New Members Received •
At Lions Regular Meeting
Tut new members were officially in-
ducted into Club membership at the
regular meeting of the Blyth Lions
Club held .last Thursdoy evening,
Lion President Jack McDougall cal-
led on Lion Bert Gray to induct Lions
`Grover Clare and. Victor Kennedy,
Lion Bert. in his usual excellent man-
ner, reminded the new members of
their responsibilities as LIons. The
Club considered' it an honour to have
!them as members, likewise they should
!consider it an honour to be associated
with the Internn(ional Association of
Lions Clubs, one of the largest Service
Clubs in evdstence, with over half a
million members in more than 60 nat-
ions of the. world, Through their mem-
bership they would meet many new
friends, and would have an opportun-
ity to work for the good of the com-
munity, and the underpriviliged, in the
many worthwhile endeavours under -
'taken by the Blyth club, Lion Bill
Watson was asked to pin the Lions
pins on the new members, and mem-
Ibers present extended the handshake of
good -fellowship, and greeted Lions Vic
and Grover with a rousing Roar.
Guests present included Miss Suzanne
Roux, Alvin Wallace and Elmer Kel-
ler.
The' ladies of Mrs. Audrey Walsh's
group of the United Church W. A.
served a delicious dinner and were duly
thanked by Lion Fred Howson, on be-
half of the Club, with Mrs. Walsh ac-
cepting for her group.
Alvin Wallace was present with his
accordion and entertained with two
well -played and much -appreciated se-
lections for which he was thanked by
Lion President Jack.
Plans were discussed for holding a
Smorgasbord perhaps some time be•
fore Easter and a committee of Lions
1 Frank Bainton, Fred Howson, Grover
Clare and Ray Madill' were appointed to
make arrangements.
Lion BIll Mountain introduced the
evening's guest speaker, Miss Suzanne
Roux, of South Africa, who is a visit-
or at the home of -Mr. and Mrs. Car-
man Hodgins.
Coming from Africa where the lion
is king of the antmals,"nnd addressing
the members of a Lions Club, MISS
Roux said that slie felt her remarks
should be centred around the wild ani-
mal life of Africa. Contrary to what
many people might•still. believe 'dark-
est Africa" where the beasts roamed
at will, was no more. As civilization
advanced the 'wild life retreated just
as it did in other countries, and today
the wild life of Africa is confined to
a large game reserve, where tourists
may travel to see them In their natur-
al element, In one of our large zoos
the animals are caged and the public
view them safely from the outside.
There is a difference in the African
game reserve. There the animals roam
on the outside while the tourists are
in the cages�•their cars, or whatever
mode of transportation they choose to
travel through the reserve. Ed. Note:
It certainly wouldn't be a bicycle.
Miss Roux was thanked for her re-
marks by Lion "Bun" Hall, to which
the President added a word.
The meeting closed with the Roar.

CENTENNIAL REPLYS
SHOW INTEREST
Mr. 'RIchard Procter, Chairman of
the Morris Township Centennial Invit-
ation and Publicity Committee, has re-
ceived the following responses to the
invitations recently sent out by the
committee to former residents in dis-
tant points who have been invited back
for the grand re -union;
Calgary, Alta., Feb. 7th, 1056
Dear Mr, Procter—Thanks for the
invitation to attend the Morris Town-
ship Centennial next August. 1 cer-
tainly wohld like to be able to be there.
Time will tell.
Since leaving the 7th concession in
1912 I have been with the Canadian
Pacific and in the Passenger Traffic
Dept. Would I be asking too much for
a copy of a list of "Morris Township-
ers" to whom these invitations are be-
ing mailed. With such a list we might
be able to "work up a party from
Western Canada" at a special rate, also
arrange for them to arrive in Brussels
or Blyth or Wingham, yes even Walton
in a body.
Wishing you all success for the r.2•
union.
Sincerely yours,
J. E, NIVINS.
Grande Prairie, Alta., Jan, 30, 1956
Mr. Richard Procter,
11,11. 5, Brussels, Ont.
Dear Sir—I just had to write a few
Imes and thank you for the wonderful
invitation to Morris Centennial next
August. I would certainly love to he
there—to visit old Browntown (No, 0)
and to meet again the school mates of
long ago. It is almost forty-three years
since I left Ontario the last time, and
if the others have changed as much as
I have, we would not recognide each
other.
I am enclosing a poem clipped from
a newspaper a few years ago. I don't
know who wrote it (The Old Slate),
but it is a true picture of the old days.
I started to school in '97. I do not
know George Martin, but dimly re-
member you.
Wishing you every success with
your plans and program, and hoping
the weather will be perfect for the oc•
rasion.
Sincerely,
(Lizzie Knox) Mrs. Edgar Sterling,
THE OLD SLATE
Say what has become of the little
old slate,
That we used in school, back in say '99
The little old slate that was bound.
with red felt—
And don't you remember how musty it
smelt,
Or, maybe that smell I'm thinking
about,
Belonged to the sponge that we used
to rub out
The words and the numbers we'd
awkwardly writ
(But some little rascals—my goodness
used spit!)
And then as they dried it—it's hard
to believe—
They used nothing less than their hand,
or sleeve,
That seems like a terrible thing to be
told—
Btlt things arc so different, before you
grow old
And don't you remember that sharp
little sound
The slate pencil made as we scratched

Many fudge recipes came in
response to a Canadian leader's
call. Some called for corn sirup,
some for marshmallow creme,
some beat the candy as soon as
it was cooked, others allowed it
to cool before beating, "Twenty
minutes from start to finish," is
said to be the time required for
making one recipe for fudge,
sent by Mrs, Mary Klinedinst,
"Those eating my fudge say it's
the best, and I've been making
and sharing it for 35 years," she
writes.

