It may help to writeot to Anne Hirst, Address her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont. PASSING THE TIME An attractive girl and a plain, middle-aged spinster were waiting for a bus. "Have a cigarette?" asked the girl, opening her case. "What! Smoke in public?" ex- claimed the woman, shocked to her depths. "Why, I'd sooner kiss the first man who cause down the street!" "So would I," retorted the girl. "But have a cigarette while you're waiting!" Not Snowdrifts, But "Mold -Drifts" — This model "town", built on a large culture plate by GE engineers at Nelo Park, was left for a few days in a warm, humid atmosphere. Mold began to grow— the same kind Mama sometimes finds on stale bread. But a small germicidal lamp was left shining on the model. No mold grew where the lamp's ultraviolet light shone, but in the shadows cast by the buildings and trees, green and white mold grew 'apidly and thickly. The effect was the sante as in late winter, when snowdrifts in the shadows remain unaffected by the sun. So the "snowdrifts" in this picture are really "mold -drifts."

Several times I have wondered what would happen had we tried since spaniels are essentially bird dogs. Honey proves it—she simply ignores squir- rels but she chases sparrows, pig- eons and starlings as if to the manner born. So what would she have done with chicken? Partner says Honey has recently developed other habits so he has nicknamed her "his great protector." Recently we have had two little heifers in the backyard and whenever Part- ner comes up from the barn they cone running towards him. Honey, apparently, thinks they are out to attack Partner—so Honey puts the calves to rout—or tries to. . \Well, we still haven't got chick- ens but we did move twenty old hens from the barn pen over to the' brooder house. Since then I have been taking Honey with nie when I feed the hens—right into the pen itself. She sits just inside the door, after being told to "stay there," and she watches those hens with a mournful, curious eye. She is only too glad to corse out when I do . I suppose she thinks "what's the, good of going in there if I'm not allowed to make the feathers fly?" However, I think it is pretty good training. If, and when, we do have chickens again, Honey will have learned by that time that certain kinds of bird life are not meant for her to chase or 'play around with, We moved the old hens to make room for some New Hampshire pullets which we bought from a neighbour. They are nice birds—so tame and quiet you would think each one had been raised as a pet, Funny the difference there is in the different breeds of birds. Speak- ing from out own experience we find Plymouth Barred Rocks arc good, general purpose birds, al- though they feather slowly and go broody very quickly. . White Leghorns aro nervous bid- dies and fly all over the pen if they are startled in any way. Even scattering the scratch grain will often scare theist, They lay well but are not much good as table birds, Light Sussex feather quickly, get to be a good weight at maturity — and are the most persistent broody liens I ever knew. We had theist once—and once was enough. N.H.X.B.R. hybrids are quiet, good layers and not too heavy or too broody. New 1-1 ampshires—their peculi- arities we have yet to find out as this is the first time we have tried them, \\•ell, I suppose the weather for the holiday week -end did not .please anyone but the farmer—and we certainly needed rain. Personally _ I thought anything was better than that spell of unseasonable heat. 85 in October—that surely is one for the record! Incidentally on the hottest day our supply of winter coal arrived. Bob was home for the weekend but daughter and cousin Betty went to Buffalo. Sunday night a friend and I went to the 60th Anniversary service of a village church where this friend of mine was brought up. The church was packed to the doors, morning and night, despite the fact -of it being a terrible day—cold, windy and wet. Somehow the spirit of by -gone days seemed to be there — days when the little village church was the centre of community life. Many who had once belonged to the con- gregation but had since moved away were back for Anniversary Sunday. Friends who had not seen each other in years met and talked together once again. The special preacher was excellent. Speaking of the way in which different people meet adversity he quoted words to this effect—"The greatest loss is wasted sorrow. It is terrible to have paid so great a price and bought nothing." He was referring to those who have lost someone very dear to them and who spend the rest of their lives nursing their grief , , "wasted sorrow." \Ve have all come in contact with just such persons, haven't we? Fortun- ately there are others, who through their own sorrow, have developed a greater sympathy for their feI- lowmen—arid greater opporl unity for service. For Lengthy Use Garden markers are now being made in Vinylite plastic and can be reused often. Said to hold their shape in hot or. wet weather, mark- ers are held by a 14 -inch noncor- rosive steel support, while the label is tilted for easy reading. Resistant to vegetable oils, kerosene, chemi- cals, etc., labels can also be attached to seed or bulb trays, or wooden garden stakes. 1011 0901112313 atTh4ttGNeN.3'l�i. ii41414 nada Savings' B[ids ii T - . , because you can buy up to $5,000 worth instead of $1,000 as hitherto.

The Hebrews in Slavery Exodus 1:7-14; 2:23-25 Memory Selection: Be strong, fear not, behold your God will come —and save you. Isaiah 35:4. Jacob's family numbered 70 when they settled in Egypt. Four hundred years later there were about 600,000 on foot, that were men, besides children. They had grown to a mighty host. This was in spite of adversity. A new king who had not known Joseph feared this growing nation. He set task- masters over the Israelites to afflict them. "Ilut the more they afflicted! theist, the more they multiplied and grew." That is a significant state- ment. They were God's chpseta people and they prospered in ad- versity. It is useless to fight against God, The Psalmist was right when he said, "Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee." (76:10). !.'hen came the time when the people of Israel began to. sigh unto God because of their bond- age. "And God heard their groan- ing, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob," The dis- ciplines of adversity had moulded them into a nation, Some remem- bered the heritage promised to their forefathers. There is a limit to the length of time that a people can endure oppression, The desire for freedom will finally assert itself. When the oppressed begin to pray, then de- liverance will surely come. Already there are rumblings of a beginning of a struggle for such freedom be- hind the iron curtain, If people pray, God will help the oppressed today just as He has always done.
