?" "Just above the landing as she was coming down," "Nellie, your mother wasn't just clumsy with age. This step has an 54 -inch rise and the first step be- low the landing has a 61/4 -inch rise. It's a wonder more of us haven't fallen here. Cone to think of it, I've stumbled many times going up these stairs," Sure, it's important to clear stairs of trash, stops, brooms, etc. But it's just as important to make sure they're constructed safely and correctly. Larry and Nellie removed the hazard they found by raising the landing three-fourths of an inch, Well -Dressed Man Pretty Corny If Frank L, Teuton is followed by a pack of pecking pullets wher- ever he goes, he won't be sur- prised. He'll just chalk it up to his suit. Because Teuton is sporting a neat suit made of corn. It looks like an ordinary tan gabardine, but it is 100 per cent corn fiber fabric. And his light grey hat is corny, too. Teuton and his suit were the hit of the 38th annual Farm and Home Week program. The fiber from which the garment was made was developed by the Bureau of Agri- culture and Industrial Chemistry. "The new 100 per cent corn fiber fabric is moth -proof and mildew - proof," Teuton, who is head of the bureau's .information division, ex- plained. The corn fiber is made from a protein called zein, which is ac- tually a waste product of corn starch. Many wives envy their husbands for being so happily tnarricd. — Ey Harold Arnett HOOKS MADE OF NTOREVFDRIVEN INTO OF SION MAKE PRO- -DUCE SIGNS TO BE HOOKED ON FENCE EASILY CHANGEABLE, CAN REFILIER yy+ SPOT AN BENREPILLE FROM BOTTLES SPOUT.

Golden Text: But let judgment run down as waters, and righteous- ness as a might stream.—Amos 5:24. To -day's lesson begins with a fine touch of irony. Antos is saying in effect. "If you go to church, you can sin. If you go to church some more you may multiply your trans- gression, especially if you are gener- ous in bringing your sacrifices and. tithes." Of course he means nothing of the kind. You can't buy your way to heaven. "Hate the evil, and love the good and establish judgment in the gate.—/ ]tate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings I will not accept them,—But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream." God hates hypocrisy, People who put on a show of being religious and yet are living contrary to the ex- press commands of God as set forth in the Holy Scriptures are nauseat- ing to Him. A seven-day week re- ligion is the only kind that will pass muster with God. If there is anyone who is smaller than a hypocrite, it is the man who tries to hide behind one. There are a few counterfeit ten dollar bills in circulation, but l do -not despise all ten dollar bills. Because these are people who pose as Christians and yet live sinfully is not an argument against Christianity. But before you profess to be a Christian, be sure that Christ has come into your life and that you are living a life that is well -pleasing in His sight. We may ask ourselves the question of the song: "Do we live so close to the Lord to -day, Passing to and fro on life's busy way, That the world in us can a likeness see To the man of Calvary? As an open book they our lives will read, To our words and acts giving daily heed; Will they be attracted, or turn away From the Christ we love to -day? Chorus Can the world see Jesus in ane? Can the world see Jesus in you? Does your love to Him ring true? And your life and service, too? Can the world see Jesus in you?" Overheard; "Congratulations on the happiest day of your life." But I don't get married till tomorrow." "I know." Love—IVIcore Deadly Than Drink hove is seventeen tittles more deadly than drink, according to the latest Paris suicide statistics. For every person who ode hie own life because of alcohol seventeen do so because their "affairs of the heart" have gone wrong. Evert so love is one of rite least spectacular reasons why some French men and women decide that life is not worth living. A musician hanged himself because, following an operation, he was unable to carry the big drum in a local band. A dress designer took poison be- cause, at the age of forty, she was getting fat. A taxi-driver deliberate- ly drove his t;ehicle into a river to demonstrate his indignation when an American walked away without tip- ping hint. Rxperte, juggling with statistics, have uncovered many interesting facts about suicide--sontc explain- able, others not. Highest suicide rates in the world are found in Ger- many, Austria, Switzerland, Czecho. slovakia, the Scandinavian countries, and Japan, The lowest are in Spain, Italy, and Ireland. More people seem to commit sui- cide in May and June than at any other me of year, The rate a low point in. December, Also, timore people the commit suicidehits in the morning, from 6 a.nt. to noon, than at any other time of day. Although me suicide rate is high- est among the Teutonic races, there is no indication that the desire to kill oneself is a racial characteristic, and therefore inherited. Rather, it is more reasonable to assume that suicide is a cultural characteristic. In Japan, for instance, it is quite in order for a noble to kill himself by hari-kiri, which is probably the most painful form of suicide. There is absolutely no stigma attacked to the act. It is even a forst of heroism, and may be done for such a trivial reason as a protest against govern- ment policy One important factor affecting the suicide rate is the existence of laws against it in certain countries. In most of continental Europe there are no such laws. If you want to take your own life you are wel- come to do so. But in Canada, the U.S.A. and most Empire countries you may be sent to prison if you fail in the attempt. Sometimes the motives behind suicide are difficult to determine, but much is learned front the notes left behind by those who take their own 1ife..These generally mention such things as ill -health, financial problems, drug addiction, pride, dis- honour. At the sante time, however, cur- ious paradoxes occur. There was the ease of the man who was so terrified at the prospect of en impending ap- pendictis operation that he shot himself. Sometimes people who have a fear of high places will jump to their death. They become obsessed with the idea that safety lies on the street below or at bottom of a cliff, and choose the quickest way to get there. Some of the most baffling sui- cide cases have been traced to such a cause. And the RELIEF iS LASTING For fast, prolonged relief from headache get INSTANTINE.
