They know, of course, that the organization is associated with banners, bonnets, blue uniforms, king-sized bass drums, brass bands, tuneless tambourines, coffee crullers and campaigns. Or if better informed they know in a vague sort of way that the organization does good work among the hungry, home- less, heart-broken and hollow-pursed where society's need is greatest. But such knowledge is based almost exclusively on the supplementary feature of the Army's program -- social service work. And to possess such knowledge only is to miss entirely the paramount feature of Army endeavour, to tell and show, by song, word, and deed, the regenerating and revitalizing mes- sage of Christ's gospel. This has been The Salvation Army's primary and persis- tent purpose in this land, right from the very start. As far-reaching as is its present-day program of temporal setvices including hospitals, nurseries, orphanages, boys' clubs, medical clinics, maternity homes, inebriates' homes, em- ployment bureaus, working men's hotels, industrial homes, clubs for servicemen and other activities -- the whole should be tecognized as a practical application of The Salvation Army's dominating spiritual motive. Stripped of its outreaching spiritual passion, The Salva- tion Army would at once forfeit its chief claim to distinction and be relegated to a place among the strictly professional. It is the Army's spiritual passion which makes the Army's rank and file follow in the footsteps of Christ in unselfish, unpre- judiced service to the distressed, degraded, diseased and demon possessed, and which makes it an inspiring and impressive ex- ample of Christianity in action. as SiR SAIS Germany and Portugal.

Z "We don't have the problem of some 1,500 different lots of wine. "But in the daytime -- from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.--I never swallow any,' he said gravely. The testing is one of the duties that falls to Dr. Amerine as direc- tor of the University of California's Gepartment of enology, or wine making. The department operates its own small winery and 150 acres of vineyards stocked with more than 1,000 varieties of grapes. It also is, pioneering in the devélopment of automatic grape harvesting. Its 50 students come from all parts of the world, including such famed wine centres as France, the smart-alee student looking for a snap subject,'"' said Dr. Amerine. "Before enrolling our students have to have 16 units of chemistry, eight units of physics and nine units of math, including calculus. "These requirements are so stiff they eliminate all except the seri- ous students, those really interest- ed in finding a career in the wine industry."' To Dr. Amerine, this is more than a mere academic pursuit. To him the lore of wine is full of both poetry and romance. "A good wine must have a come-hither quality -- something to remember," he remarked, and Orillia Haileybury, Ont. 4 HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY MONUMENT a | For your free copy of Rock of Ages' new illustrated booklet "How To Choose Your Family Monument"' visit us today. a AUTHORIZED DEALER 4 SANDERSON MONUMENT CO.

It must have something to stimulate the imagin- ation. A memorable woman or a mem- orable wine must have a special individual quality -- if either is too transparent, how can either be really interesting?" BUDPEST Uncle Janos made his alcoholic's bed so he had to lie on it -- even when he popped out for snifter. The newspaper Orszagvilag told the story: Uncle Janos was sent to a hospital by his family for a drying-out. He es- caped twice and finally was strapped to his bed. When his thirst prevailed, Uncle Janos hobbled off again toward the nearest bar, taking the bed along. But he couldn't get the bed through the bar- room door. HALIFAX (CP) -- A miner who came to Canada "to help open up the country'"' and was a First World War front - line soldier in his 60s says he "doesn't feel a bit old." John Baptiste Winclose, 105, con- siders himself a handyman, not a patient, at the hospital where he lives. His clear blue eyes sparkle as he recalls his younger days. Telling about his first smoke, he said: 'Oh my. I started when I was about three years old. My father filled his pipe, lifted me on his knee and said 'Take a smoke of your daddy's pipe.' And I've smoked ever since." He doesn't drink. "I'm tee-total. My Father drank. But he lived to be' 120."' An engineer, prospector and sol- dier, Mr. Winclose was born in Charleroi, Belgium, in 1856 and came to Canada in 1892 in charge of a detachment of miners. "We landed in Saint John, N.B., and went by train to Princeville, N.S.,"' he said. '"'From there we travelled by open sleigh to Broad Cove, Cape Breton. I opened the mine there. Later it was called Inverness Mine and it gave its name to the place." Mr. Winclose says he started several other mines in the Atlan- tic provinces, including one at Glace Bay, N.S., and a big stone quarry in Newfoundland: Later he went to Africa and helped open up a gold mine in the then Belgian Congo. He has also worked on mines in Russia, Iran and Australia. Mr. Winclose says he was at first rejected as being too old when he volunteered as Belgium was in- vaded in 1914, but got into service eventually. He said he saw action in the front lines at Passchendaele, Cambrai and Arras and is still plagued by bronchitis in winter as a result of being gassed. Returning to Canada after the war, he went into the construction business and helped build many of the homes in what now is an older section of Halifax. About a year ago he moved to Camp Hill Hospital here from a small hotel outside the city, where he had tended the garden and cut wood each day. In the hospital he looks after friends in wheelchairs and helps with the dishes. Last Christmas he helped make toys for sick chil- dren, and was delighted when he received a letter of thanks. "He's a most co-operative pa- tient," said one nurse. "He loves .|to help us and he doesn't like being waited on. He collects the tea cups and trays after meals, and he's a pleasure to have."' BLANDFORD, -- A dog. named _ Rebel trotted over to the railroad track precisely at 10:20 a.m. As he arrived, the Pines Express sped past. A window of the kitchen car opened and out flew a parcel of bones, which Rebel deftly fielded on the fly. Rebel's owner, Rev. W. B. Pendrick, says this happens every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The dog's benefactor is unknown. "The strange thing about it all," said Mr. Pendrick, "is that Rebel knows not only the - right time but the right days." England Early Census Takers In the Middle Ages, censuses were taken to levy taxes and raise armies. But the Canadian law for- bids the use of census data for any such purposes.
