Consequently, the making of the passage of time, such as the passing of an old year and the advent of a new, calls us to ; a !consideration of our use of time and our stewardship of It. It calls ti to a con- sideration of our ultimate values in life. We have to consider how far we have those values right, and what are the?priorities which we give them. Let none of us forget that though we live in time, we are not the children of time, but of eternity, 1 once heard a Divinity Professor say to a class of students who were studying for the sacred ministry, "gentlemen, this world is a preparation for the next," As we look back over the days that are now beyond recall, what prep - Auburn Exchange Open December 31; Earlier Years Recalled Choir To Be Featured On CKNX Radio and TV On December 31st, 1058, at 4 p.m. the Auburn Exchange of the Blyth Tele- phone System will again come into op- eration.

Anne Hirst's counsel is at your service, Write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., N e w Toronto, Ontario, Problem Drivers Americans tend to seek simple answers to complex social prob- :ems on the basis of merely pass- ing a law , , . This tendency was plainly at work the other day when a group of members of a special committee of the Utah Safety Council, meeting at the Capitol. recommended a number of changes in Utah's driver license laws .. . These are all questionable re- visions of Utah's driver license laws for the simple reason that they do not get at the heart of the problem. The essence of the driver con- trol problem is not the great inns of good drivers. Most drivers are responeible. Myst usually obey traffic laws and follow sound driving prac- tices. They make mistakes, of course. They are guilty of some violations. They do have acci- dents. But they are not dangerous, problem drivers, and they do not reed specialized enforcement and control. Problem drivers, on the other hand, do need special attention, And they're not getting it—or not getting enough of it --in Utah today, Far too many of them are get- ting slap -of -the -wrist punish- ment for frequent misdeeds be- cause of police or prosecutorial or judicial laxity. Far too many, despite sus- pension or revocation of their licenses after serious violations, ere receiving "restricted" driv- ing privileges. Far too many, despite loss of license, continue to drive.

'ifts s IiIiONICLE 1NGERFAIZM Gw¢ndoltne P. Clarke The old year is practically gone; the New Year ii almost with us and so it is time to tend to you my very best wishes of the season. I hope, too, that you had a most enjoyable Christmas; that It will be one more happy memory to carry along into the newt year. December 31 and 'January 1 are two days close, together In time but worlds apart in sig- nificance. At the end of the old year inevitably we realise that a lot of things we worried about never really happened. We tried to cross many bridges before we came to them. Looking back we see how foolish we were. But, by and large, it wasn't such a bad old year, was it? But we naturally hope the New Year will be even better. To the old year belong whatever there was of good and bad; to the New Year belong, as yet, only hope, determination and opportunities. For what? That depends on our-. selves, doesn't it? We don't all hope for the same things; we don't all recognise opportunities when they arise, but we all have a certain amount of determina- tion. Oh, yes, the New Year is a wonderful time so let's greet the little fellow with a cheerful grin and make him as welcome as we can. Might as well, he's going to be around for another twelve months anyway. 0f course I am of necessity ahead of time in my writing. This column has to sort of pro- ject itself into space !or pub- lishing requirements. So, as I write we haven't even had our Christmas and that makes it a little awkward — in more ways than one. But we're getting there and no doubt when the New Year dawns I, too, shall be able to look back with a spirit of thankfulness for a Christmas of joy and gladness and look forward to a New Year that could quite easily be better than the last, As I write I know it is going to be an eventful year. In fact it is a safe bet that all years from now on in this nuclear age are bound to be eventful. Quite apart from world affairs we may see a lot of changes in various localities, There are bound to he, with so much road work in progress, mushroom towns, sub- divisions and shopping centre;. Time was when a farm was a farm and likely :o be for years to come. It might change owner- ship but it still remained a farm. Fields were ploughed, cattle pas- tured, pigs bred and raised, chickens up with the sun, dili- gently laying eggs as their share in providing a living for the farmer and his family. Prices were rarely %vhat they should be but there was a permanence about the old farm that gave the family a feeling of security, Now in the more populated areas that permanence has all but disap- peared, Many a hundred -acre farm, which, likely as not datee back to the Crown, has now an uncertain future. In a few years time it could be a cloverleaf, a p,as station or maybe th.' site of a new factory, depending on ire location. Old buildings disap- pear, new ones come into being and each time that happens something very precious