By W CANNEL NEA'S Correspondeat NEW YORK--(NEA)--Motiva- tional Research--also known as pychological merchandising -- .s00n be used by churches more people to worship. According to the Rev. Stanley @. Matthews, public relations di. rector of the Religion in Amerl- can Life Program: "We are not satistied with the usual answers people give to the poll-takers asking about worship attendance. We want the real reasons 'why 48 million attend and 56 million don't. We need a new technique for finding out." This technique of getting to 'hidden fears and needs belongs to MR. It has already proved successful in probing the con- sumer's mind to boost commodity " sales.- And it may 'be able to do the same job for the churches--. . once a few matters are cleared- up. First on the list of problems is money. "A full-scale depth probe will cost about $50,000. "This is no project to be car- . ried out by part-time poll-takers. making extra money," according to Daniel Yankelovich, whose firm of Nowland & Co. may get the job to divine public feeling about worship. "This kind of work requires highly trained psychologists and interviewers who will spend at least three hoursiwith a subject," . Yankelovich said. He explained that depth inter- viewing is a five-part technique. There are direct questions fol- lowed by systematic exploration of 'each answer, reconciliation of. inconsistencies between the two, followed by psychological tests and analyzed at the end of each day's probing. "No two days of interviewing are alike,' he said. "We change the approach and emphasis ac- cording to what we learn as we go along. The result is a full pro- file of all the deep feelings." - It is this result which presents the church people with their scc- ond major problem: morality, . Is it moral, religious institu. tions ask themselves, to manipu- late people by putting the finger on exposed needs and fears? While some of the 56 million non-church-goers claim this is what 'churches have been doing for years, Yankelovich -answers the question in a different way. "Think of it in terms of com- munication," he said, "Motiva- tional Research has been able to provide consumers with a way to express their-needs to manu- facturers, 34 ARLY * "Certainly some manufacturers use this information to manipu- late their consumers: But it works only once because people won't ' buy the product again after a disappointment, We have » done some complete market and motivational research whete wa later told our clients to get out of the business." Program has 70 membess all faiths and is backed by national religious grou "All we want from kind of research," the Rev. Mr. Mat- thews sald, "are the findings." Does this, mean that churches may change if popular feeling calls. for it? "Our members," he said, "will use the facts as they see fit.

Scientists in France are jubl- lant because they believe they have discovered a new serum against old age which harmless- ly peps up people of seventy "years and over. They report that it is having remarkable results; in time it may even. rival the African tribe's "Never grow old" 'serum. This new serum is now being used for research In" a Paris hospital where there are a hum- ber of old people. It is said to be capable of restoring muscular strength, of improving physical health and of livening up the mental faculties. It also gives old people strength to fight in- ternal organic changes, say the discoverers, a man and a woman scientist, . i The serum arrives at the hos- pital in powder form #&fter be- .ing prepared at near-zero tem- peratures. A doctor adds water and injects it into a patient, the dose being repeated over a per- iod of several days. "The serum 'makes you feel younger and full of vitality, even when you are over seven- ty," say the scientists, who are justifiably proud of their achievement, : Research into. the almost in- scrutable secrets of longavity have been speeded up since the war, Experiments are being car- ried out in many countries, in- cluding America and Russia, with a view to discovering how. men and women can live to a ripe old age and still retain con- trol of their faculties and health, Imaginative scientists have al- ready predicted that by the year 2500 men and women may enjoy a life of at least 200 years, That sounds fantastic, but in a world where men can launch satéllites - into space, who .can tell what scientific investigation into methods of achieving longer life may bring about? dig angler Les Lear displayd his two fish, Joined together for mounting.

Poor feed- ing practice on the part of the producer is frequently blamed: for this condition. T. M. Mac- Intyre;, Experimental Farm, Nappan, Nova Scotia, points out that this is unfortunate, since in most cases off-flavours in eggs are acquired after the eggs leave the producers. * + * Too much fish: or oily fish meal is very rarely the' cause of oft-flavoured eggs because much larger quantities of fish oil and fish meal would have to be fed than is now included in laying rations. Experimental work has shown that up to 20 per cent fish meal had no effect on egg flavour. Nevertheless, fishy fla- vour in eggs does occur and ls apparently due to some meta- bolic disturbance in the bird. Birds affected with this disorder have a distinct odour to thelr breath. Since removal of these birds from the flock is not fe ticable, some "fishy" eggs probably always appear on the "market, * * + In general, Bowaye neither. + bid We not its feed is réspons- ible for most off-flavoured eggs. The off-flavour is primarily be- cause eggs will take on odours and flavours when stored close to many strong smelling and olly materials, In addition, as eggs get stale, off-flavours\ seem to be accentuated so tliat stale eggs are frequently the cause of com- plaints about flavour. J * L] A sldelight on egg production costs is reported from Experl- mental Farm, Charlottetown, PEI With a flock of 2,198 Leghorns average feed require- ments for 4,789 dozen eggs lald In' December was 3.84 pounds per dozen. Under somewhat colder conditions in January the feed conversion was 4.32 pounds per dozen for 4,667 -dozen eggs. With feed at $88 per ton the average feed cost per dozen eggs was 16.9 cents in December, and 19.0 cents In January, a dif- ference of 2.1 cents per dozen. * 1] * The all-mash system of feed- ing layimg hens has advantages, the principal ones being that a feeder knows the actual level of the various nutrients his birds are consuming.

An experiment was made at the Experimental Farm, Bran. don, Man., to test the value of grit In all-mash rations and te establish a simple yet effective method of ration supplementa- tion if grit proved advantageous. The all-mash ration used was formulated to be complete in all dietary nutrients, including the necessary mineral supplements, Eighty birds, confined to indi- vidual laying cages, were alloted to each .of the following treat- ments: All-mash with no added grit; mash plus 18 grams of grit per bird fed once each month; mash containing one per cent grit; mash with grit fed free- choice. * » 1] The results show {hat egg and feed require. ments to produce a dozen eggs were not affected by grit supple- mentation. Average body welght and egg weights were similar in all treatment groups and egg shell thickness was not improv- ed by grit feeding. Under the conditions of this experiment the extra cost and labour in- volved in adding grit to an all- mash ration was not justified.
