So this column will largely be
taken` up, this week, with the con-
cluding paragraphs from an open
letter written, a few days,, ago, by
J. W. Brown of New Liskear 1 who
happens to be president of the
Canadian Standard Bred Horse So-
. ciety. The letter is too long to quote'
in its` entirety, but we think that
the portion we are passing along
will be of considerable interest to
a number of our readers, 'especially
those—and they are many — who
admire a good trotting or pacing
horse,

"The 1951 meeting at Thorncliffe
sustained a loss of $60,000 much of
which was due to the fact that we
were forced to suspend operations
during the Hamilton meeting, When
Gets Hts Deer The Hard Way -Edward Knipling, 12 year-old
schoolboy, holds the bow and arrow with which he killed the
deer above, shown after it was hung on display in his back
yard, Young Knipling, who delivers papers when he's not out
stalking game, bagged the deer at the Holly River Park,
we resumed (at the conclusion of
.Hamilton) our business had drop-
ped 5.0 per cent from the previous
week. Nonetheless, the Provincial
Government collected $206,000 in
pari-mutuel taxes. from Thorncliffe
this year and the horsemen re-
cieved only $129,000 in purses.
* * , ,
"Our final suggestion was made
to' the Premier, We suggested that
some of the tax moneys. collected
f To m wagering ' at . Thorncliffe
should be devoted to the Ontario
Fund for Cancer Research, It was
pointed out that the $400,000 or
more, collected in' two seasons,,
was an entirely new tax` contribu-
tion as' harness -racing, 'previously
had paid only a token -tax.
* * *,
"It was suggested, furthers pore,
that some of these fax funds should
be used by the government to bol-
ster the purse program for harness
racing at Ontario's Fall Fairs, In-
cidentally, in some American states,
moneys for'ALL AGRICULTUR-
ALPRIZES at, state fairs are paid
out of. the pari-mutuel taxes on
racing.
* *} *
"I. submit, sincerely, that these
suggestions were governed by good
sense. The horsemen had been
struggling to make both ends meet
during the Thorncliffe season and
"They suggest that night har-
ness -racing can be operated on any
Ontario track, exclusive of the sev-
en major running -horse tracks men-
tioned earlier in this review. The
truth of the matter is that pari-
mutuel wagering is administered
by the fedtral government, under
the provisions of the Criminal' Code
'Of Canada, In other words, no
NIGHT harness -racing meeting
could be operated in Ontario un-
less the sponsors (be they in Clin-
ton, Stratford, or Markham, etc.)
'are in possession of a charter issu-
ed prior to March 20, 1912.
"It is essential that this point
should not be forgotten when • the
subject of harness -racing is Under
discussion,
* * *
"I ant quite satisfied that the in- ,
troduction of night harness -racing,
to 'Ontario mould triple the value
of Standard Breds in this province.
"As an example; at one United
States sale -last year 431 'yearlings
were auctioned at an average price
of $1210. I must emphasize that
these yearlings came from all types
'of farms -large and small
* * *
"In this machine - age, when
work -horses , are being slaughtered
for dog -meat, all the horse -power
that is required on a small farm
still would be a pair of Standard
Bred mares, If the farmer raised
only 'one colt each year and could
sell it for the above-mentioned
price of $1210 it would prove very
profitahlc.,. , ,......
4,* *
"In reviewing this evidence, I
believe that 'you will have to agree
that never, since Confederation, has
there been such an example of
rank discrimination. Never before
have we had the example of a prov-
incial Premier pamperingthe mil-
lionaire breeders of thoroughbreds
and the wealthy operators of rui-
ning -horse tracks at the expense of
'the hundreds and thousands of
farmers who breed and own 'Stan-
dard Breds," •
Eagle Carries Off
Farmer's Baby
Theterrific power in eagle's
talons was grimly'demonstrated re-
cently, when a Highland shepherd,
bending to look at an eagle which
had been, shot and wounded, was
attacked by the bird. It fixed one
set of its talons in the shepherd's
neck and would not release.its
'grip until its foot was shorn off.
Hares, wild cats and rabbits die
quickly from the. constriction of the
eagle's talons alone. The grip is
a locking one,- When the bird bends
its legs to take a hold, a ribbon
like muscle at its knee locks its
grip, which can only be relaxed by
the extension of the bird's limbs,
It is unusual for eagles to at-
tack humans unless they are pro-
voked; but in 1937 a farmer in
Sassari, Sardinia, was' horrified to
see an eagle swoop down on his
fourteen -months -old son and carry
the child:. away in its talons.
Fortunately the farmer had' his
rifle and managed to hit the eagle,
It fluttered to earth, still holding
the.child, and a second shot killed
the bird.
. The talons were embedded in the
thick woollen coat the child was
wearing, and he was; unharmed.
In 1924•a boy of fourteen, play-
ing' golf at Chatham, Ontario, was
lifted 'six feet. in the. air when an •
eagle pounced on him.
' The boy's clothing gave way and
he dropped to the grass, The bird
attacked him again but became 'en-
meshed in a barbed wire fence and
was j killed,