is often completely lost. By that I mean the early history. Nothing is left to remind those who come after that they are travelling roads that were once Indian trails, and later the early roads of the pioneers -- those valiant souls who braved wind, weather and sickness to wrest a living .from the soil and to pave the way for generations to come. Progress is desirable and inevitable but it seems to me every township should do something to nreserve its own history. There should be a printed pamphlet available at cost to all those who are interested — and certainly for use in the schools. It need not be elaborate — just an outline of the district, the names of its first settlers; the location of old mills, churches, taverns and pioneer industries. So much is being lost. Even now construction has al- ready started on a' new bridge on No. 5 Highway in Trafalgar Township — at one time called Dundas Street, or sometimes Governor's Road, as it was originally intended as a military road by Governor John Graves Simcoe. The bridge will span a huge ravine. Motorists will SALLY'S SALLIES • 1�M ti I. wVe. "I'm going home to Mother to learn how to cook." Land of Patriarchs If we draw a line from Egypt through the Mediterranean lands of Palestine and Syria, then, following the Tigris and Euph- rates, through Mesopotamia to the Persian Gulf, the ,esult is an unmistakable crescent, Four -thousand years ago this mighty semicircle around the Arabian Desert, which is called the "Fertile Crescent", embraced a multiplicity of civilizations ly- ing side by side like a lustrous string of pearls. Rays of light streamed out from them into the surrounding darkness of mankind, Here lay the center of civilization from the Stone Age i ight up to the golden age of Greco-Roman culture. About 2000 B.C., the farther we look • beyond the Fertile Crescent, the deeper grows the darkness, and signs of civilize - tion and culture decrease. But over the eastern Mediterranean, already a light is shining, It is the heyday of the Minoan kings of Crete, founders of the first sea power known to history . . In the Fertile Crescent and to Egypt , , . cultured and highly developed civilizations jostled each other in colorful and be- wildered array. Peace and prosperity must have reigned In this world of Nile, Euphrates, ano Tigt is, for we have never yet discovered an inscription dating from this period that records any large- scale warlike activities. Then suddenly from the heart of this great Fertile Crescent, from the sandy sterile wastes of the + rabian desert whose shores e e lasted by the waters of th ndian Ocean, burst in volent assaults on the nor , Ian - the northwest, on Mesopo- tamia, Syria, and Palestine a horde of nomadic tribes of Semitic stock. In endless waves these Amorites, "Westerners" as their name implies, surged against the kingdoms of the Fertile Cerscent. The empire of the kings of Sumer and Akkad collapsed in 1960 B.C. under their irre- sistible attack .. . Meanwliile one of these tribes of Semitic nomads was destined to be of fateful significance for millions upon millions through- out the world up to the present day. It was a little group, per- haps only a family, as unknown and unimportant as a tiny grain of sand in a desert storm: the family of Abraham, forefather nt the patriarchs . . "Now the Lord had said ilnto Abram, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred; and from . thy father's house, unto a land that I will , show thee. (Gen. 12:1.)" The country of which the Bible is speaking In this case is Haran. Terah, his son Abram, his daughter In law Saral, and drive over it, as they do over the present bridge, and few will know that down in the ravine there was once a thriving pioneer village called "Proud - foot Hollow" Here William Lyon Mackenzie is said to have hidden and evaded his pursuers after the disastrous Battle of Montgomery's Tavern. The Trif- ler residence where he once lay hidden,in the attic while soldiers played cards on the ground floor, still stands overlooking the ravine. Dundas Street is steeped in history and Proudfoot hollow rhould certainly be given recog- nition as an historic site before its history is completely for- gotten. Already much has been lost, One of the earliest post c,ifices — "Postville" was re- cently demolished and a gas sta- tion erected on the site. Cars are now serviced where the Stage Coach changed horses be- fore making the perilous journey through Proudfoot Hollow, Modern progress speaks for it- self; History depends upon us for its preservation. Shall we sit back and let the past be more and more obliterated? Surely not, his grandson Lot lived there. %Gen. 11;31.) What was actually meant by Haran was until recently almost entirely unknown. We knew nothing of its cary history. All the old Babylonian documents were silent about the middle reaches of the Euphrates, Meso-. •opotamia, the land between the. rivers, where Haran once stood. A chance find led to excava tions In 1933, which here also gave rise to a great and exciting discovery and added consider- ably to our knowledge, They brought the Haran of the Bible and the kind of life lived by the ,patriarchs quite unexpected- ly into a historical context. —From "The Bible as History," by Werner Keller, translated by William Neil.

