W- Ip ym Women of 1600 B.C. Covered Their Heads With Knitted Nets of Colored Wool Hair nets were used by women in Egypt some 1,600 years ago. This may be confirmed from an ex- hibit in the hall of Egyptian arch- aeology at Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, where a net of Roman type, estimated to have been made between the third and fifth centuries A.D., is shown in a collection of ancient textiles, No attempt was made at the invisibil- ity achieved in modern hairnets, however--this net is a heavy, knit- ted ornamental caplike {item in bright red wool, Embroidered According to museum archaeolo- gists, the hair was swathed in lin. en veils until the head was about twice its natural size, and then the net was stretched o®er the already wrapped and covered crowning glory of the wearer, It was fas- jannd by tying strings attached to t. Displayed with it are a bonnet and cap, both of linen, with plaid designs. In the bonnet, which re- sembles in cut what would today be termed a sunbonnet, there are em- broidered lines in dark brown silk criss-crossing the tan linen. It is edged with blue striped linen. 3,000 Depend C a Rail to Moosonee Say T. & N. O. Only Means of Getting Food Supplies--In- dians Might Starve to Death In James Bay District. MOOSONF®. -- Three thousand + people, whites and Indians who de- pend on the T. & N. O. Railway from Cochrane here for the ship- ping of the necessities of life,. will face starvation, cut off from the outside world, it the railway branch is discontinued. This is the opjn- fon of E. L. Martineau, chairman of the Moosonee school board, J. P., and a man who walked into here from Chapleau, 35 years ago, to es- ~ tablish trading posts in the James and Hudson Bay district. "Without the railway the only . other way of getting supplies into this area is over a water route 400 miles long," Mr. Martineau declar.' ed. "Food prices will triple and all through this district as far north as -Great Whale river, 600 miles away, the Indians, in particular, who are just barely making a liv- ing now, are going to starve to death by the hundreds." Premier Hepburn has said clos- ing down of the Cochrane-Mooso- nee branch is to be considered, In ' this community, the end of steel, there are 50 taxpayers, all of whom depend on the railway for their ex- istence, Mr. Martineau pointed out. Asks Public Aid In Cancer Fight Dr. A. T. Bazin Addresses Newly-Formed Canadian Society A ,call to the general public to assist the medical profession in launching a concerted attack against cancer was sounded last week by Dr. A. T. Bazin, professor of surgery at McGill University, _ Montreal. : Speaking at Regina in the inter- ests of the newly-organized Cana- dian Society for the Control of Can- cer, Dr. Bazin stressed the need for an intensive educational campaign to acquaint the general public with the dangers of neglect. Mr. Justice W. M. Martin, chair- man of the Provincial committee for the Saskatchewan division of the society, appealed for member- ship as a means of furthering the work, _ \ Lay People Can Help Dr. Bazin sald that to thé laity rather than to the medical profes. sion fell the task of detecting early cancer, He stated chronic inflam. mation is a condition which pre- disposes to cancer, He warned against' the lurking possibilities of a cracked lip which would not heal, a continuous sore tongue, a hardness or lump in the breast which gives no pain, a hoarseness of the voice which per- sists past the duration of a common cold, symptoms of vague indiges- tion, a wart or mole that suddenly puts forth rapid growth.

