$e All Holidays Aren't Pure Fun Single-handed, the attractive London typist was sailing a six- teen = foot boat from Tower Bridge to the Belgian cpast on her summer holiday, "= All went well until she was' within three miles of the shore. Then' a sudden squall blew up; her boat was dismasted and be- gan to drift towards some rocks. Just when it seemed she would be dashed to death, the girl, Julia 'Mellors, sighted what she took to be a buoy, Rowing with one oar, she managed to go alongside and pass a rope through a ring. But Julia's adventures were only just beginning. To her dis- may she found the buoy was also drifting. But her dismay turned to terror when she saw that the buoy was a mine! One sharp knock, and all her holidays might be over for ever. Despite the gale, Julia jumped into the sea and swam for the distant shore. Luckily for her, some fishermen had seen what was happening. Having rescued her, they told the authorities who sent out a patrol vessel to detonate the mine. : Even so, Julia didn't fare too badly. She received a' £5 note for broadcasting her adventures, . and a sturdy boat--from "grate- ful fishermen--to rep one that had foundered; It would need a whol to describe the strange" T : holidays which quite ordinary people take for the fun of it. _ Believe it or not, a classics lec- turer at Manchester University --Norman Marlow--spends his holidays working as a signalman. He was always fascinated by trains, and having qualified dur- Ing his holidays, he now spends 2 happy week or two pulling 'levers on a main-line signal box. Not long ago he wrote a fascinat- Ing book on the subject.

Yet regularly each summer a Birmingham coach painter, Roy Harris, goes there for his solitary holiday. In Liverpool there lives a re- tired bus driver named Jenkins, For the past ten years his sum- mer hoiday hgs- pever varied. Although he ia past seven- ty, he cycles "Hearly 400 miles to Cornwall, taking a week for the journey, Having arrived, he spends another week driving the school bus, enabing his son, the garage owner, to have a break. You would be amazed at the strange holidays some peéple try for. Every year hundreds of people write for permission to spend their summer holidays in lonely lighthouses and weather ships. . One young man - seriously wanted to spend his on the top of Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square. His request was not granted! Others have tried for a fortnight in a submerged sub- marine, for a week in a dungeon under the grounds of the Tower of London, and in the Chamber of Horrers at Madame Tussaud's. A railway enthusiast spent a whole week travelling to and fro on the Royal Scot. Another spent a fortnight on a platform in a tree on Combe Hill over- looking the Vale of Aylesbury for a wager of £20. One sunny morning recently, James Paterson, a Glasgow ship worker, and his wife stood by the gate surrounded by suitcases and coats and vacuum flasks. Soon a steamroller came into view and clanked to a stop out- side their house. The driver was the Patersons' young son, Ted, who had driven round from the waste land where the steamrol- ler, Jenny, was parked. "All aboard!" Ted cried. Mum and Dad clambered into the driver's roomy cab and off they steamed for a five-day tour of Loch Lomond. A crowd of reporters and cameramen would normally have given them a send-off, but the Patersons wise- ly changed their advertised date of departure to avoid too much publicity. WIDESPREAD FAME .

The church was built In 1857 and has been in use ever since with only small remodeling fobs, until the addition of the new entrance with its vestibule. It was designed to match exactly the archi- tecture of the church. THE Life has its puzzling moments, and there are times when I doubt man's capacities. Just today a fellow put his own automobile in a lubritorium, so help me, and borrowed another car so he could run over to sée: me. While in the dooryard, "he 'had a flat tire. 1 backed the tractor over, slung his borrowed machine up on the hydraulic lift, and tried to take the wheel off and fix it. J J J Thus I learned that a certain manufacturer of automobiles, whose stock is presently at a fair point, is witless enough to put left-handed threads on his take- up nuts, I didn't know this; nei- ther did my friend. I got a length of two-inch pipe and put it over the wrench handle, and although we bent the wrench into a boom- erang we couldn't start the things. Then I telephoned my garage man, and he said to back 'em. They backed first rate. - L LJ LJ The left-handed nut went out with the buggy, where it was standarad equipment, and the only purpose they serve on an automobile wheel is to impugn the sanity of the maker. The idea on a huggy was that they turned with the prevailing direction and kept tight as you went -- right on 'the right, left on the left. You took the nuts off when you greased up, and turned accord- ing to which side of the buggy you were on. If you backed an old buggy far enough, the wheels would drop off. But you can back today's automobile, with its five little right-handed nuts on the left-handed side, clear across the country and arrive intact -- as- suming they're tight, writes John Gould in The Christian Science Monitor. * * * Life has other such moments. When you open a bag of hen grain, the rule is to "face the single stitch and cut from the right" Ever since bags were machine-sewn, every farmer who ever opened one has repeated that to himself every time. The machine doubles uo on one side, carries a single thread on the other, and if you start properly the whole thing unravels beau- tifully, But some wiseacre had to simprove on this.