Boss's Grand Scheme Is Canada next on Jimmy Hoffa's unionization limetable'f Yes, says Peter C, Newman in current issue of Maclean's maga- zine. In an interview, the rough - and - tumble boss of the a c k e t- probed International Brotherhood of Teamsters told Newman: —"The continued growth '1f our union in Canada . is of vital importance." —"We reserve the right to organize anything that's not organized, regardless what it's in." —"We're going to spend what- ever dollars are necessary for this job." "Hoffa's ambition," says New.- man, ew-man, "is to enlist a quarter of r million Canadians in his Brotherhood within the next ten years. He is prepared to pay $3 million to get them." Where does Hoffa stand now in Canada? The Teamsters Brotherhood is the country's sixth-largest union. "Its more than 90,000 members," says Newman, "drive most of Can- ada's intercity transports, in- clude more than half of the country's 8,000 breadlnen, the majority of the milkmen." They also include the girls who fill chocolates at the Moil's plant in Halifax, N.S., and the disk jnc• keys at station CFCO in Chat- ham, Ont. In Montreal, Team- sters' organizers are getting into new field: They're signing up the city's hearse drivers. "To Jimmy Hoffa, a teamster is anybody who sleeps on a bed with movable casters," one unionist explained. "The ultimate plan of the Teamsters Brotherhood," says Newman, "is to 'establish a U.S.- Canadian power bloc of 50 tram- pbrtation-union alliances, That would 'give Hoffa effecti cr Ra .iP(iI over the mo��' T of everythin '-wheels, in a continent that moves on wheels." To spearhead his Canadian op- erations, Hoffa has chosen I. M.

Daylight creeps into its kennel like a tired dog earlier each afternoon, A rawness sweeps across the open parks, and in the streets people huddle deep into their overcoats, Even the dogs shiver, and a few are pushed unwillingly into absurd little coats and jackets.

Is, The Cat A Walking Compass ? Standing in a quiet country lane in Devon recently, a school- teacher from Middlesex gave a peculiar whistle. Out from a hedge bounded a lean, grey cat the family pet the school- teacher had lost in that lane a year earlier, Last year, when his car had overturned there he and his son were injured and had to spend weeks in hospital. Mitzi, the cat, fled from the car and vanished. This year the school -teacher went back to the lane, after mak- ing vain inquiries elsewhere for the missing Mitzi. The cat an- swered his whistle and is now safely back home. It is believed that it fed on scraps provided by kindly householders living near the scene of the crash, which it was reluctant to leave. Cat experts are puzzled by this incident. They say that most cats have strong homing instincts and will usually attempt to return to their old homes, however great the distance may be. A famous British Inatur'alist vouches for the story of Snooty, a four-year-old black and white cat who was born at Winder- mere, who went with his owners when they •moved to Sandbach, in Cheshire travelling by car, and after three days in Sand- bach, disappeared. That was in September, 1952. The following February, Snooty arrived back in Windermere, Ilia 120 -mile walk had taken him five months. Fabre, the great French na• turalist, records that a cat be- longing to him was carried four and a half miles in a basket. Upon arrival it was confined to the house for a week in the hope that it would become used to its new home. But directly it was released the cat returned to its old home; when it arrived it was wet to the skin, and its body was smeared with red earth, evi• denee that it had crossed a river which had barred its way and a:terwards gathered up the dust of the fields. When Professor Merricks, an- other naturalist, tried to !)robe the mystery of homing cats he came to the conclusion that nei- ther sight, smell n:nr hearing enables a cat to return to fa- miliar surroundings, "Instead of any of these senses, the cat's inevitable return is due to a nrystrlous power of memory of its muscles," he decided. "It is as though vithin the muscles of the cat there is a .ompass whose needle points sttmdily homeward, no nt..iter how many twists and turns the fmimal stn• dergces in its journLy away from hone," Memories Of Two Great Players For one travelling the Ameri- can League with the Red Sox, it was always a pleasure to in- vade Cleveland's Municipal Stadium or Detroit's Briggs Stadium a couple of hours be- fore the game, because there was the chance you might run into Tris Speaker or Mel Ott. Sitting on a photographer's bench on the field or in a front - row box during batting prac- tice, Speaker loved to talk about the young players of today and, for those who could remember, about some of the great games and stars of a new forgotten era. Eating a pregrame snack or playing a friendly card game at the downstairs press room at Briggs Stadium, Ott was of the sane mind. He would talk for hour's about his days with the Giants, under McGraw, and it was a feather in the cap of any newsman who could get Mel and Ted Williams into a dis- cussion of hitting, Tris and Mel — baseball was their life. They could have stayed away when their playing days were over, but they pre- ferred to come back — preferred to mingle with the young men now playing the game and, oc- casionally, to run into a friend who had been a part of their playing generations. There will be something miss- ing in Cleveland and Detroit, something that warmed the heart of a visitor who admired these two gentlemen and