Giblet Gravy
If you prefer giblet gravy
to 'the cream type for fried

it according to Mrs. Alberta
Sandford, who writes: "My
mother taught -me to make this
gravy when serving fried chick-
en. It is especially useful if no
one in the family likes the neck
or giblets. Boil in salted water
to cover the tipe ends of wings,
the neck and giblets. Pour off

CHAIRING NEWS — History repeated itself at the George Adlard
home when two -and -a -half -year-old Gail, left, got her head
wedged in the back of a child's rocking chair. Mrs. Adlard knew
just what to do. Five years ago sister Terry, now seven, had a
similar mishap with an identical rocker. Not knowing what to
do at the time, Mrs. Adlard called her husband home from
work. He freed Terry by sawing out the back slat. So when Gail
got stuck, her mother just ran for the trusty saw. Above, the
sisters show there is no more danger in putting their heads
through the chair backs. ,

School Health
Examinations
In the February issue of that
exceedingly interesting maga.
sine "CORONET," there is a
thought-provoking article en-
titled "The Sham of School
Health Examinations" by Wal-
ter A. Gardell, Director of the
Division of Physical Welfare
in Paterson, New Jersey. While
the conditions described do. not
exist everywhere, some of . the
facts brought out seem to : be
worthy of widespread attention.
• • •
Toward the end of the sum-
mer, a five-year-old New Jer-
sey child began to complain of
stomach pains, He seemed tired,
listless and unhappy.
"Ought to take him to a doc-
tor," 'the boy's father said.
His mother agreed, but add-
ed,. "Let's' wait. He'll have a
medical examination before he
starts kindergarten."
A few weeks later the child,
along with other kindergarten-
ers, was examined. "Nothing
the matter," the doctor report-
ed. "Just see that he has plenty .
of fresh air, rest and affection,
Don't give him any sweets be-
tween meals. He'll be all right,"
The parents paid little atten-
tion after that to the boy's con-
stant whining, his stomach up-
sets and listlessness. Not un-
til two years later did they fin-
ally take him to the family doc-
tor: There they hear a frighten-
ing diagnosis; cancer of the
stomach!
Fortunately the cancer could
still be treated successfully, but
the parents looked back bitterly
on all the time their son had
had to suffer pain and unde-
served scoldings.
Too late, thousands of un-
happy parents are realizing the
shocking truth about school
medical examinations. Medical
and educational authorities con-
demn the situation as a national
disgrace.
Though we are spending $30,-
000,000 a year for school exam-
'nations, conservative medical
estimates indicate that only one
pupil in 15 gets an adequate
examination during his entire
school career,
The basic trouble is this:
what has been passing for a
school medical examination isn't
one at all.
In thousands of schools nei-
ther doctors. nor medically
trained personnel administer
the tests. Instead, the principal,
a teacher, or even an older
pupil, officiates,
The children line up, one
steps forward, the tester says,
"Say ah," and peers into the
throat. A crude whisper test for
hearing and the good, but very
limited, Snellen test for vision
complete the "physical check-
up." Yet on the strength of this
almost meaningless examine_
tion, the parents receive a re-
port that, physically, all is well
with their child.
Or suppose the examination
is made by a doctor — probably
by an overworked public health
officer or a private physician
taking needed time away from
his own practice to do this work
for a pittance, The chances are
that the children go through an
assembly line processing which
Is little different in its results,
One doctor remarked in disgust,
"How can you call glancing
over 40 kids In a morning ses-
sion giving medicals?"
The AMA states: "The physi-
cian can perform a good screen-
ing examination and counsel
with the ,child and his parents
at the rate of fdur or five per
hour, providing certain screen-
ing tests that can be perform-
ed by a nurse or teacher have
been completed earlier." Yet,
of 600 medical societies answer-
ing a nationwide AMA ques-
tionaire, less than one third de-
voted 15 or more minutes to an
examination in the schools; 183
admitted spending five to nine
minutes; 89 as little as one to
four minutes!
In addition, the AMA says
the child should be checked for
height and weight and ques-
tioned for complaints suggestive
of illness. He (should be given
special vision tests, a hearing
test with an audiometer, a den-
tal examination by a dentist or
dental hygienist, a tuberculin
test, and a chest X ray.
The majority of school exam-
inations are conducted right in
the schoolroom, where there is
no privacy, The result is .that
the doctor, fails to spot troubles
that can only be revealed when
the child removes most of his
clothing. It has been estimated
that only eight per cent of the
pupils strip for examination. In
fact, many cities actually have
local rules or customs which
prohibit the removal of cloth-
ing for a school medical exam-
ination,
No wonder doctors miss com-
pletely cases like that of a girl
who 'had a spinal deformation
that was concealed by her
clothes, or of the boy who had
a hernia that would have been
seen had he stripped.
Chest X ray examination
should be part of' adequate
diagnosis, but it is doubtful that
one student in 20 routinely gets
one, When parents of a first -
grader in an eastern suburban
community had her X-rayed by
a private physician, it was
found that she had TB. The en-
tire class was the X-rayed and
three others were also found to
have tuberculosis. Moreover, so
did the young teacher, who was
identified as the source of in-
fection,
Millions of school children
are still given hearing tests by
the crudest methods, ,when we
have available an excellent de-
vice for testing hearing, the
audiometer., Millions more get
only a simple test of their vis-
ual acuity, in spite of the fact
that we have modern machines
that provide tests of all phases
of vision.
But do we need physical ex-
aminations in the schools at all?
Can't the whole thing be done
by private physicians to whom
parents might take their chil-
dren? Medical authorities say
"No!" mainly because most par-
ents would not take the time
and and trouble to do so. The
plain fact, as stated by the Sec-
ond National Conference of
Physicians and Schools, is that,
on all economic levels, "It is
uncommon for children who
seem healthy to be taken to the
doctor after their second year
of life."
The need for school examina-
tions has been dramatically
proven by cases where the ex-
aminations have been thorough.
When the Board of Education
of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts,
had the entirestudent body of
1,575 take special vision tests,
there were 307 failures, Inci-
dentally, only 132 of these
would have been discovered by
the sketchy methods usually
used in school vision tests.
The state of Pemsylvania in-
stituted a program of thorough
examinations, and found that
out of approximately 1,000,000
children examined in one year,
some 400,001 had medical de-
tects.
What can be done to make
the medical examination sys-
tem 1n your school work?
Abandon the force of annual
examinptions, . The AMA be-
lieves that four thorough ex-
aminations, given at regular in-'
tervals, the first before the
child starts kindergarten, will
reveal health difficulties.
In a special study in Roches-
ter, New York, where three
such examinations are given, it
was found that during the year
following the admission exam-
ination only one child out of
997 had developed a serious
condition which had not been
and could not have been ob-
served by the teacher.
Organize community forces.
Perhaps the best way to do this
is to follow the example of com-
munities like Bronxville, New
York, Here standards are set,
and a watchful eye kept on
school health problems by ac-
tive health committees which
include not only the official
school physicians and school
nurses, but the school princi-
pals, five general practitioners,
five pediatricians, and several
representatives of the PTA.
Have parents present at ex..
aminations. In the first place,
says the AMA, this increases
the likelihood that the exam-
ination will be complete; it it
is incomplete, the parents will
at least not receive the false im-
pression thht it was.
Also, parents can give vital
information that will often not
turn up in examination, In
Elizabeth, New Jersey, a par-
ent told the examining physi-
cian that her child sometimes
lacked bladder control, Acting
on this information, the doctor
ordered 'tests, which revealed
diabetes,
Provide adequate facilities,
All schools where examinations
are to be made should have
rooms which insure privacy,
Children should not be embar-
rassed by having possible -ail-
ments brought to -the attention
of their classmates,
Give examining doctors more
help, That means, in the first
place, teachers better trained in
medical matters. Too many
schools expect teachers to play
some part in observing the phy-
sical condition of children, yet
do not give them any sort of
training that would help them
spot ailments,
Scores of communities have
used volunteer helpers with
gratifying results, In Phoenix,
Arizonaparents learned to use
the audiometer and tackled the
giving of hearing examinations
in teams. One mother operated
the machine, another took the
readings and a third sheperded
the children.
All this may take time, for
sweeping changes cannot be
made ' overnight, While your
community is working toward
decent medical examinations
for its children, you owe 'your"
own children the protection of
a proper examination by the
family physician at least once
every three years,
We live in times of great
medical achievments. Yet, won-
derful as they are, we can make
an equal contribution to the
health of America's children by
wiping out the scandal of our
inadequate school medical ex-
aminations.