FREEDOM WITH DIGNITY
Dignity — what's its meaning?
True dignity flows from worth or
value—the majesty of the king; the
dignity of a diamond. But the man
or woman in gaol has greater dig-
nity, But he, languishes in gaol
either because he ignored his own
dignity or the dignity of his neigh-
bor,
Millions rot in 'political prisons
'orconcentration camps sinilply .be-
cause they are unknown. Unknown,
that. is, in their real nature by
those who put them there. Ignore
man's real worth and freedom dies.
The Catholic Church has • a long
history—close onto 2,000 years. It's
bad logic to say that the Catholic
Church has ever been trying to
conquer the world for itself, In
e v er y generation the Catholic
Church has been savagely attacked,
That alone would convince the
Church that. it was impossible, So
that can't be her driving force.
What is her hidden power? It
lies in the crystal clear awareness
of man's worth and dignity. The
Church doesn't welcome persecu-
tion. But she will oppose any man
,or group 'of men who ignore or im-
pose on man's dignity. To talk of
freedom and, ignore man's real
worth is useless. Watch these mss -
sages in the future for an explana-
tion of what the Catholic Church
is and teaches about the majesty

Time to be at least thinking about
those Christmas candies, isn't it?
As a rule 1 don't mention individu-
al' limns or' products in these col-
umns, but I feel that I should say
that the hints on different types
of candy, and the instructions on
how to go about making them, are
taken from a very attractive booklet
sent me recently t he the Home
Service Department of the Carna-
tion Company Ltd,
Equipment. The size and kind of
pan used in cooking candy are lin-
portant, Enough room is allowed
the mixture to cook without over-
flowing, A two -quart , pan is used
for all these recipes except cara-
mels, which require a three -quart
size. Any kind of pan can be used,
but the candy, will not stick as
readily in a, heavy metal pan as:
in a thin one, Aluminum, steel, and
copper pans are ideal for candy
cookery. A wooden spoon is best
to use for candy making, A candy
thermometer is an aid. in determin-
ing more accurately the tempera-•
ture to which candy sltould be
cooked.
* *
Cooking, Mix ingredients and
cook over low {teat, stirring fre-
cook over medium heat, stirring',
qucntly, until sugar dissolves, then
constantly, until candy is done,
The acid, in brown sugar will often
cause candy mixtures to curdle.
This curdled appearance will' usu-
ally disappear, however, after cool-_
ing and beating.
* .* *
THE COLD WATER TEST
Fill a small bowl with cold water.
Remove candy froth' heat when
making test so candy does not
continue cooking. Allow small
, drops of candy to fall from spoon
into cold water.
The Soft Ball Stage is reached
when the 'drops can be gathered to-
gether' in a ball that will just: hold
its shape, but which flattens on re-
moval from the water.
The Firm Ball Stage is reached
when the drops will form into a
firm ball which does not flatlet' on
removal,
The Hard Ball Stage is reached
when the drops will form into a
ball which is hard enough to hold
its shape, yet is plastic, •
The Soft Crack Stage is reached
when the drops separate into
threads which are hard' but not.
brittle.