their feeling for baseball. Ott, of course, went several weeks ago, but Speaker's passing has just now saddened the hearts of all who knew him, Before settling Into a scout- ing -coaching post with the Cleveland club, Speaker, like Ott, wrote one of the really great stories of baseball history. Tris was a center fielder, and the standard he set at that key outfield position has been used as a yardstick down through the years. There have been the defensive skills of such as Terry Moore, Jimmy Piersall, the Di Maggios and a few others, but those who saw Speaker in most of his 22 years with the Red Sox, Indians, Senators, and Athletics say that there has never been his equal in all-around performance. Tris could go and get the ball and he could throw it, but he could also swing a potent bat— .344 for 22 big Teague years. He posted such averages as .366, .386, .388, .378, .380, and ..389, and would have won a string of batting crowns instead of just one (in 1916 at Cleve- land), if Ty Cobb had not been around, writes Rumill in the Christian Science Monitor, Speaker broke in with the Red Sox in 1907 and was still active while managing Newark in 1930. He played on three world championship clubs, at Boston in 1912 rind '15, and Cleveland in '20. He managed the Indians from '19 to '26. Tris had a .306 batting average for World Series play. Noted for his shallow position in center field and his ability to go back for a fly hall, Speaker was the middle man on what is still, considered by many to be the greatest outfield of all time. \Vith Duffy Lewis in left an'.l Harry Hooper in right, 'Tris was part of a unit which Fenway Park still talks about. in recent years, though it has never been written, Speaker did much to help .1inittly Piersall walk the comeback trail. At every opportunity, while the Reel Sox were at Municipal Stadium, Tris would sit down with Jim, talking like a big brother, build- ing up his confidence. Jim would listen like any eager kid would have listened to the counsel of the great Speaker, absorbing every word, t very gesture. Tris always had time for a young player, to rraise his strong points and sug- gest ways of overcoming his wcakncr,.

Although we call these bright objects shooting stars, they are not stars but meteors and they are among the most fascinating of heavenly phenomena. On a •lear dark night it is sometimes possible to see up to thirty or iven forty of them in the course of an hour, say the experts. They are being studied with special attention, in the hope That they will cast new light on PRETTIEST — Hailed as the prettiest diplomat in London is Senora Virginia Gallegos of Costa Rica, The 39 -year-old mother of two teen-age sons has been given the rank of minister by her country. Her job? Sell tea -loving Britons on the merits of coffee. the origin and form of the solar • system, - Shooting stars — small stony pellets which move through space at a speed often exceed- ing sixty miles per second are usually first seen from earth when they are at a height of about eighty miles. "Though the atmosphere at this height is extremely thin, a shooting star rushes through it at such a rate that there is suf- ficent friction to make it white- hot," an astronomer explained. "By the time it has fallen to a height of about fifty miles, the shooting star has usually dis- appeared. "In the course of the few se- conds it remains visible, it may have travelled 200 miles. Some shooting stars are fragments of comets that have broken up, and the breaking up of a comet has actually been seen from earth." Sonie time ago the Astronomer Royal revealed that the weight of the earth steadily increases by something like 100 tons every day as a result of the numerous shooting stars that enter and are dissipated in our atmosphere. "Occasionally the earth en= counters a fragment much larger than the average shooting star," he added. "We then see a fire - hall, a brilliant ball of light, easily visible in broad daylight, which is usually dissipated in an explosion of considerable vio- lence to the accompaniment of a loud report. "If the fireball is very large, fragments may fall to the earth as meteorites." Whistler, the famous painter of "Whistler's Mother'', was exasperated when he came home one night and found his mother sitting on the living room floor. "What's the matter, Ma?" he demanded, "You off your rock- er?" Doll House Furniture Aids Doctors by Jerry Bennett Dollhouse furniture is taking Its place alongside the surgeon's scalpel as an effective tool for treatment ailments due to brain damage. The new, vital use for this popular children's toy is being applied to the treatment of aphasia, a complicated but com- mon result of brain injury. Aphasia is caused by injury to the part of the brain that enables a person to talk, write and comprehend the written or spoken word, It may be caused by a cerebral stroke, a brain tumor or a sharp blow on the head. Many of its victims may have little difficulty in speaking or understanding but are complete- ly unable to write. Others may lose their ability to read or corn- prehend anything that's said to them. Some are completely un- able to speak and can utter only garbled,, incoherent sounds. Often an aphasia victim can pronounce words but uses the wrong ones in trying to express himself. This is because he has lost the knack for associating things in groups or categories. This ability is one of the prin- cipal requirements for memory. It's In treating this affliction that the miniature furniture is proving effective. Dr, Joshua