Zurich Herald, 1953-03-12, Page 7They Cali 'Whiskers
"Grass Belong Face"
le than British island dotted
about the South Pacific is spoken
one of the strangest and most
colourful languages in the world
--•pidgin-English.
It has beef described as "A
dreadful attempt to simplify
English by turning'.things back
to front." Instead of saying a
word like "pocket." you have to
describe it as "basket belong
trousers." In this way "whiskers"
have become "grass belong face,"
.and the sun "lamp belong•Jesus.'
A preacher in the British Solo-
mon Islands has described how
he translated the Lord's Prayer
into pidgin:
"Papa belong me fella, stop on
top; name belong you he tabu;
Pidgin belong You he come
down along ground all same
on top;
Give ine fella kai-kai (food)
enough along day;
Forget 'im sin belong rale fella,
all same me fella forget 'im
sin belong all together .. ."
' Some years ago the South Sea
Islands had a scourge of the
dreaded hookworm, Doctors were
sent out to rid them of the dis-
•ease, but the superstitious na-
tives refused to take. the medi-
cine they were offered: At last
a British doctor learned the lan-
guage and tried to tell thein
about the disease and the "one
good fella medicine" he had
brought • to cure them.
By the time he had mastered
pidgin he was able to tell an il-
literate audience of natives -
cannibals, headhunters and ail
- about the complicated life-
cycle of the hoodworm:
"You look along dis fella fic-
shure (picture). Two fella see
nake. You look: one fella he man-
senake, one fella him mary se-
nake (male and female snakes).
Dis fella mary, him be bad fella
too much. Him he stop along
inside boy; him he kai-kai blut
(blood); him he xnakim too much
small fella egg. Boy he makin
something along 'ground. Egg he
come out. Dis egg he small fella
too much .."
Every time he recited his lec-
ture the doctor 'reported that a
"frightened sigh fluttered through
the audience." By the time he
reached the end of his speech
the natives were only too glad to
accept the medicine, with the
result that the epidemic was
very sbon stamped out.

Just how good is the Leghorn
- Rhode Island Red•cross is some-
thing often discussed by poultry
raisers. Well, like a lot of other
questions, the answer seems to
be -it all depends.
Will your market pay you full
;price for tinted eggs? If it will
-and particularly if you,have a
good market • for -medium heavy
hens -the White Leghorn -Rhode
Island Red cross may be the bird

tried' hundreds of combinations
of chickens inthe, past 20 -years
to find something "better," be-
lieve that they have what they've
been looking for in this cross.
It's made by breeding a White
Leghorn cockerel to a Rhode Is-
land Red hen. Of course, any old
birds won't do: But recent tests
demonstrate that • birds from
high -producing strains' work very
well.
Recently Dr. F. A. Hays crossed
a medium weight, high -produc-
ing strain of Leghorns on a strain
of Rhode Island Reds averaging
240 eggs per bird.
Several lots of cross - bred
chicks were hatched at different
times; brooded with straight
Rhode Island chicks; put out on
range with the Reds, and then
put ,in the .laying house with the
Reds, so -that conditions would be
identical all the day.

They were slightly smaller
birds than the Reds. When they
were full-grown, the cross -bred
• hens weighed 5.66 pounds apiece,
compared to 6.4 pounds for the

You've got trees on your place

What can you do about it?

Plenty, say a group of farmers
in Medina County, Ohio. It was
because they found themselves
all facing this same problem that
they decided they could do some-
thing about it.
in Janua,y, 1948, they went to-
gether and bought a portable
sawmill, with the SCS district
board signing the notes. .Since
then, their co-op mill has sawed
over a million and a half board
feet on more than 200 farms:
There are several non - portable
mills operating in the area ac-
cording to Harold D. Gaither,
writing in "Farm 3 otu'nel,"
x,
*
Charge for sawing is now $20
a thousand, with a minimum
charge of $50 per farm, This
covers payments on the mill,
wages for the operator and assis-
tant, rental on truck and tractor,
repairs; and depreciation,
Ali but $2,000 of the original
$8,000 which the mill cost has
now been paid off` out of mill
earnings. John Heiser, one of the
co-operators, believes it would
have been better to buy the trac-
tor and truck along with the mill,
because their rental payments
now add up to more than their.
value.
Calls for the mill are increas-
ing. In fact, requests have piled
up as much as a year ahead. Co-
operators 'get first chance, but any
'Your manager tells me that you
• : ought to do better tonight than
you did on TV last time,"
farmer who follows good forestry
practices can get on the list to
have his timber sawed.
M '4 ..
The Medina farmers say that
there are two main points to re-
member in making the co-op mill
idea' work; hire a good operator,
.and know your lumber market
before you start.
A. good sawyer will pay for
'himself in getting the last board
out of a log, and in sawing the
boards to a uniform thickness
and width, so that the lumber
.will grade high.
. About half of the lumber
sawed by the Medina co-op mill
used • on the farms where
sawed. The rest is sawed to suit
the buyer -a practice which nets
them up to $15 a -thousand more
,thein for ungraded lumber.