Needed A Mirror To
Read Her Writing
•
Did you know that far more boys
than girls , arc left-handed, that
there is more backwardness among
left-handed ,pupils, that the easiest
way to find out..a youngster's dom-
inant hand is to ask hint to unscrew
a screw -topped bottle?
Miss .Margaret Clark, who has
been conducting a series of 'experi-
ments with school -children hi. Scot-
land, has discovered that one boy
in every three and one girl in every
four arc not completely "right-
sided." Her tests were also directed
to detecting .any preference by the
children for using the left eye, foot
or car,
It is Miss Clark's contention that
children who arc left-handed would.
learn much more rapidly and ex-
perience hutch less frustration if
they could write from right to left.
To.have to tvritc froni left to,right
is a distinct handicap tothe aver-
age lcfthander,
Why is it that most of us are
right-handed? Sonic scientists have
suggested that primitive matt learn-
ed to realize that the, left -side of
his Body; was more vulnerable than
his right; He did not know that
this was due to his heart being
two-thirds on the left side. But ex-
perience taught him that a wound"
in the left chest was more clanger=
ous than one on the right.
It isn't certain, however, 'that
right-handedness was always pre-
dominant, Prehistoric implements
found in France about twenty years
ago established beyond doubt that
in that country left-handed people
were at' one time twice as numer-
ous as right-handed,
A physician has. warned that it
is a mistake to try to force achild
to use tlic right• hand' when the
natural' tendency is to use the left.
A stammer may thus he developed;
but it is lost when left-handedness
is permitted once more.

artist, Loitis'. Wain, were drawn
with, his left hand. Landseer could

but with' both hands at once) For
some unexplained reason most of

, handed,
A Cheshire doctor had a girl
patient who discovered that she
could write "looking -glass writing"
with her left hand --a rare achieve-
ment, The girl was left-handed, and
on getting her to write her name
the doctor was surprised to see
she was writing words that were
clear and neat—but could be read-
only through a mirror. With her
right hand the girl wrote imper-
fectly and with considerable diffi
culty,
Famous Epitaphs
Tire story goes that a Chinese
statesman, wishing to know some-
thing of the history of his people,
collected the inscriptions on every
tombstone in the vast Chinese,Ent-'
Aire.
Having done this, he advised the
Emperor that the only way to int-
provc his subjects was to kill all
the living and resurrect the dead.
At this time it was the fashion
to devote epitaphs exclusively to
the virtues of the dead.
Any attempt at humor or un-
kind criticism was sacrificed to
lengthy, and often untrue, recitals
of the qualities of the deceased.
The ancient Greeks, however, set
a new fashion.
After a great battle between the
Spartans and 'the Laccdaemoniatts
(two of the rival states on the main-
land of Greece) a memorial was
erected with the inscription: "Go
tell the Spartans, thou who passeth
by, that here,- obedient to` their
laws, we lie." . -
Today there are people who col-
lect epitaphs as a hobby. Their col-
lections range front long lists of
Latin titles to the very 'simple
and frankly humorous.
"Excuse My Dust"
The most famous epitaphs are
sonic of the simplest.
Its St, Paul's Cathedral, Loudon,
"for instance, you'll find an inscrip-
tion in Latin to its designer, Sir
Christopher Wren, which says: "If
you seek his ntonuinent, look
around," .
Thomas Fuller; the seventeenth -
century divine and historian, esta-
blished a record for brevity with
just the two words; "Fuller's
earth," '
Another short and ,simple one is
that of Dorothy. Parker, the Am-
erican' writer and humorist, She
has written . it in advance -being
still ' very much alive.
1t reads: "Excuse my dust."
Verse is one of the favorite
and one of the most famous—and
Mediums for the writers of epitaphs,
amusing—is' the inscription which
mourns the death of Thomas I-lyde:
"l-Iere lies 'font Iydc;
It's a pity he died;
1\te had rather
It had: been his father , , ."
Many people have been. unable
-to resist the desire to• pun in their
epitaphs, A well-known example of
this is' the inscription to a man
named More in a London church:
"One More and no more .can lie.
here alone; ,
' But here lies one More, and that's .
more that; one;"
Another of a similar nature reads
as follows: -
"Here lies Anne Mann; she lived
An old Maid and died an old
Manly"
Some of the best collectors'
pieces can be found in America.
The code of the - Old West, for
ixample, is told. on a natural rock
gravestone in Cripple Creek, Color-
ado "He called Bill Snaith a liar,"
While the career, political ambi-
tions and' final demise of another
Westerner.' are told on a simple
epitaph in Dodge City, Kansas:
„ "Ran for sheriff, 1872
Ran from -sheriff, 1876
Buried, 1876."
Lastly here is an epitaph which
is ideally suited to the age in which
we live -the age of speed and
rush, It was written by an Ameri-
can, Leonard Robbins.