Ehrlich, aphasia rehabilitation expert for the Veterans Admin- ietration hospital in Albany, N.Y., has designed a group of minature stage settings to rep- resent the rooms in an ordinary house. His special treatment technique calls for patients to select the right pieces of furniture to go into each room. Purpose of this play -type therapy is to give pa- tients practice in learning how to organize their thoughts so they won't confuse things that are completely unrelated, The system is now being tried out on 30 aphasia victims at the Albany hospital. And VA offi- cials report that results so far have been highly encouraging. For instance, a 63 -year-old pa- tient had to work for 30 minutes the first time he tried of furnish a bedroom. On his next attempt he did the job in half that time. As the drill continued, the pa- tient improved his ability to mentally group other things be- sides furniture. When he was finally dischraged, he could an- swer questions about his wife, the hospital and his home with- out confusing the subjects as he had done when he was first ad- mitted. One of the biggest tragedies of aphasia, doctors believe, is that so many of the 400,000 victims in the U.S. don't realize that effective medical treatment Ls now available. They explain that many of these people let their lives turn into years of silent loneliness when they could be receiving medical care that might offer them partial or even com- plete recovery. The treatment process, how- ever, is often a slow, tedious business that requires the ut- most patience from both pa- tients and members of the hospi- tal staff. This is specially true when aphasia victims must be taught to read, write or speak again. The Veterans Administration operates large therapy centers in Boston, Minneapolis and Long Beach, Calif,, that specialize 1n aphasia cases, Treatment time at these hos- pitals ranges from a few months to several years depending upon how badly a patient's brain has been damaged, But after receiv- ing the specialized care, many persons have been able to re- turn to their old jobs and live normal Ives. AT THE ALBANY, N.Y,, Veterans Administration hospital, speech therapist James M. Norris uses the ned "dollhouse furniture" to,chn'qk p in teaching a victim of aphasia how to talk again. TABLE TALKS ame Ambews Possibly by this time you're a bit tired of chicken or turkey; f next time you fancy fowl, why not a duck or goose? Both should be cooked at 325° F. and may be roasted either stuffed or unstuffed. If stuffed, the most popular stuffings con- tain celery, onion, apple, prune or cranberry. Spoon or siphon off fat as it accumulates during roasting, Carve so that each per- son receives a portion of breast and either thigh or drumstick. Garnish with fresh, crisp water cress or parsley and sur- round on the platter with orange slices topped with cherries (pic- tured). If you like an orange mustard glaze on your duck, try it this way: About 1 hour be- fore the bird is done, spread it thickly with 1 cup orange mar- malade blended with 2 table- spoons rich prepared mustard; return to oven and continue roasting until done. If you want to stuff the duck here are a few recipes for the stuffing. . APRICOT -RICE STUFFING Vt cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped celery 1,4 cup butter 3 cups cooked rice 1 cup coarsely chopped dried apricots 1 teaspoon salt Dash pepper 1 tablespoons chopped parsley Cook onion and celery in the butter.

Add seasonings, celery, orange rind and pulp, Mix lightly. Add enough water to moisten stuffing lightly. Coarsely chopped pecans may be added to this stuffing, if de- sired. If you don't stuff your duck, place a few celery leaves and a few slices of onion inside the duck for flavor, It is an old Chinese custom to skin duck before cooking, and if you'd like to serve braised duck for your holiday dinner it is best if skinned, With a sharp pointed knife, cut skin from neck to the vent, first along breast of duck then along the backbone. Loosen skin by run'. ning knife underneath, close to flesh of duck, Peel skin back as It loosens, cutting skin where necessary but keeping flesh in- tact. • • • BRAISED DUCK WITH ORANGE -CURRANT SAUCE Skin duck and cut into scrip Ing pieces.

One of the most versatile ways or preparing mushrooms is in a medium cream sauce. Either fresh or canned mushrooms may be used successfully in this recipe. CREAMED MUSIIROOMS (3 to 4 servings) y, pound fresh mushrooms cup water 2 tablespoons butter 2 tabiespoonsfuls flour i ea teaspoon' salt 1 cup liquid — part milk and the water off mushrooms Wash mushrooms (peeling is not always necessary); slice or cut large ones in pieces but leave small ones whole, Simmer in water until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan, Measure liquid and add milk to make 1 cup, Melt butter, blend in flour and salt and gradually pour in liquid, stirring. until sauce thickens Add mushrooms, re -heat and serve. (Note: If desired, use one 10 - ounce can of mushrooms — whole, sliced or, pieces — along with their liquid, in place of the fresh mushrooms and water. Do not simmer as canned mush- rooms are all ready cooked.) * 4 * For a meal in minutes, make double the amount of medium cream sauce (using 2 cups milk and 4 tablespoons of each but- ter and flour) and stir in 1 cup canned shriinp, salmon, tuna - fish, turkey or chicken, along with the mushrooms (either fresh or canned) 'called for in the recipe. Serve on toasted, split hamburger rolls with slic- ed tomatoes and cucumbers on the side.

