Here's a timely warning which
might be worth passing along to
some of you at this time. Ice or
snow which plugs the PLUMBING
VENT PIPE projecting above the
roof of a home can be a real source
of peril, and possibly endanger the
health of an entire family.
* * *
"The plumbing system must be
able to breathe," says a spokesman
for the Canadian Institute of
Plumbing and Heating. "The vent
pipes connect with all the waste
lines in a home, letting in fresh air
andpreventing any accumulation
of gas caused by the decay of waste
material."
In addition to this, he goes on to
stay, these vent pipes also let air
into the waste lines to prevent waste
water from creating a vacuum as
it drains downward and thus siphon-
ing your water traps dry. Sufficient
water must 'always remain 4n the
U-bend beneath each plumbing fix-
ture to stop obnoxious gases from
backing up into the home.
* * *
So, every once in a while, it might
be an idea to pay a few moments
attention to that plumbing vent pipe
on the. roof, and make sure +hat it
hasn't become clogged with ice,
snow or some of last autumn's dead
leaves.

Just what do farm folks worry
about most? is the $64 question this
week. Of course, many city people
think that those living on farms
have practically no worries at all,
their idea of rural life being sonie-
tlTliig like that of the little joy who
said, "All that farmers have to do
is stick things in the ground, and
then waft for them. to come up
again."
Anyway the editor of an agricul-
tural journal couth of the border
Thought it might be interesting to
get an answer to that particular
question,. so he asked several hun-
dred farm people what was mostly
on their minds. And here are the
answers—which are probably much
Me same as would be given to a
similar quiz here.
* 9
The younger people—from 20 to
30 years of age — are principally
worried about where the money is
coming from. Many of them start-
ed farming at a period when every-
thing was high and even if their
returns are good their costs are
away up.
* * *
Older farmers, especially those
who have paid for their land and
equipment, weren't worried so much
about money at regarding their
health. Rheumatism, heart trouble
and other ailments occupy a lot of
their thinking.
* * *
Men who answered the questions
put farm management problems in
first place. Women were more con-
tented with fancily problems. And
—this is rather striking just twice
as many men as women said that
they had no problems at all. But
perhaps that just proves that the
ladies are just twice as truthful as
we mates. What dt5 you think?
* * *
The Ontario Deputy Minister of
Agriculture, Mr, C. D. Graham, re-
cently spoke about the advisability
of more clover growing "in this
:Province—a matter about which we
bad something to say quite recently.
"Clover is most important," he
stated, "and yet there are half a
million fewer acres in Ontario pro-
ducing such legume forage than
there were 20 years. ago."
* * *
The Deputy"Minister went en to
soy that the yield per acre is hardly
being maintained either. "This is
x condition which should not be al-
lowed to exist. In the interest of
our soils we should certainly be
growing more legumes. Further-
more, the production of more
clovers and palatable grasses will
provide more home-grown pro-
teins."
* * *
Questioned about hay and pasture
mixtures, Mr, Graham said that
since 1944 more than 2,000 acres of
long-term demonstration plots had
been laid down and that most of
These are still in production, "Last
gear a program of problem soils was
started, and in 1949 there will be
two additional plots-Lehree to five
Acres each—to each county."
* * *
Seems like a queer time of year,
perhaps, for me to be talking about
hay, pasture and other crops, Still
----it won't be long now; although,
as the fellow said, it might seem
*hat way, especially when the side
*loads are buried tinder a few feet of
"beautiful" now.
On The Wrong Scent
During the North African cam-
paign, Arab camp followers and
rferchauts were as persistent as
they were. annoying, One of them,
sidling Oriental carpsts, was particu-
larly anxious and at hest gffended an
officer who, losing his patience, said:
'?+lo, I ten you--No1 Take the
*Winking thing ;amyl"
The Arab now was offended and
diem himself up in a dicrniht,l usni-
*e61. "Sahib, it is riet te,rie t that
Oinks—it is me.'
All I Want For Christmas Is—Little Patricia Ann O'Brien was

popular song had something to do with it—two front teeth.