Wins 1000 Mile Race
At Age Of 661,
A few weeks ago, all eyes In Swe-
den scanned the newspapers and all
ears listened anxiously to the radio
for the latest news of Gustav Haw-
kanson—an amazing old man of
sixty-six, with along white flowing
beard, who, when he was not ac-
cepted as a candidate for the yearly
national cycle race, from Haparan-
da in the north' to Ystad in the
south of Sweden, decided he would
compete off his own batt
Gustav had never been a pro-
fessional cyclist -he only took it
up three years ago -but he di-
cided to ride to his own rules.
After the first day's cycling he did
not stop like the other competitors,
but continued pedalling into the
night. His bicycle was not a
"speedster," but a heavy old grid
with dynamo light, chain cover,
packet holder -and "lots of things
tied on behind," Ml the same, he
led the field on the second day.
People thought it funny, He
slept hardly at all, ate what was
given to him, or what he had with
him, and reported for control at
the local police stations in the
towns at which he stopped. Some-
times he would sleep in a police
cell before continuing, one or two
hours sufficed, At the end of the
second day lie had such 'a lead on
the others—the professionals with
their streamlined racing machines,
and scanty shorts -that people be-
came quite excited,
By the fourth clay he was more
than twenty-four hours ahead, and
he had been nicknamed "Steel
Grandfather" and "The Beard".
Four times a `day the radio re-
ported his progess, doctors were
amazed at his vitality.
At one halting place he was
run into by a schoolboy, who
brought him off his cycle. Re-
mounting, he continued the race
and was able to give a fine radio.
interview at the end of the day,
concluding by singing' with an
amazingly young voice before turn-
ing in for forty, winks in as many
minutes. •
At another town, the workers
of a certain factory admiringly
bought a gold watch for tilt "old
boy." fie became the talk of Swe-
den; and the forty -odd profession-
als, racing to catch hitt) up but
still more than a day behind, were
ignored.
As he neared the winning post,
thousands lined the route and
cheered him on. For their benefit,
he put ina phenomenal final spurt
—batt with only half a mile to go
Ile got a puncture)
Undaunted, he continued on the
rite of his back tire, to complete
his well over 1,000 mile : journey
more than twenty-four hours ahead
of the field!
He now is the modest possessor
of a big cheese, a sofa, an' arm-
chair, a gold wrist watch, two new
bicycles, a mattress, a new pair of
trousers (lined with chamois lea-
ther), coffee, cakes, fruit, flowers
in large quantities, to say nothing
of presents of cash, and three con-
tracts to make public appearances)

story is obvious: You're never tbo

TRUE CHIVALRY
The chivalry of the ante-bellum
South is not dead, according to
Kay Kyser, He defines a typical
od-fashioned Southern gentleman
as a man who hadn't embraced his
wife for six months, but shot an-

I HAVE GIVEN.
GOOD .ADVICE
During the nine years that I have been sponsoring mining
and oil shares I have made a lot of money for o lot of
people. I made the first -public offering of Silver Miller at •
22c a share, I recommended, and sold, a lot of Pan Western
Oil shares at 25c, I recommended, and sold, a lot of Jupiter
Oils shares at 18c. Last week Silver Miller sold at $1.50 a
share, Pan Western sold at $1.75. Jupiter Oils: sold qt $2.80.
When I first offered these shares td my clients they were out
and out speculations. Today all three are listed and traded
on the Toronto Stock Exchange,
l Sincerely Believe l
Have Another Good
Low -Priced Buy
If you are in a position to invest one or two hundred dollars
in a low-priced mining stock, you might do yourself a lot
of good by getting in touch with me at once. We have had
gold booms, silver booms, oil booms and base metal booms
—in my opinion the next market move will be in uranium
shares. Because I so sincerely believe that a lot of money
is going to be made mining uranium. I am sponsoring a
property right in the heart of the active Beaverlodge uran-
ium field in Northern 'Saskatchewan On location alone, I
feel that the shares should be selling in dollars instead of
cents, From ct speculative angle, I consider them to be the
best low-priced offering I have ever made.

offered thosb stocks, send me your name. By retu' n mail I
will send you complete information. If you canget a copy
of -October 15th issue of Maclean's Magazine now on the