Another wrote "Merci" in toothpaste across the kitchen floor, insulation Cuts Heating Bills There is nothing mysterious about insulation, It can be de- scribed simply as a wall between warm air and cold air. Air moves from warm to cold, Therefore the better job a wall does of slowing down this movement of warm air, the better insulation it gives. Applying these facts to your home, insulation works in two ways. In the winter, the heated air in your home tries to escape to the outside air through the floors, walls, and ceilings. In the summer, the warmer outdoor air tries to enter your home the sante way. Unfortunately, stone, brick, concrete, and plaster—materials used in home construction—are relatively poor insulators ber cause they are porous and air passes through them easily. Rock wool, on the other hand, is made up of millions of dead -air cells, which effectively prevent heat from entering or leaving your home, A section of rock wool four inches thick, for example, has the insulation effect of 125 inches of stone, 120 inches of concrete, 70 inches of brick,• or 15 inches of wood, according to research- ers. By lining ceilings and walls with a sufficient thickness of rock wool, you can snake your house much more comfortable in both winter and summer, and bring about considerable savings in both fuel and air-conditioning costs. A University of Illinois sur- vey shows how much was saved by insulating a five -room ranch home with four inches of rock woolsix-tonin the liNl1 ceilingt'eguire;l and eethe inches in the walls. Immediate , lavings were ob. tained in,' tfie installation of a home ,'air conditioner because the insulated homes needed only ',o -ton unit compared to the . "thr same home without insulation. Savings: Between $700 and $900, depending on the make. Savings on cooling costs in the Insulated homes ranged from $268 a year in Jacksonville, Fla., to $116 a year in St. Louis, to $50 a year in New York City. During the winter, the same homes showed savings in fuel bills ranging from $24 a year in Jacksonville to $95 a year in St. Louis and $110 in New York, How much did it cost to insu- late these houses? Approxi- mately $240. The cost of insulation varies, depending on the size and needs of your home. Insulation costs less when it is installed while the home is being built, DRiVE WITH CARE I AIR BASES • , ROCKET SITES „ _ NEWSMAP s.t•' PAKISTA REDS' MOUNTAIN FASTENESS — Reports coming out of Com- munist -seized Tibet indicate that the Red Chinese are turning that remote land into a great elevated missile platform.

She :was' a beautiful vessel, flags on • every line,- but it • was a cold morning and it took imagination. Here on the East Coast the highest perfections of husbandry were on 'what Rob Collin made famous as a Salt Water Carm- a clam flat connected by• a rocky blossom -bestowed path to a corn patch, with a little white house that looked forth upon the sea The men assembled under the and was shaded behind by the hull, and there came from the forests of spruce and pine. The la'nching master the order to best farm land in Maine was strike. The empty hull echoed never by. the tide, but the best with the gigantic thunder of farm living in Maine wee, hundreds of hammers pounding on the blocking, and this con- tinued until every support was out except those actually hold- ing the great vessel to her ways. Suddenly the noise stopped and the silence was emphasized by expectancy. The Ia'nching master carne forth from under the giant belly of the ship and looked up at the christening party under the rostrum.. The bandmaster took his cue, ' and there was a solemn hymn, after which a prayer was offered, and then the band struck up a riot- ous medley of longshore tunes, The lady in the white dress, over her heaviest coat, clutched her beribboned bottle and struck an attitude. The band suddenly ceased, and the la'nchi master waved to his men -un Then -once, twice, divers"were three solid unison, as hundreds of mei struck in count at the shorings. Then there was utter silence again; and we felt the vast fash- ioning of timbers under us amove. It was imperceptible, al- most -but the Sintram had be- come a living craft, and was al- ready smoking the grease under her keel, The taste of salt would be there by the stern. I heard the lady, her thin voice crrrying on the chill air. She swung mightily to splinter the bottle against the rugged bow timbers and shouted, "I christen thee Sintram-and may God sail always with thee!" And the stern was in the sea, and the band was playing again, and whistles blew and the thousands of peopb cheered. As we were water -borne and the timbers began popping up in _the swirl of the tide, the ways spread before us, and we could see the hundreds ot men stand- ing there with long -handled mauls, gazing up at the prow =- perhaps some of them saying, "This, my ancestors did; and man may never do it again!" The Sintram was not what was called 'a "lucky": craft. She was outfitted, her sails and rigging making a brave aspect against the sky when she put to sea some months later. She hauled coal a few trips, and was lost in a storm off a southern coast. It didn't matter, much. The building and the la'nching had been successful -the rest was in- cidental. To have stood in the n)ast-rigging_ of a five -masted schooner while she slid into the drink was, in itself, something. That cold morning was colder still when the fun was over. Peo- ple on the beach went home, but the la'nching party stayed aboard. They sent a dory out for us, and one by one we went down a line overside, ladies and all, and carte ashore again. I do remember, besides the cold, that I lamented the delay in getting us ashore -for 1 had to get home in time to milk. - By John Gould in The Christian Science Monitor. My own farm is ten miles bark from mean high water, but such was the union of affairs that even we grew up with much of the sea in our affairs, One of my father's earliest memories is of driving a none eight miles over winter snow to the smelting at Abagadasset Point, where fishermen were hauling their nets and tossing away the tomcods that had no market. Every time they drew they would get a peck of smelts and five tons of tomcod. My fa- ther, off on his first errand of consequence alone, was instruct- ed to offer the men a few cents a bushel if they would load his pung, and he hrought the tom- cods home fpr hOg food. In my own recollections, the launching of the Sintram was anachronistic, but very r .al. Sh weele live -masted scito last ever .. why I was bidden to the la'nching party is unremembered, but I was. The time' was either 1919 -or 1920. either February or March, and there has never been such a la'nching since, and never will be. During World War I the wood- en cargo vessel for the Emer- gency Fleet was built by the hundreds wherever land sloped to the sea. The prints were sup- plied from Washington,' and the • boats were all alike. The most wonderful feature of this pro- gram was the ability of Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President, to think up' names for them. Hap- pily, most of the names have been forgotten. When the war ended a half - built hull was on our ways, and suddenly there was no need of her. We had' just la'nched, the second -last one, which Mrs. 