THE DARK
CONTINENT
Africa is three times the size
Of the United States and is in-
habited by 200 millions of peo-
ple who speak at least seven
hundred different languages,
The principal characteristics of
the continent are: immense t
compact shape, a very regular
coastline, and scarcity of navi-
gable rivers. Five thousand
miles. long from north to south,
four thousand live ' hundred
miles wide from east to west,
Africa has room ' within Its
coasts to accommodate the
United States, Australia,. and
India; and this would still leave
room for France, Spain, Italy,
England, and a number of other,
European . countries!
Generally speaking, Africa is
a great, plateau whose average
height above sea level is about
2,000 feet, It has a smaller pro.
portion of low-lying lands than
any other continent. The escape-
ment, or edge of - thdplateau,
does not reach the seacoast but
is divided from the `sea by a
strip of lowland which varies
greatly in width, being narrow-,
est in Algeria and South Africa,
and widest in Mauretania and
Somaliland.
No matter where the traveler
lands in Africa, his progress in-
to the interior of the country
will always be barred by' this
escarpment, Trains must labori-
ously ascend it in zigzag grades,
and vessels that attempt to sail
up any of Africa's rivers sooner
or later find their passage
blocked either by rapids or by
erormous waterfalls, This is the
major cause of the delay in ex-
ploration which resulted in Af-
rica's being known the world
over as the Dark Continent.
Although averaging 2,0,20 feet
above asea level, the great con-
tinental plateau of Africa is by
no means level; and while there
are no great mountain ranges
such as the Rockies or the
Himalayas, there are a number
of isolated- -masses of lofty
mountains, some of which are
snowcapped all the year round,
such as the Atlas Mountains of
Morocco and the famous Moun-
tains of the Moon (Ruwenzori)
in Central Equatorial Africa,
Some of the peaks of Ethopia
are also snowcapped: The high:
est of Africa's mountains are
Mount Kenya, 17,040 feet high,
and Mount Kilimanjaro, whose
summit looks very, much like
an inverted saucer floating in
the sky, nearly 20,000 feet above
the surrounding plain..
The African plateau is also
distinguished by several im-
mense basins in which the
drainage is toward the interior
rather than toward the sea. The
Sahara itself is such a basin;
north of the equator, while the
Kalahari Desert is another but
smaller one in the south, It has
been estimated that about half
of Africa is made up of such
internal depressions, drained or
undrained, among which aro
swamp and lake regions as well
as desert basins. — From "Intro-
ducing Africa," by Carveth
Wells. •