World," After reading it you will better understonc+ my'
enthusiasm and why I believe we are just getting ready
for a big market move in uranium shares. And whether or
not you have ever bought mining shares, drop me a lime 'or

moves you ever made,

Imagination Helps A Whole Lot
In Packing School Lunch -Boxes
Packing school lunches five days
it week can become a monotonous
chore; and, by the same token, eat-
ing cold lunches five days a week
•can become pretty monotonous,
too.
However, if a little extra thought
and a dash of imagination go into
the packing, the noon lunch hour
may well be something to antici-
pate. There will be no sighs on
•opening the lunch box -"The same
•old thing!"
Sandwiches, of course, are the
backbone of the school lunch; and,
with the seemingly endless array
•of . fillings available, it is easily
possible to have more than one
different kind every day of the five.
They can be made further intrigu-
ing by using fancy cutters writes
Ethel M. Eaton in the Cjiristian
Science Monitor.
Children delight in surprises, and
a nut -bread cat or a brown -bread
pig will elicit squeals of pleasure. A
stuffed crusted roll, too, is a wel-
come change from the usual sliced -
bread sandwich.
The filling may be a tuna or
salmon salad mixture or egg salad;

For sweet sandwiches -a school
lunch should always include one
--these fillings are tops with chil-
dren: (1) Peanut butter, sprinkled
with brown sugar; (2) Peanut but-
ter, with raspberry jam; (3) ground
prunes and chopped walnuts; (4)
Apple butter with graham crackers;
(5) Crease cheese and chopped rai-
sins or dates.
Don't overlook a variety of
breads; nut bread, banana bread,
orange -raisin bread, cherry bread,
prune bread, and buttered muffins
are sure to find high favor, even
if ordinary fillings are used. Re-
member too, that deviled eggs -
carefully wrapped in waxed paper
-are far more entrancing than the
plain hard -cooked kind.
Little cakes and pies always in-
trigue the young fry, When bak-
ing cake or pie, save out enough
batter to slake a tiny one for the
lunch box. A small pie or round
cake can go to school right in
its tin and is easier to pack than
a wedge-shaped piece which often
gets mussy.
Custard baked in a glass cup,
with a dab of bright -colored jam
in the center, is a tempting treat,
especially, if a gay plastic spoon
is included rather than a silver
one. A bit of candy, of course,
never goes begging. It's a good
idea to include two pieces of a
different kind each day -avoiding
chocolates - wrapping each piece
separately in waxed paper. A hand-
ful of seedless raisins, tied in a
paper napkin with a bit of bright
ribbon,
A small lunch kit with a half-
pint vacuum bottle is practically a
necessity for substantial and at-
tractive lunches. The bottle will
hold hot foods and drinks as well
as cold drinks, And the top may
be used as a cup; but do . include
colored straws, too, in the case of
cold drinks.
If paper napkins are used, be
sure they are the larger dinner
size; otherwise little protection is
afforded the child's clothing. To
my mind, a large cloth napkin -a
fresh one each day -is a far better
choice. In fact one mother always
tucks a 24 -inch folded square of
fresh white wrapping paper on top
of the lunch, to be used as a "table
cloth" when the lunch is eaten on
desk or table.
When packing school lunches, it
is desirable to keep in mind that a
child's lunch should contain at least
one-third of each day's food re-
quirements. It should be adequate
as to amount, and as tempting and
delicious as possible to insure its
being eaten and not discarded.
\Vith a little forethought and
planning, it is always possible to
have a wide variety of lunch -mak-
ings on hand. A mother I know,
who has to prepare not one lunch
but three every school day, de-
votes a closet shelf and a section
of the refrigerator to the requisite
foods and accessories.
When shopping, she is always
alert for "something different" to
stake her youngsters' lunches more
tempting to the eye as well as to
the appetite. One day she showed
me some little red plastic sailboats
with sticks of striped candy (paper -
wrapped) for Masts, "These will
supply the candy quota for tomor-
row," she explained.

