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.

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 it around? And oh what a screech now and then we would make— I'11 bet teacher thought that her ear• drums would break! What wouldn't you give to be back in that scat With your little slate, when all life was so sweet? And wouldn't you like to tyke back with xou, too, That 'same little happy -eyed gang that you knew? But I don't believe we would be dif• ferent men If we would go back, and start over again, But oh if we could, it would surely be great To start once more with a new and clean slate! • Farm Forum Meeting The Live Wire Farm Forum met on Feb, 13th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Shobbrook with 20 present, The broadcast was listened to. Two groups were formed for discussion on "Gov- ernment or Producer Marketing." We are not in favor of Government con. trol markets as we feel this would lean to control production. Mr. Ted flunking conducted the business period. Next meeting. will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Wilmer Howatt, Cards were play- ed and lunch served.

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 liquid and use for gravy mak- ing. Cut up giblets and add." For Fried Fish If you aren't a stickler for rolling your fried fish in corn meal, try this suggestion: "Roll your fish in pancake flour next time you fry it," writes Geneva Eldredge, "The pancake flour improves the flavor and gives the fish a delightful brown."

Brother, she's good 1 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. , "COME TO ME" — The lady cagey; at right, isn't longing for "Mr. Basketball."

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. Hungry Owl Nelson Crebassa was driving down a mponlit road in the state of Washington recently when he witnessed a most unusual sight, A dark shadow swooped down out of the heavens, touched a speeding car ahead, and made off with something in its claws. "' Both Crebassa and the driver of the other car stopped their vehicles to see what the bird had stolen. It was a squirrel tail, snatched from an aerial on the lead car by a hungry owl 1 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. • SALLY'S SALLIES I•!. or "I came here looking •for u position.

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, spectacles have been recently 8. MInnkev 2.

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.

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.

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.

ANNE HOST .7100A rgunav Cou#Latiot. "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?

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.

Listen to their opinions, their problems, and be sure they find you a trusted confidante. Play up to feminine church members you've met, and get on one or two of their committees and become a valued worker, You should win friends who will be proud tointroduce you to their personal group, widening your acquaintance among nice people. The same projecting of your personality applies to those in the adult classes you attend. Patience, and renewed faith in yourself as a woman who has so much to give to others, should swing you into more than one circle of congenial friends. Being a new arrival in the community has its disadvan- tages, but if you choose those people who seem worth cul- tivating, it cannot help widen- ing your horizons and opening new fields where you may achieve your desire. A lot of talk is bandied about on the subject of woman's jealousy of women. Intelli- gent, warmhearted women seldom join in such low prac- tices. They welcome a new- comer who has a sense of humor, an ardent tempera- ment that promises true , friendship, and a knowledge. of life that lifts her above the gossiping level.

ANXIOUS A small boy visiting New York for the first time, went in a lift to the top of a skyscraper, As he shot past the sixty-second floor at breath -taking speed, he gulped, turned to his father, and asked: "Daddy, does God know we're coming?" SHE'D WALK A MILE FOR HIM — So the ecstatic expression on the lady camel at right would indicate. But the blissful bac• trlon at left had better head for the oasis. She'll make him wait for a date unless he promises love that will endure until the sands of the desert grow cold.

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. • • 4529 44,44,..4/4,412-20 It's so thrifty, easy to make this new side -button and wrap weskit' See the diagram—sew- ing's a cinch!

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 • ISSUE ? — 1956 • rk �'' ': •..: '�t'+i..... .2;.e. n:!

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.

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 FACE - LIFT — This smiling water. tank hasn't always look- ed so cheerful. In' fact, it look- ed so dull and dreary perched atop the roof of a Chicago ,publishing .company that com- pany officials decided to give it a new face. They hired sign painters to put , this serene, smiling face on it, in maroon, blue and white. 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. ant man of God who apparently 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 sinners. Ile never minced •'ilrords, In the broadcasting 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 The Lutheran Hour. With his 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 the airwaves with dramatic ef. feet. Yet he manages to avoid histrionics, and he attracts the educated and sophisticated as. well as the average listener. At 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 FOR ISRAELI HALL OF FAME — Former President Harry S.

THREE-WAY INSPIRATION — Courage .of_Sanford Shaleen and two devices developed by fellow engineers of Minneapolis Honeywell form a three-way picture of inspiration. Stricken with polio three years ago, Shaleen can move only his head and feet. A movement of his head actuates device developed by his com- rades which turns pages of technical paper -on easel at right. Touch of his toe on an employe -developed switch at foot of bed energizes dictating machine and Shaleen records through micro- phone near his head, With aid of the machines he completes review of a vast amount of material each week. Greek, gradually becoming a key figure in _ Missouri Synod counsels, When The Lutheran Hour situation became crucial, Dr. Hoffmann got the call, 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 a world away.

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 to Christ,—From "Coronet" A woman never forgets the men she could have had; a man the women he couldn't.