Potatoes that become watery
or mushy when cooked have
probably been stored at the
wrong tetmperature,
* • • •
L. G. Denby of the Experi-
mental Farm at Summerland,
B.C,, advises that potatotes
should be stored In a dark well
venttilated storage, fruit cellar
or pit in which the temperattire
can be held at 38 to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. The humidity of
the air should be 80 to 90 per
cent. Under these conditions
most late varieties will remain
in sound condition throughout
the winter,
* «
Potatoes should not be used
immediately after they are re-
moved from storage conditions,
If stored at a low temperature, a
high proportion of the carbo-
hydrates in the tuber are con-
verted to the form. of . sugars.
Potatoes in this condition are
inclined ;o be sweet and always
watery when cooked. Potatoes
should be removed from storage
and kept in a warm place at
temperatures of 70 to 80'degrees
Fahrenheit for a week or ten
days before they are prepared
for the table. This higher tem-
perature will cause the sugars
to change into starches. When
cooked they will be -white and
floury and appealing to the sight
as well as to the taste.

According to the experts caus-
es of cannibalism in the poultry
flock are often obscure; the cure
for such a condition is unknown.
When an outbreak occurs pre-
ventive action must be taken at
once, All affected birds should
be removed from the flock, and
if possible, other birds showing
a strong tendency towards pick-
ing should also be removed.
Anything that might possibly
contribute to the condition such
as poor nests, insufficient hopper
space, etc., should be corrected,
• • 0
Outbreaks are frequently at-
tributed to overcrowding, lack
of feeder space, high tempera-
ture, insufficient and, improper•
ly constructed nests and mal-
nutrition. Though outbreaks may
occur under such conditions in
some flocks, otther flocks under
similar conditions have been
free of cannibalism. There is no
adequate explanation for this
behavior.
Inextensive feeding trials,
cannibalism could rarely be re-
lated'to feed, feeding procedure
or environment. This led to the
assumption that dietary dificien.
cies are rarely responsible for
outbreaks.
N * •
In general, good poultry man-
agement will undoubtedly keep
the flock healthy and produc-
tive, and do much towards hold-
ing cannibalism down to a mini-
mum. Anti -pick ointmtnts have
been tried with some success
but are considered messy to
handle and require 'constant ob-
servation .of the flock, Also,

the nostril. Debeaking may be
done with a knife or shears but
the electric debeaker is more
efficient since it cuts and cauter-
izes at the same time, If the
birds are debeaked at housing,
or just before corning into lay,
further debeaking is usually not
necessary during the laying
year, However, this operation
may be done at any time and
generally does not affect egg
production.
Older Britons
Have It Easier
As the number of elderly
people increases in Britain, so'
the range of service is extended
to help them live normal lives
I their own homes.
The slogan "Age Is Opportu-
nity" has been adopted by the
National Old People's ,Welfare
Council, a summit council co-
ordinating and promoting the
work of local committees.
In the past in Britain, as in
other countries, befriending the
lonely and those unable to leave
their homes was often left to
personal acquaintances. Where
the work is developed locally
now, Old People's Welfare Com-
mittees and groups associated
with them seek out those who
would like a friend or visitor.
Five thousand clubs cater, for
the social needs of elderly peo-
ple. These people often have a
special place in the housing
schemes of local authorities.
The National Old People's
Welfare Council coordinates ac-
tivities of state and voluntary
bodies. It holds national and
international • conferences and
organizes training schemes for
workers.
It devises means of meeting
new needs as they arise. It arts
as a center of information for
on all subjects regarding the
welfare of elderly people,
Details of the many services
to supplement those provided by
the statutory authorities are
listed in the council's quarterly
bulletin, "Age Is .Opportunity "
These range from friendly visit-.
ing to "meals on wheels," clubs,
laundry schemes, night watch-
ers and "sitters -up."
Even in villages, where in
theory everybody knows every-
body else, the council finds the
needs of the elderly are some-
times unknown or unappre-
ciated. The suggestion that local
committees appoint an "old
people's friend" is working well
in many rural areas.
Homes for the elderly are
becoming an accepted part of
local housing ,schemes, Although
the building of more Homes
with a capital "H" and exten-
sions to existing ones were an-
nounced in the council's last
progress report, the tendency it
says, is for conversion of large
old houses into flatlets or tor
experiment with some modified
scheme of "boarding out" as
pioneered in Plymouth and
Exeter.
The revival of interest in this
boarding -out scheme has led the
council to print in its report
a list of safeguards to be ob-
served in planning this activity.