Old Man Winter surely crcpt up
on u, like a thief in the night, No
doubt many people were caught un-
prepared, After all, when balmy
breezes blow you don't think of
blizzards as being an immediate
possibility. We haven't got too
much to worry about ourselves so
we have time to wonder how many
farmers have cattle away from
home on rented pasture. It would
be pretty hard on the poor beasts
-they might have neither feed nor
shelter -and Ontario cattle are not
used to rustling for a living like
western cattle.
, 4 * ,*
While we haven't any major wor-
ries we have plenty of minor ones.
Dealing with twenty. head of cattle
in the stable after they have been
used to roaming the pastures, day
and night, snakes plenty of extra
work, And the storm doesn't let
you forget the little things either
. . the outside window that has
to be replaced in the hen -house;
water containers that must be
emptied overnight to prevent freez-
ing; the solution jug for the milk-
ing machine must be drained, al d
water let out of the tractor. For-
get any of these little things and
you make trouble for yourself. And
of course with the snow blowng
and drifting all the time you won-
der how long before the line fills
in. As to that it may be impassable
right now -but of that we won't
be sure until the milk truck conies
'along,
*' c• *
And what could have caused this
storm so early in November? Could
it have been practising with the
atom blomb explosions, or is Cana-
da putting on a practical winter.
demonstration for our Royal Cou-
ple We certainly hope the cold
spell. won't stay too long or that
it will not cause undue wurry and
distress for those who have to
fight against it - although we
haven't too much sympathy for
those left stranded on the road
when out on pleasure bend. Why
anyone with a waren comfortable
home should drive away and leave
it in rough weather I'll never
know, And it isn't just the young
folk either ... any kind of a social
evening brings people out in the
worst possible weather -young and
old alike, But then mdybe they are
right and we are wrong -I wouldn't
know. Certainly our preferences for
staying. at home doesn't mean we
arc anti -social - just fair-weather
pleasure seekers, 1 guess. Making
hard work out of pleasure isn't our
idea of enjoyment.
t * 4
Which reminds rite , , pleasure
(?) for some folk makes hard work
for others. Last Wednesday was
Hallowe'en Night and sonic young
vandals got the bright idea of tra-
velling the roads and doing damage
to rural snail -boxes, Some were
ripped fror.t their posts; others up•
ended or damaged in some outer
way, The snail -Bean couldn't pos.
sibly deliver the, mail without get-
ting out of his car each time. So he
was given a lot of unnecessary work
as well as the farmers who had to
fix the boateq,
r *
lvlany people in this district are
quite excited about the new Ford
assembly plant to be set up in Oak-
ville, the site of which is about 20
miles from here. Already reale es•
tate agents are advertising farms as
being "commuting" distance from
Oakville - although what connec-
tion farm property has with the as-
sembly plant is open to conjecture.
Where the thousands of employees
(vill live is `anybody's guess.
Slow Burn Type -This girt em
ploye of a blood plasma pro-
cessing plant is bundled up for
protection against -of all things
-sunburnl The young lady
works in the sterilizing rcom of
the plant which is flooded with
germ -killing ultraviolet light.
The light helps to sterilize the
whole blood as it moves
through the processes needed
to change it into life-giving
plasma. It can also give any-
one exposed to it a fast and
painful sunburn.
To my way of thinking the most
important bit of news last week
was an announcement that a new
method of detecting cancer had
been discovered, and is just as effec-
tive in the early stages of the
disease as in the later ones. It has
been established that the blood level
of glutamic acid -which is always
present in the blood -has a higher
level in patients with cancer than
it has in a normal person, Tests
have been going on for some time
and diagnosis has been found accur-
ate in 91 per cent of the cases, If,
after another six months, doctors•
arc satisfied this new detection me-.
thod, is really satisfactory then it
will be possible for anyone to have
a routine check-up for cancer just
as you can have X-rays for tuber-
culosis. If this should be possible
the greatest threat will be removed
from cancer as cancer is admittedly
curable in most cases if 'treated in
its early stages. Tills is of parti-
cular interest to me just now as
only last week I got word from my
brother in England that his wife
had just passed away-presumablp
from this dread disease,
Beside A Brook
From the southeastern to the
southwestern boundary of those
hundred -and -some acres of fields,
swamp, and woods that make up
the world in which I do my day-
to-day aninlalizings, there meanders
a small stream, For part of its
length it is a swamp-streatn, run-
ning diffusely through an area of
catails and alders. • That's where
the first spring peepers start their
calling, and the first male red -
winged blackbirds come in March,
swaying on the reeds and singing
their creakly-croakly songs, • For
another part of its length, the brook
is a trout brook, running fast and
clear over a stony bottom. Else-