Sunday School Lesson LESSON II SPIRITUAL WORSHIP Exodus 20:4-6; 32:1-8; John 4:19-24 Golden Text -- "God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24, 3 THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- The Ten Commandments were given 1498 B.C. The conver- sation with the woman at the well took place in December, A.D. 27. Place -= The Ten Command- ments, of course, were given on Mount Sinai. The city of Sychar is the modern village of El-Askar, five eighths of a mile north of Jacob's well, * 4, Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image. The First Commandment forbids us to wor ship false gods, the Second forbids us to worship the true God under false forms, The Hebrews had come out of Egypt; and Egypt was a land that was crowded with the images of a twofold mythology -- of the old Africap deities and of the new foreign gods of the Shepherd Dyn- "asty. The tribes had brought with them small, portable images of the Egyptian deities into the wilder- ness. Nor any likeness of anything refer to God who dwelt in heaven, or the angels, but also to the sun, moon, and stars, which were wor- shiped by heathen nations every- where in the ancient"world. Or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Bowing Down to Images 65. Thou shalt not bow down thy- self unto them , nor serve them. What the second commandment forbids is the making of images to be used in worship. It has always happened again and again, in every country, in every age, that ultim- ately the deity represented by the image is forgotten, and the image 'itself becames the object of wor- ship. y For I Jehovah thy God am a jea- lous God, who will not tolerate that the reverence due to him should not be given to him -- whether to another God, or, as here, to an im- age worshipped Visiting the iniqu- ity of the fathers upon the children. and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that do hate me. The iniquity here spoken of is that of polytheism, or idolatry, of having or making any other God. The history of the world also shows that the ungodliness of the fathers, is, as a rule of fallen nat- ure, followed by the sons. 6. And showing lovingkindness of them that love me and keep my commandments. While God is abso- lutely just and absolutely holy, yet God loves men, and longs to have them love him. That is almost the only place in the first six books of the Bible where love to God is mentioned The Golden Cait 1. And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt; we know not what is be- come of him. When the people said that they did not know what had happened to Moses, they were tell ing what was not true, and they knew {it was not true. They knew that Moges was up there in the mount with Jehovah. Instead of asking Aaron or some other person to take the place of Moses as a man needing God's presence and power, they made the awful re- "quest of Aaron, who was the high priest, actually to make for them gods who could lead them in the days to come, Le 2. And Aaron sald unto them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me, 3. And all the pcople brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4. And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf. The idea of representing God by so awful a thing as this is rgvolting, and yet when men substitute a false relig- fon for the true worship of God, they have always been known to sink to unbelievable depths, And they sald, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 6. And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron thatisin heaven above. This might made proclamation, and said, To- morrow shall be a feast to Jehovah, 6. And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. See 1, Cor, 10:7. The Israelites should have been praying. They should have been singing praises to God for their deliverance. Instead of that they turned this sacred occa- slon into a carnival, 7. And Jehovah spake unto Moses and sald, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have cor- rupted themselves. 8. they have turned aside quickly out of the way which 1 commanded them; they have worshipped it, and have sacri- ficed unto it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. How terrible it would be if God allowed us to go on in our sinful willfulness, and did not upbraid or punish us, correct and chasten us! Where would any of us be if God never put a restraining hand upon us? 19. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a pro- phet. 20. Qur fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. It is clear from this verse that much of the conversation with this woman is not reported, for we do not have any record here of Jesus, speaking about Jerusalem, though he must have done so. : 21. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mounte g, nor in Je- rusalem, shall ye worship the Fath- er. 22. Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews, The hour to which the Lord refers is, of course, the hour, when, through Christ, God is fully known and truly worshiped. 23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship- the Father in spirit and truth; for such doth the Father geek to be his worshippers, 21. God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship in spirti and in truth. That the Fatlier secks men to be his worshippers is but one of the many evidences, from God's call to Adam in the Gardan of Iden down to the last "Come" in the book of Revelation, that God longs that men should be with him, wor- shipping him, knowing him, loving him, and filled with his fullness. The worship which God asks for is spiritual woship, worship that is in spirt and in truth, New Moderator Elected Moderator of the Unit- ed Church of Canada at the eighth general council held in Toronto, Rev.