When a husband is incurably ill
and demands that his wife divorce
hint to free herself of the burden,
how is she to
convince h i
she will not con-
sider it?
If she will not
consent, he
threatens to kill
himself.
A frightened
wife writes me,
in part: "My
husband is a disabled veteran, whose
malady will only become worse. For
almost a year he worked fine, but all
at once the pain hit him hard. Now
he has not worked in two months.
"Our bills are adding up, and
there is no income. I am looking
for a job, but every place I go they
say, 'No hiring sorry.'
TWO FINE PEOPLE
"But here is the real problem, and
I'm scared to death! He loves me
and wants me to leave or even di-
vorce him, so 1 won't be' tied down
to a cripple! If 1 don't, he threat-
ens to go away and commit suicide,
"Even if I find' work, I'II be
worried each day until I can get

"Anne Hirst what shall I do?
Sometimes I think I want to kill
him and myself, too. Please help
me!"

they used?
A. Yes; the first. or inner, en-

Modern. Parent
Angelo Petri, the noted child
psychologist, tells about the right-
eous parent who was being annoyed
in her work by the noisy antics of
her seven-year-old child. "Be quietl"
she shrieked. "Sit down and be
quiet!" "No, I won't!" retorted the
impudent youngster. Whereupon
the resourceful mother Commanded:
"Stand up, then—T will be obeyed!"

Jesus' Early Teaching
And Healing
Mark 1:14.15, 32-39; Luke 4:16-21.
Golden Text: And Jesus went about
all Galilee, teaching in their syna-
gogues, and preaching the gospel of
the kingdom, and healing all man-
ner of sickness and all manner of
disease among the people.—Matt.
4:23.
The Foreign Missions Conference
has called for the church to be pro -
Christian rather than anti-Com-
munist, implying that Christianity,.
really practised, will meet the needs
of our age. When Jesus first spoke
in the synagogue in his home town
he read the Scripture which outlined
His policy toward the downtrod-
den. '"The Spirit of the Lord is
upon Me, because He hath anointed
nae to preach the Gospel to the
poor; He hath sent Me to heal the
broken-hearted, to preach deliver-
ance to the captives, and recovering
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised, to preach the
acceptable year of. the Lord." Jesus
proposes to do more for men than
provide financial security. Indeed
much of our financial insecurity is
due to the fact that men are spend,
ing their money for that which is,
not bread and their labour for that
which satisfieth not. Itis not more
money that is needed so much as
Christian principles to enable us to
use money properly.
Jesus Christ was not making
promises merely to secure favor.
He fulfilled His word. He cast the
devils out of men and healed the
sick. No one was turned away be-
cause of race, social rank or pover-
ty. His was a universal Gospel.
Some have complained that Christi-
anity has not done more. It has
not failed but we have failed to re-
ceive it and apply it.
The teaching and healing minis-
try of our Lord was effective be-
cause° it was supported by a life of
prayer. He knew the strength and
joy derived from private com-
munion with His Father. If we are
going to carry on the ministry of
our Lord, we too must pray.
Elementary
Needing a new secretary, the
firm's president decided to have ap-
plicants judged by a psychologist,
Three girls were interviewed to-
gether.
"WhafM do 'two and two make?"
the psychologist asked th.e first.
"Four," was the prompt answer.
To the same question the second
girl .replied: "It might be 22," The
third girl answered: "It might be
22 and it might be four."
When the girls had left the room,
the psychologist turned triumphant-
ly to the president. "There," he said,
"that's what psychology does. The
first girl said the obvious thing. The
second smelled a rat.) The third
was going to have it c$l�oth ways.

Now, which girl will u have?"
The president did tot hesitate,
"I'll have the blonde Stith the blue
eyes,!.! be said. • ..
Efficiency
A minister of Scotch descent,
rather noted for his close calcula-
tions also operated a small farm in
Vermont.
One day he observed his hired
man sitting idly by the plow, as the
horses took a needed rest. This
rather shocked the good man's
sense of economy. After all, he was
paying the man 25 cents an hour,
So he said gently but reproachfully,
"John, wouldn't it be a good plan
fi;r you to have a pair of shears and
be trimming these bushes while the
horses are resting?"
"That it would," replied John
agreeably-. "And might I suggest,
your reverence, that you take a peck
of potatoes into the pulpit and peel
'em during the anthem."
Close Friends
The little old lady had just re-
turned from a trip to Europe andi
was busy impressing her friend*
with the beautiful things she had
seen and the wonderful places she
had visited, when a woman asked,
"Did you by any chance see the
Dardanelles?"
"See them?" the traveler replied
impressively, "why, my dear, 1 had
lunch with them!" •