Stake Your Claim
On .The Moon
Rival land agents have been.
falling out over their claims
to property on the moon. The
row started when Robert Coles,
chairman of the Interplanetary
Development Corporation in the
U.S,, sold deeds to one -acre
plots on the moon at one dollar
apiece. There were 4,500 buyers.
Soon afterwards, twenty-sev-
'en-year-old Harry Hall alleged
that the.I.D.C, was claim -jump-
ing on his property. "They're
invading my land," he said.
"I've already sold 2,000 one-
. acre plots at one dollar each
and my claim to 'the moon was
filed in March, long before
theirs."
New York's Attorney -Gener-
al has been investigating the
set-up. Coles's offer comprised:
"1. A general quit -claim to an
acre of good crater bottomland,
the buyer receiving the fishing
and winter sports rights near his
plot. 2. A brochure describing
the wonders of ,the moon. 3. A
map that shows the purclitiser
how he can see his land through
a powerful telescope."
Coles, who docs not provide •
transportation to the noon, says
• long study has convinced lam
that an expedition will soon go
there and that he will be a
member, He agrees that many
people may regard the enter-
prise as a joke,
These claims have- followed
recent prophecies that man will
land on the moon before the
end of this century.
Some scientists say the moon
is moving away from the earth
at the rate of eighty-eight yards
a century. In January, 1940, the
U.S; Army Signal Corps made
radar contact with the moon by
sending out ultra-high frequen-
cy waves. The echo came back
two and a half seconds later.
If a man of ordinary agility
could get to the moon and live
and breathe there, he would
have no difficulty in jumping
over an obstacle thirty feet high
because the moon's gravitational
pull is weaker than the earth's.
One Pleasure Most
City Folks Miss
One of the tragedies of urban
life is that the city dweller has
so little access to the Farmers'
Almanac, For nearly 140 con-
secutive years this earthy jour-
nal has been providing a unique
service for farm families, with
enough philosophy, poetry, hu-
mor, agriculture advice, recipes,
homemaking hints, canning tips
and fiscal facts in one annual
issue to last all year. The
original almanac cannot be
bought at newsstands, even in
the farm regions, for its dis-
tribution has been limited to
local areas under the sponsor-
ship of business or institutional
organizations. This probably has
helped to preserve the old-time
flavor of the publication.
Of course, the almanac is pub-
lished principally to serve as a
calendar (listing all the prin-
cipal holy days of the Episcopal,
Catholic, Hebrew and Greek
churches) and as a weather fore-
caster. For those who are mak-
ing plans for Labor Day are
warned well in advance. The al-
manac predicts : "Windy weath-
er. Mostly fair in central and
western sections, but very
windy, Tornado weather. Wind-
storms in the Atlantic states."
For those who expect to rise
early that day -or to get home
late from the night before -the
sun will come up at 5.24 a,m.
and the day will be 13 hours 14
minutes long. City -dwellers may
look upon this information as
purely incidental, but many of
the older farmers plan their
lives according to hte almanac.
They place more faith in pre-
dictions made more than a year
in advance by the almanac
than by the forecasts of meteor-
ologists using the most ad-
vanced equipment.
The almanac even offers a
rare public service by inform-
ing its readers of their "lucky"
and "unlucky" days during the
year. For instance, a person
born between March 20 and
April 20 is urged to make im-
portant transactions on Thurs-
days. He is cautioned to stay in
the house on Mondays, however,
for they are his "unlucky" days.
Along with this invaluable in-
telligence are such unfarmlike
recipes as for lobster Newburg
and oyster omelet a ]a Inter-
national House of New Orleans.
The little gems of philosophy
scattered throughout the al-
manac are drawn from thinkers
so illustrious as Winston Church-
ill, St. Augustine, Theophrastus
and Samuel Johnson. There are
also homelier observations, such
as : "Getting a husband is like
buying a used car, You don't see
it like it is -but like it's going
to be when you get it fixed up,"
Or : "Don't worry about getting
older; when you stop getting
older, you're dead." The humor
Is more likely to evoke chuckles
around the family stove than in
a sophisticated setting. An ex-
ample : "Two ants were running
at a great speed across a 'Page
ina magazine. 'Why do we have
to run so fast?' panted the one
behind. 'Can't you read?' asked
the other, 'It says tear along
dotted line: " But no matter
how tastes in humor differ, city
folk are missing one of life's
more interesting experiences by
being denied the almanac. From
The New York Times.
TOUGH LIFE
Before engaging t h e new
maid, the lady of the house asked
her: "Why did you leave your
last place?"
"To tell you the truth, ma'am,"
the young girl replied, "I just
couldn't stand the way the mas-
ter and missus used to fight."
"Dear me! Do you mean they
were always quarrelling?"
"Yes, ma'am, When it wasn't
me and 'im it was me and 'er."
It, Barclay Warren B.A. B.O.
Jesus Demands a Choice
Luke 19:1-10
Memory Selection: Choose you
this day whojn ye will serve;
. . . but as for me, and my
house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
In the unprinted portion of
today's lesson we have the story
of the rich young' ruler, He
chose his riches in preference
to the way of the cross. He went
away from Jesus sorrowfully.
The story of Zacchaeus is in
sharp contrast. Zacchaeus chose
Jesus. He gave away half of his
wealth and prepared to make
full restitution for anything he
had taken wrongfully. He re-
ceived Jesus joyfully.
We must all make a choice.
If we forsake all and follow
Jesus we find happiness. In Him
there is fulness of life, Sin af-
fords some pleasures for a sea-
son but only for a season. The
joy that Christ gives is eternal.
The words of the memory se-
lection were spoken by Joshua
near the close of his life. He
emphasized the necessity of
making a choice, Then he set
a good example by announcing
his own good choice for him-
self and his family. The parents
so often set the pattern which
the children follow. We are al-
ways influencing some by the
choices we make.
B.L. Olmstead, author of Ar-
nold's Commentary tells of a
Japanese girl's choice. Ishii-san
was a beautiful Japanese young
woman from an ardent Bud-
dhist family . She was impressed
with the joy of four girls who
had mound the Lord at a mis-
sion, and she came to a meet-
ing upon their invitation. The
way of salvation was explained
to her, and she admitted that
she needed the Lord. Mrs. Edna
Kuba asked her, "So you want
him more than anything else
in the world?" Her sincere reply
was, "Yes, I do." There was
trouble at home. She could no
longer offer food to idols as her
mother did. Ishii-san's friend
was studying for the priesthood..
They were engaged. But she,
couldn't marry a Buddhist
priest. Finally she broke with
him. God is wonderfully helping
her as she is living the Chris-
tian life and helping others.
Modern David
Pierre Perry, a former French
boxer, went to Utah to hunt
uranium. When the deer season
opened up, he switched his
Geiger counter for a rifle. But
Pierre didn't have any luck.
So he switched the rifle for a
sling -shot to bring down a
chicken hawk. That's when a
1&5-1b. buck appeared. Pierre
flipped a ball bearing into the
sling -shot and let fly. The pellet
caught the deer just below the
temple. Pierre finished off the
animal with his knife.
He was hunting at the time
with Fred C. Clemore, of Marys -
vale, Utah. They both swear to
the modern David feat.