•Keiser estimates that about
liree-fourths of t h e lumber
'sawed by the portable mill to
tate would never have been sal-
fraged without it.

City Already Old

' In the heart of the desert near

Worn smooth by the constant
rubbing of sand grains. They look
insignificant:, but are really some
of the most important ruins of
the world.
Many of the assistants to Sir

cavating there, said they were
conscious of an afire of evil, a
feeling that countless pairs of
eyes Were watching them

In the East boasted at least one
Magician from Ur. The court
magicians of Pharaoh, who com-
peted with Moses, were almost
certainly Chaldeans. They were
famous and feared the world
the world over.
Ur is the oldest known city in
the world. It was ancient before
the Bible was first written -be-
fore Abraham was born. It was
even ancient before the first
pyramid was built.
Archaeologists have proved
there was a tremendous flood in
that part of the world. Its traces
can be found everywhere in an
eight -foot -deep deposit of clay.
That clay was found all round
Ur, but not within the city walls.
While most of the known world
was degtroyed and desolate' for
centuries, Ur continued to de-
velop.
Sir Leonard Woolley's exca-
vations have proved something
else. The people of Ur were
mighty men of the occult, but
they were also mighty men in all
forms of culture.
One find was a solid gold dag-
ger, studded with gems and rest-
ing in a sheath of exquistely
worked gold filigree. It could not
be duplicated to -day, even with
modern tools, yet it was fashion-
ed two thousand years before
Abraham was born.
• Plaques have been unearthed
ea.; ^h sh nw that the Chaldeans
were fond of music, delighting in
stringed instruments and singing.
Their soldiers wore copper arm-
our, and bas-reliefs of the type
of chariot they favoured prove
that they must have been the
fastest and most mobile army on
earth.
Here, more than anywhere
else on earth, excavations may
yet give us valuable information
of those mighty nations who were
totally destroyed in the Flood,
leaving no trace of their exist-
ence.
A woman with a dislocated jaw
was being rushed to a hospital

lance struck a rock, and the
jouncing snapped the woman's

Daniel Webster said, "My moat
solemn though is that of my per-
sonal accountability to God."
This life is not the end. It is the
proving ground where we make
the decisions which determine
where we will spend Eternity;
Most people welcome the thought
that Nero, Hitler, and Mussolini,
will have to give an account of
themselves to God. We would.
think that injustice ruled the
universe if these villains were not
rewarded according to ,theie
deeds. But "every one of us shall
give account of himself to God."
Ro. 14:12. Jesus said, "Every idle
word that men shall speak, they.
shall give account thereof in the
day of judgment." Matt. 12:36.
Paul writes of "the day of wrath
and revelation of the righteous
judgment of Gocl; who will render
to every man according to hit
deeds." Ro. 2:5,6.
Jesus Christ, the Son of man,,.
will be the judge. His' judgment
will be fair. He knows man for
he lived as a man upon this earth.
But since He is also the Son of
God He will make no mistakes,
Human judges sometimes err. But
Jesus Christ will not,

talents being used selfishly?
"Whosoever will save his life shall
lose it: whosoever will lose hiss
life for my sake shall find it."
Matt. 16:25. As we minister to
others, hungry, sick, imprisoned,
-for Jesus' sake, we are really
ministering to Him. Those who
have caught this truth count it all
joy to spend and be spent in the
service of their Lord. They de'
it for the pleasure derived now -
and then there is a crown await-
ing.
Let it be noted that in both
parables of today's lesson the sin
was one of omission rather than
of commission. In our courts the
emphasis is on the commission of
wrong acts. In God's sight it is
sin not to use our gifts and
strength for Him.
There is no appeal from this
judgment. The wicked shall go
away into everlasting punish-
ment.