' Thére isn't anything you can do except stand there and reflect on the person who set up this thing, and wonder what kind of 4 fellow he is, We had a, tractor - some years "back, and while it" was still new we were trying to figure out its structural nature, There was a curious protuber. ance on one side that sald "A-§" on it.

But a few years back I ran into the same thing again when I bought a prefabricated contraption made in England. England is not closely available to me for conferences, so I was glad to find detailed insrtuctions about erecting the contraption were included. Grasping the "spanner" as directed, 1 set to work. * 1] [] Things went well for a time, but all at once I straightened up, for I read, "Bolt this end first... ." All T needed to know was which end the designer was standing at when he dictated his instructions. And England was so far away. . * * Naturally I bolted the wrong end first, for I was standing at "that" 'end, and ran a 50-50 chance. Then I recall a water pump we had. Inside, where you couldn't possibly adjust _it, and had no way of séeing it if you could, was a little doodad that was stamped, "This side must be up at all times." We ran the pump for years, but had no way of knowing which side was up. . . . Another stunt they do is change part numbers on you. My old orchard spray tank slipped a cog one day, and I needed re- how person has -- Here's ingenious The Bible And The Businessman My friend Don Rogers has had considerable success with his recent books, so I hope he won's mind my using his column to write about a different book, This volume has sold a great deal more copies than anything. else ever written. , ., .. The all-time best seller I am referring to Is, o! course, the Holy Bible, Now why, you may ask, is a corporation chairman writing about the Bible in the financial pages of the New York Herald Tribune? I will have "to admit that there is a certain amount of co- incidence here. Soon after I re- ceived Don's invitation to do a guest column, I was asked by the non-sectarian .Laymen's National Committee to serve as national chairman of National Bible Week, which is to be ob- served during the third week in October. At first I wondered whether I should accept this honor. Af- ter all, I am no expert on the Bible. But I do happen to be- lieve, like many business men, that an application of religious principles is necessary to the successful conduct of business. When a major decision has . to be made, there are a few vital questions that help a buti- ness man arrive at the right answer. Is it profitable? Is it practical? Will it contribute to the company's success and future growth? But none is more im- portant than this one: is it mor- ally right -- or wrong? If anyone should feel that such a philosophy is softhearted or weak, I submit that the Bible, as a book of ethics, has stood the test of time as the most de- manding and effective code for getting along with our fellow men. ' It is a credit to the American business man that, in most cases, the moral principles he was taught as a child have stayed with him in his business life. It is also to. his credit that he has not neglected his religious life upon reaching adulthood. In the New York area alone hun- dreds of thousands of business people are leaders in their churches or synagogues, teach- ing young people's classes, help- ing to raise funds, serving in fraternal and charitable organ- {zations. Some even occupy pul- placement parts. I dug out the catalogue and parts list, invested in an airmail stamp, and sat back to wait. Presently the parts arrived -- WT108 WP74, WD102, and valve- plate VP700. None of them fitted anything I had, so I invested in a telephone call, and the alert, capable, obliging, successful plant superintendent told me they had lately renumbered all parts. The things I had were for a multiple lawn mower for golf courses, and he would check and forward what I needed in a few days. The right parts came just after I finished picking apples. LJ] . LJ Now that I think these things over, they seem amusing. But at the time they filled me with won- der and doubts, pits as lay preachers. A tire dealer who was also chairman of his church board told me: "We weren't put on this earth just to live off each other. If I can't conduct my busi- ness with consideration for my fellow man, I have no right to be in business." You may not find the Bible physically present in the board