LESSON
The People at Worship
Exodus 29:43-46; 35:21-29
Memory Selection: Take ye from
among you an offering unto the
Lord whosoever is of a willing
heart, let him bring it, an offering
of the Lord, Exodus 35, 5a.
The erection of a tabernacle in
the wilderness was a task of no
mean proportion. First we would
note that God gave the plan, He
said to Moses, "Look that thous
make them after their pattern
which was shown thee in the
mount." Exodus 25:40. Of course
man alone could not have designed
such a system of worship that
would have so marvellously pre-
figured the coaling of Christ and
the various aspects of His ministry.
To have a "building committee that
works with complete harmony in
respect to every detail is not too
common. Someone is likely to
have a preference on which he,
insists to the point of stubbornness,
The minister will need to be wise
and tactful if he can keep the
waters calm on such an occasion.
The people of Israel entered up-
on the task with great enthusiasts.
The women gave their jewelry and
even presented their looking glasses
for the bran laver, Ieicn and wom-
en labored faithfully.
There was no assessment, no
compulsion, The call was for
"whosoever is of a willing heart."
"God loveth the cheerful giver."
They gave in such abundance that
they finally had to be restrained.
Such problems do not occur too
frequently today. However there
are many good people like the
Macedonians who have first given
themselves to the Lord and are
willing to give according to their
power, yea and obey their power.
II Corinthians 8: 3-5.

Get More Because
They Produce More
Considerable interest has been
aroused in the recent agitation in
certain quarters for equalization of
Canadian and United States wage
rates. To those who jump at con-
clusions,, there is some plausibility
in the theory that a scan doing a
certain job in one country should
receibe the same pay as a man do-
• ing a similar job in another country.
However, it requires very little
thought and very little argument
to demonstrate that this is a com-
plete fallacy. As one of our corres-
pondents points out, "the per capita
output of Canadians is only' about
313 of that of the U.S. Obviously,
therefore, there is less per capita
production here to share and that is
what wealth is -goods and services,
not money," The simple truth is
that in the United States the people
manage to produce more of the
good things of life per head of
population than we produce,
Mr, Gilbert E. Jackson, recently
made the point that basically the
"vastness of the market in the U.S.
compared with the small 'size of
our own market is mainly respon-
sible for the difference in their
production per man -power compar-
ed with our own." •

We have repeated in these pages
many times the fact that wages
cannot advance unless accompanied
by an equivalent rise in productivi-
ty. Canadians are just as capable
and just els hard working as the
people of auy other country in the
world. The miracle is. that despite
our small population, Canadians are
the second richest people in the
world. Let us not feel sorry for
ourselves for not reaching U.S.

the fact that air standard is second

here, about the mouth of the Sav-
annah, Nature sported herself still
in the bright garments of May, . ,
1t was one of thisc happy, or un-
happy accidents—as you choose to
regard it—that brought Eli Whit-
ney to linger,., at Mulberry Grove,
and another that led hits to sit
down and devise the cotton gin.. f1e
had met Catherine Green on the
ship that was taking her back to
Savannah from Rhode island, af-
ter visiting her people there, while
Whitney was going south to Till a
teaching post at the then almost
brand-new University of Georgia,
Front the casual meeting aboard
ship, there developed a warm friend-
ship in the long days at sea between
twenty -seven-year-old 1Vhitney and
the older woman. She invited hint
to visit Mulberry Grove while he
awaited further word from Presi-
dent 13a1dWin, , . .
There was a great deal of talk
about cotton. For the first time, the
Yankee learned about this plant,
The visiting gentlemen kept say-
ing that,, if only some way could
be found to separate the plaguey
seed from the fiber, some more
efficient method than the old-fash-
ionid rollers that were so clumsy
and slow, then they would have a
new and valuable crop for this
region. ,
Mechanics again! blow he had
to put all that behind him, out of
sight and .out of mind, But.Mrs.
Greene was sweetly insistent and he
agreed to try his hand. Aften.all,
he was a guest here, and the lady
had been most kind to hint, He
could do somethisg for her is re-
turn. But he did not share her calm
assurance that he could turn the
trick, He knew too touch about the
problems involved.' Other clever
men must have tried.
He locked himself away in his
roost with a few bolls of cotton and
some Cools, and again he was lost
in that world which so few could
enter with him, once more a lonely
fellow, moody and unsociable. The
stories vary about how long it took.
Sonte have it a matter of ten days;
some weeks, One story is that he
almost gave up and that Mrs.
Greene, herself, suggested the very
simple way out of the dilemma. He
had contrived a .roller with teeth
which would extract the seed from
the fiber, but some of the fiber
clung to the teeth and clogged' the
machine, The widow, informed by
hint of his problem, looked at his
handiwork for a few minutes. Then
her face lighted up. Site went over
and picked up a clothes -brush. Alt,
he got the idea at once. A brush
revolving in the opposite direction
would do it. He devised one, and;
lot he had the new cotton "gin" a
word then applied to the crude rol-
lers then in use, a corruption of
"engine."—From "The Savannah;'

