People live on them. Nothing seems to happen to me, ever, on the big bonded highways. They have no mail boxes akimbo, or lighted kitchens, or frosted tie- up windows. I like to swing along the rivers, and over the hills, and keep in touch. So she said, "Better find a. place to pick up a loaf of bread." Idon't understand the feminine inventory, She had been riding along, checking the cupboards and shelves back home, conduct- ing a running account of provi- sions, Bread -- yes, bread was low, and breakfast would be coming up. So we came to a fork in the road shortly, with a store, and I pulled up. "And I guess some prunes," she added. This was far from somewhere. We were back in the woods. Yet progress hasn't been selective, and "you can have about any- thing now back in the woods. No reason to expect any de- ficiencies -- the little country store now has its frozen foods and such. I pulled open the door and stepped in -- and there was a difference. They were burning wood, in "a, wood stove, It smelled good. You have to have a little touch of wood I like back roads. . smoke in the air whenever you _ burn wood, because a little puf! or two comes: out when you open the front door and stoke. And you have to keep stoking. But more than that, wood heat is another kind of heat, and yon can feel it. It was cozy in the store, warm to hot, and as I left the door and walked forward it began getting hotter. I went by a stand of axes and a couple of chain saws on the floor, and saw: a display of felt boots. This was lumbering country, and such things would be in demand in the winter. There was a fellow sitting by the stove--just sitting --and he was gray and elderly. Mackinaw and _ mittens on, cap down_ over his ears, he didn't loo at me. He didn't know I was ing in, so he hadn't planned to look up. And a wom- an came out of a back room when she heard me close the door. » "Hi!" she said. I sald, "Hil" She said, "Guess it'll be colder fore it's warmer." . "Oh, I sald, "it'll warm up come June." The man said, "I it don't, it'll be a long winter." Now, I report this fully, for 1 5 AP) FISHING PARTY--Location where Russian fishing trawler was captured by Norweglan Navy ship Is spotted on Newsmap. Charged with violation of Nor- way's fishing boundarles, the Russians were escorted to the town of Aalesud. " but giving believe there are expatriate people present who will want to know there still is such a store, with axes on display, and old men at a stove--a stove, even-- and a society where conversa- tional by-play is as important as ringing the cash registers "Wood fire feels good," I said "Best kind," she said. "None better," said the man. The woman said, "Been so cold I have to get up once and fill it. Freeze up if I didn't. Most of the time it'll hold hot ashes to morning, but these cold nights" I'd wish it to burn longer." "Can't you get oil here?" 1 asked, knowing that they could, the. conversation every opportunity. "Oh, sure," she said. "But I'd look sweet buying oil with the proiit on what groceries I. sell: here. Besides, I got 10 men cutting hardwood, and if I just take out one stick to a cord, I couldn't burn it. "Not that I do," she said. "But I could. Scalers would never know." "Wouldn't you like to have an oil furnace?" "Well, yes and no. Be a fine thing, but old John D.'s got all he needs without support from me. I got fifteen hundred acres I pay taxes on, and wood just lays around. That stove can glow red, and it don't cost me a cent." The door opened and closed, and it was my girl friend com- "ing to see what happened to me." "Oh, smell the wood tire," she says. "I burn wood at home some," she said to the woman. "Best to bake by," said the man, "I want some baking powder, too," she said to me. "Baking powder," said the woman. "Anything else?" "Bread and prunes," I said. "I got loose ones and tight ones," she told me. "Loose ones is best," said the man. "They cook up better, and got more gumption." "Let's have a snatch of loose ones," quoth I. "Best kind," said the man. So we paid up and drove along, with an invitation to stop in again, and while the bread had seen better days, the prunes were delicious. We cooked them on a wood fire, which is the best way. It's nice to know that that little store is there, hotter than a two-dollar pistol, and het by wood through preference and prudénce. It's on the road less traveled by, right in the fork, back a piece. --by John Gould in The Christian Science Monitor. $200 A Shot "This is a money-making scheme," a Canadian official said frankly last month, his eye on the huge amounts wealthy sportsmen spend on big-game hunting in Africa. The scheme: To open up the isolated grass and muskeg country of the North- west Territories to buffalo hunt- ers. The North American buffalo, onetime king of the plains, is almost extinct in the U.S. but more than 13,000 closely pro- tected by the .government, still roam Canadian grasslands, Strays from the Wood Buffalo National Park in Northern Al- berta and the Northwest Terri- tories have been straggling north in "such numbers that food is - running short, so hunters will be allowed to kill 2,700 of the un- gainly but tasty beasts.

THE FARM FRONT hn Russell Registered warehouses have been advocated by a leading government official as a means o! bolstering a sagging potato industry in Canada. * * J E. G. Paige, Director of Fruit -and Vegetable Division Canada Department of Agriculture, re- minded the Potato Section of the Ontario Soil and Crop .Improve- ment "Association that potato consumption has slipped by about 40 per cent over the past 30 years. i He said an urgent examina- tion of production and merchan- dising methods is warranted to see what can be done to hall this disastrous downward trend. * J Ld Mr. Paige noted that with re- gistered warehouses, the onus would be on the grader or packer to comply with grade standards and other regulations. It would mean a more consist- ently well-graded pack being put on the market. Too, warehouses would pro- vide records of sales and aver- age returns, aiding federal sup- port programs or deficiency pay- ment systems, And, he added, production of a better eating potato would be encouraged. + LJ * "Position ol! the potato in the national economy is such that the industry must make every effort to see that services avail- able to it through universities and governments are used to best advantage," said Mr. Paige. "Ways and means of improve- ing its position, however, must emanate largely from the in- dustry itself." * * ! While conceding that the high standard of living in Canada Is partly responsible for the de- crease in consumption of pota- toes and other low-cost foods, the federal spokesman claimed the degree to which changes in eating habits occur-can be in- fluenced by the quality and at- {ractiveness of the products as they are presented to the house- wife. . . .