Thanksgiving Lord, for the erring thought Not into evil wrought: Lord, for the wicked will Betrayed and baffled still: For the heart from itself kept, Our thanksgiving aceept, --VWilliam Dean Howells hd yo > - hn ae a 2 Thanksgiving Celebrated By Indians First Festival Existed Centuries Be- fore Puritans Began Annual Celebration. The American custom of cele- brating Thanksgiving with feast- ing and family reunions did not begin with the coming of the white man to these shores. Centuries before the arrival of the Puritans the Indians celebrated the yearly harvest-time with turkey, pump- kins and ball games, according to Te Ata, a member of the Chick- asaw tribe and wife of Dr. Clyde Fisher, writing in the magazine published by the American Mu- seum of Natural History. Thanks for Fruits of Soil "Many people helieve that ~ Thanksgiving on this Continnent originated with the Plymouth col- onists in 1621," she writes. "Ad- mitting that these white settlers may have brought in with them a Thanksgiving spirit, it should not be forgotten that the distinctive features of the American Thanks- giving are native to the country rather than to the settlers, and that the Indians had been offering up heir thanks for hundreds of years. Late in the Summer season that follows close upon the trail of the harvest, the native Ameri- can has, since ancient times, given thanks for fruits of the soil and of the chase to the Great Spirit and to the Farth-Mother. "Thanksgiving still exists among the native Indians today. Out to- The Oldest Horse In North America Delly Way Driven Daily By Her ippled Qwner, Walter Carruthers, of Wingham Dolly, popularly supposed to be the oldest horse in North America, died last. week, She was in her 42nd year and for the past 31 years had been driven nearly every day by her crippled owner, Walter Car- ruthers, of Turnberry Township, Huron County. His home is three miles from Wingham. Every day, except some of the extreme winter ones, Walter Car- ruthers and Dolly have made the three-mile trip to Wingham. They became almost a landmark, and older residents returning to Wing- ham always made sure to look up "Walt and Dolly." ' Ate Rolled Oats and Hay With reins hanging limply from her master's hands it was a fami- lar sight In Wingham to see the horse come up to the "stop" sign at the intersection and halt, then continue on around the corner and stop whenever some friend of the owner's hailed him from the side- walk, In all the 30 years the horse had never been on grass, her meals con. sisting of rolled oats and timothy hay. This was attributed as one of the reasons for her longevity. His Car Stolen? No, Just Washed Blenheim Owner Forgets He Told Garage To Take Machine Don't tell R. S.

LIFE'S LIKE THAT SLANTS Comedian Lew Lehr returned from Furope on the Queen Mary with Mrs. Lehr and daughter. Lew has several comedy ideas up his sleeve for his new series with Ben Bernie. Andre Kostelanetz is hold- ing open house in his office on the 16th floor of the CBS building for all his friends who wander in for the lowdown on his recent South American jaunt. Kenny Baker, the male vocalist for "Star Trea- tre" which makes its debut over CBS on October 5, had only six hours in New York after he ar- rived from England recently, be- cause of Hollywood commitments. While in England Kenny played the role of "Nanky Poo" in an English picture version of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado". VOICE-CHILD Betty Lou, co-starred with Tom- my Riggs in their new variety show over an NBC-Red Network which began October 1, is the first "voice" to reach full star status. True, Charlie McCarthy is a voice, but he exists for the eye in the physical shape of a ven- triloquist's dummy. Betty Lou is nothing more than the figment of Tommy Riggs' vocal chords and the picture of a little girl that his voice creates, Betty Lou was created one day in 1932 when Riggs' vaudeville and radio partner was stricken and had to be rushed to the hos- pital. Having to carry on alone, Tommy created Betty Lou. She was so popular that Rudy Vallee asked him to appear on his pro- gram. The one appearance ran in- to 39 weeks--a new record--and resulted in the new star roles in the variety show which Riggs and his voice-child will head this fall. NEW WORD GAME Mary Margaret McBride, CBS columnist of the air, has a new version of the "Word Game." She calls it "pet peeves," and applies it to "sissy" words which annoy her. For example, she dislikes "dainty", and won't use "cinema" or "motor" when she means the movies or an automobile.