VICTIMS OF RED DOUBLE TALK - "Reactionary" is what these
stone lions are officially termed in Communist China. That's
why they were removed in 1951 from in front of the Communist
Bank of China in Hong Kong and replaced with a pair labeled
"'progressive." The Reds gave these "reactionary" statues to the
University of Hong Kong, but university officials didn't know
what to do with them. So the statues have been sitting on the
campus, unmounted, apparently unwanted.

Question 1, • Do you think that it hi
necessary to have government farm
• marketing boards rather than producer
boards to (a) Efficiently handle price
supports and surplus disposal. Answer;
Government marketing boards can
mora efficiently handle price supports
and surplus disposal especially where
a majority of it has to be exported,.
(b) - Regulate volume of production
and marketing. Answer (1) Producers
can handle marketing and production
of their own products better than Gov-
..,"ernment boards, providing they have
legislation to control them. (2) Gov-
ernment controlled board would be
I most feasible way of applying a non-
'_ incentive floor price and if the gov-
i • ernment is as good a salesman as they
are tax collectors, there would be no
marketing problems. (c) Stabilize farm
prices. ' Answer; Producer marketing
boards should be able to help stabilize
' ' farm prices with the help of the Gov-
;', ernment. The Farm Forum's Junior

HOG PRODUCER MEETING IN

"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 33
years old, have a good job, and
a lovely small child for whom
I'm trying my best .to provide
a good home, I am, however,
recovering from an unhappy
marital situation (the alcohol
problem again) and now that I
am free, I would like to find
some good man to share the love
that my child and I could give.
"I've been using your sugges-
tions, taking classes and being
active in church work, So far,
no luck. Do you have any other
ideas?
"Or could you wrap up some
line, lonely man in tissue paper
and send him along. I never
used to have trouble getting
dates, Have I lost that much
charm in the last few years?
Perhaps I'm just out of practice,
•but I am still—

First, don't lose confidence
in yourself. You have lived
through a shattering experi-
ence that is bound to leave its
scars for a while. Many in
your present situation waste
time and energy feeling sorry
for themselves, which lands
that chip on the shoulder
which is so repelling. Your
sense of humor has survived,
you still have that light touch
that attracts friends of both
sexes, and which some males
complain most women lack.

"NEVER BEFORE"
"Dear Anne Hirst: I certainly
need your good advice. I am a
high-school junior, and in love
with a boy who insists that I
go steady. But he seldom takes
me anywhere, and I wait so
long for him to invite me to
school dances that sometimes
I've had to go by myself. Eie
never asks to bring me home,
but gets mad if somebody else
does.
"We never talk about things
that matter, and sometimes I
really get bored. I know I'm
missing other nice dates by only
seeing him, but I love him truly

like this before.

Now what would you 'say
about this for a coincidence?
Hardly had -the ink dried on my
column last week than Partner
was out to a farm meeting—
and who should be the guest
speaker but Professor D. R.
Campbell. Remember—it was
he who said there were too
many low income farmers. AV
this meeting he did not touch on
that topic at all. He was speak-
ing mostly on the marketing of
farm products and all that he
said was very practical and
down-to-earth, It was two or
three years since Partner had
an opportunity of hearing Dr,
Campbell acid on this, as on
previous occasions, he thought
he was very appreciative of the
average farmer's problems. No
doubt if Dr. Campbell's re-
marks a little while ago about
"too many farmers" had not
been take.i out of their context
they would probably have been
better understood. That happens
so often — a somewhat startling
remark is picked up by city pa-
pers for the sake. of a good
story and published without
due regard to what had been the
object of the address. •

Dear knows there is enough
that is startling going on these
days without the necessity of
contorting and exaggerating the
issue to make a .story . , , as tor
instance the weekly wash visible
from the British Prime Mini-
ster's country residence. Even
the B.B.C. got a story out of
that. Apparently a compromise
was reached by providing the
'Woman With the Wash' with
an extra piece ofground for a
clothesline. 13y that means her
washday schedule was undis-
turbed but yet the family un-
derwear was kept out of sight
of 'the house next door'.
Now I wonder — did anyone
get any plants frozen by that
cold north-east wind last week?
I was afraid I might, but thank
goodness I didn't. However, af-
ter having to move my plants
out to the diningroom I decided
not to put them back into the
sunroom again because there is
no heat there at all. So I chose
a seldom -used south room to
house them for the remainder of
the winter. I like my plants but
I can't see the sense of letting
them create any more work
than is strictly necessary. And
house plants can make work of
that 1 am sure. For instance
there is an elderly ,lady who
has African violets all over the
house. No one realized how
much time and effort she spent
on those violets and other plants
until the lady herself became
very ill and the care of the
plants fell to her stenographer-
; ,daughter, who was naturally
away from 'home most of the
day. When the mother was able
to take an interest again in what
was going on around her, her
main concern was about her
plants — were they all right,
had any of them died --was
Mary sure she hadn't over -
watered them? Her attitude is
understandable. The plants were
her hobby and provided her
with an active interest in life.
Too active, in fact,
There are many such people
— and if it isn't plants it is
something else. Of course, ev-
eryone should have a hobby of,•
some kind but once a . hobby
runs wild it becomes an obses-
sion. If it cannot be easily cared
for by one person then it needs
to be curtailed. A few house
plants can be just as rewarding
in interest as a hundred. Now
I suppose I have given you the
opportunity to say—"And what
about your own?" Well, mine
are not permanent house plants.
Except for a few ferns — which
I couldn't do without — my
plants are mostly geranium slips
intended for the flower garden
next spring, And you will agree
that no one can have geraniums
in the garden without taking
care of slips in the house. Un-
less, 'of course, one buys them
— but that idea doesn't appeal
to me.
There are ot her hobbies
which,' if uncontrolled, make a ,
lot of work. Antiques, for in-
stance. Ornaments, crystal and
pottery, Think of the dusting in-
volvedl There are many such
collections in old country homes.
I don't imagine anyone living
in a subdivision could indulge
in such a hobby. . Maybe that is
one reason why I hope we nev-
er have to leave our big house,
because I have My hobby vices
too, I won't say what my col-
lecting mania is — but my fa-
mily could tell you! Joy says --
"It is to be hoped you don't
have to move out in a hurry"
However, it doesn't make work
for anyone but myself — and if,
and when, I fade out of the pic-
ture it will make a glorious
bonfire.
Incidentally, if you happen to
be a hoarder or a hobbyist and
there is danger of it becoming
an obsession, then you should