Some weeks ago 1 passed on to
you route information about the
success of a large-scale experiment
in rat control out in the Middle
West. 'I'Ite article caused so mulch
interest that 1 think you'll possibly
welcome something further along
the saute line. And the following
is borrowed=—or perhaps 1 should
s a y 'stolen' — f r o nt Waldemar
Kacmpffacrt, famous science com-
mentator for The New York Times,
* * *
At last week's Boston meeting of
the National Pest Control Associa-
tion, Walter W, Dykstra, United
States Department of the interior,
described a new phase in the con-
stant war waged against an esti-
mated rat population of 300,110(1,0110
and a mouse population that is
probably larger. Anticoagulants are
now used, said Dykstra—chemicals
that relart or prevent blood from
clotting, They are ntixcd with food.
* * *
When. a rat or mouse" eats bait to
which an anticoagulan has been
added, chemical changes associated
with clotting of blood can no longer
•
occur. Animals, espec:al1y rats and
mice, which have a ' very stnall
volume of blood, are weakened,
Lack of oxygen and shock bring
about death.
* * v
Wafarin is the most dramatically
effective of the anticoagulants. It
will not kill overnight no matter
bow strong the dose is, Between
live clays and two weeks must be
allowed: In one unusual case as
many as 550 rats tvere killed in
Texas with fifteen pounds of war-
farin—eayh rodent consuming only
the utin.nmm) amount, Usually lar-
ger doses of warfarin are neces-
sary.
•
Rats feed upon warfarin right up
to their death—except those so
weakened a clay or two before that
they arc unable to reach poisoned
food. Few dead rats are seen. Other
evidence has cbn11rmed their death
in concealed locations, Sonic rats
are smart, In the' laboratory they
refuse to eat much anticoagulant
bait if there is untreated food
around.
The possible danger to pets is
slight. A house cat would probably
have to eat several warfarin -poi-
soned mice daily for a week or more
before it fell sick or succumbed.
Among faun animals, the greatest
danger is to hogs, but there is little
effect on chickens or turkeys,
* , * *
No poison will kill all rats and
mice in a community or even in a
large building. Sanitation must be
improved. * * *
Credit for the introduction of
anticoagulants for the control of
rats and mice goes to an English-
man, J. A. O'Connor, lie used di-
cuniarol on the iisand of Malta in
1947. Warfarin was subsequently
developed and released for sale on
July 1, 1950. Approximately a mil-
lion pounds of the 0.5 per cent
concentrate have already been sold
in the forst of powder and finished
bait under shout 300 different trade
names.
Launching into the spelling les•
son, substitute ' teacher Esther
Smith asked the third-grade class,
"Wouldn't your teacher be pleased
if you all got 100 on the test Fri -
'clay?"
To her surprise, the small boy
spoke up. "1 don't know whether
she'd bt so pleased.
"\Vhy, what do you mean?" ask-
ed the puzzled 1Irs: Smith,
Explained the little boy, "Well,
you see, she promised the whole
,lass a treat if we got 100.

A million Canadians now have jobs
in manufacturing. Ten per cent of
these are in the primary textile indus-
try. (The latest Dominion Bureau fig-
ures
igures are 1,080,000 in manufacturing
and 104,000 of these in primary tex-
tiles.)
Besides leading all other Canadian
industries in numbers employed in
manufacturing, primary textiles also
is away ahead in the size of its payroll.
It is up among the leaders in provid-