'Wil- son had called something like the Manuposcunoggatrass, and which was christened by the well -set, sturdy, able wife of our harbor master. The lady held the local clan shucking • record and used to cook on a trawler. She whing- ed the stem of the Manuposcu- noggatrass with the festooned bottle and shouted, "I, christen tltee whatever th'e'tliunder it is." But the half -built vessel be- came the Sin-tt'am., Local men cai;hed their 'Liberty Bonds and formed a corporation that took her over from the government. They tossed away most of the government blueprints, and fin- ished her up traditionally, con- verting her by rule -of -thumb to a fairly well lined clipper -not too extreme, but sea -worthy and likely. There was a good deal more sentiment than good sense, and the Sintram wac tller•rlv a present day symbol of past glory, The world had no use for a five -masted schooner, but every- body who worked on her be- lieved. The back pastures of Maine no longer had any mast timbers, so they had to bring her sticks in by rail ieom the South. But Charlie Dunning "het" his forge and made all the rings and "Your girl ~friend 'phoned. blocks as he'd done in olden Said she wouldn't he able to see times.'

TIIEFARM FRONT Farming has changed so much in recent years that U.S. agricul- tural colleges are finding it necessary to give their curricula a thorough going over. They are adjusting courses of study to the trend toward "agribusiness." • • • Purdue University, which pro- vides an example of the changes underway, has just completed the drafting of a new agriculture curriculum, following a two-year study of the needs of today's students. It places much more emphasis on basic studies in the natural sciences, in economics, in languages, and in business sub- jects, and less on "how -to -do -it" courses. The boy who goes to the uni- versity's agricultural school now isn't attending what he used to call a "cow college," judging by the changes already in effect here. He is spending less time in the college farm feedlots, more in the laboratories. • • • He will come out with a greater ability. to understand what re- search has to give him, will have greater ability to understand the behavior of prices, will have learned some of the fundamen- tals of business management so necessary today on the farm. As a result of its new empha- sis on these basic studes, Purdue University's agriculti'ral school is growing fast, It had the larg- est percentage of new admissions this year within the memory of its administrators -a 21 per cent increase. The new curriculum, which will go into effect next' fall, is expected to stimulate further the growth of the school. • 1 • The rapid changes in agricul- tural technology now occurring encourage this approach, It is not just a case of not doing things the way grandpa did. Progres- sive farmers today read experi- ment station reports, attend con- ventions, confer with their sup- pliers, take short courses, and constantly update their methods in the light of new research findings. Dean Butz says the new curriculum recognizes this fact. "If we teach the best practices today," he said, ' the student may find them obsolete by the time he graduates and has the oppor- tunity to use them. It is better for hint to learn how to find out these developments for himself," • • • Another factor enters into the need for the basic studies. The largest proportion of students at- tending agricultural college come from farms, but many do not re- turn to them after graduation. A study of the careers of Purdue students after graduation shows that only 10 to 15 per cent of •them return to the farm imme- diately after graduation. Another 10 per cent go back after a de- cade of work, in an off -farm oc- cupation. Another 20 to 30 per cent finally get back to farming, perhaps after a career in the city which has been sufficiently successful to permit each to buy and equip a farm according to his heart's desire (It takes around $100,000 to do that, they say.) • • • This le:ev25 around 50 per cent %vho will never return. 13ut it dc:•: not indicate !het the non- farr'^"C I11'ICe a 1'Ylisteke in at- tel1'irl; nericu'ttlrlll college, Dr. D. C. Pfendlcr, assistant dean, who made the study, points out that many went 'into branches of work closely allied to farming, where agricultural education was extremely valuable, writes Doro- thea Kahn Jaffe in The Christian Science Monitor. Some went into the govern- mental service as farm advisers or workers in the Department of Agriculture. Some went into . agricultural education, others in- to farm research. Still others became agricultural editors, one an agricultural missionary. • Iiow great is the need for agriculturally trained men and women outside agriculture is shown in figures supplied this correspondent by Dr. Lowell S. Hardin, head of Purdue's depart- ment of agricultural economics. Of this country's labor force, about 8,000,000 persons work in farm production, and from eight to ten million in strictly non- agricultural occupations. But , there are an additional 16,000,- 000 persons working in jobs re- lated to agriculture. They are either in farm supply industries and service or in the marketing end, including food processing and retail food sales. The changes in the Purdue curriculum are aimed to meet the needs of those who go into these fields related to agriculture as well as those who intend to farm.