read "My Brother's Keeper" by
Marcia Davenport. It is the
story of events prior to the
discovery of the dead bodies of
two elderly brothers in a huge
house in New York, packed al-
most solid with tunnelled news-
papers, grand plana and all
kinds ot junk. it is a terrific
story, somewhat gruesome to
parts, but perfectly logical. And
you close the book in sympathy
with the brothers and a feeling
that the tragedy could have
been avoided had they been
given the opportunity of leading
normal lives in their younger
days.
Modern
Etiquette...
Q: How docs a widow's or
divorcee's second wedding differ
from her first?
A. She does not wear white
or carry orange blossoms, and
she avoids an elaborate cere-
mony. She is usually unattend-
ed, although she may have one
bridesmaid. Her costume for a
church wedding is an afternoon
frock and hat, or a traveling
suit. Her father or other male
relative gives her away, pre-
cisely as at the first wedding.
Q. What is th's proper way to
ask for a person over a tele-
phone?
A, The proper manner Is to
ask, "May I speak to Anne,
please?" And when the person
replies with, "Just a moment,
please," or, "I'll call her," don't
forget to add a "Thank you."
Q. Does the receiving of a
wedding announcement require
a gift?
A. No.
Q. Is It considered improper
to add postscripts to social let-
ters? •
A, While there is nothing im-
proper about it, it is far bet-
ter to include everything you
have to say in the body of the
letter, . and thus indicate that
you have put more thought, and
less haste, into its composition.
Q. When a man is in an ele-
vator in an office building, and
a woman acquaintance enters,
should he remove his hat?
A. He should lift his hat in
greeting, but it is not necessary
for him to remove it in an office
elevator.
Q. When refilling Adater
glasses at the table, should they
be lifted or left on the table as
the water is poured?
A, Left on the table.
Q. When rising from the din-
ner table, should one push one'a
chair back under the table?
A, In someone's home, you
should leave the chair where it
is, However, in a restaurant it
is better to push it back close to
the table so that it is out of the
way Qf any one who might be
passing.
Q. When introducing a person •
to a group of people, is it neces-
sary to repeat his name 1e
everyone In the group?
A. Usually once is enough.
However, if the group is large
and there is a chance someone
did not catch the name, it may
be repeated.
Q,• When having a piece ot
silver for a baby marked with
only one initial, should it be the
first or the Last?
A. The first.
Q. Is It proper to remove serv-
ing dishes or dinner plates first
from the table? -
A. The dinner plates should
be removed first; then the serv-
ing dishes,

Church Broadcast
Heard By Millions
On 'a Sunday recently a
preacher was thundering over
the radio against adultery.
While millions listened in their
homes, a man was driving along
a lonely country road to meet
a woman of easy morals, He too
was listening, on his car radio.
The words he heard turned
his lust to fear,. then to repent-
ance, Five. minutes later he
made a U-turn; five days later
he joined the church and began
a new Christian life. He wrote
the radio program about it,
That sameday, in an adjoin.
ing state, another listener put
away a shotgun he had loaded
to blow out the brains of his
divorced wife, He too wrote the
program.
These letters, anal millions of
others, are in the files of a re-
markable 39 -year-old organiza-
tion, the Lutheran Laymen's
League, sponsor of the first reg-
ular religious program to be
broadcast on radio, The pro -1
gram is The Lutheran Hour,
pioneer of all the church pro-
grams on the air today.
Behind the League stands one
of America's most contradictory
religious groups — a strange
blend of fiercely orthodox the-
ology and enlightened social
philosophy. It is The Lutheran
Church—Missouri Synod.
Those who know of the Synod's
rigid adherence to doctrine find
it hard to believe that one of its
bodies; the Lutheran Human
Relations Association in Amer-
ica, recently urged colleges to
force fraternities and sororities
to eliminate race and national-
ity restrictions.
• The story of the Missouri
Synod goes back to 1839, when
the first Lutherans arrived from
Germany and settled in Perry
County, Missouri. Eight years
later, 37 of their leaders, zealous
for "The pure and uncorrupted
explanation of the divine word,"
met in Chicago and combined
their 12 congregations and 22
ministers in the Missouri Synod.
Whose early builders of the
Synod had missionary ardor in
full measure, but even they
could not have foreseen today's
0,000 churches and more than
2,000,000 Members; or that the
Synod would become a leader