of directors' room, but you can be sure it is there in the minds and consciences of most of the members. Today its teachings carry more weight than ever before. The space age poses questions we do not fully understand. The nu- clear race has us sitting at the edge of potential extinction, And the propaganda mills of com- munism blast our ears with that most tiresome statement: "Re- ligion is the opiate of the peo- ple." We hasten to remind the So- viet rulers of a quotation from an early Tribune editor, Horace Greeley: "It 1s impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible-reading people. The prin- ciples of the Bible are the groundwork of human free- dom." We cannot, of course, blame all the ills of our society on communism or the hydrogen bomb. Within ourselves we fight a constant battle against moral irresponsibility, the temp- tation to "cheat just a little" and the ever-eroding philosophy of trying to get something for noth- ing. We search for the simple, mul- tipurpose pill, one that will solve all the problems that sometimes seem to overwhelm us. We finally conclude that there is no such miracle drug. We are drawn again to the Holy Bible for spiritual and moral guidance, Inner strength, and the best set of principles the business man, or any man, will ever find.--By H. E. Humphreys Jr.,, Chairman of the Board, United States Rubber Co., as re- ported in the New York Herald Tribune. A well-known comedian had just made his after-dinner speech at a gathering of notables. When he had seated himself an emin- ent lawyer rose and, standing with hands deep in his trousers pockets, a habit of his, he laugh- ingly asked: "Doesn't it strike the company as a little unusual that a professional humorist should be funny?" When the laughter had sub- sided, the comedian drawled: "Doesn't it strike the company as a little unusual that a lawyer should have his hands in his own pockets?" Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking | 3 N [o) By Rev R. B. Warren, B.A, B.D, Spirit-filled Witnesses \ Acts 2:14, 22-24, 32-38, ; Memory Selection; Repent, and be baptized every one of you ia the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38, Today's lesson has the key te the explanation for the rapid growth of the early church. The one hundred and twenty dis- ciples tarried in Jerusalem un- til they received the gift of the Holy Spirit. It was the 'feast of harvest', fifty days after the feast of the passover. Many Jews from different areas of the known world were there for the annual feast. On the day of Pentecost the gift of the Holy Spirit was given to the waiting believers. "Sud- denly there came a sound from hegven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them." This description reminds us of the thunderings and lightnings o Mount Sinai before God call Moses into the mount to give him the law. The words foe 'wind" and 'spirit' are the same in the Hebrew language and In the Greek language in which the Old and New Testaments were written. In John 3:8 Jesus points out the similarity of the working of the Spirit to the wind. Fire is also a symbol of the Spirit. Its presence on the brow of the be- lievers indicated that God the Holy Spirit had taken up His abode in their hearts. He had purified their hearts (Acts 15:9) and given them power to witness. The disciples promptly left the room and went forth to thelr task. Then a miracle happened. These Galileans, faced with peo- ple from Rome, Egypt, etc, found the difference of language no barrier. The hearers were amazed, asking, "How hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Galileans were speaking of the wonderful works of God in lan- guages with which they were un- familiar. Thus the Gospel had a wide hearing on the very day of Pentecost. Peter gave the main sermon. The pouring out of the Spirit was fulfillment of Joel's prophecy. He condemned those who had crucified Jesus and showed how His resurrection was a fulfillment of Old Testamen} prophecies. He urged them to re- pent. That day 3000 repented. There was a warm fellowship among the believers so that the needs of all were met. They were a very happy people and dally others were saved and joined their number. If we will obey God, He will dwell in us today and give us power to witness for Jesus Christ. In Los Angeles, Robert Patrick was arrested after he grew tired of waiting in a bus for the driver to return, drove off with it him- self.