One Washing- ton operator is cutting rates by about one third for customers with small cars. L. B. Doggett, Jr., president of the Washington Parking Association and opera- tor of 17 lots, makes eminent mathematical sense when he points out that 42 half-pint autos can be fitted into the space now required for 20 of the behe- moths which some people in De- troit waspishly term a "normal" size car, Now, there are several honor- able and energetic exception to the trend among manufacturers to make the huge even huger; and the indecision among the big companies which must "freeze" models se"eral years in advance deserves some sympathy along with the scoffing. But it is melancholy to note that the infatuation with size as a symbol of something or other still pre- vails; many 1959 models even outspan the mammoths of 1958. Add to this growing length the problem of the fragile new equipment which adorns some models -it has almost come to stereophonic headlights a n d switchblade fins -and the deter- mination of parking lot opera- tors to revise rate schedules is understandable. In New York one group of 400 operators has voted to raise fees for most 1959 models by 15 to 30 per cent. Thus if esthetic considerations fail to shrink the dreamboats, economics -and the sheer im- possibility of providing enough road space if the size of cars in- creases with the volume -may yet curb the length. Sooner or later it may cost more to park these monoliths than to keep up the payments, and the family garage may loom like an air- drome over the house where mere mortals dwell. -Washing- ton Post. Royal Flower Britain's lavender acres are shrinking every year, but there lire signs that Its oldest and sweetest flower - the finest it the world for making perfume - is returning to front -rank popularity. The Queen loves lavender. The late Queen Mary was so fond of it that she frequently visited the fields near Sandringham from which the spikes are gathered kr blending and pre- paring lavender water. It is said that King George IV devised a special formula for lavender water. The laadies of his court invariably wore it. If the current love of lavender continues to flourish perhaps we shall see again in London • full - gowned street sellers crying as they did more than two hun- dred years ago: "Who'll buy my sweet blooming lavender - six- teen branches a penny?" UNDA1 3tA LESSON By Ito tt. Isarclay Warren (3.A„ B.D. Jesus Calls Forth Faith Mark 9:14-29 Memory Selection: MI things are possible to him that be- lieve" Mark 9:23. In this quarter we continue the study of the life of Christ Ps recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke, We are dealing almost exclusievly with the closing scenes of Jesus' earthly career. After the healing considered in this lesson Jesus takes his final departure from the northern province of Galilee to proceed to Jerusalem. The event in today's lesson took place after Jesus came down from the mount of trans- figuration with Peter, James and John. When they came to the other disciples they found a multitude of people A man had brought his son who was deaf and dumb to bo heated. The disciples had tried to cast out the evil spirit but w,:re un- successful. The critical scribes were watching. The father of '.he boy was disappointed The crowd was interested. They hrought the boy to Jesus. The boy fell to the ground and frothed at the mouth. Je,tus ask- ed the father. "How long it It ago since this came unto hits?" The father replied, "Of a child." and proceeded to describe the ailment and then plead for com- passions. It was the practice .tf Jesus to let people confess fully their needs. Then Jesus chal- lenged him to believe saying, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to h:m that believeth." He answered, weep- ing, "Lord, 1 believe; help thou mine unbelief." He had a mea- sure of faith but was struggling with doubt. which was due in large measure to the failure of the disciples. Giving expression to his faith would help to strengthen it. The Jesus rebuked the foul spirit and raised up the boy. Then Jesus had a lesson for the disciples. They asked, "Why could not we cast him out?" He replied, "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." It is still true teat one reaso4 for the church's weakness is its failure to pray. In most churches the prayer meeting has died. No wonder we are so powerless in meeting the evil forces about. It a spiritual awakening comes, there will be a renewed desire to pray. It is likewise true that if there comes a renewed desire to pray, a spiritual awakening • will come.