in the use of a yet unborn medi-
um of communication,
It was the 85,000 member Lu-
theran Laymen's League, com-
posed largely of shrewd Mid-
west businessmen and farmers,
that helped the Synod become
the second largest Lutheran
body in the country, In 1930,
perhaps the most important year
of the Synod's history, the Lea-
gue started The Lutheran Hour
over a 32 -station network, "to
bring Christ to a troubled
world,"
The Hour's first speaker, Dr,
Walter A, Maier, urged listeners
to "cultivate a faith built on the
sure promises of the Bible, not
on hoarded wealth and guilt -
edged investments." Neverthe-
less, it was lack of wealth and
investments, "guilt -edged" or
otherwise, that almost starved
The Lutheran Hour in its cradle,
Radio time was monstrously ex-
pensive, and in 1931 the pro-
gram went off the air.
But the Lutherans had faith
in the program and by 1935 they
had raised enough money to get
it back on the air.
Almost immediately, it be-
came clear that they had been
right in thinking the depression -
ridden public was in the mood
for a hard-hitting religious pro-
gram. Four years later it went
international, and today The
Lutheran Hour is heard over
1,250 stations, in 56 languages
and in 65 countries. More than
20,000,000 listen in each week,
and the yearly letter count
stands at well over half a mil-
lion.
Many of the listeners are be-
hind the Iron Curtain. Recently,
a speaker ventured the hope
that listeners would say "Amen"
to a declaration of faith in God.
During the next few days, hun-
dreds of postcards arrived from
behind the Curtain. All were
unsigned, naturally, and bore
just one word: "Amen."
Much' of the program's suc-
cess in its early years is attri-
buted to. Dr. Maier, a flamboy.

never really believed he could
be heard on the air unless he'
shouted at the top of his lungs.
Nor was he one to spare the

booth he would strip to his un-
dershirt for greater comfort, car-
ing not for dignity where the
work of God was concerned. At
his death in 1950,, even unbe-
lievers who had smarted under
his words had come to respect
him as a devoted and selfless
servant of Christ,
To millions, Dr. Maier was

passing, the program seemed to
lose much of its impact, al-
though the various guest speak-
ers who followed were out.
standing ministers.
Then last September a new
and vibrant voice was heard,
and word spread that The Lu-
theran Hour was back on the
rails. The voice belonged to Dr.
Oswald Hoffmann, an unusual
combination of good-natured,
relaxed extrovert,' scholar and
passionate man of the Lord.
Dr. Hoffmann is more than
six feet tall and heavy -set but
he moves swiftly and easily.
His broad face and high fore-
head are reminiscent of the late
author, Thomas Wolfe. Also like
Wolfe, he possesses 'great phy-
sical vigor which comes over

histrionics, and he attracts the

42, Dr, Hoffmann has a highly
successful. record as director of
public relations for the Missouri
Synod, a job he retains, •
The son of a Nebraska min-
ister, Dr. Hoffmann holds de-
grees in the arts and divinity,
and was • ordained in 1939. For
seven years he taught Latin and

Since his radio ministry be-
gan, Dr. Hoffmann has had to
spend much of his time away
from his wife Marcia and their
four children, Peter, Paul, John,
and Katherine Anrt who was
born three weeks before he took
over the program.
Dr. Hoffmann is fiercely de-
termined that the Synod shall
get the last penny of value from
a radio program that costs
$1,300,000 a year. And "value"
to Dr. Hoffmann lies in the
Biblical injunction to "preach
the Gospel to every creature."
About half the program's bud-
get goes for foreign ,broadcasts.
For most, transcriptions are
made in this country by multi-
lIngual ministers or United Na-
tions translators. The results
have been excellent. Japanese
stations, for instance, draw 200,-
000 letters yearly, and 90 per
cent of the writers enroll in the
Bible Correspondence Course
offered during the program,
Radio Goa receives letters in
such Indian regional languages
as Gujarati, Kanarese, Marathi,
Punjabi, Pushtu, Tamil, Telugu
,and Urdu, Radio Ceylon has re-
ceived mail from Iceland, half

In the U. S., The Lutheran
Hour usually originates from
Station KFUO on the campus of
Concordia Seminary in St. Louis,
The Mutual network and a
number of independent stations
carry it at varying hours every
Sunday to every state of the
Union. In Texas, 56 stations use
the program; North Carolina is
runner-up with 36.
A substantial portion of the
mail from listeners comes to the
League's St. Louis office where
75 full -lime employees are kept
busy handling it and other Lu.
theran Hour business. Many of
the letters seek personal advice;
and these are either answered
from the 'St. Louis office by
clergymen with counselling ex-
perience or the writer is' refer-
red to a Synod pastor in his
area,
The Missouri Synod has not
neglected the possibilities of TV
either. Four years ago, This Is
The Life, the serialized story of
the devoutly Lutheran. Fisher
Family, had its premiere. To-
day it is seen weekly on more.
than 250 stations.
Critics have called This Is The
Life a religious soap -opera, ,But
10,000,000 people watch and love
the Fishers as they manage to
get involved,- directly or indi-
rectly, with' an airplane' crash,
a fixed basketball game, a case
of amnesia, an automobile acci.
dent, and various other difficul-
ties and disasters.
Incidentally, for a strictly
non -gambling group, the Synod
overlooks no bets. One of its
members, Mrs. Carl Deitemeyer
of Lincoln, Nebraska, was named
"Mrs, America, of 1956" Worried
Lutherans were, of course, in-
formed that a bathing suit ap-
pearance was not involved in
the Mrs, America competition.
This Is The Life has one great
advantage over The Lutheran
Hour—it gets free time " as a
TV "public service" program.
The Lutheran Hour must pay,
but to the Lutheran Church —
Missouri Synod, it's worth every
cent it costs. It would - more
than justify its expense, they
say, if it brought only one soul
