build character and courage by taking man initiative and independence You cannot help men permanent by doing for them what could do for themselves Lincoln Two University of Western Ontario scientists have treated a coffee break snack out of raw sewage Other people might be more reluctant to the delicacy but Jim and student Volesky who developed the fungus food say the high protein flakes could well save thousands of persons from dying of starvation The food companies are- giving at least million a year in incentives Cash prizes in packages are creating other problems also that probably even the most zealous promoter didnt conceive when the program was introduced Four young scalhwags in Grades 7 and were caught recently smoking cigarettes behind portable classroom in a Wellington county school playground An indignant principal moved to discipline the quartet But then he found there was another problem as well They had bought a well known brand for their illicit puffing and won themselves a winning poker hand worth 1 00 The story doesnt say so but no doubt the principal was torn between knocking the quartets heads together and congratulating them for picking a winner tastes like dry blotting paper It is when a microbe found in raw sewage is treated with natural gas- the worlds largest natural resource Jogging is obviously fast becoming a new route to physical fitness

failed However for most of others I squeeze a single tear There is a job for per cent of them if they want But they want THE job They want one like the old man has Hive days a week coffee breaks nothing demeaning and good pay They dont want a job they want a sinecure Something where they can put in so many hours and collect so mueh loot whether they re any use of not something where they can treat the job as an unfortunate interruption of their fun lime and thai is not beneath them Police in Montreal arc catching speeders without being bothered by the difficulty of attributing time measurement to the wrong car according to Canadian Controls Instrumentation magazine in an article titled Phototimer radar clocks correct car at true speed According to the article a new phototimer radar unit ends inaccuracy of measurement due to fluctuations and interference The unit is said to be proof against radar detectors mounted in civilian cars and is said to end the question of error in court rooms by providing evidence against speeders as follows an automatically delivered photograph at the rear of the speeders vehicle showing his licence plate a speedometer registering his speed a clock showing the exact time the date and the surrounding area One of the great values of seat belts is that they prevent ejection from the vehicle after a crash The Ontario Safety League reports an