The. Antonovka wood that makes up the trunks and lower portion of the scaffold branches was not injured. LJ LJ * While forming only 89 per cent of total beef gradings in 1958, the new Standard grade, introduced a year ago filled a gap In national bee! grades and justified its creatlon. Homer J. Maybee, Canada De- partment of Agriculture, sald Standard bee? was in demand by institutional purchasers like the Armed Forces and hospitals. In fact, on occasion some sup- pliers with Department of Na- tional Defence contracts substi- tuted Good grade beef because of the shortage of Standard. * * * Owing to the lack of volume, Standard has yet to be sold jn any proportions on the retall level, - Though this grading was fair- ly uniform throughout the year, the high point was May when it averaged 9.9 per cent of total Canadian slaughtering. A built-in possibility is that Standard will be called: on if Canadian consumers demand a leaner type of beef and prices fall into line accordingly. "The Standard grade has proved a worthwhile change," summed up Mr. Maybee. The Lewis woodpecker of the far West doesn't dig into wood for its food. It catches insects and bugs on the ground or in the air, or bores into fruit for them. That Long Arm Of Coincidence! How significant are colncl- dances? From time to time, even in the most humdrum lives, events occur which bring some of us up with a jolt. Some of these events may be no more than mildly surprising; others may gent a lasting influence on our ves. : An example of a remarkable but not really baftling concl- dence was recently quoted by a famous Harley 'Street doctor. He tells of a man who noticed a second-hand walking-stick in a bric-a-brac shop. He bought it, and when he got home dis- covered that it bore his own ini- tials in silver. Closer scrutiny showed that underneath the ini- tials was the date of his birth. Yet investigation showed that no one in his family had ever owned the stick! Even more striking is the tale of the young sub-lieutenant who made repeated visits to the Admiralty to try to discover the fate of a friend called Green, who had been captured by the Japanese in Hong-Kong. Eight or nine visits over a period of many months failed to yield any trace of his friend The sub- lieutenant gave up the search. On the following day his car was halted at traffic lights just outside the Admiralty. Crossing the road in front of him was the missing friend. He had made a sensational escape from the Japanese. It was, in fact, his very first day in England! Walter de la Mare, the poet, told another true story of coin- cidence. A friend of his--we'll call him John Brown Smith Jones--on a walking tour in Cumberland, put up for the night at a hotel. As he was about to sign the register he saw that the last signature in the book was his own unusual com- bination of names--John Brown Smith Jones. He never discovered who his namesake was, for the stranger had left overnight. But this was not the end of the story. When the traveller reached Kirkby Lonsdale and stayed the night there, he found the following entry in the visitors' book: Jones Smith Brown John, his own me exactly in reversel Some coincidences seems so far-fetched that it is difficult to believe them, even when one has proyed them true. Not long ago, for example, a writer set out to walk from John o' Groats to Land's End, meaning to write a book on his travels. On the very same day, another writer set out to walk the opposite direction, from Land's End to John © Groats, also with a view to writ- ing about his journey. Investigation showed that the two travellers, unknown to each other, had actually stayed the night in the same hotel--the Trust House at Abergavenny-- and that their respective pub- lishers had offices exactly op- posite each other in the same street. The two books might even have appeared on the same day if one of the travellers had not seen a newspaper report of the other. Eventually one of them gave way. But for the most staggering coincidence story of all we must turn to the statisticians, They assure us that if a monkey were given a typewriter and continu- ed to batter away at the keys for an infinite period--perhaps billions of years--it would one day type a correct draft of Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," quite inadvertently, of course. It's that sort of possibility which adds edge to a line from Shakespeare himself: "There are more things . in heaven and earth . . . than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Warren, B.A., B.D, God's Love and Man's Refusal Matthew 21:33-43 Memory Selection; Ho Is des- plsed and rejected of men. Isalak 53:3. The day of Calvary would come later that week and Jesus knew it. In parable he foretold His own death at the hands of God's favored people, Israel, God had bestowed great blessing on the chosen seed of Abraham. He expected fruit. But they had beaten and slain many of His messengers. Micaiah and Jere- miah were imprisoned; Zachar- jah the son of Jehoida was stoned to death. Then God sent His be- loved Son. Against Him they poured forth their hatred and envy as they prevailed on Pilate to crucify Him. It seemed on that dark day that God was de- feated. But He wasn't. Three days later He raised His Son from the dead. Forty days later He received Him into Heaven to sit at His own right hand. In 70 A.D. God's judgment fell on this rebellious people. Their city was destroyed by the Roman army and they were scattered throughout the world. Only in the last forty years have they been allowed to return to their own land and that under some restrictions, The Gospel which was first presented to the Jews was given a more favorable re- ception by the Gentiles. Why do people reject Jesus Christ? While many of the Gen~ tiles have accepted Jesus Christ, many still reject Him. It's hard to understand. We know that to obey God and accept His salva- tion as provided by Jesus Christ, Is the proper thing to do. But sin blinds our eyes. It requires effort to turn from sin and seek God. Of course, we are not saved by our effort. We are saved by faith. But it requires exercise of the will to repent of our sins and thus get into the position where God can give us the faith by which to believe. Jesus, in his lament over Jerusalem, said, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens un- der her wings, and ye would not!" A hen has several calls for her chickens. They must heed the call and come to the shelter of her wings. So we ought to heed God's call. If we don't, we shall have no shelter when the storms of God's judgment break upon the earth. Let us come 'to Jesus Christ!
